Sky Dragon No More

Locked onto Valo from the moment he appeared, Death would begin to trail him. His bike's advanced tech allowed him to scale the side of a building so that he might proceed via the rooftops and quickly cut off the Sky Dragon's approach toward the burning building. It would take roughly 27 seconds for the two to cross paths, and during this short drive Death brandished his twin-bladed sword. He could feel the energy building up within himself... before long, he would rip the Dragon from his home in the skies and show him just what end awaits him on the land.

Bike going into overdrive, Death flew from the roof of the building he was on and was at a crash-course straight for the road Valo was driving on. Without warning, without hesitation, the man pulled his blade back, primed and ready to strike. Just as the wheels would hit the ground, he would land beside Valo. Just as that moment came, he would slash forward, intent at decapitating the Dragon with his two-pronged blade before he had a chance to fight back.

Witnessing the Sky Dragon's vehicle spin out of control, he kicked his own nitro on and moved down the street at a speed that tore at the very asphalt the motorcycle rode upon. He'd expected to meet his opponent head-on after such an entrance, but... no, he wouldn't be given that luxury. The Sky Dragon would not accept a battle face-to-face. He had to run and hide like the coward he was.

Furious, he would begin to draw on the energy of the world around him pooling lost souls into the palm of his left hand. The whole thing would begin to glow, and he would point his palm directly at the rear end of Valo's vehicle. As he did so, runes of some sort would form within the air between them, marking the trajectory of his attack. "COWARD!" he shouted as the energy propelled in Valo's direction, aimed to hit both the bottom of the middle of Valo's vehicle and the asphalt around it. He would take the speed at which they traveled into account, getting close enough that altering course would still force Valo to suffer the consequences of destroyed terrain.

With all that happened, Death was still able to feasibly keep his eye on the Dragon and discern the tactics he'd attempt to make behind the slab of asphalt and concrete. The glow of his weapon, whatever it was, was akin to Death's own, and he wasn't about to willingly take any hits to find out how powerful it'd be. No, he was going to play this safe: no hits taken on his part, with the Sky Dragon's wings rended. That was the goal.

Pulling back on the handles of his bike, Death got into a wheelie just as Valo shot his energy bolt toward him. The bolt would collide with the back wheel, and combined with its forward momentum, sent him in a myriad of forward-bound flips that nearly mirrored Valo's own. He was quicker, however. More perceptive, even in this sort of situation. Turning his body so that he could counter the weight and slow the progression of spins, Death would catch his bike upside-down in what seemed to be an invisible railway. Grinding upside-down on his vehicle, he would meet the Sky Dragon's charge, the blade on his dual-pronged katana seeming to enlarge with pure energy until it took the form of a scythe. Where Valo struck with his sword, Death struck with his soul harvester, intent on catching Valo's blade with the handle and piercing his stomach with the tip of the blade.
