28.) REMATCH!!!

Within solar system 9, one of its last standing planets had just been destroyed. Venomin 9 had fallen to a great blast sent down by Kaguro in an attempt to destroy Sonya and Joe before they could awaken ANY potential from the forms they had accomplished and entered. The blast seemed to not be able to faze Kimichi one bit. 

Kimichi: "To believe that brother of mine would do a "go ahead' attack and destroy the planet. Those forms were that dangerous, huh? They were just standard clan forms."

Kaguro: "You must be aggitated with my decision. But trust me, it was just. Their forms have more than just the remnants of one clan."

Kimichi: "Hmm!? What do you mean!?"

Kaguro: "I'm not too sure but… the construction incantation would result in the Construction Clan's clan form showing up. But for some reason, I can sense another essence within the form. I just don't know which clan it could be."

Kimichi: "Well, it wouldn't matter anyways. They're dead now, Kagy."

Joe: "As if you clowns!"

Kimichi: "Tch! Your power's been lacking nowadays, Kagy. Such a huge flame burst just to have the gnats return. Hilarious."

Kaguro: "Grrrr! Damn annoying, irritable yanks. I'll have 'em begging soom enough. Let's finish these garbage, good for nothing, yank-ish excuses for gods. ANTI Form! Take shape!"

Kimichi: "Hmph! I suppose we don't need to hold back when this ominous essence is oozing from them. I care not to find out what the essence may be. ANTI Form! Dance!"

Sonya: "Hmm. I hate to admit it, brother, but i won't be able to keep this form up for anything more than 10 minutes."

Joe: "Hmm! I'd say 11 for me. That just means we'll have to finish this quickly. Dont waste any movements and analyze them and their approach as carefully as possible!"

Sonya: "Ok, brother!"

Kimichi: "Let's go then, Kaguro."

Kaguro: "Yes, sister." *FWIP*

Joe: "Hmm! *GLARE* (There!)"

Joe intercepts Kaguro as he heads straight for Sonya. "I won't let you!!!"yells Joe as he rushes in and blocks Kaguro's sword head on.

Kaguro: "Tch! You fuckin' yank ass hoe."

Sonya: "Good. (Seems Joe can handle him alone. I'll go for Kimichi then!)" *PEW*

Kimichi: "Ah, the unskilled wench seems to be itching for another lesson in sword technique."

Sonya: "Not, on your life Kimichi! I'll show you the extent of what I've gained in this fight!"

Kimichi: "Right. Lets see your grit then girly."

Sonya and Kimichi Clash swords! Dodging and crossing blades as they try and gauge the new extent of strength found in their forms. Joe and Kaguro were doing the same thing. 

Sonya: "Hmm. It seems a slight difference in skill is still present. (Little by little, she's slightly cutting and getting hits in. Seems her eye for noticing openings has only widened since upping her stats.)"

Kimichi: (It's a lot harder to get clear openings here. Even harder to force them.) Seems these forms are greater than what I had initially anticipated."

Sonya: "There's more to it than just our stats being boosted. I'll show you my full extent currently!!!"

Kimichi: "I look forward to it!" *SWISH* *FWHOO*

Sonya: "Ngh!"

Kimichi: (As I thought, she's improving at a high rate all of a sudden. That's not a construction clan trait.) "I'm starting to understand your form."

Kaguro: "Thought i was going mad here. Moves that were landing just moments ago have begun to miss and even be countered at the most precise moments."

Joe: (You bastards won't figure it out in time. Only 2 minutes have gone by since we've entered these forms. And we've already begam to break down and peirce through their fighting formations. We've got this!)

Kaguro: "Damn! Seems it won't be that easy without the power of our Anti essence particles. Sister? Shall we turn up the ante!?"

Kimichi: "Hahaaa! Of course. Let's test just how potent their adapting is. (If they can adapt to this then I'll know what other clan it is that's present in their forms.)"

Joe: "Sonya… get ready. They're serious now. We make a mistake and fail to finish this with the six and a half minutes left. We'll die."

