'I can't just activate it when he's holding a kid…He's going to take damages too…' Rhea thoughted as she dodged Inferno's attack. "What's wrong Tempest? Don't just keep dodging! It's gonna be boring!" Inferno shouted, provoking her. "I had greater reasons than just delivering massive blows!" Rhea yelled, rushing to a nearby ruins.
"Grr…Come back here! Don't you dare to hide from me!" Inferno shouted, raged at her ways in a face to face battle, "Come out!!!" He shouted once again.
'Just need to reveal his weak spot…but where?' Rhea thoughted, while looking at her watch, 'It's ready, but I can't just randomly use it.' She take a deep breath and relaxed her body, feeling every parts of her body tensed. 'Alright. Let's do this. I cannot risk on losing. It costs my own life.'
"Come on out. Show yourself. Or I'll burst this little head in my hand!" Inferno said, trying to make Rhea come out from hiding, as he keeps walking near the ruins she's in, trying to catch glimpses of her, and see blue blurs. "Aha. Found ya, little Tempest." He grinned, walking to where blue blurs were left on. "Now, now. Where are you, little Tempest~" He sang, observing his surrounding carefully.
"Behind you." Rhea simply said and kicked his back, as his body stumbled a bit, she noticed the loose grips on the kid and was about to activates her Time Manipulation until blows were delivered to her, knocking her across the ruins. "Bahahaha!!! You think that would be enough to fool me? You calculated wrong, little Tempest!!!" Inferno laughed maniacally, enjoying Rhea's foolish idea.
Rhea coughed out blood, as it splattered on the ground. She hang her head, feeling every parts of her body torn apart just because one blow, 'Pathetic…' she thoughted, trying to gather all the energy to stand up. "C'mon! You won't fall just by that, right? If so, your death gonna be remembered as…A pathetic vigilante who try to beat the mighty Inferno!!" Inferno laughed, provoking her.
Noah was carrying groceries, until he saw the public screen, with crowds of peoples standing there, lots murmurs were heard from them, as it emitted confusion and worries about the news their seeing. Noah approached the crowds, looking at the news, he heard a couple murmurs about Rhea. 'Rhea? What's with her?' He thoughted, and tap a random stranger shoulder. "Ma'am. What's about Rhea Tempest? Did she do something?" He asked, as the woman he asked at pointed her index finger at the screen.
Noah immediately look towards the screen and almost popped his eyes out and dropped his jaw. "What is that girl doing?!" He shouted as his surrounding all looks at him. He realized people are staring an quickly apologies before running off to where Rhea's at. 'Sometimes this girl is more questionable than math problems!!' He thoughted, and quicken his pace.
"Oh my…I hope she didn't die…" Lily said as she stares at the news in front of her which is showing a zoomed scene of heavily injured Rhea who is still in the same positions, with Inferno standing in front of her.
"It's gonna be such a shame if she die…" She sighed, thinking on who she should pick to replace her. "You're not even worried for her, what the f*ck?!?!?!?" Someone from her phone shouted. "Oops, I forgot to end the call." Lily giggled and picked her phone up. "Don't end the call yet-" The person was about to protests until Lily ends the call. "Of course I'm worried. I just didn't show it." She uttered under her breath as she continue to stares at the news.
"Can't we save her or something? We can't just let her like that! Look, she's heavily injured!!" Victoria shouted on the phone, panicking, worried and scared to lose her. "Rest assured. My daughter is not weak. Victoria." Connor replied from the phone as he amusedly stared at the news in front of him, wanting to see a trick under her sleeves.
"What do you mean by "rest assured"?! I can't! She's slowly dying there, and you're telling me to rest assured?!" Victoria continues to shouted, forgetting her respectful manner. "Now, now. Would you please kindly lower your voice? And just see how this turns out. Victoria." Connor said calmly.
