As Kazuma and Yuji were running accross the small abandond city, Kazuma muttered "We've been running for over thirty minutes now, we should be at the end by now.", Yuji called to his attention "Kazuma, look.". Kazuma looked forward, his face widened with excitement "Finally...", what was infront of the two boys was the exit to the small city that was about 200 meters away "Finally, we're almost at the end. About time.", Kazuma exclaimed. Yuji asked "You have the ball with you?", Kazuma looked at him with a smirked as he teleported the box with the ball inside it on his palms "I have the ball and the box.", Yuji smirked "Hm, you sure are one crafty guy, Kazuma.", he said. Suddenly, in a flash of light, Ranpo dashed forward at Yuji and Kazuma. The boys were able to sense the incoming attack and turned back with shock written on their faces "Huh?!", Kazuma exclaimed before Ranpo hit him on the stomach with a dangerous blow "Found you!", he exclaimed with a smirk. Kazuma felt the pain of a full powered blow hitting his stomach "UHOA!", he groaned. Yuji was In shock "KAZUMA!", he yelled the name of his friend before jumping backwards and started shooting out of control lightning bolts at Ranpo "FUCKING HELL... GET OUT OF OUR WAY!", Yuji yelled as his bolts of lightning shot forward at Ranpo and caused dangerous explosions of lightning that went out of control. Yuji thought to himself as he continued to relentlessly fire out powerful bolts of blue lightning "What the fuck?! I thought we lost him! After Kazuma kept him in place, we thought he was done for. Sure, Ranpo would have gotten up after that trap and blast attempt, but we weren't expecting him to come at us so soon.". Ranpo got Yuji's attention despite being consumed by lightning, he stood in a place like as if Yuji's insane blasts weren't doing anything to him "Yuji, you're being carried away. In a real mission....", he prepared to charge forward "That could cost you your life!", he exclaimed with a burst of speed as he flew out of Yuji's chaotic lightning blasts, all the way towards Yuji for an attack. Before Ranpo could actually hit Yuji, Kazuma beamed in with the appearance of a purple light and then bashed Ranpo on the head with his head. Yuji and Ranpo were in shock "Kazuma?!", Yuji exclaimed with shock, Ranpo teased as he and Kazuma were head to head with eack other "Kazuma, wasn't expecting you to get up from that....", Kazuma had a very enraged look on his face "Tell me, are you really mad at me?", Ranpo asked with a mild smile, unreadable eyes and a head tilt. Kazuma powered up a tramendous amount of energy into his arms and started going blow for blow with Ranpo in combat, he and Ranpo were blitzing all over the place as they went blow for blow with bursts of energy and power sparking all over the place. As this happened, Kazuma yelled out "YUJI! RUN TO THE EXIT! I"LL HOLD RANPO SENSEI OFF!", Ranpo exclaimed, almost laughing "HAHA! YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN HOLD ME OFF?!", he asked before bashing Kazuma's head accross buildings without giving the boy a fighting chance. Yuji was in shock for a moment before he ran towards the exit as fast as he could, while doing so, Kazuma was getting himself beat up by Ranpo. Kazuma was enclosed with Ranpo in a dangerous hand to hand fight, teleporting around him and dishing out blows Ranpo had no way of defending himself from. But regardless of how relentless Kazuma's blows were, this wasn't doing too many damage towards Ranpo at all. Instead of feeling the pain, Ranpo actually enjoyed the blows "Ahh, so refreshing. SO EXCTATIC!", he yelled as he proceeded to punch Kazuma right on the face accross buildings. Kazuma flipper through concrete and bashed through walls before crashing into one final wall and laying there. Ranpo smirked "Now that he's down..." he turned around "I'll go for Yuji!", but before he knew it, a blaster of energy had appeared above him and shot him with a dangerous amount of energy, this blast caused a terrifying explosion. Yuji on the other hand kept running front "Damn it, I have little to no energy left in my system. How the hell am I supposed to make it to the front now?", he looked at his palm holding the ball in the box "Kazuma teleported this to me while he was busy holding off Ranpo, damn it! I really hope he's holding him off.". Ranpo appeared above him in a flash, a terrifying smile accross his face "No he didn't.", he said. In slow motion, Yuji looked up and saw Ranpo about to punch him with incredible force. He gritted his teeth in shock and instantly goes to block the punch from above, by blocking the blow, the impact alone caused the ground to scatter along side Yuji's lightning. Yuji was in terror "Shit! I've used up all my energy!", Ranpo seemed extatic "Hah! You've used up all the energy you had, huh?!". As he was about to punch Yuji with the force that would have made him cough out blood, Kazuma instantly teleported right beside Ranpo with a rod made from his purple energy. His eyes grew wild "Who do you think you're trying to punch like that?!", Kazuma growled before bashing Ranpo with devastating levels of energy from the rod he had made with his power. Kazuma kept bashing Ranpo with all the speed and power he had, each bash causing his energy to scatter all over the place. He turned to Yuji "YUJI....! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!", he yelled. Ranpo got up and instantly bashed Kazuma's head straight to the ground with dangerous strength and started beating him around by dragging him by the leg and continuously bashing him to the ground. Yuji was in pure shock, but still proceeded to run forward "DAMN IT!", he yelled. Ranpo looked at him "Where in the hell do you think you're going?!", he asked while trying to hold his explosive excitement on beating on his students. A few moments passed, Yuji was beat up and bruised on the floor, while Kazuma was on his knees with his arms stretched backwards and dragged by Ranpo. Ranpo taunted as he did so to Kazuma "If i were you, I'd give up now. Give me the box, and I'll let you go! You and Yuji! If you don't.....!", Ranpo continued to drag Kazuma's arm backwards with more force. Kazuma scremed in pain "AAAHA! AHAHAA! AHAHH!", Ranpo on the other hand seemed to be enjoying this while Kazuma was getting filled with rage "GOD DAMN IT!", his mechanical arm [SHELVERON], started to glow. Ranpo noticed this "Huh?", he asked exhaled in shock. Kazuma yelled, his body beat up with blood and bruises "GOD DAMM IT, RANPO SENSEI! I SAID LET GOOOOOO!", just as he yelled out in rage, his mechanical arm responded by blasting a dangerous amount of energy at Ranpo. This high powered blast shot Ranpo backwards as well as engulfing him completely "What the...?! What is this amount of power? It's just as strong as Mio's blast from that time!", the surrounding area got engulfed in the explosion Kazuma created with [SHELVERON]. Kazuma immediately dashed forward, picked up Yuji and shot forward for the exit "I'm going to win this! No matter what!", he growled out. After the explosion had cleared, Ranpo stood up, blood on his mouth and burns on his hands, shoulders and chest. He thought to himself "That mechanical arm, looks like something Reggie would make. He should have told me first before giving my student a powerful weapon like that. Oh well, doesn't matter, I trust Reggie, so I'm not pissed.". He grinned "Kazuma, however, you sure have grown stronger, im impressed.". Out of breath and energy, with Yuji on his back, Kazuma made it to the finish line with the ball still with him. The boy dropped to the floor, unconscious. The solider watching the fight the whole time, ticked Kazuma and Yuji's name on a phone "Kazuma Starion and Yuji Takanoguro pass.", he said.
