Seven Heroes Redux

Slade was running at over 20,000 km/h. Now every building was collapsing from the intense air current. She cut their base and started throwing them at Yuto. First, a house. Then, a major building. A skyscraper. Now, a whole neighborhood.

It was not even hard for her. While the objects were in the air, she threw another thousand slashes in different directions. Yuto could only dodge them because he catched them for a second. It was getting even harder to hold them.

Shit, she's destroying the whole city! I need to get us out of here, but I can't distract myself, or...

Slade cut a giant circle on the ground in less than a second. It was big enough to take 5% of the city. She stepped on one border, making the other rise. She took it with her right hand, since she used the red katana on the left, and threw it towards Yuto.

He catched the new island with a bit of difficult, since he was also dodging other attacks. Suddenly, they stopped. Something penetrated the giant object. It was slicing it in two. Yuto couldn't hold it together, so it tore apart.

Slade appeared spinning vertically with his sword, cutting everything in her path. He couldn't react in time. She cut off Yuto's left arm. Healing an entire arm with just his 7-Up would take at least a few dozen minutes, while resting.

Slade was still falling from her dash.

— Looks like this is your limit, Yu-chan. I will take it easier now if you want.

Yuto immediately used his gravity on Slade, launching her to the side for around one hundred kilometers. Even though the damage was already done, he could still save millions. He also launched himself to her direction.

Since he forced himself too much, he couldn't land properly. He rolled on the ground for a few hundred meters before stopping. They were now in a mountain in the forest, far from any civilization.

— Yu-chan, why the change of scenery? Ah, I get it! You like variety in fights!

Yuto pushed himself up with one hand. He was starting to feel a slight pain. The 7-Up had eased most of it, but it was still noticeable.

— Yu-chan, I can help you with that.

Slade approached him and placed her hand on his missing arm. He felt pain in that, but it suddenly stopped. A black liquid came from her hand and it turned into a new arm. Even the shirt's sleeve returned.

What is this?! It's inside of me now, isn't it? What if it takes my mind?

— Don't worry, Yu-chan! I could control you from inside, but I would never do that, since you're my special!

That doesn't calm me down at all!

— Alright, do you want to resume our fight? Ah, first, what did you think? Am I stronger than before?

Yuto stared at her in disbelief. He thought he didn't even need to answer it, since it was obvious.

— That's good to know! I kept training to surpass that bitch since she insulted me!

— Who?

— Your sister! She said she would kill me if I became your girlfriend. I'm so glad the hard training worked out!

— What? You must be lying...

— I would never lie to you, my love! She almost killed me after the festival. If she was still alive, I would love to make her pay!

Yuto didn't want to believe what he had just heard. His strong and responsible sister would never hurt a friend of her brother so badly.

— Do you want me to take it easier now? I can always adjust my level for you-

He didn't think twice. His new arm was now through her head, just like his sister did with an innocent officer. But her body didn't lose balance.

— You won't be able to regenerate if I keep my arm inside you, right?!

He was right. The hole in her head was still there. She gently took his arm and pushed it away.

— Yu-chan, this makes the fight boring. Are you sure you don't want to take this more seriously-

Yuto used his supreme gravity in her. Her body disappeared, just like the ground below her. A few meters of empty air was left, just like a well. He looked down. Her sword was still intact. The black liquid started materializing her again.

He didn't stop looking at her, but she was already behind him.

— Looks like your supreme gravity is a lot stronger, Yu-chan. But you won't damage me like that.

This can't be right! Her body vaporized, how is she still alive? I can't let a single molecule survive!

Yuto turned around quickly and kicked her to the sky. He flew towards her and punched her down. He arrived before her and touched her back with the palm of his hand. He forced her towards the mountain. Her body pierced it faster than 20 times the speed of sound.

A giant hole was made in the mountain, bigger the closer it was to Yuto. He then used his power backwards, pulling her towards him at the same speed. He punched her head and kicked her up again.

At a few hundred kilometers in the sky, Yuto kicked her down as hard as he could. She reached the surface in one second. A giant explosion destroyed everything in the landscape. In addition, he channeled his supreme gravity to erase the entire landscape.

After some seconds, it was done. The cylinder of mass destruction smashed the ground, making the air turn into vacuum until it was filled again. Yuto didn't want to leave one molecule behind. The wasteland was so big that it almost reached the horizon.

He felt like vomiting, as he had strained his power beyond measure. He waited in the sky until the air was safe enough to breathe. He could grab some air from anywhere and keep it around his head, like an astronaut's suit. But he was a little tired, so waiting was the safest option.

Suddenly, a barrage of slashes came towards him. He flew as quickly as he could to another green area, but one of the attacks cut his right foot away. While he was falling, Slade kicked him a few kilometers away, sending thousands of slashes again.

Yuto forced himself down, opting for the underground. He was digging his way with supreme gravity. Slade threw giant slashes in a triangular form. The ground was divided like a slice of pizza. She grabbed the island with her bare hand and threw it to the sky. 

She also took many lesser islands and launched them. She started running in circles again, even faster than before. 27,000 km/h, 40,000 km/h... The tornado became big enough to rip apart any living being remotely close to it.

Slade launched herself towards the giant island while the tornado was still working. She threw slashes from every direction, making it tear apart. Yuto finally got out of it and started jumping on each lesser island to reach Slade. She was also jumping so quickly that the human eye couldn't see.

He landed a punch in her stomach. Meanwhile, she healed his foot.

What?! She can still pay attention to my injury while we're at this speed?

Yuto took the chance and supported his body by stepping on her, launching both of them in opposite directions. While Slade was falling, she threw another hundred slashes. He tried to catch them with his power, but they were too strong. He quickly forced his way down to the surface. His power was so intense that his head took damage from it.

Slade threw slashes through the trees to distract Yuto and grabbed his leg. She swung his body and launched him a few dozen kilometers away. He was now in a small town.

Shit, I didn't know there cities in this area! Well, we travelled hundreds of kilometers in a few minutes...

Slade appeared behind.

— Let's see if your body can take this, Yu-chan.

She was smiling even more than before. He turned around quickly, but her attack was faster. A diagonal slash. It cut Yuto's left arm again and his left leg.

What is this? She's becoming faster and stronger!

She healed him immediately, before he could even do anything. He looked back to see the damage from the slash. It cut through the entire scenery behind him. The city, the forest, the mountains, even the clouds. Maybe it could reach into space.

He used his supreme gravity upwards in Slade. A block of asphalt launched her into the sky. She cut through it, but Yuto used the distraction to punch her in the face. She was sent far away, but could still send a thousand slashes towards him. Some were faster than the others, so his arms were sliced again.

Yuto had a limitation to his power. If he used it too much, his vision would become blurrier.
