[Scene: Kikyo vs. Alaude – Hell's Kitchen Bridge]
"Aha… seems like Raiden and the others are already engaged in combat," Kikyo murmured lazily, floating mid-air as violet Cloud Flames curled around his body like a lazy storm.
The violent shockwaves from distant battles vibrated through the skies — waves of destructive energy, flame bursts, and time-space distortions colliding. The faint sound of explosions echoed from the ruins of Hell's Kitchen. The corner of Kikyo's mouth twitched upward in a smile.
"I hope they're having fun." He tilted his head slightly. "Now then... where's my opponent?"
His eyes swept across the ravaged city until they landed on a lone figure standing atop a fractured suspension bridge in the distance.
That man stood with eerie stillness. He clutched a pair of iron handcuffs in one hand, occasionally letting them clink against the bridge's rusted guardrail — a slow, methodical sound like a ticking clock in a crypt.
Kikyo's eyes flashed. A delighted grin spread across his lips.
"There you are… Alaude, the original Cloud Guardian of the Vongola family."
Without a second thought, he vanished in a streak of Cloud Flame, tearing through the sky toward the bridge.
"It's a good spot to choose for a grave," he murmured.
As he approached, Kikyo lazily flicked his fingers. A beautifully engraved box materialized in his palm — ancient, almost ceremonial in design. His eyes narrowed with a reverent glint as he whispered:
"Open the box."
The air above the bridge shattered like glass.
Roars erupted as monstrous figures burst forth — dinosaurs of all shapes and kinds: tyrannosaurs with obsidian scales, razor-sharp velociraptors darting like bullets, pterosaurs screaming overhead. Some had mechanical augmentations; others pulsed with ghostly bioluminescence. And some defied logic — monstrous hybrids from other worlds, impossible by Earth's standards.
In mere seconds, the bridge transformed into a prehistoric nightmare — as if Hell's Kitchen had been dragged into the heart of the Jurassic.
But Alaude didn't flinch. His expression remained colder than stone.
He calmly raised his hand and opened his own Vongola box. A small creature leapt out — a hedgehog, quiet and unassuming, but every spike on its back shimmered like forged steel.
The hedgehog followed Alaude's heel like a loyal shadow.
One man. One hedgehog. Against an unstoppable tide of monsters.
Kikyo hovered above, arms crossed, watching his army thunder toward Alaude with savage roars. His voice echoed across the sky.
"After my last defeat at the hands of the Vongola, I realized something… Thunder Dragon alone wasn't enough. So I crossed through countless worlds. I bled, I hunted, I devoured. And I built this."
He swept his hand dramatically.
"This is no longer a legion equal to a division — this is a force that can overwhelm entire dimensions."
He smirked darkly. "In fact… they already did."
He held up three fingers.
"It only took them five minutes to slaughter all of Hell's Kitchen. Superheroes. Mutants. Vigilantes. All reduced to pulp. That playground of resistance? It's a fossil now."
"And it's only fair you suffer the same fate, Cloud Guardian."
These weren't just random beasts. Kikyo had handpicked them from the Main God Space, stealing monstrosities from the Alien franchise, Jurassic World, even hybrid horrors like the Zombie Tyrannosaurus from the Digital World. Every dinosaur carried not just brute strength, but unique abilities.
And their greatest weapon?
Proliferation.
A Cloud Flame-based ability: infinite replication. Each time a dinosaur was struck, it split. One became two. Two became four. Within moments, the army doubled and tripled in size — from hundreds to thousands. The bridge began to crack under their weight.
Alaude moved fast — faster than any human had the right to — swinging his handcuffs with brutal precision.
But for every dinosaur he crushed, more emerged.
Soon his space to maneuver began to shrink. The bridge grew narrower with bodies and chaos. A raptor lunged, catching his sleeve — a shallow wound tore across his arm. Blood splattered against his white collar.
The hedgehog beside him reacted instantly, launching a spiked counterattack that shredded the raptor's throat.
But Kikyo only laughed.
"Do you get it now? Proliferation is the very essence of Cloud Flames — infinite, expanding, unstoppable. What tricks could you possibly have left, Alaude?"
Alaude didn't answer.
He merely loosened his tie. Rolled up his sleeves. Cracked his neck once.
Then said flatly:
"Noisy."
He snapped his cuffs forward — and suddenly, hundreds of silver chains shot out like lightning, latching onto the dinosaurs' limbs.
Each chain glowed with sealing symbols — ancient Cloud sigils etched into their surfaces.
The massive beasts roared in confusion — not pain, not fear — just a complete shutdown of movement. Their muscles refused to obey.
Kikyo's smile faltered.
Then he snapped his fingers.
Dark clouds thundered into existence. Thousands of Cloud Thorns — crystalline spears infused with raw proliferation — exploded from all directions, raining down like meteorites toward Alaude.
"Clouds are eternal expansion — you can't escape it!"
But Alaude's expression never changed.
As the sky darkened, his hedgehog suddenly multiplied — tens, hundreds, thousands of them erupting from its tiny body, an infinite storm of living needles.
Each hedgehog launched like a missile, colliding with the descending thorns. Explosions burst in midair — brilliant blue light flashing across the battlefield like firecrackers in a diamond storm.
Then came the chain reaction.
Alaude raised both hands.
"Clouds should not be bound by matter," he whispered.
With that, every single dinosaur — still sealed in place — turned toward Kikyo.
The Cloud handcuff seals that had paralyzed them now redirected their intent.
They surged up the bridge — not at Alaude, but at their own master.
Kikyo's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw his own unstoppable army turning on him — his own cloud proliferation overridden, repurposed by Alaude's superior command over Cloud Flames.
He hissed in fury.
"You dare—!"
