Turn 8: Arena Works Plus

Driver, beneath the helmet is sweating a lot. Anxiety has hit red, as he realizes that Ayane in this state might as well be in the same level of danger as Sho was in his Drive.

Driver: Seems that I have no choice. You know, I am not really fond of fighting with this system of mine.

The crowd is hyped as well. It is apparent that the battle is climaxing.

Driver: To be honest, my system is one fit for massacre. For chopping people up, for cutting lives up. It's true potential cannot be used like this.

Ayane: Do you mean to say you have been holding back on us?

Driver: In a way, yes. It's a personal thing... I don't want to kill anymore. That's why I only want to make you surrender or get defeated by a technical K.O.

It's because I'm sick of killing!

Driver stands still. Inside the helmet, only we can see his expresion. His mouth is open, and we can see his one eye, they one that was revealed when the helmet broke. His expression is obviously one of a sudden though.

Yes, that might work.

Driver gets low again. He takes off his Skate Works, as well as any other works that were still in play. The only one active now is the basis of his Drive, the Arena Works.

Driver: My system's drive has two modes. One is used for crowd control... The other is used for 1v1 fights. It is the most deadly... But I think I can make it work now.

Driver places his palm on the floor.

Driver: [I've been a fool! If you don't want to cut them... Beat them up.]

Immense aura starts generating from his palm, and it spreads far and wide... It spreads on the ground, and it actually covers the ground dictated by Ayane's purple dome.

Driver: *he looks towards one of the cameras* Rejoice, world! And prepare for an epic show!

VS!

Driver dashes at Ayane, but instantly feels his legs being impaled by thousands of needles. He disregards the pain, and appears infront of Ayane, screaming at the top of his lungs as his brain almosts shuts down from the pain.

From the arena, a portion of the aura rises at amazing speed, forms a blunt column, and flies straight for Ayame.

The girl dodges it at the last second, but feels the immensity of the strike as it flies past her body, missing her.

Without her realizing it, Driver had placed another column behind her, and as she dodges to the back she hits her head on it.

The stun was enough to make her loose control of the illusions for a mere second. That opening, Driver takes advantage of.

He dashes at her, and from the ground, two aura poles are launched towarsd Ayane. She uses her telekinesis to deflect them, guarding herself, but Driver grabs them midair, and swings them like swords, making full contact with Ayane.

The first two strikes connect, and Ayane feels the power Driver put behind each one. After than, the illusionist controls her opponent's brain accordingly, and makes him see things black for a second. She escapes from his reach, and instantly uses her powers to damage his ears, making also lose his balance.

After all that, she uses here Mugen no Ken illusion again, and Driver screams as he feels every blade impale his skin roughly.

Ayane was running around to make sure he doesn't come after her.

Driver: Arena Works...Plus... Is a Drive that can be used without me fighting.

As Driver was on the ground, still unable to control his senses, he raises two fingers.

Right below Ayane the aura rises and throws her in the air with force. From all around her, the ground starts attacking her, litterally.

Columns from all over the place start appearing, attacking Ayane who was still midair.

Driver: [Illusions and telekinesis stem from the same power source. You can either have me down, or use telekinesis to protect yourself... What will you choose?!]

Ayane: [I could take some damage to let him endure the pain, but it would mean I would have to suffer all this damage... After that, I won't be able to keep up anymore... No choice, it seems].

Ayane closes off most of her illusions on Driver, making him only feel dizzy. At the same time, with a shadowed face, and a dark red eye glowing, she swings her arm.

Insantly, all the aura collumns break to pieces, and Ayane lands rather easily, looking at Driver.

Panting, Driver stands up, and uses his Arena Work's columns to move. A column raises him high in the dome, around three meters high, and a few others appear, at seemingly random places.

Ayane notices that her brother is safe, outside the reach of the purple dome, and so decides she can go all out.

Winds start blowing all aroudn the place, and Driver, combined with the illusionary balance issues he has, can barely stand.

Using his collumns, he starts moving around, jumping around from one another,as they are still moving. He feels his head burning, as controlling all these collumns takes a huge burden on him.

Driver: [Only a few minutes left!!!].

Driver's running around was only meant as a disstraction. The columns have been placed accordingly...They are all pointed at Ayane, and they leave no room for escape. Having been placed as such, it seems like there is a smaller dome inside the purple dome.

Driver: I would advise you to pull the best defensive move you have.

The wind is getting more and more stronger, and the illusionary symptoms are starting to get worse again. It's apparent that Ayane is getting tired too, using all these powers.

Ayane: Let's finish this.

Ayane actually gathers Chi aura around her hands, and goes for one last try...

Driver dashes from high towards Ayane, falling as the columns are being launched at the girl.

Ayane on her side prepares to receive Driver's strike, while also defend from the Incoming strike.

The purple dome instantly turns off, and the ammount of Chi aura around her is doubled. With the illusion-based dome turned off, her telekinesis also gets a boost.

Driver: Here goes!

Ayane: Fall!

(Lotus Storm)

Driver, an inch away from Ayane, swings his fist forward, while also waiting for all the columns to strike.

Ayane, with a much more battle-crazy look than usual, releases all of her telekinetical aura, that explodes like a lotus spreading, and also swings her fist.

Sho: [Ayane...? What happened?]

Sho just opened his eyes to see a huge purple aura destroy immense metal coloured coloumns, and two people passing by eachother.

Driver and Ayane are standing with their backs to eachother... And wait.
