WELL UNDERWAY IV (Ch. 123)

An Implosion of 'Force', subsequent of the internal collapse of a Pseudo Domain, a total blinding wipeout exercised in a massive release of destructive 'Force' in a wave. The result?, Bodies littered on the ground unconscious. Mari barely holding unto hers is spent, with Abel on a knee couching blood while his chest lurches violently. Mari staggers to her feet in anticipation of further retaliation. Abel staggers away picking Cain up as he sprints jumping from building to building unempowered,

(His 'Force' cycle must've been affected, he won't be able to empower his 'Force' arts for a while, that should make him much less a threat) she ponders momentarily as she drops onto her back allowing darkness to take her in.

Konan aided by the seized drones surveys the battle field, watching intently as the two sides clashed, now somewhat equated in number they we're still outmatched in one pivotal aspect,

"Quality" he murmurs, " The ethos of Kinetic Shift in it's essentially favored humanity in it's natural, a race concerned with individuality, personal survival, by nature one of selfish intent,

"If something doesn't change soon..." He trails turning to spectate the close encounter between Dealer's sword and the RUNAWAYS gate.

 (I need to end this) Tobi mules having taken several quick glances towards the state of battle, Warden with his Auxiliary creates a  ring shielding others from interfering, despite his size and belief in his ability Tobi knee there'd only be one way to end this bout quickly, to play to the teen's code of honour.

"Let's end this" Tobi Declares igniting his Defence technique as he takes a slightly new martial stance, 

"I'll humor" Warden replies igniting his ATTUNED arts,

(Good, those rings are gone, the boundary he set is still there though, luckily it's not being constantly empowered, that, i'll need to break) Tobi ponders  leaning away from Warden's straight as he spring up on his heel into a viscous side kick, Warden catches it on his lower arm pressing for a a quick jab and upper cut combo, Tobi matches the first exercising his exquisite control as he switches momentarily to his Striker then beats his fist into Warden's elbow redirecting the blow with the ricochet of his shockwave, Warden stifles a groan moving his left arm to guard as Tobi spins into a striker empowered back kick that blasts him back forcing him to kick his legs heel first to offset the push force, he'd be given no room for rest as Tobi presses with momentum favouring him, switching momentarily to his Enforcer his fist is met with Warden's who's ATTUNED arts guarantee superior physicality, a one inch punch with perfect execution of muscle shifting basics forces Tobi nearly to his knees as coughs violently, much like he'd done his opponent gives no time for reprieve forcing Tobi meet Warden's fist in a titanic display of strength, 

(My body can't hold out much longer) he frowns. Warden had noticed, achieving his ATTUNED arts had drastically limited the expense of 'Force' required to empower his arts, in a battle of attrition,

"I'll win" he states watching as his opponent meets his stare with a ferocious glare, "round three i guess" Warden grins.

Daniel with his back to Bradley watch their opponents with steeled hearts, not in the absence of fear, but necessity of courage. Both Empowered their 'Force' arts, both took their stances for combat, Daniel with his unified combination technique of both Striker and Enforcer: Bullet, a technique that enables it's user fill and compress muscles with 'Force' to maximize violent bursts in movement and strength, and Bradley with his Enforcer: Breathing muscle, a 'Force' art that converts oxygen to 'Force', which strengthens the muscles, as long as the user draws breath, they draw strength. 

Together they advanced, Daniel blurs meeting the abnormally long titanium reinforced steal bar,

(A spear master perhaps) he mules, with a sharp kick giving no chance for it to coil around his leg, the man similar in size to Tobi crashes his fist at the recovering Daniel who leans away as Bradley takes the impact switching quickly to his Defence: Mass point, an art that allows the user store the attack damage received into a point of mass outside themselves then detonate it on release. Bradley replies in kind crashing his fist into his opponents jaw, though physically weaker, the regurgitation of impact left the arrogant combatant staggering, moving to press he's pulled back by Daniel as a long legged lady with tied black hair whips her leg ferociously across his intended path. Bradley accepts the blow turning to take the nunchuck now realigned as a pole's strike, the 'Force' coated pole releasing back to a nunchuck attempting to catch an arm, Daniel who'd matched the lady kick for kick to her shock suddenly blurs back transitioning into a back heel kick that strikes the head of the first three foot long nunchuck pole, 

(We might be weaker) Bradley grins igniting his Striker technique: Mass point, his imprinted 'Force' cycled to it's peak heeds his call as he crashes his fist toward's the man who positions the third end of the nunchuck to take the brunt,

(But our teamwork is blood forged) Daniel mules ducking under the man's vicious striker induced blow as he counters with a high knee, 

(Their team work is immaculate, both their weak, break the rhythm and...) The woman mules spinning into a vicious striker empowered Brazilian kick that snakes around her comrades skull and against Daniel's knee. The latter bites back a scream putting pressure to his rattled knee to wrestle the pain, nevertheless he presses on aware of the consequence of giving up momentum, 

"Bradley!" He shouts as the big bodied teen crashes his fist against his opponents guard forcing him back despite his similar advancement level, superior destructive power meeting superior technical mastery, 

(Fuck he's tied, i need to take one of them out now!).

Nathan blurs ATTUNED arts empowered, moving to dispatch Jayson, Yanick's strike from behind bearly rattles the zombie bodied teen who moves to strike his opponent irrespective of the hindrances, Jayson switches to an Auxiliary and Enforcer combination relying on his heightened speed yo kite the opponent bearly dodging a wave of 'Force' coating of Nathan's claws aimed to his eyes, the pressure mounts as Nathan spins abruptly with James lifting his titanium batton up just in tine to catch the sickening strike that leaves is heavily marked, Jayson blurs to intercept his follow up but Nathan forces him back striking his ATTUNED art empowered leg down against the ground as he releases a wave of out 'Force' that distabilizes Jayson, Yanick digs his feet ankle deep spinning in place as he sends a bolder sized piece of the ground flying at Nathan with a kicking motion, Yanick blurs following closely behind the boulder, watching as a swipe in a clawlike manner shreds the bolder in five distinct lines, each a finger's work, Yanick spears into Nathan's chest locking him as mili seconds later Jayson blurs sweeping his legs from under him as James's rises high, unified ATTUNED art empowered with his Auxiliary art included as his 'Force' coated titanium batton explode upon connecting against Nathan's chin.
