Chapter 13:

Hiroshi Vs Kurumi Part-I : The Jester Tyrant

Blaze Borne


Kurumi: [excited] this is going to be Fun! 

Hiroshi: SCORCHING DOWNFALL!

Hiroshi jumps above, and extends his hands wide. Multiple Embers are created.

His daggers spin and the Embers are projected right at Kurumi.

Kurumi smirks, and releases an attack.

Kurumi: HALLUCINATING MOVEMENT!

Kurumi dashes left and right at such a high speed that it appears that he is almost at every point.

All the embers miss him.

Kurumi: MIMIC!

Kurumi extends his left arm forward towards Hiroshi and his eyes form a black and white spiral pattern that disappears in a few seconds.

Hiroshi is confused at what he saw.

Hiroshi: [confused] huh?! What's the matter?! Why are his moves passive and not hitting me?! What is he planning!?

Before he could finish his thoughts, Kurumi released another attack.

Kurumi: SCORCHING DOWNFALL!

Kurumi jumped and knives appeared in his hands. He created Embers, similar to the ones of Hiroshi. And released the wave of embers.

Kurumi copied Hiroshi's move. But Hiroshi couldn't copy Kurumi's. And all the embers hit him on point.

Hiroshi was badly injured by that attack.

Kurumi mocked him.

Kurumi: [mockingly] what's the matter? Did you finally get the taste of your own medicine?

Hiroshi is fallen on the ground. confused about how Kurumi could use Hiroshi's move.

Hiroshi: [confused, shocked] that's not possible... how can he use my move?!

Hiroshi groans, and releases another move.

Hiroshi: VOLCANIC IMPACT!

Hiroshi stomps. The chain of multiple volcanic craters is formed. 

Before the move is even halfway there, Kurumi's eyes again form that strange black and white spiral.

Kurumi: VOLCANIC IMPACT!

Kurumi stomps. He releases the chain of volcanic craters as same as Hiroshi does.

Both he attack collide, resulting in smoke all around them.

Hiroshi takes advantage of this smoke.

He uses his Lightning speed ability, that he got from the Ember at Antarctica.

He dashes at super speed in the smoke around Kurumi.

Kurumi can't see Hiroshi, but only sees his rapidly moving shadow of Hiroshi and a trail of lightning behind him.

Hiroshi: FLAMING SLASH 'N DASH!

Hiroshi suddenly changes his direction and dashes straight at Kurumi.

Kurumi: INVISIBLE FRAME!

Kurumi slightly extends his hands. An invisible wall is formed in front of Hiroshi and he slams into it before even reaching Kurumi.

The wall fades away in seconds.

Hiroshi thuds to ground.

While he is fallen, Kurumi attacks.

Kurumi: HAMMER HIT!

Kurumi lifts his arms upwards, a giant hammer comes in his hands.

He slams that hammer onto Hiroshi's chest, breaking his ribs.

Hiroshi gasps for air as two of his ribs break.

Kurumi: [mockingly laughs] The Flame Demi-God is a weakling! [Laughs even more]

Hiroshi gets hold of himself and tries to stand up. His hands shake as he tries to stand.

Kurumi: BOUNCY CASTLE!

Kurumi stomps. The entire area around him turns to stretchy and elastic rubber. 

He jumps on it as a child would jump on a bouncy castle. He is having fun while Hiroshi is still struggling, trying to stand up.

Hiroshi stands up. Gathering his might, he releases another attack.

Hiroshi: FIRE BLAST!

Hiroshi releases the X-Shaped blast wave.

Surprisingly, Kurumi is unable to dodge it and it Hits him.

Kurumi instantly splits to 4 parts.

Hiroshi can't even believe what just happened.

Hiroshi: [shocked] what?! He is dead!? How do easily!?

A hard punch hits Hiroshi's back.

[Crack!]

Hiroshi's another rib is cracked.

He is thrown far away.

Kurumi: illusionary Surprise Punch. I got you so bad right there.

Hiroshi groans in immense pain as it gets hard for him to even breath properly.

Kurumi walks to Majuro while Hiroshi is collapsed on the ground.

Shinzo and Majuro stood together.

Shinzo stepped in the way. A stone in his hands.

