The soldier base had turned into a graveyard. Blood smeared the cold walls and scattered bodies lay motionless on the ground. Kirihai stood tall in the center of the chaos she had created, her blade dripping with fresh crimson blood. Most of the soliders had died while some were just unconscious.
She calmly walked up to one of the few surviving soldiers, a trembling man whose eyes were wide with terror after witnessing the massacre.
With a smile on her face, Kirihai tilted her head slightly.
"Are you strong? Formidable? If you are, id like to fight you please."
The soldier fell to his knees, shaking violently.
"You....you bastard! You'll pay....gor what you've done today." he said while he was trembling
Kirihai's smile widened. Then, she laughed. It was a cold, almost psychotic laugh that echoed through the silence of the dead base. She unsheathed her sword again, her eyes gleaming with anticipation "Sounds to me that you have some fight I'm you. So? What about it? Let's go."
Just as she was about to strike, a heavy fist slammed into her side, sending her flying across the room.
"That's enough."
Levi stood between her and the soldier, his eyes sharp and filled with purpose.
He glanced at the trembling man. "Run better make a run for it now while you still have the time.". The soldier stood up and ran immediately.
Kirihai landed gracefully, brushing dust off her clothes. She looked at Levi with surprise and interest.
"You're Levi, huh? I've heard a lot about you. Are you the same guy I met at the bridge? Kenji said something about you after we came to invade."
Levi nodded. "I'm the head of the Soldier Department in the city. And yes, that was me you fought back then."
Kirihai's eyes lit up. "Heh… finally, someone strong. This is going to be fun."
High above, Mirio stood on a platform, watching with a sigh.
"Honestly, we should've just left after finishing the mission. But nope, she just has to go wild. Now ive gotta save her ass"
Kirihai turned her back to him, casually sliding her sword back into its sheath and pulling out a kunai.
"Don't be so dull, Mirio. I haven't had a proper fight in weeks."
Levi shook his head.
"Let's take this outside. I don't want to ruin what's left of this base."
In an instant, both fighters vanished from the scene, reappearing on the rooftop of a nearby skyscraper. The air around them shifted violently as they clashed at sonic speeds, the shockwaves tearing through nearby buildings.
Levi's arms morphed into machine guns, unleashing a storm of energy-infused bullets. Kirihai, laughing maniacally, danced through the barrage, slicing bullets mid-air with her kunai and moving at incredible speeds.
"She's insane..." Mirio muttered, still watching from afar.
Kirihai pulled several needles from her pouch, imbuing them with energy. She hurled them at Levi with such speed, they shimmered like rays of light. Levi narrowed his eyes, dodging with precision "She's fast!" Levi thought to himself.
Then, Levi unleashed his special technique.
"Special Technique: Infinite Chaos!"
The skies above opened up, and bullets began to rain down like a storm, glowing with powfull energy. Kirihai flipped and spun through the downpour, laughing as she narrowly avoided the blasts that were causing huge devastating explosions of energy.
Leaping into the air, she summoned two colossal energy claws and hurled them at Levi, crashing through several buildings. Levi responded by transforming his arm into a rocket launcher and firing a missile, creating a violent explosion that shook entire city blocks.
As the smoke cleared, Kirihai's silhouette emerged.
"This is getting exciting… but I think it's time we really turned things up."
She drew her sword—and the sheer energy from the act alone shattered countless skyscrapers in the distance. Levi's eyes widened.
"Just by unsheathing her sword?.." be asked himself In shock.
Even Mirio winced.
"Poor guy. I'm actually starting to feel bad for him."
With a flash, Kirihai launched at Levi, swinging her sword with devastating force. The building around them split in half due to her sword strike, Levi understanding how dangerous Kirihai was, started to dodge her strikes and attacks as fast as he could "What the hell? Her speed is too sharp!", Levi thought to himself. Kirihai delivered a powerful kick that sent Levi crashing through multiple structures.
Still airborne, Kirihai unleashed a barrage of energy slashes. Levi quickly interpreted them and dodged many as fast as he could, but one connected, sending him spiraling into the ground. As he struggled to rise, he could feel her energy rising.
