Chapter 653 - Kotori Vs All of Kaneki (3)

Crash!

Boom!

Kotori: Hahaha~! This is so much fun! Come! I know you can do more than that!

Kotori was enjoying her brawl with the countless blood clones that were attacking her, the struggle she previously had was gone as she unknowingly stopped making herself look weak.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

And she was rather unhinged in the brawl against countless blood clones.

Tear!

She tore off one of the heads of the dragon blood clone's head and used both upper and lower jaws as gauntlets.

Steam~

ROOOOOAAAAR!

Kotori: Heh! Looks like it has regeneration too! This makes it more fun!

Slash!

As Kotori was going to use the blood dragon clone's jaw against it, she was attacked by a sword slash that came through her.

And the clone responsible for this was in the shape of someone very familiar.

It was her and Kaneki's own mother.

Kotori: Cough! Really Kaneki-chan? Do you really think I'm scared of hurting Mama?

Tohru Higanbana.

Kotori: Besides, I can use her powers too remember? Although I don't feel like singing so BOOM!

Slash!

Crash!

Kotori shouted a powerful concentrated soundwave capable of destroying many buildings in an instant towards the Tohru Blood Clone.

But this attack was immediately parried by the blood clone, slicing the sound wave in half and knocking away many other blood clones before destroying several buildings.

Kotori: Well... I didn't expect that.

Boom!

Kotori: Huh? That came from-

Slash!

Blast!

Kotori: Woah! No time to be distracted!

Kotori was surprised by the sudden explosion that came from Akuma Castle's direction, but she ignored it due to the clones attack.

Clash!

She blocked an incoming slash from the Tohru Blood Clone with her own sword, but after this she suddenly noticed that the clones had backed up as if they intended to watch.

She thought of this as Kaneki wanting to see her fight their own mother.

Kotori: Heh! Looks like the other clones are backing up, hey Kaneki-chan I bet you wanna see me and Mama fight right? Then I'll give you a fight!

Swoosh!

Slash!

Clang! Clash!

Almost immediately she began to make very quick and rapid slash and piercing attacks with her own sword.

Clash!

And the clone was doing the same, it perfectly countered all of Kotori's attacks until Kotori played dirty.

Kotori: Demon Knight Arts, Demonic Portals!

Tear~!

Slash!

She opened up a portal using Kaneki's own technique, she passed through and appeared behind the Tohru Blood Clone and delivered a hundred slashes in a mere second.

Kotori: Eh?

But to Kotori's surprise, unlike most of the blood clones she was faced off which can receive damage.

Glare~!

Kotori: Yabe.

The Tohru blood clone was durable as the real Tohru, it took Kotori's attack without receiving any damage and gave her a glare of intimidation.

Swoosh!

Grip!

In an instant it swooped and grabbed Kotori with a firm and tight grip before smashing her through the ground and many buildings.

But after being smashed through dozens of buildings, Kotori very quickly turned both of her arms into Guns and shor the clone directly in the head, freeing herself from it's grip.

Crack!

Kotori: Bang!

Bang!

Crash!

Upon escaping the clones grip, Kotori looked around asking Kaneki for a better challenge.

Kotori: C'mon Kaneki-chan! It was very fun that many of you had faced me earlier, let's do that again!

Rumble~!

So the clones listened, they all attack her in unison.

Blast!

Bang!

Boom!

Countless clones including the Tohru, Beast Knights, Kumiko and Mika clones. All of them faced Kotori in a chaotic and destructive battle destroying the surroundings in mere seconds.

And Kotori, she was enjoying every bit of it.

Kotori: Hahaha~! You can do better than that! Do your best! Do your best! This isn't your full potential!

She was copying each clones powers and used those same powers against them and disabling them with ease.

The numbers of clones were slowly dwindling as Kotori was destroying many of them with ease.

Kotori: At this rate, I'll defeat your clones and come for yo-

Swoosh~!

Slash!

Kotori: What the?

Suddenly a weapon came flying and slashed her abdomen and went through her in an instant, surprising her.

