The Tournament to Stop The Apocalypse, A Hololive Fan Story

Round Eight

The crowd roars as everyone anticipates the next fight, restlessness ensues, "The crowd is really on edge... that loss l wasn't taken well" Mumei says nervously, "It won't become a habit." Moona says.
The gods stay on edge, Sana and Fauna have yet to return, and Nina's band watches closely.
"The arenas new look is pretty strange..." Baelz says, while looking at the arena, it lost a ring of land and that space is replaced by a bottomless pit. "Well these two would probably take a while to fight if they had all the ground the arena usually provides, either way both agreed to the change." Omega replies from across the seats to Baelz, "it's really empty in here..." Baelz says.

"FOLLOWING THAT GREAT BOUT, WE HAVE TWO FIGHTERS WHO MAY PLAY WITH YOUR HEAD!! IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO WATCH THESE TWO SPECIFICALLY, BUT...! THE GODS GRACE YOU!!"
On the entire audience's eyes advanced looking glasses appear.
"THESE GLASSES WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE YOUR EYES WHILE THE EFFECTS OF THESE FIGHTERS TRANSPIRE!! SPEAKING OF...!"

"OUR FIRST FIGHTER, FROM A LONG LINE OF ENGLISH BLOOD!!"
The arena walls seem to open revealing a path and a blonde girl is escalated upward. To the opening.
"AN ACE DETECTIVE, AND GENIUS INVENTOR, THIS GIRLS INTELLECT IS CAPABLE OF REACHING EVEN THE GODS!!"
The blonde girl wears a simple white button up shirt with a red tie, a plaid shirt extends from just beneath her breasts down to her thighs where a holster is strapped to her leg, she wears an overcoat over her shoulders keeping her arms out of the sleeves. The blonde then takes a step off the opening and over the bottomless pit that has replaced the far outer ring of the arena. "H-Hey is she just giving up already!?" The audience ask as her foot suddenly seemingly presses against an invisible floor. She continues to walk forward confidently.
"PASSED DOWN A FAMILY HEIRLOOM HAS GIVEN HER ACCESS TO REACH EVEN THE GODS!!"
The girl reaches the stage and walks toward the center of the ring, she grabs her left shoulder with her right hand and uses her left hand to grab onto her hat from the right, she smirks as the hat covers her eyes.
"INTRODUCING... ACE DETECTIVE..."
The blonde quickly retracts both of her arms, ripping her hat off her head and pulling her coat off of her body.
"AMEEELIAAA WAAAATSSOONNN!!!"
"I've waited long enough..." Watson says as a small metal circuit looking device slides up her cheek from within her shirt.

"AND NOW, FROM THE GODS SIDE!!" Polka points to the other side of the arena "THIS GIRL!!"
The other wall opens in a similar manner to the first, and an escalator rises as a tall girl with blue hair is revealed. She wears detached sleeve on either arm, dawning a cape from her collar that goes over her breasts and a large bow sits at the center, she wears a small skirt leaving one leg exposed. She wears thigh high stockings and simple frilled heels. Her hands hold the daggers the blonde goddess had brought.
"A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, SHE IS A GOD FROM THE ORIGINAL FOUR DAUGHTERS!!" She reaches the top of the escalator and a bridge builds itself as she walks across the pit.
"FAUGHT IN TITANOMACHIA, ASSISTED IN THE END OF THE AGE OF DARKNESSS!! THIS GIRL HAS EXPERIENCED IT ALL, UNMATCHED!!"
She reaches the ring and steps forward to meet Amelia face to face.
"THE GODDESS AND WARDEN OF TIME ITSELF!! INTRODUCING... THE ONE AND ONLY, OOOUROOO KROOONIIIII!!!"

"I'll tolerate your insolence no longer."

The two fighters stand facing each other, Amelia's secrets be revealed, Kronii is determined.

"WITH BOTH FIGHTERS INTRODUCED, THE STAGE IS SET, YOU MAY BEGIN!!"

