Luis and Mikey vs War, Part 3

War then launches both fists outwards, slamming them into Mikey and I and sending us crashing to the ground in a giant explosion of rainbow Cursed Power and blood.

Our blood.

The force of War's punches causes giant cracks to spread across the ground like branching rivers, starting from the crater in the ground formed from where War slams Fraud into the pavement. War's earthquake spreads miles in every direction, absolutely decimating the surrounding infrastructure.

"Had enough, boys?" War cackles as she struggles to pull her fists out of the crater in the ground.

"Tell me, demon, why do you fight?" Mikey asks.

"Why does that matter now?!" I snap.

"Answer my question and I'll give you the secret key to victory," Mikey answers, causing me to sigh.

"I fight because if I don't…who else will?" I explain. "Constantly nagging me in the back of my mind are the words that Nick always used to say to me; "You have the potential to become strong, stronger than anyone else." At first, it was simple. I was powerless to do anything as a demon attacked my family, and if Nick hadn't shown up… we all would have died. So I knew that I needed to become strong, to grow strong enough so that something like that could never happen ever again. But the stronger I grew…the more people I met and the more friends I made. And thus; my circle of who to protect grew even larger."

"I see…" Mikey replies. "Well then…you seem to hold a better motivation to fight than my petty revenge." Black Flames of Destruction then rush out of Mikey's body before flying over to me, engulfing me in the black blaze. But strangely enough…the flames don't hurt.

"Dammit, Mikey…what are you doing?!" I cry.

"You have your own words from Nick echoing in the back of your mind, and I have mine," Mikey explains, causing my eyes to widen. "In the back of my mind, I can hear Nick constantly saying how your wind will strengthen my flames, resulting in something even greater than what the two of us can muster up all by ourselves."

"WELL THEN, DEMON, FIGHT AND GIVE ME AN ANSWER!" Mikey shouts. "SHOW ME WHAT NICK WAS SAYING TO ME ALL THESE YEARS, SHOW ME THE STRENGTH THAT YOUR WIND CAN BRING OUT OF MY FLAMES WHEN THE TWO OF US COMBINE OUR ABILITIES!"

War hums to herself as she continues strutting away from Mikey and I, but when she feels a giant, ominous burst of Cursed Power explode from behind her, War pauses. "What…was that?!" War cries as she spins around, seeing Mikey still lying on the ground, as I slowly push myself up to my feet.

Mikey's flames flicker around my body as I begin entering my Blue Demon mode, and as I do, Mikey's black Flames of Destruction wrap around me, forming a coat of fire, with embers flickering off of the tails of the coat. My normally-blue veins then begin to darken and turn purple, like a fusion of mine and Mikey's Cursed Power.

"What the Hell did you do?!" War cries.

"As Nick always said, when we combine the demon's wind and my flames…the resulting solution is something even greater than the demon and I can come up with on our own," Mikey replies, and then the two of us roar in unison:

"BLACK-FIRE DEMON!"

I bring my katana high into the air above my head, wrapping a tornado around its blade before spreading the flaming coat wrapped around my body to the tip of my hand and then into the blade of my katana, spreading the black flames across my blade and forming a flaming tornado, crackling with purple Cursed Power.

With a roar, I then swing my flaming katana downwards, slamming it into the ground, and sending shockwaves of purple Cursed Power and flaming wind towards War.

"Invincisphere: Bubble Shield!" War cries as she brings both arms up in a cross to block, but when my shockwaves of purple Cursed Power and flaming wind slam into War, they break through War's Invincisphere bubble with ease, engulfing War in yet another flaming tornado. "Dammit…" War grunts in pain as she's scorched up by my attack.

I then charge War, leaving nothing but a blazing trail in my wake. And by the time that my flaming tornado wrapped around War dissipates, I'm already standing before War, with my katana raised high above my head, its blade coated in flaming wind and crackling with purple Cursed Power, causing War's eyes to widen.

MIkey smirks at War. "Anyone who has tried to kill the Blue Demon before knows that his sword can slash through anything, even Cursed Power itself!" 

