Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop
Reeta: *gasp* Lucent!
Nanase: (W-What did I just see? Is he really fighting himself?)
Reeta: We have to go there and help him.
Rayla: We?
Reeta: I-I mean...You guys...do it...
Rayla: Of course. (You're starting to slip Reeta. Wonder how much longer she can take before she'll use her powers in public.)
Theo: Do you guys have any idea why this is happening with him?
Rayla: Well...it's only recently that he started opening up to us...surely there's still some hesiation in his heart.
Kaori: Hollow heart...fragile friendship...Maybe...Deep down...he feels that there isn't truly a connection.
Rayla: I wouldn't doubt it...
Reeta: That's absurd. You all know he's making an effort right?
Rayla: That's not the issue here. We know he's trying...but maybe...he might be the one to break ties with us because of self-loathing.
Reeta: W-why do you think of that?
Tiane: ...Probably because he's fighting his own "reflection" right now.
Theo: You guessed it. That might be his repressed thoughts and feelings given form....Something like that. I'm sure Marina has something similar in mind.
Reeta: Lucent...
Rayla: (He might still be in some sort of danger though...Though we can't say for sure. I think Reimu probably got our phone numbers from Lucent and would've already called us if something like this happened. What I'm more worried about right now is the person who sent this message. Whoever it is, knows the technology Marina uses and might not be from this world either.)
Unknown Location - Incubation Room
Music: Calbania - Kito Caverns
Hinata and Kenneth saw themselves in a room full of glass tubes filled with some sort of liquid. There were also people insides some of the tubes.
Kenneth: What is this place?
Hinata: Seems like this is where they conduct their experiments.
???: That's part of it, yes.
They turned around, seeing a woman wearing a red glaive armor and wielding a hammer.
???: This is where our comrades sleep after some heavy testing. This liquid that you're seeing extimulates the body's regeneration.
Hinata: Y-You can do even that?
???: Impressive right? Soon enough, the world will experience this marvelous tech.
Hinata: ... (How is this possible?)
???: You don't look satisfied with what I said.
Hinata: I have the feeling this will only be a reality when the world is thrown into chaos thanks to your actions.
???2: I won't deny that.
Kenneth: What? (I didn't hear his footsteps at all...)
Hinata and Kenneth were surrounded on both sides. Their only escape once again being up, but Hinata had a feeling they wouldn't let her pull that stunt another time, and so, took a fighting stance and focused her attention on the hammer wielding woman.
???: Judging by that expression, you don't want to hear the rest.
Hinata: That's right...I know more of your men will just storm the room by the time you're done.
???2: You're a cautious one, Hinata Shuusuke from the Intelligence Office.
Hinata: Well...I haven't exactly made my identity a mystery...but if you reconized me at first glance means that you bothered to keep tabs on me.
???2: It's more than just that. We know everything about the forces that protect this city.
Hinata: Your source being?
???2: The goverments trusts the DUST Organization enough to lay that sort of information to us. We're pretty much partners.
Hinata: Well...that's one mystery solved...One that we've pretty much saw it coming.
???2: Unfortunately, you'll be keeping that secret once we brainwash the both of you. Gillia, let's get on with it.
Gillia: Right on Ametatsu.
Kenneth: I'll handle the lady with the hammer...The one in the mask seems a bit too experienced for my current level.
Hinata: Got it. If they prove too much, we'll have to hold on until either Saika is done with the soldiers below or someone from the Intelligence Office comes to rescue us.
Ametatsu: (Wait...did she just say people from the intelligence are coming? Did she somehow get in contact with them while being inside this building? That's not possible, the jammers were supposed to be active.)
Music: The Law of Shura
Hinata: Now then...you'll see just the kind of person that you've caught in your little toy back there.
As Hinata said before, her style completely ditched ranged options in favor of explosive strikes. Meaning that any of her punches could break through almost any kind of defense, and even if the opponent somehow managed to resist her attack, they still had to deal with the intense heat. The only viable way to last longer against Hinata was by having a quick reaction time and being able to open up distance as well.
