"YOU BITCH!", Lucy screams at the top of her lungs shaking the building debris around her. She started running at beyond supersonic speeds, faster than any speed Hikaru and his team faced before. Her speed rose in Machs reaching that of a jet at Mach 2.5. Bursts of sonic booms exploded behind her as she finally reached Yoru..
"YOU'RE DEAD!", Lucy hisses as she throws a punch towards Yoru who's still looking at Hikaru. However, everything turned into slow motion as she saw Yoru slowly turning her head towards her a small smile that just spoke confidence.
Within a moment's notice, Yoru grabs ahold of Lucy's fist and hits a heavy uppercut towards Lucy, causing the eclipse's body to rip off the hand that Yoru held.
Lucy winced in pain, crashing back against the wall as she looked up. Her hand immediately started to regenerate. "It's going to take much more than that, girl," Lucy smirked wiping the blood off her lips. Lucy then continued, her hand on the curve of her hip, "I'm going to enjoy giving master your head, Director".
Yoru shakes her head sighing disappointedly as she replies softly, "I'm not the one who's fighting you... He is". Yoru points towards Hasuke who was currently cracking his shoulder joints.
Lucy furrows her eyebrows, biting her lip as she senses Hasuke's Senzai. "He has not an ounce of Senzai... Is this some joke?", Lucy asks as she glares back at Yoru. "I want YOU", she continues pointing at Yoru.
Yoru sighs shrugging playfully as she responds, "As a Director within the PPA, I'm not one to fight someone of your stature. I'm an elephant and you're an ant. If I wanted to, I could crush you in an instant. Though, regardless of strength, Eclipses have high stamina and endurance which can wear me down. Hence, according to Section 8 of the Covenant, any rank starting from Executive are to not engage in A Class Threats as to keep themselves fully ready for any unexpected A+ or worse threat".
She then walks towards Hasuke looping an arm around his neck holding him close as she continues, "But this fine gentleman, a close friend of mine, he's a retired Executive Class Agent. I do hope he is satisfactory for your level. Though I warn you, eclipse, he's not one to be underestimated. He's the one who humiliated the DarknessEclipse almost two decades ago...".
Yoru then places her hand on Hasuke's wrist as white cloudy-ish particles surround her.
"Soul Embodiment"
Yoru says as almost instantaneously, a powerful surge of pruplish Senzai aura erupts within Hasuke's core as it flows all around him. Lucy's eyes widened as using her Eclipse Eye, she could see the most tiniest details of Senzai within Hasuke.
"99.7% Efficiency... No way... How...? He must have terrible reserves or output... The woman herself has 75%... But this... This is too much," Lucy thinks to herself as she puts her arms infront of her shielding herself from the overwhelming Senzai erupting from Hasuke.
Hikaru gets pinned down on the ground struggling to even look up. The weight of this massive output of Senzai causing nearby walls to crack and shatter. Yoru kept grinning as she unlocks Hasuke's hidden power.
"The thing is, Hasuke's power had to be locked away through my Art for 'technical' reasons, but I think even in this way out of prime strength, he must be enough to eliminate your pathetic face of this planet," Yoru says as she steps away from Hasuke looking straight at Lucy.
Hasuke smiles at Yoru and feels the power coursing through his veins. "God... I missed this... Thanks, Yoru... I'll make sure to end this weasel off," Hasuke says as he looks back at Lucy.
[HASUKE REIJI ART - CLICK THIS PARAGRAPH TO OPEN COMMENTS AND VIEW]
Lucy glares at Hasuke and clenches her fist dashing towards Hasuke at her top speed. However, right behind her, Hasuke had already appeared as he grabbed her head slamming her down to the ground with a sickening sound. The ground erupting in cracks.
Yoru smirked at the display and Hikaru just looked at the power in awe.
Hasuke looks at his hand and it seems to be sparking with Senzai. He comments, "Huh. That felt so weird... It's been so long... My body is moving faster than my mind can intercept... God I missed this strength...".
