Spring was one of three seasons the young Nakamura enjoyed. Winter was her least favorite since everything looked so dead and reminded her of of the time Hans had saved her. That day it was a blizzard and they were located near Naqut Town. The torture and harsh pain she had endured those two years. Her fiance was the one who saved her. The painful memories washed up like trahs along a beach shore now becoming fresh in her mind. The Rune Knight patrolled the streets of Era off duty. The higher ups put her on a vacation forcing her to get better after the coma and the head trauma. She never knew when to rest. LeeAnn rather keep busy and her mind off things since Hans has been keeping a sharp eye on her. Lately, she has been wanting to be alone and away from people. Normally, it was not like her to. She was quiet but enjoyed the company of someone and loud noise. Hans had to keep a sharp eye on her to make sure she didn't do anything drastic like the last few times. LeeAnn was reckless and was mentally drain and a ticking bomb to set off at any moment.

LeeAnn was good at putting a front on for those who she loves and remaining to herself. The Nakamura wore her Rune Knight armor hsowing her Seated Knight Class and had her long crimson hair in a high ponytail. She wore an eyepatch over her right eye with her left ghoul eye, black with a red ring. A few people she passed by gave her a strange look staring at her face. It wasn't the eyepatch. It was her infection. The right side of her face was a dark gray-purple almost black color that went down her face to covering her full right arm. Yeah she was used to this. The redhead only walked past the judging eyes and had her newly given companion padding along her side. Alaska, a mysterious Snow Vulpix, was given to her from her father as a surprise present. Her father was a lovely man and favorited her out of his three children. Hikaru, the middle child, had a special place in his heart, but LeeAnnw as the youngest and only girl. So her dad did favorite his only little girl. The only loving parent who cares forh her. Alaka stayed quiet and was fast on her four paws. "Usually, pets are...well....do something besides look pretty.
Alaska say something like a small yip would be nice" she requested. The stopped as the Snow Vulpix gave her a dead pan look and pressed forward. She was an odd vulpix, but she was extremely mischievous something about fox nature she was quite familiar with. LeeAnn let her was a few paces ahead of her still keeping a sharp eye on the fox. Until, she paused sniffing something. The Snow Vulpix looked back wanting LeeAnn to follow her. "Okay what are you doing" she muttered to herself. The vulpix padded forward and around the corner as LeeAnn ran behind her to catch up.

Spring time in Era, a great time for others, but with the falling pollen of the surrounding trees, it was a nightmare for someone with a keen sense of smell. A sneeze or two could be heard coming from Manzo's direction. The man could be seen wearing a black shirt, black cargo pants, black steel toed boots, and his white cloak. Nothing too out of the ordinary, a very predictable get-up. Though as Manzo perused the streets of Era, he could feel himself getting a case of the laser eyes. All eyes locked onto him for one reason or the other. He was a particularly new face in town. It made sense for others to gawk at someone or something new. He paid it very little attention, their thoughts of him were very minuscule in importance in the grand scheme of things.

As he turned the street corner he was met with an interesting sight. A solid white fox, that was a particularly new sight. Though it looked to be simply wandering around, it could be lost, or on the run from it's owner, who's to know. Though he'd be remise to let such an interesting specimen as this get away or harmed. He made a quick dash at seemingly break neck speeds for the common person in order to cut the fox off in the front. Following closely behind was a women with hair as red as fire. He quickly picked the fox up by the scruff to prevent her from getting away.
"This little scamp belong to you?"

Before Alaska could even get ahead, she was picked up by the scruff by another set of hands. It felt more rough than LeeAnn would of. The redhead's armor clanked then paused to finally see her companion was caught. Talk about a lucky break. Her face came full of relief. "Yes, she is. Thank you, I need to put a leash on her if she does this a lot" she said. LeeAnn already hinted that Alaska was new. The Snow Vulpix squirmed as she was handed back to her owner. In her arms, the fox wriggled out as she just hopped down. Calmly, she pawed Manzo for attention. It was perhaps she took a liking to this stranger. "Alaska. Alaska! Stop bothering him, we have to get going...Alaska" she said.

