Kiri:"It never really settled with me that you've been an annoying little fuck"
Gabriel:"You are no one!"
Kiri:"Heh"
The Male individual rolls to the ground before doing a backflip and shooting Gabriel directly at the shoulders
Gabriel:"Uragh!"
Kiri:"Hmm?"
Kiri then dodged to his left as Gabriel leaped towards him before blocking a hit from his staff creating a small shockwave that sent debry everywhere
Kiri:"For an old piece of metal you sure are strong"
Gabriel:"Tch"
Kiri:"...But not strong enough"
Kiri says flashing his purple hue'd eyes before kneeing Gabriel in the shin sending him up and then Kiri flips upwards behind him before grabbing Gabriel's head mid air and slamming the Ascendant to the ground
Gabriel:"Damn you!"
Gabriel shouted releasing waves of Punishing Virus everywhere
Kiri shielded forward his arms and got pushed back a bit due to the waves Gabriel directly released
Gabriel:"Now die!"
Kiri opened fire his gun while dodging Gabriel's every attack before shooting his metallic body
Kiri:"This power you possess...is unlike anything I encountered"
Gabriel:"Feeble minded fools like you! Aren't fit to know the grand plan of the Punishing Virus!"
Kiri:"So that's what it's called...The Punishing Virus"
Gabriel and Kiri then blocked each other's attack and parried their weapons together
Kiri:"I find this virus pretty weak at the moment"
Gabriel:"Fool...You don't know it's full extent!"
Kiri:"True...But that won't mean I'm gonna drop my goal of understanding it myself!"
Gabriel:"You'll die trying!"
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Crash*
*Boom*
Kiri dodged a strike to the left and blocked another strike to the chest before shooting Gabriel point blank in the skull and then backflipping kick Gabriel in the metal jaw
Gabriel:"Hurgh!"
Kiri:"Heh"
Kiri then puts his left hand up along with the Flintlock pistol making a giant clock appear behind him...he then pointed it towards a Roman number and absorbed dark mist
Kiri:"Parry this"
Kiri said before shooting Gabriel who stood up in the leg
Gabriel:"...You missed"
Kiri:"No...that's a bullseye"
Gabriel tried to move only for his body to not respond and he looked hopelessly as Kiri pointed his Pistols on the rubble hanging above them and shooting
Gabriel:"Ga-"
*Slam*
*Break*
*Clang*
Gabriel falls to the bottom part of the Ascendant Floors close to the Red tide below
Gabriel:"Hurgh..."
Gabriel then flew upwards in a rage and sent several waves of spears towards Kiri before diving towards him with Kiri parrying each attack with his shots
Kiri:"Your starting to piss me off Old man"
Gabriel:"Old Man!?"
Kiri dodged a strike from Gabriel's large metal spear before sliding behind him and grabbing Gabriel's leg and then slamming him to the ground casing a small shockwave
Gabriel the shot upwards before unleashing a wave of air that Kiri had to block to not get pushed back...Gabriel then slowly flew
Kiri's senses twitched and immediately dodged left...Gabriel suddenly appeared and strikes his metal spear down to the location Kiri was last in
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Clang*
Gabriel blocked the second shot with his metal spear before immediately appearing Infront of Kiri and striking him in the legs before slamming him down to the ground
Kiri however kicked Gabriel in the head before standing up and jumping backwards...He then looked at his Flintlock Pistols and at Gabriel
Kiri:"Guess I can't stay in range for long"
Gabriel then dove towards him before trying to hit him with a spinning attack and then launching several small red like missiles...Kiri dodged them all but shot the red like missiles in the air

Lucia clashed blades with the new enemy simply called the Queen...Raiden rolled to the side alongside Luna's unconscious body
Liv provided support while Lucia and Lee took turns to battle the Queen whom was relentless in it's attacks
Liv:"Watch out!"
Lucia did a backflip backwards avoiding a slash towards her while Lee shot two bullets into the Queen but it managed to dodge by gracefully flying in mid air
Lucia:"Lee!"
Lee:"Got it"
Lucia and Lee then charged at the Queen...Lucia parried the attack with her sword before launching herself mid air and kicking the Queen in the head before landing on the ground in a crouched position

