Chapter 80: The Rematch
April fools....?
'I've never seen her full power in the time we were together. No doubt, she won't hold now.'
"A battle to the death. Don't hold back or I will kill you." Madara said with a blank expression. His black emotionless eyes, he had the eyes of a killer and he won't be afraid to kill again, even if it's a loved one.
"Take your own advice. Let's see how strong you've become in these past ten years!" Mereoleona said as she started emitting killing intent and her battle lust.
Madara could feel the animalistic mana coming from her. He started leaking his own killing intent and battle lust. Those who were on the trail could feel it. They were wonder what Madara did to piss her off.
But they soon the killing intent overpowered the battle lust. It made most of them shake in fear. They knew Madara liked to fight and Mereoleona is a violent woman, but the killing intent was real.
Their killing intent is like the final battle between two enemies. Even the captains, were looking in the direction of the two.
"Sisgoleon and Madara about to kill each other... Who do you think is winning, prickly queen?" Yami asked Charlotte while smoking a cigarette.
"Their battle has nothing to do with me. If they wish to kill each other, I could care less who wins." Charlotte said, but on the inside, she was worried about Madara.
"You're no fun," Yami said with a sigh as he continued to watch the standoff.
'What are you doing trying to fight that woman?' Charlotte thought as she hid the troubled look on her face.
(A/n: I don't feel like getting the reactions of the others and I bet y'all wanna get into the fight so...)
Madara was the first to attack, he appeared next to Mereoleona with a fist connecting to her cheek. He wasn't holding back in the slightest. She went flying into the rocks, meters away from him, even going straight through the lava monsters, creating holes in their stomachs.
The punch knocked her off balance a bit. Even though she knew Madara was stronger than before, she didn't expect such a powerful hit.
He had grown stronger in ten years, this made her heartbeat hasten. She was getting excited and the smile on her face was proof.
Before she crashed into the rocks, she stepped on the air, to propel herself back toward Madara. Her fist was engulfed in bright orange flames, with unnoticeable blue flames coming off it.
The day Madara left the forest, she trained harder than she did previously. She knew Madara was going to become stronger than herself in the future.
So, she increased her training until she passed out each time. Her time spent with Madara, she knew it would only be a couple of years until he surpasses her.
So, when the time came and they fought again, she wanted to put him through hell before she went down.
Yes, she knew the outcome of their battle before it started, but she wasn't going to let that dwell on her. That just motivated more to become stronger.
A large white aura surrounded Madara, he became a beacon that consumed the light around him. This was the first time Madara used his full power.
When he punched Mereoleona, which was meant to shatter her skull, then her head would explode like a dropped watermelon.
'Looks like she's stronger than she was in canon.'
Madara made that assumption because he estimated her strength in canon and used the right amount of strength to shatter her skull. She might've died, but Madara would heal her before she did.
Madara felt an odd sense of excitement, seeing Mereoleona come toward him, ready to kill him. He was high off his adrenaline and he could get addicted.
Once Mereoleona was close enough, she appeared next to Madara and punched him in the ribs. She then hit him in the face with all her strength.
But then, Madara turned into a cloud of smoke. She was confused for a moment, then she felt her senses screaming at her to dodge.
Her eyes trailed behind her, to see Madara kicking toward her ribs. She could see the air around his leg shifted with his movement.
She knew if she took this hit, it would cause damage that would hinder her fighting capabilities. In a split second, before the kick landed, she used her lion paws to stop the kick.
She was able to stop the kick, but she still felt the wind pressure on her side. Madaras' smile grew seeing his attack was stopped.
He wasn't planning on taking it easy on her, but to stop that kick, he knew she was serious. Madara then expanded his aura that erased the lion's paws.
When he was free, both he and Mereoleona attacked at the same time. Both of them getting hit, sending the other meters away.
Madara quickly recovered as teleported in front of Mereoleona and opened a barrage of punches on her. His punches were so fast, you could only see after images.
Only after six seconds of this, Mereoleona expanded her aura. It was hot, but not hot enough to the point Madara couldn't handle it. The other reason he retreated was that he didn't want his clothes burnt.
"You certainly have gotten stronger, but that won't be enough to beat me!" Mereoleona said as she appeared in front of Madara with a barrage of punches.
Madara then started to punch back with the other thing seen was afterimages and the smile on their faces.
A few hits broke through the other defenses. Madara was bleeding from the mouth and Mereoleona was bleeding from the head and mouth.
Madara then heard something that almost killed him.
[Mana Zone: Calidus Brachium Barrage]
(A/n: If you see this [Spell] for anyone other than Madara, they said the spell name. Only Madara says his in his head)
Madara heard this and immediately used the Susanoo ribcage to take the hits. With the barrage of attacks, considering she wasn't holding back, Madara heard a small crack from the ribcage.
'This woman...'
Though he wasn't taking attacks directly, he could still a type of pain in his body. When the attacks stopped, Mereoleona saw that there wasn't a scratch on him.
He was protected by the abnormal blue ribcage. Madara then deactivated the ribcage and created a wood clone.
