Chapter 5: A crushing defeat

Thanks to Rina's resolve and focused efforts. The team was able to pinpoint Sora's location. Daichi and Kenji went straight to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

As they barged in they found Sora sitting calmly. Without a moment to waste Kenji activted his chrono anchor freezing Sora in place. Daichi set up various traps surronding Sora. One wrong move and Sora would be obliterated.

As the effects of chrono anchor wore off Sora was found in a dire situation. Daichi:" your days of messing around with innocent souls are over. Now answer me why do all this! Sora laughed hysterically at Daichi taunting him.

Daichi decided to use torture as he shot Sora in the leg. All they could get was mad laughs. When Kenji saw that he decided to kill her. Daichi refused he wanted to imprision her to make her repent for her sins. After an hour or so of torture. Haruto and Yuto came with the police.

Sora completly surrounded had no options. She was weakned by the toruring And couldn't use her abilty. As they took her into custody a laugh came from behind. It was Sora's voice. Daichi: "how is that possible! " It was revealed that the person who was thought to be Sora was none other than Kenji.

Sora had created an illusion which devestaed Daichi. And thanks to the help of a man named Misuru Who was able to act as Kenji thanks to his ability, Sora's illusion was pitch perfect.

Sora:" allow me to introduce you this here is Misuru of the phantom knights." His ability is never split the difference and you probably should have guessed by now that it allows him to disguise himself." With this new revelation Daichi's psychological state was deteriorating quickly.

He just tortured his ally putting him on the brink of death. Not only that but he also started to doubt his reality his very own existence. But from decisive judgment from Haruto who assed the situation calmly. Daichi was able to focus on the present moment activating the traps he had set.

Only to find that Sora's introduction of Misuru wasn't complete. Misuru's abilty didn't only allow him to disguise himslef but he could aslo copy other people's abilities. As Misuru used chronic anchor to stop Daichi's attack.

The battle was heavily shifted in Sora's favor. Daichi enraged decided to attack Misuru in close combat. He clenched his right fist and with one fell swoop striked Misuru down. Only to find out that his knee was cut in the process.

Misuru clearly didn't strike back and he didn't have a knife so how was that possible? Was it one of Sora's illusions? Or was it an ability Misuru had copied? All those thoughts raced through Daichi's head. Under orders from Haruto the police started shooting.

Misuru rendered all their attacks useless thanks to chrono anchor. As the battle between Misuru and Daichi continued the police kept shooting, but Sora interfered by casting illusions making them miss. Meanwhile Yuto called Rina for help.

He. Asked her to use a high pitch sound wave to break Sora's concentration Puting an end to the illusions in the process. Unfortunately she wasn't able to. Yuto:" i'm done with doing nothing. I won't let you hurt my friends anymore!

All of a sudden Yuto's speed increased drastically he was so quick that Sora had no time to react. He landed a punch that sent her flying. It was at this moment in battle that Yuto Nakamura evolved. He gained quite an ability that shifted the favor of battle.

New Ability: "Emotive Momentum"** - **Description:** Yuto's "Emotive Momentum" allows him to channel the emotions he resonates with into kinetic energy. This energy can accelerate his movements to extraordinary speeds, enabling him to execute rapid, synchronized strikes that resonate with the emotional state of his targets. The more intense the collective emotions around him, the faster and more powerful his movements become. This ability not only enhances his physical capabilities but also allows him to connect with allies on the battlefield, synchronizing their movements and creating a unified front that can overwhelm opponents with both emotional and physical force.

Manifestation of "Emotive Momentum":** - **Emotional Catalyst:** The key to activating "Emotive Momentum" is an emotional catalyst, often a moment of intense empathy or connection with a character or narrative. When Yuto experiences a surge of emotion, it triggers the conversion of this energy into speed and force.

Sora bleeding from the unexpected blow panicked. It wasn't in her plan for Yuto to evolve. This caused major trouble for her as she was already exhausted by casting all those illusions. Yuto didn't stop with that one attack but he kept bambarding Sora with attacks from all angles it was an onslaught.

The physical damage done to Sora was more than enough, but he didn't stop there he attaked Sora on the emotional level as well. Meanwhile Daichi was able to bind Misuru by using his gadgets. Victory was in their hands now and Haruto knew that if it slipped now then it will all be over.

Without a moment to waste Haruto aimed his gun at Sora. Yuto tried to stop him he still had hope that Sora could see the errors in her ways. Haruto ignored Yuto and pulled the trigger killing Sora.

Yuto:" what have you done! You shouldn't have killed her I could have changed her! You don't hesitate to take human souls. Just like that other time when we got attacked by the man wearing dark cloth. Are you really human?

Haruto:" you done yet? She isn't dead. In fact we will all be dead soon. Everyone wore a confused look on their faces. Yet they trusted Haruto after all he has the ability to see the future. " incredible as always Haruto." Sora laughed. Everyone was shocked they were sure that Sora died. Yet she was standing again in front of them. Daichi broke down as he thought it was an illusion he couldn't handle it and blacked out. Having his belifs, perceptions and reality itself betray him. It was only natural that he wouldn't handle it.
