“This is a tale of humans, beasts, and beings from other worlds. A tale of a girl who wants to surpass the strongest; no this is their tale. A tale of hope. A tale of Flaming Light.”

Tesla dashes off against Dayve and throws a swift high kick at his head but Dayve is quick to evade by bending his head backwards and stepping back also.

“You’ve dodging a lot lately. Could it be you’re still recovering after having fought Gerrar and Erraz?” Tesla asks.

Dayve smiles a bit and replies, “You’ve always been quite the witty one, Tesla. However, make no mistake, I have enough to take you on even at this moment.”

In an instant, he appears in front of Tesla and launches a powerful punch with his right fist. Tesla manages to block the attack but is pushed back by the force of the punch, tumbling backwards. She however, uses her hands to lift herself mid-air during the tumbling and quickly, with her right hand, forms a ball of wind which she sends against Dayve but he avoids it by moving to his right.

As Tesla lands, a burst of energy explodes from her, causing the ground to quake tremendously. The air around the elevated fighting platform becomes quite heavy. Tesla is now cloaked in silver lightning, her hair begins flowing upwards with silver lightning sparks around it. Her eyes also glow with lightning sparks emanating from them as well.

“Luckily I was able to save some of the energy from the lightning pill I took in during the battle against Kevine. And now, after recalling that saved up energy, I have been able to supercharge myself. Now, I can unleash that weapon,” Tesla thinks to herself.

Dayve stares at her and thinks to himself, “So, she supercharged herself. She was smart enough not to exhaust herself in the battle against Kevine and recall it. Tesla’s abilities are quite top notch, never disappointing. I wonder what surprise she has in store.”

Tesla facing Dayve, says, “I have nothing against you Dayve, well except for the fact that you hurt Gerrar and I’m going to have you pay for that. However, you are a person I somewhat admire. Your skills, your composure and your intelligence, it’s amazing I must say but you’re also someone I must overcome. Defeating you in this tournament, has been one of goals ever since you joined Glory Academy.”

Dayve smiles and replies, “Exactly what I wanted to say about you Tesla. You’re witty, powerful, beautiful at that however, Tesla, I have no intention of losing to you here.”

“I won’t waste anymore time, here I come,” Tesla says, putting her right leg forward.

“Silver Storm: Cloud of Hermes.”

A silvery cloud having silver colored lightning sparking under it, forms below her feet and in a powerful boom, she zooms towards Dayve. In a flash, she appears in front of Dayve and throws a silver lightning induced uppercut against him. Dayve is quick to evade the attack however due to the immense speed of the attack, it cuts off some piece of hair from Dayve and the lightning from the punch is sent towards the sky.

Dayve uses his right foot to sweep Tesla off the ground but Tesla swiftly flips back to dodge, puts her hand on the ground while flipping back, spins, releasing her hands from the ground and uses her right foot to kick the left side of Dayve’s face but he blocks the kick with his left hand. Without hesitation, she thrusts her left foot against his chest but he blocks it with his right palm and using the palm as support, she pushes herself backwards, high into the air. She directs right palm at Dayve, forms a big ball of water, about three feet (3ft) in diameter and unleashes a water based attack at him.

“Water Style: Rapid bursts!!!”

Immediately, the ball of water fragments into smaller balls and begin firing at Dayve at high speed. Dayve responds with a fire attack,

“Fire release: Lion’s Roar!!!”

Dayve releases huge amount of fire in the form of a very large and ferocious lion with its mouth fiercely opened. The flaming lion consumes the small balls of water but while in the air, Tesla quickly makes some hand gestures and says,

“Silver release: Silver sealing technique: Silver Silo!!!”

Instantly, a large insignia appears on the ground beneath Dayve and that area turns to liquid silver which begin sucking Dayve in. It then stops and solidifies at his knee point and a huge cylindrical wall of silver sprouts, enveloping him, leaving only the top with an opening.

“She put a seal when she touched the ground during that her spinning kick attack. As expected of Tesla, her thinking capacity is something else,” Dayve says to himself, looking up to the sky.

Suddenly, the entire clouds begin to rumble as Tesla lands. Dayve, looking at the sky, opens his eyes wider a bit as he sees the clouds.

“I see when she did that uppercut, she knew I’d dodge it. The real reason for that was to send lighting to the clouds for her technique, a true genius,” Dayve comments.

Swiftly as she lands, Tesla raises her right hand, swipes it down and says, “Fall from heaven. Storm release: Silver chaos.”