Sonya: "Alright. We'll succeed and end this before that can happen. Time to construct the (S)Tar Blazing Sword!"

As their battle began to blaze asunder, Sanjin and Bujuro were struggling to even get a slight hand in their rematch with Angelos and Diablos. Their legendary god slaying weapons were shattered in their clash with the Legendary Gahwardian blades. 

Sanjin: *HUFF* *Huff* *huff* "Hmmph! HAAAAA!!" *PEEEEWWW*

Angelos: "You still have the nerve to charge in head on even after knowing I've adapted to it all. You disappoint me boy. Holy Attribute: Vanish Star!"

Sanjin: "Huh!?... Everything's gone blank. I can't… My senses have all been locked. What's… happening here!?...

Angelos: (You're within my Vanish realm. For the next ten seconds, you'll be attacked by the might of stars overdosed on holy essence. Fall within the "Vanish" of my realms black holes. Fall!)

DAMN! *BOOOOOOOM* AAAAAUGH!!!"

Sanjin was hit with more than five collapsing stars juiced on his own holy essence. At the speeds that it happened, it almost seemed simultaneous.

Angelos: "Hopefully, this has helped you better learn how to approach me now."

Sanjin: "A-Ah….aaah. *GHACK* D-Damn! I was caught up in my own ego. To believe I was stupid enough to rush im head on at this point."

Bujuro: "Gaaaaaaaah! *CRASH* D-Dammit. I can't gain any kind of… high ground. He's… a-adapting too quickly."

Sanjin: "Seems we're having the same luck in our battles. Hehehahahaaa. We've… got to go ahead and do what Amiyama taught us. We can invoke our genetic forms afterward."

Bujuro: "Yeah. If we don't… they might end up killing us."

Diablos: *Fwip* "This fight has fallen in intensity quite fast. They've lost and grounds they had early on. Now, we've just spent most of this fight adapting to anything new they can muster."

Angelos: "Those slayer weapons were something, though. They were heavily imbued with the Anti-God essence that was actually replicating and replenishing themselves. Adapting to those was worth the risk."

Diablos: "You're quite right about that. I'm going to go ahead and end this. They've nothing else to offer in regard to combat." 

Angelos: "Such a shame, man. Go ahead."

Diablos: "Hmmph Malice Attribute: Evil Incarnate RAIN!"

Sanjin: "Hmm. We unite our energy soul and body as one total whole. We exceed the confines of separation and combine to conquer."

Bujuro: "We go beyond our separate limits and ascend to a new realm."

Both: "We show our might and shine through… Divine UNITY!" *BOOOOM*

Right as Diablos' massive, planet sized cloud of darkness met with the assassin brothers. A bright light broke through, and a new signal of essence was being emitted. The brothers had become one and ascended beyond what either Angelos nor Diablos could hope to muster currently. Say hello to…

???: "Sanjuro. Ha… from what i can sense. You bastards have nothing left to offer in terms of defeating me now that I've been summoned. Ah, does it feel good to be… FREEEEEEE!!!" *FFFFWOOOOOSH* *PEEEEEEWW*  

A heavy gust of wind was summoned from the force of Sanjuro's yell. The gust was strong enough to send both Angelos and Diablos flying back miles into the vacuum of space. 

Angelos: "Ngh!... Gaaah!"

Diablos: "D-Dammiiit! Duuaaagh!"

Sanjuro: "Gahahahaaaaa!!!" Let's test my newfound Poweeerr!" *FWITOOOM*

Angelos: "N-Ngh!... Huh!?"

Sanjuro: "S'up bitch!"

Angelos: "HOLY FLAAAARE!!!"

*Fwip* *TOOOOOOOOOHHHF*

Sanjuro: "That was quite impressive bro!"

Angelos: "Huh!?"

Diablos: "Angeloooos!!! (Damn! This awakening of power just from uniting. This is insane! I've gotta go back 'em up!)" *PEW*

*PRCH* *PSH* *PRSCH* *PISH* *PRCH* *PCH* *PRSH* *PFT* *PCH* *PRCH* *PFT* *PSH* *PRCH*

Angelos: "Gah! Ugh! Oof! GAAH! Ngh! GAGH! OOF! Ugh!"

