"Let's go!" Vivi commanded. She raised her Gero Gero gun, its barrel glinting ominously in the light. "Nero Bullet!" she shouted, firing a sleek, black, frog-shaped projectile. The bullet's fiery, glowing eyes burned with intensity as it zipped through the air at blinding speed, aimed directly at Phantasm Mr. 2.
"Okama Dash!" Phantasm Mr. 2 exclaimed as he took a swift, exaggerated stride, attempting to evade the incoming attack. But the bullet's speed was too much, and it detonated just as it neared him. The explosion was deafening, sending shockwaves rippling through the air. Phantasm Mr. 2 was caught in the blast, his body flung backward as the ground quaked beneath their feet. Smoke billowed from the point of impact, and debris scattered in every direction. As the dust settled, Phantasm Mr. 2 struggled to his feet, his clothes singed and his stance unsteady.
"That was powerful," Saphir remarked.
"Angel Wing Slash!" Kaya cried. She spread her radiant wings wide, channeling energy into them. The light emanating from her feathers grew brighter and brighter, almost blinding. With a powerful motion, Kaya unleashed a wave of luminous energy in a graceful arc.
The attack struck Phantasm Mr. 2 head-on, sending him hurtling backward like a ragdoll. He crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.
Before he could recover, Tashigi stepped forward, her sword poised. "Mystic Fire!" she declared, dragging the blade across the ground with precision. Sparks flew as friction ignited the sword, creating a glowing, green-hued flame that swirled menacingly. With a swift slash, Tashigi sent the projectile streaking toward Phantasm Mr. 2.
The flaming strike hit its mark, engulfing Phantasm Mr. 2 in a fiery blast. He let out a guttural cry as the heat scorched him. The flames dissipated, leaving burn marks on the ground where he had fallen.
Phantasm Mr. 2 groaned as he slowly pushed himself up, smoke rising. He peeled off his mascara from his face. He looked at his hand and smiled. Phantasm Mr 2 then threw it at Vivi. "Mascara Boomerang," Phantasm Mr 2 said as the mascara acted like a boomerang. It rapidly went through the air. Vivi saw it coming. She jumped out of the way. However the boomerang was fast and she got clipped by it. The boomerang hit the side of her stomach. There was a tiny amount of blood from that spot.
Vivi gritted her teeth. "Careful everyone," Vivi said.
"Angel Barrage!" Kaya shouted, as her wings unfurled. A radiant glow surrounded her, and dozens of energy projectiles shaped like angelic feathers materialised around her. With a flick of her wings, the feathers launched forward in a volley, streaking through the air toward Phantasm Mr. 2.
"Mascara Boomerang!" Phantasm Mr. 2 cried, twirling dramatically as the mascara extensions from his lashes stretched and curved outward like twin dark blades. With a powerful spin, he hurled the boomerangs toward Kaya's incoming assault. The weapons sliced through the air, meeting the glowing feathers head-on. The feathers and boomerangs collided in midair. For a moment, the attacks cancelled each other out.
Kaya summoned another wave of angelic feathers and once again flicked her wings again, and this time, the barrage was twice as intense. The boomerangs met the feathers once again, but Kaya's relentless volley overwhelmed them. Feather after feather zipped past the boomerangs, closing in on Phantasm Mr. 2.
The first feather struck his shoulder, slicing through his costume. Another feather slashed at his arms, legs, and torso. Each strike left glowing marks that faded into small cuts on his skin.
At that moment, Saphir surged forward. "Bleu Crescent Slash!" she shouted, spinning her spear in a wide arc. The blade cut through the air with a sharp whistle, aimed directly at Phantasm Mr. 2's stomach.
"Keri Pointe!" he countered, flipping gracefully before unleashing a flurry of rapid, acrobatic kicks toward Saphir.
Saphir reacted instantly, raising her spear to block the onslaught, but one of the kicks slipped past her defence, striking her squarely in the face. Another followed, slamming into her chest, forcing her back a step. Despite the pain, she gritted her teeth and planted her foot firmly on the ground. "Bleu Formidable!" she yelled, spinning her spear with ferocious intensity. The weapon became a blur as she unleashed a storm of powerful strikes. She charged forward, meeting Mr. 2's kicks head-on. The two clashed furiously, her spear colliding with his legs in a rapid exchange of blows.
Vivi dashed into the fray. "Touche Slash!" she called out, swinging her blade in a horizontal arc aimed at Mr. 2's exposed stomach.
At the same moment, Tashigi emerged. "Light Mist Faint!" she cried, her sword slicing through the air in a parallel motion. The glowing blade cut toward his chest, its strike perfectly timed with Vivi's.
Saphir saw Phantasm Mr 2 was hurt. His kicks went far. She dropped her spear and clenched her fist. "Thousand Brick Fist," Saphir said as she gathered her strength and launched a hard punch at Phantasm Mr 2`s stomach. The fist connected with his stomach. He felt his rib-cage break as he was sent flying back and crashed on the ground.
Kaya didn't hesitate as she ascended into the sky. Hovering above Phantasm Mr. 2, her silhouette was framed by the radiant light emanating from her. The air around her crackled with energy as she channeled her power. "Giant Angel Heaven's Arrow!" she cried. In her hands, a massive white, arrow-shaped projection began to form, pulsating with an intense, divine energy. The arrow grew larger with each passing moment. Then Kaya hurled the enormous arrow downward, its speed defying the laws of nature as it streaked toward her target like a falling star.
The arrow slammed into Phantasm Mr. 2's chest with a resounding boom, the sheer force of the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the air. Then the arrow detonated in a blinding explosion of light and energy. The force of the blast was immense, engulfing him in a dazzling white flash that obliterated everything in its immediate vicinity. A powerful shockwave rolled outward, rustling the surrounding environment as debris scattered in all directions.
Vivi could see Phantasm Mr 2 was still up. Vivi held her hand out. "Dark Neroctic Beam," Vivi said as she shot a thick dark beam from her left hand. It hit Phantasm Mr 2 who had just got up. There was a gaping hole in his chest. He could barely stand. The beam hit his stomach and exploded. Phantasm Mr 2 was once again knocked back and hit the ground with another large thud. There was eerie a black smoke emitting from his stomach.
However, he got up once again. "How many times can he get up," Tashigi said.
"He looks like he is on his last breath," Kaya added.
Saphir ran towards him. She thought back to her training, her fight with T-bone, her talk with Ben. She wanted to come up with her own style. "Wave Break Strike," Saphir said as she channelled her strength into her right fist and hit Phantasm Mr 2 with a powerful punch to his stomach. He flinched forward. She then quickly followed it with a second punch with equal power on his chest. He staggered back up. She immediately released her fists from his body and then using both fists, punched him in the chest where his heart was. His eyes widened and he was sent flying back, crashing into the altar.
Phantasm Mr 2 suddenly levitated from the ground. His body spun around and turned into light and went back into the orb.
"We did it," Tashigi said.
"Together we did," Kaya added.
"Good job, Saphir," Vivi said.
The orb started to shake as it also levitated and turned into a light and went towards the orb Vivi had. The momentum which held the orb threw out a piece of paper.
Vivi approached the paper and picked it up. "It is a map," Vivi said.
"I wonder what it is for?" Saphir asked.
"We should head back and get all your injuries properly taken care off," Kaya said. They all nodded.