"It's time to end this," Madara said in a cold tone as the wood clone started attacking Madara.
While Madara prepared his attack, Mereoleona was busy with his clone.
'So he can make clones of himself... What if this isn't the real him and a clone?!' Mereoleona thought but then discarded the idea.
While she was engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the clone three purple fireballs at her, which she dodged.
'Purple? I've never seen that color before... Looks like he pushed himself to master his fire attribute. Seems like I have to do the same!'
Her mana expanded and started to change color. It was starting to take on this blue color. Mereoleona had surpassed her limits and succeeded in using blue fire without the help of mana zone.
It didn't matter at the moment because she still had two Madaras' to deal with. Before she could even do anything else, she noticed the dark clouds above her.
The lightning dancing in the dark clouds. She then looked at Madara who had a smile on his face. He also had his arm raised in the air.
His hand was also covered in lightning and before she could react, Madara dropped his arm.
[Kirin]
A large dragon of lightning descended from the clouds. The dragon was aiming directly for Mereoleona. Those who saw it were left in shock.
The lightning traveled faster than magic because it was real lightning. Seeing the lightning dragon coming to consume her, she channeled her full strength into her arms.
With an open mouth, it came down to eat her, but using her strength and magic, she was able to hold its jaws open. Although it taking her all to do so.
Madara used a large portion of his mana to create it. He expected nothing less than for her to stop it, but this would be her end.
While trying to hold it from eating her, she used her fire magic and it traveled through its body. Mereleona let out a yelled as she poured every ounce of her fire magic into the dragon.
Then in a large explosion, both fire and lightning spread around the volcano. Both Madara and Mereoleona were the most injured because they were closest to the explosion.
But everyone else only had minor injures. When the explosion cleared up, Mereoleona could be seen standing up.
Only her eyeballs showed as he pupils were gone, signaling she had passed out. She was bleeding from a lot of places, but still had a smile on her face.
Madara appeared in front of Mereoleona and placed a hand on her chest. He then started to heal her. In a few minutes, all she injures were healed and she would be conscious in a little bit.
Madara then turned to the ones still watching and shouted.
"You've had enough rest. Finish the trail before nightfall or face the consequences!" Everyone heard the power in his voice and started running the trail again.
"Your speech could use some work," Mereoleona said from behind him.
"You look like shit," Madara said looking at the bloodied Mereoleona.
"You're the one to talk," Mereoleona said, with a light smile.
"Let's head over there. It would be a shame if we chastised them for us to be the last ones." Madara said.
"I guess you're right," Mereoleona said as she began to walk toward the hot spring.
"How about we take a bath together as we used to," Madara suggested as he began to walk behind her.
"I wonder what the other will say about a man bathing with the women?" Mereoleona said, with a smirk.
"The men will be jealous and the woman will be against it, maybe?" Madara said with his hands behind his head.
After that, they ran to the top of the volcano, leaving the other behind. There they met the captains.
"Done killing each other, already? I was enjoying the show." Yami said as he saw both Madara and Mereoleona walk up to them.
"Yeah, right. You were worried sick about your squadmate." Charlotte said, shocking everyone. She wasn't the type for teasing. Madara just looked at her curiously.
After talking for a bit, they all waited until the others came. Noelle saw Madara with dried-up blood and become worried. But he gave her a reassuring smile that made her calm down.
After yelling at the lions for being late, they were all permitted to use the hot springs. Then the water started to fill the hole in the ground.
"All right, you fools! Take off your clothes!" Mereoleona said as she pointed at them.
The others were hesitant and reluctant to do such a thing in front of one another, but Madara was the first to start undressing.
The other looked at him in shock, they didn't expect him to start undressing in front of everyone.
"What?" Madara asked as he took off his shirt. His ripped body on display for anyone to see. He then looked to Mereoleona who was looking at his body, he walked up to her and whispered to her.
"You like what you see you?"
She balled her fist and tried to punch him, but he dodged it. The others were wondering what exactly did he say?
"Are you really undressing in front of the girls?" Asta asked seeing him take off his clothes.
Madara took a look around to see a lot of the girl staring at him. He then looked back to Asta and said;
"They seem to enjoy it."

"That lucky, bastard!"
"How does he get to bathe with the women?!"
Someone of the crimson lions said as someone was missing on the men's side. Madara had somehow, talked got his way into the women's bath.
Madara was soaking in the water next to Mereoleona with his eyes closed. He had gotten his way into the woman's bath due to his charisma.
"Hey, Madara. You want to share a drink with me?" Mereoleona asked holding the cup to him.
Madara took the cup and drunk it. It wasn't all bad. He handed the cup back to Mereoleona who drunk it after him. Mereoleona then looked down into the water and smiled.
"What's so funny?" Madara asked with his eyes closed.
"It's bigger than I remember. It used to be so sm-" Before she could finish, Madara interrupted her.
"What are you trying to say?" Madara asked with one eye looking at her.
"Since we are mates, we need to prepare for a child," Mereoleona said with a nonchalant expression.
