Shocking Beatdown

Thunder Fang had now grasped a swift upper hand in this battle as he consistently trapped the flexible opponent with the unbound electricity vines strangling her hands. An excruciating growl from Chemistra echoed across the whole arena due to the more time she endured the thunder-shocking torment.

The enlightened pear-yellow eyes began to flicker like a dying lamp and steamy smoke flew out all over Chemistra's staggering body. A steamy smoke breached mostly from the gaping lines located on the stomach and leg parts, raising a frantic furrow.

Whereas her comrade Agano was recently covered throughout, immobilized body by the yellowish energy like a transparent blanket, originating from the "Awakening" paper card latched on his palm. The blanket-like energy vanished and blessed him a chance to feel a movement as he slowly raised his body without any prevention.

At last, Agano could regain a steady standing position again with his feet didn't feel crumbling. The Onmyouji sighed in relief after he pinned the calm sight onto his hand, smoothly flipped around, and rubbed for testing the motion.

"Finally, I can stand up again." Agano murmured with a gladful tone, "Which is a good thing for now."

The Onmyouji pinned the heedful sight at his comrade, Chemistra who remained trapped by the shocking veins from afar. His grip omitted yellowish energy that reforged into the newest paper card especially with him caught a glimpse of The Chemist howling scream went lower.

A paper card with the black ink Kanji said "Reflect" was the suitable choice for Agano in facing this condition. Hence, The Onmyouji patched the card on his left forehand and declared a step to moving forward.

Chemistra yellow light within her eyes slowly faded into nothing and the metal body began to feel frozenly-motionless. The needle fingers went into a full paralyzed state and the yellowish light shimmering her body dimmed out, revealing the grey color of her

The Oni Guy sharp-sight noticed his opponent started falling into an unconscious state. Hence Thunder Fang called forth the hovering steel for reuniting with the missing piece like a magnetic object.

Thunder Fang thrust the clenching metal hand to a punching position towards his motionless opponent. A fist that would determine the valuable victory of this battle against Chemistra

"Sorry Chemist, I have to end this fight right now." Thunder Fang announced with a deep tone.

"You're a very skillful switcheroo, I admit that." Thunder Fang added with a praising demeanor.

Thunder Fang quickly plunged the metal hand onto Chemistra who remained staggering like a rag doll, but his hearing captured the sound of a gun being fired from the left. In rushing moment, The Oni Guy launched the punching metal hand to literally part away from him, vastly bouncing his bulky body away from.

He witnessed the energized bullet narrowly passing by his feet as its striking presence left a small scratch mark and tiny splashes of blood before fleeing aimlessly. While the metal hand-pounded Chemistra on the stomach like a heavy stone and a large cracking line erupted on her surroundings.

At first, the screeching growl was let out from Chemistra's unyielding throat and staggered to get up with the hefty force of metal hand gave her. Punching the hand and forcing either the metal feet or stomach was proven a meaningless effort for her to get up.

Thus, The Chemist succumbed to an unconscious state by resting both of her legs and punching her fist on the rough floor. Her eventual defeat was witnessed by Agano from afar, encouraging him to swallow the gulping saliva.

Startling sough was blown away through Thunder Fang's throat for witnessing Agano walk closer in his direction. Hence, he lifted the missing-part arm that made the metal hand pounding pull onto its master direction like a magnetic object.

The metal hand swiftly reattached once again with the missing part and shortly brought a gladful chuckle from Thunder Fang's throat. The Oni Guy upraised both of the energized hands onto the sky above view, soaring a pitch-black thunderbolt chaining all of the fingers.

Moreover, Thunder Fang clapped down his energized hands onto the ground and summoned two tremoring bolts from above. The spawning spots were tagged by the large strings behind and the right side of the stoic Agano.

The striking bolt vastly pummeled Agano with its blitzing steps, leaving no free gap on the right side and his back as he grunted in annoyance towards the striking presence. The paper card calmly latched on his hand triggered feathery yellowish energy to cover The Onmyouji like a barrier.

The wavering entrance of Agano's barrier hindered the access for the lightning bolt on touching skin even in the slightest part. Therefore, the lightning bolts dispersed into nothing without any resemblance of traces left after striking the impervious barrier that soon vanished due to the paper card with the label named "Reflect" sudden incineration.

The side effect of the feathery paper card was blessed onto Thunder Fang as his body abruptly ricocheted far away from The Onmyouji sight. An agonizing, yet thundering growl was announced across the arena especially with The Oni Guy crashing down on the ground near the barrier, creating circular concreted lines below.

Agano alleviatingly sighed when he glared the heedful sight towards his bulky opponent who was still staggering to stand up before redirecting the attention onto Chemistra. The Onmyouji ran forward and omitted yellowish energy on the palm of his hand that morphed into the newest paper card, strapped on two of his scissor-like grip

"Awaken" black ink Kanji was implemented as the newest paper card side effect with Agano continuing the approaching steps towards Chemistra who was still trapped within an unconscious state. The Onmyouji flipped the paper card and tossed it aside at his comrade, safely latching on the metal hand.

Blanket-like barrier embarked through over Chemistra laid down body that made the paper card evaporate into ashes, flickering out the barrier at the same time. The pear-yellow light began to shine within The Chemist's eyes like morning sun and her finger could be lifted once again.

Chemistra quickly raised her body into a steady standing position and rubbed her needle fingers that became smooth to move. A realization went up through her eyes due to the metal body having received a buff, especially with her glaring at the yellowish sparkles that flew from the metal hand.

