Blazing Black Stars

Beneath the shattered moon, two warriors clashed.

Their flames painted the ruined city in strokes of blue and black, scorching the earth with every movement.

Saber – Black Rock Shooter.

Her azure flame burned fiercely, her black coat billowing in the night as she swung her massive cannon-like sword with precision and power. Her glowing blue eye locked onto her opponent with unwavering focus.

Alter – Insane Black Rock Shooter.

Her corrupted form was a walking nightmare. Black hair whipped wildly as her flaming black eye pulsed with raw madness. Spiked armor covered her body, her monstrous weapons—a jagged, saw-like greatsword and a grotesquely enhanced Black Cannon—radiated pure destruction.

Two sides of the same existence.

One was a warrior forged in battle.

The other was a force of annihilation.

And now—they would determine which flame burned stronger.

---

Alter struck first.

A pulse of insane energy erupted from her as she lunged, her saw-blade screeching through the air. Sparks ignited as Saber barely intercepted the strike, her sword grinding against the jagged teeth of Alter's weapon.

CLANG!

The impact sent shockwaves through the battlefield, shattering the concrete beneath their feet.

Saber pushed back, using her cannon-sword to shove Alter away, but her opponent did not stop.

No hesitation. No restraint. Only destruction.

Alter rushed in again.

This time, she flipped her blade around and brought it down with brutal force. Saber sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the downward slash, but Alter followed with a savage kick—slamming Saber into a crumbling wall.

BOOM!

The impact shook the ruined buildings. Dust and debris filled the air as cracks webbed across the surface where Saber had landed.

But before Alter could press her advantage—

A blast of blue flame erupted from the rubble.

Saber launched forward, her cannon-sword glowing with power.

"Rock Cannon—Full Burst!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Multiple energy blasts fired in rapid succession, each shot aimed directly at Alter. The corrupted warrior raised her greatsword to block, but the sheer force of the shots sent her skidding backward, trails of black fire marking her path.

Saber didn't stop.

She closed the distance in an instant—her sword already swinging.

Alter blocked just in time.

The moment their weapons met again, another explosion of force rocked the battlefield.

Sparks flew.

Flames danced.

Blades clashed in a deadly rhythm.

Each attack was precise—each movement fueled by instinct and experience.

Yet despite Saber's skill…

Alter was faster.

Stronger.

Unrelenting.

With each exchange, Saber found herself pushed back.

---

Alter suddenly vanished.

No—she moved so fast it was like she had disappeared.

Saber's eyes widened—she barely had time to react before—

SLASH!

A deep gash appeared on her side, dark mist rising from the wound. She clenched her teeth, suppressing the pain, but Alter was already behind her—

A monstrous energy blast from the Black Cannon fired point-blank.

BOOM!

Saber was sent flying, her body crashing through an abandoned skyscraper. The building trembled before collapsing entirely, dust and rubble raining over the battlefield.

Alter stood at the center of the destruction, her insane grin widening.

"Weak."

Her voice echoed through the air, distorted and broken.

She raised her cannon again, preparing another devastating shot.

But then—

A blue glow cut through the dust.

And Saber emerged once more.

Her coat was torn. Her wound bled. But her flames burned brighter than ever.

She wasn't done yet.

---

Saber vanished in an instant.

This time—it was her moving at speeds impossible to follow.

BOOM!

A powerful strike from above—Alter barely had time to block before she was forced onto one knee. The impact sent cracks through the ground beneath her.

Saber didn't let up.

Her cannon shifted form, compressing its energy into a concentrated blast. A single shot.

Alter's eyes widened as Saber fired.

BANG!

The explosion engulfed Alter, black flames and blue energy colliding in a chaotic swirl of destruction.

---

The World Holds Its Breath

Silence followed.

Saber breathed heavily, her stance firm but worn.

The smoke and dust began to clear…

And then—laughter.

Low. Uneven. Twisted.

Alter still stood.

She was injured—her armor cracked, her body smoking from the blast.

Yet she smiled.

A broken, terrifying smile.

"You really think that's enough?"

She lifted her blade once more.

Saber narrowed her eyes.

This battle—was far from over.

To Be Continued…
