art 24 - This Party is still not over yet.
Music -
Portal - OST Version Everyone had finished their fights, Lerafa, Vergil, Blanc, Akina, Noire and Midori landed safely on the ground. Neptune and Vert could feel their conciouness returning thanks to Darklight Zero's death.

Akina: ...
Akina was back to normal, the wound closed, leaving only a scar. All her powers returned, but she could feel something more.

Akina: (It seems that after Darklight Zero took control of me, i absorbed some of his powers...Not only that, i can feel my Death powers stronger than before...maybe it's because i kept using them at full power when i was being controlled...)

Akina: (I won't be engulfed by this power. I'll keep being myself...being Akina Byakko.)

Setsuko: Akina! Everyone!

Akina: Hi!

Lune: Seriously, worrying us like that.


Quattro and Tetsuya: ...

Kouji: Welcome back!

Amuro: You all did well...

Lerafa: So did you.

Neptune: I feel like celebrating.

Vergil: Count me out!

Shinn: (He rejected fast.)

Mark: (This guy really doesn't like our company.)

Midori: That seems like a good idea.

Noire: You of all people saying that?

Midori: What? I'm not grumpy all the time. I'm human too you know.

Blanc: Hmph...it seems you two get along too well.


Noire and Midori: You got the wrong idea.

Kira: Don't try to hide it, it's all too obvious.

IF: Too bad we could only watch, right Compa?

Compa: Yes, but we were always rooting for you all.

Akina: Gee...thanks!

Kamille: After all we went through, we deserve it.

Midori: I guess it's time to authorize the Construction Team to get into work then?

Akina: Yes, it is. We still have many ordeals after this.
???: Not for you!
Music:
An Absolute Desperate Situation
Injya: HYAAAAAAA!!!
Injya grabs Akina by the collar, and runs through a portal she opened, carrying Akina with her.

Quattro: Tch...we were distracted.

Neptune: AKINA-CHAN!
Multiversal Space
Akina: Argh!
She was thrown foward, but recovered her balance in mid air.

Injya: I still need to fullfil at least one of my missions.

Akina: Stop Injya, you should return!

Injya: NO! I need to bring happiness to Princess Peach by capturing you!

Akina: Injya...

Injya: There's no need in trying to convice me otherwise, in war, we fight in what we believe in. The truth going to the victor, you should know that more than myself! Now, prepare yourself!
Music:
PROUD
Akina: Alright then...we need to settle this once and for all!
She pulls out her beam saber, and both girls lunge at each other at high speeds, trading blows without hitting each other. Both tried to overwhelm the other with their high speeds, but it was at a stalemate, even with Injya's ability to do short teleport burst.

Injya:
DAGGER ATRS- STORM OF BLADES!!! Injya throws energy knives at Akina, who blocks them all and avoid a flying kick to the face.

Akina: Tch!

Injya: I'm going all out this time! With no mercy!
She pulls two knives and starts assault Akina once more. She decides to play defensively.

Injya: HYAAAAAAA!!!

Akina: (She shows no openings...way diferently from before.)

Injya:
STING SHOT! She summons her Rifle Shotgun and tries to shot Akina up close, who backs away quickly.

Injya:
TAKE THIS!!! Injya bolts ahead like a meteor, with her fist chanelling a great amount of energy.

Akina: (There's no way i can block that.)
Akina had to endure the pain anyway, but to her surprise, she was unharmed. When both girls notices, Akina's arms were surrounded by a familiar aura.

Injya: No freaking way...

Akina: T-This...Dark Spike? Why i have this?

Injya: This is both convenient and incovenient...

Akina: (It's true, after all, she wanted to capture Zero)
She decided to combo Akina once more, but she was able to block her powerful blows.

Akina: This kinda ironic, me being helped by the very power that made me suffer.

Injya: Tch...

Akina: (But i still can't find an opening...we're basically on the same level here...)

Injya:
MAXIMUM ARTS - BLADES AND BULLETS! Injya powered herself up, then started to spam her teleport move, throwing knives from all directions, as well as shots from her Rifle Shotgun.

Akina: Alright beam saber, don't fail me now, i can't exactly spin you to deflect stuff.
Akina skillfully dodged the insane onslaught of shots and knives, as well as blocking some of them with her saber and the Dark Spike, but they were too much, as she eventually got hit by some. It was Injya's cue to go close ranged again.

Injya: I'll beat you to the ground!
She violently comboes Akina yet again, punching and slashing the World Traveler. Injya wasn't showing mercy. Her comical side was pretty much non-existent.

