Multiversal Tournament

Brothers Reinvigorated

Before Ozul could land the next punch, which probably would've ended the fight, someone beat him to it. Ozul was knocked away from Prokaz and the Endrian warrior looked up. It was Kaira! He had gotten to the battle and knocked Ozul away with a supercharged punch from the robotic fist. Ozul slid across the ground and when he stopped, he looked up at his attacker.

"K-Kaira!?" Prokaz exclaimed.

"Heh, you're back up on your feet, huh?" Ozul asked as he stood back up straight with a grunt "That's fine with me."

"Prokaz, stay down. You've done enough in this fight." Prokaz tried to get up and retort, but all he could do was sit there and cough up some more blood "I'm gonna jump in for the time being."

Ozul cracked his neck and turned his right hand into a pure black blade. He ran toward Kaira and stabbed at his stomach, but the younger warrior caught the blade. It took every ounce of will power Kaira had not to let go of the sharp and burning hot blade. Kaira growled and closed his eyes tightly as the blade pushed toward his stomach and slowly cut into his hand. Ozul pushed even more until Kaira transitioned into his Inferno State and yelled while snapping the blade apart. The moment Kaira's hand let go of the part that was connected to Ozul, he teleported. He reappeared right behind Kaira and the boy looked down at his arm. It seemed to get slightly thinner as Ozul slammed his fist into the back of Kaira's neck. The impact felt different for Ozul than earlier, but the result was still the same.

Kaira fell to his knees, then fell face first to the ground once again, so Ozul turned around, and told him "I'll fight you again after I deal with your brother." He began to walk back to Prokaz, but he was suddenly shot in the back by a fireball "What!?" He turned around and saw Kaira standing with his hand outstretched "Wait, how did you...?"

"I'm pretty adaptable... and moves like yours are only gonna work on me for so long," Kaira replied with a grin "Try switching it up a little, just like last time."

Ozul was about to retort, but what Kaira said actually made him stop. He just stared at the boy for a moment before looking down at the ground and chuckling quietly. Prokaz growled as he saw his brother and his enemy having such a casual conversation during the middle of a battle. Ozul looked up into the air and just stared laughing, but not evilly or maliciously, he was just amused. Kaira could sense the nature if the laughter and began laughing along with him. After about thirty seconds of them laughing together, they stopped and looked at each other again.

"You, heh... you know, kid?" He asked while getting over the laughter "It has been ages since I've had such a good laugh. I'm going to miss you when you're gone."

"Man, I'm not going anywhere. Maybe you should come at me again and I'll show you."

"You know what?" Ozul got back into his battle stance "I might just." He jumped at Kaira again and they continued their battle "Let's see this strategy of yours."

"Oh no, this time it's my turn!"

Kaira jumped up and Ozul stopped in his tracks, then blocked a flying roundhouse with his forearm. They grinned at one another, then Kaira spun around, and punched at his chest. Ozul stepped back and blocked the attack with both forearms. Kaira landed on the ground, then they both pulled their fists back. They swung a punch at each other and their fists collided. They pushed against one another for a moment before their fists went past the other. Kaira pulled his fist back again and Ozul did the same. Kaira swung a punch at him, but Ozul ducked underneath it. Kaira looked down and his metal arm became ever so slightly slimmer once again. Ozul's fist collided with his stomach and Kaira coughed up some blood, but the attack didn't seem to do much damage somehow. Kaira groaned and wiped the blood from his mouth, then grabbed Ozul's arm, and pulled it away from his stomach. Kaira supercharged his metal fist again, which grew back to normal size. The moment Ozul noticed the size change, Kaira punched him in the chest. Ozul was pushed backwards by the attack, but didn't even come close to falling. He stopped himself and jumped back, then backflipped, and rose up into the air.