Back with Kiri and Gabriel
Kiri:"Where's Roland?"
Gabriel:"Probably Dead now"
Kiri didn't respond back before shooting Gabriel in his metal head...Gabriel then flew upwards before doing a fury of slashes when he dove down
Kiri did several backflips and frontflips aswell sliding from side to side, front and back it seemed like a performance
Gabriel:"You sly little human"
Kiri:"I'll take that as a compliment"
Gabriel then used his metal spear and slashed at the air causing a vacuum of air to push everything towards it...Kiri raised an eyebrow before widening his eyes...He then got sent back with such force and crashed into a wall
Gabriel then attempted to attack him when he fell to the ground but Kiri however rolled towards him before twisting his body like those men from the movies and kick jumped Gabriel in his metal jaw causing him to scramble back
Kiri:"...That's it"
Kiri then made his flintlock pistols disappear into crimson like clouds...it then turned purple and he then pulled a large purple broadsword on said clouds
The Male then pointed it towards Gabriel as it emitted purple flashes of light...Gabriel was stunned for abit before quickly regaining his composure
Gabriel:"What...Sorcery is this"
Kiri didn't respond before charging and striking Gabriel who blocked it but Gabriel felt the force to be incredible making him slide back
Gabriel:"What!?"
Gabriel didn't manage to add a few words before getting slashed at his metal wings cutting them clean off...Kiri then swung the Sword towards Gabriel with heavy blows fully focusing on the offensive
Gabriel:"How the!"
Kiri didn't respond at Gabriel before delivering three powerful blows that shook the area...Kiri then jumped upwards as the Sword coated itself in purple
Gabriel prepared by coating his metal spear in punishing virus powers and waited for the time to defend himself
Kiri:"...Parry this you filthy casual"
Kiri dove straight at Gabriel who went full defensive as Kiri swung the Sword downwards and once it made contact
*Boom*
*Crackle*
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Shake*
*Crackle*
*Boom*
A large gust of wind erupted due to the attack and sent several parts of the platform the two battled to come off and fall down to the Abyss below it

With the Gray Ravens
*Shake*
Liv:"Woah!"
The Queen, Lucia, Lee, Raiden and Liv felt the shake of the entire place and wondered how that came to be
Lucia:"gah!"
Lucia was sent flying back Liv jumped and caught her immediately...Raiden then used Project Bunny to attack by
Raiden:"Ai system! Project 16-C! Activate!"
Kiri shouted before using his hand and did a throw motion and The Mech latched itself and punched the Queen straight in the face...followed by it snapping one of it's fingers causing a several laser projections to appear and shoot at it
Lee:"Thanks Commandant!"
Lee said before immediately jumping and using the Queen as a ledge doing a flip while shooting at it...Lee then fired a small blue electric field before jumping up and firing his guns in a spinning manner
Lucia got up and immediately went to battle...The Queen stood up and flew to the air before diving straight at Lucia with it's scythe
Lucia:"Hah!"
Lucia parried the Scythe before sliding backwards and spinning her sword to the air creating an ice tornado before using her little companion and pointed it towards the Queen causing a flurry of sharp ice particles to impale it damaging it's armor and damaging it's one wing
The Queen however immediately stood up and sliced at Lucia however Lucia used her sword to block the attacks
*Bang*
*Bang*
Lee then shot the Queen at it's legs before Liv used her Levi Guns to fire a concentrated beam at it damaging parts of it's waist section and arms
Bunny then punched the Queen upwards before appearing above it and clenching both hands together slammed the Queen back to the ground
...
Raiden:"This isn't good...They won't last long..."
Raiden then looked at the Unconscious Luna in his arms and held her hand
Raiden:"C'mon Raiden think...How should you wake Luna up?"
He thought before then getting clicked an idea...He then shouted for the team to give him time as he needed to do something to wake Luna up
Raiden carried Luna out of the vicinity before laying her down and then taking a deep breath while still holding the Unconscious Luna's hand
Raiden:"Alright Raiden...you must be quick and get Luna out of her state...You can do this"
The Male said taking a deep breath and preparing himself to connect with Luna's M.I.N.D
Raiden:"Here goes nothing..."