He tried to strike on Kurumi's head using that stone, but Kurumi just kicked him and he was launched far away.

Kurumi stood right in front of Majuro. His right arm extended. Demanding the cube.

Kurumi: hand me that cube, Old man.

Majuro: [angry] over my dead body!

Kurumi smirked.

Kurumi: then so be it.

Kurumi charges his fist to punch.

Hiroshi, fallen to the ground, witnesses all that. He blinks.

As soon as he blinks and opens his eyes, he sees that Majuro's head is no longer there.

Kurumi had punched him so hard, that Majuro's head literally blasted off.

Kurumi's hands were covered in blood. He shook his hands to remove the blood.

Kurumi: [disgusted] filthy blood!

Kurumi then took the Yellow cube in hands, putting it inside of a pouch on his belt.

Hiroshi saw it all. His blood boiled from rage.

Forgetting his pain, he stood up.

His eyes gazed Majuro's dead body, his rage filled his mind.

His eyes glowed Red.

Tears rolled down his eyes. 

But before they could fall from his face, They Evaporated.

Hiroshi's hands radiated flames. But not the normal ones.

His flames, orange before, had turned to a mix of Orange and Blue. Intensifying with each passing second.

His eyes suddenly locked onto Kurumi, giving a serious stare.

Without even thinking, he launched at Kurumi.

Hiroshi didn't use his daggers. his fists were enough.

He blowed punches. Each one getting faster and faster.

Kurumi was left in shock at seeing this new form of Hiroshi.

Kurumi stopped Hiroshi's punches that were mainly aimed on his heart.

Kurumi: [In Mind, shocked] no way! How can he get so powerful in the blink of an eye! His flames have gotten hotter! His movements are faster! He is fighting like a BEAST!

As Hiroshi punched non-stop, his red Sugokyo Mark faded into a new Blue Colour. Representing his new Blue Flames.

Kurumi: [in mind] He is trying to attack near my heart! i need to get him away!

Kurumi managed to punch Hiroshi away, he didn't even flinch, nor even felt the pain.

Hiroshi: FLAMING SLASH 'N DASH!

Kurumi: FLAMING SLASH 'N DASH!

They both attack at each other. They dash. Kurumi leaving a orange fire trail and Hiroshi leaving a Blue and Orange mix flame trail.

Their slashes sync perfectly. Each slash colliding resulted in a beautiful spark of flames.

Hiroshi's slashes intensified. Kurumi dashed away to avoid getting hurt.

Kurumi: Blue Flames..?

A memory Hits him.


[FlashBack]


Kurumi is in the same meeting room, in front of the black screen. And his master in front of him.

???: Kurumi. You have to watch out. If that boy that you are going to face has Blue Flames, then retreat immediately. Rorark might kill you using his blue flames. And that too, easily.


[Back to the battle]


Kurumi glances at Hiroshi. Deeply observing his form.

Kurumi: [in mind] is he Rorark? The one Master told about? It can't be. Master can't be afraid of a brat this puny and weak.

Before Kurumi could even finish thinking, Hiroshi rushes at him, his daggers in his hand.

Hiroshi: ENGULFING FLAMES!

Hiroshi dashed as soon as he reached close to Kurumi and stabbed one of his daggers right at Kurumi's Heart.

Blood spewed out, sprinkling out of Kurumi's heart

Kurumi collapsed to ground, groaning in agony.

Kurumi: [weakly, groaning in pain] how... did you know... my weakness..?

Hiroshi replies, confident.

Hiroshi: a Tyrant always tries to protect his weaknesses. My punches were aimed at your entire body at every vital point. but you mainly protected your heart. so, it had to be your weakness.

Kurumi started laughing like a maniac.

Hiroshi: did you lose your senses when death arrived in front of you?

Kurumi's laughed even harder.

Kurumi: you moron! I don't care about my weaknesses!

Kurumi stands up, revealing the damaged part around his Heart.

inside, Hiroshi sees that another heart has formed. his flesh regenerates and covers it back again.

Kurumi: don't worry... this is not my real heart. I keep my Heart out if my body, surviving on an Artificial Heart. my actual heart is in the Third Ring. and you won't ever reach it. [laughs like a maniac]

Well, If you really are Rorark... then I will have to use my final form...
