Eight: Season 3

Episode 71: Taking Back Arcadia-Kirishima vs Lyon

Kirishima-
  "What a shame you're fighting me...Kiri." Lyon said.
He came out of the shadows. He had short, slicked back, white hair; red eyes; and pale skin. He wore dark purple, flat pauldrons with spikes on the ends; a red, skin-tight turtle neck, long sleeved top; silver gauntlets around his arms; khaki pants with black flames coming up from the bottom; silver armored boots; a white trench coat with black designs on the end, and a brown belt around his waist that was velcro.
"Nah, you're the one who's gonna regret fighting me." I said, slamming my fists together and taking my stance.
Lyon closed his eyes and chuckled. "We'll see who's winning, EIJIRO!!" Lyon yelled.
"IT WON'T BE YOU!" I shouted.
  "Shadow Pet-Cerberus!!" Lyon shouted.
I went to guard, but the attack diverted and went for the tower. "No!" I shouted.
  "Metal Dome!" I shouted, and the tower was protected. "Phew." I sighed, in relief.
"Aww, you took the fun out of this match." Lyon said, petting Cerberus.
"This stays between us." I said, getting into my stance.
Lyon laughed. "Oh, very well." Lyon said. "Cerberus: Hellhound Barrage!" Lyon shouted.
Cerberus roared and charged towards me. "Damnit!" I thought. "Metal Cerberus!" I shouted, the metal hellhound appeared and defended me.
We were knocked back by the claw slashed from Lyon's hound. My attack vanished, and I guarded in an X to protect myself from Lyon's onslaught as he just laughed evilly. I got slashed over and over, repeatedly, multiple times.
I growled. "Metal Dragon's Claws!" I shouted, slashing outward and hitting Cerberus back.
"Cerberus: Hell Bark Blast!" Lyon shouted.
Cerberus fired his blast. "Metal Dragon Roar!" I shouted, and the blasts clashed. His overwhelmed mine and I skidded back.
  "This damn demon dog is a damn fucking problem." I said.
"Kiri! I've got your back!" Tetsu shouted, up from his battle and attacking Cerberus and they began to fight.
"Thanks Tetsu." I said.
"Yep!" Tetsu shouted.
"Tough brat." Lyon said.
  "Did you really expect me to just roll over and let you beat me?" I asked.
"Such a metal attitude, at least that hasn't changed." Lyon said. "Shadow Demon Summons-Demogorgon!" Lyon shouted.
The demon was summoned and roared. "Metal Dragon's Oblivion Bow!" I shouted, and I shot it at Demogorogon.
  He was sent back to Hell. "No more hiding behind your pets." I said.
"You seem fairly worthy of my abilities." Lyon said.
"Metal Escrima Sticks!" I shouted, creating two pole-arms to fight with.
"An excellent choice of weapon, it shows control and mastery over the martial arts. Me? I personally prefer the broad swords. They show a particular power and prowess over the martial arts. Shadow Dual Broad Swords!" Lyon shouted, creating two of them.
I spun my escrima sticks, we ran at each other, and started clashing with one another. Tetsu was keeping Cerberus at bay, thankfully. That's not a problem I needed.
We knocked each other back, scratched up. "Shadow Demon Blast!!!" He shouted.
"Metal Shield!" I shouted, and the blast was negated.
"Behind you!" Lyon shouted, elbowing me in my lower back.
"AAAGGGHHH!" I screamed out in pain, hitting my knees.
  Lyon kicked my left rib cage and sent me flying through multiple buildings.
  "Hey! Keep the damage to a minimum!" Sero shouted, blocking an attack from Xia.
"Sorry." Tetsu and I said, in sync, and then Lyon tackled me back and I got stuck in a building, sprawled out.
"Grr...grr." I grunted in pain, eyes closed.
"Hell Bomb!!!" Lyon shouted, tossing it into my gut.
I screamed out again and hit my elbows and knees. "You're losing." Vulcan said.
"Don't you think I know that?" I asked, breathing heavily and sweating.
"You should do something about that." Vulcan said.
"I really...don't need...your attitude right now." I said, standing up and gripping my gut.
"Internal conflict?" Lyon asked.
"Yeah something like that." I said.
"Shadow Slicer!" Lyon shouted.
