Deep in the forest: dead calm. Nothing in the nearest mile. But then, a stream of flames set across the ground beside two trees.
Swords clash on the air with speed.
Forces come forth and dismantle the lands, fell trees and distort the spaces; above and below.
The clashes come undone. Baki and Enekwe float backwards.
Baki quickly with Sendai in his right hand, put its blade before his mouth and blows fire into it.
It ignites, he holds the hilt both hands, performs a clockwise spin twice and sends a diagonal flame slash towards Enekwe.
He dodges with a forward head bend.
The blast goes and divides the space behind. It's upper part slides down a bit and produces a cry that shakes the vicinity.
Enekwe looks back from his right as it happens and covers his ears with both hands, facing Baki with closed eyes.
He opens them as the tremor dies down and sees Baki glaring at him.
He lets go of his ears with a shocked demeanor and grins.
"What's the problem!" He asks, standing upright with his hands down.
"I am very angry. It's like I'm losing my mind. I need to get off this island!" - Baki.
"Sure, you do! I mean you don't have a choice. You wouldn't last a day in your condition!" Enekwe mocks while Baki watches.
"I know. Which is why I will take it back from you." - Baki.
"You make it sound like it's yours." - Enekwe.
"In a way...it is." - Baki.
"Lol. Get a hold of yoursel-!" Enekwe say and a shadow in the form of a risen leg comes upon him. He looks up and completes while he sees Baki above him, left heel set for a kick... (Sendai still in his right hand)
"f..."
Baki gives it and sends Enekwe on a journey towards the ground. He reaches and sinks head first into it.
Baki lands before the hole with his legs spread as the dust dissipates, and begins to bring his hands together. (No Sendai in sight)
As he does, Enekwe screams while the hole seals. Eventually, it fastens and squishes Enekwe inside.
Baki relaxes but still stays alert.
Far behind, Enekwe comes forth from the trunk of a tree, camouflaging as the wood and sets an arrow with his left hand at Baki's direction.
He takes his time to position it and eventually does at the back of his neck.
He shoots.
It goes with force, distorts space and closes in on Baki.
Baki feels it and dodges with a jump to the upper right. The arrow passes him as he does, hits the ground and detonates massively.
The flame spreads, overcomes Baki and the area alongside Enekwe.
Suspended in its midst, they go Gear speedily on the air, all over the place; closing in on one another.
They reach. Enekwe grabs his right leg with his left hand and goes for a spin to the left.
The spin comes intense and Baki cuts off his hand with an up-slash using Sendai.
"Gyah!" - Mecca.
Enekwe screams as they both separate in the direction of their backs.
Sendai disappears.
Enekwe spins vertically downwards and lands. His hand sprouts back as he does.
Same time, Baki lands and cracks the ground.
They take a jump back and make-it-out the blast.
They suspend before it, backing an untouched part of the forest. They clap with their fingers pointed forth and clear the fire with an unprecedented force.
It vanishes from sight and the 'damaged' restores.
They land and face off.
A stream of destructive force from above, hits the ground in their midst and spreads.
They evade with a back flash.
Baki stops on top a branch and staggers a bit while holding the trunk with his right hand.
He sees the fire spreading and takes a firm stance with his arms in front of his face; right hand above, left hand down. (Fists clenched)
He sends frost from his mouth and freezes the attack. It reaches him and stops. Then he positions his right fingers against it.
He quickly clenches and boxes.
Force breaks through and shatters it. It falls apart and reveals the burnt down section of the forest.
Baki looks-on, with a nonchalant demeanor.
Roma stops in a left flash, standing sideways on the trunk facing Baki's upper right.
He calls with tattered clothes and with a sword in his right hand...
"Baki!"
Baki shakes, looks at him and asks...
"What the fuck? What happened to you!"
"I messed up." He says and sideflips.
He lands before Baki and staggers a little.
Baki sighs and calls...
"Romaa..."
"My Prince." - Roma.
Enekwe watches while standing at the fore right of a tree.
He blinks, carries and tilts his head to the left, shifting his eyes that direction.
He sees Uche coming out from the shadows, all tattered like Roma.
"Uche! You're fucked!"
"The boy was tuff!" He confesses.
"Get a grip!" Enekwe says and Uche Happens directly, by his left. Enekwe, still eyeing him, places his left hand on his right shoulder and restores him.
"Thanks." Uche appreciates. Enekwe nods and takes off his hand.
Then they face front, glaring up at Baki and Roma, who glares back.
Baki stands on the branch with Sendai in his left hand.
Roma stands on the air by his upper right.
They levitate and surge.
Baki and Roma surge as well.
They reach clashing distance, (each with a blade in his hand), and collide.
A great burst of aura erupts towards the sky where they are and wipes away more of the forest.
Miles away to the east of the blast, Abel runs ahead on top trees, with his body bent and fists behind.
By his left, a little far, Adora lands on trees tops and makes vast leaps.
They cover a large distance and eventually, take off to the air above.
They reach a point, turn and approach themselves.
On the way, Abel pulls out a Labrys from his back with his left hand and sends a slash to the left.
She blocks with a rod diagonally in both hands. (Right hand: the bottom point. Left hand: the top)
A grand wave of wind comes and blows the area; sending trees flying and uprooting land. Within' the choas, they aura farm.
He grins. She follows suit.
The wind dies and they flash away.
On the ground at a different part of the forest, they clash relentlessly. As they do, air cracks form and thunderclaps erupts.
Adaora makes a swing with her rod in her right hand to the left, towards Abel's head and he dodges with a slight back bend.
He quickly sets himself straight and watches as another attack comes at his left arm. He turns translucent and it passes through.
"Ah!" She goes and he warps.
Right after, Happens on the air before her and renders a power right spin kick to the left of her chest. She goes back with a...
"Ohh!"
As she goes, he surges.
She lands with a slight slide while back bent a bit. She straightens herself quickly and surges.
They scream while approaching.
Out of nowhere, Abel brings up a Gun in his left hand and shoots. It pierces through her right Scapula and paralyzes her, leaving her body erect.
She looks to the sky in shock, making disturbing sounds...
"Ah... Ah."
Abel reaches her with his Labrys in his left hand sent to the right side of his neck.
She shifts her right eye down.
He sends and she puts her rod now in her left hand down.
It cracks the ground. They clash, emit great force and send tremors across the area.
She puts her right hand under the left. Same time, he puts his left behind his right.
Once this happens, they engulf their weapons in aura. They scream, put more tremors to the area and eventually, make everything by them, cease to exist.
"Too baaad." Mecca says as they both stay, thrown back with the recoil.
They come to. Adaora lands while Abel tosses the blade to his right.
She sets herself and he attacks left and right..
He does so running forward as well.
She deflects left and right, running back.
They grunt and groan. The hole in her Scapula sizzles and seals.
Eventually, she holds firm and strikes with both hands, his blade up; using the bottom of her rod.
Then she puts her rod behind and comes in while bent, with a clockwise spin.
Abel jumps and spins to the left with his arms spread. He moves ahead and lands where she left. At the same time, she stops at where he took off.
They face off and he goes in for a strike towards her right side.
She jumps towards her upper back before impact.
On the air she stays above the trees, looking down and sets the rod horizontally, with open hands before herself. She grabs it and makes it spin to the left.
As it goes in high speed, it brings forth aura. And with it each turn, it ignites even more.
"Does she wanna destroy the World?" - Mecca.
"Yeah." - Clifford.
"Take this." She says, sets it straight (horizontal) and fires a great beam down.
It breaks through the trees towards Abel.
He stands tall waiting.
It engulfs him.
