A Fierce Student Battle
Team 12 proceeded through the forest, taking the previously prepared combat position they had come up with.
Aria then asked, "Do you think it would be a good idea to ambush Jason and his team?".
And Jack replied, "As Princess Misaki said before, it would be stupid of us to try and ambush that clever freak in a fight.".
And Elowen questioned, "Is he such a genius that it would be impossible to ambush him?"
Princess Misaki responded, "I wouldn't say impossible, but yes, it is.".
"I know Jason very well; he likes playing trick games to confuse his opponents," she went on.
Then Xavier responded, "I knew my cousin was smart.".
"But I never imagined him as a mastermind," Xavier continued.
"You guys are cousins?" Aria and Elowen asked, taken aback by the revelation.
"Yes," Xavier said.
"Well, he and my father were very close childhood friends," Xavier added.
"Maybe we should hold you hostage," Jack jokingly suggested.
"What? Why would I do that?" Princess Misaki asked, perplexed.
"Relax, your Highness. I was just joking," Jack replied nervously.
Xavier then joked, "That's a great idea."
"We should try that," he continued.
But then, Xavier's dark crimson eyes began to radiate slightly, warning him of an imminent attack. To which Xavier immediately reacted, activating his vector shield. And enlarging it to incorporate not only him but his entire team as well.
"Great job reacting quickly, Xavier," Princess Misaki remarked, unsheathing her katana.
"What's going on?" Elowen questioned, perplexed about the situation at hand.
But then an immense beam of energy burst forth, destroying everything in its path and shaking the earth beneath.
Fortunately, team 12 was safe thanks to Xavier's vector shield.
"What on earth is what???" Jack said, terrified.
And Princess Misaki responded, "That was an attack by Jason."
"That means that they're already here as we speak, to eliminate us," she elaborated.
Xavier, still holding his vector shield up, turned to Princess Misaki with a troubled expression and said, "Your Highness, I can only hold the shield up for a few more seconds."
"Why is that?" Princess Misaki inquired.
"Well, that's because of the glasses I'm wearing," Xavier explained.
"And they limit my use of my ability to use my gifted ability, which is to control vectors," Xavier stated.
"Because normally I would have been able to redirect that energy beam, but I am unable to because of these glasses.".
"But I am still able to use vectors to form a vector shield, but I won't be able to redirect attacks back.".
Princess Misaki paused for a minute before asking, "But are you still able to withstand another attack from Jason?"
And Xavier said, "Yes, your Highness.".
"But there is only one more attack before my barrier breaks," Xavier explained.
Princess Misaki then smirked confidently and added, "That's all we need.".
"Now continue to hold up your vector barrier," she said.
Princess Misaki then turned to everyone and said, "When Xavier's barrier breaks, we will all rush them without allowing them to rest or react."
And everyone replied, "Yes, Captain!"
Jason, walking from a distance with his companions, remarked mockingly, "Oops, my bad."
"I saw a centipede, so I had to kill it immediately because of how gross it looked.".
Princess Misaki smiled and said, "You're quite funny, Jason.".
"But that attack you had just thrown did no damage to us at all.".
"It only destroyed its surroundings, because otherwise, it is completely and utterly useless," Princess Misaki added mockingly.
Jason felt triggered by her comments, but he remained composed.
Jason smiled menacingly and replied, "Oh yeah?"
"Let's see if you can survive another one.".
Jason pointed his two fingers in the direction of Princess Misaki and her crew and then said:
-Ergokinesis Cannon.
Jason then fired a massive energy cannon toward Team 12, traveling at the speed of light.
As Jason's Ergokinesis cannon shook the ground, demolishing what remained, it came into contact with Xavier's vector shield. And Xavier's vector shield gradually cracked.
Jason then added more energy to his Ergokinesis Cannon, enhancing its deadly power.
Seeing that his barrier was gradually cracking, Xavier proceeded to pour more energy and concentration into his vector barrier as his dark crimson began to shine intensely.
As Jason's Ergokinesis Cannon faded away, Xavier's vector barrier shattered. Princess Misaki shouted, "Go, now!" as Team 12 rushed Jason's team.
Elowen used her innate abilities to immediately produce tree veins that sprung from the ground, immobilizing Jason and his squad.
Princess Misaki dashed forward at a rapid pace and sprang into the air to attack Jason with her katana. But suddenly, with a sneer on his face, Jason let out an outburst of energy, blasting Princess Misaki and the rest of Team 12 away.
"Nice try," Jason remarked, smiling.
Jason then released another rush of energy, this time with more power. And destroyed all of Elowen's tree veins, freeing him and his teammates.
Jupiter seized the opportunity, taking a little paintbrush from his pocket and writing the word "train" in the air.
Immediately after, a massive streamtrain collided with Xavier with tremendous force, separating him from the rest of his squad.
Jupiter then penned the word "horse" as a powerful and regal horse appeared before him, and he leaped on it and rode it toward Xavier's location.
Jason warmed up his body by stretching before rushing at Princess Misaki.
