Knitemare VS. Lotus Kenhiro! (Part 1)

(As time passes, Hinami was resting in Lotus's bed until she awakens and even put through three different healing mantras to stop her Anti God Curse from infecting her.)

"Lotus: ...She'll be fine for now. But her powers are truly gone, not a single ounce of it remains inside her system... She's as fragile as a normal human being."
"Daigo: No...!!! Master Lotus, there has to be something we can do...!"
"Lotus: All we can do is hope for the best and believe in those fighting right now."
"Daigo: ...Is that all we can do..? What about you?! The Legendary Lotus Kenhiro reduced to being a side character on the sidelines?! What happened to you, Lotus?! Why aren't you angry about this? Knitemare may have killed my sister!"
"Lotus: I am angry, dear boy. But I refuse to show it only to give those monsters the satisfaction of feeding their ego."
"Daigo: But why... Why won't you fight...?"
"Lotus: As my greatest friend once told me, "I cannot fight a battle I deem pointless to finish if each scenario leads to a boring result."
"Daigo: But Lotus, that's my grandfather's words... Why are you going by his words and not your own? Look at what you've created without him around, you're the top assassin in all of Japan! You went face to face with Lucifer and defeated him! You've been one of the most reliant allies of the Magachi Clan and now with our backs against the wall you have the audacity to turn around when we need you most..?!"

(Daigo would then slam his fist into the mahogany floor of the dojo before crying.)

"Daigo: This doesn't make sense Lotus... Make it make sense..! Is it something we did this recently...? Is it something we've done in the past..? What could we have done to make you not want to fight alongside us anymore?!"
"Lotus: ...You've all done absolutely nothing. I cannot fight, because along with my students, I have my daughter and wife to look after. I cannot risk losing them any further, Young Daigo. I've failed to be a protective father then, I will be a great father now."
"Zakai: ...But you were a great father back then..."

(Lotus and Daigo would notice Zakai overhearing their entire conversation as she walked into the main room of the dojo.)

"Zakai: I know it's difficult father, but you were always a great parent back then... I never mistook you for a bad father. Whenever mom and I were in trouble, you'd always.. Always come to our rescue. You're the only idol I ever needed, because you were my dad. I know it's difficult to let us go, but the world needs you. The world needs, Lotus Kenhiro..."

(As Lotus then stares back into the city and realizes an opening portal above Hakodate, he'd throw his Gi to the side and reveals his muscular body before opening the door of the dojo.)

"Lotus: I want you both to stay here and keep an eye on Hinami. If things get worst, contact the number in the desk of my office."

(With the slam of the door, Lotus then rushes down into the city, amidst the incoming destruction that will soon befall Hakodate entirely. With Lotus then eventually jumping from pillar to pillar, he would then jump high into the air, gliding like an actual raven in the skies at a high speed to the location. With Knitemare in search of his second element, he would then notice frightened civilians before raising his right hand at a crowd of frightened adults and children, ready to kill them at will.)

"Knitemare: I will be testing how worthwhile you humans are. Where can I find two heroes? Elemental Association's Noah and Saikan Academy's Chimon?"

(With the group all hesitant out of fear, a teenager then spoke up first.)

"Male Teenager #1: ...T-They're... n-not in.. Hakodate s-sir..."
"Knitemare: ...You lie. Therefore, you'll all die."

(With Knitemare's hand now charging Chaos Energy, his attack was then being blasted and before making contact, was dissolved by a kendo stick implanting into the ground but eventually eroding into ash for absorbing the attack instead.)

"Knitemare: ...Lotus Kenhiro."

(With Lotus soaring out of the skies and lands a successful flip in midair, landing onto his feet, he would then stare down Knitemare as his ripped remains of his upper Gi flows into the wind as he clenches his left fist tightly.)

"Lotus: You've got a lot of nerve returning to Earth, Knitemare."
"Knitemare: Quite odd don't you think? I don't remember fighting you physically, but I remember killing you... Makes no sense to me how you managed to stay alive, but that doesn't matter now. You're a mere obstacle that dares to get into my way."
"Lotus: I was killed by your clones, it was a mistake to let my guard down and is something I will never do again! You've thrown all of the multiverse into a never-ending nightmare and for that, I refuse to let you win!"
"Knitemare: Refuse? Hehehe, I'm afraid you're far too late, Kenhiro. Sawano did a fantastic job in raising such a valuable test subject, I have no use for his Unholy Inferno... But I'm in need of two things as I'm here on Earth and knowing you're a Hero, Lotus... You'll be just enough to drag them both out."
"Lotus: ...No one will intervene, for this very fight will drag on as long as I stand!"
"Knitemare: Cute. But futile."

