>>6146489With a single blow, Blue Chaya shatters Hit's Tides of Time, merging that parallel dimension back into this one. However, the assassin wasn't just watching, you now see him standing only a yard or so from Chaya, right fist drawn back. Power spiking and aura blazing, you sense something big is about to happen. Realizing what technique he's about to use, you feel your eyes widen, watching as Hit throws his right forward. Upon reaching the apex of his punch he seemingly strikes the air, purple fracture lines of energy appearing in the air as he fires a concentrated beam of condensed energy directly at Chaya. Who doesn't even try to evade, instead planting her feet, bracing herself as she places one hand behind the other. Clearly trying to <span class="mu-i">catch</span> the reality-bending attack.
“No, move!” you shout, nearly rising to your feet as the hyper-condensed attack makes contact. Piercing straight through her aura, slamming into your other you's outstretched palm. But to your shock she actually does it, catching the beam in her hands. Hit's attack, though, isn't stopped so easily, pushing her all the way back to the edge of the ring, standing only on her toes before the beam fades. “No way.”
“Told you. She's not going down so easily.” Maza says smugly, but you're unable to take your eyes off the fight. Hit, even from so far away seems stunned that his attack was blocked, slowly lowering his fist. But instead of putting it back in his pocket, Hit takes on his usual narrow stance. Both hands up, elbows in with his left out front, an almost orthodox boxing guarded stance. Lowering her own still-smoking hands, Blue Chaya smirks, then suddenly vanishes! She used Instant Transmission without raising her hand to her forehead, not giving Hit any hints the attack was coming. One instant she's standing far away from him at the edge of the arena, the next she's behind him, right elbow aimed to spear Hit in the neck. But right before she can make contact, he moves.
Using his Time Skip to instantly turn, Hit punches Blue Chaya in the temple with his signature Phoenix Eye Fist style, driving all the force of his punch into a single knuckle. Knocking the younger you right off her feet and sending her flying back, only to flip after a yard and land on her toes. Immediately rocketing back towards the assassin who has retaken his stance, ready for her counterattack. But the expected counter doesn't come.
