Chapter 27:

Magic Style: Power Booster

Ane And His Seames


The boosted Ane eyed Rob; wind blowing across the battlefield. "So any proper explanations?" Ane asked as he turned to Mandy.

"About what?" the girl inquired.

"This ability of yours." Ane replied.

"Oh. My Power Booster or Power Enhancement increases your abilities by 1 stage of power." Mandy explained.

"By...1...stage of power." Ane mumbled; blinking conspicuously. Mandy nodded.

"One of your abilities seems to increase your strength by 100% per stage so thus, when you do it X2 it'll be by 200% but now it'll be by 300% instead." Mandy remarked.

"Is that so?" Ane remarked turning to Rob. "Let's end this then, Rob!" Ane yelled; grinning and clenching his fists in front of him.

"About time. All this standing about was getting boring." Rob remarked; cracking his neck.

"Speed Adjustment X2. Strength Adjustment X2." Ane thought. "Let's test this out." he said clasping his hands together and cracking his knuckles. His normal elemental energy blasted over him; Mandy's purple aura intertwined into it. Electricity blasted around Rob and he and Ane shot at one another. Their fists connected causing an insane wind to blow across the roof. 

"What...is this?" Lisa inquired as she nearly got blown off the roof. Ane grinned as Rob's hand cracked under the pressure of the collision. Ane then spun and kicked the robot back but Rob stopped himself with his hands; one shattering apart in the process. Ane casually landed and Rob frowned. "This is the end!" Ane yelled as he seemed to flash all about the area continuously. Rob's eyes shifted along with Ane's movements and after a while Ane seemed to completely vanish.

"Huh?" Rob asked. Ane stood behind him with a deadly look and by the time Rob turned Ane kicked him down.

"Ground Pound!" Ane shouted punching Rob who was on the ground; shattering the roof along with Rob. Ane stood upright and exhaled to then eye his hands.

"You did it!" the two girls yelled; smiling.

"This power...it would be amazing if I had this on my team." Ane remarked; eyes shielded. "Hey Mandy." he said.

"What's up?" the girl inquired.

"Would you become my Seame?" Ane asked; clenching his fist as he turned. Mandy blushed and Lisa pouted to then pull Ane's cheek. 

"I met you first you jerk!" she yelled folding her arms. Ane turned to her; Mandy's aura still revolving around him and he grinned.

"I'll make you both mine." he said making Lisa blush. Elemental energy spat from the hole in the roof and Ane grabbed Lisa and jumped to Mandy.

"What's going on?" Lisa asked; turning to the hole.

"I'm guessing Rob's still alive and kicking." Mandy responded.

"That just means more fun for me!" Ane yelled with a grin. Rob rose from the hole; yellow aura surrounding him. It then subsided to reveal his sharp, golden hair which stretched to the back, full red eyes, sharp fangs and metal upper half.

"You're quite the charmer with the ladies, Ane." Rob remarked in a deep voice. Ane grinned and Rob appeared next to him; landing a punch in the boy's gut. Electricity thrusted Ane into the air and blood spat from the boy's mouth. Lisa fired a kick at Rob who simply held the girl's foot and swung her aside. Mandy was about to help Lisa but Rob sliced at her with his hand which morphed into a blade. Ane appeared and countered with his weapons. 

"Dragon Claws." the boy growled.

"Taser." Rob responded calmly as his hand shot away and blue electricity shot from his arm; electrocuting Ane. The robot then kicked the teen away who immediately weakly stood to see a strand of Rob's hair enlarge and pierce him. Ane puked out blood.

"This is bad. I can't even get a solid blow despite my power enhancement." he thought; watching about to see large strands of Rob's electric hair.

"This is the end for you." Rob remarked smirking.

"A-Ane." Lisa thought; weakly watching.

Ane fell from a portal and landed next to Mandy. The robot's attack zapped the other side of the roof. "What's going on here?" Ane thought.

"It's okay." Mandy said from behind the boy to then step forward quickly and pick up the shuriken from earlier which she used to pierce Ane's hand.

"What was that for!?" Ane yelled; holding his hand. He then realized he could shift again and clenched his fist. 

"The pain distracted your brain from the paralysis." Mandy explained.

