Striker

Round Three

Dany scrunches up her face and sticks out her tongue at the narrator. "You're no fun."

"Too bad. You have another challenger waiting. Time is a ticking." The narrator claps his hands and a bright light covers the entire area.

"Oof. Who is it this-" Dany is suddenly knocked to the ground by an unknown force. "What-?" She tries to get up but is knocked down once again.

"That's right! Your opponent is the man of ants!" The narrator speaks proudly, before coughing and shifting his cards around. "I mean your opponent is the ant man. Apparently. One so small it's as though he's not there at all." The voice laughs light heartedly before fading off into the distance.

"How are we going to defeat something we can't even see?" Dany looks down to her magical, electric guitar.

"Try playing the chords of B, A, and D." Striker suggests, as another force knocks the girl to the ground.

"Alright." Dany stumbles to her feet and holds out Striker as though she were a professional guitarist. Striking each chord in order, the girl sends a black wave of energy out from the guitar itself. Anything that the wave hit, becomes tainted with a black colour.

A little speck not too far from the two appears and the guitar smirks lightly.

"That must be the man of ants!" Striker calls out, "quick! Play the chords again, before it strikes!"

The girl nods and points Striker's head towards the incoming black speck. Dany instinctively plays the chords backwards from when she played them last.

"D," Dany strums once, "A," She does it once more, "B." The final strike sends a white wave of magical energy out towards the black speck. It becomes engulfed in light and the speck slowly grows till it is the size of a full grown human man, about 6 feet tall.

"Impressive child," the man crosses his arms and smirks slightly, closing his eyes in the process.

"I'm not a child!" Dany raises Striker and smashes his body onto the man's head.

The man tries to shrink, but he is unable to. This confuses the man and he seems to freeze in panic for a moment.

Dany takes this moment as an opportunity and strums a few random chords on her magical guitar, hoping that it is a spell of sort.

"D! AM! A! G! E!" Dany strums in that exact order, sending multiple waves of various coloured magical energy at the man.

The man is overcome by all of the beams and is thrusted high into the sky by them. At the peak point of the attack, all of the beams erupt into various explosions, making a fireworks like sight as they brutally damage the man.

"Now hit the gain and finish him!" Striker calls out, a light shines upon where he wants the girl to attack from.

"Got it!" Turning the gain up to its maximum point, Dany strikes down upon the strings, drumming a simple E chord.

A loud noise erupts from the base of Striker as a massive beam of red, black, and white blasts out from his head and shoots towards the man. Just finished being pumbled by multiple beams of magical energy, the man falls from the sky, falling right into the pathway of the finishing blow from Striker.

The man cries out, but no help is there to save him as he is seemingly incinerated from the attack. The girl drops down to her knees to pant a bit, the attacks took a lot out of her. Somehow, the longer they fought together, the more Dany realized that her and Striker were connected. How? She had yet to know that.

Dany sits down and holds Striker out in front of her, she looks at him a bit before speaking.

"Did you feel that too?" She inquires, but the guitar does not reply. She simply shakes her head and looks up to the sky to let out an exhale. For now she was safe, until the next fight. Three rounds down, how many more was she to complete before she would be finished? She didn't know, she looked down again and smiled.

Together, Striker and her were unstoppable.

Or were they?
