Noah stepped forward.
"Emma...Amy, stay back. I'll–."
Amy grabbed his arm.
"No. Let me do it."
Noah frowned. "Amy, this thing is–."
"I said let me!" she shouted.
Noah looked at her like she lost her mind.
"Amy, he's a monster now."
"I don't care. Let me do it." she said.
Noah slowly nodded. "…Alright. Don't die."
Amy stepped into the open space between the tables.
Harris turned toward her, drool dripping from his mouth.
"Amy…" his voice echoed, "my beautiful niece, my beautiful bride…"
"Shut up." Amy said.
Amy took a deep breath and lowered her stance.
Harris lunged at amy, he moved so fast the floorboards snapped under his feet.
Amy jumped sideways.
CRASH!
Harris's arm punched straight through a thick wooden pillar, splitting it in half.
Amy rushed in with rapid punches.
THAP!
THAP!
THAP!
THAP!
Harris barely moved.
Her fists hit him like she was punching a steel wall.
His massive hand gripped her by the waist.
He threw her across the restaurant.
BOOM!
She smashed into the counter, breaking dishes and sending pots crashing to the floor.
"Amy!" Emma cried.
Amy got up, wiping blood from her mouth.
"I'm fine…"
Harris grinned.
"I love when you struggle."
He charged again.
Amy ducked under a swing and kicked his knee.
CRACK!
His knee bent backwards and reformed.
Harris backhanded her.
BAM!
She flew into the kitchen door so hard the hinges bent.
She coughed up blood.
"Amy, I'm stopping this," Noah said, stepping forward.
"No!" she shouted back with her mouth full of blood.
"Don't help me… please…"
Harris stomped towards her, each step shaking the floor.
Amy forced herself up.
Harris grabbed her by the head and slammed her through a table.
KRAK!
He lifted her again.
And slammed her into the same spot.
KRAK!
The floor cracked.
"A…my…" he whispered, drooling.
"Marry me…"
Harris grabbed her and smashed her into a wall.
"Amy!" Noah yelled.
Amy forced herself back up and took her stance again, breathing hard.
"Amy!" Noah shouted. "You're going to die!"
"I… I'm not losing to him…" Amy said.
Amy staggered, as Harris's monstrous form towered over her, drooling.
Her vision blurred.
And suddenly a memory resurfaced.
[Flashback]
"Dad, this is too hard…" Amy said, sweating, barely holding her stance.
Her father smiled, resting a hand on her head.
"You're only saying that now," he said, "but once you master this… you will be unstoppable."
Amy clenched her small fists.
"I won't give up."
"That's my girl."
[Flashback ends.]
Amy lowered her hands, then took a different stance.
She breathed in and out, calmed and focused.
"Chiha secret family technique… Beast Vein Haki…" Amy said softly.
Her aura exploded outward.
"Beast Slayer."
A tail formed behind her and cat-like ears rose from her head, glowing slightly.
Emma's jaw dropped.
"Noah… she grew ears… and a tail…"
Noah smiled.
Harris stumbled back.
"A-Amy… so this is the Haki that's been passed down …?"
Harris launched forward, swinging his giant arm.
But Amy was already gone.
WHOOSH.
She appeared behind him.
He swung again—
Amy stepped aside before he even finished the motion.
"Is she using mantra?" Emma asked, terrified.
"Maybe" Noah replied.
Amy walked toward Harris slowly.
Each step cracked the ground beneath her.
Harris roared and threw a full-strength punch.
Amy tilted her head slightly.
The attack missed by a few inches
"Amy…" Harris said, panicking.
Amy's eyes glowed.
"You were my family....my uncle."
Amy slid her feet back, crouching low like an animal.
"No… wait… Amy—!" Harris said, terrified.
Amy launched forward.
"Beast Fang!"
A sharp, claw-shaped strike tore across Harris's chest, sending him flying across the restaurant.
He hit the ground hard and didn't move.
Amy stood over him, breathing slowly, her tail swaying behind her.
The Beast Vein faded.
Her ears and tail vanished.
Noah walked over with a small smile.
"Good job," he said.
Emma let out a sigh of relief.
"You're … incredible…"
Amy exhaled, then collapsed.
