Kumi vs Zeno

Before the battle begins, let’s see how things led up to this from Zeno’s point of view...

                                                                          …

Zeno awoke hogtied and gagged on a piece of wood floating in the sewers.

“What the hell!? I thought I was at a dinner. Now I’m in the sewers? Were those drinks spiked? Wait! Where is she!? Where’s- “

Before Zeno could complete his thought, he heard the sound of falling water. He looked toward the source to notice he was floating towards a gaping chasm.

“Oi Oi! This isn’t funny. Shit! What do I do? I can’t create a strong enough draft in this narrow sewer. Do I chance it when I fall? No, I’m too restrained to try it. Worst of all, if I try to free myself now, I might accidentally push myself underwater and make things worse. Shit!”

Just then, Zeno felt a rope wrap around him. He was then pulled into the water before being dragged up to a concrete platform.

“How pathetic. You’re supposed to be my bodyguard, yet I had to escape and rescue you,” a woman’s voice growled.

“Mmmmph!” Zeno said as he recognized the woman to be his boss and girlfriend.

“I got this nice suit wet jut to save your dumb ass. You’re lucky I was able to escape my restraints with ease,” she said as she freed Zeno.

“You were caught too? Then how is it my fault I got caught? If we were- “

“CONGRATULATIONS! You two are the first couple to be free! However, I won’t just let you leave that easily. I’m implementing a new rule that you must kill at least one other participant each to ensure your escape. You will then need to run out of the city on your own. Good luck,” Piazzo declared.

“*Tch* How’d that bastard even know what happened down here?” Zeno growled.

“That I don’t know. I assume its due to cameras and his power,” the woman theorized.

“We need to get out of here. Do you know the way?”

“Yes, I do. I was held up in the room above. When I freed myself, that bastard announced that I must “reign in my love, before he sails to Hades.” Naturally I figured it out. I then simply needed to use the rope to reel you in. Oh, your rifle was also with me. Don’t lose it again.”

The woman tossed a long green sniper rifle to Zeno as Zeno glared at her.

“Like I said, that masked- “

“Shut up and follow me!”

                                                                            …

As the two exited, Zeno used his wind to dry the two of them off. Just as he finished drying, sparks of electricity surged from the sewer they exited from.

“That was close. If we had stayed there any longer, we might have been fried,” Zeno said.

Just then, a woman landed right behind them. The shockwave from her landing sent Zeno and his girlfriend flying.

“Oya? You two look weak as ****,” the woman smirked.

She was clad in nothing but a skin tight bikini and a pair of silver sneakers. She had long jagged silver hair, a muscular, but sexy body, sharp teeth, red eyes, and most notably massive breasts.

Zeno’s girlfriend fired her gun at the woman, only for the bullet to bounce off with a clank.

“Tryin ta use metal against me? Seems like you're just a normie. I’m not sensing any threat from you. Greenie seems stronger, but I doubt his little breeze could faze me. Luckily, I’m starving for some strong foes, so you small fry get to live,” the woman smirked.

“Small fry!? Do you not know who I am!? I am the woman who will-“

“Don’t care. You’re a normie. Though if ya wanna get your ass beat, I’ll oblige.”

The woman then grabbed Zeno’s girlfriend and leapt off with her.

“The hell are you doing you sharp-toothed gorilla!?” Zeno yelled as he reached for his sniper rifle.

That was the moment Kumi and I arrived. Now back to the fight...

Zeno immediately reloaded his gun before firing at Kumi.

“Bullets? I’ll zap em-“

*smack*

“EYOWWWWWW!” Kumi screamed as she rolled around on the ground.

“Sorry Ojou-chan. I noticed you could turn yourself into lightning and changed my ammo to rubber bullets. Now move aside. I need to save my girl.”

“Hell no! I’m getting the level up!”

Kumi turned into lightning and began zapping back and forth as she attempted to reach Zeno.

“Think I can’t hit a fast-moving target?”

Zeno effortlessly struck down Kumi.

“Stop bruising my pretty face with those things!” Kumi screamed as she got off the ground and went for round three.

I know Kumi isn’t the brightest girl, but it was boring to watch her repeat the same strategy over and over again. If her strategy was to make Zeno run out of ammo, it was a failure. Even if Zeno ran out of rubber bullets, he’d just resort to using his tornado to block the lightning. I decided to give her a tiny hint.

“Vikapu’s down special,” I said telepathically to her as I began playing funiculi funicula in the background.

Kumi immediately understood and ran directly under Zeno.

“Oi oi, I can shoot straight down too ya know.”

"YO! I know this song that's playing, don't the lyrics go something like, "Yada yada oppai yada ya! Yada yada oppai ya funiculi frunicula duniculi funicula! Chessy on your weenie and sauce a on your nutz.""

"I'm not Italian, but I at least I know those are NOT the lyrics," Zeno groaned as he countered a bolt of lightning Kumi shot up at him with rubber bullets.

“BAKA!” Kumi grinned as a massive lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck Zeno.

He screamed as electricity coursed through his body, before losing consciousness and falling to the ground with a thud. The fall ended up breaking all his bones, but luckily for him, I could fix him with ease.

Kumi roared as she felt power coursing through her.

“YO! I think I leveled up!”

“Yes you did.”

Kumi was now effectively at level 7. This would be good for now. As I stored Zeno in a pocket dimension, I reminded Kumi about the riddle Piazzo had given her.

“All he mentioned was Nika would die when a bell stops ringing. Wait! Could she be in a clock tower?”

Kumi then zapped off to the bell tower as I decided to walk around some more.

“2 down, one to go. And best of all, Honoka will gain some experience in the process," I snickered.

                                                                           …

The silver haired woman dropped Zeno’s girlfriend as she sensed a strong opponent.

“Heh? A rich girl comin after me? I’m intrigued,” she smiled as she turned to face Honoka.
