[] Take the hits but tackle the Envoy away from Kaguya!
You had little time to react. You moved towards the Envoy just as the Snakes sank their fangs on your raised arm to protect yourself. You smashed your shoulder against her back as she staggered away from Kaguya. Setting your arm and leg on fire, you burned the snakes away but ended up taking in whatever was inside their fangs. You felt a sharp burning sensation course through your body as the Envoy chuckled darkly as Kaguya supported you from the side.
"Fast but not fast enough, GriefBorne," the Envoy said as she raised her hand as she smiled at you.
You got up and moved yourself between her and Kaguya, "You're still alive?"
"I'm very hard to kill, actually," the Envoy said as she gave you an amused look.
"You... What do you want? Your Masters have been quiet as of late," Kaguya hissed as she spoke from behind you.
"Masters? Well, the Executives are keeping their hands off this incident. They've already sent Kyoto support in the coming battle. They have little to do with me now that I've betrayed them," the Envoy hummed as she crossed her arms.
"You really expect me to buy that? Then why do all of this?" Kaguya hissed angrily as she clenched her hand into a fist.
"I've had my eyes on you for a long time, Lady Kaguya. And I never really liked you in the first place. Ridding of you here and silencing the GriefBorne would be a few pieces off the table for me to deal with. You've made yourselves quite the beacon of light in these trying times. Subduing the Blue Queen and leaving no chance for me to acquire her body goes against my agenda after all," the Envoy said as she walked your way. She then held up a finger before her lips, "Adding a little bit more Chaos can be the proverbial wrench in your plan."
Your eyes widened as you glanced at the fallen clipboard, "You... What did you do to Yuri?"
Kaguya winced at that before breathing out, "Shit."
"I'm sure you'll come to like it. Knowing you, you'll make it out of this. But still," the Envoy snapped her fingers as the world around you changed, "I'll try killing you here. Even if I lose, I can always come back later."
"Yukina. She's immortal," Kaguya growled as she stood behind your back.
"I know. Leave it to m-" you blinked as you felt your body weaken for a moment. Your body wasn't responding properly to your commands. The burning pain coursing through your veins.
The Envoy's world manifested soon after, cutting you off from the rest of the building and leaving you and Kaguya alone with her. The sky turned darker than it was before as lightning streaked across it. It had begun to rain as the Envoy stood before you and transformed her host's body into her Magical Girl outfit.
You clenched your fist as you watched her dash towards you. Even as your body felt sluggish, you leaned away from her punch and saw the glint of her dagger. You caught her knife hand with your left before she elbowed your chest. You watched her dash up a wall and perform a kick which struck you across the face.
Her hand thrust at your throat fast, forcing you to redirect it as she flipped over to land a kick at you. She turned to slash your eyes but you blocked her attack and delivered a blow to her side. She turned and raised her leg to sweep it across the air as you ducked, only for her knife to find your stomach as the two of you locked gazes.
VS
UNDYING SERPENT
THE ENVOY OF TOKYO
The Envoy tore her blade out of your body as you ended up staggering. She smiled as she lowered her weapon just as it shined green for a moment before extending. Lowering the sword into the ground, she dragged it for a bit before moving to slash you. Dashing back, you turned away as she cut into the railing of the rooftop.
You rolled beneath her strike before she ended up going for a thrust. You charged straight for her and palmed the blade past your shoulder as you drove a fist at her. The Envoy weaved out of the way as your elbows collided with one another.
"Not bad. But don't celebrate yet!" she whispered before she shoved you back as you baited her slash and stomped on her blade.
You moved in to perform a haymaker but she weaved out of the way and cut your side. You bled as you dodged out of the way of her next strike, her sword cutting your cheek and drawing blood. You punched as she blocked her with her pommel, allowing you to grab her weapon by the hilt and dragging her to you.
Driving your foot into her knee broke her poise and allowed you to smack down her weapon into the floor. She palmed you across the face before you moved to block and defend against her blows. You parried her uppercut and punched her stomach to shove her shoulder and sidestep her jab. Grabbing her overextended arm, you used her weight and momentum to throw her over your shoulder into the ground.
Raising your leg up, you performed an axe kick as she rolled away from you. You looked down and kicked away her sword before she rushed you with a flying kick. You leaned back as you moved in. The poison in your body burned your core before you got distracted. The Envoy moved past you and struck the back of your neck with a backhand, sending you leaning against a railing.
"Yukina!" Kaguya cried out as you turned to see the Envoy come in with a punch.
She broke the railing as you staggered away before you ducked beneath her next strike and smash her back first into it. She kneed your gut hard before punch you across the face. She hopped back and stepped off the railing to drive her heel against your face as you fell down. You rolled back as you fell before you looked back at her.
"You're getting slow, GriefBorne!" the Envoy hissed as she struck like a viper would, fast and ruthless.
You caught her fist with your palm before you kicked her hand away. Turning to face her, you raised your leg as she did the same, having your legs to both collide in the air hard. Pushing off one another, you stumbled back from the poison while the Envoy merely fixed her outfit. She raised her hands in a stance as she got ready to meet you.
"Don't push yourself. You're dying after all," the Envoy taunted as she shrugged with a shake of her head.
"You sure love to talk," you growled as you moved towards her.
Sliding beneath her, the Envoy was forced to sidestep your attack as you stopped using Tatyana's gravity power and then palm the ground beneath you. Using your momentum, you swung your legs in the air and caught the Envoy on her chest as you got up. Pressing the advantage, you moved with a jab but the Envoy elbowed the blow away and jumped with a kick of her own.
She was trying to control the flow given it was leaning on either her momentum or yours. The rain fell as you flipped back to the railings and hopped on top of one of them. Kicking off, you went past the Envoy as you swung your leg at her, using Tatyana again as brakes for you to swing back from the ground and unleash rainbow fire once you turned.
The Envoy punched through the flames and struck. You blocked and defended a flurry of blinding strikes until she managed to land a hit on your gut. The Envoy capitalized by driving her knee on your face before smashing your jaw with her elbow. You planted your foot behind you and moved to catch her by her leg.
Pulling her in, you landed your palm across her jaw before you saw her stumble back. Grabbing her by her costume, you smashed her into a wall before stepping on her stomach with Tatyana's power, performing an axe kick down her skull which forced her on her knees. The Envoy moved to grab your waist but you smashed your knee into her face, only to grab her head and smash it against the wall behind her.
You turned and struck her face with your elbow to which she bounced off the wall again, allowing you to trip her up and have her fall into the ground. You gasped as you fell down your knees as your body slowly collapsed from the poison. You were struck across the face and slammed into the wall. The Envoy dragged up against it and pinned as she locked your arms and pressed her forearm against your throat.
"What are you going to do, GriefBorne? You're going to kill me too?" the Envoy hissed as her eyes turned into reptilian slits.
"I'll... bring you... to justice," you growled back as you set your hands on fire, forcing her off you. You swept your hands through the air before you turned to kick through the raindrops as rainbow fire left your heels.
Landing on the ground, you faced her as you held your throat.
"You'll have me judged?" the Envoy asked as she raised her hands as lightning streaked across the sky, "You'll actually try and bring me down? You're much more of a disappointment than I thought."
"It's because it's the right thing to do," you breathed as you held up your fists, "You'll pay for your crimes. You'll atone for them. You'll be judged by the people you've wronged and be sentenced. That's why I'm putting you under arrest."
"Oh you're just precious," the Envoy hissed as she got into her stance. The rain began to bear down on the two of you as you locked on to one another's gaze.
