Sector ???

"Hey, are you awake yet? "

"Let me be, I still want to…"

"Now now, you already slept enough, it about time"

"Fine, just a little more"

"Okay, then I will have to say my farewell in your dream"

"Whatever…. Wait, what do you mean farewell?"

"I mean you lost our little challenge~"

"Wait… hold on, isn't it too early? I need more time!"

"Hir, you had more than enough"

"But!..."

"The next in line has already took her place"

"The next in line? But you are-"

"Fading… listen, Hir, I… I told you I didn't have much time, this was going to happen either way"

"but… Vee… I… I still!...."

"Hir, I'm sorry you had to suffer because of me"

"No… not like this… it's too sudden…"

"Hir… thank you… farewell"

...

The red light swirled around one point, slowly reducing in size then vanishing. Dust settled down as Lilia, Logan and Hir had their eyes fixed on the crater formed by the blast from one heavy battle suit.

"Maaaan! This shit tastes bad!"

Everyone had their eyes fixed on the crater, or rather, the man standing at its center. Smoke raising from all over his body, white hair flowing upwards. A faint red color glowed from his skin and red energy overflowed from his eyes.

"HEY LOGAN!!"

Startled by the sudden call of his name the fur covered humanoid tiger piloting the heavy suit responded to his boss in a shaking voice

"Y-yes… captain…"

"GIMMI ANOTHER ONE!!!!"

Logan was confused as to what that meant, but he soon started to understand

"Y-yes!!" he pressed one of the buttons to release the empty cartridge, automatically loading a new one.

'When he said that bit about something tasting bad he was talking about the blast right?' Logan hesitated "em… captain… are you sure…"

"JUST DO IT!!!"

Click!

And another blast fired, just to swirl around the exact same point then disappear.

"Maaan, this gonna make me vomit" Seven was leaning forward with his hands on his knees. Spitting once he shook his head then looked up at the clan head who had an expression saying he didn't know how a human was still there after receiving two whole blasts of that caliber.

What was left of his clothes was burned, nothing was conveniently left in the areas he's not supposed to show in public. Logan facepalmed himself at the sight, Hir tried to keep his eyes on his target so he wouldn't get taken by surprise and Lilia, her brain was on fire as she recalled the events that happened in her room before their capture.

"Lilia… just wait one-!" his cheeks suddenly bulged, the next moment he was no longer standing in his place

Hir reacted fast, turning around and guarding his himself with both arms. Seven who made it look like he teleported behind him directed one swing of his armored arm at the guy and buried him into the ceiling.

then as if no longer able to hold it inside he opened his mouth releasing a dark crimson beam obliterating were the clan head was.

"much better…" Seven whipped the droll with his forearm as he stood straight. Noticing it somewhat late he looked up to find that the attack he released had penetrated a hole into the ship and everything inside the arena is being s.u.c.k.e.d into space.

"LOGAN!! GET LILIA AND LEAVE THIS PLACE!!"

By the time he finished his order Logan was already on the move. Contrary to the speed of its movement the mech he's riding weights several tons. He caught Lilia before at the right time just before the seat she held onto was torn apart, then used another blast to increase the size of the entrance Lilia cane from to fit their ride.

"Captain!" shouted Logan, throwing something at Seven with enough power for it to resist the vacuum and arrive to his hands "this will have to do for now! Sorry I didn't consider this would happen"

It was a small metal case with a few things Seven couldn't tell what they were, but one thing stood up and it was most likely what Logan wanted him to have.

It was a pilot suit. Right now Seven was stark n.a.k.e.d so it came at the right moment even though it looked uncomfortable to wear without u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r.

Although he was the closest to the hole and is supposed to be the one in most danger, he wasn't moving an inch. All those years watching a certain blond ninja thought him one or two thing, he tried it as a joke back on Gorgola but know he found out he could stick to walls when by channeling some of the energy he absorbed into the bottom of his feet.

Well, the concept is somewhat the same but it's more like he is releasing an electromagnetic field to glue himself to the metallic surface. And he is doing it so subconsciously that be is able to wear the pilot suit without accidentally getting s.u.c.k.e.d into space.