The fox refuse to listen. She sat with a cute look at her face and finally bark. "Vulpix" she quietly approved of this man and sat next to her foot. The redhead raised an eyebrow. She had a totodile in mind as a pet not a fox. Something new to her completely. This fox was as much of a mystery as her fiance. "Looks like she wont leave for some reason. I just got her. Sorry" she apologized. Honestly, LeeAnn didnt feel like she wanted to talk to anyone, but was forced into situations like this one all the time. That's what she got for marrying a kitsune.

Manzo chuckled at the attention seeking fox. "Foxes are rather finicky creatures.
Give her some time and she will grow on you." Manzo didn't care for the companionship of others, but a chance to observe this incredibly new creature was too great to pass up, so he would continue to make nice with the woman who owned her, it was the only way. Manzo bent down upon one knee, extending his hand to stroke the foxes head down to the back, as well as the tail. A snow white fox with multiple tails. Not something you see every day.

"I'm a bit of a wildlife buff, do you mind if I ask you where you got her?" He asked as he got back up from bended knee to meet the woman's eyes with his own. She seemed as disinterested in speaking with him, as he her. Though it truly mattered very little, he was intent on learning more about this fox, it seems that the world still had many secrets he wasn't aware of, it only further peaked his curiosity.

This man didn't mind Alaska. From what she had already seen, he was interested into her pet. When it came to raising animals, this was a bit different. She has learned how to use magic and weild a sworld. Everything, but learning the basics of having a pet. She knew to feed it and give it water with the basics like every other living organism. Marrying someone who was a kitsune was one this, but having a pet fox was another. Perhaps she needed to do some research since she had loaded of free time now. "True. I should expect that....I know how foxes are" she replied. Alaska loved the attention she was being given. She took mental notes on where the soft spots were.

He told her he was a bit of a wildlife nut. It seemed like it. Animals were an good conversation piece for anything and an ice breaker for almost anything. Not only that, he were so interesting. She could see why. Particularly, she never really thought about having an interesting in animals. She was always busy involved in herself and her family she never really thought about that. He asked her where she got this creature. A smile came upon her face thinking about her father. Clearly, remembering when she and Hans arrived home from a long day at the hospital yet again. There lied a note card and Alaska sleeping on the kitchen table. It was her father's doing and written a letter to her. "She was a gift from my father.
He had her ever since I left home last and has been waiting for me to get home for the surprise.
Though, he had to go back to Hargeon so I found her with a note card and a letter from my father.
He says this vulpix in particular is trained to help calm down anxiety. I have a severe case of it.
She really seems to like you. How did you get so good with them? Did you have any pets growing up" she would asked. Attempting to spark up a conversation since Alaska didn't want to leave from getting the attention.

What an interesting gift, he thought to himself. So this must but a new breed of fox. A vulplix she called it, he had never heard of such a creature before. Which only increased his interest further. He picked up the small fox cradling it in his arms, the vulpix began to nuzzle her face in Manzo's neck which was a good sign, her tail wagging away as he did so. "No, I didn't have any pets growing up. Well, none that I would consider pets. I grew up in the woods and back alleys. Gives you plenty of time to learn mannerism of each creature you come across." He placed the Vulpix back down on her four paws, though she still brushed up against his leg and jumped up for more attention.

"A very interesting gift, none the less though. Though I do wonder where he found her.
Vulpix aren't very common, nor are they known to be domesticated. And pro tip, though she is domesticated, she is still particularly fond of rough housing, still a little bit of the wild still in her heart it seems. The Vulpix still clamored for attention, it seemed as though she wasn't played with very often. Manzo extended his hand, creating a harmless ball of tangible darkness magic, he bounced it up and the Vulpix jumped and booped it back at him with her nose.

Alaska was just loving it. LeeAnn could tell the stress being away from her father andngavung a new owner could possibly made her very shy and wary of LeeAnn. It would take some more time to actually warm up to her. "Ah gotcha. We used to have a pet that was this large dog of a fire.element. Loved him. He was my father's. We have him until my dad said he ran away but I found out it was my mom who sold him because he was 'too messy'. Eh. I was pretty angry about that. I don't know much about them so I have to o some research" she replied. The young Nakamura stood there and saw how he just bonded with her companion. Such a small creature could be so cute and bring people smiles.

