Sun & Purity Vs. Darkness - A new Legend (Marissonshipping) [Wattys 2016]

Chapter 9: Ammy Vs Kiyo

But nothing happened. She opened her eyes slowly and was surprised to see a white shield in front of them. It was too strong for Kiyo's attack so that Manon and Alan were saved.

''No matter what you're doing, keep it up. Let furball handle this.'' Issun said advising

''I'll try.'' Manon replied while wondering how she did it.

Then time froze and Amaterasu drew a loop. When time moved on a strong gusting wind suppressed the fire. This made Kiyo furious and she turned her attention to Ammy. Amaterasu growled dangerously and took her fighting stance. The real fight would start now.

Kiyo made the first move. She flicked down her head and tried to bite her opponent with her poison fangs. But Ammy dodged it with a quick jump to the side. Unfortunately, she was hit by the tail of the serpent, who had quickly swung it to her. That let Amaterasu fly against the wall and she fell to the ground.

''Amaterasu-san!'' Manon called worried.

''Don't worry. Furball here has a pighead. She won't get defeated that easily.'' Issun said calming down Manon.

Ammy pulled herself together, shook her body and took her fighting stance again. She ran towards Kiyo, jumped into the air and attacked her thereby with her Divine Retribution. Then she landed behind Kiyo near the lake. Kiyo immediately turned around and tried to bite Amaterasu, but she was too slow.

The goddess froze the time and drew a line from the lake to her opponent. When time moved on the water of the lake followed that drawn line and extinguished the fire, which surrounded the serpent. Because of that Kiyo turned gray and over her head were yellow stars. This moment used Ammy to attack her with her weapon ten times. Then she froze the time again and drew a straight line across Kiyo's body. Time went on and she was hit by an invisible blade. This caused her to wake up.

She glared at Amaterasu and tried furiously to hit her with her tail again. But she dodged every single time by using simple jumps. This made Kiyo angrier, so she rolled her body around the goddess to clutch her. But before she could finish this, Ammy used a Double Jump and after that a backflip to get out of it.

The second she landed on the ground she froze time. Then she drew a line from the lake to Kiyo. Like last time the water followed that line, extinguished the fire and turned her gray.

Amaterasu took the opportunity to attack her. She used her weapon, which cut a few times through Kiyo. Then she used the Celestial Brush Technique Power Slash to finish it.

Kiyo's dead body fell to the ground and vanished in a wave of flowers.

At the same time, the white shield in front of Manon and Alan disappeared. She breathed heavily. The maintenance of the shield had been exhausting.

''Hey you two, are you okay?'' Issun asked considerately.

''Yeah, we're fine. But Alan hasn't woken up yet.'' Manon answered worried.

''Hm. Maybe your Victory Howl can wake him. So furball, let him hear your loudest one and let him know, that we won.'' Issun ordered determined.

Ammy replied by taking one step forward with her left forepaw and moving her head to the bottom right. Then she used the developed swing to raise her head in the typical howling pose and let out her loudest howl.

Hearing that, Alan slowly opened his eyes. At first, his vision was blurred, but after a few seconds it got clear and he looked in Manon's eyes. The worried expression, which had covered her face seconds ago had been replaced by a relieved one.

''What happened?'' Alan asked while he put his left hand to his head.

''You were knocked out and almost grilled by that king cobra. But Manon had protected you with that white shield, which had appeared magically.'' Issun answered explaining.

What? She  protected me?

''What kind of shield?'' Alan asked Manon.

''I don't know what it was or how I did it, but it was definitely me, who created it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so exhausted, now.'' Manon tried to explain.

''Maybe we should go to Madame Fawn and ask her about that.'' Issun suggested.

''Madame Fawn? Who's that?'' Alan asked skeptically.

''She's a fortune teller. Maybe she has some answers for our questions.'' Issun replied.

Alan nodded still skeptical, stood up, returned Lizardon, who lay unconscious next to him into his Pokéball and together the group walked to the cave entrance. Therefore they just needed to take one step left and then head straight.