Instantly Amelia prepares to attack but Kronii is able to make the first move. All around the arena, everyone suddenly comes to a halt. Birds in the sky remain still, Polka is frozen mid-shout, and Amelia is as well motionless. The only people to move in the entire arena are Omega, Laplus, and Kronii, as she begins to walk toward the suspended Amelia. "I won't get too close to you... there's much I don't know, but I do have some suspicion..." Kronii says, "let's see if you are anything special after all...!!". Kronii tosses her dagger straight at Amelia's throat and it comes to halt just In front of it. "Time shall move again." Kronii says and the world around her begins to be in motion again. The dagger In front of Amelia's throat begins to move but Amelia instantly reacts and suddenly...

"W-What...?" Kronii says, even Omega and Laplus stare confused as the crowd begins to cheer, "how did she..."

Amelia disappeared and reappeared off the side of where she was standing, and the dagger pierces the wall at the end of the arena. Amelia stares to the dagger with a bead of sweat running down her face. "...That wasn't a time related ability... and she certainly didn't move that fast, it was instantaneous... there's more to her than I thought..." Kronii thinks to herself, "...but she remained motionless in stopped time, does that mean she's unable to move in it? No... there's a chance she's just tricking me into thinking that, then she'll wait for me to get close to suddenly move..." as Kronii thinks, Amelia begins to charge at her, "...for now... let's go...!". Amelia hops into the air with a punch using her right hand, Kronii steps to the left and Amelia's fist his the ground, shattering it. Kronii responds by taking the dagger on her left hand and raising it, meeting her right hand with the handle of the Dagger, and she slams it down toward Amelia. But, Amelia's movements are suddenly reversed as the ground comes back together and she returns to be suspended in the air, to which her movements begin to return to normal and she lands a punch on Kronii, letting out a spark of energy as Kronii is launched off of the arena.
"A-Already!?" Laplus shouts as Baelz stands from her chair and leans on the railing. Humanity cheers and Mumei smiles with Moona. "C-CLEAN HIT!! AMELIA LANDS A DEVASTATING PUNCH, SENDING KRONII OUT OF THE ARENA!! IS THIS FIGHT OVER ALREADY!?"
Kronii groans in the air as she quickly recalls her first dagger, she catches it and freezes time, holding onto it while keeping it stopped in time. She struggles to pulls herself atop the dagger, but after a couple seconds succeeds and jumps back onto the arena, resuming time and sending a swinging her dagger at Amelia. However, the dagger seemingly phases through Amelia, as she disappears. In her place, Kronii meets eyes with...
Herself. She begins to disappear as the one in Amelia's place becomes the only one remaining, "W-What just-" she's unable to finish her question when she feels something press against her head from behind. Amelia stares with conviction holding a gun to Kronii's head, with her finger around the trigger. Kronii regains her composure and quickly stops time yet again, turning and moving behind Amelia quickly, she draws her hand back with her dagger, "Screw this...!" and hurls it at Amelia. When to everyone presents' surprise...

Amelia begins to move and turns to duck beneath Kronii's swing, "gotcha...!" She says as she digs her fist straight into Kronii's stomach, causing Kronii to cough up blood and soar across the arena. Landing just on the edge of the ring and time resumes. Kronii lies motionless rything in pain, and Amelia begins to walk toward her. "What the hell are you DOING!?" Baelz shouts and Kronii becomes conscious again, she quickly gets to her feet freezes time staring at Amelia as she throws her dagger straight at her, which freezes just before hitting her face. "You should know by now that I can see you." Amelia says coldly as she grabs the handle of the dagger, and unfreezes it. Kronii stares determined, "You were as much as I expected you to be..." Kronii says, Amelia questions, "'were'?". Kronii motions her hand and the first dagger soars straight at Amelia's back. But again, the dagger seems to phase through Amelia, and Kronii is forced to catch the dagger with her hand. Causing it to slice her palm. "Tch, you got them all didn't you?" Kronii asks, "all but yours." Amelia responds while holding Kronii's second dagger close to her face with a reversed grip, "I'll be sure to fix that though."