"Focus on me, fool!", Lucy shrieks as she creates her glowy rope again and wraps it around Hasuke. She then roars as she begins spinning round and round increasing her speed. "Get lost!", she yells as she stops and throws Hasuke, crashing him through the roof as he flies way over to another side of Kawagoe.
Hasuke crashes with a thud on a road and simply stands up, dusting off some dust from his clothes. "I'm actually not as strong as I was back then... I mean I'm stronger than this Eclipse, but I would have handled her easily way in the past".
Lucy seemingly teleports Infront of Hasuke her fist clenched in powerful Senzai reinforcement as she screeches maniacally, "Watch out, old man!". Her fist connects with Hasuke's jaw, punching him hard on his cheek making his face turn back.
Lucy smiles at her attack as she speaks up her fist still lingering at his cheek, "I could always use Chained Dreams Technique of my Art against you, but your resolve and power isn't weakened enough yet... What even is in your subconscious anyways...". Lucy then opens up her fist holding his cheek with her hand as she closes her eyes and tries to enter his subconscious in order to use a Daydream technique.
Suddenly, Lucy's subconscious enters Hasuke's and she seems to have entered an old city of sort. She looks around and sees a local newspaper with the date: '6th August 1945'. Her eyes widened and suddenly she heard a chilling whir of a plane flying very high up in the sky. She was in Hiroshima?
Before anything else could happen, she snaps out of her snooping in Hasuke's memories and sees Hasuke holding her both hands, a small nosebleed dripping from his nose.
"You said me to focus right? Well I am," Hasuke says as he crashes his forehead against her causing her to wince in pain. Hasuke keeps crashing his forehead again and again and again as blood drips from his forehead.
"You fool! I can always regenerate this damage of mine!", Lucy snarls as she pushes her nails in Hasuke's hands holding her wrists and she knee kicks Hasuke's chin making him fall back.
She then lunges towards him and creates another fist of Senzai ready to knock him out. As her fist reaches his body it suddenly gets stop, no, repulsed. What was this? Why was her fist unable to punch through this barrier.
Hasuke's eyes widen and he smiles. "It actually worked! My art is still working! Yes!", Hasuke yells excitedly clenching his fist in a victory of sorts.
"W-what's this sorcery!?", Lucy snarls as her fists continues to fight the repulsive force. Hasuke shakes his head and replies, "This is Electrostatic Repulsion: a technique of my Art. When I was banging your head repeatedly and maintaining physical contact, I was trying to discharge subatomic particles, in this case electrons in you. Meanwhile, I configured all my protons towards the place where you were going to hit, hence, a repulsion of opposite charges".
"P-proton... Electron? What is all this?!", Lucy questions aggressively as she starts punching at his barrier repeatedly in a wild animaltisc fashion. "JUST LET ME HIT!", Lucy screams as she speeds up her punches.
Hasuke opens up his arms as he breathes in and out in a relaxed state. His eyes closed as he enjoys Lucy's futile attempts to penetrate his barrier.
Suddenly Lucy's arm gets attracted towards Hasuke's hand as he speaks up, "I can also attract too by making my subatomic particles in my body accordingly to yours perfectly".
Hasuke then punches Lucy's face at super fast speed, as a large airburst echoes through the street shattering all the windows down the block. Lucy falters back as Hasuke immediately slides down punching the back of her spine, shooting her straight up in the sky.
He then proceeds to seemingly fly very quickly faster than her body could reach up as he uses both his fists to slams her down in the ground again, another airburst following through. Before she could even reach the ground, he flew down and grabbed her neck and flew at a consistent speed down the streets as he drags her face across the walls of the buildings, leaving a trail of hollow mess behind.
"How's the taste?", Hasuke taunts as he drags her faster and throws her body way up ahead. As her body helicopters in the air she immediately snaps back in and regenerates her injuries. She then points a palm directly at Hasuke and yells, "Dodge this!".
