The city of Ontario, a once populated technological advanced city filled with over five thousand people. It was known as the main city of technology and the birthplace of the legendary Kuro Nasaki.
Now it was abandoned and isolated, filled with unyielding flames and monsters of varying ranks.
"Ahh, Ayami~ I missed you so much"
The Original Kuro exclaimed in a flirtatious & excited tone of voice, a genuine smile on his face as he stood before the sixth celestial knight.
Ayami on the other hand, did not respond with any words but merely raised an eyebrow at Kuro's statement.
A small sigh escaped the original Kuro's lips, slipping his hands into his pockets as he stood next to the black long haired women.
"One of these days...you'll die"
Ayami stated simply which made Kuro freeze up for a few seconds, anger flashing across his face before being replaced with an impassive expression.
"So it's bound to happen huh. Just know that I do truly love you Ayami, more than you'll ever realize."
The Original Kuro stated with a small smile, void of any deceitfulness and filled with nothing but genuine love. Then with one more subtle sigh, he turned and began walking away.
"Me too..."
Ayami responded barely above an audible whisper, yet Kuro ears picked up on this and he smiled while his back was turned to her and finally left the city.
.
"Riyah! Stop this!"
The Alternate Kuro stated loudly in desperation, avoiding a disk of condensed soul energy by leaping backwards.
"I'm sorry...I can't"
Riyah responded with a down casted expression, blitzing forward at lightning speed to attempt a hook infused with foreign energy.
"You leave me with no choice then..."
Pure Soul Art #1: Casualty Defiance
Riyah suddenly fell down to her knees in agony, her body glowing faintly as blood trailed down her mouth and eyes.
"I'll be taking back what belongs to me..."
Kuro uttered in subtle disappointment, his right palm open and outstretched towards the fallen Riyah, then he closed his hand into a fist.
"ARREEGHH"
Riyah yelled out in pain as the very essence of her power was ripped from her body, revealing a singular and empty floating piece of paper that exuded another worldly energy.
In that instant, it flew towards Kuro and absorbed into his body, leaving Riyah panting heavily on the ground whilst her very magical essence began to fade.
"I don't know what he said or did to you...but I'll make sure to avenge you"
Kuro uttered out as he walked up to the fallen Riyah, his hand still outstretched into a fist before he opened it, pointing his palm directly at her.
Soul Art #5: Weak Force Interaction
With a single tear that fell down Kuro cheek and onto the soiled ground, Riyah body faded into dust and scattered with the wind to endlessly drift in the universe.
"NOOO!"
Oka cried out in fury and grief, realizing that her apprentice was just reverted to dust on an atomic level. Tears streamed down her face and now she moved on to a new target, ignoring Lana completely.
Radiation Magic: Unified Force Interaction
In a fit of unadulterated rage, Oka launched her strongest magical technique which materialized two fundamental forces at high temperatures; The Electromagnetic Force & The Weak Nuclear Force.
Kuro eyes widened in shock and immediate concern as Oka swiped her hand across the air, generating a decaying reaction so intense that it reverted the very air into a vacuum as it traveled towards him in a linear path at the speed of light.
Kuro could only watch as the attack reached him the moment it was launched, washing over his body and decaying his very atomic structure at a rapid rate.
The force of the attack not only flung him back, but his attempt to raise his arm to initiate a defensive barrier had left him with no arm.
Lana looked on with concern as Kuro slammed through many buildings in a violent manner, the sheer force of his impacts causing the buildings to collapse after his exits.
This lasted until he was through his last building, totaling it to ten buildings in a row and crashing into the ground with an impactful explosion.
Oka did not stop there, her left hand was raised high into the air , an expression of anger & disdain on her face before she swung her hand down.
What followed next was a multicolored starry display in the sky, then a thick pillar like beam shot down like lightning and directly on top of Kuro with a mighty explosion that lit the very sky, being seen for miles.
Pure Soul Art #2: Duality Ascension
As the overly gigantic dust cloud settled, Kuro was seen standing amidst the destruction, though his body was battered and his arm was still missing.
What stood out was his now hot-pink hair and eyes to match. His face lacked any expression and his eyes were cold as ice, unmoving as he stared in the direction Oka was at.
Step.
Kuro no longer stood in the spot he was in, he was now in front of Oka who has yet to register his presence.
His hand rested calmly on her left cheek, which she now received his presence yet she could not move, her body refusing to follow the command of her mind.
"Maybe in another universe you'll understand... I'm sorry"
Kuro exclaimed in soft tone, his pink eyes staring into her own black eyes. Then, she began fading from physical existence unlike how Riyah did.
A single tear fell from Oka eye as she could only accept her fate, the glistening reflection of her falling tear droplet against the lit sky was the only reminder that she existed.
Lana could only watch with wide eyes at Kuro's display of godlike power and the merciless death of the two opponents they faced.
"Wow..."
That was the only word that Lana could utter, glancing at Kuro's sorrowful expression as he still held his hand out in the empty space in front of him
