Chapter 36- Quick thinking

I rushed under one of the squares as the arrow rained down on the outside. As it rained, I looked around to see Sugi under another square off in the distance. As the rain continued, I placed my palm on to it and dragged it forward alongside me as I rushed into Sugi's territory. A pass and I was in. As the rain of arrows is happening outside, Sugi grabbed onto one a little arrow outside and threw it towards me. After figuring she could move the thing, Sugi pushed her platform away as she spans around me while I dodged the arrow she threw. She went into the previous square I used, while I was forced to walk under the drifting square she pushed out. The rain was over, and the squares were gone as many brown and red platform was pushed up, resulting in two getting us.

I kept my focus on Sugi but kept a little downwards to check if the water was still there. The water was there, and my platform was only a meter or so above the 20cm tall water. With a sickly feel on my hands, it got my attention. I look down slightly see a soft plastic substance has wrapped around each of my fingers. It looped and went to the opposite ringer next hand to create something like a spider web. I pulled it a little; I confirmed it to be stretchable. It a sudden door sound came into my ears as part of the walls opened, it a bang, cannon balls are flying out from a 360 angle with each shoot uneven to the last.

With a kick with my feet, the surface was unmoveable. There wasn't much I could do, even the water area and the sky are in the shooting line.

…

-Wait, I have the web in my fingers

I stretched the web out by pushing my hand away from each other. The web was stretched out with each finger open to the max. Seeing all shoots are aiming towards the center of the circle, I place my left hand above my head and my other about knee height. I near in the middle and Sugi too. Sugi is going with the same strategy as she faces one side and let her back faces me. I had my back to her too and had my arm out ready to block. Since I can only take care of one side at a time due to the different firing patterns, I could use Sugi to help me to block one side, though the ones coming from the middle would still be a problem. The cannon balls were getting closer and closer until it was touching my elastic strings. I jumped forward a little but maintaining my place on the rises surface. I pushed the cannon balls back, stopping the fires from my face temporary. With the balls that are traveling through the middle finally coming, I turned around and jumped on the first one near me; I moved forward now in the distance between my previous platform and Sugi's current position. With now the front beginning blocked by Sugi and the back being blocked by my earlier shoot, I am not in mid-air heading towards Sugi with cannon balls coming from all sideways. I stretched my hands out more, from top to bottom. I turn clockwise until the current fire was over. By spinning, I've collected the cannon balls, and due to the elastic webs, it won't explode. The fire was over, and I pushed my cannon balls out towards Sugi's direction. Sugi turned around and splattered the cannon balls that she caught around her as she jumped. The explosive impact flew her away from a little up the sky and avoided my attack. In the air with no other choice, I was forced to land on the fog platform which previously belongs to Sugi. As the fog quickly disappeared when I hit swung my web around, over the platforms and water, Sugi was nowhere to be seen.

With a spatter of water behind me, I knew where she was. I turned around to see her web going over my face. I jumped up by a centimeter to two; I placed my foot on an angle with my heel bone part curving along the floor and slide to get my body fall in the quickest manner thinkable at the time. Falling half way now with my back still straight. My face is falling down the direction of Sugi's feet while my feet are in the opposite direction. Successfully dodging her attack attempt on my head area, I grabbed onto her legs and pulled to let her body fall downwards into the water. With reflexes and the water is only 20cm, she hands stand with splatter and swung her leg forwards which were where I was holding her, by using her stomach, hip and leg muscle swing. I was flipped over the top over her legs. I let go and landed on my feet and continued to slide a little more, getting close to my previous standing area.
