>>5844278“RRRAAAAA!!” you roar, surging forward and slamming your right fist into your copy's, stopping it in place. “Demon King, kill him! Kill the summoner, and this copy of me disappea-!”
But your shout is interrupted as the copy follows the right up with a left, you drawing your forearm back and deflecting the heavy strike just past your head.Seizing the opening you jab with your left, only for this copy to activate his Energy Body a moment before impact. Negating the force of your strike, the punch not even budging him.
“Don't give me orders, mortal!” Dabura replies, firing twin beams from his eyes through a trio of Sangheili before cutting down a fourth with his blade.
“I can't help as long as I'm stuck fighting myself.” you call back, activating your own Energy Body as the Stand drives its knee up into your chest. Your armor mitigates the strike, you barely feeling the blow. Immediately you then grab his leg in both hands, spinning and tossing the other you at the mirror-wielding Stand. Who can't stop him, the fake you slamming into the mirror-wielding Stand user and sending him down into the never-ending sea of rising warriors, vanishing in the crowd. You try and take this moment to attack, dropping your Energy Body while gathering your ki into a fingertip, but the copy you teleports to you, grabbing your wrist before you can aim your Death Beam at the wielder. He then swings his right down from his forehead in a backfist, forcing you to bring your own right up to stop him. The copy releases you the moment his fist makes contact, the force of his overwhelming power sending you flying back.
Then, as you try and recover, see the copy focus its attention on the Demon King. He smirks, malice written on his face as his own Energy Body drops, pointing all ten fingers at Dabura. Realizing what's about to happen you focus on the Demon King's ki, teleporting between him and the copy of yourself just as he fires a Scatter Beam.
“BARRIER!” you shout, energy expanding into a sphere around you both as well as the two Sangheili he's killing, spear through one's chest while his sword has cleaved the other's head in two. As they turn to smoke the ten beams strike your shield, but the Barrier prevents them from entering. Strange enough, however, it seems that while inside your Barrier, the smoky essence of the fighters can't escape out of it. Something you telepathically tell Meloka, your wife acknowledging this before immediately ending the link again.
“Insolent little-!” Dabura says, hefting his spear and chucking it at the Stand user. Seeing this, the copy of you drops the attack, planning on intercepting it. But you're just as fast as he is, teleporting between it and him with Instant Transmission.
