Suddenly, a crack in the very earth is made. Your trick has finally been revealed! Seems a single clone of mine has shown me your multiple clones, as the real me comes forth like a breath exhaled from the very Earth. Blood, bones, tissues, they all become the same components: carbon, oxigen, hidrogen, nitrogen, and I manipulated them all to make a perfectly identical clone of mine. I even make steps out of the ground, as I make a theatrical march towards Tenkai. Xeru quickly unloads with a barrage of shots, yet all of them are stopped right in their tracks. Now Tenkai quickly stops making out with my decomposing clone and rushes in for the real deal, but I simply blow the entire area away with an incredible burst of wind.

By the time the wind settles yet again, I am nowhere to be found. Tenkai's clones are dropped like flies, but just when I am about to land the killing blow to Xeru, Tenkai appears, a huge grin in his face, and pierces my chest with his own fist. However, I return the grin, as I return the fist, this time to Xeru's loungue. Tenkai watches in disbelief, as his friend quickly fades away from conscieousness, then as I bearhug him, crushing his every bone, even with his fist sticked deep into my stomach. However, I am fully aware it is but a clone, as the real one still lurks around, so I stop playing and make it my meal, as I absorb every single molecule off of it, not even dust remaining. More than half of them are finished, and the rest shall be my meal: still, I must be careful, as the real Tenkai shall not have the mercy of joining my own body.

But now, something happened that I could not sense from underground. The sky is dropping snow! This is certainly interesting, most probably caused by an individual called Xeru, so I take my care analyzing the situation. Just then, I see it: even Tenkai has a slight problem, as he comically trips in the snow-covered ground. I laugh, yet right there, a snow particle enters my throat, and it's so cold it makes me puke. "That's official: Im going to end this Christmas" I shout, yet I am fully aware that, if this is Xeru's doing, he has only helped me. I quickly amass the wind around me, creating a bubble-like structure, that blows the snow away. I know this won't be stealthy, but in these conditions I have no options, yet I confidently rush in to savagely rip through more Tenkai clones.

PS: I hinted at the beggining of this with the clay clone

Jesus third time writing this. If posting fails again, *CENSORED*.

Thoughtfully, I ponder the situation. Vault's control over the environment never ceased to annoy me, and I know that this has to stop. Suddenly, I frown, stunned and annoyed that I hadn't thought of this sooner. Out of my bag, I pull out a handful of vials. I load them into my revolver once again, slightly disconcerted that this was around five times the required amount for a heavy downpour that could wash away roads, but I knew that this would result in our ultimate benefit. I shoot the vials up into the air, and watch for a few precious seconds as the sky tears apart--and water pours downwards, the incoming fury of God.

The weather inducing chemicals were already oversaturating the air above with moisture, and so I quickly fully expanded my bubble shield--this tool used by mountain climbers in avalanches expanded towards a complete sphere, allowing myself, and more importantly my gadgets, to be shielded from the deluge. Of course, this had been modified with microscopic cameras lining the outside of the shield, and I quickly flipped towards the camera aimed at Vault and Tenkai. My ally looked around, completely bemused, for the precious few seconds before the downpour hit, but Vault understood. A flash of annoyance darkened his face as he realized that under the water, his powers over the wind, especially with his limited energy, were all but nullified. The immense power of the water falling to the ground would completely overpower any other wind that he might be able to summon, and thus his remaining sizeable advantage over FACK would be checked. When the water hit, the two warriors could barely stand under the tons of fury battering down on them. But Tenkai, having fought many wars and had been injured in many of them, I had no doubt would be able to sustain the difficulty and pain much better than Vault.

The water hit the hill and slid off to the side in massive oceans, but it continued pouring down, and so the battlefield was pseudo submerged. The enourmous amounts of water that poured down obstructed almost all vision--but not quite. Vault's sword, a constant blackness, was able to be observed, for its blackness permeated the chaos. Smiling, I saw it parry, parry, and then lunge forward but evidently fail to connect as it was drawn back again to protect its owner. Vault could not see Tenkai, but Tenkai could see him by 'light' of his sword. Vault could not be relying on anything else besides the swish of incoming swords to protect himself. I allowed myself a brief moment of rest--Vault's control over the environment had been nullified, his vision obstructed, while Tenkai and myself could still see him through his sword. He's on the defensive.

