27.) Dual Siblings Rise!!!

Joe: "It's time we make our comeback."

Sonya: "Y-yeah. Let's hop to it then, brother."

Joe: "Right, well lets take them by storm and actually do some combo attacks. Allowing them to keep us split up isn't going to help us."

Sonya: "Right. Well, you have more essence leftover than I do. Start the assault and I'll follow up. Cool?"

Joe: "Yeah. Kaguro first, Kimichi seems to be stronger out of the two."

Sonya: "Right!"

Joe: "Hmmm…." *PEW*

Sonya: "Ah." *PEW*

Sonya and Joe go blasting off at their highest speeds and instantly close in on Kaguro. Kaguro readies himself only to find the essence he had built up being sapped away at heavy rates.

Kaguro: "Well, would you look at that. You fuckin yanks got some gri-."

*SMACK* Kaguro gets sent flying off of the planet and into deep space. 

Kaguro: "Fucking yank had the nerve to kick mee!?!... I'm gonna kill 'er." 

Kimichi: *Long Whistle* "Daamnnn. Y'all knocked my brother out of what used to be this solar system in less than 5 seconds. That's quite the kick girly. You think your brother got enough of my essence yet?"

Sonya: "Ngh!?"

Joe: (Damn… she was letting me sap her essence on purpose.) "Tch!"

Kimichi: "Don't worry. I won't go too hard on ya."

Joe: "Hmmph." *FWIP*

Joe dashes at Kimichi in an attempt to find a weakness before Kaguro can return. Sonya dashes in to assist.

Kimichi: "Hmmph! You two have gotten a bit better since the start of this battle. Respect to your growth, but it's not gonna help you here."

Sonya: "What makes you so confident!?"

Kimichi: "Well first, haven't you noticed Kaguro has yet to come back. We all know he's fast enough. Yet he's not here."

Joe: "A-Are y'all seriously saying you can crush us all on your own!?"

Kimichi: "But of course."

Sonya: "Tch! You bastards are overconfident in your ability. We'll show you what it means to underestimate a Construction Clan member!"

Joe: "Right Sonya! Lets show this woman she'll need help winning this and even then… *FWIP* THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!!!

Kimichi: "Hmmph! We'll see." *FWIP* *TIIIINNG*

Sonya: "Can't let you go around hitting my brother with that sword of yours. It shaves away Divine Essence doesn't it?"

Kimichi: "Oooooh? Smart girl, you really do know quite a bit about my blades and their secrets eh? *GRIP* HA!"

Sonya: "Ngh!?" 

Sonya is pushed back by Kimichi, who follows up with a backwards swing at Joe. He had tried getting behind her during their rush, but failed. Kimichi gets the two away from her immediately with a massive ground wave from her sword. 

Joe: "Tch… Sonya, JUMP!"

Sonya: "Grr! Right!" *LEAP*

Kimichi: "Ha, perfect! Attack Type, WAVE: Cosmic Ray's…

Joe: "What!?"

Sonya: "Damn! (She got us!)"

Kimichi: "CELESTIAL DESCENT!!!"

A masive black wave with a pink hue came crashing down from above the Construction siblings. Both were stuck in awe at the immediate powerful attack coming their way, but that didn't last long as Joe aimed his siphoning gun towards the blast. Sonya readied her sharing ability for a team combo. 

Joe: "I'll absorb the blast, and you continuously take half of what I'm absorbing so the gun isn't overloaded."

Sonya: "Got it! Let's get it done and beat that bitch down!"

Joe: "Hmmph!"

Kimichi: "Will they be able to do it?"

Joe's gun meets head on with the gigantic wave. Absorbing it as it descends onto the planet. Sonya begins forcing a shared energy and saps the extra energy seeping out. Within a matter of 10 seconds. The blast was completely absorbed and used as fuel to push the siblings further. 

Kimichi: "Ha. Seems they were actually capable of stopping that. With that extra energy they just received. They might be able to withstand what comes next."

Sonya: "Mmmmhm!!! She really irritates me for some reason, brother."

Joe: "Let it go, sis. The only thing we need to focus on is winning this damn battle. She won't last much longer feeding us energy like this."

Sonya: "You think so, huh? Hmmm…"

Kimichi: "Hmmph." *Grin*

Sonya: "Ngh!?! Damn, ANOTHER ATTACK IS COMING."