Back at The other arena

*Clang*
Kiri was heavily striking Gabriel from left to right... Gabriel flew up before diving straight at Kiri who just jumped and threw the Great sword at him striking him in the chest
Kiri suddenly appeared Infront of Gabriel before doing a flip and leg locking Gabriel's metallic head before using his force to slam Gabriel with another flip to the ground
Gabriel teleported upward as Kiri got his great sword back...the two then pointed their weapons at each other
Gabriel:"Hurah!!"
Gabriel dove straight at Kiri coating himself in a red aura...Kiri however coated his great sword with purple aura and blocked Gabriel's strike
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
Kiri:"That it?"
Gabriel:"Huh!?"
Kiri pushed Gabriel back and then jumped mid air performing three consecutived energy slashes at Gabriel...Kiri then slammed the Sword at Gabriel's shoulder putting him down before swinging it back up sending Gabriel to the air
Kiri:"...Take this"
Kiri emitted a purple aura before spinning his sword creating a large reach and pulling everything towards him with a purple tornado as he continued to spin
Gabriel:"Impossible! This power can't exist! Unless your an ascendant yourself!"
Kiri didn't listen as he kept attacking with the spinning attack damaging Gabriel to every part of his metal body
The attack stopped as Kiri flew backwards and got into a stance prepared to face anything Gabriel sends at him

Meanwhile in the M.I.N.D Space
Luna:"Why go so far for Humanity? Why fight a losing battle?"
Raiden:"Because it's worth fighting for...Humanity is both evil and good...they will kill and destroy to be the uncontested apex of the planet...but they are also the one bringing life into this Planet...We are corrupt but also kind...We are Bad but also Good"
Luna and Raiden continued to talk to each other
Luna:"You've seen my memories...what do you think of then"
Raiden just offered his hand to Luna
Raiden:"We cannot go back in time to change things...we cannot rewrite something that is written...But we can move forward and hope for a better future"
Luna:"Gray Raven Commandant"
Raiden:"...Luna...Humanity is like a rat that's trapped...and as a evolutionary being always does...when they are cornered they have no choice but to be desperate"
Luna:"...What is your name"
Raiden:"Yamashita...Raiden"
Luna:"Yamashita..."
Luna then reached her hands towards Raiden's own...she then held it for a long moment trying to collect herself
Luna:"I will remember your name..."
Raiden:"...and I will too...Luna"
Luna and Raiden closed their eyes as a bright white light began enveloping them

Gabriel and Kiri are still locked in combat
Kiri:"I think we should end it here"
Gabriel:"Hu-?"
Kiri cut him off when He raised his great sword in the air and gathering purple like energy...the whole place then began shaking

Back with the Gray Ravens
Lee dodged another Attack before being set backwards but thankfully managed to recover his balance
Lucia parried another strike before clashing her blade with the enemies scythe like weapon
Liv was doing support business and providing cover fire to Lucia shooting her Levi-Guns
......
......
......
Liv:"Commandant! We can't hold out for much longer!"
Lucia just continued to struggle doing her best to buy more time for her team and Raiden with Luna
Lucia:"I can still fight...for Luna and for everyone else"
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
________
A Beam of light sprouted from Luna and she fully regains her strength...She then looked at the Pterygota Queen that she fought sometime ago
Luna:"What a weak creature you are... Commandant of my sister...Get away from here"
Raiden nods before ordering Lucia, Lee and Liv to retreat back along with his Bunny 16-C and after that Luna turns her attention towards Pterygota Queen and sent a field attack beneath it
Four Black spear shaped weapons circled around Luna who was holding a black orb with a reddish hue on its center
Luna:"Disappear..."
Luna then crushed the orb and the four spear weapons immediately sent themselves towards the Pterygota Queen
________
Back at another part of the Place
*Crash*
*Crash*
*Boom*
*Stab*
Kiri:"...."
The Male landed safely at the platform and behind him a few feet away was Gabriel with his wings torn and leg broken
Kiri turns around and does a stance to finish this fight in one go and return back to the Gray Ravens...Gabriel used every last bit of his strength to stand up properly and coat his entire being in a red aura
Kiri's left eye flashed a Magenta color before running towards Gabriel who in turn flew up and dove towards him
The Male stops and jumps towards Gabriel and swinging his Greatsword upwards towards Gabriel's dove self suicide like attack
*Boom*
*Boom*
The Two made contact and an immediate explosion of dark purple energy sprouted out from it aswell as causing smoke to envelop the two... then the two figures landed on the ground opposite towards each other
Kiri landed gracefully and stabs his Greatsword to the ground and behind him was Gabriel who landed gracefully aswell to the ground
*Crack*
*Crack*
Gabriel's lower and upper body split into two and fell to the ground...a clear sign that he was defeated
Gabriel's upper body landed on the ground upfront as his lower body fell backwards the Red Light from his mechanical head slowly loosing and after a few seconds it had completely stopped flashing all together
Kiri stands up before swinging his sword to the left with one hand as if to remove the blood from an enemy...however his enemy was a machine with no heart nor blood
Kiri:"....."
The Male turned his head around and sees the defeated corpse of his enemy...The Male silently judged it before turning his head back around and making the Sword Disappear
Kiri then takes a few steps forward before stopping...he raised his head and turns to Gabriel's body and walked towards it
He kneeled down and sees that Gabriel indeed is dead before looking around and gazing the dark sections of land above...He stands up and steps on Gabriel's head with his left leg before crushing it into pieces...He then taps Gabriel's metallic like appendaged broken wing leaving a small insignificant crimson liquid on it
The Male then sighs to himself before heading back towards the team...he jumps high up into another platform and leaves the defeated Gabriel to fall alone and be consumed by the red ocean below

