Chapter 9 - Legacy Clash - Round 2

[ Senna Ashbourne ]: "It's on! Time for the showdown of this round! Bitch against a bitch!"

She shouted with a sharp and brazen voice as she pounded her right foot against the arena floor.

Her eyes became determined as she wore a manic grin on her face.

The air warped faintly around her as her gravity surged, as a violet aura started enveloping her, making her hair whip and flutter as if pulled by unseen tides.

[ Gravitational Aura ][1]

The stadium trembled from the intense crowd energy as spectators yelled both names in powerful waves of sound...

"Senna!"

"Ashley!"

"Se-nna!!"

"Ash-ley!!"

"SENNA!!!"

"ASHLEY!!!"

The audience produced a thunderous wall of sound through their chants, which made the arena seats vibrate and produced vibrations.

The battle between two warriors transformed into a fight between legacies, while spectators maintained their split allegiance yet wanted to enjoy the show.

Ashley arched her back front with deliberate poise, her chest down, and her legs spread as far as if she were displaying herself to both the crowd and her opponent.

A sultry smile tugged at her lips, sharp and confident, before an obsidian cube materialized in both of her hands, which slowly turned into blades.

Her hands illuminated two sleek obsidian blades, which appeared with a resonant crackle, and their jagged edges were shining with a rainbow glow.

The obsidian armor across her form pulsed faintly, glowing as the protective cube from earlier dissolved piece by piece.

Ashley moved forward with elegance while her catwalk-like steps conveyed both elegance and dangerous intent.

In response, Senna showed her dominance by spreading her arms wide while her gravitational force spread like a storm.

Senna then charged with her flight the gravity burst with a sharp BOOM that rattled the very arena.

The shockwave rippled outward, kicking up dust...

She tore across the arena like a living projectile, her hair whipping violently in the gale her flight created, her eyes narrowed in pure, unrelenting focus as she honed in on Ashley.

Ashley materialized small obsidian cubes that spun at a rapid rate; the cubes whirled like sawblades, a storm tearing through the air as Ashley unleashed them to Senna.

Senna thrust out her hand, trying to counter it by using her gravity instead, the gravity rippling in jagged waves to seize control—but nothing happened.

Her brows furrowed in shock, her powers refusing to bind the obsidian storm.

[ Prismforge Authority ][2]

[ Senna Ashbourne ]: "What—?!"

She hissed, forcing her to twist her body sharply to dodge the cubes that screeched past, carving trails in the air where she had been a heartbeat before.

She shot sideways in a quick motion, the sonic crack of her sudden movement shaking the stands.

Yet the cubes curved unnaturally, relentlessly adjusting their angles to track her...

[ Ashley Vermillion ]: "HAHAHAHAHHAHA! Stupid bitch! Only I can control them!"

A mocking laugh burst from Ashley's mouth as she displayed a wide and wild smile.

While the obsidian cubes continued to chase Senna, she gritted her teeth as she hurled herself higher and higher, gravity roaring in her wake as she fled the swarm.

The crowd gasped, their heads and eyes following her as she streaked upwards, the cubes chasing close behind.

Then suddenly the chasing obsidians started to fracture and break into fragments, vanishing into nothingness.

Senna remained suspended in mid-air for a brief instant while her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her forehead dripped with sweat.

Then she smiled, giving a small laugh.

[ Senna Ashbourne ]: "Hehehehahahaha..."

Senna laughed as she came to a realization of something...

[ Senna Ashbourne ]: "I GOT YOU NOW BITCH!"

She roared, her voice cracking with savage delight and her face full of excitement.

[ Ashley Vermillion ]: "Looks like she noticed it already..."

Her voice was low, almost amused, though the sharpness in her eyes betrayed a flicker of annoyance.

The obsidian wings materialized and unfolded from her back once more, jagged and their sides gleaming with rainbow light.

[ Ashley Vermillion ]: "Time to actually get serious..."

She uttered as the ground beneath her cracked as she launched herself upward, the force of her flight shattering stone and throwing debris into the air.

Her flight caused a sonic boom that ripped through the arena...

As she flew midair, her body framed by streaks of rainbow glow, fragments of obsidian materialized around her.

Dozens of obsidian cubes began to spin with increasing velocity, whirring like a storm of blades.

They then orbited around her in a deadly, the air screeching from their rapid rotations, each one humming intensely as she flew up to Senna.

Senna stretched out her arms, her hair moving violently from the gravity tides she unleashed.

The atmosphere above them thickened—an invisible weight crushing downward.

The very clouds got pulled on the sky's mass, forging a gravity well around Ashley's formation.

The cubes staggered in their orbit, their neat rhythm faltering under the sudden distortion.

Senna's eyes gleamed, wild with defiance as she clenched her fist and the gravity snapped inward...

A barrage of compressed gravitational spheres, dense as cannon fire, launched from her position, streaking towards Ashley at an insane speed.

The shockwaves from each shot cracked the air, blasting gusts across the arena.

And to top it off, she is also casting a huge gravitational field, pushing down anything in the sky, affecting Ashley's flight.

Ashley clenched her jaw while Senna's gravity pushed against her body with the force trying to pull her down.

She met the barrage of the compressed gravitational spheres, parrying them with her two obsidian prismforge swords before being unable to defend further.

