Clash

"You finally got out of that damn lab cell huh? Takeyama." She asks. The woman glances towards the approaching figure, her demeanor shifting slightly upon recognizing the new arrival. "Looks like you finally broke out," she retorts, her voice tinged with grudging respect. Meanwhile, the man emerges from the shadows, his figure clad in chains that rattle as he moves. It's a massive man with muscles all over his body who has a very angry face. His eyes gleam with a dark intensity, his presence exuding an aura of menace. Aoi seeing this, gets up in order to help Nero. The man begins to speak. Aoi, battered but determined, pushes herself up and approaches Nero's side, offering her support. The man, now revealed, addresses them in a gravelly voice. "You seem to be causing quite the chaos here," he remarks, his eyes darting between the two adversaries. "I would attempt to kill you first Shiro. However, these two youngling seems like easy targets." The man speaks to the woman, revealing her name.

The woman, now identified as Shiro, scoffs at the man's remark. "Oh, you would, wouldn't you?" she taunts, a scoff escaping her lips, unimpressed by his bravado. She regards the duo with a dismissive glance, her gaze filled with condescension. "These two are far from easy targets," she retorts, a hint of amusement in her voice. "The girl was pretty easy for me. However, she would beat you if you were to fight her." Shiro warns Takeyama. Shiro regards Takeyama with a disdainful glint in her eyes. "The girl may have some fight, but she wouldn't have a chance against me," he retorts, his voice dripping with sarcasm. The confidence in his words is unshakeable, his conviction in her own abilities apparent. "Her ability is Magnetism. Not good for your chains. Don't say I didn't warn ya" Shiro informs Takeyama as she takes her stance again. Takeyama's eyes narrow as he processes Shiro's warning. His gaze shifts between Shiro and Aoi, assessing the threat posed by her magnetism. "Magnetism, huh?" he muses, a hint of intrigue in his voice. The chains around him clatter softly, the metallic sound reverberating through the air.

As Aoi and Nero assume their positions, their backs pressed against each other, a sense of determination washes over them. Their faces are set in a stoic expression, their gazes fixed on their opponents. Shiro stands ready across from them, her eyes glinting with a mix of amusement and anticipation. Meanwhile, Takeyama stands on the sideline, his chains rattling as he waits for an opportunity to join the fray. Nero whispers to Aoi quickly. "What's the woman's ability? I thought to myself and I think it's telekinesis. What is it? You must quickly tell me." Aoi whispers back, her voice rushed and urgent. "You're right, it's telekinesis," she responds, her tone filled with hushed intensity. "Shiro's ability allows her to manipulate objects and people with her mind, causing them to move or stop mid-motion. Be careful, she's dangerous." Nero responds, "I'll leave the big guy to you, he is using chains so should be easy to deal with for you." Aoi nods, her eyes burning with a newfound determination. "Got it," she replies, her voice steady and resolute. "I'll handle the man with chains. You deal with Shiro." Aoi says.

Shiro smirks as Nero charges forward, her eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and arrogance. She raises her hand, her fingers twitching slightly as she prepares to unleash her telekinesis. "Come at me," she challenges, her voice laced with a hint of amusement. As Nero readies himself for another round of rock-paper-scissors, Shiro braces herself, ready to counteract his attack. Across the room, Aoi leaps toward Takeyama, her body propelled forward by her magnetism ability. The air hums with tension and anticipation, the outcome of the upcoming confrontations uncertain. As Nero utters the familiar phrase "rock-paper-scissors-shoot!", he launches a new attack, his body poised for battle. However, Shiro's reflexes are quick, and she preemptively activates her telekinesis, freezing his actions in mid-motion. Takeyama, taken aback by Aoi's sudden approach, hastily raises his chains, preparing to defend himself against her magnetism. With the precision of her magnetism ability, Aoi seizes control over Takeyama, her powers making him a willing participant in her plan. Effortlessly, she raises him into the air, maneuvering him like a marionette. Taking aim, Aoi then hurls Takeyama towards Shiro, aiming to create chaos by launching him directly at the woman. Takeyama, propelled through the air by Aoi's magnetism, hurtles toward Shiro, his body caught in the pull of her powers. Shiro, her focus momentarily drawn towards Nero, turns her gaze upward just in time to witness the approaching Takeyama. Her eyes widen in surprise as she realizes her dilemma - to defend against the incoming attack or maintain her hold on Nero.

In a split second, Shiro's mind races, her focus divided between two threats. She swiftly reroutes her telepathic connection to Takeyama, redirecting his response to the rock-paper-scissors game initiated by Nero. With a subtle move, she forces Takeyama to extend his hand, forming the gesture for paper. Nero throws rock against the paper of Takeyama. The rock-paper-scissors game reaches its conclusion, with Shiro pulling the strings behind the scenes. Nero, caught off guard by the sudden maneuver, is temporarily frozen in place due to the lost bet. With the words "I'll use you as a metal ball now!" escaping her lips, Shiro manipulates Takeyama's body, flinging him like a metallic projectile towards Nero. Aoi, determined to protect Nero, surges forward, her body propelled by her magnetism ability. She positions herself in front of Nero, a determined expression on her face, her eyes locked onto Shiro. In a seamless display of coordination, she activates her magnetism, attempting to counteract Shiro's influence on Takeyama. The air crackles with tension as the powers of magnetism and telekinesis collide, each force battling for dominance. Aoi's magnetic pull engages in a fierce struggle against Shiro's telekinetic might, creating a visible display of raw power. The outcome seems uncertain, as each ability strains against the other, caught in a fierce standstill.

Magnetism versus Telekinesis, who wins?
