The Tournament to Stop The Apocalypse, A Hololive Fan Story

A Weakness

Ayame stands pointing her flaming blade at Iroha and widens her three eyes, she can follow the flow of the flames, the path of a fallen leaf, the current in the air, even the vibration in the ground, she inhales sharply and dashes at Iroha.

Iroha takes her sword and readies to strike before Ayame could take a fighting stance, she swings before Ayame has Iroha in her range and prepares her body to do a second swing as she sends the first. Ayame ducks under the first strike and Iroha spins around and uses wind to hasten her rising slice. Ayame stands straight and bends herself back avoiding the slice, Iroha grits her teeth and stops her strike after it misses then reverses her grip to attempt to stab Ayame from behind but Ayame steps around Iroha just before the stab lands then finally slices for herself, finally landing a gash on Irohas eyebrow with Asura. Ayame follows up with a reverse gripped slice with Rakshasa to Irohas stomach. Iroha uses wind to direct Ayames blade away from her and avoids a deep gash but is cut on her abdomen. She grunts and slashes at Ayame, successfully slicing her arm.

Iroha glances again and notices the cut she just gave on Ayames arm is the only one, even though, shortly beforehand she had redirected Ayames attack back at her but the cut that was there had vanished, a moment passes and Iroha notices the cut she just gave is also gone, and to top it off, Ayame has her right eye open. The only wound that remained on Ayames body was her left horn being gone.

"Where ya looking?!" Ayame shouts and slashes at Iroha again Iroha swings back and the two blades clash then dashes back. Ayame smiles and draws Rakshasa back then closes her eyes, she brings it forward and flips it then stabs it into the ground a red flame wraps her and she opens her three eyes. A wave of flame hurls at Iroha and Iroha points her blade forward and sends a cone of wind to avoid the flames. Ayame widens her eyes and the flames grow stronger and heat from them cause Iroha to lose her breath, she collapses and the flame closes in, she pants for a second and unleashes a quick stab with her sword and sends a high pressure beam of wind through the flames and strikes Ayames shoulder, making Ayame let go of Rakshasa and she falls backward.
The flame subsides and Iroha gasps for air while looking at Ayame who props herself up, she gets a good view and see Ayames third eye twitching and the wound she just caused not healing. She continues to pant and grabs her sword while standing up.

She looks down at her blade and back to Ayame.
"I know that the only way I win this is by killing you, Ayame..." Iroha says in a somber tone Ayame looks at her confused, "I hope I can see you again... but..." Iroha takes a stance and a small waving wind begins to emit from under her feet, "I will have to end this match, before you can acknowledge your own weakness." She looks at Ayame with conviction and Ayame stares back, "Not bad... but y'know, you might want to save that kind of talk for after im defeated!" Ayame hops up and grabs Rakshasa, her third eye stops twitching and stares at Iroha, "I haven't finished with you yet!"