She then used the orbiting cubes to shield her from the gravitational force as her mouth bleeds out, forcefully controlling the prismforges to go against the force.

The orbiting obsidian cubes shuddered under the invisible pull, their paths wobbling violently as if they were about to collapse inward.

But Ashley's will flared. She forced the prismforges to keep spinning, grinding against the gravitational pressure with screeching resistance, sparks of rainbow energy snapping in the air as the cube struck against unseen tides.

Each cube thrummed louder, a storm of jagged halos resisting Senna's pull, the deadly orbit bending to form a shield around her.

Fractured rainbow light flickered across her body as the cubes scraped against the gravitational distortion, cutting ripples into the very air.

Ashley was able to almost close the distance before falling; she managed to hurl whirling obsidians to Senna that managed to bypass the gravitational pressure.

They shrieked as they cut through the warped air, the velocity so great it bypassed the gravitational pressure.

Senna's eyes expanded when they broke free from her gravitational force, which she thought was unbreakable.

She turned her body and dodged sharply, her violet aura glow blurring as she bent her flight path, narrowly avoiding the whirling cubes.

Even so, one cube managed to hit her fully but grazed past her waist due to her gravitational aura, leaving a burning cut as she almost lost control of her flight as the rest tore through the space where she had been before.

Ashley's strength gave out at the peak of her ascent. The gravitational weight crushed her wings shut, and her body plummeted.

The remaining cubes hurled at Senna dematerialized, losing their form in the air.

Senna steadied herself, her chest heaving before descending slowly as she had a hard time controlling her gravitational aura, on which she might lose her flight soon.

She managed to endure the assault—but only because Ashley's obsidian cubes had fallen out of her control range.

Both fighters dropped from the sky.

Ashley struck the ground first, but just before the impact, her wings flared back into shape.

A burst of obsidian shards cracked the ground, absorbing the force as she steadied her descent.

Ashley wiped the blood on her mouth, smiling as she watched Senna descend slowly.

Senna's hand pressed tightly against the wound along her waist, her blood staining her fingers as she struggled to keep her balance.

As she descends slowly...

Ashley extended her shaking hand while obsidian cubes appeared before her.

The cubes appeared one by one when she combined them through force, which caused violent air distortions at each point of contact.

The construct expanded into a massive black fortress that towered above her as it spun faster and faster with each breath she took.

The spinning construct split the air with its intense pressure.

Ashley's mouth bled, as her teeth clenched in pain because she had overused her Sigil to her upper limit she could handle.

[ Ashley Vermillion ]: "LET'S SEE YOU FUCKING DODGE THIS ONE BITCH!!"

Her voice cracked like thunder, raw and feral.

Senna's eyes widened as she saw the colossal obsidian cube fill her vision.

The sheer pressure of it clawed at her skin, every nerve screaming in warning.

As a counterattack, Senna created another black hole with her gravity which burst into existence before her chest.

A tiny black hole with impossible density swirled before her eyes while its edges distorted the surrounding air.

As she poured every ounce of her energy into that creation.

Ashley launched the massive obsidian cube while the black hole's pull drew near, as the cube produced a loud scream towards the artificial black hole.

Ashley growled while her body shook uncontrollably as she maintained control despite the blood coming out of her jaw.

The audience watched in complete silence as the two powers clashed in a spectacular display.

The black hole destroyed the cube by scraping against it until fragments broke off and shattered into pieces.

The ground shook violently while the stands shook, and the air produced intense waves that sent debris flying through the air like sharp objects.

As always, the invisible barrier made in the arena consistently shielded the spectators from these threats.

Senna let out a scream through her locked teeth as she could barely hold the black hole from existing.

For thirty seconds, the forces clashed, the colossal obsidian cube straining and twisting under the immense energy before finally rupturing, fracturing violently in every direction.

Both fighters pushed themselves to the limit, using every ounce of their strength to shield themselves from the scattering fragments.

Senna's energy finally gave out...

Slowly, she plummeted to the arena floor unconscious, as her violet gravitational aura faded into nothingness.

Ashley barely managed to stay upright as she sank to the ground, vulnerable and spent.

The backlash had torn away portions of her obsidian armor, exposing glimpses of her battle-suit beneath.

Gradually, the shattered armor dissolved entirely, leaving her form restored to her standard Vermillion battle suit as she collapsed, panting and drained.

Then the announcer finally concluded the match...

[ Arena Announcer ]: "AFTER AN INTENSE PRESSURE AND UNRELENTING BATTLE… THE VICTOR OF ROUND TWO, WALKI- AHEMM! SITTING STRONG! IS… ASHLEY VERMILLION OF THE HOUSE VERMILLION!!!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, the roar of the spectators shaking the arena as banners waved and the echoes of the fight lingered in the charged air.

Another round has come to an end... the Legacy Clash - Round 2

[1] A faint violet hue surrounds the user, shifting like a subtle haze along their sides. The aura enables natural flight through gravitational pull modification and generates a protective field that reduces the impact of incoming projectiles and strikes.

[2] The sigilbearer can exert absolute dominion over their conjured obsidian prismforge only at range. Ignoring any external interference. The authority extends to all fused or morphed forms of the obsidian forges, ensuring their movements remain precise, and unyielding to the sigilbearer's command.