Victoria take a sharp inhale. "…Yes. I apologies…" She said, apologizing for raising her voice at him. "Good girl. Now please just see how this'll turn out. You'll be amazed in the end." Connor chuckled lightly. "I still don't understand what your tastes in amusement is…" Victoria mumbled under her breath. "I'm sure you won't be interest." Connor smiled. "Just please don't overdo Mistress Rhea's limit…" Victoria said, don't want things to always happens for Rhea.
"Of course I give my daughter a break. Victoria." Connor chuckled, "I somehow doubt that…" Victoria said, doubting him. "You're free to doubt me." Connor laughed, "I already is." Victoria face palmed. "Then, please excuse me. I have to do a few things regarding Rhea's current situations." Connor said, excusing himself. "Wait what? About Rhea-" She cut herself off when she heard the beeping sounds, meaning Connor has ended the call.
Inferno heard helicopter loud sounds above him. "Oi! Don't you dare to interfere our fight. I will bursts whoever head that's brave enough to get in between us!" He said, threatening those who wanted to interfere.
Rhea finally got enough energy to stand up, and when she stand up, she can feel Inferno's wicked aura. "You're awake now, little Tempest." He said and looks at the kid that's crying in his hand. "Won't you take this kid away from me?" He asked, trying to pick a nerve on Rhea. "…Just about to do that." Rhea smirked as she raised her head to look at him.
"What?" He questioned, staring at Rhea's beaten state. "You know…This is the first time I get beaten into this state." Rhea said suddenly, surprising him. "Just because you're a noble or something, doesn't mean someone cannot beat you to pulp." Inferno replied. "I know. I'm well aware of it." Rhea said, looking at him with his half lidded eyes. "Ugh! What's the point on talking to you? I don't like boring talk!" Inferno groaned, wanting her to do something more exciting.
Rhea noticed the loose grips on the kid, and take a quick glance on her watch. "You're the best opponent." Rhea smirked. "Huh? Oh, well. It can be accepted." Inferno said, already at the edge of drowning on Rhea's words.
Rhea smirked and quickly activated her Time Manipulation when he's distracted. "Play of words is nice." She scoffed and takes the kid away from his big hand. "Just need to take him away from here." She said and quickly ran to police who is blocking the way so the reporters won't brags in the area. She turned to the police who's doing nothing but spacing out, "Here you go sir." She said and opened the police's hands, putting the kid in the police's hands.
Rhea smiled a bit before running to Inferno. The time goes back normal, as Inferno stood there, shocked when he noticed the kid is not in his grips, while the police is surprised when they see the kid in their hands.
"What? How?!" Inferno shouted, staring at Rhea in surprised. "I got my own way." Rhea smirked smugly. "Why you!!" Inferno shouted, rushing at her, "Showtime." Rhea said and disappeared, making Inferno stopped in his track. "Where are you? Show yourself!" He demanded, looking around cautiously.
"You're standing right in my trap." Rhea said, reappearing inside the ruins, as she triggered the cards she spread when Inferno's not looking at her.
Rhea's card sparked out electricity, as it connected with another card, and another, until it covered the whole area Inferno's in. While Inferno looks confused on what's these connected electric is. "Haha, what the heck is this? This wouldn't even scratches me!" He said smugly, standing tall there when he doesn't see any harms.
"You've criminally underestimated me. Mister Inferno." Rhea voices echoes around him, "What?! Where are you?!" He shouted getting wary once again. "Around you." Rhea voices echoes once again as he feels stinging pain in his back. "What?" He muttered touching his back and see blood on his palm. 'What…?' He thoughted, fears reflected in his eyes.
Shortly, all the connected electricity flashes blue, as he suddenly inflicted damages. "Guh…!" He cough out blood, falling to his knees, 'How…?' He asked, himself, felling every parts of his body harshly torn out. And the last thing he see before collapsing was Rhea's foot facing the opposite way of him.
"You win this round, little Tempest…" He muttered lowly, enough for her to hear him. "I know." Rhea replied, and suddenly feels lightheaded after all these movement. "Seems like I'm worn out too…" She chuckled lightly as her body slowly falls to the ground, slowly drifting off to deep slumbers.
'The fight…It got witnessed by peoples…I'm doom…'
