In darkness Kogetsu's voice could be heard
'Wha what happened'
'Oh yeah it's used a max output Downgrade damaging my astral body...but wait where's all the pain of having my existence Downgrading'
Kogetsus eyes flicker as he opens his eyes
Surprised he sees well umm quite a precarious site
Kogetsu attempts to move but couldn't
'Damn i guess my body is recovering and based on what im seeing...on someone lap'
'It's not a bad feeling but still beyond my comfort zone'
[System prompt]
[The affects of Downgrads recoil has been severely weakened due to the counter action of upgrade]
'Wait upgrade?'
'Who the hell?–'
As if coming to the realization Kogetsu teleports but doesn't get far when his limp body fell to the ground into a patch a yellow grow
He heard the sound a gentle footsteps as he looks up to see a lady wearing dazzling bright yellow long sleeve shirt
A white skirt
Yellow hair and light shimmering blue eyes
The lady with a slightly annoyed tone asks
"Why hello there Kogetsu how's it been?"
"Oh right I forgot you can't talk"
The lady snickers and then crouches smiling at him
Kogetsu inwardly groans
'Don't give that fake smile'
'...Out of all places did I have to meet her here i wished I'd killed her when we first met the day we reunited Shenky and His wife'
As if reminiscing he flashes back Shenky,Shadow,Unknown,Mystery and him destroyed the spatial barrier for the first when he saw her
A being identical to him simply with long hair
The two glided towards each other staring for while before Kogetsu broke the silence
"So you must be alternate self"
The girl rudely retwarts
"You mean my alternate self get it right since your technically an inferior variant to me"
Kogetsu immediately snapped as he shouts
"DOWNGRADE"
The version counters
"UPGRADE"
The abilities cancel each out when a blast of energy pushed them apart
"Well damn it seems you counter me"
"Likewise"
A moment a silence passes when the ladies face contwarted in disgust
"Ugh I can't stand staring at you"
Kogetsu bites back
"Right back at ya"
The lady then laughed lightly before saying that genuinely pissed Kogetsu off
"I can't reciprocate with how you actively like a support atleast...that can bring meaning to your feeble life"
Before Kogetsu could even reply she continued
"Remember this name runt I am Kirasia and I plan to get rid off this putrid body"
"Anyways seeya"
Kirasia fades into rainbow particles as the memory ends Kogetsu now returns to tge present where Kirasia was smiling at him
'Well it seems she really did get a new body'
"So why would a narcissist like her being doing here"
Kogetsu immediately realized he said that aloud
'Curse my rotten like for my voice coming back'
Kirasia immediately emitted a crimson energy contrasting her vibrant appearance
"Oh so you think im a narcissist now?"
'Well I might as well die in tge grace I dug for myself'
Kogetsu thought
"Yes actually I think your a narcissist bitch"
Kirasia smiles
"Well unfortunately for you your words won't sway me the only reason why I let you use my lap was because Misstress Milin ordered me"
"Of course that was after she stopped me from cutting you head clean off when I laid my eyes on you"
'Yep she hasn't changed'
'In fact she unfortunately reminds me of the me from the original word'
'Which is why I probably despise ever so more'
Kirasia gets up
"Anyways my services have been complete so I'll be taking my leave"
She looked down at Kogetsu
"Right before I leave"
Kirasia then unleashed devastating kick to Kogetsu's stomach launching him across the yellow fields
Then green goo was released from her body shaping into another version of her
An orange astral projection if her comes out from the original body and into the new one
Kirasia's original body then fell to the ground as Kirasia engulfed it in pure crimson flame
The body was then burned to pile if dust
She spat remarking
"As if I'd stay in a body with your trace on it"
Kirasia then walked away
Kogetsu on the floors groans in pain staring at the blue listless sky he thought
"Man I hate her"
Abruptly a Shadow loomed over him
This time it was a Milin who was kindly smiling at him
"Hey there hotty how's it been?"
"Hell first I was at risk of becoming goo,then i woke up your see that horrible women,then i was ragdolled across the field then–"
Milin silenced him with her while laying on him she says
"You know you'd make a great goo right"
"I'd rather not be turned into goo"
Milin leans her pretty face in her palm
"Oh come wouldn't you want to be my good?"
"I respectfully decline the offer"
Milin chuckles
"Anyways what did you think of your iniation?"
"It was horrible experience because an old hag–"
Kogetsu couldn't even other another word when Milin drove her screwdriver into the ground only inches away from his head
Milin with a cold voice asks
"Excuse me I didn't quite hear you properly"
Kogetsu drenched in cold sweat replies
"I mean when a wonderful young women introduced me to the powerful might of the Alchemist tower"
Milin warmly smiles at him
"Much better"
Milin gets up as her blue goo emerges once more lifting Kogetsu up
Milin then began walking into the inner confines of the tower
As the two walked across the hall Kogetsu broke tge silence
"Question Milin how exactly did Kirasia do on her iniation"
Kogetsu had thought if he got a C then Kirasia probably did as good or worse then him
"Oh well she actually got an S"
"WHAT!"
Kogetsu was so surprised he almost forgot he was still injured immediately a sharp sense of pain hit
Milin nods
"Yeah she got an S her upgrade ability was so effective not only increasing her stats but her control over Upgrade could compare to your downgrade"
Kogetsu confusedly asks
"What do you mean?"
Milin turns her head towards him smiling as usual
"Don't think I didn't notice how you specifically targeted the inner confines of my good to actually downgrade it"
"While downgrade is great for combat in every single way Upgrade lacks behind it as it prove to be a disadvantage at times"
Milin stayed silent for a moment
"Though Kirasia used it in a way it surprised me since she targeted specific functions if things to upgrade"
"For example imagine charging a phone"
"The better the charger the faster it charges"
"But if you changed the energy source yo let's say anything energy cranker"
"Sure it'll be faster but too many cranks can overload the phone destroying it"
Milin enters a room
"Kirasia seemingly uses the same logic
Improving a certain aspect of a something beyond it's or the users control can be lethal if done correctly"
Kogetsu surprised now had a new found respect for her but it had immediately faded as he remembered what she did to him
Milin places him on the bed of a luxurious room before walking towards the door
"Rest up you'll need it for tomorrow"
Milin closes the door leaving Kogetsu in deep thought
"I will improve...this i swear"
