32 X-BURNER

"Oow, costume change. You look so hot right now." She teased.

Disregarding her words. He crouched a bit, taking a fighting stance. His hand lit on fire, covering the gloves.

[Reborn Series]

[Sonic]

*BOOM*

Isabella quickly ducked to her side. As soon as she did a powerful foot came flying past where her face had been. She dreaded what could have happened.

Noticing his initial attack missed, Dante repositioned above her mid attack and sent down a devastating axe kick, charging at her shoulder.

She jumped out of the way, and the foot crashed into the ground, creating a crater and shockwaves, sending her rolling and tumbling.

Before she could do anything, the hairs on her body stood up, and her instincts screamed at her to move. Without thinking, she quickly rolled away. Just as she did, a foot came crashing from the sky. Shaking the ground, creating a huge crater, sending her fly.

[Sonic] is a self created movement technique derived from the fusion of [Soru] in one piece, [lightning breathing] and the movement and speed of airbenders.

He slowly turns towards her. Watching her trying to regain her bearings.

"That speed, it will be hard for her to counter even with her quirk." Leo observed.

Others agreed that it would be hard for anyone to counter such speed.

[Sonic]

Dante seemed to disappear and reappeared in front of Isabella, aiming a power fist at her face.

Reacting quickly, she jumped back and created a pillar to block the attack.

But it was futile. The pillar was easily broken by the punch, and the fist still rushed towards her face. She crossed her arm to block and was sent flying and crashing into the ground.

[Reborn Series]

[Fire]

He closes the distance between them and starts throwing a fury of punches and kicks. She tries to stop them, but some get past her defenses, and she was knocked around a bit.

However, she slowly started understanding the flow of the attacks and was ready to attack herself.

But then,

[Lighting]

The attacks change from furious and wide. To focused, precise, and deadly. One wrong move, and she's seriously injured.

She backed away defending, weaving, waiting. Waiting for a chance to attack. She spoted one and goes on the attack.

Again

[Water]

Her attack is easily redirected. Now, a fluid motion of attacks are coming at her. What they lacked in power, they made up for in sting and adaptability. She was being pushed back and starting to feel suffocating. Drowning.

"What a fascinating fighting style. It seems to be based on the elements. Just as difficult to confront as I'm sure it was to create such a style" Sebastian remark.

"Yes, a style that can be changed at any moment to attack, confuse, and defend against you opponent. Quite the accomplishment." Giovanni agreed.

Isabella jumped back quickly and created a pillar to launch her high into the sky to hopefully buy her a few seconds of breathing room.

She sighs in relief and proceeds to look down for her enemy only to see Dante fly beneath her, parallel to her, his face merely a foot away from hers. His calm tranquil eyes staring into her panicked filled ones.

[Air]

He slowly reaches out and rests a hand on her shoulder, and gently pushes her down.

Still looking at her as he rises, and she falls.

As though signifying their difference in power.

He stayed in the sky, looking down at her as she plummets to the ground.

[Reborn Series] elemental takedowns are fighting techniques inspired by the 4 elements in Avatar [Air] [Water] and so on. The takedowns are also enhanced by their respective breathing technique.

After hitting the ground, she laid there staring at Dante, still in the sky looking down on her. She is filled with uncontrollable rage.

"Ahhh" She screams, sits up and kneels.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUUUCK" She screamed repeatedly as she punches the ground beneath her.

She, an actual certified and qualified professional. Trained by the best of the best was being overwhelming and manhandled by a little kid with no known trainer, right in front of mentor.

How could she endure this.

Noticing the lady's distress Dante flies down and lands a distance away from Isabella.

"Do you want to stop." He says in a cold and calm voice.

His first time speaking to her after his transformation.

His question did little more than piss her off. But what could she do. Aside from the few hits she got in at the start. She had been outclassed by this kid in every aspect. Offense, defense, tactics, power, speed etc. He was always one step ahead.

"Fuck. I'm going to end this now." Said declared.

She gets up and raises both her arms into sky.

'She seems to be charging something up. A final powerful attack huh.' Dante thought

'I really want to attack her mid charge and end this. But that is frowned upon and this is a trial. How about I fight fire with fire.' He thought.

Jumping further back. Increasing his distance from her.

Taking a slighly wide fighting stance with his left foot forward and right foot back.

He then clutches his left hand on his chest and stretches his right hand behind him.

*WOOM*

A huge cone of fire gently blasts out of his right hand behind him. Causing the ground to tremble and shake. The flame growing bigger and bighter by the second. Until it finally stops. Now it's burning a stable pace and size.

Then the hand on his chest starts glowing and shining. Intense flames build up and gather in it and keeps increasing. The ground continues to shake. It's getting hotter and hotter.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" Hinata asked a bit worried.

This attack seemed like it was going to be a little dangerous.

Aurora slowly sits upright.

Isabella just finished her preparation and is ready to launch, but sees the flames behind Dante has a bad premonition.

'No, damnit I will bury this damn kid here today.'

She reignites her determination.

[Galactic Avalanche]

She smashes her hands into the ground. Creating an avalanche of earth as wide as two football stadium and as high as a house.

This tsunami of rocks and earth charged towards Dante casing a shadow, high and wide. Threaten to end him.

However, despite the oncoming danger he remained unmoved, unshaken.

He slowly takes his left hand from his chest and aims it at charging mountain.

*INHALE*

*EXHALE*

[X-BURNER]

*VVVBOOMM*

A large and powerful explosion of flames erupted forth from his hand like a volcano. Stroming towards the avalanche like an untamed beast. Destroying everything in its path. Scorching the very land.

It smashes into the avalanche and with barely any effort, chews through it. Promising to do the same to what every lies in its path.

The flames finally claws through the last bit of rock. And appears upon the unsuspecting Isabella a distance away. Although her attack is powerful, it also restricts he vision and takes a tremendous toll to use. Now, she barely had any energy to move.

Yet the flames steamed forward, uncaring of the weak and helpless damsel in its way.

"FUCK"

*BOOM*

A huge explosion erupted, and steam rushed everywhere. Impeding everyone's view. Isabella's status, unknown.
