You've taken that very combo, back before you even had the Apex power. And if you could power through back then, this you can certainly power through it now. You believe in you, in her. And as you have the thought, feel something swelling within your chest. Only for a shout to divert your attention, you turning towards the noise.
“IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT, CHAYA?!” the tiny blonde woman suddenly shouts, shooting out of her seat and raising a hand, clenching her fist before her face. “ARE YOU JUST GONNA QUIT? OR ARE YOU GONNA GET UP AND SHOW ME, SHOW US ALL WHAT YOU CAN DO?!”
And, as if in response to the woman's cries, Blue Chaya's body suddenly flips in midair, reorienting herself as her aura suddenly explodes with a roar that sounds almost Oozaru-like causing the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up.
“<span class="mu-s">HRRRRRAAAAAAAA!!</span>” Chaya bellows, the sheer force of her aura and bellow knocking Hit off balance and sending him sliding backwards across the arena for a couple yards before stopping himself. Looks like she isn't done yet after all, taking a deep breath and looking down her nose at Hit down beneath her as she drops to the arena floor. “Haaaah, hrrrmmm.”
“This is it. She's not going to hold back any more.” Maza says, sounding excited. “Here it comes.”
“Here what comes?” you ask, turning slightly towards him only to see the look of realization dawning on Ace's face. Immediately worrying you. “Ace?”
“No way, she can't be.” he says, eyes transfixed on your other self. So you turn back as well, watching the blue form of Chaya land on the ground opposite Hit. “She's not strong enough to handle that, not yet!”
“Handle what?” you ask him, not yet realizing what's about to happen as she sighs out, relaxing her body before clenching her fists and raising her gaze to meet the assassin's own, aura blazing. But that's when you notice her aura, it's different. And you recognize immediately what's about to happen.
“<span class="mu-s">KAAIOOOO-KEEEEN!!</span>” Chaya roars, and the entire stadium turns red. Bathing her arena with the crimson glow of the Kaio-Ken aura around her Blue, causing her to stand out even brighter than usual as she retakes her fighting stance.
“WHAT?!” Chilli exclaims, rising to his feet in shock. “Since when-?!”
“Impossible!” Meloka exclaims, stunned at Chaya's surging might.
“She isn't strong enough, she can't maintain this form for long.” Ace says, tone worried. But you know better, this is it. Chaya's going to win, you believe in her. “She has to end this, now!”