"She's getting even stronger..? Jesus Christ, ive never felt more cooked than this in a while."
Kirihai dashed toward him again, but Levi's arm shifted into a mechanical weapon. With a burst of concentrated energy, he punched her mid-charge, sending her crashing through city blocks and another skyscraper. Buildings and city blocks started to come down crashing, dust and rubble were everywhere.
Kirihai emerged from the rubble unscathed, grinning.
"That kinda hit hard. One more round!"
"That's enough."A voice exclaimed.
Kenji's voice echoed as a portal opened beside Kirihai.
"Let's go. You've had your fun.", Kenji explained to her.
Kirihai sighed, disappointed.
"But I was just getting warmed up..."
Mirio raised a hand and shoved her lightly toward the portal.
"You'll get another fight soon. Go cool off. Otherwise we'll be in trouble."
With a huff, Kirihai disappeared into the portal.
Meanwhile…
In another part of the city, Sorata and Zora stood calmly as a portal opened behind them.
Kenji stepped through.
"Everyone made it out safe?" Sorata asked.
Kenji nodded. "Yes. But… Shinki failed the kidnapping mission."
Sorata let out a small sigh "Ahhh! Well, Ukina wasn't really expecting results, she just wanted us to cause some trouble. Lets go." Just as he and Zora were about to step into the portal—
BOOM!
A figure shot from the sky and smashed Zora into a wave of buildings. This attack caused Sorata and Kenji to be slightly shocked "What the hell?" They both exclaimed.
It was Kojin. Kojin landed to the ground a few feet away from them, he turned to Sorata with a serious look of anger in his eyes.
His eyes burned with rage as he stared at the battlefield.
Then, he saw Tomoa, unconscious and severely injured.
"What did you do to him?!" Kojin asked with anger in his voice.
Sorata—no, Saito—smirked in an evil manner with a slight head tilt.
"Relax. He's only sleeping. Shouldn't wake up for a few weeks."
Kojin's black destructive energy surged his body with anger and devastating chaos that was about to be unleashed.
"You're going to pay for this!" Kojin said with a firm and serious voice tone.
But then, Sorata's hair turned purple. A sinister grin grew across his face.
"Stop trying to be intimidating. You sound like a fool. You remember the name 'Saito,' don't you? 'The disgrace of a son'—your words, weren't they?"
Kojin's expression froze, his destructive energy vanished In an instant.
"Uhh? Impossible...!", Kojin exclaimed to himself.
"Only members of our family can use destructive energy like this. And if anyone else could, it wouldn't look anything like mine. And plus, we both know thag the Takahama clan is practically non existent.". Saito explained with a grin on his face and slow excitement brewing in his voice.
Kojin muttered to himself "No!! That can't be true...." he started to remember the last interaction himself and Sorata made a few months back "Saito.... ran away. And I never saw him again..."
Kenji sighed in the background. "We need to go. Now, before we get caught Sorata."
Sorata shrugged. "Fine. I'll wrap this up."
He conjured a spear made of pure purple destructive energy and hurled it at Kojin with an insane grin on his face "BUT BEFORE I GO, I WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS... DEAR OLD DAD!", Sorata exclaimed with evil excitement as he hurled his attack of destructive energy at Kojin with frightening speed, Kojin was too stunned to react. The explosion from the attck rocked the entire city. It was an attack of pure hate and resentment.
As the dust settled, Kenji and Sorata jump into the portal with Sorata having a smirk on his face "See ya later, dear old dad! Haha!" He said with a mocking voice. As the portal closed up, Kenji and Sorata appeared in the dark sign hideout.
"That was a deadly move back there Sorata. And we wasted some precious time as well. On top of that, Zora has been captured. What are we gonna do about him?" Kenji asked
Sorata smiled darkly.
"Something like this was bound to happen eventually anyone could have been captured. You, me even Shinki could have been a victim of being captured as well." As they kept walking, Sorata looked up into the ceiling "Next time we meet..... I'll obliterate Kojin he's gonna reap what he sewed."
He looked up at the ceiling, eyes glinting with malice.
