WALEED- I should have expected you to come to interfere.
BAIZHI- Why won't I? Actually, why won't someone be dealing with a clown who speedran getting fired for being a joke in the SP Forces?
WALEED- Don't you think you're a little overconfident? If you open your eyes a little, you will get a glimpse of my doings.
No shit, he actually managed to create a perfect plan to attack her.
BAIZHI- No wonder I kinda expect that ever since you tried to hide your doings just to sneak into SP Forces lol. I wonder why you even chose to be an SP with such a trash personality of yours?
WALEED- So that I can bring a change in this generation, where being less masculine has been normalised by people like you. Men are becoming weaker; they have been losing because their ego has been dying. And I will revive that.
BAIZHI- Like this? It doesn't bring a change at all.
WALEED- Terror always brings a change. (jumps at him with a punch)
BAIZHI- (shoots another flare to blind him)
WALEED- (closes his eyes)
BAIZHI- (reaches behind him) It never brings a change; it only brings dictatorship and unwanted control over people. (punches him off the road)
AMY- How the f**k did he-
OATMEAL- Impressive...
The liminal frequencies are similar to what I felt in the cave. Meaning it's a dead pixel form and weak to light and shader attacks.
Good thing my only resonic skill will help me get him pinned down.
WALEED- I wonder how you were able to even hit me.
BAIZHI- That's the thing. I'm better.
KYO- Hey-
POYRAZ- Did he just diss us (T-T)?
AMY- This random ass... only because he's an SP...
WALEED- Uh huh? Let's level up the heat then. (does a loud clap, getting his muscles expanded, becomes shirtless with abs, nerves bulging out as his eyes all black with cracks all over his face)
BAIZHI-(...)
WALEED- Lemme remind you, I'm not giving up today.
BAIZHI- Right...
WALEED- (jumps towards him with another punch)
BAIZHI- (tries to block but flies away, lands on the walls) Dang it.
WALEED- Take THIS!!!! (gets him through the wall with another punch)
BAIZHI- (lands somehow, dodges another attack of his)
WALEED- (kicks him) Keep dodging, bud. (another kick) Victory is gonna chase me anyway. (throws him up through the roof)
BAIZHI- (mid-air) Ugh... (eyes glow orange again, shoots another flare at him)
WALEED- (gets hit but doesn't burn him much)
BAIZHI- (lands on the roof) Huh??
WALEED- (lands too) Surprised?
How did this- Did the Liminality turn his skin even harder? How...
What if it change it's form to another one... I don't even have any skill which can help me identify the form...
WALEED- I'm seizing every single hope of victory from you. I even took the love of your life and crushed her so badly. (evil smirk)
BAIZHI- Bold of you to assume she was ever my love.
WALEED- Oh? Little boy got his first breakup, huh?
I swear to god.
WALEED- Don't worry, my moves will hurt less than her words. (dashes for another punch)
BAIZHI- (dodges but flies away with a follow-up kick)
WALEED- (jumps high, punches him from mid-air to the ground)
BAIZHI- (spits out blood as he crashes to the ground) Ugh...
WALEED- Face my eternal blow.
No... I don't need to die this quick...
WALEED- HAHA!!!!!! (jumps high)
My finger... is burning due to shooting flares at him...
WALEED- (dives towards him with another punch)
I... can't die this early...
I have a year left to prove something...
WALEED- (dashes at him with full speed)
If any warrior is listening to me... Please... trust me with your blessing...
I have a goal to fulfil...
WALEED- Goodbye, Baizhi. (almost reached him)
Please...
HEAR MY PRAYERS!!!!!!
(whole ground crushed with the impact of Waleed's blow)
WALEED- This is why you should fear me.
(smoke clears)
WALEED- HUH?
BAIZHI- Ugh... wait what- (realises his eyes are cyan along with the nerves on his arm, a shield stopping the impact of the punch)
WALEED- How... how did you...
What...
Did someone really hear me...?
[WARRIOR RESONUS HAS ACKNOWLEDGED YOUR PRAYERS, GRANTS YOU MASTERY 1 ECHO PULSE]
My... 2nd skill...?
WALEED- Ugh!!! (hits the shield with another punch)
BAIZHI- (rolls sideways before the shield breaks)
(ground shook again with another impact)
WALEED- You... are pissing me off now...
I can't believe Resonus agreed to grant me Echo Pulse...
But this isn't it.
WALEED- (dashes at him with another blow)
I need to prove to Resonus that I am worthy of his resonic skill.
BAIZHI- (dodges and flips behind)
How the hell do I use it tho-
.
[BAIZHI- Whoa... how did you manage to break the glass with a snap!!??
KAYVEY- Oh, this? Haha, the magic of sound, boy. [NAME: KAYVEY, GUILD LEADER OF THE SONIC HOLLOW, MASTERY 3 IN ECHO PULSE, A FORMER SP & NOTABLE PERSON IN REMISS CITY]
BAIZHI- I didn't expect that sound could be this lethal...
KAYVEY- (giggles) That's the thing, you never underestimate the power of sound. It keeps the potential of dismantling anything from the inside.
BAIZHI- I wish I could have this skill too... I only have Vivid Render...
KAYVEY- Ay, don't be sad about it. Wanna know a secret? Anyone can master Echo Pulse.