He said that this was not a common breed to have as a pet. Normally, they are very wild and like to rough house. It was needed for them to play with one another. She nodded. "That's what my dad told me. He had to.jump through hoops to get her he said. Where he got her no clue. Or maybe he did tame her himself. I dunno. She really hasn't come arouns with switching owners since she was taken care of by my dad for a while according to him. Perhaps it's the change..." she said. He saw her play with a little magic showing he was a darkness user. She kept note on that. The fire mage had an idea for Alaska to come around her. Something that had her father's scent. She pulled out her father's scarf from her backpack kneeling down after Alaska hopped the man's nose. It made her smile nonetheless. A small whistle came from her like her father had told.her to do in the instructions. "Alaska come here girl. Come here. Maybe an item that has my fathers scent on it would help" she said. She saw the fox slowly turn her head to her and sniff the air smelling something fimilar. She came closer as LeeAnn kept as.still as she could. The fox perked up and took the scarf holding it in her mouth. "That's some progress. My fathers scarf made her come around a little. I miss my father like she does. Man life is just harsh to us in this world" she said.

"Foxes are canines, as far as we know. So loyalty is big for them, often they will be very wary of new people or owners, unless around someone like them. She probably smells an animalistic scent on me. Which makes sense, I'm not entirely human. Got a little extra in me." He mentioned in passing, still very fixated on the fox. Though her comment about family was foreign to him. He had never had anything resembling a family, so it was hard for him to understand the concept of missing one's own family. For Manzo, he was all he had. He could never miss himself, so it was interesting to hear someone who had a genuine bond with their family speak about such things.

"Life can be very difficult, but judging by your suit of armor, difficult things are in your job discerption."

That did make more sense now that she really thought about it. Foxes were canines. According ot her fiance, a fox himself, well sorta, foxes were canines, but they were also very cat like with their hyper personality. Hans resembled that very much and they were extremely loyal. The comment on the animalistic scent made her ears perk up. The neko redhead looked at him as Alaska rolled in the scarf showing the true nature of a fox. This fox did make her miss her father and now her older brother, Hikaru. Those two were the most important people outside of Hans that she loved just as much as she loved Hans. She only looked at the armor. He mentioned that she probably knew that from the armor assuming already she was a Rune Knight. Taht was only the fraction of it.

"In some aspects yes, but its beyond even being a Rune Knight. Its society and my health. I have seen a lot over the years and let me tell you what life has shown me...its horrible. Makes me dread liviing sometimes. Innocents dying due to criminals and their selfish ways and many being torture just for the pleasure of hearing the screams. I know all too well...wounds heal, but scars never fade" she said. Remembering back to the day Hans had found her and saved her from that dreadful place, it made her shiver. Fire mages never shivered or felt cold. This was the first time she had ever felt cold. "Gives me chills just thinking about it. Reason why I aim to become strong,
to help those who are never heard. I saw your darkness magic or something along those lines. You must have experienced something that made you want to hurt someone" she said. Her only showing eye stared at the ground then met his eyes. LeeAnn was very wise, but was to honest with herself for some strange reason.

She questioned him about his Darkness magic, He wasn't entirely sure he wanted to be forthcoming about his true capability. Most people look at darkness users as some kind of villain, which admittedly he wasn't a paragon of virtue, but he wasn't truly evil either. More of a middle of the pack kind of person. Though he decided he would share his obtaining of his magic. There was no real harm in that, he didn't have to tell her what brand of darkness magic he used after all. He didn't truly trust her with that kind of information, nor did he really trust anyone to be completely honest. But this, this was virtually harmless in the grand scheme of things to be completely fair.

"Darkness magic is a good word for it I supposed. Though to be fair, I didn't choose the darkness. The darkness chose me. I wanted to protect myself from others, wanted to prove my worth to others, not for their praise but for myself. Darkness just called to me, and fit, I suppose you could say.
The darkness for me is cool and calming, it makes me feel safe."

To each their own.

That was a saying she followed. It was not her business to pry in his reasoning. Though, everyone has a story to tell big or small. LeeAnn could tell right away he didn't trust people and was hurt by them many times in the past, much like she was. Only each grow differently. Some choose to put a protective barrier as other just ignore them. In all honesty, she really did both. "Most people shun the darkness, to each their own. I just dont like being in the dark room by myself. I need some sort of light. Elements just choose the mage by personality.
It seems to fit you in my opinion. You seem the quiet type, much like me only...I do it a bit differently" she said.

