The golden inferno faded away, revealing to all the now-scorched form of Serraph.
As Ahana - Eternity’s partner - backed out, the fairy’s wings took on their widest spread. Now’s her chance! A resounding buzz, and a curtain of leaf-green bullets sliced through the air towards the downed Arrancar. Sasuke reacted quickly however, sending a volley of fireballs. Deep orange clashing with green, the quelled flames left only a warm breeze blowing on every fighter’s skin.
After the brief skirmish, the ninja suddenly dashed past his partner, also sending himself toward the butterfly-winged sprite. Simple yet effective, the message was clear.
The target has changed.
To Eternity, this was surprising. Her reaction was to take flight and spray another wave of green, glowing scales at her new opponent. Not wanting to repeat his last mistake, the shinobi swerved leftwards. He then leapt off the ground, narrowly grabbing the airborne girl by her feet. Gravity, inevitably, pulled them down, but not before the boy swung down his arm, smashing the fairy backwards onto the arena floor. As a great pain seized Eternity’s body, Sasuke chose to retreat with a few hops or so.
Tch. He’s smart, she thought as her shocked body struggled to stand. Sasuke knew he had to keep her grounded; that was the problem of his partner. Plus, she had just realized: every time she makes a move against him, he always seems to have a response ready. It’s as if he can “see through” her actions. Whether it was mind-reading, experience, or sheer speed, it wasn’t terrible. It did, however, make her job harder.
Just nearby, the shattering of iron could be heard.
Oddly enough, there was a pause in their fight. As she recollected herself, Eternity’s mind was forming a vague plan. Sasuke, however, had waited long enough. He took the initiative, closing in the distance between them. She was forced to shoot yet another volley of scales. This time, most of them landed, the pulsing energy making hard blows on the ninja’s body. Huh? That was... easy-
The shinobi puffed into clouds, revealing a log. It was a trick! Before she knew it, a sharp blow from behind sent her flying towards the edge of the arena.
The fairy came dangerously close to falling off, flapping her wings to save herself. Right then, she recalled something. Acting quickly, she took the chance to summon an unsuspecting paper. Everyone else was already showing their way of fighting. Now it’s time to show hers. As the card seemingly vanished into air, the name of the spell remained undeclared. A breach of the spell card rules. But did it really matter? In this place, there were no rules to play by.
Only pure, unadulterated warfare.
Her small, childish frame surged with magical energy, immediately concerning Sasuke. Her plan was coming into fruition. One last barrage escaped the butterfly’s wings, which the ninja dodged as expected. Using the diversion, her stamina was devoted to rushing towards the other two.
A golden spear zipped past Eternity, its sheer weight lodging itself into the ground. She was coming very close to Serraph, who seemed to be preparing an attack of his own. The shinobi appeared in front, intercepting her approach. He couldn’t risk losing his partner, after all. The fairy was observing, it seems that Sasuke was getting ready for a counter-strike. His hands were moving into strange forms, just like when he shot out those fireballs. Meaning, he was expecting her to stop and confront him. Though if she wasn’t pushing herself so hard right now, she would be smiling.
Because that meant he was playing into her hands.
Even though the fairy could not save her partner from the Arrancar’s attack, she still went through with her plan. Deciding to take a page from the shinobi’s book, with a beat of her wings, the butterfly fairy let her momentum clear herself from the obstacle. This left only Serraph in her sight. Firing from her two wings were six scales, but they were not like the ones from before. They were filled with tremendous energy, each one meant to focus on one enemy, then blow up into many bullets one-by-one. The sole intent, of course, was to cause chaos to subdue the enemy. This was an idea perhaps only the butterfly fairy, of all other fairies, understood. One could call it an art.
The art of suppressing fire.
