Without any hesitation, Hatasuko lunged at Spencer and swung his sword. Just as Hatasuko predicted, Spencer created an energy barrier in the way, so Hatasuko activated his Astrodeus power. While glowing with the power of immeasurable force, his sword slammed against the energy barrier. Although his glowing sword did not crumble from the calamitous strike, Hatasuko failed to break the barrier. The incredible energy surged into Spencer's body and gave him enough stamina to throw himself upright, jump backward, and rip Vaida's swords out of his body. The fading surge of energy protected him from the pain.
As soon as the barrier fell, Hatasuko lunged at Spencer and slashed his sword, but Spencer blocked it with the shaft of his halberd. Their weapons clashed with a spark, but both Astrodei held their weapons here in a motionless stalemate. As they stood in silence, a golden array appeared on the ground beneath Hatasuko's feet and activated; a burst of black fire engulfed his body and fueled him with another round of quintessence.
"All I have to do is activate, and then you die," Hatasuko growled at his enemy.
"I've got a barrier ready to go. Too bad you've wasted so much time," Spencer retorted.
A loud scream suddenly sounded from behind Hatasuko. With a crippling surge of adrenaline, he threw himself backward, ripped his sword off his enemy's halberd, and swerved around to see Vaida crouching behind her shield. She backed up, desperately blocking the rapid slashes of Harvey's sword, but she had no way to fight back. Hatasuko turned around and tried to run toward her, but then Spencer attacked from behind with a quick halberd slash. Hatasuko knew that Vaida would be overwhelmed in a matter of seconds, but he also knew that he would die if he did nothing to stop Spencer.
Therefore, Hatasuko spun his body, swung his sword, and activated his Astrodeus power. His glowing body unleashed an eruption of energy which surged through his right arm. In a matter of milliseconds, his glowing sword struck Spencer's halberd, effortlessly destroyed it, and then shattered his left shoulder. At a speed faster than sound, Hatasuko ripped his weapon diagonally across Spencer's torso in the blink of an eye; the shockwave widened the gash as it tore through his body. The impact threw Spencer backward as blood spewed from this fatal incision.
But as soon as the flash of super strength faded away, Hatasuko swerved around and saw something that would haunt him forever. With a quick roundhouse kick, Harvey knocked Vaida's black shield out of her hands, and then he thrust his sword into her chest. His blue eyes were luminous with fury; her trepid voice screamed into the starlight. Droplets of blood splashed from her wound, Harvey's sword pierced into the dirt beneath her, and her wide eyes stared ahead with terror. Her little left hand dug through the hard dirt beneath her; her fingertips clawed through the street. She closed her eyes, let out a quiet gasp, and lowered her head so that her dark hair concealed her scars. As she crouched on her knees in this catatonic state, Harvey pressed his shoe against her face, grabbed onto the sword, and slowly pulled it out of her. Even as he did this, he looked away with a conflicted expression. When his blade exited her body, Vaida weakly dragged her hand so that she held her bloody wound.
