Raijin vs 552's Knight[[Leon]]

"Heh... So that's it huh. That's all I've got..."

The boy had no strength left to fight back against the pushback from Leon's attack. Shugo was hit full force with Raijin's Roar. The boy's body would be flung up into the air as blood splattered around him, flowing from the cuts across his body. The boy's body would sail through the air before hitting the Manor's rooftop. From there he would scrape against the roof shingles, his body ripping the shingles off of the rooftop just as much as the rooftop was ripping his shoulder. The boy would slide up the angled rooftop until it launched him like a ramp sending him flying into the front yard, the boy's body bouncing like a ball before he finally landed against the fountain in the front yard, shattering it under his body. The boy's left shoulder had been completely torn open and blood was freely dripping from the open wound. He had multiple cuts, scrapes, burn marks all along the rest of his torso. The right side of his face was completely stained with blood, forcing him to keep his right eye shut.

"Come on... Move... Get up..."

He pleaded with his body to stand back up. If he couldn't take this kind of punishment, how was he going to face Orochi? The boy's body would struggle some until the dog tags around his necklace began to shine a faint blue. Shugo would slowly let out a deep breath and step back up to his feet. He tried to move his left arm, but for now it was useless. It had sustained too much damage to function properly. The nerves had probably been damaged by the electricity. He would slowly make his way around the side of the manor to meet Leon in the back, his body barely standing.

"Ready for round 2?"

"Good."

I have to go stronger. I have to push against the limits of my body.

The boy closed his eyes, his body once more expelling electricity. It wasn't damaging lightning, no instead this time the electricity would disappear as it left the boy's body. This was a sign of him using his stronger ability once more. This was a sign of Shugo once more entering SEED Tier 3. The boy would charge electricity to his right hand once more for one final Sword of Light beam. As the boy took a step forward, he could feel his chest pulse heavily. He froze in his tracks. The pain surged through his body as the glow from the Riot Tags faintly stopped. His mind came to the sudden realization of how much damage his body had taken. The electricity would expel from his body and then dispel itself completely. The boy's eyes once more reverted to their normal form. Shugo would fall forward onto his knees, using his right hand to catch himself as his left arm hung limply at his side.

"Goddamn.Goddamn.Goddamn."

The boy closed his eyes tightly as he felt the pain enveloping his body completely. He would once more attempt to stand up, to no fruition.

The boy's eyes widened as he saw Leon charging the attack. This was going to be bad. Quickly, Shugo would pull himself up to his knees. Raising his right hand out, the boy would shoot out a blast from his Infinite Ring to meet Leon's attack part way. It wasn't enough to completely stop the attack. But it was enough to cause a small explosion and a smoke screen. Quickly the boy would get up to both feet, pivoting on his left just in time to allow his body to avoid the attack. However... it wasn't fast enough to move his left arm out of the way. Adding to the damage he had endured from the rooftop, the boy's left arm was now completely covered in blood and burns. Still, Shugo charged through the pain. He had a job to do. With the sound of wings flapping, Shugo would charge through the smoke screen at Leon, lunging forward as he closed the space, Shugo would slide across the ground on his knees. The boy would hold his right hand out, forming a blade of electricity, and stand up on one knee to give himself a little extra height, pointing the blade right at Leon's throat if he wasn't stopped.

"Take this as your win or as a draw. I don't care. But we need to stop now. We're taking this too far."

"Oh thank god. I was bluffing."

The lightning blade retracted as our blue haired hero let out a small laugh and fell to his side. Letting out a small groan, Shugo would roll over onto his back, panting heavily. He looked over at his left arm for a moment and then back up at the sky. The boy would bring his right arm up to cover his eyes.

"We have to work on your definition of fun, Leon."

Seed Tier 1: -7 INT 1/10

"Shut upppp!"

Shugo laughed a little as he spoke. And then he remembered that laughing was pretty painful right then and there. He nearly activated the ability of his dog tags to take the pain away, but instead he decided to do something else. Using his right hand, Shugo would pull the dog tags from his neck.

"Heads up."

The boy would throw the dog tags over to Leon. He had caused Leon real pain because of this fight. He was responsible for that. So if he could ease some of Leon's pain, the boy would attempt to do so.

"Hold them tight. They'll relieve some of the pain for a bit of time."

The boy would allow Leon to pick him, although he would instead insist on just slinging an arm around Leon and walking himself. The First Pillar was stubborn. Shugo would move with Leon as they made it to the inside of the mansion.

"Cabinet under the sink. Med kit's in there. I'll give you a hand patching yourself up first. I'm... I'll be fine."

The boy trailed off at the end there. If Leon further inspected any of Shugo's wounds, he would notice the bleeding had already stopped on most of them. The boy's accelerated healing factor had already began to kick in.

"Everyone else is afraid of Orochi. I needed to be something stronger than I am right now. I needed to know how much damage I could give."

Shugo spoke clutching the dog tags in his hands. He'd stand by for Leon in case the other boy needed any help. Shugo could have used the tags to help himself. Relieve himself of some of the pain. But instead, the boy would attempt to recharge the dog tags, pouring his QI energy into them in an attempt to give the tags a longer lifetime for when he handed them back to Leon.

"I also... I told someone I was going to make it back alive. So I needed to know how much damage I could take before dying."

The boy thought back to his encounter with Yvette. He'd narrow his eyes at the remembrance of his promise before snapping back to reality. Shugo would hold the dog tags out to Leon for whenever he was ready.

"How about you? Why'd you agree?"
