Hides muscles locked up from the shock! 'Damn, just the slightest bit of contact?!'
"Nephostyle! Quad-Strike!" Kirk yelled as he put as much force as he could behind his swing! So much devastating force that it surely would've been able to devastate an entire block of buildings! 'I have to give this my all! Just like the others! For Raven! For Leroy!'
Hide was the second weakest of CPA 9. But he was almost twice as strong as Colt! The very man that Jeanne was confronting! So no matter how much his muscles burned, he had to keep going!
As Hide stumbled backwards, his mind staggered, Kirk continued! A Chain suddenly hooking into his black suit! Thanks to the handy Markswoman of the Red Sashes, Kirks Steelamboo had been modified with anything a thief and navigator like him could need! A chain in the bottom that could reach up to 9 meters! The staff could be sectioned into 4 parts, and if need be, there was a sharp blade in the tip that could be used for a spear
Grinding his feet into the ground, he spun around on his heel, his waist rotating with extreme force and pulling Hide around by the chain and tossing him over his shoulder and into a far wall!
He crashed with a resounding sound, smoke and debris shooting out around! But Kirk still couldn't let up, he dashed away into the forest! His staff reconnected and at his side, mist spewing from the tip like a chimney and filling the room as he ran!
By the time Hide leaned forward, hand reaching for his head, he was dazed for a moment. It wasn't the impact that did it, but the Extreme shock. But all he could see was the mist surrounding him.
"Where'd you go…" He flipped forward, and reached behind to his utility belt, pulling out small flat rhombus shaped blades. One betwixed each finger, before turning invisible.
His gaze looked from side to side before shifting into invisibility.
Kirk however, was hiding behind a tree, keeping his ears open as he could hear Hide moving through the brush. He'd made sure that the mist he was producing was hot, causing the frost on the trees to begin dripping with moisture. Turning the room into a hot muggy room like a Tropical Jungle.
so many thoughts were going through his head, how else could he interact with the weather? Did he have to produce it first and mix it with others, or could he actively change weather he had already summoned? He knew he could do it with Clouds, thats what the Mystics in Skyderia had taught him…
His ears twitched as he looked to the side, hearing a snapping of branches, he moved slowly, peaking through the mist. He could see the Mist being disturbed, clear holes in the mist from where Hide began to swiftly move between.
'There…He's moving' His eyes widened as he dodged back behind the tree! All of the knives impaling into the trees bark! He'd barely seen the mist be disturbed where he began to aim, and then the mere half a second later when he actually though them!
'Shit! He saw me! Gotta keep going!' He dashed through the mist and across the room, Hiding behind another tree, his mind plotting a scheme!
All he had to do was wait. His mind was racing through all of his self taught lesson on weather and Meteorology, thinking of different ways to fight this foe, he was lucky that he was constantly playing at a distance!
Next, Kirk jumped into the clearing of the room! In clear sight of Hide! 'There!' His mind screamed as he took another pair of Throwing knives and threw them! Causing them to impale deep into Kirks thigh! Bloody lines trailing down his leg!
"Grah!" He fell limply forward, hands scraping into the ground! 'There! Come closer…' he grit his teeth as he could feel the pain shoot through his nerves. His nerves were on fire, the knives were serrated on a fine level, causing as much pain as possible!
"Finally! I got a good hit on you!" Hide said coming to a sudden stop, footsteps walking behind Kirk. Slowly, methodically. His boots came into view of the Navigator as he came to a stop.
"You know, you put up a decent fight. I'm surprised someone whose so weak could land anything on me." Kirks eyes gazed up at the man as the mist began to rise into the air.
"You seemed to really underestimate me. Or maybe you were just a little bitch running around and avoiding me the entire time! Heheheh…" Kirk breathed hard.
"You were no threat! Whatsoever! You were merely a nuisance" He punched Kirk across the jaw, pain shooting through his face as he slammed into the ground. Hides boot following soon after as he kicked repeatedly into the ribs of the man with his heel! Grunts and groans releasing from his throat.
'Just like that. Stay distracted you dumbass!' He grit his teeth, taking the pain of each blow again and again!
"Atmo….Acid Rain Splash!" Kirk raised his staff in the middle of one of Hides kicks, only for the end of his staff to spew out a thick hazy cloud of Acid! Burning and scortching hides face! A resounding scream coming from his mouth as he did!
"Grah! You little- Shit! You're gonna get it now!" His gloved hands grasping at his face!
Kirk struggled to get to his feet. Knees buckling as he did, blood dripping from his lip. "Hah…Hah. For someone so strong, you fall for everything that I throw your way…"
Kirks wrist wiped at his lip, smearing the blood. But Hide resolved for a moment, clawing at his face before piercing eyes shot daggers at Kirk! His face was fully revealed! A lean face with prominent cheeks and small lips now burned and boiled from the Acid!
"GRAH!" He began to stumble forward in an attempt to run!
"Atmo!!" Kirks face was grimaced into a fiery determination, his staff high up into the air! He had been waiting for so long, taking the beating because he was manipulating all the mist in the room to coalles into the sky to form a giant cloud! It was dark! Beginning to rumble with power!
"Grand Torrential Lightning Hurricane!" The Navigator slammed his staff down! Commanding the cloud above to form into a grand cyclonic pillar of wind! Lighting spewing out of its edges as a lighting bolt shot ahead! Slamming into Hide followed by the Localized hurricane slamming into him! Grinding and tearing him and the ground beneath him like a powerful drill!
His yell continued for nearly ten seconds! Before letting up, the cloud dispersed around him as rain began to fall. "Hah…Hah…Hah…"
His knees began to buckle, falling to them a moment later. Hideo in front of him, sharp eyes now exposed as his body was left with many cuts, it wasn't the secondary force of the hurricane that did it. But the lightning bolts paralytic properties, the wind only forcing him to take it all as his body was stuck in place.
"Hah…Hah…I hope…the others are okay…" His head slunk forward. He could feel himself beginning to fall into the edges of unconsciousness, as the first victory against CPA-9 and The Red Sash Pirates…
