Chapter 44 - Chapter 34: The true mistress of the wind

Previously on Seven Rings of Hell it was a laid back moment with Onaraka's second day just beginning, now , what we last saw was the reveal of Andrea In the spirit realm...

{It resumes back to that tearful moment...}

Onaraka: M- Mom!!

Andrea: Yes it's me my child... (opens her arms for a hug)

{Onaraka without a second thought ran into her arms crying her eyes out}

Onaraka: It's really you! I'm so happy to see you, it feels like it's been a lifetime!

Andrea: I'm happy too baby chick, but I'm really proud of what you've done so far ever since I...

Onaraka: Don't say that, I know you died because of me!! I haven't forgiven myself ever since.

Andrea: No Baby chick it isn't your fault, (as she reveals the scar on her neck from that moment) it was completely out of your control, my time was limited since my element was being passed on to you ever since you were born.

Onaraka: What does that mean?

Andrea: When you have your element you can live a long life, until the next holder comes into existence, then your days are numbered until the day the next holder unlocks there element. These powers give the strength and favour of God to keep going.

Onaraka: So... If I wasn't born... You could've... Been alive.

Andrea: No, don't say that I've had my time now it's your time.

Onaraka: How can you not have regrets? I know you could've easily beaten Ichiro and none of this would've happened if I wasn't born...

Andrea: If you weren't born... Sure I could've beaten Ichiro, but Sendou and Kimura, they weren't going to be the great men they are now without you. I never regretted having you, you were me and your father's pride and joy, your father always wanted a daughter, so did I... When you were born, you were the most precious thing I've ever seen. Me and your father wouldn't give you up for the world, we loved seeing you grow, but as you grew up and I fell pregnant with Sendou... Bill was still after us before we could bring up the next generation of elementals. He sent demons after us relentlessly we tried running but we couldn't escape them, and your father... He couldn't fight anymore because his element was passed on to Sendou... He had no choice... But to sacrifice himself. He chose to let you live, to let you have a better life. He believed you could do great things. And seeing you grow up, he wasn't lying, your fighting career has been the best. Your my pride and joy, you Sendou and Kimura are best gift I ever received from God.

Onaraka: Thank you mom... I really needed to hear that, you have no idea how much pressure I put on myself to be strong... I haven't had a moment to be vulnerable and actually talking about my feelings.

Andrea: Don't worry I know exactly how you feel, I was the exact same , the burden of being strong Is a heavy one, but we're the Takashi women , we can handle it!! (As she shines a kind smile to Onaraka)

Onaraka: (as she wipes her tears) Yeah!! (As she smiles back)

Andrea: Let's start your training!!

Onaraka: Hell yeah!!

{Andrea takes a step back}

Andrea: You remember what I taught you? (She takes a heavy hitter tight guard MMA stance)

Onaraka: Yup! You taught me everything you know! (As she mimics her exact stance)

Andrea: Not everything... (She raises her hand and taunts) Bring it on!!

Onaraka: This feels like old times!! Here I come Mom!! (As she dashes in a glowing aura of light pink)

{As Onaraka throws a textbook right straight that sent a powerful shock through the ground}

Onaraka: How's That?!

{But as the dust clears Andrea blocked it with one hand}

Andrea: You have gotten a lot stronger!! But not strong enough!! (As she retaliates with a side kick straight to Onaraka's core)

{That single kick sent a giant shockwave that reverbed throughout Onaraka's body}

Onaraka: Agh!! (The blood force trauma was so strong she coughed up blood) How are you... So powerful?!

Andrea: This is the power of the mistress of the wind... The strength to push mountains in my prime. This is the gap between me and you. (The pressure is palpable through her words) [So... How do you handle pressure?]

Onaraka: I'm not... gonna give up!! (As she pulls herself to her feet still shaking vision blurred but her determination unshaken) I will... (as her vision clears and her eyes glow bright pink as her hair floats up) Defeat You!! (As she bellows these words they immite the same pressure as Andrea's)

{Onaraka stands her ground refusing to back down}

Andrea: [That's what I want to see!!] Now come at me... I'll show you the path you seek. But it's not going to be easy!! (As she readies her stance ready to pounce)

Onaraka: Give me all the pain on this path, I want to be as strong as possible!! Because I'm not just fighting for myself!! (Her heart and determination burns so bright as it shows everyone she's fighting for pushing her forward)

Andrea: [Her aura is illuminating so brightly, she's finally tapping into the elements true strength.]

{They stare off their eyes locked onto one another}

{Now Onaraka takes the initiative again}

Onaraka: [Remember what Itadori taught me. Small. Compact. Aim it upwards!!] (As she goes in low clenches her fists tightly and unleashes a fast barrage of compact punches)

Andrea: I'm gonna need two hands fir this!! (As she starts catching each punch with her hands)

{But before she knows it Onaraka's onslaught lifts both of them into the air}

Onaraka: [Now it's time to switch up!!] (As she's about to throw a left high kick)

Andrea: [She's going high!!] (She puts her guard to block the kick) {Onaraka feints the kick) Huh?!

{Onaraka feinted high but was actually aiming for Andrea's core with a right side kick}

{Onaraka's kick had the exact effect on Andrea as it did to her}

Andrea: [She really does take after me... I'd be so proud if I wasn't the one getting hit by it!!] (As she coughs blood) You really are in your element in the air huh?

