Ventus faced off against Mythra, in his Gear 5 state as lightning crackled all around him, Mythra in her awakened form. Ventus walked to Mythra forging his lightning blade which he extruded to be arms length, holding it to form a handle before charging in. Mythra also ran at him, firing arcs of light that Ventus sliced through before the two clashed and bounced away. As Ventus stopped though, he faltered momentarily before flexing his aura back out and charging in.
Both fighters clashed with blades and power, Mythra though was better in composure and nothing one of Ventus' swings came slower – due to his exhaustion she sheathed her sword and punch in the gut sending him flying into the air "Korva...let's end this fight"
"As you wish...Captain" Korva said sounding to be struggling "But...I am now unsure of how much longer I can sustain my aid with both offence and defence"
"Surely you can handle this much...but this fight has dragged on longer than we're both used to so its understandable. Right now" she merged her blade and Korva's together, aiming it at Ventus "SACRED BLASTER!" Ventus saw it coming, flinching
"Wait...hmmm...I might be able to...its worth a shot later..." Ventus began rapidly rolling forward to create the blue X as before but this time made a smooth horizontal and vertical Arc kicks to add two more lines before thrusting his hands to the centre
"AHhh...XTRALIC Ballista!" for a fierce blue and white bordered ballista to burst out, colliding with Mythra's attack.
Ventus tried pushing on the attack, Mythra looking to be struggling until the two attacks exploded. Mythra merely covered herself from the blast, while Ventus was blasted away and quite high into the air. Going for the tuners, he changed to the Seraphim to soften his landing going to a mild tumble. As he stood up, panting his aura thinning slightly with Mythra much more lightly breathing "I...don't know how you did that...but I can sense your body's condition is declining. You're burning more energy than me...and that will be your downfall"
Mythra would head in, both blades ready...though Korva's blade looked to be a bit dimmer with Ventus getting back up forging his electric sword. Ventus engaged in battle once more, kinetic and frantic...but Ventus was losing steam, his reactions getting gradual slower. Mythra pushed on, going for a diagonal swing that Ventus docked and he kicked her head but Mythra blocked it with Ventus firing an intense burst of energy which she blocked by bending backwards...before she brought her head back up, to head-butt his face and kick him away.
Ventus flinched harshly as Mythra came in with a cross slash but Ventus suddenly flipped backwards and head-smashed into Mythra's face before he rapidly followed with intense punches and hitting Mythra with an intense burst of energy hat she managed to withstand and even dissipate. Mythra looked on, grimacing and even faltering slightly as Ventus went to one knee "Where...where did that...how..." MYthra remarked even sensing a warm feeling to her cheek, patting her face to see her blue-blood present "Blood?"
"Ahhh...ahhhh...ahhh...I won't give up Mythra" he got back up "So...let's keep going" Ventus charged in, lightning blade at the ready with Mythra parrying his blows...before his energy faltered, letting Mythra deflect his weakened blow
"X-SLASH!" and deal a clean, cross-slash to Ventus who cried out as he was engulfed in an explosion and sent hurtling back.
Ventus tumbled harshly, Mythra re-correcting her posture, as he stopped on his knees...but nearly fell forward, holding his gut over his t-shirt having been torn and tattered his aura nearly vanishing "There...that should do" Mythra remarked sheathing her blades "Now then let's..."
"Not yet...not yet" he said getting back up and shouting to bring back his aura
"You can't be serious...fine then...let's end this" Mythra charged back in, this time making multiple clones of herself, numbering more than 10 that all charged in.
Ventus stood ready, a bit unsteady as each clone attacked him both together and separately "I...I can't tell which is real this time...they're all too similar" he would dodge the first and 2nd, block the 3rd but was hit by the fourth. Ventus was struck repeatably, forging him to cover his body in an attempt to mitigate the damage as all the clones – as if real – continually chipping away at him.
From the stands, it looked a bit hopeless "Ventus can't keep up this for much longer" Reima said worriedly "Mythra is attacking him that quickly he can't pick out the real from the fake"
"Each attack is chipping away at his stamina" Warkin said "add on the Gear 5 as well and soon he'll drop"
"That is true but...I've not given up just yet on him" said Lunafreya
"Neither have I" Zarla said with her "Just keep supporting him everyone"
Mythra kept going, her clones dancing around Ventus, who's clothes slowly became more and frayed with each strike "I can feel your power slipping Ventus! As I told you...you were a fool to neglect the power you were given"
"Maybe...but I don't regret it" he said firmly "So...ahhh...keep your opinions to yourself!" his brand lit up dimly as his power flexed, he blocked one Mythra and then went for a low-sweep to his left, his body acting before his mind, tripping the real Mythra up before he put his hands to her abdomen.
For a moment Mythra froze in place, as Ventus stood with hands forward, connected at the wrists, as he shouted his aura rising and expanding...even distorting slightly in shape. From his back came wings...transparent wings, one Angelic and the other almost reptilian in shape "He...triggered...the awakening!"
"AHHHHHHH" Ventus then unleashed an intense of power, that Mythra only had enough time to block with dual swords.
Mythra tried resisting, but the blast was intense and strong "I can't...push it back...just how...and where did he...ahhh?" Mythra kept trying to walk forward but couldn't as Ventus pushed with all he had...
"Ca...Captain...I can't...keep...going like this...I'm going to...going..." Korva tried to talk, but Mythra couldn't hear her. Ventus kept going until his body caught up with him, his aura faded and he fell to his hands and knees, panting. Without him feeding the beam, it gradually shrunk down to nothing...Mythra coming to a stop...then to one knee panting.
Mythra looked up to see Ventus' power ebbing away, his armour the same "There...there we...go. Wow...you certainly gave it all it you had...but now its over" Ventus slowly got up, only his wrist guards left of the Valkyur power "Your body can no longer support the power you possess while I...I..." Mythra would actually stagger and near-trip up
"Speak...for...yourself...Mythra" he said sarcastically "You're...not looking so hot yourself" as Mythra looked at her condition, a moment of anger flared in her demeanour as she sliced with her formed sabre to launch an arc at Ventus.
Ventus would try to fire an energy beam, but he simply faltered forward forcing him to guard...near knocked over by it "Ahhh...ahhh...I...I can't...ahh...Ahhh" Mythra fired a few more arcs, Ventus weak guard lowering until he took one, hitting tyhe ground
