The ‘Storm Leg’ had done its job – a few of the rockets had been sliced, detonated prematurely and filling the air between the two contenders with spark and smoke. The rest, however, swirled beyond the slicing crescent without issue, surrounding Aluco Striggs in dazzling bursts that encompassed her crouching, condensed form. The shock waves felt like little more than strong winds to her body, muscle taut as steel wire enduring the brunt of the attack, but hot sparks continued to sting and bite like hornets at feathers and flesh alike. These infernal assaults were quickly wearing the woman’s body and mind, but not her spirit.
Ow– Ow– Ow– My ears… So much so had her senses been exposed to their bane that Miss Striggs’ hearing had practically been annihilated; O, how she hoped the damage was not permanent. At least she could breathe something of a sigh of relief – her vision, while distorted, was not so heavily impaired by the brilliant flickers that Mister Toro’s attacks spat out. Nonetheless, all that graced her ears were the sounds of distant, thunderous peals. They sounded so far off that they might not have been a threat at all, but she knew all too well that Kano’s cacophony was far closer for comfort than that.
Even the loudest bangs sound miles away, she assessed with thought rather than word. There was no way she was going to be able to hear her own voices, let alone the battle cry of the ascendant acrobat as he reached the pinnacle of his empowered leap. She was not entirely sure how he got up there, eyes opening and body relaxing only when the shock waves stopped resonating nearby, but being airborne provided him with an unusual advantage.
Amber eyes locked onto him.
If that’s how you’re going to play, then I’ll just have to meet your attack with one of my own! I just… I really hope this works… Bracing, the Owl Zoan’s stance shifted, as if ready to leap up and meet the descending devil in mid-air. But she did not make the jump just yet. Aluco had a plan, as reckless as it might have seemed, and even she could already feel an ominous energy welling up within. Her shadow would protest, would it not? She was doing exactly what it advised against. But, risk aside, the reward seemed far greater. The idea that the Wild Spark’s defeat would bring her to new heights fuelled her innermost passions.
My father gave up his leg for the sake of Justice, the MCPO reminded herself as she rolled forwards and pressed both hands upon the street, using momentum to push the rest of her body and flip upside-down, legs folded tightly in the last few fractions of a second before impact: If I have to, I’ll give up both of mine for the same reason…
With sudden speed and fierce strength, the brunette’s legs uncoiled. Cross-shaped toes tipped with toughened talons thrust skywards in the most unorthodox execution of a dropkick ever conceived, all for the sake of breaking Kano’s own assault. Looking down – or up – the length of her feathered body further revealed just how much power she could put behind such an attack, but it was far too late to make any amendments to such retaliation. This was her final gambit…“Hō Taka!”{OOC}endures, but the fight’s coming to a climactic close! Whose attack will be victorious? Above or below? It’s an explosive finale!
