"So you're just like the others," Rua snarled, getting enraged by the revelation, "You're no better than Kuro."
The armored warrior's eyes flashed a brilliant yellow behind the visor as he cracked open the top of the Can of Whoop-Ass, and flung it at Arumon as it began to froth with orange energy. The blazing power erupted from the can at the Balance Prototype, spreading outwards as it fired. Rua gathered air particles around him as he began a mad run, turning invisible to Arumon's eyes and speeding up greatly as he moved. He ducked down and grabbed Sora as he passed, lugging the frozen Administrator with him as he moved.
Even as the energy from the Can of Whoop-Ass was surrounding Arumon and ready to ignite at any moment, Rua, still Phase Shifting, struck out with his Phase Scythe as he passed the knight, slashing at his midsection. Just as he exited out of Phase Shift, he kept running, ducking into a building just as the Can of Whoop-Ass ignited, destroying everything around Arumon in a vicious explosion that incinerated the buildings around him.

The smoke was just beginning to clear. The entire town had vanished with that single item's power.
And in the center stood of it all stood a knight, brushing some dust off of his armor, surprised that his armor was damaged from that attack...although it was only a few dents...nothing that wouldn't be repaired in a short while.
"I am quite amazed..." Arumon began, his back turned to Rua. "That you were able to grab that boy...although one can only guess how long he'll last, what with all your distractions and the like."

Rua had braced himself behind the rubble, as it was the last bit of construction still standing after the battle. As the attack had gone off, he had applied a specialized thawing potion to Sora, and he was already showing signs of recovery. As his hand had been freed in the shockwave left by the Can of Whoop-Ass, he put a powerful recovery potion in it for Sora to use once he could move his arm.
As the smoke cleared, he looked out from behind it and swore. Arumon had hardly taken any damage! He rose and stepped out of his cover, his lower half obscured by the settling dust. He listened intently to Arumon's words, and grinned wryly. "I'm always doing things like that," he replied to his opponent, "Yet everyone seems surprised when it happens."

"No surprise. That wasn't what I would exactly call a memorable blow..." the knight said simply, brushing off the rest off his armor.
"Now....are we done?"

"It's never done, I think," Rua said, settling back with his feet spread evenly. He held the Phase Scythe in front of him, its blade pointed right at Arumon. "But we can sure as hell keep trying to end it."
Off nearby, a young woman was coughing as she waved away the dust near her. Her armor and hair were matted with the dust, and she hacked violently before wiping her eyes with her arm, looking off at the billowing cloud of dust and smoke rising into the air. "I better get over there," Alasea muttered, seeing two figures standing in the dust, one of them holding a sword forward at another. She quietly crossed the distance, seeing that the sword-wielding figure was her boyfriend, and the other was a great, armored figure that gave her a creepy vibe as she stared at him.
Her eyes fell upon someone else, frozen behind some rubble, and she quickly rushed over to Sora's side, swearing at the extent of the damage. "Damn," she hissed, mostly to herself, "What happened to you?"

The administrator was still thawing, but he had managed to move his left hand, pointing in the direction of the current standoff between Rua and his potential killer.
"Agreed, although I see no point if the outcome is that one sided....pride is one thing, stupidity is another." the knight said bluntly, before moving his head, eyeing the newcomer and Sora for only abrief second.

"Funny," Rua said, "I always thought they were the same."
The Phase Scythe shone in the light for a brief second before energy flared around it. Rua hefted the crystalline blade into the air, pointing it straight up, and the weapon blazed with power, the energy bursting upwards from the blade and condensing around it, forming a giant energy sword nearly sixteen feet in length. The energy of the Shin Kougenjin hummed as the emerald blade glowed, and with a cry, Rua brought the entire weapon down in a tremendous slash at Arumon. A gigantic arc of energy was ripped from the blade, shredding through the air with reckless abandon at the knight's open back.
Alasea looked at Rua and the knight briefly before nodding. "Let's get you fixed up first," she said lightly, looking the thawing Sora over before turning him over and examining his back. She placed her hand over the spot where Arumon had cast the spell into him, channeling healing energies into it to help aid his healing.

