Kasumi quickly raises her right arm above her head.
*ZAP ZRRAAARRRRR*
And a purple thunder suddenly strikes her out of nowhere from above. The purple lightning strike was so massive that it caught every single black feather around her and stopped their movements in the air. All of the black feathers are now engulfed by purple lightning individually.
Kasumi lowers her right hand and clenches her fist.
“Eat your own feathers!”
*WUSH*
*ZRAAAAAAAAARRRRR*
Kasumi punches her right fist forward and sends the hundreds of black feathers to launch themselves against their will towards ‘Hana’. The black feathers were all launched and moved at the speed of lightning.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
‘Hana’ screams loudly. She flaps both of her wings forward and sends a powerful air blast to repel her own black feathers.
“No, you don’t!”
*BWUUUUUUUSSSSSHHHHHH*
Kasumi controls all of the black feathers to resist the air blast in the air.
*GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
“HHRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!”
After a few seconds, the air blast disperses, and all of the black feathers were still floating firm in the air, still engulfed by her purple lightning.
*ZAP ZRRRRSSSSSS*
Kasumi moves all of the black feathers to storm ‘Hana’. ‘Hana’ folds her two black wings to defend against the electrified feathers.
*!*
But she soon realizes that none of the black feathers are actually hitting her. She opened her two black wings and saw that all of the electrified black feathers were moving at lightning speed, surrounding her entirely. They all formed a giant sphere trapping her on the inside.
“Just try letting out your red lightning discharge now! I’ll hold it back this time and make your attack pointless!”
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
*ZRRRRSSSSSSSS*
‘Hana’s’ entire body is engulfed by her red lighting, and it sparks violently.
*ZRRT ZRRT ZRRT*
“You really didn’t listen to anything I’ve said, huh?”
‘Hana’ lets out a massive red lightning discharge, but as Kasumi has said, she easily contained her lightning discharge within her purple lightning ‘cage’.
*ZAP ZRRRRTTTT*
Kasumi creates two of her katana-shaped lightning in her hands. She takes a stance, placing both of her ‘katanas’ backwards, to both sides of her waist, folds her right knee to 90 degrees, places her left foot backwards behind, and leans her entire torso down and forward.
“Kasumi style.”
*ZRRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR*
Her ‘katanas’ spark violently and let out lightning strikes in random directions. They also glow brightly in lilac purple. Her entire body also sparked the same purple lightning.
*BWOOOSSSHHH*
Kasumi launches herself forward at lightning speed towards ‘Hana’. When she reaches the purple lightning ‘cage’, she discards all of her purple lightning, engulfing the black feathers, causing the entire ‘cage’ to fall apart, leaving ‘Hana’ suddenly wide open.
*ZRAASH ZRAASSHH*
“X FLASH!!”
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”
‘Hana’ was slashed twice by Kasumi, leaving a big X wound across her torso. Kasumi went past her and slid off the floor for 10 meters. She eventually stops and turns around.
*!!!*
‘Hana’ is already in motion of throwing something. She was holding her red lightning lance and threw it right at Kasumi.
*ZRAAAARRRR*
The red lightning lance flies at lightning speed as well. Kasumi engulfs herself with her purple lighting to react to its speed. When the lance reaches her, she swiftly leans her body to the left, discards her ‘katanas’, and raises her right arm upwards.
*GRAB*
She grabs the red lightning lance at its center with her hand engulfed in her purple lightning,
*!*
*ZRRRRRRKKKKKSSSSSS*
The red lightning lance immediately sparks violently in her hand.
“HRRRGGGHHH!!!”
Kasumi intensifies her purple lightning in her hand to try to contain ‘Hana’s’ red lightning lance.
*ZRAAARRR ZAP ZRRRKKKSSS*
Kasumi engulfs the lance entirely in her purple lightning, and it no longer sparks wildly.
“GOT IT!!”
Kasumi immediately enters a stance to throw the lance back at ‘Hana’.
“RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
*BWOOOSSSSHHHH*

Kasumi exerts the muscles in her right arm to their maximum capacity, and the vein armor on her right hand glows brightly in purple. She throws the red lightning lance at ‘Hana’ with as much of her physical power as possible, and her throwing even creates a shockwave that vibrates through the entire room.
“KRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
‘Hana’ creates another red lightning lance in her right hand. She thrusts her new red lightning lance at the incoming red-purple lightning lance.
*ZRRRRRKKKKKSSSS*
The two lightning lances clash, and it causes a small rain of red thunderbolts across the entire room.
*ZRAARRR*
One of the small red thunderbolts zapped its way towards Luna, who was still lying unconscious on the floor.
*ZRRAAARRRR*
Kasumi quickly made her way towards Luna and deflected the small red thunderbolt backhandedly with her right hand, covered in her purple lightning.
“*Sigh* I made it in time.”
*BOOOOMMMMMM*
*BLAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
An explosion of red lightning discharge occurred as both of the lances exploded at the same time. The explosion swallowed the entire room with its electrical discharges everywhere.
*ZRAAARRRR*
Kasumi once again erected another purple protective electric barrier around her and Luna.
*ZZRRRRRRRRRSSSSSTTTTT*
“UUURRRGGHHH!!!”
Kasumi withstands the force of the explosion with her barrier. And after a rough 20 seconds, the red lightning explosion finally dispersed and completely disappeared into thin air.
*pant pant pant*
*Thud*
Kasumi discards her barrier and falls to her knees.
“(Not good. I only have 30 seconds left on my Second State. If I don’t win beforehand, I’ll lose!)”
Kasumi stands up once again. She walks 10 meters ahead of where Luna lay down.
‘Hana’ was lying on the floor for being so close to the center of the explosion. Her entire body looks beaten up, roughly, as well as burnt all over the place.
*SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Though black smoke quickly appeared on all of those wounds, her wounds are now closing on their own. She quickly stands up, and in only a few seconds, all of her wounds have fully healed.
“Whoever you are, my Second State is running out. I’m going to put everything I have into this one single attack. PREPARE YOURSELF AND FREE HANA-SAN FROM YOUR CLUTCHES!!”
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
‘Hana’ screams in anger, hearing Kasumi’s words. She feels challenged as if she would lose against her final attack.
*inhales exhales*
*inhales exhales*
*inhales exhales*
Kasumi takes a few deep breaths multiple times to try to calm herself down.
*ZAP ZRAAARRRR*
A purple lightning suddenly strikes her entire body out of nowhere from above, engulfing her body.
*inhales exhales*
*inhales exhales*
She continues to take a lot of deep breaths. She moves both of her hands to the front and opens her palms.
*ZRRRRRKKKSSSS ZRRRRRR*
All of Kasumi’s purple lightning quickly flows into the front of both of her open palms.
*ZRRAAARRRR*
And then a firm katana made out of purple lightning appeared in front of her. This time, its shape perfectly resembles a katana, unlike previously, for every time she summoned her katana-shaped lightning.
She grabs the lightning katana with both of her hands and puts it to the side of her left waist. And then she enters her Iai stance.
*ZRAAARRR*
Her katana shines brightly in purple, and this time, her katana doesn’t spark wildly or violently, given how dense her lightning is. Her katana is more stable than anything both of them have unleashed with their lightnings throughout this fight.
“Kasumi style!”
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
‘Hana’ lets out a really loud and violent roar that even Kasumi can feel that her throat was vibrating. She opens both of her hands and raises them above her head.
*ZRAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR*
Two massive red lightning strikes both of her open hands, and they form into two long red lances, each 2 meters in length.
*GRAHK*
*ZRAAARRR*
Kasumi takes a powerful step forward, and she is suddenly engulfed by her purple lightning. She jumps forward and moves at the speed of lightning once again, approaching ‘Hana’ really fast.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!”
Kasumi reaches ‘Hana’ in no time. She prepares to swing her Iai slash at her, while ‘Hana’ holds her two lances, aiming down and swings them down at Kasumi at the same time she reaches her.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM*
*ZRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR*
*BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR*
All of a sudden, another massive lightning explosion occurs, and it swallowed the entire room within. Luna was also caught by the explosion, but Kasumi had already erected a separate barrier secretly beforehand, completely protecting her from the explosion.
*ZRRSK ZRRKS ZRRKS ZRRKS*
The electrical explosion occurred for an entire 30 seconds before it started to dwindle and eventually dispersed.
*Sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
The entire room was smoking and emitted weak electricity flows occasionally. The floor, the walls, and the ceiling have become electrically charged even though they are not made from normal, earthly materials. This is due to the ‘angelic/demonic’ nature of whatever is possessing Hana right now.