Sitting back in my comfortable bubble, I pull out my laptop and continue working. The chaos should veil my presence for a while, and that probe was close to finish. Tenkai should be able to attack Vault, if not outright defeat, so long as Vault was unable to subvert the weather, a end by which I could see no means to achieve.

Wby are your attacks so long. Im not reading them. I will just wait for later to attack

constantly running in a circle around vault, i attacked with many, not powerful, but quick attacks to wear down his armor. if it were to be weakened enough the rain would cause considerable damage to him. not only that but surely this would stop vault from creating more clones as well, for they would be crushed upon creation.

i frown. "This isn't going to last near as long as i'd hoped." soon vault's armor was covered in small craters. i jump back as the rain starts falling harder and watch as it starts breaking his armor down.

"Water, ehh?" I muster, as Tenkai's attack slowly deteriorate my armor's condition. At this rate, I will have to fight naked.. Then, I realize it! I reunite all of my psychokinetic force, and form a small vortex around me, which keeps away the water for a while. Here, I can turn invisible in peace, and then divide the vortex into several smaller ones. Both Tenkai and Xeru are completely confused at this, as now they have no way to determine which one of them is the real one. The vortex suddenly speed up, and start rotating around Xeru's bubble.

Confused by my tactic, Tenkai decides to defend Xeru's position: twice I had gone invisible, and twice my target had been Xeru, yet in this case, he forgets about tending to his clones, which are suddenly the target of all of my vortex. Still, the current created by their rotation is so big, that not even Tenkai can swim fast enough to save them, as the vortex encase his last remainign clones, then reunite right at top of the real Tenkai, where I make myself visible, and absord his clones. My energy replenished, I made a practice slice, easily cutting right through the very ocean, directed at Tenkai. Still, this very slash cut the rotation short, and Tenkai could easily sidestep and dodge it, yet I grab his face and smash it against Xeru's bubble, as both let a sickening crack sound be heard across the ocean.

It all happened in a split second, yet it was enough exitement to be compared to an entire life (or a good night if youre one of those). The ocean soon retroceded to cover the entire land, but it's point against me is almost nonexistant: I have finally catched up to Tenkai, as he bleeds profusely from his head. Still, I am not done with him, as I roundhouse kick him upwards, and quickly shimmer my way back at him. Meanwhile, I leave Xeru to his fate: his bubble cracked, and an entire ocean crashing down on it. I can see Tenkai is still wobbly from his "meeting" with the bubble shield, as a fine red line of water follows his ascencion, soon broken by my arrival. As we reach the very heavens, I give a thriumphant cry, as I send a slash intending to cut Tenkai in half.

i spin to try and dodge, but not fast enough. vault's mighty swing went straight through two of my fingers on my left hand. the pain is...intoxicating. my adrenaline rises and i soon lose all feeling. with renewed strength i lunge at vault, catching him by suprise. i ram an elbow into his gut and leap up. my feet turn into blades and i kick at his chest. it lands successfuly, and i continue kicking at his chest as we fall fro, the sky. in an attempt to get me away from him vault stabs my shoulder, but i've already gone numb from excitement and send us both crashing into the ocean.

Tenkai and I trade blows. His fingers seem to drop by the dozen, yet he keeps hurting me. However, the exitement is too much, as even he ignores the pain of my attacks. As we fall from the sky, I pierce him in the shoulder, and I see how he does not react to it, so I use it to turn his body, so Tenkai is the one to crash into the water. But at the speed and force that we are, hitting the water feels the same as hitting concrete: Tenkai doesn't even sink in the moment, giving me the time to punch him square in the face, this time sending him deep into the ocean, knocked out cold. I take this moment to regenerate my wounds, but I know that either way, this battle is going to the same conclusion.

With this in mind, I take to the skies yet again. I have had enough of the water, as I fly around, and finally find some ground to stand on. I then proceed to punch through it. With this, the water flees from the land we have been fighting on, finally revealing some earth: even the Hill is visible now. I stand right here, stick my blade in the middle, and jump into the ocean yet again, seeking my hot-blooded rival.

None of you said 'my hill' at the end

That's because this is a long battle for the hill. As in looooong LOOOOONG battle xD

i wake up finding myself on top of the hill. looking around i see no sign of my enemy, but i know he isn't finished. i take this moment to take something i had been saving for such a moment: a medicine that duo made from reptile DNA. it burns as it goes down my throat, and my injuries are healed. i look at my hands, "All 10." , i say. i flex my hands a wait for my opponent.
