The Tournament to Stop The Apocalypse, A Hololive Fan Story

Familiarity

"KAZE NO GOTOKU: KANKETSUSEN, FUTATSU!!"

She shouts as two swirling spikes of wind rise from the ground on either side of her, and arch to strike at Reine. "Th-That's-!" Fauna stands, in another part of the arena Iroha along with Suisei look upon a screen of the fight with a shocked expression. "Iroha's technique!?" Reine shouts before sending out two large feathers out of the ground to meet the arcs of wind, which they don't hold but are able to stall for enough time to allow Reine an escape as she hops back. But her cheek drips with a bit of blood as a slice found it's way to her. Ollie exhales with a visible wind from her mouth, "that one was a bit harder to pull off~ the lungs on that girl are impressive..!" She says moving some hair off her face. Reine stands up straight wiping the blood of the slice on her cheek, and she looks at Ollie, "those eyes... they can probably replicate whatever skill she see's... whether she can copy a gods' or not is uncertain... she most likely can't or else she'd've wiped me out with either my own moves or kronii's... that is, unless she's toying with me..." Reine thinks to herself before raising her scythe and pointing it at Ollie, "I understand you are deserving of some respect, I'll bless you with the honor of me actually fighting you seriously." Reine says before swinging her scythe down into a stance, "tch... don't give me that..." Ollie says under her breath with her smile fading for the first time in this fight, before it returns as she dashes at Reine.

In a resting quarters Iroha and Suisei watch the battle, "she even pulled off 'Kaze Hari'... though she did miss..." Iroha sighs, "I thought your 'Kaze no Gotoku' moves were impossible to do without Chakimaru, does she have a similar word to chakimaru?" Suisei asks, with her arm resting on Iroha's shoulder. "No, they're possible to do without Chakimaru, it'd just be extraordinarily difficult.." Iroha reaches down and pulls up Chakimaru still sheathed, "Kaze no Gotoku is basic wind magic, but with wind being the weakest art of physical magic, I had to compensate by using Chakimaru's incredible sealed winds to amplify my own.. for her abilities to be that powerful, it's not that she has a similar sword or another source of powerful winds... it's just that she can use wind magic at this level.. she must've just replicated the same moves I did at her expense, but clearly she can't do them perfectly, 'Kaze Hari' only grazed Reine.." Iroha explains further.
"So you ever heard of this girl before? I'm not from Earth so is she someone special?" Suisei asks, Iroha continues to seem focused, "I've never heard of her.. I've been around for thousands of years most of the time sealed away, but when I was around, the only significant figures I've heard of who have fought in this Tournament were Shirogane Noel, of the kingdom of Atlas, and Pavolia Reine, of the illustrious Pavolia kingdom before she ascended to godhood.. other notable people names were her sister, Olivia who was stronger than Reine before she fell ill and died.. maybe Yukihana Lamy of the Norwegian Snow elves.. or kobo Kanaeru..-" her train of thought is cut off as she notices something in the battle.

Back in the arena
"tch... don't give me that..." Ollie says under her breath with her smile fading for the first time in this fight, before it returns as she dashes at Reine. Reine readies herself and swings her scythe around herself just before Ollie enters her range, timing the strike perfectly. "H-Hey!! Watch out!" Mumei shouts to no avail, the gods smile unsurprised as Ollie enters Reines range and, to humanity's despair, is sliced in two. Reine moves over to the right as Ollie's upper body flies past her and lands a few feet away, her lower body having fallen closer to Reine. Reine walks to Ollie's torso, who seems to be squirming, barely alive.

"O-OLLIE HAS BEEN SLICED IN TWO!! HAS THIS BEEN THE SHORTEST MATCH THIS TOURNAMENT HAS SEEN!? REINE SEEKS TO FINISH THE JOB!!"

"Guess I didn't need to after all.." Reine says raising her Scythe, "U... ro... mi.. ba.. ya..." a faint and weak voices comes from Ollie, pausing Reine's execution, "speak up, I'll at least give you final words." Reine demands before Ollie suddenly turns over with a twisted smile, "USHIRO O MIRO, BAKAYARO!!" Ollie cackles before Reine is kicked on the right of her waist from behind, sending her to the right by a few feet, she lands on all fours before looking to where she once was, and sees Ollie lower body standing before it gets to one knee and lays in line with Ollie's upper body, Ollie inches down and the loose sediment below her begins to shake before powder rises from it and form's stitches connecting her upper and lower half bringing her back to a whole and she pushes herself up before standing and laughing. "HAHAHA~ Oh~ you should've seen the look on your face~!" Ollie continues to laugh before Reine charges forward sending her feathers forward, Ollie cutely twirls before deflecting each one using her sword. A slice to the left, diagonally upwards to the right, downwards, then doing another unnecessary twirl to slice the last two, using her arrow for the second one. Reine groans before finally reaching Ollie with a diagonally downward slash using her scythe, Ollie smiles menacingly before choosing to duck beneath the attack and counters with a reverse gripped pierce of the arrow, straight to Reine's stomach. "You think that's enough to sto-" Reine's cut off by a feeling of pain through her body, and a bright light shines from her wound. She drops her Scythe which turns back into the scepter she held earlier upon entrance.

"W-What's happening!?" Baelz shouts as omega is holding her chin thinking to herself fairly surprised.

The arrow begins strobing with a light that flows away from Reine's wound as the same light begins to encompass Reine, "Welcome back...!" Ollie shouts before the strobing fades and she kicks Reine away, holding the arrow in her hand and looking at its now radiant glow with a smug smile. Reine lands a few feet away coughing blood and weakly comes to a knee, "what did you do...!?" She asks while looking at her shivering blood covered hand, she clenches it into a fist and looks back at Ollie, "I SAID WHAT DID YOU DO!!" She shouts in a sense of anguish. Ollie twirls the arrow in her fingers before putting it away, "Oh you know what I did.. Reine.. say it nice and clear for the audience.. including your godly friends~!" Ollie taunts. Reine in her mind knew exactly what happened she only wanted some form of confirmation to sooth her, as she's returned to a previous state, one she thought to never return, Mortality. "I... won't give you the pleasure in that..." Reine responds before seeming to notice something.. else, and Ollie smirks. "Took you long enough.." she says as Reine stares wide eyed, in her vision she sees Ollie's twisted grin, fade to a distant memory of a young and happily smiling red haired girl named, Pavolia Olivia.