Immediately, with super speed and a powerful burst, a huge bolt of silver lightning shoots from the clouds against Dayve who is trapped in the silver silo. Dayve quickly puts his hands together and says,

“Fire release: Full body flame explosion!!!”

An outburst of fire erupts from Dayve’s entire body and blows up.

BOOOMMMM!!!

A massive explosion occurs as the two techniques clash causing great tremors on and much dust. Once the dust settles, Dayve is seen, with one of his knees on the ground as he tries to stand with the other. He is panting, his shirt has been battered by Tesla’s technique while little sparks of lightning can be seen around his body. Slowly, he stands and swipes the body dripping from his mouth.

“You got me there, Tesla. I’d expect nothing less from a prodigy such as yourself,” he states.

“To still be standing after taking that, you’re really something, Dayvelion Blaze. Maybe, just maybe, if I hadn’t fallen for Gerrar, I’d probably have fallen for you. That technique just now was twice the power of the one I used against Deva and yet you were able to withstand it. Is that as a result of that special body of yours I heard about from Gerrar?” Tesla replies.

Dayve remains silent, his golden eyes shine brightly as he exhales and immediately, he sprints, appearing in a flash, at Tesla’s front, launching a powerful right hook at Tesla however, she blocks it with her own lightning induced punch. The shockwave generated from the clash of fists is very loud giving off a booming sound like thunder. Swiftly, they both disperse only to appear at another location on the fighting platform, exchanging fists. They begin to move at very high speeds as streaks of fire and silver lightning can be seen moving around, vanishing and appearing at several locations on the stage, exchanging punches and kicks.

Everyone is watching in amazement of this very high level battle between prodigies.

“I think it’s time to pull off that combo,” Tesla thinks to herself, during the high speed clash.

She quickly pulls back, directs her palm at the incoming Dayve, does some hand gestures and instantly, silver clouds discharging silver lightning, cover the entire battlefield. Dayve becomes unable to move, as the silver lightning from the clouds begins to shock him as well as Serena, Dayve and Teru.

“Argh!!!” They yell except from Dayve who is gazing at Tesla as she floats in the air, standing on her ‘Cloud of Hermes’.

“Silver storm instantly immobilizes everything within its range whilst delivering a powerful surge of lightning attack on the targets. Though this is nowhere near what the actual silver storm is, the lightning from this is actually draining. Not to mention, I feel she’s about to unleash an even more powerful attack,” Dayve thinks to himself, looking up at Tesla.

She gazes at the entire elevated battle arena and says, “It ends here. Heed my call and come forth, Storm Glaive!!!”

Out of thin air, a huge ethereal glaive of about twenty feet (20ft) in length appears, having a silver blade with silver designs and accessories on its long handle with a blue piece of cloth like a scarf, wrapped around the handle and flowing outwards.

“Shit!!! The power emerging from that glaive is absurd. That’s a divine weapon just like the one Serena released a few minutes ago. This attack plus this Silver Storm, will I even be able to survive that? Is the end for me in this tournament? Have I really lost?” Dayve ponders, gazing at the Tesla’s Storm Glaive.

Everyone is amazed, the kings and queens are astonished at this development. Goryu, King of Galedom, is quite perplexed at this saying, “Isn’t that the same glaive as that troublesome old fellow, the great Storm Emperor, Nikola Senjou Silver?!!”

Phoenix is a bit surprised as well as he thinks, “it does look familiar.”

Luxxi Hertz, Queen of Stormville, smiles, saying to herself, “So you’re now able to summon it, very good Tesla. Now, Show me that you’re able to use it as well.”

Farads Hertz, King of Stormville, goes on to boast, “We might as well end the tournament here. Tesla is the clear winner as none of those participants will survive that.”

Marcus, Gerrar’s father, who is seating behind Phoenix, thinks to himself, “wouldn’t it be too early to decide? Nevertheless, that... is a troublesome weapon and at this point, Dayve seems to be exhausted.”

Back at the fighting arena,

“This technique will end this entire tournament,” Tesla states, standing on her Cloud of Hermes’, as the others watch her, unable to move.

With her eyes glowing with silver radiance discharging bits of lightning sparks, she lifts her right hand as the mighty ethereal glaive spins and makes a vertical swing downwards as Tesla says, “Erupt!!! Storm Catastrophe!!!”

Dayve, Serena, Dubnet and Teru stare as the giant Storm Glaive descends on them.

“It’s over,” Tesla concludes.

BOOOOMMMMM!!!!!
