10 The Cavalier vs the Hunter

Bodhisena, Jetwarrior, Mohammed and Kalki, all four now found themselves standing in West Sweden.

Both Bodhisena and Mohammed broke the rest of their gemstones, but the battle did not start just yet.

Kalki told Shuka to keep Mohammed company, while Jetwarrior summoned forth Howling Celestial Dog, to keep Bodhisena company.

Both Maestros now took cover, as the battle between the hunter and the cavalier began.

While riding on Devdutt, Kalki was shooting flaming arrows at Jetwarrior, but without moving from his spot, the cavalier was able to reduce each flaming sword to mere atoms.

Kalki shot one more shot, but that was when Jetwarrior sliced Devdutt down to mere atoms.

" No… " uttered Mohammed, as he looked on with horror, but Kalki was not disheartened at the loss of his steed.

The hunter calmly sat in a lotus position, while Jetwarrior curiously looked on.

Kalki now made his hands into the Namaskara Mudra, as he floated into the sky.

The 10th avatar of Vishnu now uttered;

" Come forth, infinity "

Everyone looked on, as from the heavens themselves, came forth, Ananta.

Kalki could sense that Jetwarrior had an excited look on his face, from behind his mask.

" You can not slice all of infinity, " said Kalki, from atop Ananta.

" Watch me " said Jetwarrior, as he was about to slice all of infinity.

The uncounterable colossal heads of Ananta now all rushed towards Jetwarrior, as the sound of his sword reentering its sheath could be heard, which made a good portion of Ananta's serpent heads disappear into atoms, but Jetwarrior was up against infinity itself, which proved to be a difficult fight, even for him.

He sliced, and sliced, and sliced, but the heads just kept on coming, and he was getting more and more overwhelmed, till one of the heads were able to pin him down to the ground.

Bodhisena looked on in horror and despair, as Jetwarrior's mechanical body was broken and beaten.

Bodhisena took a deep breath, and then yelled, at the top of his lungs;

" Mikinosuke-Sama! "

Jetwarrior felt a fire in his chest, as both his eyes, and his core glowed.

He was able to slice the head away, and then he got into position.

Jetwarrior had now entered the five steps.

" First step, Earth " he then put his middle finger on the hilt of his sword.

" Second step, Water " he then put his index finger on the hilt.

" Third step, Fire " he then put his thumb on the hilt.

" Fourth step, Wind " he then put his ring finger on the hilt.

" Fifth step, Style " he then put his pinky on the hilt, he now fully grabbed the hilt of his sword, Jetwarrior then said;

" And now, enter, the 無効 "

In the breath of a second, all of Ananta's heads were gone, reduced to mere atoms, but Jetwarrior was not able to slice Kalki's head off, for Kalki was holding Jetwarrior's blade, which was near his throat, in a Index Finger Mudra lock.

Kalki now grabbed Jetwarrior by the throat.

Jetwarrior looked on in horror, as the heads of Ananta returned.

" A valiant effort, but I am afraid that this is the end " said Kalki.

" Yeah… I could not have said it better myself " said Jetwarrior with a bloody smile.

Kalki now saw how the jingasa that had covered Jetwarrior's chest, fell, revealing to Kalki's horror that Jetwarrior had stabbed his Eye of Shiva, with his Honda Blade, making it so that the core was about to explode, causing a universe-ending explosion.

Kalki quickly covered himself and Jetwarrior with Ananta's whole body, in an attempt to contain the explosion.

Jetwarrior and Bodhisena locked eyes.

" Arigatō... Bodhisena-Bō… " uttered Jetwarrior with a smile.

Kalki made a Namaste gesture to Mohammed.

Ananta's body was able to contain the explosion, ensuring the safety of the universe, and of the two Maestros.

But the Cavalier and the Hunter had now both been defeated.

But oddly enough, for some strange reason, Shuka and the Howling Celestial Dog still remained.

Both former Maestros were now looking at one another.

Both Mohammed and Bodhisena smiled, as they did the wai gesture.
