Chapter50: Comet's guards, part three

Kori Comet.

A Rinock who's skin glossed and smooth, the complete opposite of the ordinary Rinock.

And thanks to her unique skin her ice blue veins were clear for all to see.

A Rinock who is known as a the chill of death.

"What are you doing here Kori?" Feather screamed as she felt the blade skim against her throat.

"This ice it must be coming from her, so if that's the case..." Hikaru thought to himself as he dropped his blackite dagger to the ground.

And upon the clash of the blackite against the ice, a black a violet explosion destroyed the ice around Hikaru's feet.

Appearing out of the black sphere Hikaru, tossed Feather towards Kori.

Hikaru rushed into close quarters combat.

And with each attack the dagger of lighting picked up more and more speed.

"Technique activation: chilling death" Kori whispered as ice surrounded her eyes.

And upon the meeting of the warriors' eyes, Hikaru was frozen.

"It's over Zeon, I owe my life to this city so I'll devote my self to it..., even if that means betraying my late king in favour of my family's survival" Kori created a shard of ice carrying it towards Hikaru's stomach.

"Why can't I move, it's like my body is petrified" Hikaru struggled to think as he felt his mind succumb to fear.

And as Hikaru's senses shut down, Kori blinked...

Allowing for Hikaru to come back to reality, his body acting instinctively to phase through Kori's body.

And suddenly without even turning to face Hikaru Kori made the surface below her feet ice.

Everything below her, down to the asteroid field that supports Comet city had been turned into ice.

Hikaru jolted his body around to face Kori but it was too late.

Kori had activated the technique known as hail storm, causing the pillar of ice below her feet to ascend into space.

"If I follow her she'll remain at the advantage, so with that in mind..." Hikaru slid across the battlefield taking hold of his newly reformed blackite dagger.

And upon the moment his fingers touched the handle, Kori leapt from her tower.

In which the second part of her technique begun.

The pillar of ice began to shoot down like a missile.

And just moments before it disappeared through Comet city, Kori manipulated it's location dragging it to where Hikaru stood.

Upon a moments notice Hikaru channelled his energy dashing anywhere, where the ice wouldn't hit him.

But what he didn't know was that Kori planned on him dodging...

The missile of ice smashed upon the surface of Comet city, scattering across the metallic city.

Still in descent Kori manipulated the shards, creating plates for her to stand on.

While also creating a birage of frozen bullets.

And while the ice hovered in the air Hikaru made no movements but Kori had other plans.

She used her own ice to force herself to the ground.

Her aura grew, only to shrink immediately after but as a result Kori's eyes froze.

And the surface below her feet was converted into ice.

Staring straight into Hikaru's eyes, Kori had caught him once again or at least that's what she hoped for...

"I worked your techniques out already, come up with something more extreme next time" Hikaru appeared beside Kori dagger in hand he cut straight through her soulless skin.

Kori released a wave of energy activating yet another technique.

Causing all of the frozen bullets in Kori's control to rapidly travel towards her.

But Hikaru didn't move or rather he couldn't.

Ice had spread from the ground below his feet and up his legs meaning that if he phases he will lose his legs.

And soon after Hikaru realised this fact, the shards penetrated his skin.

But that's not all, as all of the ice that should've hit Kori avoided her body aiming specifically for Hikaru.

"Shit she's tearing me apart, if things stay like this I'll die" Hikaru thought to himself as he held Kori's arms away.

Kori then created spikes of ice along her knuckles, penetrating Hikaru's fists.

Hikaru activated his twelfth curse, phasing his upper body through Kori's.

Leaving his legs behind Hikaru was left vulnerable but alive.

"It won't be perfect but its my last move, after all humans cursed paralysis with this move" Hikaru released fusion energy out of his torn torso.

Kori span two discs of ice into existence, ready to slice Hikaru.

But just in time Hikaru crafted himself new legs made of fusion energy, although the speed he once had has now been taken away.

The white Rinock manipulated her discs, shooting them towards Hikaru's legs.

The ice cut straight through but it was pointless as Hikaru repaired his legs using more fusion energy.

Now running towards Kori, Hikaru refused to lose as he entered uncontrollable power one.

Following with the creation of a dominant fist.

In which he slammed his fist straight into Kori's unharmed face.

"So you take my legs, thank you this will serve as my lesson" Hikaru grasped a hold of Kori's hair.

Spinning his blackite dagger around Hikaru made a declaration "I swear I will not allow anyone to return my speed to me, that will be my lesson I will use this failure to strengthen myself". 

And upon his final word Hikaru stabbed straight through Kori's rock coated stomach.

"Kori!"...

Feather grabbed a hold of her bow, drawing a arrow of hydrogen.

And without a thought for Kori's safety Feather released a arrow, catching both her ally and enemy in the hydrogen explosion.
