1.36: Hakuraa!
("What?! Who said that?")
Tedashii began to look around him, but the bandits didn't understand why.
You always call up for me when you need me,
("What?")
I am your prowess.
("Hakuraa?")
Indeed.
He stood still and closed his eyes.
"LOOK EVERYONE!! IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS FINALLY GIVEN UP!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
The bandits laughed at Tedashii, but Motoroshi seemed not to have been bothered while Kate and Suzuki were confounded.
("Hakuraa, if this is you. Then I need your help! My friends are-")
Your friends won't be able to compensate for your death…
("...What are you talking about?")
A spiritas is not just a prowess you call unto; We also have our lives. You always call me for more spiritas, yet you've never asked me to help…
Tedashii wasn't reckoning with what she was getting at.
You will die on your own, but maybe we have a chance if you ask,
("Alright…Hakuraa, I need your help.")
Not happening...
("WHAT?! YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD HELP IF I ASKED!!")
Such violence won't change my mind. You have to do it the right way,
("The right way?")
If you need my help, summon me.
("Alright, I'll see what I can do.")
Tedashii opened his eyes again, but then he had a confused expression on his face. So he closed his eyes again.
"HAHAHAHAHAH!!"
The bandit kept mocking him, but Motoroshi was not amused at all. "Hmm, what is he up to?"
("You asked me to summon you, YET DIDN'T TELL ME HOW!!")
You did not ask…
("OH SO- *Exhale, can you teach me how to summon you?")
Take this stance.
("Huh?")
She viewed the stance through his eyes.
"Alright, like this?"
Take a deep breath, then lean forward when you breathe out.
He inhaled as deep as he could, then exhaled. Spiritas busted out of his body, and his left eye began to glow light blue.
("Whoa! What is this energy?")
This is what happens when you sync with your Immortal,
("Sync? So you're in control of my body now?")
In these cases, it works differently. Instead of complete possession, it is my spiritas in your image.
All the bandits took some steps back out of fear, while Motoroshi also charged up his spiritas.
"Finally, you've gotten serious."
Listen, he will use his Vanishing Point once again. We will attack to avoid it.
("Eh?? I can't take another kick!")
Don't worry, leap towards him!
("WHAT?! I'LL GET KILLED IF I DO THAT AGAIN!!")
Do you have a better plan?
(…)
"Alright, here goes nothing," Tedashii said.
Then, without a second thought, he leaped.
"To think you learned your lesson about this. I'll finish you, once and for all."
Tedashii finally made it in his range. The two points began to glow, and Motoroshi took his stance. "So long, Tedashii."
~FUSHIGIRI PROWESS: POWER KICK!
("AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!")
~Hakuraa: FAZE!
BVIPP!!
Tedashii distilled himself right through the kick, and his body was crouched under his foot.
"!!!" Motoroshi immediately turned back after the kick. But for some reason, the speed of the whole world seemed much slower compared to Tedashii.
("What? I…can see him turn…so slowly.")
Now Tedashii. Strike the attack on his heart at the right time.
Tedashii looked at his arm and saw a black aura around it. When he looked back up, he could hear the speed of Motoroshi's heartbeat.
("The right time?")
Precisely after the next beat rate!
THUMP!!
There!!
Tedashii went for the attack with his new move!
~Hakuraa: Fade To BLACK
BAMM!!
He struck the attack right on his chest, rigidly at the moment his heart struck a beat. Motoroshi faltered unconscious, and that was the opportunity Tedashii saw to take his stance.
Do it now!
~HAKURAA: Blue Rose FIST!!
BLAMM!!!
"GAGH!!"
Tedashii connected with the attack, pushing forward for more strength as his fist sunk into Motoroshi's chest.
"RHAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
BWOOSH!!!
Motoroshi was blown away through the steel wall and out of the building. All the bandits had no way to express their thoughts on this.
"YEEAAAAAHHH!!- Oh crap, that's me-"
Thud!
Tedashii fell to the ground, depleted to his limit. Kate and Suzuki re-joined him and helped him out.