The young Nakamura remembered how she was the only fire mage in the whole family of Lightning mages. Her father told her it was rare in their family, but it happens. She was always to break tradition and rules even being in the Rune Knights. "Perhaps once my health gets better, we should spar. You look like you could give me a rune for my money. I look for a good challenge. Want to eventually beat my older brother. Hikaru surely is strong, I will say" she smiled, showing a fire burning in her eyes.

"It's true, the way a magic chooses it's master is odd, I'd never thought in my wildest dreams I'd have the power that I have when I first tried my hand with darkness magic. The reward it gave me was, unimaginable. The beast chooses wisely I suppose you could say." Manzo was of course referring to his dragon slayer magic. It was still unknown to him how he was bestowed this kind of a gift. Often times he felt himself unworthy of such a thing, but that was just more self doubt creeping in. "But what about you miss, what magic chose you? If you don't mind me asking.
Feel free to decline if you'd like. I wouldn't trust a complete stranger with that kind of information either."

She smiled at the thought of her fire magic. She was a proud wielder and wizard because of it. Right from the start, she was a pyromaniac always setting things one fire around the house with matches or candles. Her parents had to make a rule of no fire in the house even when she master her fire magic it was a rule YET her brother could use his lightning magic without any problem. The neko would agree the magic chose the person which was a teroy they both seemed to have shared. "That I do agree upon, it helps define who you really are and how you use it is really up to you. No magi is bad its the use of it, not hte actual magic" she said. Alaska was now asleep on the ground wrapped up in her father's old scarf. LeeAnn picked up hte cute fox and held her in her arms like a little infant.

When the man asked her about her magic, it seemed he didn't want to be rude in asking. "Oh no its fine. I don't mind sharing. I use Seal of the Fox, a special brand of fire magic taught to me by a kitsune. I have always been fire even with just a few matches.
Though, it's really weird. I come from a long line of lightning mages and very rarely has any element outside of this has been learned. Fire has bee the only one. So guess I am a special snowflake. Fire fits me. It reminds me of being alive, having warmth, survival, a knowledge that you are still breathing. I never liked being alone at that night time or quietness. It feels lonely..empty and dead. Fire reminds me to stay alive" she smiled. It was an odd reason, but it was true in her mind. From the methods of torture she had went through and locked in a room for 2 years in pitch black with nothing but hearing the sounds of her bodily fliuds. That would drive anyone made.

"Fire is my true element. Pride,
Passion. Survival. And a lot more things I can't think about. Darkness reminds me of something mysterious nad unknown with the element of surprise" she smiled. After a few quiet moments, it dawned on her they didn't exchange names as a introduction. Yet again that this had happened again. Not hte first time nor would be the last she had lacked in manners. "Oh I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! I am LeeAnn Nakamura" she smiled, casually.

"My life was a very cold one, so I suppose you could say Darkness fits me, and my way of life. Life begins, and ends in darkness. We come from a dark place, to be put back in one in the end.
Most people are afraid of the darkness, not me.
Darkness, like every other element, is a weapon,
a tool." He said in closing to her magic comments. She was a strange girl, but at the end of the day he was a strange man and in no place to truly place down any amount of judgment. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, names Manzo. Don't got a last name."

It seemed life was not kind to the either of them at all. Day after day, she would stumble and fall with having no choice, but to get back up. In the end of the day, it was all for her father. To make her father happy again, a debt she felt she had to pay for since he gave his life to taking care of her after Hans had brought her home at last. Though, her father was the type to move forward even with the pain. LeeAnn was always stuck. Remaining in some space for a long time, forgetting who she is or was. There was a lot going on in that head of hers. Even she didn't understand what in the world was going on. He seemed to have this aura of a cold shadow society had casted onto them especially him. She listened carefully with every word.

He said his name was Manzo, with no last name. It was the first she has ever heard of this. Even if someone didn't have a last name, surely they would just make one up. Although, that was none of her business. There was probably something he found weird about her then. "Life seems to be rough to both of us. Have been called a sin, rocks thrown at me, told I was a shame to society....weak...all by people who thought it would be fun to pick on someone who looked different. Though I fought back, burned them at their own game and a few of their personal belongings. Taught them to not mess with a Nakamura" she said. She gestured to the gray-blue marking on the right side of her face and down her neck.

