"All right then... What is the name again?"
"I'm Yoki, the 5th in command! I told you that already!"
"Sorry, Sorry. I can't remember some filler characters sometimes!"
"Filler?"
"Yes, filler! People who aren't important, who get in the way of people like me. You're one of those."
"This isn't a story or anything..."
"It isn't, yet you still play the role oh so fine.."

"That's it! Rainy Day!" That's when clouds appeared above Erebos and zapped him with lightning and burnt him to a crisp.
"See? Easy."
"I'm still alive," Erebos said, wiping the soot off his face and stretching.
"You're immune to lighting too?"
"No, just had a certain girl always strike me with it. So I'm not immune to it but I built up quite the immunity!"
"Alright then... Take this Rain Drops of Hell!" That's when fire-tipped raindrops dropped on Erebos.
"Hot! Hot! Hot!" Erebos yelled, jumping around holding his butt from how hot the drops were.
"You, totally aren't the vibe you give off."
"What!? What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're not scary, and your abilities are weak!"
"Weak!? I'll show you weak!" That's when Erebos dashed straight towards Yoki and pulled a small blade and sliced him.
"That's it... A small knife."
"Don't underestimate this knife! This knife is called The Shadow Blade and is not a knife but a karambit! Don't ever disrespect them ever again!"
'
"Them?"
"It isn't called the shadow blade for now reason! That's when the one blade becomes two blades and I spin it around my finger!"
"Are you... Narrating yourself!?"
"Indeed I am, pay attention! Since I used my shadow technique from my Zone and fused it with the blades I made the shadow blade! No one is thinking on my type of level which is why you hardly see things like this! Erebos is a one and only baby!"
"Shadow Zone Technique?"
"Correcto! Since I didn't get to fully show my shadow technique and how I would effectively use my Zone against yours I guess I'll just use my other technique instead! I have a secret I'll tell you at the end of the fight so stick around!"
The stare-off at each other was intense. In the world of an orthodox, a world between two Zones of equal strength fusing and turning into one hyperminded place in space, the world feels like it's nothing but everything at the same time.
"Stick around at the end of the fight you say? That's cool, I can definitely stick to the end of the fight. Since I'm going to win! Also, for your information, a karambit is a knife!" Yoki said, dashing towards Erebos.
"Bring it!" That's when they started to fight.
"So, I can see you're quite strong!" Yoki said kicking Erebos and punching him in the stomach.
"I am!"
"Alright then deal with this!" That's when thousands of Yoki's came out of his body.
"Rain clones!" A whole bunch of Yoki said circling Erebos.
"Rain Clones!? Hey! I'm the one with the shadow moves!"
He's copying and breaking fourth walls more than I am, this isn't good. I need to think about this, Yoki's ability has something to do with rain. He's also able to use this rain to manipulate the form, color, and shape into things like clones. Does that mean he can also make weapons? Do they do actual damage or is it once they touch anything they disappear? Is it a one-time use?
I need to figure this out before I attack agai-
That's when all the shadow clones jumped Erebos taking him out of his train of thought as they beat him down
"Get away from me! Yoki you bastard! Which one are you!?" Erebos yelled but didn't get an answer from just one Yoki but multiple Yoki's.
"Get him! We can do this!" He heard from many clones.
Listen, which one is Yoki? Erebos, stay calm and listen.
"Don't stop you guys!" Erebos heard a clone say.
Listen.
"Yeah, we can win! He can't stop us now!" Erebos heard another clone say.
"Yeah! You can't catch all of us!"
Bingo!
"How!?" Yoki said all the clones that were there except for the clone Erebos targeted disappeared.
"It's simple! I waited to hear dialogue from what the clones would say versus what you would say. You're not a clone but the clone's leader so you would speak to them as such..."
"Don't stop you guys!"
"Since you said you guys and not us I knew that you're the original Yoki and the rest we're clones!"
"Smart!"
"I know it is! I'm the smartest, toughest, most handsome guy you'll ever meet!"
"Unfactual! That goes towards our Boss! Now let's see you deal with this! Yoki's Thunder Illusion!" That's when multiple clouds appeared above Erebos and started to strike down thunder strikes on his body.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Yoch! What on earth is your ability!?" Erebos yelled again, holding his butt and running in a circle.
"Like I ever would need to Charge My State Of Mind! You fool! You're just a fool with a lack of thinking capability! I would never even need to break a sweat."
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
"Hey, pay attention when I'm talking to you!"
"Well maybe not lighting me up with lightning could make me listen!"
"No way!" Yoki yelled again, still lighting him down with lightning.
This is bad, yet again. He's using a technique I can't grasp. How is he able to use lightning while his ability is rain? Superior does allow two techniques however, he used his Zone and his Zone seemed to also be compatible with his rain.
"You're a real idiot you know! Anyone with a brain would have figured out my ability by now. In fact, you already figured it out, you just haven't applied the train of thinking." That's when Yoki ran straight towards a distracted Erebos and punched him hard in the face.
