>>5361608You get back up, but oh crap that wasn’t good. Yet you’re not giving up. He probably can’t spam something like that, might be the only chance you get to make up for that power boost you gave him. Think, quickly… wait, AHA! ‘Pantea, METEOR Spirit Bits, around me! Keep his focus on you for a moment! And have the biggest, toughest, fluffiest mittens in mind for a Clothes Beam!’
https://youtu.be/SsoY3W8-2zQ‘I like where this is going.’ She bolts down to the ground as her Spirit Bits surround you, syncing up with your aura… and thanks to you being in Mahou mode, that proves to be QUITE the potent link-up. They’re supercharged as you place both hands forward like a dragon’s maw. As you’re doing this, Pantea’s giving her all against Nox, the two of them trading blows. He’s certainly closer to her level now, and his stolen techniques are causing some problems. A Meteor Combination that Pantea just narrowly avoids the worst of as she counters with the Wolf Fang Fist, yet he hits HER with the Izumi Combo. He even nearly catches her with Sachie’s Rasengan, but Pantea blocks it by coating her arms in Ki and making wing-shaped guards.
‘It’s ready!’ you tell her, and lock on to Nox with the attack. Light Magic swirls between your palms, and is coursing through the enhanced Spirit Bits linked up with you. ‘Hey Nox! ABSORB THIS!’ Burst Stream, tripled up! “ULTIMATE! BUUUURST STREAAAAAM!”
Nox turns to face you, ready to absorb the attack again, but Pantea cheekily Clothes Beams some big, fluffy mittens over his hands, and flips back out of the ring, giving a V-sign as she leaves combat. Nox takes the full brunt of your attack, a blinding white light filling the arena as it explodes around him!
It takes a moment for the smoke and dust, to say nothing of the blinding light, to fade. Now THAT did some real damage to him! He’s left panting, scuffed up and clearly injured. He’s… surprised, but genuinely so. There’s a more appreciative smile on his face now. “Mahou… no. Izumi Mahogany. I thank you. THIS is the fight I’ve been waiting for! You and your partner are full of surprises!” He takes his fighting stance again… and his Ki starts to surge up. “More! SHOW ME ALL YOU HAVE!” There’s… a dark, dangerous Ki around him. Not… quite malicious, strangely enough. But it’s strong.
Oh now what…? …Well, that question’s answered quickly. “IZZY! IT’S THE MAKAIOKEN!” Peppa yells out to you in warning.
Crapbaskets.
