Luis and Ella vs Chef

Ella, Grover, and I continue on with our demon slaying shenanigans, and things are going smoothly until another extra-powerful demon enters the room, this one wearing a chef's outfit and matching chef's hat.

"What the Hell's Bar is going on in here?!" The chef demon shouts as he continues sizzling whatever's cooking in the still-blazing pan in his hands.

"Ah, chef…you're here!" One of the demons excitedly cries mere seconds before I slice its head off with my katana.

"NOOOO!!!" Chef booms as he drops his frying pan to the ground. "She was one of our best customers!"

"Hey, was that my order?!" Another demon snaps mere seconds before Grover blasts a bloody hole in their chest with another emission of bright-green Cursed Power.

"No…that was his order," Chef answers as he points to another demon, only to see Ella send it flying backwards with an orange Cursed Power Knockback Wave.

Chef pauses.

"NOOOO!!!!!" He then cries. "Stop messing with my customers!"

Chef then swipes a hand upwards, and instantly, dozens of cooking and cutlery knives of various shapes and sizes bubbling with mint-green Cursed Power rise into the air.

"Oh shi-" I begin to say as I turn to face the chef demon, but I'm interrupted when Chef swipes a hand towards Ella, Grover, and I.

"Gravity Core: Knife Storm!" Chef booms as his dozens of knives fly towards Ella, Grover, and I.

"Hey, that's my attack name!" Grover snaps.

"Knockback Wave!" Ella shouts as she jumps in front of Grover and I. Ella then thrusts a palm towards Chef's knives, firing off a wave of orange Cursed Power and knocking the knives away.

But after being knocked away, Chef's knives begin bubbling with mint-green Cursed Power again, and begin flying towards Ella, Grover, and I, just as before.

"What?!" Ella cries.

"Wormhole!" Grover shouts as he opens up a wormhole in front of Ella and I, and Chef's knives fly inside. "Right back at 'cha!" Grover laughs as he opens up a second wormhole in front of Chef, sending his knives flying right back to him.

In response, Chef lowers his hand as the mint-green Cursed Power bubbling around his knives dissipates, and the knives fall back to the ground.

"This demon…what's his ability, telekinesis?" I ask. "Levitating knives like a circus act?"

"Something like that," Ella answers.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY CUSTOMERS!" Chef booms as he crouches down, his entire body bubbling with mint-green Cursed Power. Chef then uncoils his body and springs upwards, flying into the air and smashing through ceiling after ceiling of Hell's Bar, and sending giant chunks of rubble falling to the ground.

"Woah…" Ella, Grover, and I marvel as we stare at Chef levitating in the air through the hole in the ceiling.

"He can fly…that's so cool!" Grover exclaims.

"No complementing the enemy, Grover…" Ella sighs.

"Gravity Core-" Chef begins to say as he holds a hand up, and the chunks of rubble from the shattered roof of Hell's Bar begins bubbling with mint-green Cursed Power, and rises into the air.

"-POTATO MASHER!" Chef shouts as he aims his hand at Ella, Grover, and I, sending the chunks of rubble flying towards the three of us.

"Well this is suboptimal…" I grumble as I watch Chef's attack fly towards the three of us.

"Knockback Wave!" Ella shouts as she thrusts her palm up towards Chef's chunks of rubble, shattering them with an orange ring of Cursed Power.

"Wormhole: Green Roundhouse!" Grover shouts as he teleports into the air next to Chef's chunks of stone, shattering them with a Cursed Power reinforced kick.

"Air Control: Air Lock!" I shout as I thrust my hands up towards Chef's attack, releasing a powerful gust of wind and sending the chunks of storm flying away.

"How do we fight an opponent flying in the air like that?!" Ella cries as she peers up at Chef.

"I can teleport up there, but I won't be able to stay in the air for very long," Grover answers as he places his hands on his hips and stares up at Chef.

"Hmm…" I mutter as I place a hand to my chin. "I think I have an idea…"

"What's 'dat, Luis?" Grover asks.

I crouch down low, wrapping my wind around my legs and ankles. "If that demon chef can fly…then so can I!" I exclaim as I spring upwards, using my wind to push off of the ground and send me flying into the air.

"Holy cow, Luis can fly!" Grover exclaims as he peers up at me, using his hand to shield his eyes from the sun.

"Mh-hm, mh-hm!" Ella nods as she stares up at me.

"What the…how'd you get up here?!" Chef exclaims once I'm levitating in the air before him, using a tornado wrapped around my waist and attached to the ground to keep my afloat.

"All wind is under my control!" I answer with a smirk. "What about you…how are you flying?"

"I'm gravity," Chef answers with a smirk of his own. "A stronger version of you, in a way."