Kimichi: "Attack Type, BLADE/BARRAGE: Calamity RAIN!!!"

Joe: "What!? *GLARE* They're coming in bulk… a massive shit ton of swords and bladed weapons."

Sonya: "Hmmph! I can take this one alone. Sword Paradise: Dual S Sword! HAAAAAAA!" *Swish* *TING* *TING* *TING* *CLASH* *TING* *TING* *TING* *TING*

Kimichi: "Whaaat? She can do it alone huh? Swords really are her strong suit. Bad choice, but then again… I wonder if the brother can block a mass barrage on gun glows. Let's try it out then, Attack Type, GUNSLINGER/BARRAGE: Guns A-O'PALOOZA!"

Joe: "Hmm!? Seems she summoned a mass amount of guns to blast me from all directions… (is she. Is she trying to test whether or not we're masters of our chosen power?) She's ballsy indeed."

Joe immediately brings out a dual version of his Siphoning Blaster. Then proceeds to absorb and release the energy shots fired by the countless guns surrounding him. While he's busy… Sonya begins to struggle in holding off Kimichi's massive barrage of bladed weapons. 

Kaguro: "Ha! Ha!... Haahahahahahaaa! They're going to start to learn the true nature of what it is, my sister studies. She's a literal attack… nothing else to be said about it. I wonder… if they've realized the true hint to why they can't simply shatter her weak attacks. She's purposely throwing those yank ass attacks. They're hopeless if they lose to this. Hahahahahaaa! But all gods are, so I expect it!

Kaguro remains in his position above the planet, but at a safe distance. Just in case his sister decides the planet needs to be destroyed. He also wants to make sure she doesn't somehow begin to lose ground to them. 

Sonya: "Damn. I'm beginning to get pushed back by this barrage. I didn't account for how many she actually summoned." 

Kimichi: "Hmph! Their control is weak. How can they not counter such a simple technique. I should just finish them here and… *Grip* now- huh?"

Sonya: "Dual Constructor Mode! (With this. I can easily blow these bladed tools…) APAAAAART!"

A massive wave of kinetic constructor energy collided with every bladed weapon left from Kimichi's technique… and deconstructed them. 

Kimichi: "Well I'll be…"

Kaguro: "Damn. And it even looks like Joe joined the party and broke the guns to pieces as well. Seems they can do much more."

Kimichi: "Hmm. They… aren't done yet it seems. Their essence is wrapped tightly around the separate pieces."

Both: "Reconstruct:..."

Joe: "GUNSLINGER BARRAGE"

Sonya: "BLADED BARRAGE!"

Kimichi: "Tch! What rubbish. Attack Type, SHATTER: Instant Break!"

The grand attacks sent back at Kimichi were completely destroyed within a blink of an eye. Sonya quickly gets behind Kimichi and releases two greatswords three times bigger than herself!

Note: Sonya is 5'10 and weighs 150 lbs even.

Sonya: "Take THIIIIS!" *SMAAASH* Heh! That oughta give her a few heinous wounds."

Kimichi: "Great power. But my Slayer's Saber isn't that weak. You oughta stop underestimating me. I was born a Non-Mortal to begin with, and I ascended in my first 20 years… of LIVING!"

Joe: "Hmph! *BEAM CHARGE* (I'll get her while Sonya has her pinned and distracted.)"

Kimichi: "I'll crush you bitch- Huh!? The hell!?"

Joe: "Hmm! (Too late!) Construct: Grand Plasma BEAAAM!!"

Kimichi: "Damn! (He's aiming to destroy the planet!?)"

Sonya: "Hup! *Fwip*

Kimichi: *GRIP* "Where-"

Sonya: "Shit!"

Kimichi: "Do you think you're going? Have a taste of your brother's blast for me. HAAAA! *WOOSH* *TOSS*

Sonya: "Daaaaamn! (I'll have to cut the blast in half and steer the halves straight at Kimichi.)"

Joe: (Is she going to….?)

Sonya: "HOOOOOOOO!!!" 

Sonya uses her greatswords as one dense heavy Greatsword and cuts the blast in half. With her two greatswords, she spreads them apart and redirects the two halves of the split blast straight for kimichi. 

Kimichi: "Well that's pretty damn surprising to say the least. Attack Type, Counter: Mirror Reflect!!!"

The blasts were immediately sent back at Sonya with twice the power, speed and force behind it. 

