Subaru narrowed her eyes at the young-looking man as the eight energy spheres rotated around him. "What is your purpose here?" She squeezed her gloved fist and narrowed her eyes at the man as he looked at her calmly.
The man raised his right hand up. "My name is Asuka Tackibana. And this is nothing more than a job for me."
The next thing that Subaru knew, the energy balls started whipping out at her body. Batting aside three with her right hand, she quickly created a barrier with her left hand that blocked three others before the last two went around her barrier and slammed into her legs with enough force to knock her over. "GAH!"
"Don't think that just because my treasure balls aren't large they aren't powerful." Tackibana said as the six balls that Subaru had knocked aside flew back to spin around his right hand. A small grin came to his face as he launched two straight at the downed Subaru's head. "Don't worry, this will only hurt for a moment, then it will all be over."
Subaru watched as the balls flew right at her face. "Sorry, but I'd rather not get slapped in the face by these balls." Throwing her hands up, she grinned as Tackibana stared in shock as she grabbed his ball and squeezed hard enough to crush them in her palms.
"You... Crushed my balls..." Tackibana stuttered out and took a step back as Subaru got to her knees and knocked the balls off of her legs so she could stand up properly. "...You monster."
Subaru stared at him in mute horror. "...I did what..?" Her mind went over what he had just said before shuddering. "Eww! I don't even know where those things were!"
"You..." Tackibana growled as his balls started spinning around him quickly. "I'll make you pay for that!" He snapped his hand out and the remaining six balls lashed out in random patterns towards Subaru.
"Wing... Road!" Subaru called out and took to the skies before staring as those balls were not only capable of moving into the air quickly, but they were capable of keeping up with her with ease.
"Don't think that just because you have air superiority that I can't stop you." Tackibana made some quick motions with his hands, which the balls quickly followed. He smirked as he watched Subaru try and block the balls, but seeing as they rushed from all sides, some hitting her on the left side, before one hit her in the small of her back, and another one hit her on the right side of her face, it was impossible for her to block all of them. He let out a small laugh as one smashed through her Wing Road, causing her to fall straight onto it, before she flopped down onto the ground.
"Oww..." Subaru grabbed her stomach and tried to stand up. "...That hurt."
"Give up then?" Tackibana slowly walked to her as he recalled his balls to his side. "Or I can keep pounding on you until your bones are nothing more than dust."
"No, I give up." Subaru got to her knees, still clutching her stomach with her left hand.
"Well then," the balls around his arm formed a line before a crystal layer formed around them, resembling a short sword, "this won't take long at all, don't worry, when it's done, you won't feel," he raised his arm up, "a," and started to swing down, "thing." He grinned as his weapon neared Subaru's head.
The only warning he got was a small smirk from Subaru as she suddenly grabbed his weapon and squeezed, stopping him cold. "You fell for it."
"What?" Tackibana stared as she stood up with a rather nasty grin on her face that actually had him worried. "I had you beaten! You gave up!"
"Oh please." Subaru grabbed his sword from his hands and squeezed so hard that there was a cracking sound from his weapon. "You really thought I gave up? Those things didn't hurt at all, to be honest, but letting you drag this fight out would be bad, so I had to make you think that you were winning."
Tackibana could only stare in mute horror as she crushed his remaining balls with her hand, causing it to fall to the ground harmlessly before turning to dust. "...You crushed my balls again."
Subaru looked at her hand and shuddered. "Eww! Eww! I'll need to boil my hand in bleach when I get home!"
"You do know that I can make more, right?" Tackibana blinked as Subaru rolled up to him. "Uh..."
"I think it'll be hard to do if you're out cold." Subaru grinned before slamming her right fist into his head and sending him flying across the field until he crashed into a building, where he slumped against the ground, completely out of it.
A couple of moments later, Subaru snapped some binds around his body. "That'll keep him still if he gets back up." Looking at her gloved hand, she shuddered softly. "Eww... I feel dirty from that fight."
"Well, I have to say that I never expected to have to fight such a lovely woman like you." He grinned while looking his opponent over. "In fact, why don't you just step aside? I know a good place we can..."