Yoki then picked up Erebos and jumped in the sky of the orthodox. "Let's do this! Yoki's Rain Surplex!" That's when Yoki turned them upside down and slammed them down onto the ground. Blood spewed everywhere and Erebos's skull cracked a little from the impact of the blow.
"That should have done the trick," Yoki said but the orthodox wasn't going away.
"Don't tell me that you're still alive..."
"You really thought such a small blow could kill a demon like me! I haven't even thrown a single attack toward you yet! So... Get ready Karambit, two knife style! Expand Shadow Karambit. That's when the two karambit grew bigger and we're like giant razors.
"CS:1" Erebos screamed as he ran straight through Yoki.
"You didn't even do anything and you caught me by sur-" Before Yoki could finish a bunch of blood flew right outside of his chest.
"I did do something. CS: 1, Cold Shadow Chop!"
"Cold Shadow!?"
"That's when Erebos again dashed straight past Yoki and cut him again.
"CS:1, Cold Shadow Chop!" That's when Erebos went to dash towards him and do it again.
"Not this time bucko! Slower rain!" That's when Erebos went slower than usual.
"Now you're a free hit!"
"CS: 3 Cold Shadow, Overlapping Chop!" That's when the chops overlapped and cut Yoki before he could even land a hit.
"Just because I'm slowed, doesn't mean I lost my power."
"Yoki's Thunder Illusion!" That's when the thunder started to strike down faster and harder than before.
In this orthodox, my detection has been off this whole time. However, now that I'm looking at the technique and how it's working. I think I know how to regain my detection and kill him in one final one-part move.
I need to finish this now! Apollo probably has Alfred already!
...
"Pete?" Koji said in a low raspy voice from all the pain he was in.
"Yes?"
"In the car, a while back."
"Yes?"
"Why did you have bad intent,? It was small but it was there."
"I sense something wrong, bad intent. In fact, I smell bad intent in this car."
"I.. Don't know."
"Pete?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you lie?"
"Lie?"
"Yes, right now. Why did you lie to me?" This made Pete stop completely and stand still which made the boy in front of them stop.
"I'm not lying."
"There you go again, lying straight towards my face."
"I'm not lying though!"
"Pete, how did they find our base?"
"What?"
"Answer the question... How did they find our top secret base they couldn't find for years!?"
"I don't know. I was with you guys."
"Pete, Z came up with a theory. A while before our mission, before I was taken out, when Z first walked through the doors..."
Since this agency is so in the middle maybe they're trying to take it down? Send all our strong people to Phronesis then do a flank?"
"At the time I didn't like the idea nor sound of it because it meant that if that was true they knew where our base was. However, Z was right. They did know where our base was and did flank us, even when we knew they would."
"Koji, I wasn't even there for that meeting. I couldn't even know you guys would have thought of something like that so how can I build upon it?"
"You didn't build upon that theory, it was already in motion, don't confuse the two..."
"What if they have a key? What if someone gave them a key? What if there is a traitor?"
"Pete."
"Are you sure you background checked everyone?"
"Tell me honestly, Pete."
"They took Alfred!"
"No more lies. Pete."
"Koji."
"I- It was definitely The Other Side. One of their upper officers we're in here, number 4 to be exact. I tried to fight them off but they stuffed me in this freezer as a threat against Alfred. That's when they went around killing everyone, I couldn't believe my eyes. Only a few escaped up the elevator although they probably got hunted down. I tried- I tried my best."
"I never got to ask you back then either... How did you know it was number 4, why were you spared, why was that bad intent in the car and it was leading towards you?" I never asked any of that! I hate myself for doing so, because I know you're a traitor aren't you!?"
"I-'' Before Pete could answer, someone broke through the wall. Debris flew everywhere and landed down creating smoke. The smoke got in their faces making it harder to breathe than it already was the more you descend the layers of the facility. That's when a man walked in front of them and stopped them from moving on.
"Well, Well, Well. Looks like we got some other agency trash! Now, don't we?"
"Oh, dear!" Pete said, putting Koji down and charging the man.
"Pete!" Koji said, but had to clench his stomach.
"You two go back to Z! Do it now! One more thing! 8588!"
"Little boy, follow me!"
"It's Phoenix!"
"It's not a time for correcting names-" Koji could barely let out since the pain from using power beyond him was still taking its toll. However, since recent events, Koji was able to stand and do a little bit of a sprint.
...
"Become stronger than me? Don't lose yourself now! I'm Don! Fourth in command! People like you can only dream of reaching this level!"
"Well, then..." I said, whipping my face of blood that was just so slowly dripping down off my face.
"It's good that I'm not only dreaming right?"
"What? What did you say to me?"
"I said that I'm not just going to dream of beating you but also surpassing you. I won't stay on you for too long! I want to become someone who could never shake in fear again! Someone that can fight no matter what circumstances!"
"I see. Someone like you is dangerous, I need to kill someone like you... Enough playing around!" That's when Don's tentacles flew straight towards me however, now things are different, my body telling me where to go.