Hinata: HYAAAAAA!!!
Ametatsu: Tch...This is hot...
Hinata: Nice job on the dodging...but are you sweating already?
Ametatsu: As if!
Ametatsu used the same movement technique that Kaori employed in her fight against Werhan to distance himself.
Hinata: You won't escape!
Ametatsu: And you won't be able to see it!
Hinata: Huh?
Suddenly, Hinata sees herself being pushed back by an invisible force.
Hinata: Argh!
Ametatsu: You're not an Ancestor Mage...which means you don't have the ability to partially see Psychic Auras...let alone feel them! Chi Masters are physical fighters that have broken the limits of their bodies...Whoever, that doesn't mean you're able to see the aura produced by our brainwaves.
Hinata: I see...I forgot about that detail.
Ametatsu: This battle was over before it started. I just needed a grasp on your speed and reaction time. Now, to bring the finish.
She paid attention to his hand movements. Once he thrusted his hand foward, she suddenly vanished out of sight. Noticing a landing sound behind him and turning around just in time to dodge a flurry of punches.
Hinata: Guess again.
Amatetatsu: Urgh...
He once again, used his Psychic Aura to open up some distance. Hinata waited for another chance to close in on him by waiting for another hand movement, the sign that he was about to extend his aura to attack her. Once she got behind Ametatsu once more, he dodged another flurry of punches and when he prepared to back away once more, that's when Hinata noticed that he always took a "backstep" stance.
Then, the moment Ametatsu used his technique, Hinata immidietaly followed him with her speed.
Ametatsu: What?
Hinata: You're mine!
She managed to land a punch, lifting him off the ground while still running foward. Then, she dealt another fiery punch that sent Ametatsu flying towards a wall. He used his aura to minimize damage of the following attack, but saw himself struggling to get up thanks to the damage of the first punch.
Ametatsu: Urgh... (That was close...but...)
Hinata: Even if I can't see your attacks, you still telegraph what you do. You also got too confident just because you fought me for almost a couple of seconds without considering my full speed.
Ametatsu: Tch...
Hinata: See you later in the interrogation room...
As she was about to deal a finishing attack, Hinata felt her body being squeezed by Ametatsu's Psychic Aura, suddenly realizing that he never needed to telegraph his attacks.
Ametatsu: That was my bad...but it won't happen again.
Hinata: Argh...
Ametatsu: Now take this!
She started to repeatedly slam her to the ground, making sure she wouldn't escape. Meanwhile, Kenneth's battle against Gillia was more or less evenly sided. She wasn't a Psychic User like Ametatsu, but still a formidable enough fighter to give Kenneth as few openings as possible.
Kenneth: (She's not like the other Glaive Soldiers...that's for sure.
Gillia: C'mon now, you have to perform better than that.
Kenneth: You're right...This time, I have to actually try.
Gillia: So you were holding back? Why?
Kenneth: Of course I would hold back... (Aside from risking myself of course...)
Music: Rozen Vamp
Suddenly, the strenght and speed of Kenneth's attacks increased considerably. With every swing of his claws, one could briefly see a trail of gray-colored energy. Gillia was forced on the defensive even more than before.
Gillia: What?
Kenneth: One has to hold their trump card until the end...Don't you agree?
Finding a brief interval with his assault, she started spun her body once while swinging her hammer. Knowing she wouldn't hit her mark, she hoped at least to have him back off a bit. While that plan did work, Kenneth fired a claw-shaped energy blast from both his hand while he jumped backwards to avoid the hammer.
Gillia: Oh no!
Not having any more time to react, Gillia was hit by the attack and was thrown away by the attack, colliding with one of the empty glass tubes, but only cracking it.
Gillia: Urgh...
Kenneth: (I shouldn't spend much time in this fight, I have to finish this quickly.)
Gillia: (Here he comes...)
Struggling against the pain, Gillia quickly got up in order to block Kenneth's next wave of attacks. Even though she managed to block it she knew she wouldn't last long because of Kenneth's sudden increase of power.
Reeta: *gasp* Lucent!
