Ane's New Power

Ene fell to the ground; wheezing and trembling. "Ene?!" Lisa yelled; running to him.

"Oh; Lisa. Good to see you." Ene said as he tried to stand but fell back; eyes rolling up. Lisa caught Ene and eyed him quizzically. 

"You okay?" she asked.

"Y-yeah." Ene whispered; wincing in pain. The two's bodies thumped as they sensed tremendous elemental energy.

"That's the dragon's..." Lisa began.

"Yeah." Ene said; nodding.

Ane stood up; elemental energy flowing from him; the several replicas staring at him. "I can't replicate that elemental energy or form. Remarkable." PM remarked. Ane smiled and walked forward.

"I'll handle this." he said.

"Okay." Lana said; smiling and nodding. Eina said nothing. Ane smirked at the replicas and three of them rushed him; firing their blades. Ane vanished and reappeared behind them all with two clones besides him. The replicas who rushed him fell to the ground; blood spraying from them and then several other replicas vanished into elemental energy all around the area.

"So I was right." Eina stated. Ane and his replicas eyed the girl. "Before when Lana and I were fighting these damned replicas we defeated a couple. Every time we did a chain reaction was caused and several others dispersed." Eina explained.

"Soo?" Ane asked.

"Some of them are clones of each other. So taking out one will cause its clone to go away which will cause it's clones' clones to disperse and so on." Eina clarified. Ane rose his eyebrow in intrigue.

"So if you take out the original...you take them all out." Lana added; smiling. Ane remembered the dragon saying it could tell the difference between between clones and original elementals and he smirked.

"I wonder." he whispered; looking around at the replicas. Ane exhaled and went on all threes. "I'll be taking your attacks drag." he remarked; grinning before entering dragon hunt.

"His elemental energy...intensified?" Lana inquired; staring.

"So this is what this ability is." Ane stated; smirking. "It's like an advanced version of Mandy's technique except with this...insane bloodlust." he continued before flashing through several replicas; slicing them apart. Ane then flashed aside countlessly to then land on the roof on threes; his hunting hand drippling with blood and his eyes crazed. Ane held his face with his bloody hand. "I can't last as long as the dragon in this form." he thought; coughing blood to then watch the replicas who frowned at him. Ane observed their elemental energies silently and laughed. "This is like those tell the difference puzzles." he remarked before letting himself fall into the replicas below. The replicas pounced and Ane left his hunting form and spun; summoning his dragon claws. Multiple replicas got sliced apart instantaneously but the remainder overpowered him; barraging him with slashes. "That's too bad." Ane called from the open wall. The replicas frowned and eyed Ane who was swinging a clone which held the dragon claws in it's hands. The two Anes' eyes gleamed and their teeth shone as Ane swung his clone at the replicas who tried to retaliate but were too slow to react. A replica got sliced in half and shock filled it's face and Both Anes bounced on the fleshy wall to then fling at the replica; slicing it apart even further. "Double Dragon Kill." they hissed as they landed. The clone vanished and Ane wiped his face as all the replicas began to vanish.

"Y-you...did it!" Lana yelled; jumping up excitedly. Ane shook his head and a replica landed.

"So you saved me for last? This just proves how truly amazing your eyes are!" PM yelled; drool flying from his mouth. Ane eyed the replica.

"Shut it!" Ane exclaimed; punching PM through the wall.

Ene and Lisa eyed a wall as Ane's replica spun out from it. The two jumped back; Ene tripping onto his butt. PM rolled to his feet and Ane walked into the room on all fours; eyes glowing ominously. Lisa and Ene stared frightfully at him. "A-Ane?" Lisa inquired. Ane grinned.

"So you two finished off your mirror images as well. Good." he said; standing upright and cracking his neck.

"You can control that form now?!" Ene exclaimed.

"Just getting used to it." Ane replied casually before flashing to PM and kneeing his opponent before uppercutting the replica. Ane then appeared above PM and smashed his leg into the replica; slamming him into the floor which sent a shockwave through the structure; bursting the pulsating veins. The other teens ran from the room.

"This place is giving in." Eina remarked. Ane nodded.

"Ane..." PM groaned weakly; drawing Ane's attention to him again. "I will have your body...someday." the villain whispered; grinning and chuckling. Ane punched open the wall to the outside world and his friends flew out.

"Sorry but...I don't think that's gonna happen." he remarked before flying out to then see the entire structure vanish into elemental energy. Ane's eyes then enlargede as he sensed MM's elemental energy. Anger filled Ane's face and he pierced through the air and into the forest.

"He's faster than me now." Lisa thought; gulping.

MM jumped back and then up into the air to avoid Faith's gold. "Are you gonna dodge all day?" Faith complained. Her eyes then enlarged and Linx opened his eyes as Ane landed on all fours; claws and talons digging into the ground.

"YOU!" he growled at MM.

"Hmph...thought you died on me there for a second." MM teased; laughing. Ane clenched the ground and shot at MM in an instant and fired a claw filled hand at the masked figure who easily ducked.

"What!?" Ane thought in shock.

"To think you've just unlocked this stage! Pathetic!" MM yelled jumping up and slamming his knee into Ane's chin. Ane flipped up and spun back; firing a punch which MM slapped away. MM grew claws and talons and laughed. He slashed at Ane who dodged and hopped to a tree. MM groaned and quickly teleported away to avoid gold that splashed at him. 

"Damn it." Faith said. Ane shot deeper into the forest.

"What...an...idiot." Linx said; struggling to get up.

Ane dove at MM as the figure teleported in and smacked his hand into the man's mask. MM vanished into elemental energy and a tree lunged at Ane who smashed t with his fist. MM appeared before Ane; dragon eyes glowing viciously. "I didn't come here to fight again....not yet." MM stated; launching a punch similar to the Straight Forward Punch into Ane's stomach. "Final Punch!" MM exclaimed as Ane blasted through trees; blood spraying from his jaw. His eyes rolled up and he crashed into a huge boulder which split. Linx and Faith appeared next to him out of a liquid gold ball.

"Ane!" Faith yelled; running to the boy.

"I'm done here." MM whispered as he vanished. He eyed Eina and Lana who stared with terror and chuckled before teleporting away. Lana gulped. Ane dizzily eyed everyone surrounding him worriedly.

"Even with this new power...I lost. I lost to him..." he thought before completely passing out.
