First Real Battle
"To think that they would be here," Mamoru lamented once they arrived at their destination.
"It took us, half a day to come here, I just wish both of them are still fine, let's go inside," Raven went ahead.
Upon entering they heightened their concentration.
"You don't have to be that on guard, we didn't plan on hiding anyway," just as they turn to another corner they were suddenly greeted by a dark colored water whip.
Jumping on either side of the corridor, they were able to evade the attack towards them.
"Ooooh nice reflex there," the man wearing a green cloak commented, he was the one who attacked them with the whip.
"Let's move on separate places," Raven commanded as he and Mamoru moved on one room, the other three moved on another.
"Oh, split fight? That's fine by me, you can take the other three. You can do that right?" he asked the red cloaked man beside him.
"Don't underestimate me," the red cloaked man retorted as he followed the other three.
Yet just as he entered the room, he was suddenly greeted by an ice ability. Followed by blocks of soil, then suddenly the floor beneath him turned to a very wet soil. He was slowly sinking, when another barraged of attacks came his way.
"Did we get him?" Hideyoshi asked.
As everything cleared up.
"To think you also know how to combine abilities, amazing truly amazing," the red cloaked man clapped, he was completely unscathed.
"Then it's my turn," he suddenly disappeared.
"Be on guard, his either an invisible or speed ability user," Feena commanded as they hold their weapons tighter.
"May be, may not be," Karen was suddenly thrown to the side crashing in the wall when she was kicked by the red cloaked man who appeared behind her.
Feena used water burst towards him, but to no avail as he once again disappeared.
"I'm here," he appeared on Hideyoshi's side. Hideyoshi used his wind to push himself away.
Using her whip Feena took a grip of the red cloaked man's hand.
"Did you know that you are not a match to me?"
"AAAAHHHHH!!" Feena was suddenly electrocuted.
"Feena!!" Hideyoshi then released wind boomerangs towards the red cloaked man.
Karen at the same time created a land barrier.
"Are you okay?" they asked her.
"Did he just use another ability?" Feena, who was still shock, asked.
"He did, which means we are against someone really new," Hideyoshi replied as he think of ways for them to fight.
"Even with a barrier do you think you could stop my attack?"
*ZZZT ZZZT*
"Aahhhh!!"
"DAMN!!"
They were once again electrocuted. His electric passed through the floor reaching them. When the barrier was down. He was once again gone.
"Karen," Hideyoshi motioned Karen to come closer.
"I understand," Karen acknowledged.
"Let's go," extending his hand towards Feena.
"Okay, let's finish this," Feena accepting his hand. All three of them stood on guard.
"You won't be able-" the red cloaked man spoke in Hideyoshi's side once again but was stopped when Hideyoshi slashed his sword in his direction.
Blood dripping from his wound, he smirked before disappearing once again. But was once again, hit when he tried to approach Feena.
"Dancing electricity," he said just as electric currents danced from above.
It was for a naught when Karen used her soil as a medium to direct the electricity away from them. Then he was suddenly bombarded by different ice spikes and soil spikes. He evaded some but was hit by others.
"Damn you brats!!" he angrily roared as he used his electricity to make the spikes explode. That's when he noticed the dust surrounding him.
"So that's how you find out."
"Guys is it ready?" Karen faced the other two.
"Distraction," Hideyoshi called out.
Karen followed suit with dust storm.
"This brats!!" as he was about to release another electricity,
"Ice Glacier," Hideyoshi and Feena said at the same time.
"Wha-" he was then engulfed to a glacier of ice.
When everything settled down.
"Did we get him this time?" Karen asked anxiously.
"I guess, we gave our all after all," Feena replied exhausted.
"Guys your hands!!" Karen exclaimed seeing how messed up their hands became.
"We gave 90% after all, I think we broke more than what should be broken," Hideyoshi was the one who answered this time.
"Let's rest for a bit before going to where Raven and Mamoru is," Karen sat down and rested with them.
After a few moments,
"Let's go?" Feena asked as they stood up.
