{It returns to Satarou and Medusa staring off}
Satarou: No... Tokito... Is that you? (He stutters over his words)
{Satarou's eyes shake as he looks at what used to be his adorable little sister, now has become a monster}
Medusa: Well Big bro, Tokito is unavailable... Forever. (She says her face completely shrouded in darkness) Now... All that's left is me... (She hisses her tongue as she slithers around Satarou)
Satarou: I can't believe it... You can't be my sister... She'd never harm someone like this... Much less take a life... (Still in disbelief)
Medusa: That's not accurate... Tokito long took two lives before I ever awakened... (She says her eyes glowing)
Satarou: No you don't mean...
Medusa: Yes, the day of the accident. (It shows a flashback with Tokito arguing with her parents in a car) She snuck out to watch Sendou's first match and she was caught and our shit father was laying into her while mom watched. Dad was talking too much shit about Tokito, her man, and even you. And then she had enough and shoved her dad which lead him to crash into that truck. (Her punk rock accent fills Satarou's head with confusion)
Satarou: No... Your lying... (His mind is discombobulated)
Medusa: Oh so lil Tokito didn't tell you? I thought y'all were close... Seems not. (She jokingly says but her words still cut deep)
{Satarou's whole world is crumbling before him}
Satarou: [How... How could Tokito, the girl I raised myself to be better than our parents. Become just like them bitter hateful people...] (He sees young innocent Tokito) [I failed you.]
Medusa: What's wrong Big bro? (She comes in close) You realize your a failure of a brother? You realize, like you've feared, Tokito fell into the darkness. Your precious lil baby is in my hands and there's nothing you can do about it... (She holds her dagger to Satarou's face gliding it's sharp edge across his face)
{Satarou feels the cold blade and he feels all the warmth Tokito's hand once had is completely gone}
Satarou: ... (He's left speechless) [No...]
Medusa: What? Cat got your tongue? (Her voice Ringing throughout Satarou's mind)
Satarou: (Gulps) ... [No... I'm not gonna give up on her, if I give up on her... Who will?!] (His eyes set alight as he slaps away Medusa's dagger)
Medusa: Good, you've still got fight in you! (She looks into his eyes) You've got that fire in your eyes, the same as the Warlord... Before I killed him. (She says licking her dagger as it shows the Warlord of Envy's silhouette in the reflection) Now your next! (The reflection now shows Satarou's face)
{Both Satarou and Medusa circle each other in there fighting position as it's a kickboxer Vs a Orthodox Boxer}
Satarou: That's cute, you still use the style I taught Tokito. (He teasingly says as he holds his peek a boo style firmly)
Medusa: You haven't seen nothing yet. (As she pulls her daggers from her snake hair) Now... Let's get it rocking! (She smiles menacingly as she crouches ready for battle)
{The air is thick with sinful intent of Gluttony and Envy, the scent to desires}
Satarou: [I have to save her... There's no other option, because if I can't save her... Then I've really failed as a Big bro!] (He clenches his fists his aura intensifying as his body turns to stone)
Medusa: Oh I see we kick it off with elemental powers? (Her daggers glow dark green and her fangs drip light green poison) Then I'm not gonna hold back...
Satarou: Wow... (He says under his breath) [She even corrupted Tokito's element... This will be difficult...] (His breath shallows as he hyperventilates a little) [No... Composure.] (He relaxes his breathing as he is ready)
Medusa: Come on mate!! (She dashes in first her speed remarkable)
{She completely speed blitz's Satarou}
Satarou: [She's fast!] (As his guard was burst apart from her fast barrage of blows)
Medusa: Got ya!! (As she throws a right overhead)
{But Satarou guards it by turning his face into steal}
Satarou: [I'm so glad I went through quick switching from each mineral on my last day.] (As he quickly changes his minerals back and forth between stone and steel) [My steal strike are strong but they lack speed and accuracy all thing my rock art provides... So combining the two I bring out the best in my element!] (As he holds his own against Medusa's speed) [Your wide open!] (He lands a right cross counter)
{It lands with surgical precision}
Medusa: (blood dripping from her nose) Yes! Yes, your so much fun because you put up such a good fight and... You're the first to make me bleed... (But she wipes her nose the two Rings of Hell on both her ring fingers glow Brightly) Now... I'm not holding back. (Her voice pitches down as the Ring's energy courses through her body)
Satarou: [Oh no...] (He gets a bad feeling from how her veins are glowing) [I can't lose the advantage of her being desperate.] (He follows up with a full power Left straight) [Iron straight!!]
