"You had your chance." Chloe says as her bladed hand makes contact with Gura's neck.
Just in that moment, the only one to have any awareness of the next events, was Gura as she faded into her subconscious.
Around her, the world seemed to stand still bubbles suspended In the water as they come off Chloe's strike, and, from the silence...
Clap... Clap... Clap...
"Well now, haven't you gotten yourself in a great position... Princess..." a voice, similar to Gura's says form behind. Gura remains speechless as she kneels prepared for the fate that awaits her.
"Yknow, I've never actually gotten this far... I guess that small fry's words really dealt something to you didn't they?" The voice continues, "Stop giving me the silent treatment princess, you can't deny my existence any longer now that I'm this far.", Gura remains silent.
"I SAID SAY SOMETHING DAMN YOU!!"
Gura flinches and looks back, standing before her
A replica of herself, only with any ounce of blue replaced with red. "You've pushed me so far down in your mind that you almost fell out of godhood, yknow no matter how much you shun the gods, you still are one and me? I'm you, my power is yours and your weakness is mine unfortunately." The red Gura continues.
"Get to the point." Blue says. Red scoffs, "is it not obvious? Im saying it's my turn." Red says seriously, "or, let down Atlantis, and fall here in shame as a weak coward who couldn't accept their own strength.". Blue pushes Chloe's hand out of the way and stands up pushing the clones off her body. She walks towards red and past her.
"Just don't kill her..." blue fades into the darkness of the water and red smiles as she walks behind Chloe with her back against Chloe's.Back In the present
"This will be the most fun I've had in a while~"
Gura says as she licks her trident.
She immediately stomps her foot into the ground, causing two rows of tridents to form in a line and point at Chloe. One by one, at a high rate of speed, they are sent flying at Chloe as Gura let's out a devious cackle. As her attack did earlier, each trident creates a spiral of bubbles from around it. Chloe stares in shock as she attempts to deflect the first trident, but quickly her suit withdraws her hand and dodges the Trident. She dodges the rest as Gura watches with a smile, "Yo! That suit of yours, it's not half bad! But, that's a hurdle I'll need to cross... by destroying it!!". Gura charges in with a combo of strikes, not a barrage as Blue had demonstrated earlier, but individual, fast, forceful, and aimed, slashes one after another. Chloe narrowly dodges each blow as her suit begins to heat up from the force of the trident scraping by and shockwaves blast sand up behind Chloe. By the audience, against the invisible barrier keeping the fighters from indirectly hurting the crowd, small knocks startle the spectators as they soar from the center of the stadium to the outliers. Gura closes in and swings her trident, sending Chloe rolling back.
"Ha~, This next one, will end it all...!!"
Gura grabs her trident by the handle just beneath the head and lowers her stance, she tilts her body pointing her left arm at Chloe and in her right she raises the trident high above her head. Then, as steam rises from Gura's hand, she slides it down the trident, extending the length and building up force. She reaches the bottom as she slams it down with such strength, that the handle seems to bend and, like a hammer, the trident slams down on Chloe."EARTH SHATTER, HAMMERING SMASH!!"
Chloe desperately raises her arms crossed above her head while crouching for more stability, the trident slams into her arms and easily shatter through her armor. A light ringing is heard as rings of energy expel from Chloe's arms at the point of contact. She gazes for a moment but Gura. Is still standing strong, she smiles and with her left palm she slams down on the trident while lifting the end of the handle with her right,
"I... Am the ruler of Atlantis, the seven seas, the very world you live in... I am a God, AND YOU WILL BOW!!" Gura let's out a roar as she pushes and pulls even harder. Finally, Chloe lowers her head and her arms give in, they bend inward, not breaking them but also avoiding the trident as the base of Chloe's neck is slammed with the trident. Sand and dirt are blown form the ground as Gura is flung into the air with the trident and lands behind Chloe. She lets out a deep exhale and looks behind her, she swings her trident to clear the sediment and Chloe lies face down in a small crater. She stares and Chloe's hand twitches as she coughs up blood. Gura smiles as she turns around and she gets into a stance, "stand up already!! Let's keep going!!" Gura shouts.Chloe twitches as she struggles to get to her knees. panting, she looks at her armorless arms, and some armor on her body crumbles as she finally gets to her feet. "It's hopeless... this was a good fight but, from here it's downhill..." Chloe says weakly, "how unfortunate." Gura says as she raises her trident in preparation to throw it. And Chloe's mask falls off, revealing her red eyes as they close. Gura hurls the trident at Chloe and it tears through Chloe's stomach. Gura turns her back to Chloe and stares into the deep.
"Blue won't be happy about this..."From within her mind... "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, BEHIND YOU!!"
Red turns around and her very own trident pierces her own stomach. Chloe stands as the clone who was pierced fades.
"If you were really a good fighter, you should've known someone like me would play a trick like that!!"
