25. CODEY'S SUPERIOR ATTACK!

Mickee's katana was ripped from his hand due to a piece of crystal as it was quickly trapped in a huge rock of crystals. Tanaki grabbed his hand and closed it. In a quick addition, the crystals, they exploded into a dazzling light that bounced Mickee off the line of the environment. His Zero Shield dissipated as he bounced off the floor and rolled, dust obscuring the surroundings as everyone looked on in surprise. "Are you kidding! His signature move is called 'Solid Limipid'!? That move is insane, is that Ginken the highest ranked in strength." Questioned Codey once shaking in surprise. "Yeah. and Codey. because he won the fight. it means. that you're up against him in the second round of dueling." Tim explained, once hearing such words, Codey was caught in fear. "I....I will have to fight him. is... is this. a joke... my wind. I don't see how it would affect his power!"

[The next day of the challenge]

|Zero World - Hinomaru Area, C.A.C. Arena - Thursday, 9:30 a.m.|

Tim and the others were waiting, once waiting for the next few duels. "I don't see him winning this fight.... he's strong, but opponent... such as Tanaki. He's going to struggle." Explained Ayuka while scratching her ear. Between her explanation, Tim faced to the battlefield seriously. "... What I've seen... he is very capable, but his wind attacks won't have much of an effect against Tanaki's crystalization.... but... if he manages... I'll be glad to see him, rank up to the top..." "Tim... Ayuka... there is something I've been thinking about." Both, Tim and Ayuka faced Sayori and became confused. "What do you mean?" With a head turn, Tim swapped his body to turn. "You see, when I was spying on the Demons and their leader... the leader spoke something about a son.... there was this itch in my body... because, whenever I look at thay boy.... he seems to have very simmilar face to the leader... and the leader was explaining something about using his power to their advantage... so the itch was... that... the person who he is looking for... is... Codey Katorishi...." Ayuka and Tim both faced at her. "Hey! Slow down! You can't be so sure just yet. He hasn't done something suspicious... I don't see the reason why would the Demon leader search for him.... I see his strength...but what are these powers of his truly about... there may be more to him than just pure wind and great accuracy... however... we should spectate and see deeper into him... who knows... maybe he is wanted..." Tim explained. "Tim's right. We should not think him as our enemy... not until we have enough clues..." Ayuka agreed to what Tim spoke and nodded. "Yeah... suppose that's better...."

Then unfortunately, Tanaki and Codey both faced each other. ("I've seen how strong he really is... if I get caught in one of his stronger attacks... I will lose... however... a fight is not a proper fight without trying.... which means... no matter how strong the opponent is... you try and fight...") Thinking carefuly, Codey quickly looked at his palm once closed it. "I see... so I've gotta beat down a whimp.... this will be gorgeous...." With proud and hasty smile Tanaki quickly raised his arms once the gauntlets came growing and shaping around his both hands. Right after such event, Codey called out his Ginken. "Anarchy!" With a loud called everyone called. "Anarchy... is... is that the name of his Ginken?" Tim gave his look at Ayuka. "Yes, it seems so... quite a medium rare... such elegence..." "But I suppose a name of the sword must mean something.." "Yes... that's right... however... many Ginkens are titled by one word... such as Ginken.... the name includes two words... first one, being Silver, this word is 'GIN', the other one a sword...'KEN', this name was given to Ginkens because they are crafted from a Silverium.. a very defensive metal... and 'KEN' because swords are the most used weapons, crafted with silverium." Ayuka quickly explained, hearing the countdown, everybody faced towards the starting duel. ("So much... there is still so many things I need to be told...") Thoughtfully wondered Tim, once sitting down.

The counter counted down. With an initial smile, Tanaki hit the ground and fired crystals at Codey in the first attack. With a bow and a quick procedure, the wind appeared around Codey's legs, with a double jump into the air, Codey exploded in the air and surrounded by wind. The crystals curled as they rose as Codey's clothes and hair waved, he watched patiently and acutely as he saw the shadow beneath him. He quickly looked over himself and noticed that the crystal had grown out of the arena's wall. With Codey's eyes surprised, the crystal hit Codey directly in the back. During the blast, Codey turned and swung his boomerang. But accidentally, the one boomerang bounced off the crystal and hit Codey in the stomach, with a wind wave, Codey was shaken to the ground as he collapsed. With nervous aches and stress, Codey quickly looked up into the air and noticed a crystal dagger ready for the stab. He quickly rolled to the side and with force the crystal hit the door. With a rolling reversal, Codey quickly landed on his feet, but at that moment, the crystal collapsed behind him, knocking Codey forward. With a brave smile, Tanaki prepared a fist and ran towards Codey. The rising crystals inexorably launched attacks on Codey, repelling him right, left, up and down as the penultimate crystal knocked Codey into his back in the air. In pain and scratches, Codey fell to the ground with his head, but that was not all. Tanaki crystallized his right hand and swung forward with all his might. The fist reflection in Codey's eyes shook and he was caught in astonishment.

Huge fist, violent, extremely sharp and hard. Tanaki, with a quick hit, gave a smile and a punch. After the last landslides, the ground quickly began to give away and break. The fist of Tanaki hardened and endowed Codey with great force of pain, his face spitted out blood. From the pressure of power and task, the ground beneath both warriors broke, Codey was blown back and with the earthy energy of the waves, immediately raged toward Codey through the breaking ground, Codey spilled and spun through the air, at a brisk speed as his outer garments tore. Viewers were surprised, even the announcer. This attack was something no one expected.

"Stay sharp!" Codey's memories flowed back once he barely felt his face, the shield was still somehow kept together... however, he was nearing the edge of line.

Codey's superior opponent escavated the battlefield. The brute force and muscles overcame Codey's body. Unable to proceed in attack, Codey is now found flying through the air of the great unknown. Will his body be able to withstand, will he be thrown out of the field... or... will he be victorious?

To be continue...
