The blast blinded Feather to both Hikaru's fate and her ally's.

But with the smoke fading away it became clear...

With no signs of Hikaru's corpse Feather's eyes darted across each meteorite tile.

But her efforts were in vain.

Hikaru appeared behind Feather, pinning the blade of his dagger against her throat.

And as Hikaru sliced through her rock born skin, Kori awoke.

And without moving an inch Kori froze the ground below Hikaru's hard light legs.

But nothing happened.

Hikaru's energy could not be frozen and as such his assassination continued.

"No Feather!".

"My... my legs were caught in that explosion, you shouldn't be so reckless Feather" Kori thought, as she felt herself give in to a state of panic.

But a burning torch appeared suddenly.

Feather had used Hikaru's cut to her advantage, as she slit her own skin to meet Hikaru's blackite dagger.

And upon the meeting of the newly ignited flame and the explosive blackite dagger, a reaction occurred.

The constant heat of the flarite dagger forced the blackite to explode!

But upon that very second Hikaru released his grip on the blackite dagger.

Just as Feather tore even more of her skin in a attempt to escape.

"These legs really are holding me back, I haven't felt this useless since my fight against Shirogane" Hikaru glanced upon his recreated blackite dagger.

"He's slower now at least" Kori rose up onto her feet, her legs coated in ice.

Pinned between both Kori and Feather, Hikaru retook control of his released energy.

Using it to skip any charge time.

And as his legs faded away Hikaru released a grenade of fusion energy.

Blasting him straight into Feather.

With the impact forcing both of them to sore past the location of their previous encounter.

Hikaru forced his hands onto Feather's shoulders thrusting her onto the ruined meteorite ground.

And as Hikaru continued to sore his body landed upon his own dagger.

In which he phased through it, allowing him to grasp a hold of the blade's handle without harm.

Now tightly grasping a hold of his dagger Hikaru recreated his hard light legs.

Kori span multiple shards of ice into the air, forming a birage of spikes.

And with a hundred shards of ice shooting straight towards Hikaru, you would think his attention was on Kori.

But you couldn't be more wrong.

And in a flash Hikaru forced himself through the birage of ice, phasing through each shard.

And just as planned Hikaru appeared upon the unconscious archer.

"Don't forget you made the first move" Hikaru thrusted the blade of his dagger into Feather's stomach.

In which Kori began to rush towards her suffering ally.

But it was too late.

She was too late.

Hikaru began to drag his dagger up Feather's body, cutting her body.

Dissecting her.

Only to stop upon reaching her neck, but the damage was already done.

And as the blood coated Hikaru's dagger Kori's aura exploded.

In which she released a hundred spikes of ice straight towards the assassin.

But just as Hikaru phased through each of them earlier he did the same now.

Allowing for each shard to penetrate Feather's wounded body.

But suddenly the ice shattered.

With black chaos energy leaking out of Feather's body.

And upon the sight of this energy Hikaru darted away.

In which a explosion of demonic energy followed.

Appearing at Feather's side, Kori lifted a frozen wall into existence.

"You okay Feather?" Kori asked as she span a disc of ice in the air.

"Of course I'm not okay, I've been saved again..., ughh" Feather cried out.

"Doesn't she know what happened?, that was black chaos energy..., oh I can't worry about it now" Kori shattered both the wall of ice and the discs of ice.

"Major release: rampant ice birage" Kori swung her arms forwards, which was followed by a swarm of frozen bullets.

Hikaru awaited for the birage, not moving an inch.

But instead releasing a wave of energy into the air.

And soon after thunder followed...

Hikaru had created the ultimate move: striking thunder although still imperfect.

And with its creation, Hikaru clapped his hand against the blade creating a deafening shockwave.

Causing the birage of ice to shatter before it ever came close to its target.

"Two targets" Hikaru thought to himself as he lowered his stance.

"Kori!, He'll kill us" Feather drew a hydrogen arrow.

"Zeons really are monsters aren't they" Kori thought.

Hail storm a technique that causes all ice within the area to ascend high into the sky, only to drop down moments later.

And as Hikaru dashed forwards he was impaled by a hailstorm.

"Feather shoot!" Kori demanded as she stared upon the defeated Zeon.

And as Feather reluctantly released the string of her bow, Hikaru phased through the spikes of ice impaling his body.

Bearing lighting in his hand Hikaru dashed forward, phasing through the hydrogen as well as Kori.

Hikaru slammed his dagger against Feather's face causing the sound of thunder to echo throughout her body.

Knocking her out cold.

And just as Feather's body collapsed to the meteorite ground, her arrow exploded.

Hitting both Hikaru and Kori in the blast.