"Dreamweaving:
Oneiric Sleep!"
A glowing purple ring shoots towards Hasuke at fast speeds. His eyes widen and he barely dodges it as a massive blast erupts behind him, the size of a building.
Before he knew, she started spamming her ability as it rained rings upon Hasuke. He groaned as he began dodging the fast lethal ring, trying to fly towards her. His Electrostatic Repulsion can only repulse physical blows. Senzai created attacks just bypass through it because Hasuke can't just adjust the subatomic charges within those attacks.
As he reached Lucy and grabbed her throat, she laughed in a choked cry, "I got you now". Suddenly, before Hasuke could react a purple ring engulfed Hasuke from behind as it caused him to become drowsy.
As he turned back, he saw Lucy standing with a victorious grin. "I used Oneiric Daydream on you to trick you into a false body of mine. The real one was hidden which was me all along!", Lucy announces as she sees Hasuke's eyes get droopy, his body faltering mid air as it slowly descends to the ground.
She walks towards Hasuke and continues speaking, "These Oneiric Sleep rings actually cause you to get drowsy and causes your chemical, nervous and even Senzai reactions within your body to slow down. A few more, you'd be dozing off to a sweet slumber".
Lucy eyes glint with malice as she punches Hasuke hard on the chest making him fall back with a broken rib stinging his lung. He gasps for air, his body getting tired and heavy from sleep.
"This little mischievous eclipse... She's not a physical powerhouse but she makes up for it with her overpowered abilities!", Hasuke murmurs. Suddenly his eyes widen and he sees Lucy charging up another Oneiric Sleep technique discharge.
Suddenly, an idea lights up in his mind as Hasuke remembers an old technique he used to use back then. "Wait... I could force my nervous system to work regardless of exhaustion she gave me from her attack...", Hasuke thinks to himself as he looks back at Lucy.
Hasuke's Senzai Art is: Electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is one of the universe's four fundamental physical forces that work to keep it stable and working. Electromagnetism can manipulate all forms of electromagnetic waves, electrostatic forces and magnetic fields. Since the nerve impulse are electric discharges that travel through nerve fibers, Hasuke could force his nervous system to passively speed up when he sleeps, making sure atleast his spinal cord can perform reflective actions alongside the peripheral nervous system without the need of his brain.
This Art is truly one of the most phenomenal arts and requires extensive versatility and creativity alongside knowledge within physical science. Hence, Hasuke Reiji has untapped potential to use his Art in any way he desires.
"Electromagnetism Senzai Art:
Neural Mobility"
As Hasuke uses his technique, Lucy's Oneiric Sleep Ring passes through him causing his mind to shut off and his body to sleep. His body stands still, his head dropped in front.
Lucy dashes at Hasuke her leg extended to kick him. As her leg extends and reaches near his body, his body instinctively moves back dodging the attack.
His physical and spiritual body may be asleep, but his peripheral nervous system is working overtime, overflowing with Senzai as if he was a non living or a living creature, a virus. His eyes were still shut, but he was still somehow eerily alive and even faster because of the increase in nervous impulse speeds.
"Dude... You really are some trick artist," Lucy groans in boredom as she continues punching, kicking and attack at Hasuke. But his body kept dodging or moving back. It did not attack back as his Central Nervous System wasn't able to respond due to the nature of Lucy's Technique.
Yoru watches from atop a building, her fingers on her chin as she asses the situation. "Huh, I thought he wouldn't be able to muster up that much strength and access his Art up again that quickly. No wonder, he is beyond A+... An S Class Threat as the PPA put it," Yoru says to herself as she folds her arms.
Hikaru is standing next to her and asks intriguingly, "An S... S Class Threat?".
Yoru smiles as she looks at him. "Yeah, your Professor was termed as beyond A+ Threat. The Threat Scale isn't even for Eclipses, it's for Senzai Users too. And, an event in the past termed him as a threat unfortunately. He is truly the Strongestinthisworld".
