K-ON!: Shattered Dreams

Chapter 4: Ruthless Aggression

A/N: For those who are asking, this is what they're wearing:-

Yui - Modified Listen! Outfit (with cap)

Ritsu - Don't Say Lazy! Outfit

Mio - No Thank You! Outfit

Tsumugi - Modified Listen! Outfit (without sailor hat)

Azusa - Listen! Outfit

The cold air from the rain that had passed by was quickly dissipated. The rooftop Yui was on was nothing more than a heat wave waiting to happen, as she kept dodging fireball after fireball, trying to get close to her opponent. That opponent, being the fire-wielding Tainaka Ritsu, didn't seem to stop with her attacks. She kept trying to rush her with countless fireballs, occasionally dashing in to get up close and personal with Yui.

"You've improved since we were last together, Yui. Too bad you're still gonna lose to me!" She said, clashing with Yui's battle fans. Though quite weak of a weapon, Yui managed to hold her own against the much tougher and stronger Ritsu.

"You have nothing to prove by fighting me, Ricchan... but you're still no match for Mio. And insulting my best friend? Now that's crossing the line!" She pushes her off, breaking the deadlock, giving her enough time to fire off a lightning bolt straight out of her hands, a preview of what's to come from Yui Hirasawa. Ritsu, however, was not amused and just dodged it.

"You know what? I take back what I said about you improving. You still suck." With that, she raises her hand. What Yui doesn't notice is that she's standing in the middle of Ritsu's next attack. "SAY GOODNIGHT, CHUMP!" She pulls her hand downwards. A huge beam of fire immediately hits Yui, which then sets off another set of explosions. The lead guitarist tries to use her barrier to block it off, but the explosions proved a bit too much for her and she ends up falling on her back onto the lower roof. Ritsu followed Yui down, landing on her feet. "What, is that all you got, Yui? Really, I'm that bit disappointed."

Yui, with any strength left after that, managed to only support herself on her arms, glaring at the drummer. "T-tch... that took a lot out of me..."

"I'm surprised you withstood the Dancing Flames, but really... you're pretty much done now." Ritsu said, slowly approaching Yui with her Sais. But before she got TOO close, Azusa flew in, using her naginata's range and aimed a downward slash at the drummer. Ritsu caught wind of this at the last second and could only backstep, getting nicked right at her shoulder. "G-gh!"

"Ritsu-senpai... I don't want to hurt you, but don't force me to!" She spins her naginata around, before thumping the ground once with the handle. "Healing wind!" She shouted. Within seconds, a small gust of wind shrouds Yui, healing most of her wounds. The guitarist immediately got up after that.

"Damn, I almost blew it... thanks, Azu-nyan." She said, getting back into her battle stance.

"So... the both of you wanna team up now, huh? Well then!" She spun her Sais around quickly, getting into her battle stance as well. "This is gonna be fun, ain't it?"

"Ricchan, I hate to say this... but you sound JUST LIKE MIO!" Those words lit a spark inside Ritsu. She didn't want to hear that name again, less if it was used to compare Ritsu to Mio.

"WHAT? DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE ME TO THAT LITTLE BRAT! AND I DON'T EVEN WANNA HEAR IT FROM YOU, YUI!" In a fit of rage, she blasted a straight fire blast toward Yui.

"Yui-senpai, look out!" Azusa jumped in to protect her senpai, but she ended up taking the full brunt of the fireblast. "AAAGH!" She groaned in pain, the blast scorching her, burning parts of her outfit. "N-ngh..." All Yui did was look in shock at what Ritsu had done to Azusa, but that look of shock immediately turned into a sharp glare, as rage began to fill up the young guitarist; a rage uncommon to both members of the HTT.
