One moment heâd been riding the high of his own fumes. The next, heâs on the ground.
âUrgghhh,â he groans, his legs feeling as if heâs smashed them on a boulder, which he had. He hears Verai snap at him before the cave is once again filled with the clang of sword against steel.
âI havenât used that move before, okay?!â Kazuki snaps back, rolling and jumping to his feet. He dusts himself off. âMan, whatâs the point of being in a videogame if I canât do flashy shit?â
With his whining done, he returns to the fight. Back to the tried and true. He swings at the Duraludon with another FIRE PUNCH.

Pansear blinks at the giant trench-coated stranger. Said trench coat writhes with the fury and malicious energies of ten whole angry Patrat, all of them chittering and glaring him down with their glowing, beady eyes.
A sleeve is raised, reaching ominously toward him. Itâs quite shapely for a hand, and he canât see any fingers sticking out, but he can see a pair of eyes peeking at him from the hole. Pansearâs eyelids fall halfway, wondering just why this group would think heâd assume it was a hand.
He jumps, clinging to the strangerâs sleeve, before sticking his head through the hole and LICKing the face of the Patrat inside, causing the rat to squeal in fear and shoot back further into the trench coat. A flurry of squeaks that sound like <Ow!> <Get back in position!> and <Why are you covered in monkey drool?!> is heard as the trench coat starts shaking at a concerning rate.
PANSEAR USED LICK!

Kazuki comes barging in like a freight train fueled by hate and the feral energy of a dog with a piece of tinfoil.
Verai has picked up the slack in his absence, being chased down by the Duraludon. Cackling, Kazuki charges forwards, feeling refreshed and covered in his classâ signature fighting energy.
âIâM BACK!â He howls, before leaping and dropkicking the Duraludon.

He thinks heâs fond of the Precipice Shrine. He still doesnât consider it a shrine really, itâs a giant hole in the ground that sends you to fuck knows whereâNarnia, maybeâbut heâs spent the most time here. Sitting by its edge, alone, or with a certain blind man, it gives him a sense of peace.
Usually.
âKill, kill, kill,â Kazuki chants, to the disturbance of any nearby trainers. He stretches his arms, cracks his knuckles, and pops his neck. Once heâs all warmed up, he goes sprinting from the shrine, his mind narrowed down to a single objective.

His fists miss entirely. The noise of frustration that escapes him is loud, even as fatigue bears down on his body, here to collect.
The Duraludon lunges for him, ripping another chunk of his health. He can feel its sharp edges digging into his arms as he tries to block the next hit, but to no avail. Heâs on his last legs.
Verai manages a recovery, continuing the chain of attacks. The Duraludon is too busy trying to rip away Kazukiâs arms to retaliate, though it isnât a distraction Kazuki will be able to keep up for long.
âOh, what? You hungry? Maybe not hungry enough, you shitty little Gundam piece, Iâm still alive,â Kazuki taunts, trying to maintain its attention as Verai goes for the blind spots.

Verai lunges, the attack doing little before the Duraludon sends out a final strike, the movement of it harsh enough to dislodge Kazuki from its back, sending him stumbling back down on the floor.
âOh, you son of a bitch.â This is going to suck, he knows all too well, but just like the last time he fought a Duraludon, he needs to buy time, and deal whatever damage he can muster.
âEAT SHIT!â Kazuki lunges, going for another flurry of flaming hits.

Itâs chaos. The Duraludon throws Verai out of the ring, and small bursts of fire are being sent by Kitten nearby.
âIâve killed you before asshole, Iâll do it again!â Kazuki hollers, clinging to the back of the rampaging Duraludon as if it were some kind of rodeo pony. He has his arm locked around its throat the way he would with any opponent in the octagon, while his other hand repeatedly rams a flaming fist into the back of the overgrown lunch boxâs skull.
The Duraludon stomps the ground hard, too infuriated to care about how itâs damaging its own home. It was going to waste these fleshbags if it was the last thing it did.

Kazuki hisses in pain as massive claws scrape up his skin. His attack had done next to nothing, but he catches the glint of a sword beyond the Duraludon and grins. The glint turns into a swing, and he dives out of the way, leaving the Duraludon in the bladeâs direct path.
Another cry shakes the caveâs foundations, bits of rock and stalactite chips falling from above. A gash tracing the path of the sword has appeared on the Duraludonâs side, but the beast is far from felled. It stands strong, reeling back its jagged claws to aim for Verai.
Kazuki leaps, aiming his next hit for the back of its head. He doubts heâll do much damageâhis arm radiates pain with every movement, but they have to keep up the onslaught or theyâll never take it down.

