Luis vs Anger and Mikey vs Heresey, Part 3

"Hah! I'll burn through your flames!" Mikey snorts as he brings his right fist up, igniting it in his Flames of Destruction. Mere seconds before Mikey can be scorched by Heresy's Heretic Phoenix, Mikey launches his flaming black fist forwards…

But Heresy's phoenix does the unthinkable.

With a mighty flap of its wing, Heresy's phoenix turns towards the sky and flies upwards, soaring into the air and dodging Mikey's attack.

"What the-" Mikey asks as he peers up at Heresy's phoenix, using his hand to shield his eyes from the dull orange sun in the stormy red sky. "That bird alive, or something?"

Heresy's phoenix then angles its beak at Mikey, and with a mighty flap of its wings; soars downwards towards Mikey, flying down towards Mikey like an arrow, in the form of a fearsome dive-bomb attack.

Mikey ignites his right fist in his Flames of Destruction and chambers it…waiting.

Mikey waits and waits as Heresy's phoenix streaks towards him, and mere seconds before Heresy's phoenix can blast into Mikey, Mikey launches his fist outwards, attempting to punch through Heresey's phoenix and send it flyin'.

But just as before, and much to Mikey's surprise, Heresy's phoenix ducks down low, swooping under Mikey's attack, before circling around Mikey until Heresy's Phoenix is aimed towards Mikey's back.

With a mighty flap of its wings; Heresy's phoenix then flies forwards again, towards Mikey's back. And before Mikey can counter or even turn around, Heresy's phoenix flies through Mikey, piercing him like an arrow, and engulfing Mikey's entire body into Heresy's dark red blaze.

Mikey then drops to the ground, blood rushing out of the gaping, burning wound in the center of his chest.

"Not bad, Flames of Destruction wielder, but your fire is rough, undefined," Heresy says as his phoenix and the flames engulfing Mikey extinguish.

"Dammit…" Mikey grunts as he struggles to his feet.

"I'll finish this now," Heresy says as he creates another phoenix which he shoots towards Mikey again. "Dante's Inferno: Heretic Phoenix!"

"Your attack isn't nearly strong enough to be your ace-in-the-whole," Mikey comments as he watches Heresy's phoenix fly towards him. "Your bird's only strength is its unpredictable movements and your full control over it!"

Heresy's phoenix continues flying towards Mikey, but Mikey doesn't move.

"If you aren't going to at least try to block or dodge my Heretic Phoenix, then my Heretic Phoenix will just shoot you right in the chest!" Heresy shouts.

Mikey ignites his right fist in his Flames of Destruction and chambers it, waiting until Hersey's phoenix is directly before Mikey, and that's when he launches his flaming black fist forwards.

"My phoenix will just dodge your attack again!" Heresy shouts as -just like before- Heresy's phoenix ducks down low, swooping under Mikey's attack, before circling around Mikey until Heresy's Phoenix is aimed towards Mikey's back.

But that's when Mikey's lips curl up into a sinister smile.

"Flames of Destruction…"

"CREMATION CEREMONY!"

***

"So he's a half demon?" Anger cries. "That makes things make sense…I can't afford to hold back anymore!"

All of the water in the murky, swampy lake then begins to pull away from shore and come together, rising into the air and forming a giant wave of brown water, until I'm staring up at a tsunami dozens of feet tall.

"Grand Marsh Domain: Angry Tsunami!"

"Oh crap…" I whimper.

As Anger's tsunami begins to fall down towards me, I counter by chambering my right hand, as wind begins swirling around it.

"Wind Control: Spirit Storm!" I shout as I launch my right hand outwards, unleashing a powerful blast of wind which flies towards Anger's stunami in an attempt to push it back, But when my Spirit Storm comes in contact with Anger's tsunami… nothing happens. Anger's tsunami overwhelmed my powerful gust of wind, remaining unscathed and unblown away by my attack.

"Crap, well that didn't work…" I grumble.

Anger's giant, murky brown tsunami of swamp water then crashes down upon me, knocking me instantly off of my feet and carrying me into the undertow.

I open my eyes, seeing that I'm being carried around in dozens of feet of water, benign knocked into trees, whipped by vines and bitten by alligators. My blue demon blood begins staining in murky waters.

I frantically flail my arms in an attempt to swim up to the surface, but the current of the tsunami is too strong, and I don't budge. All I can do is hang on tight as I'm battered by the powerful tsunami.