. . . . .
Kasumi appeared behind ‘Hana’. Her dense lightning katana is still in her hand, while ‘Hana’s’ two long lances have disappeared from her hands.
*ZRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH*
After a few milliseconds, blood was flowing out of ‘Hana’s torso. She was slashed diagonally across her torso, but the slash was so fast, it took a second for the body to acknowledge that it had been cut and to let blood flow out.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
‘Hana’ immediately let out a harsh scream of pain.
*THUD*
She then falls face-first to the floor.
*!!*
Kasumi’s entire appearance suddenly breaks apart, her hair returns to its dark blue long hair, her metallic left arm disappears, and her clothing returns to her winter outfit. The five-minute timer is up, and Kasumi’s Second State has ended.
*THUD*
She suddenly also falls face-first to the floor.
*pant pant pant*
Kasumi is rightfully out of breath.
*pant pant pant*
Out of everybody inside this infinite maze, she is the one who exerts her physical strength and stamina the most.
*pant pant pant*
*Srrrt srrtt srrt*
She crawls on the floor with one hand and rotates herself towards Luna’s direction.
“(Luna-dono. . .)”
*pant pant pant*
She starts crawling towards Luna on the floor, crawling past ‘Hana’ lying on the floor.
“(Is she okay?)”
*srrt srrt srrt*
She approaches Luna slowly. Her physical body is in great distress from all the fights and injuries she suffers.
*Srrt srrt srrt*
She continues to crawl towards Luna, slowly but surely.
“(I am. . . so tired. . .)”
*srrrt srrrtt*
“(Hopefully, whatever is controlling Hana-san had enough. . .)”
*Srrt srrrt*
*pant pant*
After painfully and slowly crawling on the floor towards Luna, Kasumi finally reaches her.
“(Luna-dono. . .)”
“EEERRGGGHHH!!!”
She tried to get up by pushing against the floor with one hand. She exerts more of her physical strength, and it hurts her arm muscles greatly.
*pant pant pant*
She successfully sits on the floor. She glances over towards Luna’s entire body.
*SIGH*
“(She’s fine. . .)”
Kasumi lets out a massive sigh of relief, and it feels like a massive burden and worry on her shoulders has suddenly disappeared. She slides slowly towards the sky wall behind her, rotates herself on the floor, and leans her back against the wall.
*pant pant pant*
“I’m beat. . .”
. . . . .
“I wanted to say it’s finally over, but there’s still the Game Master left and all of his officers. . .”
*pant pant*
“Speaking of which, what happened to all the people that I might send to their deaths. . .”
*pant pant*
“Alright. I’ll take a few-minute break in the meantime. . .”
*pant pant*
“I’ll think about anything else afterwards. . .”
. . . . . .
Kasumi slowly closes her eyes.
. . .
She blinks a few times as she sees to the front.
*!!!!*
But before she finally closes her eyes to go to sleep, she sees ‘Hana’ standing up in the center of the room. Silently gazing at her without saying anything, with her two giant black wings spreading out on her back.
*GASP*
Kasumi silently gasped and felt scared upon seeing her standing up. Her sleepiness instantly disappeared, and her consciousness came back in full force.
*SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Her body was smoking black, and the big wound on her torso quickly healed up yet again.
“(ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SHE’S STILL NOT DOWN?! EVEN MY SECOND STATE IS NOT ENOUGH TO DEFEAT HER?)”
*step step*
‘Hana’ slowly walks, approaching her.
“UURRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!”
Kasumi activates her Vein armor once again. She forces herself to stand up even though every muscle in her body is screaming no at her.
“(DAMMIT!! IT’S NOT OVER YET!! WHAT CAN I EVEN DO AT THIS POINT?)”
Kasumi raises her right hand, but she struggles to do such a simple task. Her body is seriously at her limit right now, even with her Vein armor activated.
Kasumi summons her unsheathed katana once again in her right hand. She points her katana at ‘Hana’ once more. To ‘Hana’s’ eyes, she looks like someone who’s half dead, exerting her entire ounce of strength one last time before she finally drops dead.
*BWOOOOOOSSSHHHH*
‘Hana’ quickly flies and approaches Kasumi with her insane speed.