Sanjuro: "Hehehehahahaaa! You seem to be losing ground bro. Need a breather!?"

Diablos: "Naw… he's just good at acting."

Sanjuro: "WHAT!?-

Diablos: "Haaaaa! Black Splitter!"

Angelos: "White Splitter!"

Angelos and Diablos fire thin wire-like essence blasts at Sanjuro. They form a net as they make contact with him and then repeatedly breakdown and reform as they strike Sanjuro more than a hundred times every second!

Sanjuro: "Gaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

Angelos: "Doesn't matter what you bastards do!"

Diablos: "We'll surpass everything you throw at us!"

Sanjuro: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!"

Diablos: "Angelos. Lets add in the Quazaar, Blackhole effect."

Angelos: "Right."

Sanjuro: "So… what's that you're gonna add onto this weakass attack?"

Angelos: "Huh!?"

Diablos: "Tch!"

Sanjuro: "Seems I'll have to actually show you the difference."

Kimichi: "Hmm. They've actually adapted to something that combats their natural genetic make-up."

Kaguro: "Seems so…. Have you figured out what other clan may be in their forms?"

Joe: "Hmph!" *Grin*

Sonya: *Huff* *huff* "Ha!" *Grin*

Kimichi: "Hm. *Glare* Yeah, yeah I do."

Kaguro: "What is it?" 

Kimichi: "They seem to be half

Construction Clan rep and half… Gahwardian Clan rep. That's why they adapt at freakish levels and can construct weapons to combat their natural weakness."

Kaguro: "Ooh!? That's… that's scary sister. Constructing weapons of high caliber with the adapted knowledge added to it to further get a leg up in battle. We've better end this fast."

Kimichi: "Yeah. I don't like gambling with gods that grow in battle."

Kaguro: "Me neither." *FWIP*

Joe: "Here they come sis!"

Sonya: "Right! Huh, hup! *Fwip* *TIINNG* 

Kimichi: "I'll crush you here Sonya!"

Sonya: "We'll see, young lady!"

Joe: *Fwip* *Fwoosh* *Thud* *PRCH* *PSH* "You're quite the combatant Kaguro. You know how to mix it up heavily. *PRCH* *FWOOSH* I've gotta adapt to every other combo you throw out." *Swish* *PRCH*

Kaguro: "Gah! (Bastard's adapting even faster than before!)"

Joe: "Construct, GUNNAH Type: Anti Explodah!" 

Kaguro: "Ha! Color Pallet Festival, BLACK: Anti-Color, Blue Spectrum

Joe: "What!? That's the color of my blast!"

Joe's blast was completely blown apart by the anti-type blast thrown out by Kaguro. Not even a struggle to be offered. 

Kaguro: "Tch! I don't have the openings i had earlier on."

Joe: "Hmph! (He's somehow getting ever so slightly bettah. He's been blessed with a God's natural ability to adapt.)"

With only 4 minutes left before Sonya's form is to run out. The siblings up the ante even higher on both sides. Whilst that was going down, Angelos and Diablos were being steadily pushed back and beaten by the might of Sanjuro. 

Sanjuro: "Like I said before. You two don't have anywhere near the strength to defeat me now. I'm at a good 14 now on the power scale. You guys are still just 12's. With my skill level and that little gap in power. You guys don't stand a chance."

Angelos:  "Damn! *HUFF* *HUFF* He's tougher than I thought."

Diablos: "Yeah. Its against my pride, but… we should really call out Di'Angelos before he kills us."

Angelos: "Alright. In half we shine as bright as a star that illuminates the empty cosmos."

Diablos: "In half we bellow in a darkness more potent than the nothingness this cosmos has to offer."

Both: "We fuse the two to conquer and balance the sides in our grand gray world. Flourish and burst GRAY RAY FUSION!!!"

Sanjuro: "The fuck!? Did they just… fuse!?"