"Thanks." Ane said as he stood; exhaling slowly to then quickly grab the girl and dive into the air as electricity spat where they were. Ane then landed on the side of the roof where he laid Mandy down. Lisa limped to them and then they all glared at Rob.

"What is it? What's wrong? Is that all you all had after all?!" Rob teased smirking; his hair whipping the floor like a living creature. Ane did a groping action with his hand; cracking it.

"How will we get out of this." he thought; frowning. He then remembered Mandy's explanation of her and his powers. "If 1 is 100 normally and 200 when she boosts me then me using X3 should be equal to 400% of my speed." Ane thought; holding his chin.

"Ok then. No more standing by." Rob growled as his hair shot forward.

"Forcefield!" Mandy yelled causing her forcefield to protect her and the others but the hair shattered to shield. Ane spun from the hair and Lisa grabbed Mandy before jumping into the air.

"This is my chance." Ane thought to be pierced by a strand of hair which swept him onto the floor.

"Ane!" Lisa and Mandy screamed before running to the boy to be stopped by Rob who walked into their path. He smirked as his hands turned into blades engulfed in electricity. He placed them together and a ball of electricity formed. "Laser Blast!" he yelled as a red beam of electricity spat from the ball at the girls.

"My forcefield won't be able to withstand it!" Mandy shouted.

"Shit!" Lisa thought with a frown. The blast caused electricity to surge through the exterior of the school; shattering the windows.

The girls stared in horror as Ane stood in front of them; blood spilling from his mouth. "You girls....okay?" he asked as he continued to cough up blood as he stumbled forward. His back was steaming and bare as it had took the direct hit of the attack.

"Don't worry about us! YOU got blasted!" Lisa yelled; running to the boy.

"What an idiot." Rob remarked; laughing. "Human emotions is just a weakness in battles." he continued as his claws grew to then spit at Ane; stabbing the teen and barely missing Lisa.

"Ane!" the girls exclaimed. Ane replied with gibberish.

"Huh?" Mandy inquired.

"I understood him but he just spoke so incredibly fast." Lisa said. Ane stood upright and pulled the claws out to then crush them angrily. His normal aura blasted from him; Mandy's power still spitting from it but this time like lightning. Mandy winced in pain.

"What is this strain on my power?" she thought while watching Ane who had turned to Rob. Ane easily countered the approaching hair strand with his elemental weapon; frowning.

"It seems you increased your speed and strength again! Is that all you can do?" Rob inquired mockingly as one of his eyes looked smaller than the other. "Being the same speed as me now won't guarantee the fact you'll dodge my attacks." he continued.

"Shut up!" Ane shouted; eyes shielded.

"Oh?" Rob asked; looking pissed. "Now don't you get arrogant on me!" he yelled as his hair sat at Ane continuously who slashed at them all; countering all the attacks. Electricity spat from each hair causing a giant lightning bolt to strike down on Ane who seemed to vanish along with the girls and then reappear in midair with them in hand. 

"Your school will be...!" Lisa began as Rob's attack approached the building.

"Barrier X10!" Mandy screamed causing a giant barrier covered the school. The lightning seemed to bounce off into the air. Mandy's body thumped and she puked and snorted blood.

"Magic girl!" Lisa yelled as she held Mandy.

"Man-dy." Mandy replied weakly.

"What's wrong Mandy?" Ane asked as he looked at her.

"Out...of elemental energy. My...ability won't...last too long...again." Mandy explained through intervals of breath before blacking out. Eina flung onto the roof.

"What's going on here!" she yelled before her eyes fell onto Ane. "Ane?" she inquired.

"No time to explain. Do you have any healing abilities?" Ane asked as he appeared next to her and slashed away the electricity Rob shot.

"Is that you Rob?" Eina asked; staring.

"I said I'll explain later." Ane interrupted.

"Right." Eina said nodding. "I do have healing abilities. Not too good though." she continued.

"It's fine. Help her out." Ane commanded as he placed Mandy down.

"I simply have to delay this fight until Mandy's powers run out and it's history from then." Rob thought; smiling slightly.

"I have to defeat him quickly but how?" Ane whispered with a frown as he turned to the robot.