*ZZZT ZZZT*
"Eh?" before they could react.
"aaaaaahhhhhh!!"
"aaaaahhhh!!"
"ugh!!"
They were suddenly electrocuted with a higher voltage than the one awhile ago. Then the glacier started cracking before exploding, this explosion caused the floor beneath them to collapse. They fell down to what look like an underground training area. By the time they hit the ground, another explosion came and the ceiling on the other side collapsed. There fell Raven and Mamoru.
"You look like a mess," the green cloaked man commented on the red cloaked man.
"Back at you," he replied.
Both their cloaks and clothes are a mess, they both have wounds as well. The other five could see their faces but they don't recognize them.
"It seems we both let our guard down," the green cloaked man said.
"Even Raven," Hideyoshi commented with difficulty.
*****
Upon entering where Raven and Mamoru went He was not greeted by a barrage of attacks but instead was greeted by them waiting for him on guard.
"Oh, you didn't ambush me?"
"Where are they?" Mamoru asked.
"Hmmm are you perhaps, the lovers?"
"Stop with the non sense and tell us."
"They're somewhere but I suppose they wouldn't know you by now, oh wait I think one of them is still fighting though," he nonchalantly replied.
Then he was engulfed by inferno.
"Really, your ability is not a much for me though," he then killed the fire with water flood.
Both he and Raven moved at the same time attacking the green cloaked man.
"Weaklings," he commented just as the two of them were suddenly slammed on the ground.
"G-Gravity," it is not rare but it is not common either, this ability could be said to be those that appear one in a hundred.
The green cloaked man jumped upwards when spikes of soil emerged from the floor. Then he was showered with fire balls.
"Hmmm impressive to be able to conjure your abilities despite having difficulty in moving," he commended as he evade the fire balls.
Raven and Mamoru was then slammed on either side of the room crashing to the walls. Mamoru stood up coughing a mouthful of blood.
"Your tough," he commended, casting another water ability.
Mamoru could only defend himself as he was bombarded by different types of water attacks.
"Boulder fall," he conjured.
Different sized boulders started falling on the room, destroying the roof falling towards the green cloaked man.
"Futile," he said as he used gravity to make the boulders fall to Mamoru who was affected as well.
"Meteor Shower," just as gravity was placed on Mamoru, Raven who was outside the room, used another of his strongest fire abilities. The green cloaked man didn't count on the fact that one could be outside, he only used gravity inside that room.
"Phoenix," using another one, the screech of a bird was heard.
Caught off guard, the green cloaked man was able to avoid his Meteor shower but the phoenix was able to hit him, engulfing his cloak on fire.
Just as Raven was about to attack with his sword, vines suddenly sprouted stabbing him.
"V-Vines?"
He dropped to ground near Mamoru.
"He also has poison," Mamoru said.
"Four abilities?"
"Shocked? Don't be that's normal," the green cloaked man laughed.
"Now," Raven said.
He and Mamoru placed their hands on the floor at the same time, the green cloaked man who was caught off guard once again, didn't expect for the floor to suddenly become magma.
"Wha- You can do this?"
Creating a massive water flood, the floor that wasn't sturdy in the first place collapsed.
Falling down, Mamoru and Raven noticed the other three. Then their attention was shifted to the one lying in what looks like an altar and the other who's standing beside it.
"You look like a mess," the green cloaked man commented on the red cloaked man.
"Back at you," he replied.
"It seems we both let our guard down," the green cloaked man said.
"EUREKA!! EUREKA WAKE UP!!"
"AZUSA!! AZUSA CAN YOU HEAR US!!"
"awww, too bad they can't hear you. Ah or is she still fighting?" the green cloaked man asked.
"She just finished, a strong one I must commend, she put up quite a fight," the red cloaked man answered.
"NO!! EUREKA!! AZUSA!!" Karen shouted.
"YOU CAN'T, BOTH OF YOU, YOU CAN'T!!" Feena with tears on her eyes, called out.