Sonya: "Son of a… BIIIITCH!!!" *Swish* *PW'TIIING*

Joe: "Looks like I might have to try that new technique I developed. Though its risky with Kaguro still up there. Nevertheless, I'll use it to gain the advantage we need… Sonya!!? Send the severed blasts my waaaaay!!!"

Sonya: "What!? Why would I- Hm! (He's actually going to use that?) Grrr… FINE coming your way!!"

Joe: (Perfect!)

Kimichi: "Damn she cut the counter. And now it seems another bullshit trick is coming at me next."

Joe siphons the four augmented plasma blasts sent by Sonya. Then powers up with more than three times what they had upon entering the barrel. Then sent out in dual gigantic bursts. 

Joe: "Lets see her counter this!"

Sonya: (Those blasts beyond the speed of light. There's no way to counter from that range. I doubt she noticed he closed the distance a bit.)

Kimichi: *Sigh* "I guess I've gotta show them… my true strength. Attack Type, ALPHA: Omega Suit!"

Joe: "She's… equipping a suit!?"

Sonya: "Damn, She's reinforcing herself- WHAT!?"

Joe: "Tch!"

Two suits instantly wrap around Sonya and Joe. The second they enclosed around the two, then sapped more than half their energy as they struggled to break free. Once sapped. The suits detonated using their sapped energy and a chunk of Kimichi's own energy. The explosions were great enough to blow the planet asunder, but were too high up to commit the act. The two were thrown back into base mode as they fell back down to the ground. 

Kimichi: "You two are good. You adapt a little quickly though…"

Joe: "U-uuuh. D-damn. Iiiit."

Sonya: (She completely caught us with that one. That was just too much power. But… we cant lose!) "B-brootheeer! S-S-Stand back up with me. W-We can… *COUGH* *COUGH* Still gooooo!"

Joe: "D-Damn… Alright…. haaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Kimichi: "So, you guys can still push forward, huh?"

Sonya: "Yeah. *HUFF* *HUFF* Seems my brother sapped enough energy from the remaining planets as well as you and… Kaaguro."

Joe: "Indeed, now my wounds are healed, and my power has spiked… oh sorry. I meant that for both of us."

Kimichi: "Hmm. You guys truly are annoying. *PEW*

Joe: "Hmm?! *SMASH* GHAAACK!!!"

Sonya: "JOE! *PEW* *PRCH* Back off you wench!"

Kimichi: "That was a good blitz strike. My left cheek actually hurts a bit."

Joe: "Tch! *Cough* Sonya, let's go. She won't be getting any more stomach blows around here."

Sonya: "Right! "HAAAAA! CHA! CHA! CHA! CHA! CHA!"

Five mighty quick blows were thrown by Sonya. Kimichi blocked them all in succession and then proceeded to kick Sonya back towards Joe with a right heel kick.

Sonya: "Gaaaah!"

Joe: *CATCH* "I got you, sis. She's more skilled than us. The power difference has been getting smaller and smaller. But her skill to adapt is just as high as ours. Plus, she already started out more skilled, so we're unable to close the gap there. We'll have to access the new forms we learned during training if we hope to win."

Sonya: "They're not mastered, brother!"

Joe: "Doesn't matter. We can't lose here, and we're already losing ground to a battle against just one. Two would be the end of us, and we must take that risk to prevail SISTEEEER."

Sonya: "Damn. Alright! Let's try and see if we can pull them off in order to push forward. Seems we might die if we don't."

Joe: "Indeed."

Kimichi: "For two smart divine beings, I would expect you to give up once you figured out the difference. But it would seem you have something that brings hope. Show it to me!"

Sonya: "Tch! (Lousy wench!) Brother!"

Joe: "Right!

Both: "I call forth the boundless potential of creation through constructing. I command thee to shield my body and also become my spear. Transcend the confines and… CONSTRUCT ME!!!"

Kaguro: "Huh? Their power scale levels are spiking at an extreme rate. What in the world is going on. Sorry, Kimichi, but that's too huge a spike. I'm gonna end them here. Color Pallet Festival, RED: Magma Mayhem!!!

(I'll destroy them in an INSTANT!!!)

Just upon obtaining new found power from forms that aren't yet mastered. Kaguro decides to end it all before it goes too far. The siblings put it all on the line! Only a few hours remain until death is revived!!!