{It connects but Medusa absorbed it}
Medusa: Nope, your power shots aren't gotta do jack shit here! (She smiles menacingly)
Satarou: [oh come on! This again? Can't she have a unique gimmick that doesn't make my shots useless!] (He thinks as yet again he can't use his full strength)
Medusa: what's wrong mate? You scared? You pissing ya pants now? (She says strutting towards Satarou the ground beneath her turns to stone with each step she takes)
Satarou: [Her presence... Is so deadly...] (As he feels the air turn cold to the point where he can see his breath) [No... I can't... I can't give in to her. It's a part of her plan, to implant this fear into her opponent like a deadly poison that destroys you from the inside out.] (He gulps but he holds his composure)
Medusa: You've been real quiet... You too petrified to speak? (Her voice echoes through the wasteland of Hell)
{Satarou dashes back in}
Satarou: I'll definitely beat you! (He yells as he lands a soft body blow)
Medusa: Mate what is that? That wasn't a punch that was a illegal feel. (She shrugs it off about to stab Satarou with her dagger)But Satarou weaves her attempts affectively}
Satarou: Your swinging too wild. (As he weaves and counters with surgical body strikes)
{It seems that Satarou's strategy is working like before but...}
Medusa: You think I don't know about your stone bullet? Don't forget... Tokito has watched all your matches... So have I. All your strategies, gameplans aren't gonna work on me... (As none of Satarou's body blows have even phased her)
Satarou: [Well forget what I said about her not being original... I've never actually encountered someone who's studied me so hard...] (As he steps back instinctively)
Medusa: Now you really understand... (As she blasts a barrage of blows with her daggers completely overwhelming Satarou to the point where one strike stabs him in the ribs)
Satarou: Agh... (As he feels the blade pierce his hardened skin Into his vital organs) [This can't... This can't be... No one has cut into my body before...] (As he lifts his hand seeing it stained in blood)
{Satarou's heart beats faster his vision blurs his breathing slows then excellerates}
Medusa: What's wrong? You lost your will to fight? (As she grinds the blade deeper into Satarou's ribs) What a shem... Your a disappointment of a older brother... I can't believe Tokito thought you were cool... That you were the strongest and you could protect her... Guess she was just naive... (As she pulls out her knife)
{Satarou begins to fall on his back}
Satarou: [I've been knocked down before but... My back has never touched the matt... I can't...] (As he pivots his right leg back to catch himself but he has no strength left)
{But In the spirit of everyone that believes in him even Tokito and Sendou push him back up}
Satarou: I've never lost once in my entire life... And I'm not letting that be broken by you... And I won't let you use Tokito's body like a toy... And most of all... I've got too many people pushing me on... No one can send me to the ground yet... (As he his red aura darken to dark red as his steel evolves further)
{The gravel around Satarou begins to cling around him and turn to pure vibranium, as Satarou's back shows a gorilla tattoo as his arms and chest enlargen}
Medusa: What's this funny business? (She taunts as she tries to shrug off the immense pressure Satarou is exerting)
Satarou: No more Words... No more fear... No running or relying on others... Just me and You. (In a deep righteous voice)
Medusa: I couldn't say it better myself. (She is nervous talking as she stands ready to strike)
Satarou: ... (His face completely stoic)
Medusa: If your looking to die so bad then, I'll grant your death wish! (She dashes in and uses her dagger to stab him)
{But her dagger doesn't even faze Satarou}
Satarou: That won't work anymore... (His voice reverbing through Medusa's mind)
{A sweat for the first time drops off of Medusa's face}
Medusa: [He's tougher than I expected... But I'm still the mistress of the sea and with these rings I am the strongest!] (She wipes the sweat and dashes in as fast as possible) Don't get cocky! (She stabs over and over her desperation growing more and more) [Die already!!] (The poison on the blade turns corrosive as it starts to tear through the hardened skin)
