Hikaru and his sister were head locked with eachother, clashing their swords and splashing blood everywhere. The fierce sparks came from their swords and we're not about to end.
"We can end this peacefully, Anne!", Hikaru yells as he jumps from the ground and over his sister.
Hikaru then points his free hand at her, his other hand grasping his sword and chants
"Frost Senzai Art: Dance of Ice Shards"
A sudden flurry of Senzai packed ice shards rained hell down upon his sister.
She furrowed her brows and used her sword to start deflecting the hundreds of sharp ice shards coming down upon her from the sky.
One by one, clank by clank, the shards fell off course by her katana. She had immense visual perception and capabilities. Afterall, she trained Hikaru with the sword since he was learning how to walk.
"Until now... I've sustained more damage then Hikaru has... If this goes on it will become ngh, fatal", she thinks to herself as she keeps deflecting the ice shards.
All of the sudden the rain of shards were no where in sight. Hikaru was no where in sight. There was so many shards around her fallen on the ground.
She desperately started looking in all directions.
Once her back was facing away, Hikaru found the perfect opportunity.
Hikaru slid towards his sister, one hand on the floor to control his movement on the icy floor and the other, his sword. Hikaru lunged his arm forward to attack his sister.
She had luckily seen the attack coming from the corner of her eye and she panickedly turned around stopping and clashing her swords with Hikaru.
"Lucky! That was a good distraction!", Hikaru yells to himself complainingly in his mind.
Hikaru's sister then said angrily, her sword still stopping Hikaru's.
"Why... Why are you still fighting!?", she hisses, tired of Hikaru being equal to her.
She then charged up a punch enflowed with Senzai declaring,
"Take this, hiyah!".
She threw a quick hook at Hikaru. Hikaru couldn't block it with his sword timely so he pushed himself off the ground back to minimise the force of impact and placed his arm up Infront of his to block the punch.
The punch made contact and it sent Hikaru flying through the Shimo Base Compound crashing into a building, collapsing it.
She scoffed satisfiedly, her body still in the position of that jab.
She pulled her arm and legs back and stood still with a smirk on her face. She wipes the sweat off her forehead with her hand. Satisfied with her skill.
At the other side of the Dreamscape, Akimoro had finished bombarding the hell out of Harushi. There was blood, very much blood splattered on the ground.
Horror dreded on the battlefield, the members of the clan looking mortifyingly.
The dust settled and there stood the mutilated body of Harushi Hayashi. His eyes out of his sockets, his arms twisted, his right leg having a bone sticking out and his chest cavity opened, ribs being shown.
Akimoro scoffed as he kept a mischievous grin over his face remarking,
"That's all you were good for huh, son...".
Akimoro spits on the ground as he turns his back away, his gaze setting on Sakura. She was terrified. He had just mutilated her son and now he was about to execute her.
Akimoro raised his arm, a vine being created from it to act as the executioner's blade and with one swoosh the vine... Broke?
A long vine coming from over behind Akimoro's shoulder extended, cutting his vine.
"How...", Akimoro says under his breath as he looks behind in utter shock.
Harushi's mutilated body kept its arm extended and brought it back. Harushi's grin returning over his face as his body starts to regenerate: first his eyes, full of boastfulness, his organs, his skin, his bones and then everything cleaned up except his torn hoodie.
"Primal Bloom: Mitosis"
Harushi says looking ever cockily at his father,
"You thought only you were the capable person to learn how to mitose?".
Primal Bloom is Hayashi Clan's inherited prized possession. It's a Senzai Art that focuses on nature and organic materials. It works on a cellular level. Hence, why anything organic can be manipulated including regeneration. Moreover, Primal Bloom is a very strong Art as it passively uses a type of photosynthesis in the user to create Senzai Energy of its own. Truly a formidable art.
Akimoro expressed a small smile, probably of being proud that atleast his "useless" son was able to inherit his father's strength.
Harushi squatted down and placed his hands on the ground.
"Primal Bloom: Terraformation"
Thicky woody tree branches erupted from ground as they rapidly made their way towards Akimoro. Akimoro stood still and was smiling at his son's power. The branches collected together as a bridge and started lifting Akimoro up in the sky, almost around a 4 story building, creating a platform for their battle.
Harushi's leaped up in the air using his vines and landed on the platform.
"I always wanted to know how it'd be for me to be the Clan Head after I'm done with you", Harushi says, his face getting serious.
Akimoro laughed as he announced,
"Foolish Child! That position is something you'll never grab not until from my cold dead hands!".
Akimoro sent hundreds of poisonous prickly vines hurling at Harushi and Harushi grinned as the vines came at him.
Meanwhile at the other other end of the Dreamscape, Ren was busy dancing around in the trees letting out sneak attacks on the Bear Eclipse.
Ren leaped from one branch to another and when the Bear Eclipse's back was turned away, Ren lunged himself forward and slashed the Bear Eclipse with his Senzai made katanas, leaving a "X" behind its back.
The Eclipse roared in agony, it's screams causing Ren to block his ears, a terrible ringing sensation. His eardrums hurt. The forest shook from the dangerous roar.
The Bear Eclipse, being half the height of the coniferous trees, uplifted one tree up using it's superior strength and started whacking the forests in random directions using the tree in his hand.
Ren was in his way and he suddenly dodged at the last minute. He was lucky. Trees were flying everywhere.
"He's durable and strong... I don't know if my Senzai Art would be enough...", Ren said as he hurried towards the open meadow. The sky dark.
Ren dispersed his katanas into thin air and created a senzai powered assault rifle, an AK-47.
Ren held the glowing AK and pulled back the safety clip and aimed at the direction of the Bear.
"EAT LEAD YOU MONSTER!", Ren yelled maniacally as he started firing hell upon the Bear Eclipse.
The Senzai Powered bullets were potent and more explosive as they hurt the Bear Eclipse alot. The eclipse was groaning in pain.
The ground started shaking and the Bear Eclipse started running towards Ren, it's arms covering it's face.
"Ngh Graaah!", the eclipse yelled animalistically as it tried clawing Ren, who dodged it without issues.
Ren dispersed his AK-47 and created two grenades. He pulled the pins of the gernades using his teeth and threw them on the Eclipse as he ran away to a safe place.
The gernades explode massively upon the eclipse, the explosion reaching the ceiling of the forest.
The Eclipse rumbled in pain, it's left eye was damaged and it's body had blood soaking in it's fur.
"Eureka! I've chipped him down!", Ren smiled as he prepared for another violation of animal rights.
