He closes his eyes and breaths, his aura protecting him from swallowing any ash as he sends out his aura to locate JJ.
"Think this ash will save you? Think again."
He finds JJ and gathers aura in his hands, JJ can sense the power it gives off, but it also reveals Zane's own location.
"[b]Aura Blast![/b]"
He releases the built up energy at JJ, weather or not it hits he won't know until the ash clears.
English
-
The aura blast passes through the flames, extinguishing them. However, there is no cry of pain, and the storm doesn't let up. Then out of nowhere, Zane feels a shotgun blast on the small of his back. The pellets lodge themselves inside of Zane, however far they've gotten. If Zane turns around, he can catch a glimpse of a figure covered in flame running back into the storm. After the shot however, visibility clears up slightly.
-
He staggers forward, rubbing his back. Blood slowly drips through his fur, and he starts to gather energy around him. "Oh, you'll pay for that...." He unleashes the energy, blasts emitting around him in 360 degrees and punching holes in the kiln.
-
A strange crackling noise can be heard off to Zane's left, just before the holes in the kiln can be heard. The ash storm stops, with the kiln remaining up. However, ash can be seen flowing back toward the wall, quickly repairing the holes. Then, blocking Zane's view, an ashen figure similar to JJ's rises, wrapped in flame. Followed by two at its sides. Then another two. And another two. Eventually, Zane was surrounded by at least 40 these ashen figures. If Zane was to check for JJ's aura, he would find it within all of the figures within the circle. He was hiding among these fakes, and giving each of them a little bit of flame in order to conceal himself. Some were obviously fake, crude and not even breathing. Others were much more lifelike, narrowing down the search to nearly 20% of what gathered. They all began to charge Zane, some leaping with their wings of flame to strike from above; others sticking to the ground and attack lower. All of them gunning for Zane. However, the ones jumping at him appeared to be slightly faster.
-
He focuses power into his fingers and forms a giant aura blade that catches all the ashen clones and splits them in half as he swings. If JJ was hiding in these clones, he would feel this attack.
-
A few figures avoided the blades, while most weren't fast enough. The numbers thinned from 40 to 15, with all of the more lifelike figures surviving, as well as a few of the crude ones. Now, the survivors were upon Zane. Six were in the air, the others were on the ground. The ones in the air had pistols form in their hands as they shot at Zane, careful not to damage their comrades. The ones one the ground had an ashen katana form in their hands, except for two who also got pistols. The seven with swords lunged for Zane's arms and chest, attempting to stab or slash at him. The two with pistols on the ground carefully waited for a clean shot at Zane's chest or head.
-
He spins again, hitting the ones with the katana's and splitting them. He then changes his sword into a shield as he throws it at the ones with the guns, the shield ricocheting and hitting all of them.
-
One of the figures with the katana is quick enough to hit Zane in the chest before he's destroyed, but it's merely a flesh wound. Nothing is left behind of the figure, save for a pile of ash. The shield destroys all but three of the last of the figures, who were barely fast enough to avoid the shield. Two are lifelike and are in the sky, one is on the ground and fake. The pistol of the one on the ground forms into throwing knives, which are promptly unleashed. The two in the sky instead siphon ash from the fallen, creating sniper rifles for both. One fires at Zane's upper spine, while the other fires for Zane's collar.
-
He dashes to the side, but not before the knives hit him at his side, drawing blood. He winces from the attack, and sends an energy blast at the fake and jumps up, kicking the remaining clones.
-
They both hit the ground. One continues firing at Zane, backing up and landing a shot on Zane's chest, and the other one raises his hand, sending tendrils of fire shooting upward from the ground. They head toward Zane in a straight line. Looks like the real one's been found.

Edited by XxZANExX13: 12/5/2016 3:44:46 AMHe staggers backwards a bit from the shot, blood dripping. He recovers and moves both his hands backwards, gathering energy, so much that the air starts to tremble. "Aura....." A bright glow forms, and he shoves his hands forward, unleashing the beam. "[b]CANNON![/b]" A massive beam envelops JJ, doing serious damage and knocking him out of the kiln.
-
While Zane is gathering energy, JJ quickly throws up a wall of ash. The beam bursts through it, but the wall dampened the blow minimally. JJ is sent through the side of the kiln, creating a rather large hole. Before any sign of him appears though, Zane forgot to deal with the still living figure that shot him. While Zane was firing the beam, the figure quickly snuck up on him. The very moment Zane was finished, the figure stuck with a point-blank sniper shot to the left kidney. To any normal man, that shot would've torn off most of his side, and some of his leg as well. And while Zane wasn't a normal man, the shot would still hurt like nothing else. Once the clone shot, its ashen rifle immediately turned into a sword, as it tried to deliver a blow to the spine. Meanwhile, JJ was clambering back through the hole he made, nursing his wounds by filling them with ash. He was stumbling, but the flame and ash were helping him recover.
-
The sniper shot sure hurt like hell, and it definitely pissed him off as he quickly turned and grabs the clones head, crushing it. He grunts as he takes his other hand and places it over the wound, stoping the bleeding. "Oh now you've done it...." He dashes over to JJ, delivering a swift kick to his torso.
-
As the kick lands, a sharp cracking noise can be heard, and JJ kneels on the floor. "Don't like getting shot? Well, I'm sorry, I'll cauterize the wound for you." JJ stuck his left hand out to the side, and closed his fist quickly and tightly. Suddenly, the wounds that Zane had sustained from the ashen figures caught fire. Each hit had left behind a small bit of ash, which JJ could use to ignite nearby material. Just like the old Phoenix's ability to use napalm in someone's wound. The fire burned hotter than any normal flame should, and caused much, [i]much[/i] more pain as a result. The flames were literally beginning to burn Zane from the inside.
-
He lets out a scream of rage and pain as he falls to the ground next to JJ. His aura flares up, and starts to gather in his core, trying to purge the ash. "Now that's fighting dirty....."
-
"Welcome to my world..." The ash is quickly forced out, but it still burns Zane as it leaves, causing more damage throughout his body. While Zane is in the middle of that, JJ uses his fire wings to bring himself upright, drawing his sword. Instead of being encased in dark energy, now it was alight with blue flames. He then hastily tries to strike downwards, at Zane's spine, but misses and winds up hitting Zane's right hip instead.
-
The blade cuts, but not very deep. Zane retaliates by punching JJ right in the gut as he gets up, and flips him over to the ground, cracking it.
-
JJ hits the ground, groaning. However, the sword is still stuck within Zane's hip. JJ forms another weapon from the massive amount of ash around the arena. A small shotgun with slugs, which he promptly fires into Zane's stomach.
-
He concentrates his aura to absorb the blast, and he starts to punch JJ in the stomach, cracks forming under the ground from the hits.
-
While Zane punches, ash flows into JJ's open wounds from hitting the cauldron wall, attempting to piece together whatever internal damage was done, and form a weak wall over where Zane's hitting. While he's doing that, JJ gathers himself, and grabs Zane's head with his open hand. He then hits the barrel of his shotgun against Zane's forehead, holding it there. He then fires the slug at point blank while attempting to squirm free of the blows.
-
He flys back from the blast, blood dripping from his head as he gets up and rips the sword out of his side. "Man, you're a stubborn bastard....Reminds me of when I fought cobalt long ago. He was the first one to push me to my limits, and forced me to break them.
