You stop the Ki drill’s spinning and snap off a couple pieces of the axe, holding them in one hand. “That ‘when’ is gonna be very soon, Kiryu.”
The grip on the scythe tightens as it stares you down. The aura around it erupts with power, and your own golden aura blazes around you. The two of you dash around each other, with you dodging slashes of the scythe, backing up away from several beams that it fires down from its mouth area. It builds up energy as it builds up speed, attempting a tackle at you, but you dodge that as well, having forced it close to the core. A malicious orb of energy concentrates in one of its hands, one that seems to be drawing on the Destron Gas in the area. You feel… the Ki of many, many other things inside it, and it almost sounds like there’s SCREAMING coming from the orb. Kiryu launches the orb at you, and this might just be the opportunity you were looking for!
“HEY, KIRYU! CATCH!” you yell, punching forward the axe-drill and launching it at your foe. You also fling the two shards you snapped off of it at the thing’s wings. You very narrowly avoid the orb of energy filled with what might literally be the screams of the damned, which actually starts tracking you, and watch as Kiryu attempts to stop your attack, forced back against the barrier around the core of the larger Metal Beast. The shards hit its wings, but it doesn’t quite have as much stopping power as you wanted as Kiryu refuses to back down, attempting to move your attack away with its scythe. That’s when you pull out the last trick you’d been saving for this.
You use Instant Transmission to teleport right in front of your foe, right where your attack’s been caught. You punch your arm back into it and rocket forward at full power, aura blazing and sparking with all your might! “HRRRAAAAAAAHHHH!” With the screaming Ki sphere detonating behind you, you manage to push through and rip through Kiryu, pressing through the barrier and all the way on through the supercomputer core of the larger Metal Beast!