Di'Angelos: "Yeah. They did fuse and I've returned to this realm as a result. I'm the balance between light and dark. You'll fall and become gray before my might."

Sanjuro: "This power!? What the hell… its too damn great for those two halves to have made!!!"

Di'Angelos: "Why? *FWIP* *PRCH*

Sanjuro: "Damn! You son of a-"

Di'Angelos: "You seem to think your power was too much for them at their current states. Truth he told… they don't like to gamble. But in this situation. They could've won without me. This is overkill. Especially since they risked bringing "him" back. If that had happened…"

Sanjuro: "What… THE FUCK are you on about you piece of shit!?!"

Di'Angelos: "Ah, it was nothing honestly. This won't last long. I plan to finish before Joe and Sonya's forms run out."

Sanjuro: "Joe… and Sonya?... Who… the FUCK are they!?"

Di'Angelos: *FWIP* "Doesn't matter. You'll be purified and put into a neutral zone within the next three minutes."

Sanjuro: "Bitch?!! As if!"

Di'Angelos: "Ok.. Watch this." *PSH* *PRCH* 

Sanjuro: "DOOOH!"

Sanjuro was sent flying by a quick two blows from the newly reformed Di'Angelos. He was sent straight through Mercidius 9, smashing it into pieces. Eliminating the last standing planet in Solar System 9.

Sanjuro: "Gaaaaah!"

Di'Angelos: "Like I said… three minutes or less lil guy."

Haydes: "Huh!? This much power from just the natural fusion of those two!? It rivals my own with ease… that's insane."

Amiyama: "Of course Haydes. It shows you just how close "he" is to returning to the living plain. You can't stop what it is I came to do Haydes."

Haydes: "Tch! No matter. I'll use this battle as a way to surpass whatever level "he" could be at when he returns. You'll bring him back only to die by my hand."

Aiyama: "Heh. I highly doubt that Haydes. He's a being that adapts far better than even the highest of Gahwardians. You'll see soon enough Haydes. First we've got to stop you here. Amiyama! Phoenix forms now!"

Amiyama: "Yeah. Let's cut all the bullshit. No incantation. We've got no time for it! Phoenix Ascension: Blaze!!!"

Aiyama: "Right! Phoenix Ascension: Dazzle!!!"

Haydes: "Seems they're joining us in using their forms relative to their home civilization." 

HellBlazer: "Yeah. We've got to be careful here, Amiyama's attention is solely focused on the battlefield where Di'Angelos stands. If she gets there…."

Haydes: "It's all over." 

It would seem as though all remaining battlefields have finally entered their final phase. Nothing left to hide, everything is on the line… and the goal of the forces Amiyama brought with her is well at hand. 

Miamori: "We'll end this in the next few exchanges Tailee!"

Tailee: "You had better bet your life on it. Let's see who wins the bet here!"

And back on the front where Joe and Sonya draw out the last 2 minutes for their forms.

Joe: (It would seem time is almost up.) "Sonya! It's time we open the burst sequence and construct the final weapons!"

Sonya: "Right! Let's get this done and over with. HAAAAAAAA!!!"

Kaguro: "Tch! Guess we'll have to use our Anti burst."

Kimichi: "Seems so. She's been countering me at an alarming rate and I've had enough of the bullshit!"

Kaguro: "Let's go full on then."

And we'll make our way back to the front where Di'Angelos and Sanjuro do battle. They're both preparing to go full power and try their best to beat the other. Though it would seem the clear difference in skill and power is beyond what Sanjuro would have EVER expected. 

Di'Angelos: "You seem to be quite the stubborn one. Actually using your genetic form to get an edge in this battle. HA! You make me laugh Sanjuro. I'll show you just how far we are in leagues of power and skill with just this. One… *fewSHWIP* Scythe!"

The remaining battles between the forces of Haydes and Amiyama enter their final moments as everyone invokes their home civilization forms. With STRIFE heading for the battle scene where Death shall return. The war intensifies. Death's revival is only an hour away!!!