(With the quick intent to attack, Lotus blasts a devastating backhand to the palm of Knitemare while charging a Chaos charged attack, creating a recoil into Knitemare's arm, leading into the power exploding off his right arm. With Knitemare immediately separating from Lotus, he'd immediately sense him from behind... But he was not there. As Knitemare then turns back around and finds Lotus to be gone, he would then suffer a destructive claw-like punch to the side of the head, blasting Knitemare's skidding body across the Hakodate Business Center and crashing through multiple buildings.)

"Lotus: There is no hope of victory for you, Knitemare! Surrender yourself for you cannot defeat me now!"

(With Knitemare then evaporating the buildings around him, he would then successfully regenerate his arm before Lotus immediately introduces Knitemare to a missile dropkick, once again launching Knitemare across the Business Center. Lotus would then flash step and grabs the helmet of Knitemare, implanting his head directly to the ground before delivering a destructive stomp into the open road, creating large craters for each stomp. Suddenly, Knitemare would then generate kinetic energy to release a force field to blast Lotus away from him for space. With Lotus landing onto his feet and in a defensive stance, Knitemare would appear face to face as the two then begins to battle hand to hand, many civilians beginning to evacuate the areas as both Lotus and Knitemare were both aggressive with one another in their attacks, Lotus however gaining more direct hits than before against Knitemare.)

"Knitemare: Suddenly, the alarms across the country of Japan would then sound, alerting the Japanese Hero Association of Knitemare's arrival...)

"P.A System: ATTENTION! This is not a test, the following Category is a Threat Level X, Knitemare has arrived to Earth! All Civilians, please evacuate immediately to the nearest Realm Teleportation Center!"

(With Knitemare's second phase of his plan now beginning and civilians were evacuating quickly, Earth's heroes were en route to the location.)

"Knitemare: It wasn't as late as I thought, everything begins to fall according to plan!"

(With Knitemare once again charging another Chaos charged attack, Lotus would kick Knitemare's right arm directly into the air with an extended kick, forcing the attack to once again misdirection as Knitemare then attempts to touch Lotus in order to erase him. With Lotus avoiding the attack, Lotus would then begin to deliver an onslaught of targeted attacks with more than 60% of his muscle being used, indenting his fists into Knitemare's body and creating multiple whiplashed recoils from every blow delivered. With one successful block, Knitemare would attempt to counter with Chaotic Energy as his main use of power but was too slow as Lotus delivers a thunderous headbutt onto the obsidian helmet of Knitemare, surprisingly rocketing Knitemare across the open streets and further apart than expected.)

"Knitemare (Thinking): This can't be happening... Lotus was far weaker before against me, why the hell can I not strike faster than him?!"

(With Knitemare relying on his speed, Lotus would once again strike faster, appearing above Knitemare and delivers a hammering fist from above, the very strength of Lotus's physical strength forcing the ground to crumble beneath the two, digging Knitemare deeper into the crater before he was then trapped by the very crater's cracked and crumbled grounds as Lotus then begins to deliver audible and thunderous bone crushing punches while Knitemare's own flesh was continuing to be indented by Lotus's bare fists. With Knitemare attempting countless tries to escape, Lotus's onslaught of torso directed attacks were cancelling his ability to activate his force field or any form of defense.)

"Knitemare (Thinking): I can't move... His strength is far beyond predictable and every single blow he delivers stops me from retaliating...! I'm not dying like this!"

(With Lotus's attacks showing no sign of mercy, Knitemare's left eye would begin to once again generate Chaos Energy, Lotus's instinctively separating as the concentrated laser beam blasts into a building behind Lotus, coating the entire building in orange with a loud whirring noise generating a devastating explosion as Lotus remained unaffected and did not care for the debris for his instinctively dodges any debris aiming for his head by only minimally moving. With Knitemare floating out of the crater, Lotus would've then discovered that his calmness within his soul is the component necessary to deal permanent damage onto Knitemare's body.)

"Lotus: ...As I stated, as long as I stand, I will not let you win! Your end is NOW, KNITEMARE!"
