Kagari opens with a sweeping blast of fire, aiming her hands towards Kaizo’s feet— and Kaizo backflips away just in time.

  Kagari: “C’mon Kaizo! I need that same passionate energy like last time...”

  Kaizo (dodging): “Relax, I’ve got to eat before I can give passionate energy.”

  Kagari smirks and begins increasing the intensity, tightening her hand so the fire she shoots is more condensed, explosive and hotter, similar to a flamethrower.

  Kagari (playfully): “How about I severe you up with something medium rare?”

  Kaizo, quickly and skillfully dived behind a huge boulder on the field, and waited, despite both ends of it slowly melting from the heat for Kagari’s flames.

  Kaizo: “No thanks, I’m not that hungry...”

  She blasts through the back of the boulder but Kaizo had already anticipated that and had moved out the way.

  In mid-air, Kaizo finally has the angle to try something unique. He falcon dives (tucks his arms to the side while diving) towards the Flame Empress but Kagari meets him with a continual burst to the chest: Shakuen.

  WHOOSH.

  The crowd begins chanting:

  “Flame Empress! Flame Empress!”

  It drowns everything. But Kaizo spirals—hurt, burning—but not done.

  Flames whip around him, as Shakuen was still going, slowly intensifying and getting hotter and hotter.

  Stolen story; please report.

  His mind races.

  Kaizo (thinking): “She’s too damn cunning, like a wolf… this is really annoying.”

  That thought lingers—

  A blackish aura -like energy begins trailing him.

  It’s faint. Then it gets thicker, sharper, and more energized.

  Kaizo spirals mid-air like a drill— and a wolf-head-shaped takes form from the aura forming in front of him.

  [“No clue what this is, but I’d be dumb not to roll with it… No pun intended.”]

  The momentum builds, his energy level rises and with a voice that was low but clear, he said what just came naturally at that time:

  “Aura Manipulation: Okamikiba!”

  His red eyes began glowing as his focus increased.

  He stops spinning just before impact—clentching the aura with a intense gripping, claw like motion.

  FWHOOOOOM!! — As he thrust his fist forwards, the “aura” wolf-head snaps forward, ripping through those flames, as if it were a candle flicker, obliterating through the fire.

  The arena crater, shaking the spectators and the entire stadium with a loud aftershock

  Smoke floods the field. From within it… a figure lies down—Kaizo.

  His skin is burned, battered and bruised. It seemed even his body wasn’t ready for what just happened…

  Luckily, the Regen Protocol was already in effect, though it was going slowly so others couldn’t see.

  The crowd watches, stunned. Even Infinity freezes, unable to process what just happened.

  As the smoke clears, Kagari collapses.

  Kagari (muttering weakly): “...What… was t-that?”

  Kagari faints afterwards, unable to keep consciousness any longer and the smoke clears. Kaizo stands up slowly.

  Kaizo (thinking): “Welp, that was eventful…”

  The stadium erupts.

  Some fans were cheering while some booed. Everyone remembers his name, as he’s the man that has defeated the Flame Empress.

  Kaizo (thinks to himself): “Pretty sure I just awakened another ability…”

  Shakuen (灼炎 – “Scorching Flame”)

  A mid-range combustion technique that channels raw fire energy through the user's palm, releasing a continuous stream of flames like a concentrated flamethrower. As Kagari ignites the blaze, her energy flares violently, engulfing her target in an unrelenting inferno. The intensity of the flame increases the longer she maintains the stream, making it ideal for suppressing evasive or defensive foes. Though it primarily relies on her stamina to maintain this move, so it can be held very long or not long at all.
