Gura points her trident at Chloe with a smile, "It's finally time to get serious, you little shrimp!!"

She lifts her trident and bursts with speed up to the waters surface and points at the gods booth, "Omega, you know what to do now, dontcha?"
Gura says, Omega looks over to Chloe who just nods then she stands off her seat and raises her arms toward the arena, instantly, Gura and Chloe are transported to the ocean, atop one island roughly the size of the arena.
"Hey~ Not too bad!" Gura says while looking around. Chloe also looks around in silence, "so, you gonna take this fight the same you have been?" Gura asks, " Y'know, Adapt to my strength and overcome it?". Chloe looks confused, "the suit will, not me." Chloe responds as she looks at her cracked mask. "Heh, Y'know that suit of yours, while it may be aiding you, the powers you claim belong to it are yours it's just helping you conjure them and at your current level it might as well be a placebo." Gura explains and Chloe continues to look at her mask then to Gura, "you don't know what you're talking about." Chloe responds. Gura scoffs, "whatever have it your way." The two get into a stance and Gura initiates. Gura jumps into the air and looking down at Chloe she draws back her trident

"Divine Lightning!!"

Gura unleashes a rain of strikes with her trident and the slams of the blades hitting the ground makes a thunderous clap. Chloe manages to dodge each strike but loses balance as the ground shakes. She trips and Gura draws her trident back for a definitive strike. She thrusts her trident forward as a spiraling wind is released from the point of the trident. Chloe gets to her knees and extends her hands. She braces while unleashing a powerful grunt and her hands begin to spark. Before everyone's eyes she manages to catch Gura's strike, holding her trident by the two outer prongs. She twists her body causing the trident to also twist along with Gura and she swings the two around to a nearby tree, shattering it like glass. From the cloudy risen sand, Gura dashes out undeterred, however Chloe remains composed. Gura leaps into the air and slams her trident down but Chloe jumps back to avoid. The sky whirls as winds pick up, waves clash against the shore and clouds black out the sky. Sparks of blue illuminate the sky as a large rumble shakes the earth, cold drops fill the air and the sky becomes Alive. Lightning ceases as a large blue light behind the clouds flickers stronger. Chloe loses her cool as she realizes what thoughts are behind Gura's cold smile. She looks around for possible cover but can't find anything. The blue light illuminates the island and suddenly.

A flash, and a boom.

Shockwaves blast back trees and the clouds, the sun shines back to the island as the sky was ripped apart. Chloe stands for a moment and falls to the ground, around her a small crater made by the tremendous strike of lightning. Gura lifts her trident out of the sand and stands straight, "I don't quite have a name for that one yet... I've only ever used it once and never thought I'd ever need to again" Gura rambles, "and the fact your even in one piece instead of a pile of dust is impressive...". Chloe twitches as her consciousness fades...

In a flowery field Chloe stumbles on and falls to her knees, she catches her breath and looks up to see a man standing with his hands behind his back looking on into the distance. "Father...?"
The man looks to the side and takes a deep breath, "It's too early for you to be here you know." he says. Chloe looks to him and sheds a tear, "I can't do it... she shattered the suit... I have nothing left, she's too strong...".
Her father chuckles, "well of course you're struggling, you chose your first fight to be with a god silly." He responds, "B-But the suit without it I-" she's cut off, "without the suit? Chloe, darling, that suit was merely a device to allow you to scan an opponent's power and to allow you use of your abilities without your own stamina, everything else? That's you it's your power." He explains.
Chloe looks at her hands in shock and back up to him, "so... what Gura said... it's true?" She asks,
"Yes, every word of it, Chloe." He answers calmly.
"But the suit... I got it all messed up it was your greatest invention wasn't it?" She asks desperately, her father turns around and looks her in the eyes, "my life's long over, even if it wasn't and I was at that arena, I wouldn't sulk."
He continues, "That was merely a vessel, a shell for you to crack out of, it merely enabled, you, my True Greatest Creation." He says with a smile.
Chloe stares up and smiles too while wiping her tears, "now stand up, Chloe, go back prove Your power take Your name and etch it into the memories of humanity and create Your Legacy!"

"Alright then, Ima go ahead and chop your head off, may you Rest In Peace in Valhalla..."
Gura raises her trident and prepares to slam it on Chloe's neck, and Chloe twitches. Gura pauses and stares. blue sparks encircle Chloe's arms. Gura's eyes widen as the clouds return, "N-No way...!!" Gura shouts. Chloe clenches her fists and she lifts her head from the sand, her eyes glowing blue sparking as her hands are. She gets to her knees as the winds pick up and waves crash. Gura slams her trident down but Chloe dodges by rolling out of the way, she quickly hops to her feet and looks at Gura, "hey, god?" She says, "you were right, it was a placebo, and I was lame beyond comprehension, But!" Chloe stomps her foot onto the ground as her remaining armor falls off of her body. She reaches for her mask, but instead she feels a different material. She smiles and slides it under her bangs and presses it onto her face. She looks up at Gura as the light and sparks escape her mask. "This thing ripped the sky apart didn't it? Here, I'll give it a name for you...!!!!!"

"SKY EATER, HEAVENLY FLASH!!"

Blue light builds in the clouds and finally, a flash and a crash, the ground shattering sky eating thunder clap strikes Gura the same way it did Chloe. Chloe pants as Gura falls to her knees