{Satarou notice this and instinctively punches her back}
Satarou: [Oh no... Her poison is still evolving? Now it's more acidic poison. How can I stop her? Because this power up is cool and all but my legs are fried from those attacks from earlier plus fighting the Warlord, my body is reaching it limit.] (As he keeps a poker face as it shows across his body the damage he's accumulated up until this point)
{Both Satarou and Medusa have reached there boiling point at this point}
Medusa: [I won't lose... Not when I'm so close to it... To the strength to prove to everyone that I'm good enough... To show him, to show the whole universe that I... Enough... That even though I'm different, I can do anything I set my mind to...] (Her inner voice cracking sounding more and more like Tokito the mask she's wearing is peeling off)
{Both their breaths are ragged their bodies heat up so much their surrounded by steam}
Satarou: I won't quit... Until I have Tokito back... I can't let your malicious intent put... Blood on an innocent girls hands... (Satarou says struggling to catch his breath as he's still feeling the corrosive poison) [I can't take anymore I'll have to finish this here and now with...] (As he tightens his peek a boo stance weaving in the figure 8 motion)
Medusa: (tries to harness more strength from the Ring but it's completely drained) [Shit... I'm out of juice. These Ring are powerful but they have too many stupid weaknesses... I have to defeat him or...] (As it shows Medusa being cast from Heaven into the sea) [Everything I've built will be for nothing, there disbelief in me would be true. The myths about me will be true... I have to conquer all the Rings so that I can grant the wish...] (As she thinks of being accepted by Heaven) [To be accepted for who I am... Won't be a reality.] (She sheds a single tear as she readies for there final clash) You understand me... Your just like rest of them... You judge before you give it a chance... You aren't the man that can accept both me and Tokito for who we are... Because you have realize I'm always gonna be a part of her, if you can't love both of us then, neither me or Tokito will ever be happy. (She reveals in her tears show a reflect of Tokito within her)
Satarou: I love Tokito... But I'll never love you. (He says his mind already made up) But there is a man who will accept you for all of you...
Medusa: There isn't anyone who can who can love this... (As she wipes her tears and dashes back in on Satarou) [I'll always be alone, and that ain't changing... I'll always be the bad guy... I'll always be the villain of the stories.]
{As she was ready to deal the finishing blow}
Satarou: (he's still weaving in the figure 8) [I don't have enough speed to throw another punch, but I have to subdue her...] (He tries to figure out a strategy to solve this) [I've got it!] (As he waits until she got close)
Medusa: This will be the end of ya!! (As she jumps about to stab him with both of her daggers)
{But Satarou hugs her}
Medusa: Here you go again with this zesty touches. (As she tries to break free but she can't move out of it)
Satarou: This ain't just a hug... It's a bear hug! (As he tightens his grips squeezing her)
Medusa: Stop that! If you don't I'll kill you myself!
{Satarou refuses to listen}
Medusa: Fine... I'll show you why I'm feared for my poison! (As she sinks her fangs into his neck injecting her petrifying poison)
{But Satarou is completely unfazed}
Satarou: That trick don't work on me!
Medusa: How?! (As she's completely shocked)
Satarou: What you don't understand is... I'm the Rock elemental, so of course you can't turn me to stone cos I'm literally made of stone dumbass. (He says with confidence that this is checkmate)
Medusa: Fuck... (As she loses consciousness)
{Satarou puts her on his shoulder and walks off}
Satarou: That's what I should've done in the first place... (As he drags himself and Tokito away looking for the others)
{Medusa's been subdued but how will we bring Tokito back? What will happen in the next Ring of Hell?}
We'll see in the next chapter!!