"Hmm…this might be a tough one…" I say to myself under my breath as my smirk fades a bit.

"Gravity Core-" Chef begins to say as he swipes his hand up, and -just as before- dozens of cooking and cutlery knives of various shapes and sizes rise into the air, each one bubbling with mint-green Cursed Power.

"-Cutting Board!" Chef shouts as swipes his hand towards me again, sending his dozens of knives flying towards me.

"Wind Control-" I begin to say as I draw my katana, wrapping my wind around its blade.

"-Hurricane Slash!" I shout as I slash my katana towards Chef, sending a powerful gust of slashing winds flying towards him and colliding with Chef's Cursed Power Barrier reinforced knives, knocking them away.

"So that's wind, aye?" Chef asks.

"Strong, right?" I ask with a smirk.

"Eh, I've seen better," Chef replies with a shrug, causing me to scowl.

"Gravity Center-" Chef begins to say as he scrunches his entire body. All of a sudden, I'm sent flying towards Chef, as if my body is attracted to his.

"What the Hell is happening?!" I cry.

"I assigned my body to be the "center of gravity" for you, rather than the Earth itself!" Chef explains as I continue flying towards him.

"BLACK HOLE!"

Once I'm standing directly before Chef, a blast of mint-green Cursed Power explodes out of Chef's body, and I'm sent flying away from Chef, not just because of the explosion of mint-green Cursed Power, but also because of Chef using his gravity to repel me.

I attempt to summon my wind around my entire body to recover myself mid-air, but because of Chef's gravity, my body and Cursed Power feels all out of whack, and I can't summon my wind.

"OOF!" I grunt as my back slams into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Luis, are you okay?!" Ella cries as she rushes over to me. Meanwhile, Grover continues tangling with the demon.

"Ow…" I groan as I sit up and rub my head. "This dude's too strong…"

"Are you going to fly back up there?" Ella asks as she places her hands to my shoulder blades, and I feel Ella's warm, comforting Cursed Power flow into my body and heal my wounds.

"Yeah…but that demon chef's gravity seems sooo much stronger than my mind, so i don't know what to do…" I mutter.

But then…my eyes widen as a lightbulb goes off over my head.

"ELLA!" I exclaim as I turn to face the girl, causing Ella to flinch.

"Wh-what is it?!" Ella stammers.

"Ella, fly up there with me, and we'll beat that demon together!" I exclaim.

"How?" Ella asks. "I can't fly, you know."

"Like this-" I answer as I push myself off of the ground and up to my feet. I then crouch down behind Ella, and extend my hands out to her from behind.

"WHAT?!" Ella cries with a blush. "A piggyback ride?! I can't do that!"

"What not?" I ask.

"Because…because…" Ella stammers. "It's embarrassing!"

"Alright…I see how it is…" I say with a sigh as I stand up and turn around to face Ella. I scowl at Ella, as Ella blushes back at me. I take a step closer to Ella, and then -without another warning, I sweep Ella off of my feet, and catch her in my arms.

"LUIS…WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Ella cries as she squirms in my grasp.

"Grover, you mind taking care of things down here?" I ask as I turn and peer over my shoulder towards Grover.

"Got it, bud!" Grover answers as he teleports behind a demon, and slams a mighty Cursed Power Barrier reinforced kick into the back of the demon's neck, causing said demon's eyes to roll into the back of its head before limply slumping to the ground.

"Let's go, Ella!" I exclaim as I crouch down low, wrapping my wind around my legs and ankles.

Ella screams as I spring upwards, using my wind to push off of the ground and send me flying into the air.

"So you're back?" Chef asks. once I'm levitating in the air before him, using a tornado wrapped around my waist and attached to the ground to keep my afloat. "And now you have an ally."

"You mean "and now we're gonna beat you"!" I exclaim with a smirk as I point at Chef.

"Luis…" Ella meekly whimpers.

"Huh? What?" I ask as I peer down at Ella.

"Your hand's on my butt…" Ella timidly answers with a blush.

"Ah…SORRY!" I exclaim as I blush as well.

Ella scrambles out of my hands and over my shoulder then latches onto my back, finally taking up my offer for a piggyback ride at last.

"Gravity Core-" Chef begins to say as he swipes his hand up, and -just as before- dozens of cooking and cutlery knives of various shapes and sizes rise into the air, each one bubbling with mint-green Cursed Power.

"-Cutting Board!" Chef shouts as swipes his hand towards me again, sending his dozens of knives flying towards me.

"Ella!" I exclaim.

"Right!" Ella replies.

I then feel Ella's warm, comforting Cursed Power flow into my body and juice-up my own Cursed Power.

