LLCIS returns to Akima’s body, and Tadashi regains control of his own.

  Akima: Shall we begin?

  Tadashi: Only if it’s right now.

  Tadashi immediately charges at Akima, preparing a Kairum punch. However, Akima dodges and lands a Black Punch on Tadashi.

  Tadashi: Not bad.

  Tadashi: Zero Gravity.

  Tadashi lifts Akima into the air, destabilizing him.

  Akima: Ahh… Shadow Transport.

  Akima vanishes using his shadow and launches his next attack.

  Akima: Thorn Territory.

  Spikes begin to emerge from the ground, rushing toward Tadashi.

  Tadashi: Gravity Cloak.

  The spikes start to veer away from Tadashi.

  Tadashi: Solar Gravity.

  An immense pressure of gravity descends upon the area, but Akima manages to break free.

  Akima: Shadow Cloak.

  Akima rises, and a brief exchange follows.

  Tadashi: How?

  Akima: From what I know… shadows don’t have gravity.

  LLCIS: These cloaks can only remain active for fifteen minutes… for now.

  Akima: Shadow Orbs.

  Tadashi: Gravity Punch: 1000.

  The orbs remain suspended in the air, invisible, yet under Akima’s control.

  Akima is launched far away by Tadashi’s punch.

  Akima: Boom.

  One of the orbs strikes Tadashi, sending him flying as well.

  The fight continues… until the cloaks wear off.

  Akima: Black Lightning.

  Tadashi: Wind Block.

  The wind manages to stop the lightning… normally. But not shadow-infused lightning.

  The attack hits Tadashi, granting Akima the victory.

  Akima: I like this…

  Tadashi: I like it even more, haha…