"Oh you poor dear babies."

The voice cooed out from nearby, a stranger turning from the near by corner. It belonged to a rather tall green fellow, the grin on his face one of amusement. "An emo and a-" his voice cut off as he looked at LeeAnn. "Dear Kame what the hell happened to your face?!" His voice held shock and disgust as his arms pulled back, his entire upper body leaning away from her as if desperate for space. "You look like half your face was put together with what was left in that foxes litter box dear God."

Recovering, he sighed. "Know what? Out of pity for both you dark souls who I'm sure just reached your rebellious stages, I'll skip the verbal confrontation and battle of wits which I'm sure would be as one sided as what's about to come." His arms spread, as if to display the temple that was his body. "My name is Cell. And I am going to drink you both."

Manzo turned his head to the direction in which the voice came from. What he was met with was a tall green fellow, some sort of failed science experiment gone loose. "Cell huh, so I'm guessing your some kind of biological monstrosity.
No offense of course. And or some kind of tall bastard in a really stupid costume. Either way." Manzo said with his arms crossed in and head cocked to the side in cells general direction.

"Let's get this freak show on the road. I don't have all day." Manzo said as he turned his full body in the direction of this walking talking, fish lipped freak show.

LeeAnn's cat ears perked up as so did Alaska's. All signals went as her anxiety perked screaming danger was right around the corner hearing a voice. She turned her head over with a single eye seeing something that was more of a monster than she was. This really made her thankful that she was not THAT ugly. Alaska looked at the creature and barked at it growling protecting the two of them. LeeAnn backed away with caution and flash backs of old memories from the days of torture. He sarcastically felt sorry for LeeAnn and Manzo making her curl her lips very cat-like. He would call Manzo emo and over react about her making her narrow her eye. Quickly, she grabbed her brown eyepatch and snapped it off showing her other eye that was orange with a symbol in it and a scar over that single eye. In particular she did not like showing her right eye at all,
but she had to for this. Who knows what this ugly fishman might do to her or Manzo."At least I don't look like a walking failed middle school science experiment!
At least I am engaged, you fucking asshole" she said in the coldest tone she could. Her eyes grew stone staring at this creature.

His arms stood open wide as if he was trying to invite the two of them to something like wanting to be hit. The last words make her eyes cringe. "Are you fucking crazy? Gods and I had better things to do than fight the Lizardman" she said. LeeAnn grew at least a good five meters away from Cell as so did her companion. The mana inside her made her puse with energy as she locked eyes on Cell. "Haze" was all she said. Intense heat grew making it grow hotter and harder to breath as the temperature felt like it was increasing. Making everyone feel like they were in an oven. It also made everything sight harder to see. She was prepared to dodge anything that came her way. As she also emitted her aura making her seemingly more energized and resistant to some attacks like she could last longer.

975/1000:

Seat Knight Aura:

"Let's get this freak show on the road. I don't have all day."

A few words that caused Cell to scoff, tilting his head up at the individual. "Oh I'm sorry, shouldn't you be back on the set of Orange is the New Black? I mean honestly," and as LeeAnn began to speak, Cell turned his attention back to her. The distance between himself and the woman was five meters, making the distance to Manzo more like six. The little fox dog thing was beside LeeAnn, making it also five meters away. "At least I don't look like a walking failed middle school science experiment! At least I am engaged, you fucking asshole," she yelled as Cell crossed his arms.

"Oh good, then he won't technically be a widow." With that done, the girl said a single word and caused the entire area around them to become intense with heat. Cell's eyes went wide, putting his hands up as if to surrender. "Woah there champ, I said I want to drink you. Don't go baking away everything there is. Things will get hot enough once you're both inside of me!"

Dropping his hands down as an ice cold frost built around his right one, they would both make a quick throwing motion. From this right hand formed a shard of ice that flung outwards towards the vulpix. The action was quick enough as it was, but with the haze making things difficult to see they wouldn't even notice it until the shard was part way towards them. There was likely nothing that any of them could do, neither dodging nor counter attacking, before the shard found its place embedded in the center of the animal, properly taking it out of commission.

"I've got to admit, that's become one of my favorites."

