Kai vs Sounga - The might of the Evil Dragon

With a bang, Kai's closed eyes snapped open, his hazel eyes glowing with a murderous glint.

The Power of Spiritual Awakening hadn't changed his Attributes, other than MP and SP. But a virtual amount of 50 points in both of them was enough for Kai to trample over all.

The broken Iron Man armor, covering his chest and right arm, was still on him, enhancing his Strength, Agility, Perception, and Defense. Not to mention, the change in Murasame had seemed to reset the cooldown period of Little War Horn.

But this wasn't a fight of physical power, to begin with.

It was a struggle of Wills.

-Keke!- The Sword Spirit hovered at Kai's side, cackling in his ears. -Go, get it, Kai. I am itching to let myself loose.-

Hisss!

As Kai used the Selfless Breathing Art, Blood Flames soared high, tackling the purple hue covering the night. [GIF 1]

"Murasame…" Kai mumbled, his breath rattling.

An ethereal image of a black-haired girl appeared behind Kai. In her right hand was a sword, looking exactly like Murasame. She was the cursed sword's will, Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame.

The girl raised the transparent sword and thrust it into Kai's back, its tip coming out from his heart.

No blood splattered, as the wound wasn't real. But, the moment the sword and the girl disappeared, dense cursed runic characters burst out from his heart, covering his entire body.

Kai's long white hair under the hood became red, his pupils also glowed bloody, and his white sclera gained a black color.

It didn't end there, however.

Click! Click! Click!

Kai snapped the fingers of his left decayed hand three times. With every snap, his MP vanished, making his body shine with a blue glow.

Strengthening Magic!

Space seemed to distort around Kai by the end, his entire presence rivaling that of Shadow Lord.

Kai looked at Sounga, coming at him with a logic-defying speed, and with a pop, he vanished.

When he reappeared, Kai was right in front of the Sword of Calamity.

Sounga raised its left arm, where the sword was, and hacked at Kai, its entire body glowing purple.

Blood Flames crackled around Kai, Murasame trembled in excitement, and the end of his hair glowed yellow.

-Evil?- Kai hissed. -You… are not evil enough!-

BOOM! [Image 1]

The swords met with a boom, blood waves rising and falling like tsunamis, the purple fog tumbling here and there.

Kai's bloodlust hacked at Sounga along with Murasame's murderous will, pressing Sounga's evil presence under their might.

With another boom, both Kai and Sounga separated and hacked at each other the very next moment.

Rip!!! Boom!

The entire sky got covered in purple and red blurs as if two meteors were hammering into each other, ripples of powers breaking the sky.

The Reality Marble kept breaking apart. And, shockingly, Red Sun had taken out RizeGreymon, holding Shadow Lord from interfering with Kai's fight. Why? Only he knew the reasons behind his decisions. But there was a resolute look in Robin's eyes as if whatever decision he had taken he would see through it.

Boom! Bang! Boooom!

"Cough!" Kai got thrown off, coughing blood all over. Hundreds of meters away from him, Sounga staggered back, chips of armor falling off it.

"What… is… this power?" Sounga kept saying, seeing the demonic face that Kai's blood flames had assumed over his head. "This Will…"

"Hehehe!" Kai laughed like a maniac, a dense coldness bursting off him. "Evil? EVIL? I will show you what true evil looks like. HAAAA!"

Kai raised Murasame, the blood flames seemed to become a blade along with it.

And then Kai hacked.

A long, red scar tore through the world, cutting the very space in its wake. [Image 2]

"Humph!" Sounga snorted. "This power… is not enough. Dragon… Twister!"

The headless being raised its left hand, and a shadowy, evil, purple dragon took shape, coiling around the sword. Everything around Sounga shone purple, and when the sword hacked, no sound was generated. [Image 3]

Suddenly, a tornado manifested in front of Sounga. There was such a power contained within it that blasted apart a significant part of the sky. [Image 4]

This was Dragon Twister, Sounga's signature move!

The red scar, a manifestation of the Severing Charm using the Blood Flames, and the Dragon Twister kissed each other.

And the world lit up.

Rumbleeee!!!

Over the blood ocean, Red Sun kept bombarding the Shadow Lord using the revolver in his hand, along with the Digimon.

Yet, the moment Dragon Twister and Kai's red scar made contact, Reality Marble's entire sky fluctuated. One could even see a hint of a town through the sky's fluctuations; a town of shadows and death.

Pirate Lord Henry Morgan's eyes suddenly lit up with a profound gaze. It was as if some unknown means had been cutting off his source of power, and now he could use them again.

"IT WAS A SEAL?!" Shadow Lord fumed, growling. "WHO DARE SEAL ME? SHADOWS!!! DESCEND!"

The greatest Alchemist was truly brilliant to see through Kai's Reality Marble at the faintest hint. Just as Shadow Lord realized that this place had been sealing his powers, and he felt the source of his powers through the fluctuations, all his powers burst forth with a never-known ferocity.

He was still holding a black body in his right arm, the top of the skull of which was still that of a human. He then pushed this figure into himself, calling out to the shadows.

A sea of shadows descended from the shadow world, bubbling out of him. In no time, Pirate Lord Henry Morgan became a 1000 ft tall colossal giant.