They are coming towards me, but my body is saying go left, go right, stay still, don't fall for that movement. Here they come, dodge left, dodge right dodge le-
"Your detection is getting stronger however it's not that strong!" Don said, hitting my side and throwing me up to the roof.
"Stravinsky Septet: Movement 1; Drill Style! Gatling Drill!" To punch down with my hands spinning mimicking a drill! Then to punch so fast, it hits multiple spots at once!
"Your drill style is starting to make me very angry!"
"Oh, yeah then take this! Drill Style, AP Drill!" A straight shot towards him!
"Repel!"
For a distraction! Now hit with my other hand!
"Drill Style, Sixty-Fourth Note! AP Drill!" To hit him faster than he can repel!
"What the-" Am I... getting hit!? Does he know? Was all that was going through the mind of Don as he then kicked Z towards the wall.
"I figured it out, haven't I?" That was all I could say looking at the man who had a shocked expression.
"..."
"You, repel my attacks with Zoe and not an actual ability, huh?" Don looked at Z emotionless, then with a smirk.
"It was about time someone caught on! Didn't expect the lowest of your bracket to do it, however. Kid, I hope you know, I'm letting you get these hits off. In retrospect, you're not that strong! You're really weak and barely have Zoe going through your body."
"Is that so?"
"Well, good thing that didn't hurt since regular attacks don't work on me. Now allow me to charge my mind a bit here!"
He's going to explain his technique.
"I have two abilities, one of them is the tentacle ability you're seeing now and the other is my defensive ability. To never receive regular physical damage! I haven't been using it much and didn't want to use it full time, however, you're someone who doesn't lose hope so this is the only way."
He... Really wasn't trying... That means.
"Hey kid, think fast!" I can't dodge this, even with detection. I got slapped so hard I hit the wall and it left cracks everywhere in the wall.
"I barely moved a tentacle, come on! Show me a little more backbone!" That's when he dashed in and kicked my stomach and then threw me in the sky and kicked me back down.
I didn't even get to see him move again, as he came crashing down with his elbow crushing my body entirely. I could feel the bones in my body break, like a twig at its breaking point. I can feel the loss of oxygen being chipped away like a fingernail being clipped.
"You... are simply the weakest kid that's faced me so far. Even the dead legless girl had a better chance against me legless than what you will have in your whole entire life."
"What did you just call her?"
"A dead legless girl."
"Just wanted to verify that I truly need to whoop your ass! I'm done, no more playing around, no more discovering tricks! I'm going to beat you down so hard that when I see your boss I can deliver your head and that's a promise. I swear on everything, I will get revenge for Aza!"
"Well then, why don't you try to hit me first."
"Gladly." I then dashed towards him and hit him and it did nothing.
"Didn't I tell you, kid, this won't work on me!" He then kicked me but I grabbed his leg and slammed him down then I kicked him in the face. Again nothing changed.
"I don't take physical damage! Don't you understand, that you can't win because you don't use anything that's not physical damage? I'm not a number four officer for no reason!"
There he goes again with the number four officer shit! Why does it feel so weird!? Why does it feel so familiar!?
I- It was definitely The Other Side. One of their upper officers we're in here, number 4 to be exact. I tried to fight them off but they stuffed me in this freezer as a threat against Alfred. That's when they went around killing everyone, I couldn't believe my eyes. Only a few escaped up the elevator although they probably got hunted down.
"Hey, you. Did you destroy our agency!?"
"Well, I wouldn't say destroy, I just say tore it up a bit."
"So you're admitting to killing all those people too."
"Me and my buddy Jano share the officer 4 title."
"I- I-.."
"This. This. This. Is so much cooler than anything I would have ever expected. Do I live here? Do I?
"I- I."
More than 2,000 people are waiting for you guys so come back home safe okay? We'll be watching you guys from the cameras around the best we can, for our ease of mind. Lastly, show them why the U.A shouldn't be messed with. Got that?"
"You..."
"We won't stop until we get revenge, no one messes with the ones we love and gets to walk free. We'll beat them down and take down their facilities for sure!"
"What kid spit it out!"
"Alright, I trust you guys. Now go out there and win!"
Z snapped this day. This fight was the fight to make Z snap.
"What I'm going to do to you is going to hurt so bad, that you're going to wish you were rotting in hell instead!"
"What was that weak kid?"
"I said, I'm not ever going to let you go, and I'm not ever going to let you leave without your head in my hand! I will personally take it and give it to your Boss just so he can see just how low-level you are! People like you deserve humiliation, death, and permanent torment... I'm done being a nice guy, accepting the way things are, cowering behind people. In this fight, I will break you down mentally and physically then kill you."
"That's big talk for a low-time like you."
Z, don't ever feel guilty for someone else's mistakes instead take those emotions and use them to get the person who is guilty... Understood?"
"Understood, Dion."
"No. I will kill you. I will, I'll make sure of it. I will deliver your head to your boss, I will surpass you, I will live past this fight, I will kill you. I swear I'll get revenge, mark my words I swear I'll get revenge!"