Mana: 1300/1400:

The battle had finally commenced, which was a relief all the passive aggressive trash talking was getting old much faster than the look of superiority on cells face. Manzo quickly cast a strength buffing spell on himself, raising his natural strength. Upon completion, Manzo was approximately 6 meters away from the beast in question. He quickly dashed towards cell at speeds of 8 m/s.

During the dash he began to gather Shadow Dragon Slayer magic in his palms. He quickly balled his fist up and struck at Cell from the blindside he had left open. While he knew it would not have great effect he was not about to go down without a fight.

Mana: 850/900:

LeeAnn quickly saw her pet go down with a simple ice shard. Seeing Alaska simply go down with one attack fumed her. The heat gotten even hotter out of anger thriving on the true emotion of it's caster. Things were now getting her angry and getting LeeAnn Angry was NOT the best idea. The Nakamura unsheathed her wolverine claw coming form the back of her. The young Neko simply had enough of this asshole. She then leaped onto a building's overhangs as Manzo was distracting him with a punch. The neko climbed quickly from edge to edge t to the roof top at D-rank speed making her produce no sound at all. Leaped form the building now behind that stupid creature. Without a sound she dashed and leaped off the building. In a small whisper, "Boast" she activated a D-rank self-buff strength spell with her claws showing and clung onto his back stabbbing her claws fully into his upper back side. With these claws shown, her strength would increase. "If you're gonna eat us.
I am gonna eat you!!!" she cried. She opened her mouth and took a large bit out of his skin. It tasted foul but luckily she her illness made her built and tastebuds act like a ghouls.

925/1000:

Neko Abilities:

Strength: 11 (original)+ 2 (20% of original strength stat due to claw ability) + 5 (self buff)= 18

A smile had crept on his face as the two seemed ready to act. Finally, there would be no more talking from them. Two things started to happen at once. Manzo chose to dash in towards Cell while, simultaneously, LeeAnn chose to run towards the buildings. Two completely different styles, but Cell was not one who could be taken lightly.

Within a single second, Manzo had closed the gap. Cell couldn't exactly pause and see Manzo's fist, but he could see that Manzo's body was twisted to the right, meaning a right fist was about to come. As he began to twist for the hook punch, Cell would interrupt the action with a quick jab of his left arm. The jab would go directly into Manzo's exposed throat, which would would make him both unable to breath and to feel as if he were choking. The blow itself was in an area that, even though Cell held back, would certainly cause him to collapse, if not also completely black out.

As Cell turned to face the buildings in which LeeAnn had run to climb up, Cell's tail pierced into the unconscious, or at least incapacitated, dragon slayer. As it began to drain him of mana, he saw that the girl had taken her time to climb up onto the roof, and was quite literally just then jumping towards Cell. The chances were that she had planned to time it all in accordance to Manzo's attack, but how could she have expected to climb to the rooftops of the nearby buildings so quickly? And then to run along them, at a slower speed than Manzo himself dashed? They had just met, and that was obvious in their lack of teamwork.

As she entered the air and got close, Cell would pull his right arm back as if he were preparing a punch. Upon her getting close, he shot his arm out with an open hand, grabbing her by the face and completely altering her momentum literally throw her backwards. The blow would be rough, possibly fracturing if not fully breaking her nose. She would, however, be conscious and perhaps even able to land it if she really was cat-like.

Standing straight and wiping his hand on his chest, Cell made a "Euuughh" sound. "Honestly, I wasn't expecting the Boy Band reject and Two-Face to fight, but here you both are full of surprises." Looking at his right hand with mild disgust, he let out a faint "Gotta wash that later."

"I gotta ask," Cell began, directed towards LeeAnn. "Are you a Prince? For some reason, you remind me of a Prince."

Mana:

Within a single blow Manzo could feel his source of air leaving him quickly. A punch directly to the throat, enough to stun him and make him feel like he was choking. Manzo began to gasp for air as he fell to his knees, powerless for the moment as he watched Cell direct his attention toward LeeAnn. Manzo crawled toward a building wall, propped himself up against the wall. Grasping at his throat and massaging it, desperately trying to get his throat to stop spasming to he could breath again. Internally he was swearing up and down at himself, infuriated that he left his throat exposed.