"Stop, please..." The young administrator gasped, finally able to speak. "No point in healing yet...after all, your boyfriend voer there has barely even scratched 'im." Sora gave a weak chuckle, before dark streams began flowing out of his body, his eyes beginning to glow a bright yellow.
An attack from the back was obvious, but the knight was still amazed at how fast it came. He tried spinning around quickly, only to be knocked several feet, landing on his back. His armor had several burn marks from the attack, but the man stood up, both blades drawn.
"Try again. I'm still alive."

Air particles gathered beneath Rua's feet as Arumon picked himself up, causing the wind to swirl around his feet for a brief moment. As the knight spoke, Rua blasted into the air and descended down at nearly the speed of a lightning bolt, the azure blade of the Phase Scythe gleaming and refracting the light for a brief second as he stabbed down at the knight's chest with the Driver attack.
Alasea's eyes narrowed and she quickly backed away, recognizing the darkness that was covering the young administrator. She hoped that Sora could now control the Anti-Form, or she and Rua would really be in trouble. She drew the Megami Tsurugi in a swift motion and grasped it with both hands, holding it tightly before her should she have to defend herself.

The knight thrusted both weapons up, defending against Rua's own blade, literally holding his opponent mid-air.
"I'm disappointed...you seemed to do much better last ti--" The knight had been interrupted by a streak of darkness, which rammed into his chest, allowing Rua to jab down at the knight while he had been momentarily shaken up by the black figure.
"Tch..."The blade rammed against Arumon's armor...still not enough to penetrate the magical qualities of it yet, but it was beginning to take heavy damage.
"What...?" The knight asked, first looking at his chest where Rua's blade struck, then began circling around the area. Sora was gone from his original position...

Taking hold of his weapon in both hands, Rua planted his feet on Arumon's chest and shoved himself backwards, flipping in midair as he soared. Quickly sheathing his weapon in the process, he activated all of his cannons simultaneously and began an intense barrage of energy blasts, each weapon firing one after the other down at the armored knight as Anti-Sora streaked off.

Arumon braced himself, holding both keyblades out, defending himself as much as possible against the incoming barrage of energy blasts, being hit by several, although he was able to keep his ground...
"AGAIN?!" The knight roared as his back was kicked repeatedly as Rua's blasts continued to hit him...there was no way to defend against both at once.

Alasea wasn't sure what exactly was going on, knowing nothing about Arumon or why Rua and Sora were fighting him in the first place. She could tell his power was incredible, holding up magnificently against the combined assault of the Beta Tester and the transformed Administrator. Despite not knowing what was going on, she trusted Rua and his instincts, and she wanted to help out.
She drank in her spiritual power, infusing magic into the Megami Tsurugi. Its blade shone with magical light, and she readied it in front of her before stepping forward and pushing off. The Daughter of Light crossed the battlefield like a blur, her sword leaving a trail of light as it traveled. She came at Arumon from his side, and her blade spun around once in a circle before she struck, leaping upwards as she slashed up at the knight's side.

Three massive string of attacks at once....even in his armor, there was no way he could hold out much longer without taking serious damage.
The knight took the only chance he had and jabbed his blade into the ground, causing a circle of light to encircle his feet. If this worked, it would damage his three foes from the inside...if not that, then the attack would at least seperate the three from him.

Rua's eyes widened in shock as the Full Salvo, at first having been pounding Arumon and the dirt, was suddenly blasting harmlessly across the Trinity Field. From the corner of his eye he saw his girlfriend being struck away by the dangerous energy produced by Arumon, and he ceased his attacks as the backblast of the Full Salvo began to spread. He pushed his shield in front of him, causing a barrier of energy to expand around it, but it was quickly shattered, and he was blasted away and into the dirt by the sheer force of the Trinity Field combined with the backblast.