Onaraka: I fight way better when I let the tide of the wind decide where I throw my next attack.

Andrea: That's good, but your not truly taking advantage of this domain. Your blows rely only on upper body strength. (As she pivots in the air) Your supposed to throw your entire body weight behind each heavy blow because you can trust yourself that your not going to fall. So the main strategy is rapid fire blows lift them up into the air and strike with unrelenting power shots as your forcing them to stay in your domain.

Onaraka: So can I hold my opponent in air?

Andrea: Well only if you can learn to control all the breezes in the air, then once you've mastered that then you can control the wind as you please and not just make it from your body only.

Onaraka: How do I master wind control?

Andrea: You have sit and listen and understand the way the wind blows, connect your mind and spirit with the wind itself , treat it as if it's apart of the wind you generate from within.

{As it shows Onaraka sitting in the bamboo forest, listening intently to the wind blowing through the trees absorbing her surroundings}

Onaraka: [I can hear each and every breeze flowing, I can feel it touching my skin I can feel it flowing through my nose and lungs and it entering my bloodstream... The flow of wind and the rhythm of my heart beat have become one...] (as it shows her body glowing as the pink aura blends into the air)

{Onaraka breathes in and holds it}

Onaraka: And out!! (As she breathes out a whole gust follows it) I'm ready!! (As her eyes now start sparking dark pink)

{It cuts to Onaraka seeing Andrea again}

Andrea: Did you connect to the wind?

Onaraka: I have become one with it.

Andrea: Then let's fight one last time... (as she takes her stance) Absorb everything I'm going to do show you, remember it down to your bones as this is my final lesson to you... (she releases a giant dark pink aura)

Onaraka: I will mom!! (As she takes her stance and matches Andrea's aura)

{Andrea takes the first move}

Andrea: Breeze Fist!! (As she punches the air but the punch carried all the way to Onaraka)

Onaraka: Wow!! (As the punch appeared out of nowhere) [I see , so the wind carried the force of the punch... Noted.] (As she puts up her guard with one eye looking through the guard observing)

Andrea: Swift step!! (As she vanishes into the wind and appears right in front of Onaraka)

{Andrea slips Onaraka's legs and uppercuts her into the air}

Andrea: Gale storm!! (As she repeatedly strikes with full body blows from unconventional angles)

{Andrea is putting on a perfect show of technique and experience as this shows all her lifetime's training for this moment}

Onaraka: [Mom really has made this strategy her own, I have to remember every single attack , let her blows be imprinted into my mind.] (As each of the blows is absorbed into her memory)

{Onaraka's eyes spark dark pink as she stares through the guard}

Andrea: Well... That's everything I have, I hope you've absorbed it. Because... (as her breath turns ragged and the light dwindles in her eyes) That was all I had left in the tank.

Onaraka: I'll show you everything you've poured into me. Here I go!! (As her eyes fully turn dark pink and her air turns bright pink) Air Fist!! (As she launches it a giant gale wind in the form of a fist followed)

{This one punch knocked Andrea back}

Onaraka: First Step!! (As she vanishes into the wind and appears in Andrea's face) Eagle storm Requiem!! (As she delivers her fast compact punches then finishes with her flying left knee into a 360° roundhouse kick that knocks Andrea into the air) Gale storm Requiem!! (As she strikes even faster from angles Andrea can't see)

{But on the final blow she feints high but swipes Andrea's legs sending her to the floor}

Andrea: I'm so proud! You took my moves and made them your own. You really have... Become the final Mistress of the Wind! (As she gets up and bows her head to Onaraka)

Onaraka: Thank you mom, I learnt from the best.

{As they hug}

Andrea: This is the hardest part...

Onaraka: What do you mean?

Andrea: Since I've taught you everything I know... My time is finally up...

Onaraka: No I can't lose you not again! I just got you back!! (As her eyes become teary)

Andrea: Don't worry my spirit is infusing with yours, I'll be guiding you from the great beyond.

Onaraka: How do I explain this to Sendou and Kimura?!

Andrea: Just tell them I said I loved them, that I believe that they'll do amazing things in this world, I know they will be the ones to take down Bill and end all this suffering. (As she says this her spirit starts fading turning light pink)

Onaraka: I will tell them...

Andrea: (as she grabs Onaraka's face) I am so proud of you my baby chick, promise me you'll be yourself and never change for anyone, and promise me you'll take care of your little brothers.

Onaraka: (holds her hands) I promise on my life... I will protect them!!

{As she makes this promise Andrea's spirit infuses into Onaraka}

{Then Onaraka awakes back in the real world}

Onaraka: I'm back...

Kimura: Yo Onaraka your finally done. Now we can spar!!

Onaraka: Not right now lil cub we'll do that in the morning. But I do have something to tell you.

Kimura: What?

Onaraka: It's a message from mom. (As she gets close and whispers it to Kimura)

Kimura: I miss her so much... I just wish she saw the man I've become... (as she looks down at his sword)

Onaraka: Well she's seeing it now from my eyes, so don't worry, as long as I'm still here mom will see your biggest moments too (as they hug)

It cuts to dark