Princess Misaki, who was recovering from the blast Jason had discharged earlier, was not given time to react. Jason instantly threw a right hook at Princess Misaki's face, pushing her slightly back.
But Princess Misaki retaliated with a punch of her own.
Jason then attempted to punch Princess Misaki yet again, but she effortlessly evaded his strike and kicked him in the shin. But Jason threw a punch right after, unconcerned about the great pain the kick had caused him.
Fortunately, this time Princess Misaki was able to react and block Jason's strike. However, the sheer force of the blow destroyed the trees behind Princess Misaki, leaving her utterly speechless.
"You have monstrous strength, just like your father," Princess Misaki said in disbelief.
Jason smiled and responded, "I wouldn't say that myself."
"But I'm physically stronger than everyone here.".
"Including you, Your Highness," Jason added tauntingly.
Princess Misaki smiled back and grabbed Jason's arm, slamming him to the ground.
She then attempted to stomp on Jason's head, who immediately rolled away.
Princess Misaki conjured electricity at the tips of her fingers and sent a wave of lightning toward Jason as he stood back up.
To her surprise, Jason simply stood there calmly as the electricity she shot began to be absorbed by him.
"Electricity is another form of energy, so there's no point in even attempting to use your abilities against me," Jason remarked with arrogance.
"Because I'll just absorb it," he explained.
Princess Misaki didn't say anything as she infused her katana with lightning and threw it at Jason, who dodged it swiftly.
However, because her katana was infused with electricity, Princess Misaki used it as a teleportation point while transforming her entire body into pure electricity. And emerging right behind Jason, where her blade was.
"Wait. How'd you do that?" Jason wondered, surprised.
Princess Misaki then landed a spinning kick on Jason's neck, sending him flying and hitting a nearby tree.
"You almost broke my neck," Jason said, bleeding from his mouth and clutching his neck in pain.
Princess Misaki laughed and said, "Come on, is that all you got?"
Jason then dashed at Princess Misaki, engaging in intense and fierce hand-to-hand combat with her. However, Jason had failed to take into account that Princess Misaki had been trained in all forms of martial arts that were in her kingdom, the Great Empire of Japan.
And so, Princess Misaki quite effortlessly overpowered Jason because of their gap in experience and skill, despite Jason's tremendous power.
Jason, frustrated by the one-sided beating he was taking, instantly constructed a barrier around himself. And he absorbed energy from his surroundings, launching multiple destructive energy blasts in all directions.
Princess Misaki was repeatedly hit by the energy attacks Jason had fired, gravely wounding her, but she refused to give up.
Princess Misaki then produced an electrical chain to grab her katana, which was far away, and created another blade made entirely of lightning.
Princess Misaki started launching lightning attacks at an infuriated Jason, who was still bombarding her with countless energy blasts from a distance.
But it was all for nothing since Jason easily absorbed every attack she threw at him.
"There must be a limit to how much energy he can absorb," Princess Misaki hypothesized to herself.
"Well, there can only be one way to be sure," she continued.
Finally taking the fight seriously, Princess Misaki began channeling an insane amount of electricity around her as the clouds darkened like night and the thunderous roars surged.
Princess Misaki summoned the might of the heavens, summoning countless lightning bolts to strike Jason constantly.
Jason simply absorbed all of her strikes, but his body began to light up as he reached his limit of energy absorption. Before he would explode in a flash of energy and seriously injure himself.
When Jason realized what Princess Misaki was intending to do, he laughed and yelled in excitement, "Bring it on, your Highness!"
"Let me see if you truly are the genius they say you are!" he continued.
Princess Misaki smiled excitedly and responded, "You asked for it," before flying into the sky. As lightning storms began to strike the earth from all directions.
Princess Misaki's smile vanished as she pointed her katana skyward, and her attitude became more serious.
As the clouds swirled about like a whirlwind, Princess Misaki gazed down at Jason and yelled, "Heavenly Retribution: Hand of Judgement."
Shortly later, a massive titan hand formed entirely of lightning began plummeting to the ground, aiming to squash Jason like an ant.
Jason's body trembled with excitement and terror at the same time. But he regained his composure and began absorbing all of the possible energy he could absorb in his immediate proximity.
Gathering them, he forms a giant fist of pure energy to counter Princess Misaki's Hand of Judgment.
Jason released his massive energy fist, which collided with Princess Misaki's Hand of Judgment.
Back at the fight against Jason's other team members, Sophie, Emily, Darius, and Albert. Elowen, Jack, and Aria were having quite an intense battle against them.
Elowen then noticed that the clash between Jason and Princess Misaki was becoming more intense. And it seemed like their attacks were ready to explode at any moment.
Which, if true, would severely injure or potentially kill everyone there.
Then, Elowen immediately enveloped Jason's crew, Aria, Jack, and herself with reinforced tree veins. At that moment, Jason and Princess Misaki's attacks fused, creating a singularity.
A sudden massive explosion destroyed one-tenth of the entire forest, creating a colossal mushroom cloud that rose into the atmosphere.