Kotori: Was that-

Thwip!

Pull~!

Kotori: Woah!

Before Kotori could process what had happened, she a long rope of silk was wrapped around her and she was pulled through the sea of clones very rapidly.

Kotori: Heh! An Arachne Arts is pointless!

Crack!

Because of the silk, Kotori had thought it was an Arachne Arts clone of Kaneki so she created spider legs ready to counter.

Chikao: Hey there Kotori-san.

Kotori: Huh???

But to her surprise, the one pulling her was Chikao wielding her mother's web gun.

Swoosh!

And from behind her jumping out of nowhere, Natsuki wielding the Liberator.

Kotori: !!!

Natsuki: ORA!

Slash!

Kotori: Argh!

Due to Kotori being pulled very quickly, Natsuki's slashing attack with the Liberator was a lot more effective and created a huge cut on her Body.

Swoosh!

Kotori: You-

Bash!

Without a second even passing after getting slashed by Natsuki, Kotori was bashed by non other than...

Yuuka: Kuwagata Break!

Yuuka wielding the Kabuto shield, as she bashed Kotori with it she used it's powers creating two mandibles that bit Kotori very hard, crushing her body very hard.

Swoosh!

Slash!

Tear!

And from Kotori's back she received a very quick and violent slash resulting in her body being cut into several pieces.

(Was that- I knew it!!!)

For a split second she saw them, the ones responsible for that attack.

Sachi, Shino and Miku each one of them wielding the relics they own. The Dragon Scythe, Spider Sword and Higanbana Blade.

(How are they here? Did Kaneki asked them to join? Or they followed us?)

Kotori didn't understand how the Higanbana girls ended up in Fake Shimotsuki let alone withstood the destruction that happened prior.

(Are they clones??? No that's not possible the only one here that could possibly be a clone is Natsuki due to her power, the others are completely impossible)

She didn't understand anything that was happening but one thing was clear.

She's not facing the real Higanbana girls.

Back in the Stadium*

Itsuki & Keiko: EHHHHH?! What?!

Miku: WHAT ARE WE DOING THERE?!

Shino: KANEKI WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Natsuki, Sachi & Chikao: What's going on?!

Yuuka: They even sound like us!

The Higanbana girls and Itsuki & Keiko were all surprised what they witnessed.

Querxes: Wow I did not expect that.

Even Querxes didn't understand how Kaneki was able to create those clones of the Higanbana girls

Querxes: you girls don't have any powers and abilities right?

Natsuki: No aside from me, they don't have any.

Querxes: Really? Wow this is new, I've never seen Kaneki do this before.

Yuuka: Maybe it's just his normal blood clones and he made them shape shift? He can do that right?

In Fake Shimotsuki*

Steam~

Kotori: That hurts...

Crack!

After fixing her body Kotori raised her guard, as all 6 of the Higanbana girls clones had surrounded and began to circle around her.

Natsuki: So what do you think Onee-chan? Like the new look?

Kotori: Kaneki-chan?

Shino: That's right, it's me.

Kotori: These clones-

Yuuka: You like them? Good I've put my soul into them.

Sachi: I'll tell you it wasn't easy but it was so worth it.

Chikao: I've put pieces of my own soul into these clones.

Miku: Got to admit, I'm quite happy that these turned into the ones I like the most.

Natsuki: Now then, let's have some fun shall we? Oh but before that. You all know what to do right?

Yuuka: Of course, why else would I go to the trouble of doing this?

Chikao: Let's start then.

Kotori: What?

Raise~

All 6: Let's have some fun.

The clones raised their weapons pointing to the sky.

Burst!

Flames bursted out of their backs and the ground below their feet turned into molten rock.

All 6: Henshin!

Burst!

Beam~!

As they said that word, the flames on their backs grew larger and took the shape of wings.

Followed by 6 pillars of light appearing behind them.

Kotori: What???

Swooh~

And from these pillars of light, small orbs of light came out and flew everywhere.

All 6: Like I said Onee-chan, you'll be fighting all of me.