Kazukiâs eyes narrow. He opens his mouth, about to say something, when the cave is flooded with an unholy roar.
âMOVE!â He hisses, using his grip on Verai to quite literally throw the man away, acting fast as a Duraludon claw comes crashing down in the spot theyâd been standing in, denting the floor of the cave.
The Duraludon screamed, rage burning fiercely in its eyes. The cave is its home, and after a grueling day of hunting and defending its territory, it isnât pleased to find two humans loitering so close to its nest.
Kazukiâs already littered with some wounds from prior battles. He launches a FIRE PUNCH, trying to chip away the armor.

âYour first move was to slam a sword into my bare chest, you have no footing in that argument,â Kazuki sniffs, despite knowing that the way he ended the fight wasânot exactly up to regulations. Not the ones heâs been trained to obey, at least.
Kitten is quick to jump on board the idea, with Verai following suit after he mentioned the ice cat. Hook, line, sinker.
But there is the matter of Veraiâs sight. Kazuki crosses his arms, thinking.
âYou wonât have to. Iâll be fighting with you, and Iâve got a shitload of fire types to deal with it.â Itâs not as exhilarating as fighting Verai as an opponent, but itâs still a battle.
He reaches out to grab Verai's face, squinting. âYouâve got to figure out how to fight blind, though. Have you trained at all?â

Kazuki huffed, watching Verai fold. âYou really will do anything for them, huh?â Itâs a trait that would be admired by many; very appropriate for a pokemon game; heroic, even. To Kazuki, though, he finds it concerning. An Achillesâ heel.
But Kitten is released, and Kazukiâs face pinches as his ears are assaulted by the full volume of her kitten salute. His brows rise when she immediately shoots an order at him. He laughs at the audacity. âSeems like someone hasn't taught you how to say please.â But heâs pulling out Sprigatitoâs ball, having already intended to let the cat out anyway.
He does take a moment to let the two talk, and alsoâto brace for Kittenâs tantrum.
Which does not come.
âEvolve?â He says, absolutely confused. His ears are still ringing, though. âThe man canât see. How is that evolving?â

Kazuki grins at the glare Verai casts his way. The first time he saw them, the ears did put him off, but now he admits theyâre kind of cute. On a testy grown man, hilariously enough. It makes messing with him almost irresistible. âBut stripping you is so fun. And it's the fastest way to kick your ass.â The last fight still lives on in his memory. He remembers being slammed with a sword and being crushed against a wall. His skin itches to relive it.
âWe should hit the arena again,â Kazuki says, radiating eagerness and impatience. âYou want to make me eat iron after last time, right?â And, as insurance: âThereâs also apparently this huge fucking ice cat there that you can fight, and theyâll give you a smaller version as a reward.â
Speak of the devil, Kitten wakes from her slumber and toddles over, doing the cat version of a potty dance as she asks what theyâre talking about. âWeâre talking about the arena. You remember that cabin? Where you and my catââ he has to stop and mindfully replace âplayâ with âfightâ ââfought together.â He honestly didn't recall how that fight even ended. Hadn't they fallen asleep in a pile? "Wanna go again?"

Kazuki chuckles, but does end up relenting his hold on Verai and letting the man shove several feet of distance between them. The music has already finished. The dance felt like it was gone in the blink of an eye.
At Veraiâs question, he looks them over. âWell, it doesnât look like they were curb stomped by a mack truck anymore.â His hand reaches over, knocking against the chest plate, which did seem less dented. âBut what does it matter? Iâll just wreck it again anyways,â he hums.

âI get that theyâre designed to act sentient, and that youâre hellbent on treating them like your own kids, but they are animals, you know,â Kazuki says, before pulling Verai up to him.
Verai, clearly uncomfortable or unaccustomed to thisâproximity, intimacy, or the fact heâs not trying to murder Kazukiâturns his face away. Kazukiâs brows rise, a smile sharp on his face.
âYou canât really stop instinct.â With his hand over his lower back, Kazuki dips him as expected, green eyes fixated on his face. âRight, Ver?â

Verai closes his eyes, which is an interesting choice for a dancing partner. Now it kind of looks like theyâre swaying him to sleep.
âHow can you not know? You practically raised her,â Kazuki snorts. âSpin.â Without gauging whether Verai is ready, he tugs the manâs hand up, spinning him around as the music continues trilling on by, the arrows under their feet blinking and fading to a happy tune. spawn reset