BAIZHI- Really??? How???
KAYVEY- Oh well, just follow your rhythm and then. (snaps to break another glass panel) You too can do this.]
.
Right...
All I have to do is...
WALEED- RAH!!!!!!!!! (dashes towards him with another punch)
To follow my rhythm.
BAIZHI- (dodges)
WALEED- Huh??
BAIZHI- (eyes glow cyan with a smirk on his face, does a snap to shoot a sound wave at his ears)
WALEED- (his ears explode with blood leaking out) AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
He reacted to sound... meaning...
BAIZHI- (to Amy and Kyo) Hey, you two. You're Mastery 2 Echo Pulse users, right?
KYO- Uh, yes?
AMY- So what?
BAIZHI- His current liminal form has changed from dead pixel to de-sync form. He's vulnerable to sound right now!! Use it on him!!
KYO- Huh?? What is he saying?
AMY- I don't know. But I don't think we have any other option than believing in him.
BAIZHI- Quick.
OATMEAL- Hey, you.
BAIZHI- Uh.
OATMEAL- You'd better hurry because I can see his vitals regenerating.
BAIZHI- Oh. (looks back)
WALEED- My- my ears!!!!! IT HURTS!!!!!!
OATMEAL- (looking at the panel) His rage is amplifying his power.
Right. Waleed is being powered by the combination of his own rage and the liminal curse.
WALEED- Die. (dashes at him for an uppercut)
BAIZHI- (blocks using the shield, but he flies away) Dang it... I am going out of range to use my attacks-
(a giant pillar comes out of the ground behind him)
BAIZHI- (lands on it) Huh? (looks down) Knight??
KNIGHT- (eyes glowing blue) Don't... lose... dawg...
[WARRIOR TECTONUS HAS ADMIRED HIS COMMITMENTS, GRANTS KNIGHT MASTERY 1 WORLD MASON]
He got World Mason????
BAIZHI- (notices Waleed) Uh.
WALEED- (coming towards him with another punch)
BAIZHI- F**k. (jumps high to dodge, lands on another pillar summoned by Knight) Hey, how did you manage to impress Tectonus???
KNIGHT- I don't know, bro, all I was trying to do was save Kae from his son of a b**ch.
BAIZHI- Ah.
This reminds me of a rumour saying that Tectonus seeks strict commitment from people who aim to achieve World Mason.
And if I know anything about this fella, it's that he always sticks to his commitments.
WALEED- (jumps high again to hit him)
BAIZHI- (jumps again, shooting another flare at him to blind him)
WALEED- AH!!!! MY EYES!!!!!!!
BAIZHI- (free falls) F**k.
KNIGHT- (summons a rock slide from the road for him)
BAIZHI- (slides down) Phew... I thought I was done for.
KNIGHT- This is why I told you to never sleep on leg day.
BAIZHI- Yeah yeah. (!!!!!)
WALEED- (towards Baizhi) RAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (gets punched by a rock pillar summoned from an existing pillar)
BAIZHI- Uh.
KNIGHT- Maybe let's focus on this idiot first.
BAIZHI- Right...
WALEED- I'm so... RAGED RIGHT NOW!!!!! (suddenly gets blasted by high-frequency noises) AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAIZHI- Uh..
KYO & AMY- (eyes glowing cyan, blasting high frequency at him) We got this!!
BAIZHI- Let's go!!! Uh.
WALEED- (tries to walk away)
BAIZHI- We need to keep him in place-
POYRAZ- (eyes glowing dark pink, summons 2 spikes to pin his leg down to the ground by stabbing it through his thighs and then his foot) I GOT THIS-
OATMEAL- (eyes glowing red and green, increases the ground's inter-particle around Waleed using Logic Weaver and slowing the time of descending using Soul Motion to form a quick-sand region) Agh... this is hard...
So that's how skills are combined... His expression is telling how hard it is to maintain this...
WALEED- You f**king pest. (about to hit Poyraz)
POYRAZ- HELP ME (TOT)!!!!!
DANMAN- (comes out of the debris to summon 2 sharp rock spikes, going through his arm from hand to shoulder) I... got this...
OTHERS- DANMAN!!!!!!!!
KYO- Hey, you... do something before we all collapse by fatigue...
AMY- Yeah...
BAIZHI- Ah right...
Despite getting his weakness, he still has a lot of resistance to resonic skills... I need to think of a way quickly...
Kill him? But that might break the no-kill policy.
Even if I want to kill him, both the Echo Pulse and Vivid Render is doing nothing but leaving a scratch at him...
C'mon...
...
Seems like there's only one option left.
BAIZHI- Knight, launch me up!!!!
KNIGHT- Huh?
BAIZHI- Just do it!!!!!!!
KNIGHT- (summons a pillar beneath Baizhi to launch him up)
WALEED- UH-
Doing this might cost me my life at my current strength...
But.
If I'm dying anyway, then let it happen like this.
BAIZHI- (eyes glow orange and cyan both, his nerves glow some orange and some cyan in his right arm, fingers aimed like a pistol, arm glowing more by each second)
WALEED- No...NO... NO!!!!!!!!!
BAIZHI- Farewell... Waleed... (shoots a supersonic beam made by interfering sound and light waves at him)
WALEED- NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(huge explosion all over the area)
