The plan was simple really.
I couldn't let him touch those dolls.
With a cough I got up on shaky knees. Pain shot through my legs but I ignored that to raise my sword. "I won't…"
"Hm?" He let out as he turned around, "Wait the fight is still going?!"
"Of course!" I shouted, "My love of twintails won't let me stand down! I won't give up know matter how much you beat me!"
"I dunno you're looking kind of beat up…"
I paused, "Not too bad right?"
"Er, maybe it'll bruise a bit?" The lizard suddenly stared down in thought, "Wait do bruises in your magical girl form stay? I couldn't bear to see your beautiful form marred by my own hands."
"I don't actually know. Hopefully not? My mom would probably be worried sick if I came home bruised." Wait a goddamn- "No! That's not the point!"
And that was still creepy!
I brandished my sword, "Lizard Guildy… I won't give up until Aya is safe at home with her mom! Those twintails, you won't scare them ever again!"
"A fine heroic speech Tail Red." He gestured to the rest of the room, "But do you really think you can defeat the power of Dolls?"
"The answer to that is simple really," I let a grin cross my face before making a mad dash towards the Lizard, "AS IF I'D LET YOU TOUCH THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Wait wha-"
Blazer Blade: 40 Base Damage, +10 Dice, +10 Surprise Charge = 60 Total Damage
Lizard Guildy: 20 Base Resilience, +3 Dice = 23 Total Reduction
37 End Damage
Lizard Guildy: 88 - 37 = 51 Remaining Health
I slammed the pommel of the Blazer Blade into his chest as he started to fall backwards.
"And now the follow up!"
"OH GOD THE PAIN!"
Blazer Blade: 40 Base Damage, +19 Dice = 59 Total Damage
Lizard Guildy: 20 Base Resilience, +1 Dice = 21 Total Reduction
38 Total Damage
Lizard Guildy: 51 - 38 = 13 Remaining Health
Jumping up, I swung the Blazer Blade downwards before spinging around to kick him in the head. The Lizard flew to the side as I landed on the ground in front of the bed with a thud. With a twirl, I held up my sword to Lizard Guildy. "If your dolls make you stronger.. then I just need to make sure you don't touch any of them!"
He coughed, struggling to stand up before lifting up his fists, "I... See.."
There was a silence as I realized how damaged he was, "Do… Do I have to kill you? I mean, you seem pretty good for a monster."
"For a monster she says." He chuckled as a smile crossed his face, "Heh! Keep your conscience clear Tail Red! Us Guildy's always know to look out for death at any moment! As far as ways to die goes, at the hands of a beautiful girl is not at all bad! Why, many men would kill to have that chance! Well, no because that'd kind of defeat the point…"
This guy isn't really good at speeches is he?
"Nevertheless, this is no longer a fight to save a simple girl! This is a clash between your Twintails and my Dolls! And while I admit that your twintails are very pretty, I won't give up on my end either! Allow me to show you the ultimate technique of Dolls!" He held up his hands and suddenly six of the dolls on the bed started glowing before turning into pure light in front of him and forming a ball of… electricity? "While it's true that I can't boost myself without touching my dolls, my dedication to them has allowed me to create this finishing move! Behold! THE
INAZUMA SHOCKER!"
Oh…
Shit.
Inazuma Shocker: 30 Base Damage, +42 Dice = 72 Total Damage
Tail Red: 35 Base Resilience, +10 Dice = 45 Total Reduction
27 End Damage
Tail Red: 108 - 27 = 81
STUNNED!
With a flick of his wrist the ball slammed into me and sent electricity through my body. I fell back against the bed as my limbs spasmed. It was like i lost control of my entire body, also that hurt like
hell.
"Huff… Huff…" Lizard Guildy let out triumphantly, "How do you like that?"
I didn't like it, not at all. My everything hurt and while I didn't feel like I was going to die from it, it felt like my body had all its strength er,
zapped away. (I'm sorry please forgive me.)
There was a silence as my body slowly went back to normal and I could slowly feel my strength returning.
"Oh um, I didn't kill you did I?" The Lizard let out sheepishly, "I mean that was my first time trying it out on a living creature and I heard that it had enough volts to cause some serious harm to a regular human but you're an MG so I thought you'd be able to take it-"
"I'm alive." I gasped out, stopping him before he could bable too much, "That… Is a hell of a move. Can I get a break?"
"Yeah sure."
Mmm. Wow this bed is comfy.
"Um, Miss-Mister Tail Red?" Aya began, crawling over to where I was, "You're going to win right?"
"Of course I am." I smiled, slowly my arms moved up to touch her face. "If it's to protect your twintails than there's no way I could lose."
"Eh…" She touched her hair, "Are my twintails really so special?"
"Definitely! Twintails are the absolute best hairstyle in the world! There's no other hairstyle that could charm as many as the Twintails! Not braids, not ponytails ponytails, only Twintails! Every Twintail is unique and has charm!" It was like she flipped a switch in my heart and an engine ignited inside me, growing hotter with every word I spoke. Strength slowly returned to my body as I pushed myself off the bed, "The possibilities when it comes to Twintails are infinite! Your twintails are wholly unique to you, and you should be proud of that! Don't let the world get you down! Whoever dares disrespect Twintails, I will be there to protect them! That is why I fight! To protect the twintails in front of me!"
Suddenly knowledge started forming in my head and a rainbow glow started crawling down my arm. I instinctually raised my fist up and held it towards my opponent. "Lizard Guildy! You have shown me the power of your dolls, now allow me to show you the power of my Twintails! The Ones I've sworn to protect!
AURA PILLAR!"
A beam of pure light exploded in my arm and shot towards the Lizard before enveloping him in a pillar of swirling fire and energy.
"TAIL RED!" He roared, struggling to move. "What is this?!"
"Aura Pillar, a barrier beam that binds the enemy and the symbol of my protection!" I declared.
That's right…
I am not simply someone who fights.
I am someone who will do anything at all costs to protect Twintails.
Anything…
Even if It meant pushing myself to the absolute limit!
"BRAKE RELEASE!" I roared as the engine within me kicked into overdrive. The little jets on the side of my waist suddenly lit up and propelled me forward and into the air above my enemy. The Blazer Blade suddenly opened and fire began to consume it whole. "And this is my Finishing Move! The strength that the Twintails have given me!
GRAND BLAZER!"
Grand Blazer: 50 Base Damage, +45 Dice = 95 Total Damage
Lizard Guildy: 20 Base Resilience, +5 Dice = 25 Total Reduction
70 End Damage
Lizard Guildy: 13 - 70 = 0 Remaining Health
EXTINCTION!
The buster jets on my sides stopped and I descended upon the lizard, burning sword in hand. With all that I could, I roared my heart out and pushed all my strength into one strike that cut through the pillar.
I landed on the ground with a thud and Lizard Guildy fell to his knees. "Haha… So… Death is upon me. Yeah, going out via cute girl isn't the worst way to die."
"Lizard Guildy…" I began only to be cut off by a laugh.
"Do not feel guilty. I suppose a doll must eventually be grown out of anyways." He sighed, "Just remember me and I'll be able to face my death proudly."
I couldn't speak.
His dying wish…
"Also in that finishing blow I felt your twintails touch my cheeks and realized the truth of your words!"
"Oi don't let those be your dying words! I want something good to remember you by!"
"FAREWELL!"
"WAIT HEY!"
But before I could do anything his body exploded, blinding me until the smoke cleared leaving no remains of him.
He… was dead.
I stood there in shock, unsure of what to do.
Eventually I…