The Chemist steered the thankful eyes at Agano who greeted with a welcoming chuckle. She gave The Onmyouji a firm nod before she stepped forward to gain a crystal clear look on Thunder Fang from afar.

Agano sheepishly chortled towards Chemistra who walked past him and tapped the blue button to transition the color of the light from yellow into sea-blue. Onmyouji also crossed his arm with his reluctant shaking as a lingering thought of Sparror might be here invaded his mind.

"If there is Sparror in here, this fight will be easier to handle," Agano exclaimed.

"Yes possibly, but let's focus on this problem first." Chemistra countered with an irritated tone. "Remember the hero of Neo Tokyo City is not only him, Agano."

The Onmyouji chuckled, "I'm just trying blurting out stuff to refresh my mind. Especially on facing this threat."

"Whatever you say, I don't care." Chemistra bluntly replied.

Both of the heroes sharpened their cautious stare towards their nigh-unstoppable enemies, Thunder Fang. Furthermore, Chemistra and Agano caught The Oni Guy sluggishly lifting his kneecaps onto a standing position.

The Onmyouji heedfully opened his grip for siphoning feathery yellow energy that morphed into another paper card. Observing Thunder Fang who almost regained his stands, raised Agano cautiousness by swiping away the paper card on the left side.

"Chemistra, let's just play more defensive right now," Agano warned with a chilling voice. "Based on what I observed before, he is a type of fighter that is quite good at facing an aggressive fighter like you."

"Besides, not all rushing first always tactic will work," Agano added with a teasing demeanor.

Chemistra rolled her eyes and grunted, "Fine…fine. Let's hope your defensive tactic will be more effective against this enemy."

"I'm sure it will work." Agano assured and presumed with a sorrowful tone, "But, if it fails…I might need..to use..."

"The distraction method, right?" Chemistra guessed.

Agano reluctantly nodded, "Very..correct."

Afterward, the heroes took a cautious glance at Thunder Fang who regained the standing position once again. The shocking match between the current heroes of Neo Tokyo City and the monstrous figther presumed. Even though Sparror didn't attend this fight due to having his own break time, Chemistra and Agano still locked their bold conviction on stopping this threat once and for all.

On the deeper side within The Sakura Forest, there was a circle of wide space being occupied by many two stories wooden houses which mostly had a wooden brown interior and jade scally-motif rooftop. The place was none other than Yukitoshi Village with each of the houses having a variety for the sticker being patched on the front door.

The sticker motif being picked for each of the front doors in this village area was based on the Yokai or mythical creature in Rising Sun culture. Such examples of the motif were like turtle boy who widely opened the predatory fang, a snowy-white kimono woman with lime-blue hair who blew a chilling air, and crimson-skin burly Oni man that dropped a burst of glorious laughter.

The village itself in this period of time was serenely quiet as there were few villagers that could be seen on the outside view that was filled with a cotton-white land. Mostly the villagers that decided to spend a sunny afternoon time were children happily running or chasing each other.

One of the houses that remained hush this afternoon was the house on the very corner of the left side. A house with an orange humanoid man wearing a kimono and having a head like a fox became the chosen sticker, greeting the guest with a gentle smile.

More specifically, a sign of activity occurred inside the house's second floor on the backside that had a view of a clean blue lake across the village. The room was none other than the bedroom where Hatoshi, who wore a short grass-green kimono, traced his drawing within the white paper that was filled by a rough sketch in a crossed sitting position.

Moreover, he sat beside a large white blanket that became his sleeping place and it was shared by someone important. The person was none other than Yuna who wore a short sakura-pink kimono, still calmly sleeping with a soothing smile shining through her face.

Today's drawing topic to fill his sorrowful boredom as his eyes illuminated a yellow light similar to Sparror was about Thunder Fang's battle against the heroes Neo Tokyo City. Furthermore, the drawing foretold about Thunder Fang in his Oni form valiantly pressing his kneecaps and propelling a striking fist toward the heroes.

The heroes consisted of Agano tossing his paper card and Chemistra rushed forward on her enemy alongside the chemical fingers hoisted. However, Sparror was included for this drawing as he levitated on the sky with the dragon-like wing construct patch on the back.

The schoolboy closed the pondering lips and his tracing hand constantly shaking the more he glared at the picture of his own creation. The scorching presence of a lingering flame wave spawned through Hatoshi's other hand before it faded away when he peeked at it.

Hatoshi rested down the pencil as his tracing on the hand part of Thunder Fang was completed. The shaking hand of the schoolboy went more aggressive even though he had already finished his rough-sketch drawing, winced in a gloomy demeanor.

"I guess….I really cannot take a short break from the Superhero world." Hatoshi muttered through his mind, "Especially with the recent news about Thunder Fang…it really encouraged me to become Sparror."

A reluctant sigh blew away from Hatoshi's throat and stretched back his back from the rough-sketch artwork. He gave a pondering gaze towards the shabby dark-brown interior above, closing his eyes shortly.

Then, the schoolboy opened surprised eyes as he felt a gentle touch, wrapped around his stomach. Hatohshi slowly steered his sight behind that caught Yuna who had already awakened from the serene sleep, hugging him and expanding a cheery smirk.

The yellow light within Hatoshi's eyes vanished as he succumbed to a comforting hug influence and smile from his lovely partner for the rest of his life