*Slice*
*Slice*
Luna was giving the Pterygota Queen the beating of it's lifetime as if the enemy was nothing more but a miniature sized punching dummy
Every hit Luna takes instantly heals and everytime she strikes it's always aimed to kill...Luna also creates fields of reality to warp and teleport before using her orbs to deliver massive damages
Several Red orbs bounced around the Pterygota Queen instantaneously not giving it a chance to escape...Luna flicks her fingers which summons a blue field around the Pterygota Queen which seemed to put it on place
Luna:"...Die"
Luna then raises her hand upwards and two yellow spikes punch through the Pterygota Queen's armor and straight into its vital parts
She then grabs the Pterygota Queen by the head before slamming it to the ground...She then crushes a small black orb on her hand and several spikes came from above which stabs itself on the Pterygota Queen's body
Luna:"This is how far you will go...Farewell"
Luna flicks her hand before raising it upwards creating a red circle like attack above and below the Pterygota Queen
Luna:"..."
She then slams her hand downwards and immediately several waves of what appears to be punishing virus and gravity crushes the Pterygota Queen down into small pieces

They are currently running for an exit...Lucia was carrying Raiden by the arms and behind her was Liv and Lee who hurriedly catches up to her
Raiden:"Wait what about Kiri!?"
Liv:"He'll live! I'm sure he got out that man knows how to get out of harm's way if he needs to!"

*Rumble*
*Rumble*
*Crash*
The Gray Ravens popped out from below into a building before hearing a cranking sound and hurriedly went to higher ground
Raiden:"...Well that's over"
Lucia:"Liv can you detect anything?"
Liv shakes her head not seeing anything in her map...Lee looks around and sees a figure step out of the smoking building
Lee:"Heh...Bastard is alive"
Lucia, Liv and Raiden looked up to Lee's direction and saw Kiri with a hands on his cloaks pockets
Kiri:"That was quite the show"
Raiden:"...Yeah...I don't think your safe yet pal"
Kiri:"I know...I know it doesn't really matter in the end now does it?"
Raiden:"...I guess so"
Liv:"..."
Kiri looked towards Liv who was gazing at him confused? shock? disappointment?
Kiri:"Not happy to see me?"
Liv:"...I can't answer that"
Kiri:"No worries...I'll die soon"
Liv perked up at that with shock and looks at Kiri with a perplexed emotion
Liv:"Your joking right?"
Kiri:"Ofcourse I'am"
Liv punches him in the shoulder...not too hard but only with medium strength
Liv:"Never joke about death...understand?"
Kiri groans nodding his head as Lucia sighs and looks at the horizon...her thoughts on one person
Lucia:"Luna...Wait for me"
