"I-I CANT BELIVE IT, IN PLACE OF THE MIGHTY GOD OF THE COSMOS STANDS A YOUNG BOY?!" Polka shouts, "Now who's bigger?" The boy says. "T-THE YOUNG BOY HAS TAK-" he lifts his finger in the air shaking it, "don't get it wrong. I'm still a girl and still am Sana." Sana puts her hand down.

Somewhere in the universe...

An injured Sana stands upon a random rock in Space, In front of her an unknown beast lays toppled on the ground, and behind it, thousands of others. "To think... they'd all fuse into one smaller being... and use that all their power from only one small and nimble point..." she falls backward but is caught by Kronii, "oh hey Kronii... I got the bad guys... heh" she says, "Didn't think you would've had to fight more than one... im sorry Sana." Kronii replies, "no problem, after all im right here aren't I?" The two begin to laugh.

From that experience Sana learned a new technique, one that would allow her to use her full power but safely when she needed to be limited on size, she practiced it and eventually she gave it a name, No exhaust full power Ninoichi.

Noel keeps her defensive stance and a bead of sweat drops down her face, Sana stares at her and lands on the ground. The two sharply inhale, Noel tenses up and Sana charges forward, Noel tanks Sanas hit, and sends one right back but Sana also tanks the hit, and repeat and repeat, "UNBELIEVABLE THE TWO FIGHTERS ARE INTERLOCKED IN A RAGING STORM IF PUNCH AFTER PUNCH AFTER PUNCH!!" The two continue to volley punches at eachother over and over again, Noel grunts and begins to deplete are her Kai Kotai from her arms to double the barrage. But Sana notices and strikes at Noel's fists instead, Noel moves her fists in time but without the shield Sana grazes her shoulder, sending a chunk of flesh flying off. Noel grits her teeth and grunts in pain but reapplies Kai kotai and continues the barrage.

"NOELS ATTEMPT TO GAIN THE ADVANTAGE WAS COMPLETELY THWARTED!! SANA TRULY INTENDS TO PUSH NOEL HER MERE HUMAN LIMITS!!" In the heat of the onslaught Noel begins to step backward a bit by bit, "Dammit... she's losing her ground!" Mumei says, "If this keeps up she won't last!"

Crack

Moona and Mumei gasp and widen their eyes, the crowd grows silent, and the council all grin, on Noel's Kai Kotai, In front of her face, a massive crack forms and she hesitates for a split second of a split second, Sana punches directly at the crack and shatters through, landing a punch straight to Noel's face, crushing one eye and nearly her entire head but Noel moves out of the blow in time. Noel sends another punch at Sana but Sana responds faster with a punch to her gut, breaking the shell there too. "THE MIGHTY GOD OF THE COSMOS HAS BROKEN THROUGH NOELS FINAL DEFENSE!!" Noel falls to the ground and Sana stares down, "forfeit." She says, Noel stays staring at the ground with her one eye, "No." Noel reaches into the rubble next to her and pulls out her mace, striking at Sanas knee, shattering it. Sana let's out a cry of agony, "no matter how daunting the task is... no matter how afraid I am... no matter how outmatched I am... When I'm put to defend a group of people... I WILL NOT FALTER!" Noel shouts while resummoning her Kai Kotai, everyone looks in shock.

"NOEL ISN'T OUT OF THE FIGHT YET!!" Noel stands up, "SHE HAS COMPLETELY RECOVERED HER KAI KOTAI" Noel turns her body sideways to protect her blind spot, "SHES BACK IN THE FIGHT!!" She begins to rapidly jab at Sana with her mace, she takes her Kai kotai and separates it from her body entirely, "WHAT?!?!" Sana screams out. The council all get on the edge of their seats, Mumei and Moona lean over the rail on the booth, everyone in the audience began to stand, and Noel moves out of her Kai kotai while it continues to Jab at Sana. Sana tries to move her arms to guard but Kai Kotai strikes at her arms any time they move, Noel walks behind Sana and looks at her for a second, "When I walked into this arena, I was prepared to die, never show mercy when you can kill, you'll only be giving someone another chance at your life." Noel says to Sana who begins to lose her hold on Ninoichi, Kai kotai, in a split second throws the mace into the air and switches the attack to a barrage from it, and behind Sana, Noel catches the mace and winds it back. "I won't be making that mistake." Noel swings her mace down on Sanas head.

The council stares with shock they've never felt, and the audience stares quietly. What humanity just witnessed... was it's first step... to extinction.

The mace completely shatters as Sana makes herself a shell of bent spacetime, "You're right. Third times a charm right?" Kai Kotais fists seemingly go through Sanas body and strike Noel, Sana immediately turns around and sends a punch through Noel's stomach, she releases the barrier of space time and Noel's abdomen seemingly fused with Sanas arm, Noel's eye blanks and Sana yanks out her fists, ripping a hole through Noel, Noel coughs up blood and Kai kotai fades immediately, "Oh..." Noel falls forward and Sana catches her. Sana returns to her original size and hugs Noel, "You died protecting humanity, you've lived out your desire." Sana says to Noel, "Heh... I did didn't I..." Noel says as she weakly raises her arm to seemingly punch Sana, but moves it behind her head and returns the embrace, she then slowly fades away.
