Chapter Text
Isabella and Mezu are standing in front of each other and are ready to fight.
Mezu lifts his club over his head with the intent to knock Isabella out with one mighty blow.
As he swings his arms downwards to follow through he suddenly stops, but not of his own free will. He was surrounded by the pink veil of Isabella’s psychic power.
She walks forwards and lifts her cane and places the end of it against Mezu’s abs.
“Psycho Shock!” Isabella yells out as an enormous burst of psychic energy surges through Mezu’s body.
After the attack runs its course he is still for a moment before he drops his club on the ground.
He falls to his knees, but supports himself with one arm so he doesn’t fall completely.
“You seem tough, but don’t you know that brains are better than brawn?” She says while using the end of her cane to tap the brim of her hat.
Mezu suddenly glares at Isabella and slowly starts to get back up.
Even though he is incredibly hurt he just grunts through the pain. When he manages to get back on his feet he picks his club back up.
“...Annoying worm…I’ll show you your place…”
He swings his club upwards again, but instead of aiming for Isabella he just smashes it directly against the ground. This causes a fissure to start forming across the pavement with cracks starting to head in Isabella and Love’s direction.
Isabella uses her powers to create a bubble of energy to protect herself and Love.
“...It’s going to take more than that to defeat me…” Isabella says while breathing heavily. It seems like she is still recovering from her fight with Yoh.
Mezu walks towards the energy bubble and slams his club against it.
This causes his club to splinter, but a moment after the impact the shield disappears.
Isabella drops her cane and puts her hands on her knees so that she could catch her breath.
“...That was…my favorite club…” Mezu growls out.
He kneels down and slams his fists into the pavement. After exerting a massive amount of force he pulls a giant chunk of rock from the ground.
“...Die!” Mezu yells as he hurls the stone towards Isabella.
Isabella creates a wall of energy, but as the stone slams against it the shield shatters instantly. She quickly uses her powers to grab Love and toss her out of the way.
The stone slab lands right on top of Isabella.
“...Miss IQ…” Love says quietly while covering her mouth as tears formed at the corners of her eyes.
Urchin suddenly turns his attention from the henchmen he has been fighting and towards his team leader.
He is silent for a moment as he processes what had just happened.
After a moment he suddenly starts to get angry. Very, very angry.
“Isabella!” Spyke screams out.
He starts to head towards her location, but he is quickly stopped by Kendo.
“Get out of my way!” Spyke says while extending his claws to threaten the man in front of him.
“Make me.” Kendo says as he points his wooden sword at Spyke.
“Fine!” Spyke says immediately before sending a barrage of claw swipes towards his opponent.
Kendo parries all of these strikes perfectly. When he finds an opening in Urchin’s defenses he slams the blunt end of his blade against his opponent’s forehead.
“If you want to try to save your friend, you’re going to have to do better than that.” Kendo says as he puts his sword to his own shoulder.
Kendo jumps into the air and sends a vertical slash down towards Urchin.
He dodges, but there is now a crack on the ground right where he was just standing.
Kendo walks towards Urchin and slashes at his head.
Urchin grabs the wooden sword using his right hand.
“...What?” Kendo says with a look of shock on his face.
Urchin uses his strength to turn Kendo’s sword horizontally and uses his other hand to cut it into pieces.
Kendo drops the remaining pieces of the sword and staggers backwards.
“...Listen close, punk…” Urchin says as he walks towards Kendo. “...Never mess with me or my team ever again!”
Before Kendo had a chance to react Urchin quickly extended the claw on the pointer finger of his right hand all the way to Kendo’s stomach. He then flies back against a wall before crumpling to the floor.
After taking a moment to catch his breath Urchin turns his attention back towards the rock that is currently on top of his team leader.
“...Don’t worry…you’ll be fine…” Love says between choked sobs. “...I’ll get this thing off you and…we’ll get you to a doctor…”
He notices that Love is trying to use all of her strength to get the rock off of the hero.
Her grip slips from the rock and she stumbles backwards before falling down.
Love puts her head into her hands and sobs uncontrollably.
Right before she started to think that all hope was lost she sees a veil of pink energy surround the stone.
It shatters right in front of Love’s eyes and she rubs her eyes to check if what she was seeing was real (along with getting some of the tears out of her eyes).
A shape starts to emerge from underneath the rubble.
“Psycho Blast!”
A giant beam of pink energy shoots through the remaining layer of stone.
Isabella climbs out of the rubble and brushes a bunch of rocks off of her suit.
She points her cane at Mezu again.
“Hey meathead! The show’s not over yet!”
The blue Oni turns around and grunts.
Isabella uses her powers to lift hundreds of small fragments of rock and levitate them around herself.
She then compresses them until they all crystallize.
“Diamond Storm!” Isabella yells as she launches all of the gemstones towards Mezu.
Mezu uses his arms to try to block the attack, but this only works for a short while. One of the stones that flies towards him manages to break the radius bone in his right arm.
“Fuck! You bitch!” Mezu yells out in pain while using his good arm to grab the broken one.
After the attack ends Mezu notices that Isabella is walking towards him through the dust.
As it clears he realizes that has her cane aimed right at his head.
His entire body is surrounded by pink energy as he is lifted into the air.
“...Put…me…down!”
“With pleasure!” Isabella says with a smirk. She walks towards him and places her cane against his stomach again.
“Psycho Shock!” She yells again.
The energy quickly flows through Mezu’s body as he screams in pain.
As she releases him he falls towards the floor and passes out.
Isabella walks towards Mezu’s unconscious body, leans on his side, and snaps her fingers.
A cup of tea suddenly materialized in her hand and she took a sip.
“...Ah…How sweet…” Isabella lets out a slow breath. “...I love the taste of victory…”