I attempt to hold my breath, but after a couple of minutes, I'm out of oxygen, causing me to instinctively open my mouth and to take a big gulp of air…only to instead be met by bloody swamp water filling my lungs.

"Dammit…can't breathe…" I think to myself as I slowly close my eyes. "But I can't lose…not when there's so many important things on the line…"

"How do you feel, Blue Demon?" Anger cackles. "You talk big, for someone who can't even face the Fifth Circle of Hell!"

"That's right…I'm fighting Anger, the Fifth Circle of Hell…while my friends are out there fighting the Sixth Circle of Hell, the Seventh Circle of Hell, and even the Ninth Circle of Hell, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!" I think to myself.

***

A rush of black fire then explodes out of Mikey's body, engulfing his entire frame. So when Heresy's phoenix attempts to strike Mikey again, it's instead engulfed by Mikey's Flames of Destruction, which then do as their name suggests; burning Heresy's phoenix to a crisp.

"You…melted my fire with your own flames?!" Heresy cries.

"My fire is the flames of my anger…the Flames of Destruction, afterall!" Mikey roars.

"And now…to end this!" Mikey shouts as he draws both pistols, and aims their barrels at Heresy, charging up a giant fireball between the barrels of his dual pistols.

Black Flames of Destruction then begin flickering around Mikey's shoulder, before traveling down Mikey's arms, to his hands, then past his pistols, and then finally; the fireball resting between the barrel of his Mikey's pistols. Mikey's Flames of Destruction wrap around Mikey's fireball, turning it into a pitch black fireball with a bright orange and yellow core, greatly strengthening Mikey's attack

"Those flames…" Heresy says. "They're undignified, unrefined! I'm a master at wielding fire, you just use brute force! I can't lose to you! I shouldn't lose to you!"

"You already lost the second I challenged you!" Mikey roars.

"Flames of Destruction…"

 "EARTH-CORE CANNON!"

Mikey then pulls the trigger of his dual pistols, sending his giant Flames of Destruction fireball flying towards Hersey, streaking through the air like a rogue phoenix. Not knowing what to do, Heresy brings his arms up and whimpers and cowers in fear, already having accepted defeat.

Mikey's fireball blasts into Heresy in a giant explosion of fire, engulfing Heresy in a rush of black flames, who screams in pain. When Mikey finally allows for his Flames of Destruction to fizzle out, Heresy's limp body falls to the ground, charred completely black from Mikey's flames.

Defeated.

Mikey drops to the ground on one knee, panting heavily and clutching the bleeding hole in his chest.

"Damn…I got too ahead of myself…" he grunts. "I should be conserving my strength."

"HOW CAN I LOOK THEM IN THE EYES IF I LOSE TO ONLY THE FIFTH CIRCLE OF HELL?!"

Finding my second wind despite my lack of oxygen, a giant rush of dark blue Cursed Power then explodes out of my body, before turning into wind, and morphing into a giant hurricane circling around my entire body, spanning dozens of feet tall.

As my hurricane continues spinning, the powerful sucking force of my wind begins attracting Anger's swamp water, which is blown into the air in a spiraling fashion thanks to my hurricane, then merges with my wind; creating a twister spiraling around me.

I then grasp my katana tightly between both of my hands as I bring it into the air, my hurricane fusion of water and wind swirling around my katana.

"What the…you stole my water!" Anger snaps as she stares up at my giant twister.

"Well you can have it back!" I roar. "Wind Control…"

"DRAGON TWISTER SLASH!"

With a roar, I swing my katana towards Anger, sending a powerful blade of condensed water and wind flying towards her in the form of a giant wave, sending Anger's tsunami right back to where it came from.

"You think my own attack can hurt me?!" Anger cackles as she holds both hands up towards my attack, as if trying to regain control of her Cursed Power and stop the attack. But…nothing happens.

"What?! Why isn't it working?!" Anger cries.

"BECAUSE MY CURSED POWER IS STRONGER THAN YOURS!" I roar.

My Dragon-Twister Slash then blasts into Anger in a powerful rush of Cursed Power, wrapping Anger up in a giant tsunami. By the time that my attack subsidies; Anger is lying on the ground…defeated.

I drop to the ground on one knee, panting heavily, as Anger's Grand Marsh Domain around me begins dissipating back into Anger's aquamarine Cursed Power, bringing us back to the city landscape.

"Good…now I can finally go rescue Daniel…" I pant.