After a few moments he was able to get a bit of his wind back. Enough to bring him to his feet. Still staggering while trying to get his legs back under. Shortly after he heard what sounded like a crash. Manzo ran at full speed, still gasping for air, but running off of pure adrenaline, he had Cell and LeeAnn in his view, he would not slow down. Running at full B rank speed, Manzo gathered Shadow dragon slayer magic in both his fists and feet. He leapt forward, in a spiral motion, leading with his fist, if his fist made contact it would strike the back of his head, if his foot made contact it would strike his lower back.

Mana 800/900:

Her attack did not go as intended deal some sort of damage to her nose. It was fractured at most, but the adrenaline dimmed down the pain. This was nothing compared what she went through daily. Although, it did hurt like a bitch just she knew how to deal with it. Her blood was in a rush as blood dripped from her nose. She was thrown backwards as she did curl into a ball to keep the impact at minimal. LeeAnn stood up feel the pain even more now, but she was going to pull through. LeeAnn was a determined girl willing to fight tooth and nail. Stubborn and hard headed. Cell mention how he reminded her of a prince which made her smirk at that thought. "That's a new one. Its either been a parasite or ghoul. That's one I like a lot better.
perhaps I will give ou a run of your money and give you a good fight wont guarantee that it will be an easy one" she said. LeeAnn then lifted her head with a really wide and creepy smile. Seemed like she was a little nuts, LeeAnn started to laugh silenty with her shoulders heaving up and down then growing into a louder and louder until she sound phycaotic. Her eyes looked large and a smile that was not forgetable.

"Let's see who the real monster was" she said. She would cast fired around her slowly creating the heat to become almost unbearable around in a meter range. Heat waves slowly emitted into a fire fox-like tail right at her tail bone about a meter long. The heat slowly went back to the way it was before, hot and cooking. It felt like a hot summer's day that would make your ice cream melt. LeeAnn simply would charge at him aiming for the knees with her fire fox tail. She leaped about two meters away from Cell turning her body from a front view to back view allowing the tail to try to get to the knee caps. She met eyes with Manzo giving a smile as she would slide down looking over her shoulder in slow motion. Her eyes slowly closing hoping this would work either way one of them would try to hit him. Just one attack. One. One.

850/1000:

Manzo had taken the punch directly to the throat, not dodging it or blocking it at all. While this should have knocked him out completely, or made it impossible for him to continue at all, it seemed he pulled a miracle. That was where it ended, though. Cell's tail had gone into his back, through the ribs and piercing through one of his lungs. As the man tried desperately to crawl away, the tail would just move around the body, as well as wiggling the ribs and increasing the size of the hole inside of his lung. Even though the man had somehow not been knocked out, the pain from this alone would be enough to finish it and put him out through shock. On the bright side, it did let him drink a little bit extra.

With Manzo definitely unconscious, the draining stopped and Cell had recalled his tail. Turning to face him, a grin spread onto Cell's face. "Quite the fighter aren't you? Push through the pain- I can relate!" With that, Cell delivered a kick to his unconscious frame to send him away from the battle. While it seemed cruel, it only made sense. He was a tripping hazard if he remained. "That was a joke, the closest thing I've felt to damage since I got here was the aneurysm your failed insults caused, I mean come on."

"Let's see who the real monster was"

A sigh left Cell's lips. "Really? We're doing this again?" Turning, Cell caught LeeAnn just as she got close. She was a couple of meters away, her spell to make her hard to see actually doing its job and forcing him just another moment longer to locate her exact height. Leaping while rolling forward in the attempt to front handspring, Cell felt his feet get caught by the tail. LeeAnn would continue forward while Cell flipped forwards, landing on his hands and front flipping once to get back on his feet. With the momentum she had, the spin she made his body do only helped out.

Once he landed on his feet again, he turned to face her. "Okay, what was that?!" His voice held disbelief, as he looked at the girl who was now three or four meters away. "Did you throw your butt at me?" His words held a bit of bitterness to them, obviously offended. "Listen here Tokyo Ghoul, I don't know what made you think that was a good idea but we need to have a serious talk after this." With that, a grin found its way back to his face.

"But, you did land a hit. I'll commend that. You literally were so foolish that I did not see it coming. As a courtesy, any last words before I drink you?"
