Red seems very confused, but grabs his head as if he's having a headache.

Red: What is this guy talking about?

Astra seems more and more mentaly unstable by the minute.

Astra: So, you're betraying us. This is unforgivable.

--- Chapter 46 ---

Astra dashes into Red with his hand reaching out to him. A low chirping rings out, signifying his ability is active. Red brings his right arm around, grabbing Astra’s arm to throw him. When he grabs it, he starts to get shocked, his muscles tensing locking him in place. Astra brings his left hand around punching Red in the face. Red flies back a bit, his insignia swirls around his fist. Red cracks a smile, yet he still looks in pain.

Red: Now, let's turn up the HEAT!

He Punches forward.

Red: Improvised! DRAGON FIST FEAST!

Multiple dragon heads zoom towards Astra. He closes his eyes, and opens them fastly, shouting

Astra: ENOUGH!

Reds dragon fist feast is entirely nullified as most of the insignia disintegrates. What's left swirls back onto his forearm.

Astra: I'm done playing games Red! Pay for what you have done.

He lifts his hand to Red

Astra: Maximum vol-

Fumbling is heard to his left, followed by a bright light.

Astra: Hm?

Astra starts to turn his head to see but is caught by three fists, two massive ones and one normal size. Astra goes flying. He crashes against the floor. He starts to pull himself off the ground.

???: Looks like we got here just in time.

???: Indeed.

Standing before Astra, A golem with Luna behind it, Sole with his strength, and Zetsu.

Astra: Y-you…

He starts twitching before swiftly flinging his hands into the air crossed.

Astra: MAXIMUM VOLTAGE.

Black lighting can be seen flowing around his hands. It jolts into the air sporadically.

…

Nothing happens.

Astra: What?!

Creit: N-now, that I know your arcana…

Astra looks over at Creit on the ground, his eyes glowing red.

Astra: You- Your nullifying my arcana!

Astra starts to run toward Creit.

Zetsu: Thank you Creit, I had activated grounded, but you provided an excellent opening.

Zetsu grabs his right sleeve and pulls it up, revealing an arm full of scars. One glows a light green. Zetsu launches forward at immense speeds. Astras eye looks over at him coming in.

Astra: With my eyes I can see him coming, but I can't do anything!

Zetsu punches him in the face, followed up by a barrage of punches. Astra begins to punch back with immense speeds, but Zetsu dodges every punch.

Zetsu: As I thought, no skill. You're just a kid with power and no actual training. We both have power, but you miss skills that I have, you cannot win.

Astras face scrunches, eyes closed. A bit of blood trickles from his closed eyes.

Astra: ENOUGH!

He opens his eyes, but Lunas golem swiftly pushes Zetsu out of the way, before the golem is obliterated into nothing. Zetsu looks over at Luna.

Zetsu: Thanks for that.

Luna: Yah, no problem.

Zetsu gets up and looks at Astra.

Zetsu: Powerful arcana and optical technique. You really got lucky at birth.

Astra is filled with rage by this statement. A black spike with a red line down the sides rockets out of Astras back, moving in a jagged like motion, and stabs into Akiza’s unconscious body, though it doest seem to leave a wound.

Zetsu: How many tricks does this kid have?

Astra runs in for a punch, a red scar glows on Zetsus chest. They punch into eachothers fist. A stalemate, each side pushing the other. But suddenly blood rockets out of Astras fist encasing Zetsu’s fist.

Zetsu: This is, Akiza’s arcana?!

Astra: I used my eyes to examine her arcana to the tee. Now-

The spike pulls itself out and stabs into Toa. Zetsu glows for a second, before Astra throws him into the air, now affected by her low gravity.

Sole: I hope you haven't forgotten about me.

Astra looks surprised. Then starts to turn around.

Sole: Although I don't know how one could overlook my holy visage. So I will assume you didn't seek to fight because of my overwhelming power. Thanks for the flattery.

Astra closes his eyes, blood beginning to trickle.

Sole: This trick again?

Astra opens his eyes towards Sole. But as soon as his eyes begin to open, he's met with the full force of Soles fingers poking his eyes, sending him flying back holding them.The spike becomes dislodged from Toa, causing Zetsu to fall and land behind Astra.

Zetsu: Welcome back Sole.

Sole: Glad to be back.

Zetsu runs up to Astra, a scar glows red as he punches Astra towards Sole. Sole punches Astra into a wall. Astra bounces off coughing up some blood. Zetsu and Sol appear next to him.

Zetsu: Twin.

Sole: Combo.

Zetsu+Sole: LARIAT!

Zetsu straight arms his legs, causing him to no longer touch the ground, and Sole with his might hit him in the head, causing it to rocket into the ground. Zetsu and Sole start to walk away with a chuckle.

Astra: I won't die- TILL I HAVE HIS HEAD!

He says pointing at Red. Zetsu and Sole exchange a glance. A deep reddish orange scar glows. Light starts to seep out of Sole, and forms a ball of light in his hand. Soles body begins to shrink as its absorbed into the ball.

Zetsu: Fire Spire!

Sole: Solar Flare!

Sole tosses the ball up above Astra, and below Astra erupts a tower of fire. The ball of light begins to soar downward, blasting him into the ground. Astra lies there, lifeless.