After a few seconds hexagon shaped light panels started to form around the edges, evidently sealing the hole.

Leaving his upper half uncovered, Seven tied the suit's sleeves around his waist and hopped a few times to make sure it wont fall off when things get intense.

"You done yet?" Seven asked.

"Just one moment… all right" just done with regenerating his left arm and leg the clan head stepped forward " you mind tossing me one of those disks?"

"Sure…"

Seven picked up one of the several fist sized disks in the metallic case and tossed it to Hir, who after catching went and placed right below his abs. The disk transformed into a belt that wrapped itself around his waist from it several threads appeared weaving themselves into a tight fitting shorts.

"Wow, those things sure are convenient" Seven said, realizing he picked up the wrong item.

"Well, gotta have some public decency"

Hir survived Seven's last attack but almost lost his entire left side, and although he managed to regenerate everything in time he was also left with nothing to cover his embarrassing parts.

"speaking of decency" Hir spoke while stretching his newly regrown limbs "accepting help during a one on one duel, do you have no shame?"

"Huuuuuh!!? What are you talkin' about, furball?" provoked by Hir's statement Seven ascended several levels on the pissed off meter "you talk about shame? You came with your thug army tryin' to take my money and my property, AND NOW YOU SPEAK OF DECENCY!!?" He stumped on the floor again and again quacking the whole mothership each time "AND THE TIME YOU CHOSE TO REVEAL YOUR HAIRY A.S.S!! COULDN'T YOU JUST WAIT SOMEWHERE UNTIL I CAME TO KICK IT? YOU HAD TO INTERRUPT US JUST WHEN WE WERE FINALLY ABOUT TO DO IT!!?"

"what are you-"

"AAAAAH! F.U.C.K IT" Seven snapped at the clan head who didn't even understand what he was talking about "my wife is waiting, I'm gonna finish you real quick" his expression became serious as he lowered his voice, moving at almost sound speed.

He went straight for Hir's face planning to plant his leg into it, but the clean head was able to follow his movements and managed to avoid the hit.

He caught seven by the legs and threw him toward the wall then followed after him to deliver the next attack, ducking halfway to avoid two beams Seven shot from his eyes.

"How does superman even do this shit! I can't see a thing after I let it out!!" Seven said while rubbing his eyes then blinking repeatedly.

Seeing that as an opening Hir targeted his side, but Seven caught him the same as he did with him before, slamming him on the floor twice before throwing him into the wall.

"If the eyes won't do, then I guess…" he opened his mouth wide, a small orb started to form in it. He pulled his head back as he took a deep breath then with a loud roar fired another dark crimson beam.

Hir had more than enough time to escape the shot, but he didn't run, doing the same as Seven and releasing a blue beam to counter Seven's attack.

The two colliding resulted into a shockwave that shattered the arena.

'Oho~ he finally fell for it'

With each blast he releases and each hit that finds its target Seven regains more and more of his sanity and composure. The first blast he shot from his mouth was darker than the second. Each time he is filtering the impurities from the energy Logan offered him, keeping the small portion of the pure parts that keep him going while getting rid of the parts that give him a heavy hangover.

'Man, maybe I really am somewhat of a prodigy' this was the third time he went through a situation where he had to make use of his enemies weapons, excluding Hir's thunder. One doesn't simply master super powers after using them a few times.

And for shut-in nerd and a longtime gamer who spent who knows how many years asleep he sure knew how to fight.

'Well, maybe watching some of those anime wasn't waist of time'

Seven was done putting his plan together, and Hir was about to launch his next attack.

The two traded a few blows, every time Hir seemed to get more and more exhausting. Seven was in his best shape, but as he continued filtering the impurities out his reserves started to dwindle.

'Time to finish this!' he jumped several meters in the air and prepared to release another blast.

Hir moved to counter it the same as before.

'Gotcha!'

The blasts collided, a shockwave rumbled throughout the ship, but this time Hir's was several times stronger, pushing that of Seven backwards. Or so it looked.

Seven closed his mouth letting Hir's beam hit him directly.

That was when the clan head knew he screwed up.
