In the city of pillars where the mission the young assassins from the City of Kagahara had gone to, Kazuma was being chased down by a huge drone. Kazuma was running and jumping on pillars while dodging the beams the drones had sent flying at him. The beams of the drone were causing massive explosion that took down the towering pillars around them. While Kazuma kept dodging for his life, he created two giant shurikens of energy and then threw them at the drone. The drone was able to intercept the two powerful shurikens of energy Kazuma had thrown at it before countering with much more powerful beams of its own, the clash of both attacks caused a massive explosion that took down and completely obliterated pillars. Kazuma clicked his tounge "Tch, the moment that thing came in, it immediately started attacking. It took out Mio with a simple blast, she's probably knocked out somewhere. As for Yuji, he tried to attack the drone, but instantly got blasted into the air and crashed into a pillars somewhere. Now I'm the only one left fighting for his life.". The drone came flying down at Kazuma at top speed, Kazuma activated his spirit mark(Double triangle with two dots), Kazuma started to run as fast as possible while the drone targeted him and started firing more powerful beams at him. Kazuma was dodging and flipping as fast as possible while the beams he dodged continuesly were incinerating everything around them. Kazuma created a short sword of energy and was using it to defend himself by cutting through the beam, Kazuma was dodging and weaving as skillfully as possible, each beam shot at him was capable of almost killing him. As he kept on dodging as fast and as skillfull as he body could move, he thought to himself "Dammit! I can't be the only one facing this thing by myself, it's too damn relentless.",Kazuma just smirked "Oh well, guess I've got to flip the switch a bit.". The drone charged up a powerful beam of energy and then shot it at Kazuma, the boy stretched out his left arm to block and his right arm to cover his face, but unfortunately for him, he couldn't amplify his left arm with energy fast enough to block the beam from doing damage. The beam blasted Kazuma on the palm, Kazuma's arm just by blocking it was able to cause the beam to split apart into different rays and incinerat a large number of pillars around the area. Kazuma's palm was seared, his face had a look of shock, but then, he smirked deviously "Hah!". Kazuma created giant projectiles of energy "HAH! ALRIGHT THEN, LET'S GO!", he exclaimed with excitement. The projectiles of energy he created, started to fling themselves at the drone, the drone scanned the incoming attacks and knew what to do. It started to fly around the air and dodge all the projectiles Kazuma had shot at it, while doing so, it's scanner targeted Kazuma [TARGET LOCKED]. As Kazuma's giant constructs were causing huge explosions around the air and obliterating pillars around them in powerful explosions of energy, Kazuma thought to himself as he looked at his palm with a smirk on his face. He noticed that the a chunk of flesh from his palm had burned off, and he was seeing the bone of the arm. Kazuma clicked his tounge with a twisted smile on his face "This thing has done it now!", the drone targeted the boy who seemed to be off guard and then fired a powerful and very concentrated beam of energy at him. Kazuma turned with an unhinged smile on his face, he created a sword of energy and then sliced the beam in half "Well damn! Now I'm pissed!", he muttered. The drone extended more beam launchers out of its wings and started blasting them at Kazuma, Kazuma rushed in with a very unhinged smile on his face and started to summersault and weave all the beams shot at him. While doing so, Kazuma jumped in air and stretched his palm out "Spiritual Explosion.", he called out the name of his attack, a beam of purple energy shot itself out of his palm and straight towards the drone. The drone immediately shot out powerful energy beams with every cannon it had, it's beams clashed with that of Kazuma's in a devastating clash of energy. Kazuma was still smirking, but he seemed to be struggling "GAH! GHHHHH! YUJIIIIIIII!", he let out a scream of rage. Suddenly a blue flash of energy shot out of the crator of a pillar, it was Yuji. Yuji immediately zoomed in, almost at the speed of lightning, he appeared behind the drone with cold murderous eyes and then started releasing slashes of blue energy with the help of his daggers. The drone had no way of fighting back at the moment, so it pointed one of its cannons back at Yuji and charged up a beam at him. As it was preparing to shoot him, Kazuma created a gun out of his purple energy with the help of his right hand and then shot it at the cannon that wanted to shoot Yuji dead. After doing so, Mio appeared from above, her red energy was flaring, her eyes were gleaming red, and her hair was floating with rage. She palmed her two fists together, and with a terrifying monster like roar "RAAAAAAAH!", she slammed the drone straight to the ground, debries were sent flying due to its crash land. Mio flew in downwards again, she created two huge balls of lava on her arms and started slamming them on the drone, it slam caused a powerful explosion of thick red flames. Kazuma called out to her from above "MIO, MOVE!", Kazuma was in air preparing his purple flames attack on his hands. Mio jumped out of the way for Kazuma, Kazuma had a devious smirk on his face as he called out "Go, hell's purple flames.". The purple flames on his arm surged with power, launched straight at the drone and then obliterated it with a terrifying outburst of flames. Kazuma was laughing manically as his purple flames were laying waste to the drone that had attacked him and his team, now covered with a huge burst of flames. After the flames had died down, Yuji walked up to the drone that still seemed to be holding up it's shape despite being horribly burned up from Kazuma's attack. Yuji noticed the camera from the drone was going haywire, so he immediately stumped on its and destroyed it. Kazuma landed back to the ground, while Yuji started to calm down "Tch! This thing almost killed us.", he said with an annoyed look on his face. Kazuma walked up to the battered drone "Whatever, at least we're alive.", he turned to Mio "Right, Mio?", Mio was layed on the ground "Riiight!", she said lazily with her thumbs up before her hand dropped down. Kazuma then muttered "I wonder how the rest are doing.", Yuji replied "They most definitely need help. We should go look for em.", Kazuma replied "Good Idea.", he went to pick Mio up before he and Yuji took off.