"Wind Control-" I begin to say as I draw my katana, wrapping my wind around its blade.

"-Hurricane Slash!" I shout as I slash my katana towards Chef, sending a n extra-powerful gust of slashing winds flying towards him and colliding with Chef's Cursed Power Barrier reinforced knives, knocking them away, before continuing onwards towards Chef.

"Gravity Core: Frying Pan!" Chef exclaims as he holds a palm up to me, firing off a blast of gravity towards me.

But my Hurricane Slash cuts straight through Chef's blast of Cursed Power, before continuing onwards towards Chef and slashing him across the chest, causing Chef to spit up a glob of blood.

"We got 'em!" Ella cheers.

"Gravity Core-" Chef begins to say as he swipes both hands upwards. Giant chunks of rubble from the shattered roof of Hell's Bar then rises into the air on either side of Ella and I, bubbling with mint-green Cursed Power.

"Potato Masher!" Chef shouts as he clasps his hands together, interlocking his fingers, and causing Chef's giant chunks of rubble flying towards Ella and I in the hopes of squeezing us into oblivion.

"Wind Control: Tornado Shield!" I shout as an extra-powerful tornado begins swirling around Ella and I. Chef's chunks of rubble then slams into my Tornado Shield, but my powerful slashing winds slice straight through Chef's chunks of rubble, slicing them into mini-chunks of rubble, as my Tornado Shield. dissipates.

"Gravity Core: Blender!" Chef shouts as the mini-chunks of rubble begin bubbling with mint-green Cursed Power again, before flying towards Ella and I.

"Air Control: Wind Blade!" I shout as I wrap a tornado around the blade of my katana while reinforcing it with dark-blue Cursed Power. I then emit my dark-blue Cursed Power into the atmosphere in the form of a net of Cursed Power around Ella and I.

Using my Air Control, I manage to perfectly duck and weave through Chef's bombardment of mini-chunks of rubble, while also using my Wind Blade to slash right through them.

"Look out!" Ella exclaims as she motions to a piece of rubble that I missed.

Ella then thrusts her palm towards the piece of rubble, emitting an orange ring of Cursed Power and using it to blast the mini-chunk of rubble to bits. "Knockback Wave!" Ella shouts.

"Thanks, Ella," I say.

"No problem!" Ella replies.

"Let's see how your wind compares to my gravity!" Chef booms as he thrusts both hands towards Ella and I.

A powerful blast of gravity then shoots out of Chef's hands, flying through the air towards Ella and I.

"Oh…I know what to do!" I begin to say as I chamber my right hand, while aiming my left hand at Chef.

Wind begins swirling around my wrist as I thrust my hand towards Chef, firing off an extra-powerful emission of dark-blue Cursed Power. The wind around my palm then begins to fire outwards, forming a spiraling beam of wind like a sideways tornado, or like a ranged version of my wind blade, which hugs my Cursed Power beam, wrapping around it as it flies towards Chef.

"WIND CONTROL: SPIRIT STORM!"

"GRAVITY CORE: HELL'S KITCHEN!"

Mine and Chef's attacks collide in a powerful burst of wind and gravity, of dark-blue Cursed Power and mint-green Cursed Power, which send shockwaves coursing throughout the air.

Ella screams as she hugs my chest even tighter than before, tightening her legs wrapped around my waist, so that she's not sent flying off of me.

Mine and Chef's attacks struggle for dominance, going back and forth and exchanging turns as to who's pushing whom back.

"You can't beat me!" Chef cackles. "My gravity is a stronger form of your wind"!

"We'll see about that!" I roar. "I have Ella on my side!"

With a roar, I up the pressure of my attack as Ella floods even more of her Cursed Power into me. And then slowly; my Spirit Storm begins pushing Chef's Hell's Kitchen back.

"What?!" Chef cries. "This…this can't be!"

"I have my secret weapon!" I exclaim.

With one final roar, my Spirit Storm pushes past Chef's Hell's Kitchen before blasting into Chef, causing the demon to howl in pain as he's pierced by my powerful blast of wind, before being sent crashing to the ground in a cloud of dust.

As for Ella and I, I lower us to the ground as well, before allowing for the tornado that was keeping us afloat to dissipate.

"Oh thank God!" Ella exclaims as she lets go of my back and plants her feet back on solid ground.

"Ouch! My pride…" I sigh.

"No, it wasn't because of you, Luis!" Ella exclaims. "I just don't like heights!"

A blush then creeps across Ella's face.

"Not that I enjoyed hangouts onto you like that…I mean…not that I didn't enjoy your piggyback ride, I mean-"

"I know…I know…" I reply as I wave Ella off with a small sigh. "I get what you mean…"
