Having been presumed dead, Akira woke up without any recollection of who he was. The only thing he does remember was his name, and the memory of a vivid ravenette with blood red eyes, along with her kind smile.
However, there is another thing he doe...
The two girls were amazed. Incursio was still alive within the armor and had evolved once again, giving Tatsumi a different appearance and newfound strength.
In a blink of an eye, Tatsumi disappeared from where he was standing. He was moving at high speeds, faster than what the normal eye could see, speeding off towards Esdeath. The brown-haired teen then stabbed the tip of Incursio's spear, dragging it along with him as he picked up debris, sending it towards the icy general. Esdeath simply grinned, backstepping to the side as she dodged, Tatsumi going right past her.
However, he once again moved at breakneck speed, appearing right behind the icy general. With this power surge, she was surprised at the upgrade Tatsumi received, but this only heightened her excitement for the battle. She quickly turned her body around and blocked Tatsumi's attack with her rapier, their weapons grinding up against each other as sparks flew into the air. The two warriors were now locked in a deadly clash, neither missing nor hitting each other as they kept parrying each other's attacks.
Esdeath: "Ooh...!~ That's it, Tatsumi! For the first time, we're on the same wavelength!"
Tatsumi: "Quit acting like this is all a game!"
The icy general kicked off of Tatsumi's spear, using it like it was a stepping stone as she propelled herself backwards. He kicked off the ground and gave chase, watching as Esdeath skidded to a stop and erupted an ice pillar below her. With increased strength, Tatsumi arriving at the pillar of ice, he dragged his spear upwards, cutting the ice structure in half.

It soon began to fall apart, the icy general grinning down at the brown-haired teen.
Esdeath: (thoughts) 'Such power...!'
Tatsumi: "Fire! Mine!"
Mine: "Got it!"
The pink-haired girl took the chance of opening and began to charge up another spiritual blast. She pulled the trigger, her arms being pushed back due to the force of the firepower Pumpkin unleashed. With the spiritual energy bullet heading towards Esdeath, she was left with no choice to activate her Trump Card.
Esdeath: "Mahapdama."
Time then comes to a halt, Mine standing where she was, Akira still up against the crater he was smacked into. Esdeath then landed onto the ground, making her way to the frozen sniper.
Esdeath: "It's been fun, but... This is checkmate."
She dragged the tip of her rapier along the ground, it leaving a small trail as she did so. From her distance, she was halfway near the pink-haired girl, Esdeath soon pausing and halting herself when she felt a presence nearby.
It shocked her a great deal, turning her head to see who it was and she saw it was Tatsumi, who was somehow still moving. He had suddenly come in with a flying kick, twisting his body as Esdeath raised her arm up to block it and defend. With Tatsumi striking her forearm, Esdeath staggered back a bit, skidding across the ground as her Trump Card's effects came to an end.
