<p>Everyone screams and cheers as the whistle blows. As the sun shines through the green field, the wind blowing across my face, and the sweat dripping and flowing down to the floor from the sheer inner heat in my body, I say my moves in my head. - Speed lV - It connects with the S.O.U.L device as they are my moves to choose from. Moves Aura has I need to say them. As soon as the whistle blew, time slowed down as I run with my daggers straight towards Yuuzuko, jumping in the air and letting gravity take care of the rest as I fall with my daggers towards his back, "Game's in the bag, man. Well played."<br/> "You really think that?" Yuuzuko grins as my blades touch his sword, deflecting the attack. His eyes are that of a serial killer. The strongest eye contact I've ever seen like he's hell bent on trying to demolish me. He's going all out in this battle, he almost never does. His voice so harsh, strengthening, like his attack, "Dual Strike."<br/><br/> All I could feel was the two swords striking me straight in the gut, throwing me straight towards the ceiling. I crash back first to the concrete blocks hearing his voice as he yells loudly across the stadium, "I think it's I who have this game in the bag, Commoner!" He yells, loud and boisterous; laughing, "You can't escape a hit like tha-"<br/> My daggers are inches away from striking him down, my eyes staring down his. He's dead. I want to drive these daggers through his brain, "You thought you won?" I chuckle, "I'm not that easy to kill. I'm an Assassin class, Yuuzuko." I send him flying straight towards the cement wall destroying the bathrooms with it setting his clothes on fire. My daggers on fire as I twirl them with my fingers going in running position again.<br/> One of Yuuzuko's swords is severely damage as he blocked at the nick of time. Tsk. Almost had him.<br/> "How did you survive that!" Yuuzuko yells, shoving his second sword towards the ground harshly, "You were supposed to be knocked out!" He stands as Reaper gains more smoke, "You ready yet, Reaper?"<br/> "Yes, Yuuzuko." His voice echoes through the coliseum, "Tell me when." He stands behind Yuuzuko.<br/> "I used Flare as soon you were about ta' strike, dummy." Aura raises her hand playing with a flame she summoned, "Ya' honestly thought he was gonna take that?"<br/> "Flare?" Yuuzuko sighs and laughs, "What kind of ridiculous trash is that move?" He walks towards me swinging his swords around, playing with them with my death set in his eyes. Not like I want to kill him too.<br/> Aura enters from the sidelines and touches my shoulders, "Should I tell this dummy how Flare works?" She looks at him for a bit and then to me, "He looks a little stupid for such a rich guy with his rich sense of vocabulary."<br/><br/> "Of course! Actually, tell it loud and clear to everyone!" My arms twitch and legs shake full of energy; an uplift to the side of my lips arise also. They won't be able to stop me with this move. Ha!<br/> "Okay dummies!" She yells; then stares bullets at Yuuzuko, "Especially you, stupid." She points at a medium sized ball right beside Yuuzuko where he stands, "That little fireball there gives my Kazuto here invincibility for twenty seconds unless the opponent, or any of ya' who are battling Kazuto, can strike it!"<br/> "Blasphemy!" Yuuzuko screams staring down to the ground hanging his head on his swords, "Reaper, strike it down. Now!" Yuuzuko orders.<br/> "Of course." He says as he swings at the little fire with his scythe.<br/> "Enough invincibility and all hell that forms it." Yuuzuko mumbles as he raises his swords high up in the air, "It's my turn to show a real graceful move!" He strikes the ground with both of his swords as a shadow moves on the ground and speeds quickly towards me.<br/> <br/> I jump quickly into the air. Don't want that paralyzing effect on me. A silence follows as dust forms over Yuuzuko. This isn't good. Whenever he's silent is when he—"Kazuki, watch out!" Aura yells as I see a chained hook wrap around me; dropping me down to the ground.<br/> "Garden of Bones!" Yuuzuko yells. Damn! I fell right into his trap, I tsk. Skeleton bones pop from the ground grabbing my legs as if it were quicksand trying to eat me, to suck me in for its dinner. I need to get out of here, but Flare is almost done with its sixty second cooldown, "Let's strike you again, but this time you're really going to feel the pain of defeat, Kazuto."<br/> A silhouette forms behind the dust and dirt flying through the air. Moving rapidly towards me. A scythe swings at me, "Aura! Flare!" I yell as if my heart is hopeless, but my mind isn't. She throws a little fireball right behind me, but it quickly disappears, "No. What!" I yell; scrambling to get out of bone arms keeping me tied down as another silhouette comes flying through the falling towards me, "I misplayed there." I tsk.<br/> "Reaper can't hit the living with his scythe! But he can destroy your useless ball of flames, Kazuto!" Yuuzuko yells; laughing diabolically as he falls towards me, spinning for more momentum, "Dual Strike!"<br/> Out of all the sweat being shredded internally right now and the worries I feel from Aura, the game isn't over. I chuckle, "Yuuzuko..." I look at Aura, my heart racing. Pumping up excitement and an answer. My body tingles as I stare up and see Yuuzuko being pulled by gravity, "made the biggest misplay of his gaming career.<br/> There's a silence in the stadium as the climax of battle is already set in stone. Yuuzuko in the air with his dual swords coming down spinning. Reaper taking out Aura's Flare and setting down the Garden of Bones; trapping me from moving. Looks like the game's set. Right? If you thought so, you're missing one piece of crucial information. Aura's attack hasn't been used yet. And Yuuzuko's in the perfect position for it, "Aura! Fire Strike!"<br/> "It's too late, Kazuki!" Yuuzuko laughs diabolically as momentum quickens, "You're going dow-" He grimaces at the sight of Aura right above him, "No... This can't be!"<br/>Aura strikes the air setting the strike ablaze as it hits Yuuzuko and creates an explosion of momentum downwards striking him down to the ground with dust and dirt flying through the air. An absolute silence befalls on the classmates and staff, no sound around the coliseum room.<br/>The whistle blows, "Kazuki is the winner!"<br/> <br/>A woman steps out of the dust as she holds out a wand like device. It glows blue as it sucks the energy of the Battle Cube into it effectively destroying the Battle Cube instantly. Other agents come out from behind her and storm into the room protecting her from the students with their hands on their hips to pull out energy guns if needed. She wears a black and white suit and a black skirt ending around her kneecap. Red lipstick with sunglasses. Black hair backed into a ponytail as she chews on gum with her arms crossed standing her ground on high heel shoes. "Where's the brat?" She yells; staring at the teacher, "I need to speak with him." She squints her eyes, "In private."</p>
