Before Leonardo is Katuro, empowered with his ATTUNED arts, his Striker and Enforcer unified, : 'Kinetic Momentum', A technique which uses the absorbed kinetic energy from the users own movement to increase momentum in an infinite paradox increasing strength in attacks, his Defence, 'Kinetic Absorption', his Auxiliary, Tensed Muscles.

Shingi follows suit, his Combination technique, holding his unified Striker and Enforcer, 'Force' Coating' (Severing edge).

Leonardo gives a feral grin in return, to his mind it resembles a cat taking a predators stance,

(Surely they have a plan) he smiles,

"I'll be generous enough to allow you reinforcements before cracking your skull against the pavement" he declares,

"There'll be no need" Katuro replies,

"Well since you two are ready to die, come to daddy" Leo grins, the the two comply bursting towards him with intent to kill, barely five meters to him, Leonardo's pseudo Domain burst into being, the two upon being enacted upon by it's boundaries fill their very movements strenuous,

"Enough bullshit and come out, i might as well give myself a challenge" he states centering his sharp animalistic gaze to the shilouette beyond the shaded dark, soundless where the person's steps, and from beyond the dark is a female shilouette, identical to the woman he'd seen Jimmy with,

(Wasn't she captured?, Or are these bitches mass produced now?) He ponders,

"We really are in modern times" he roars as his 'Force' congeals around his arms in the rough shape of gauntlets, CONCEPTUALISATION.

Leonardo's right is cocked ready to strike when Katuro and Shingi spin pitching the shilouette who dodges with a bomb,

(It's a dud) the shilouette concludes having blured aside, Leo's hand snapped forward, immediately she empowered her ATTUNED arts, though similar to her fellow compatriot, it was not enough, lighting rained and raged with the fury of the gods, bearly a second passes and her body is charred, burned beyond recognition, nevertheless with Leonardo's restraint and her advancement she'd live,

(I only avoided a kill shot when those two acted that way) he mules turning to questions the two, their reply?,

"It was Ellsy's plan" they grin.

Ellsy, Ryker, Nuwa and Chang arrive at their given destination, much to their suprise they're quickly surrounded and spear heading this are none other than Matteo and Juan, beside them their respective comrades,

"We've been betrayed" Ellsy smiles, not at all alarmed by the visually daunting odds. Despite her apparent ease her mind spins like clockwork first to keep keen observation over Nuwa, she'd had more faith in the two from USSA, she'd been wrong.

"There's no surviving this if we don't work together" Nuwa states very much aware of Ellsy's vigilance, nevertheless, they both need the other,

"Agreed" Ellsy replies.

"A shame really" Matteo muses watching the two visually stunning women,

(like rabbits trapped in a cage) he mules, his arousal permeating his being,

(These one's are dangerous toys, i'll have to break them first!) He grins igniting his unified ATTUNED arts, 'Point's of concentration' : A technique that enables the user congeal imprinted 'Force' in spherical points thereby altering physics to varying degrees within those spheres, and his Auxiliary: 'Corruption point', a technique that allows the user release a miniscule amount of their imprinted 'Force' to convert the external ambient 'Force'around them.

"My sword" Matteo calls, Lara complies handing him a western styled great sword, quite incongruent with his usual elegant nature. Juan Laura and Arturo follow suit in empowering their 'Force' arts, to their provocation Ellsy, Nuwa and Co ignite theirs as the battle erupts, Ellsy clashes against Matteo, her Striker and Enforcer unified: 'Burst'. A technique that allows the user burst into high levels of speed through aid of imprinted 'Force' being released to create a vacuum like area around the user, her Defense: 'Force' Ejection' and her Auxiliary: 'Bone Armour' (Internal), all empowered as one, Attuned.

Stolen novel; please report.

Matteo's swirls at it's tip with a spherical ball of constantly moving 'Force' very quickly the ambient 'Force' around the area swirls in conjecture, rapidly becoming external parts of his Imprinted 'Force', Matteo swings violently, Ellsy moves in close, her fist blurs crashing into Matteo's jaw, she twists his arm locking it behind him while coiling her other arm around his neck then striking his spine with her knee, Laura who's engaged with Nuwa blurs to Ellsy's side he blade flashing to sever her arm, Nuwa's high kick forces a dodge thwarting the plan, nevertheless Matteo detonates a 'Force' sphere forcing Ellsy back, he blurs to her side striking downward as multiple spheres blast wave's of 'Force' inhibiting her form, the girl releases a massive Ejection of 'Force' pushing aside the attacking waves, Matteo presses relentless in his attacks, the nature of his 'Force' arts awarding him with ridiculous destructiveness as even allies are caught in the destruction, Ellsy is caught on the defensive as Matteo gives no room for close combat, his constantly detonating 'Force' spheres and area damage with every swing causing her to release Ejection waves to mitigate the attacks,

(He's lost the essence of martial arts, he knows he's bested in technique, but in a battle of attrition, the bastard knows hell win) she frowns.

MINUTES PRIOR.

As Ellsy engaged Matteo in open combat so did Nuwa meet his entourage, Lara in comparison to her Italian compatriot demonstrated exquisite technique, her unified ATTUNED arts, 'Corruption point' empowered in conjecture with her Auxiliary: 'Casing', a technique that allows the user encase their body with 'Force' to achieve maximum capacity for physical output at all times. Her blade whips with viscous ferocity, each swing tearing and ripping the surrounding area asunder, a simple blur to Nuwa's left leaves her trailed path in ruins, then it clicks,

(She's the actual leader between the two isn't she?) Nuwa grins proceeding to reply in kind, with her ATTUNED arts empowered, unified in Striker and Enforcer: Force Compression, in Defense: 'Momentum shift', a technique that enables the user through the aid of 'Force' and adept mastery over their body absorb the kinetic momentum of an attack while negating their imprinted 'Force', and lastly her Auxiliary, 'Truths Eyes', 'Force' being far from static, constantly flowing like a constantly flowing tidal wave thus technique enables it's user read it's ambient flow.

Nuwa's fist pulsed with restrained power, watching with her Truths Eyes she observes the uncorrupted ambient flow, the the blades path for every strike was curved, with the requirements met, her legs struck to random places in space releasing pulses of 'Force', Lara despite not comprehending het opponents intention was a master of combat, her intuition sharpened, and with haste she gave credence to her Defense, releasing a massive amount of Imprinted 'Force' instantaneously, the objective?, To increase the corruption radius, milliseconds from her intuitive reply,

(She took the bait) Nuwa grins, the world itself seemed to descend on Lara as an implosion of 'Force' in her very position blows all within the surrounding area back leaving her clothes worse for wear and her on a knee coughing up blood,

(She's smart) Lara acknowledges, whatever my intuitive reply was she knew it'd hit, the only reply to such precognitive attacks is to engage in close quaters which she will ardently avoid). At the instant of her mistake it had quickly come to Lara's attention that her opponents attack in space was not only to stimulate the flow of ambient 'Force' to result in a tsunami, but she has also left her imprinted 'Force' in the area, once her corruption had encapsulated it, like bombs under waters, she'd detonated them. Lara is quick to her feet to resume the fight when Matteo's predicament comes to her attention,

(I can't even concentrate with this horny child around) she mules grimly, bluring to his aid.