"KILLL!" Shadow Lord's voice boomed, sending a massive punch at RizeGreymon and Red Sun.

Up in the sky, Kai's figure tumbled out, his chest exploding, and his eyes bleeding.

On the other side, a corner of Sounga's armor shattered, the purple hue around it rising, becoming ominous than ever. "You dare injure me?!" the sword bellowed. "I will end this world with this strike. I will send you all… to Hell! DRAGON…"

This time, when the purple light shone, it was as if a purple star had birthed in the sky. It replaced everything. [Image 5]

It replaced the enormous Shadow Lord's roar, Red Sun's transforming right arm, RizeGreymon's burning revolver, Moraine's Wings of Grim Butterfly, and the indifferent gaze of the Sword Spirit.

Nothing could stand against Sounga's true might.

This was the power of an Artifact that could become a top-level Uncommon-grade Named Item.

This was Sounga, the Sword of Calamity.

3 giant purple dragons roared, coiling around the sword attached to the headless being's left arm. [Image 6]

It was then Sounga finished its words; the sword descended along with it. "… TWISTER!!!"

The blood ocean boiled, over 100 ft waves surging high towards heaven. An enormous crack ran down from one corner of the Reality Marble to another, becoming a deep-sea trench.

The sky rumbled, shattering into hundred pieces.

And a humongous, purple tornado rushed toward Kai's falling figure, evil winds hacking, tearing everything around them. [Image 7]

Dementor-Kai spun and came to a rest after skidding back hundreds of feet in midair. "Boil… my blood!" Kai roared, squeezing out even greater power, blood flames liquefying around him. "Haha!" [Image 8]

Ethereal yellow bolts of lightning rumbled within his red eyes. "What is evil?!" Kai demanded, his shout tearing through the incoming world-ending tornado, reaching Sounga. "Evil means having No Attachments! Evil means discarding everything for one's goal! Evil means living by one's Principles, come hell or high water! Evil means bearing the burden of Guilt, and still keep moving on! Evil means walking toward the Peak of Absolute Power! You… You who don't have ambition… You are not evil enough!"

Dementor-Kai's entire body rippled, a mirage of six arms and three heads overlapping with his tiny figure.

His fingers snapped, consuming over 300 MP, and he cast the Doubling Charm over Murasame.

Six Murasame trembled murderously in Kai's six arms, his six eyes burning with power and bloodlust.

Selfless Breathing Style…

A red comet manifested in the sky, a moth flying toward the flame. All eyes fell on the sky inadvertently at this moment, the scene shocking the living breath out of them.

The massive, sky-shattering tornado's mouth coiled like a dragon's head and devoured the red comet in one gulp. [Image 9]

Silence!

Everything seemed to have gone silent. Even the very time seemed to have stagnated.

It was then a red trail could be seen shooting through the purple tornado. It was like this tornado was an actual dragon, and there was a vein running down from its throat to its end. This vein lacked blood before. But now, the appearance of that red trail filled it with life, as if blood was coursing through its veins.

But the appearance of this life meant death for the tornado.

With a boom, forcing blood out of the ears, the entire tornado exploded, purple gales storming through the entire blood world, and going beyond.

The red comet, the evilest of its kind, shot toward the headless being and passed through it.

First Transformation - Three-Headed Vritra!!!

Crack!

"NO!!!" the headless being roared before disintegrating into pieces. Only a straight sword left in its place, the pommel at its end glowing purple, but dimly. The hold of Shadow Lord's cut arm over Sounga's hilt loosened, and it fell, disappearing from all visions.

Kai's transformation melted away, and his entire bloodlust flooded every inch of the evil sword. "Either you submit to me.." He said, his Haki rippling around him out of his control, "… or I will Seal you for eternity. Not even gods will be able to save you. This is my Demonic Will."

Sounga shot itself toward Kai in reply. But the more it closed on him, the more its purple glow dimmed, the entire sword shaking like a twig amid a storm.

By the time it reached Kai, it had already stopped.

A shocking power fell upon the sword, lighting it up with purple and black flames. This power didn't belong to the sword. Nor did it belong to Kai.

This was the power of transformation.

An Artifact was becoming an Item.

"Humph!" Kai snorted, raising his scabbed palm covered in blood flames. "Bend yourself, Sounga. I… don't like straight swords."

Then Kai slammed his palm over the evil sword's tip.

The transformation ended, revealing a long katana as the black flames vanished. The Katana's blade glowed purple, and at the end of its hilt, there was a purple marble. [Image 10]

Kai wrapped his left hand's decayed fingers around the Item's hilt and drew a sharp breath.

'What a shocking might!' Kai exclaimed, sensing the power coursing through the blade; through him.

It was then a giant, black fist replaced the sky behind Kai. [Image 11]

Kai's eyes became the size of a needle, sensing it coming. But the use of First Transformation had consumed a lot of his Powers, making him unable to dodge.

Shadow Lord's fist landed on Kai and sent him flying.

Boom!

This was a boom of Kai striking the blood ocean, creating giant pillars of blood.

This was also the boom, marking the beginning of the end.

-Keke!- A cackle rang throughout the half-vanished Reality Marble, and all heard it, their souls shivering. -Call… Call my name!-