I quadruple backflipped over it to dodge, and landed in my hands and feet low to the ground. It sliced a distant mountain clean in half.
"Whoa." Vulcan and I said in sync.
"That could have been bad." I thought, grunting in pain.
There was a deep cut from the edge of the slicer on my abdomen. I covered it with my right arm, hiding it. "I'm impressed you dodged that and cane out unscathed." Lyon said.
"Oh really? Is that supposed to be a finishing move?" I asked.
Lyon chuckled darkly. "One of many." Lyon said.
We continued to battle, our magic's lighting up the area in midnight blue and black-purple. We fought for hours, and then jump kicked each other back breathing heavily. "I must admit Eijiro, no one has survived against me for this long. Let alone given me a fight of this caliber!" Lyon shouted, wrapping his hands in black-purple flames.
I wrapped mine in metal and we clashed fists and went to hand-to-hand melee combat. I saw a brief opening, for a split second. "Metal Dragon's Fist!" I shouted, and I struck his gut.
He flew into the air spitting up blood. "Metal Dragon Wings!" I shouted, and I flew into the air.
I had my fists covered in my metal and I barraged him with an array of attacks with my feet and fists. "Metal Serpent's Strike!!" I shouted, and I hit him through the ground.
I landed on the ground, stumbling to regain my balance. Lyon popped up in black-purple flames. "I TIRE OF THIS BATTLE!!" Lyon shouted.
"That makes two of us." I said.
"GRR...RAH!!!" Lyon screamed, charging at me in a spiral. "Shadow Demon's Spiral!" He shouted.
"I'd say you pissed him off!" Vulcan exclaimed.
"Nah, ya' think!?" I asked, and I caught his spiral on my metal coated fists.
I gripped him and tossed him into the ground. He skidded, and then stood up.
"Cerberus, return!" Lyon shouted, and the hellhound was put back into his body.
Tetsu fell down and collapsed, exhausted. "Rest now Tetsu, I can do the rest." I whispered, smiling and moving him to the side.
I turned to Lyon and looked at him with a sharp hate in my eyes. We fought more, and I kicked his ass more. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU KIRISHIMA!!!" Lyon shouted.
"Oh fuck." Vulcan and I said in sync.
He powered up, and his magic shot through the roof. "This is bad." I said.
"You think?" Vulcan asked.
"Shadow Hell Brand!!!" Lyon shouted.
He came at me faster than the eye could see and faster than my magic could react. I gasped, as he attacked and ended up behind me. I gagged, coughing up blood. I hit my knees, gripping my abdomen.
"G-thh, g-thh." I gaked and gurgled.
I cried, I was in so much pain. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, I was a helpless deer caught in headlights. Lyon brutalized the ever loving shit out of me. My back struck a ledge and I fell to the ground.
Lyon laughed evilly. "You've lost! Haha, you've lost!!! You're dead!" Lyon shouted.
I sat up to my knees, my mouth bleeding, and I laughed shakily. "Is that a fact?" I asked, struggling to stand.
"WHAT!? YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE DRAWING BREATH RIGHT NOW!!" Lyon screamed.
I laughed, standing up, my back to him, wiping my mouth. "If you thought an attack like that would stop me...hehe, then you truly have no clue just who...you're...dealing with! Let me show you." I said, and I was wrapped in a midnight blue magic aura.
There was a dragon howl and Vulcan wrapped around my body like a snake coils its prey. My eyes were glowing midnight blue. "What the hell?" Lyon asked.
"Metal Dragon Vulcan's Spirit!" I yelled.
"GRR...RAH!!!" Lyon shouted, charging at me.
I stuck my hand out. "Vanish." I said, mine and Vulcan's voice fused together.
Lyon began to bleed deeply. He screamed and whined, hopelessly caught in the aura. He got out of the aura, but he was heavily, heavily, HEAVILY damaged.
I walked forward towards him. "This is impossible!" Lyon shouted.
"Like I said, you...don't...know me." I said.
"Metal Dragon Vulcan's Meteora!" I yelled, and I struck Lyon with a blast that had the comparable mass and damage of a falling planet.
Lyon passed out, the whites of his eyes showing as he laid there, motionless.
  Vulcan disappeared and I stumbled to the ground and gripped my abdomen as I passed out.
