RUMBLE!
BVROOSH!
“Keep up if you can! They’re chasing alright!”
“Ms Itoha! Can’t we just swat them away?”
Leaping from tree to tree, covering ground fast as they are chased by Hachio Chōjōdō troops.
While dodging explosions that are being thrown at them.
SWOOTP!
Shimizu cuts an energy projectile in half that nearly hits her head.
“Tch, no way we can keep this up! We have to fight them at some point!” She shouts as they hurriedly traverse the forest.
“Ok, then we’ll fight them at that clif on top near the mountain side!”
Leaping and sprinting at intense speeds, they cover a great amount of distance.
Scaling the inclined mountain side, they land on a wide open path on the mountain.
Shimizu takes time to catch her breath.
“Phew, Okay. I think we should still have time befo—”
SWISTCH!
“Huh?” She is shocked as they appear to just teleport in.
“No way, they’re that fast?!”
Shashin merely smiles as she steps forward.
“Now, I didn’t think they would have a Captain out here so casually. Don’t you have other responsibilities?”
Making way for their captain, the troops step aside, as the captain walks Shimizu can feel their intense presence by them just simply walking past their troops.
“So, what do we have here? Two people attacking outposts of ours, you know those acts of violence can really get you sentenced to be locked up for a long time.”
“Heh, even death in some cases, say. I’ll let you two off with one arm being cut off, fair trade don’t you say?” They smile as their silver and green haori sway in the wind.
Shashin looks surprised.
“Oh no, I think we reject that trade. But what I am more interested in is your appearance here, Captain of the 6th Company?”
“So you know me? I’m flattered.” They say ominously as their eyes remain slightly closed.
She laughs a bit while covering her mouth.
“Well wouldn’t everybody know about the Captains? Especially you Rensasuru Rōzukabā.”
She pulls out a golden sewing needle that is decorated with flowers and such, whipping it in the air she sews imaginary thread into a staff–like weapon.
He seems amused at her stance.
He pulls out a sword blade and brings it to his waist.
“Look behind you, there might be something breaking out of the ground!”
“Shūtingu Sutchīru!”
“What?”
SWOOSH!
The blade extends with such force Shimizu couldn’t even see it coming, but Shashin blocks it with a graceful grin on her face.
Moving at intense speed, Rensasuru clashes his blade against Shashin’s Staff.
Pushing her slightly back, while maintaining his smile.
“Y’know I didn’t think you’d come back after leaving, Shashin. But I guess it makes sense for a traitor like you.” He breaks the clash as they step back.
She chuckles while keeping her demeanor.
“Ahh, actually seeing you made my day, y’know it kinda helped me relive my memories a bit. So how’s your sister been, Rōzukabā?”
SLISCSH
He attempts to slash her with his blade, but she stitches a blanket into reality as his blade effortlessly cuts through it.
She then attempts to strike him with her staff but he stops it with his bare hands.
“More parlor tricks? Usual of you!”
She swiftly kicks him into the mountain side causing a miniature land slide, the men accompanying the Captain all maneuver around the landslide heading towards Shimizu.
Shimizu nervously looks on.
“Well, I guess I wasn’t excluded from this.”
One soldier comes in swiftly with a blade aimed at her head.
SWOOP!
Moving around it she punches the soldier straight in the gut, the rest swarm her either trying to restrain or straight up kill her.
Each movement she makes is sparringly, it’s almost as if she’s not trying to fight or engage them.
“Don’t let her get any ground! Keep the pressure up!” One shouts out.
SLISCSH!
A blade narrowly misses her as she dodges while looking at another blade coming straight for her.
“Ion Denka: HANPATSU!” Sticking her arms out in different directions, a surge of small blue and purple spheres compress into her hands before repealing the soldiers away.
Some even fall off the cliff.
“Ooopps!” She looks at some soldiers falling, getting their grip on trees or even the side of the cliff.
CHINGK!
“Huh?!” The blade is stopped as her hand reaches out for it with hot plasma surrounding it.
“Sorry, I can’t let anyone scar my beautiful body. Especially my face.” She smiles before repealing the man into the cliff walls as he crashes into it.
SULUNGK!
A rectangular object lands near Shimizu.
Through the commotion she spots Shashin fighting the Captain across the cliff walls.
Each clash they make causes parts of the cliff wall to explode, causing the land slides.
“DEAR! That is the veil! Take it and use it!” She shouts out as Rensasuru slashes at her shoulder.
“Why did you think taking my veil was going to help her?! Come on, don’t let your guard down.”
He ominously stares at her as she falls from the cliff wall.
“Oh my, this won’t do!” She stitches up the wound on her shoulder and attaches a string onto the Captain’s neck pulling him closer to her.
“You intend to get closer? How romantic.” He tries cutting the string, but already being in free fall causes them to fall into the forest below.
SWOOSH!
Clashing and repelling the troops, she tries to find where Shashin and that Captain went.
Having the veil in her hand, she wonders if it’s the right choice to use it and get out.
“I can’t leave her by herself?” She runs through the cliff side as it begins to collapse.
“Is that really okay? She said I should use it, aw man.”
“Ionka–”
RUMBLE!
Rocks start to fall and crash into her direction, she leaps off the rocks one by one as some of the soldiers get caught in the landslide.
“Denka: KASOKU!” Her body accelerations as she leaps off the cliff, she tries to use the veil but has no idea how it works.
Pouring her Tamaryoku into the veil, she attempts to see if that opens it.
“Come on! Come on!” She tries everything she can to open the veil.
SLISCH!
“What the hell?!” A blade knocks the veil out of her hand, looking at where it came from, she sees the extraordinarily long blade coming from the forest far below.
She can see a glint of something down there.
“It’s that Captain! Oh no, I gotta reach the veil and use it.” She panics as she tries to grab it.
“Come on!” She tries to reach it, but she is shocked that she is only a few moments away from the ground.
“Shit!” She branches herself, as she travels at high speeds towards the grassy meadow.
“This is gonna hurt.” She reinforces herself with Tamaryoku.