"The Cursed Power of the Blue Demon and the black Flames of Destruction from Hell are resonating…" War says to herself. "I'VE NEVER SEEN A MONSTER WITH SUCH STRENGTH BEFORE!"

With a roar, I slam my katana down into War in a giant explosion of purple Cursed Power and flaming wind, slashing War with my blade and sending the demon flying backwards as a rush of blood bursts from her chest.

I then charge War again, reinforcing my entire body with purple Cursed Power to get in close in the blink of an eye. In response, War reinforces her entire body with her rainbow Cursed Power as well, as she recovers herself mid air.

War and I then each let out our own battle cry as we shower one another with thousands of blows at once, faster than the naked eye can see, exchanging hundreds upon hundreds of Cursed Power reinforced punches, kicks, elbows, headbuts, from War, each blow coated with multiple layers of her Invincisphere bubbles, and hundreds upon hundreds of flaming katana slashes from me, each one stronger than the last.

"There's…nothing else I can do now, without my Flames of Destruction…" Mikey softly says to himself. "All I can do is sit here and watch…"

I slash War with flaming katana, who counters by bringing up an Invinciphere coated fist to block. I then slice my flaming katana towards War again, slashing the demon faster than she can react, and causing blood to burst from War's wound, causing the demon's eyes to widen.

"He…he's keeping up with me?!" War cries.

"INFERNO CONTROL-" I roar as I aim both hands at War, my right hand swirling with dark-blue wind and my left hand crackling with pitch-black flames. "YIN-YANG SCREAM!"

I launch my blasts of wind and fire, the two attacks spinning and merging together and blasting into War -who creates multiple layers of her Invincisphere in order to defend- in a giant explosion of wind and flames.

I then swipe my wind-cloaked and flaming hands upwards, creating a hurricane of fire and wind around War.

"INFERNO CONTROL: HELLFIRE HURRICANE!"

On the inside of my flaming hurricane, War is slashed by my winds and scorched by my flames. Meanwhile, I crouch down low into a running stance and engulf the blade of my katana in flames and wind, as well as my legs and ankles.

"INFERNO CONTROL: SKY GOD'S EXHAUST PIPE!" I roar as I use the wind and flames wrapped around my ankles to propel myself through my flaming hurricane and into the air towards War, slashing her with my flaming katana as I pass by War, before landing on the ground behind her.

War falls to the ground as well, in an explosion of blood.

"WAAARRRRR!!!!!!!" I roar as I bring my katana hugh into the air above my head again, clutching it tightly between both of my hands as I wrap another flaming tornado around my purple Cursed Power reinforced blade. "I'LL END THIS BATTLE HERE!"

"INFERNO CONTROL: DEMON GOD'S FLAME KATANA!"

With a roar, I swing my katana downtowards War with all of my might. In response, War stares up at me with fear in her eyes, not having enough time to prepare an Invicnisphere bubble to defend.

"YOU DIE TONIGHT!" I roar as my flaming katana continues flying towards War, but a mere second before my attack can connect, the unthinkable happens…

My flames extinguish.

My eyes widen.

War's eyes widen.

Mikey's eyes widen.

"If that attack were to hit me…" War softly says.

"I'd be dead."

"MIKEY!" I cry as I turn and peer over my shoulder to face my comrade. "WHAT HAPPENED?!"

"I don't know!" Mikey answers. "My Flames of Destruction never extinguish until I command them to, but-" Mikey's cut off as his eyes widen. "I DON'T THINK THEY'RE COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR BODY! I GAVE YOU THE FULL RIENG TO USE MY FLAMES OF DESTRUCTION, BUT ONLY I CAN WIELD THEM, NOT YOU!"

DAMMIT!" I cry as I turn back to face War, who's wide eyes and scared expression narrow into a cunning, gleeful smirk.

"I see…" War says as she brings a fist up, coating it in an Invincisphere bubble. "Invicnisphere: Bubble Fist!" War shouts as she punches her fist forwards, slamming it into me, and causing me to double over and spit up a glob of blood as I'm sent flying backwards.