Akina: Argh...

Injya: So, even at your full, you still can't defeat me.

Akina: Who ever said i was losing? Now that i'm at full power, i can take more beatings like this!

Injya: Is that so? Then i'll have to hit you harder.
Injya kicks Akina away, then shots her once more with her Rifle Shotgun, but Akina blocks it.

Akina: Urgh... (If it keeps like this, i might not last long...i'm still quite nauseous from the blood loss...)

Injya: Don't space out!

Akina: I'm not!
Akina parries a blow from Injya's knives. Then, she remembered something from her battle against Noire and Midori.

Akina: Here goes nothing!!!
She deacitaves her beam saber, making Injya lose her balance, then, it was finally her turn to get beaten by many punches and kicks, who were being powered by the Dark Spike.

Injya: GARGH!!!

Akina: TAKE THIS!
Akina kicks Injya away. Both girls show signs of fatigue already.

Akina: Sorry for making you wanting to leave...i'm just in a bad condition as yours.

Injya: Shut up! It doesn't matter anymore.

Akina: (We'll end up killing each other if we keep it up...the next trade of blows might just end up in a stalemate again...plus, since we'll be fainted in the middle of space, our Dimensional Drives won't be protecting us from drifiting away...)

Injya: I won't lose...in the name of the princess...i won't lose...

Akina: (This Dark Spike was of great help...but i don't think it will keep saving me forever...But...why i'm able to use this?)

Injya: Prepare your strongest attack, we'll settle this right now! And it has to be your death powers.

Akina: Are you serious? (You know i can't...)

Injya: Despite my loyality to the princess, i don't want an empty victory against you.

Akina: What? (You really stupid...Just like me...)

Injya: Exactly what you heard, now prepare yourself!

Akina: Instead of that, how about i use both the Power of Destruction and my Death Powers? (If i can use the Dark spike, who knows?)

Injya: Don't try to bluff, you just activated Zero's power, do you think you can use them to their fullest?

Akina: I was controlled by Zero, i (think) i know what i'm doing.

Injya: I see...but if i notice that you can't, you'll shoot you before you can keep trying, you see, i don't have much time before your friends destroys the Dimensional Locks.

Akina: (This explains why Lerry and Midori-Senpai come earlier...) I promise you, i'll do it! Prepare to be amazed!

Akina: Darkness of Destruction, give me power!
Tapping unto the Darkness of Zero, Akina powers up, then, tapping unto her Death Power, she summoned the Death Scythe, not only that, but she also used her Dimensional Traveler power, uniting all the three powers, Akina was way stronger than she was before.

Injya: W-what?

Akina: I...actually did it... (Ooops, i need to finish right at this second...can't let me Death Power be activated for too long...)

Injya: Grrrr....AKINA!

Akina: INJYA!!!
Music:
The Final Round
Injya:
RIFLE ULTIMATE ART - DIMENSION BUSTER!!! Injya put all her power into a last shot, but Akina blocked the attack, was dragged by it, but managed to break free from it.

Injya: !!!

Akina:
Death Judgement! She flies ahead, at high speeds, then, slashes Injya, the scyhte passed through her, but no wound was made aparent.
Music:
The Ending
Injya: Heh...it seems this is my end...

Akina: No, not at all.

Injya: !!!

Akina: I don't kill people...

Injya: But...

Akina: Look, everyone have their time to die...and so much to live...you still want to serve the princess right?

Injya: Wha...

Akina: I still left you some energy, the sufficient for you to go back...

Injya: You...

Akina: Let us do battle again in the near future, okay?

Injya: Alright then...Akina Byakko, The Red Shinigami, and Fael's Trusty Bodyguard...i'll accept the challenge...

Akina: Have a nice trip Injya, The Shadow Gunslinger, and Servant of Princess Peach.

Injya: Good-bye.
Injya leaves, admiting defeat. Akina keeps waving her hand until she loses sight of Injya.

Fall: Hey! Isn't that Aki-chan?

Fel: Seems like it.

Akina: Oh, you guys came quite late.

Fall: Not really, our party was just in a diferent location.

Fel: How's my brother?

Akina: He's fine...everything is fine...

Akina: My mission is complete...i can finally...
Akina faints, Fall and Fel immidietally grabbed her, as her Dimensional Drive would be deactivated if she was fainted, so she wouldn't drift off. Fel asked himself why he could feel Zero's power in her. But soon forgot about it, as both him and Fall noticed how peaceful her expression was when she was sleeping.
