Mate Kata

[Dawnika Snow]

Alexus’s eyes widen as she watches Kopaka allow himself to get consumed by the enormous children’s entertainer. He had told her not to die and then rushed into the beast shark-like maw like he was taking a stroll through the park. It was only until Pennywise tore at Its own throat to remove the frozen choking hazard that she had realized his plan. When she saw Kopaka fly from the beast’s flesh, her fire was already prepared to its maximum potential. With as much force as she could muster, she hurled the flame into the open hole of Its throat, setting Its insides ablaze. It howled in pain as Alexus raced to check on her temporarily downed ally.

“That was metal as fuck, dude.” Was all she could muster, dumbfoundedly. “You’ve got some mechanical balls, I’ll give you that. Yet, still the clown lives and we’re not dead. Let’s set some shit on fire.”

Kopaka merely offered a receptive nod as he took her hand and pulled himself back up. When the two had turned to confront the towering terror, all they were greeted with was the size 4000 sole of shoe above their heads. Alexus just grinned from ear to ear while Kopaka retreated. The giant food smashed on top of her, much to her masochistic enjoyment. The pain made her feel alive, but even though she felt it, the pain was still very dull.

Kopaka watched his ally get steamrolled, but after what he just did, calling her stupid might be a kick in his own rear end for jumping into Its throat. Though, the toa could have sworn he noticed something different about Alexus as the huge piece of rubber just flattened her. When the clown finally lifted his foot, Alexus was seen still standing covered in luminous white flames. There was a stagger in her voice as she called out to the demon before her.

“I am impenetrable! Your stupid shoes aren’t going to flatten me so easily!” Kopaka could see that, even still, that attack had certainly hurt. Alexus was hunched over and speaking with a few skips in her voice. “Come down here and fight me like a fucking man! Or, whatever the fuck you are!”

On que, the clown began to shrink. Its power-up seemingly finished. Once back to normal size, It stamped around in childish anger, squealing Its complaint like a child who had just had their toy taken from them.

“No! No! No! I wasn’t done having fun yet! Give it back to me!” It screamed loudly enough for everyone to hear.

“No second chances!” Alexus yelled out as she charged the enemy with her enhanced speed. The bright-white, luminescent flames blinded Pennywise as they approached. It thought it could see the fire wrapping around her arms, like before. Bracing for a projectile attack, It was ready to dodge. However, Alexus wasn’t shooting anymore projectiles, she was charging - With her fists.

The white blur of heat descended upon the bounty-given clown with a searing power, like that of a raging forest fire. It ate away at her arms, like the burning life fled from the trees as it was torched by flames. Pennywise dodged the first few hits, but sooner or later, It was going to feel the fire of Alexus’s fists. Granted they didn’t sting nearly as bad as Erika’s or Dawn’s, but they still hurt. Pennywise’s anguish was made extremely audible, but that only made Alexus’s heart beat even faster and harder.

The clown was not amused anymore. It was ready to get a little more serious, or at least that’s how it seemed to the white-haired vixen. Its claws tore through her punches, barely cutting her with every slash, but Alexus didn’t even try to dodge. The damage and bleeding had begun to show on her face.

“Agh! Dammit! My face!” She spit blood as she screamed in a barely hearable decibel. “You’re gonna pay, bastard!”

Kopaka split them up, jumping in between their fight. His sword slashed at Pennywise, who was just able to slip out of the blade’s frozen grasp. The mechanical continued his assault, slashing perfectly for his style. Pennywise’s horrific maw detached and sunk into the stalwart biomech’s shoulder, tearing through the metal as Its teeth clamped down. While the clown felt great about getting a good hit on Its enemy, before getting another fist full of blaze-laden knuckles directly into his nose. Its teeth went further into Kopaka’s body, spearing his body.

“I’m going to turn you into ash!” The enraged girl screamed, ignoring the safety of her own ally. Her fists burned heavily, and fire surrounded her body. Its mouth let go of the toa and It began to back up trying to prepare for any barrage of hits. Her hand glows with a black flame. “It’s time to die!!”

Three seconds later, a beam of black energy launched at Pennywise tearing through the contrast of Nexus to it’s target.
