What: Closing Arena Ceremonies, Part 2
Where: Aries Arena & Televised
Summary: 1/24/10AC
Warnings: This could get serious...but who knows.

Finally it was time for the mayor, Kazuki Sakahagi, to speak up. Not even an thirty minutes left to the celebrations, but seeing him go appeared to be lighting up a spark in the citizens. It wasn't too hard to see why; his enthusiastic grin and way of walking could easily melt anyone's worry away.

He walked to the center stage as cheering broke out, two men in black and Junko Tanako behind him.

Unfortunately Spades didn't have a chance to look up at Hitsuji at the moment; he was focused on Anant, holding the mask in clear view, but with a tight grip.

"You want this back, right?"

He dropped the mask on the ground, putting his foot on top of it and leaning forward. Not enough to break it, but enough to put pressure on it. "Take a step closer and I grind it into the dust."

He kept his focus on Anant, but looked at Hitsuji for a moment and jerked his head towards Anant; figure out how to deliver a good blow while he kept the guy distracted!

Anant twitched when Spades leaned forwards, their claws flexing in agitation as their gaze flickered from the mask to Spade's face. A small, distressed noise whined in the back of their throat, the glow of their gauntlets dimming rapidly.

"...get off of it..." Anant said softly, their voice strangely cold and flat. The noise trailed off into a low, inhuman growl, and the glow returned to their gauntlets in a sudden flare, their eyes narrowing as the beginnings of an actual expression started to cross their face. Anger.

Okay, desperate times called for desperate measures. She'd have to add two more to the list of times she cycles back, but... this guy seemed to definitely be worth the effort with how crazy and powerful he was. God, hopefully she could at least take a nap before closing all these time loopholes.

Alright. Here we go.

Without a sound, two more copies of herself popped up next to her, wands out and at the ready. They exchange looks before casually flying into a semi circle behind Anant, the original copy of Hitsuji in the middle. She holds up one hand, three fingers extended as if to indicate a count. Three... two... one-- she points her last finger at Anant, via extension pointing her wand in that hand back down at him, and all three send two powerful blasts of technicolor disco fun times magic down at him simultaneously, aiming for just about anywhere on his body besides his head.

If this ended up being too much, then she'd own up to the consequences. But this guy really seemed like anything inflicted on him less than brutal force would do jack shit in the end. Hopefully she wasn't overestimating him...

Anger. Yes. Anger was good.

Spades crossed his arms across his chest, tapping his foot on the mask. Not enough pressure to break it or crack it or anything, but it was certainly enough of a threat. "Ah ah ah-- Take a step closer and you can say goodbye!"

[selfgodded]

Anant froze when Spades tapped the mask with his foot - and obediently did not move even when the magics rammed into them.

It didn't hurt. Anant did not feel pain even when their body was pushed to its very limits, but the blasts did shatter his gauntlets, and the sheer backlash from that made the deluded god cry out from disorientation. With a dull 'thud', Anant was sent slamming into the ground, their coat a bit tattered and threadbare from the assault, and glimmers of golden shards glittering on the ruined ground.

Shards that swiftly hissed and spluttered out of existence.

They were still breathing, their eyes open a thin sliver as they glowered at Spades. A strange gurgling noise rumbled in the back of their throat, and they twitched, as if preparing to get back up again before they abruptly stilled. Their eyes unfocused, but they were still watching Spades intently.

Damn. Anant's body was so damaged they had to enter a healing rest. Due to Anant's...condition, they did not sleep, but their body could just shut down and refuse movement until all injuries were healed.

tl;dr, Anant was finally out of the fight.