"Forget it." She narrowed her eyes at him. "There's something about you that I don't like. Ginga Nakajima, and you're under arrest if you don't have a really good reason for being here."
"George Tetsunami," he pulled out a gun and smirked at her, "and I think you shouldn't worry about why I'm here and worry about what I'm going to do to you if you're not careful." Grinning, he pulled the trigger and Ginga was forced to create a barrier as a fairly powerful beam struck it. "Ah ha! But how long can you keep up with me and my magnum?"
Ginga closed one eye and smirked at him. "If they're as weak as this, I'm not to worried about a quick shot like you. I've seen your type before, talk big, put up a good show, but then you run out of steam after only one or two shots and go so fast that it leaves a girl unsatisfied."
Tetsunami grinned at her as he continued to fire at her. "Ah, but if you think I'm good now, you'll just love my Big Magnum."
Ginga sweat-dropped before finally having enough and dodged out of the way of his next shot. "You know, that almost sounds like a come on."
"Really? I wouldn't know," Tetsunami grinned as he squeezed the trigger and a rather solid beam of energy rushed out towards Ginga, "then again, you've only had to deal with the warm-up shots that can't help but rush out."
Ginga's gloved hand spun around as an energy sphere appeared in her hand. "Revolver... SPIKE!" Punching forward, she grinned as her attack blocked and nullified the energy beam that was launched at her. "If those are your warm-up shots, then I'm not too worried about anything else you might have, you're probably just shooting blanks."
Tetsunami growled and Ginga stared as his whole body started to glow brightly before a large gun, a very large gun with a revolver chamber and a long barrel appeared behind him. "Impressed with my Big Magnum?"
"...I've seen bigger." Though, Ginga would admit that it was still pretty impressive, just not to this guy.
"Really? But I can fire shots from this thing all day, and I never have to worry about getting worn out or leaving nothing but a giant mess behind," Tetsunami grinned as he held his hand upwards, "because that's all that it does!"
"I bet!" Ginga was looking at the thing and didn't think it could move very fast, but it probably didn't need to. "You know that I can just get you from the sides or behind right?"
"I'd like to see you TRY to get a shot in from behind!" Tetsunami grinned and pointed behind Ginga, who turned her head to look and paled as she saw several people who were fairly far from the battle field, but could still get hurt if something went flying right at them. "After all, I don't have any protection on and this thing is fully loaded and ready to fire. Can you let yourself live if even one of them gets hurt?"
Ginga turned to him and growled. "You..."
"Now then! Wind good! Humidity fine! Fire!"
Ginga's gauntlet started to spin as light blue energy covered her hand. "Freeze... Cannon!"
Tetsunami blinked as his bullet was frozen and then shattered instantly. "Impressive! Too bad for you," he jumped to stand on the top of his gun and crossed his arms over his chest, "that I can fire more than one shot!"
Ginga stared as a second bullet seemed to materialize out of nowhere before she was recovered from the first shot. Grunting as she tried to hold off the shot, she had to grit her teeth as the bullet was able to not only crack her gauntlet, but send her tumbling back several feet at the same time.
"Ha ha ha!" Tetsunami laughed even as he saw his bullet had fallen to the ground harmlessly. "You really think that you can stand up to my thick, hard magnum with that puny little fist of yours?!"
Ginga shook her head to clear out any cobwebs and stood up. "Yeah, well at least this puny little fist is more satisfying to me than your big magnum is!"
"Oh really?!" Tetsunami smirked as he fired another shot. "It's thick," he smirked as Ginga had to block that one with her shields, "it's hard," another shot fired and Tetsunami's smirk turned into a rather perverse grin as he saw Ginga struggling to keep up with his multiple shots, "and it's coming to get'cha!" He roared as he fired several more shots almost simultaneously, bombarding Ginga and kicking up a cloud of dust in its wake.
When no more bullets came out of his Magnum, Tetsunami jumped to the ground and smirked as he recalled his gun. "How do you like my Big Magnum now?"
When the dust cleared, Tetsunami stared as Ginga was not only standing, she barely looked hurt, sure there was some blood running down from the cuts on her face and her outfit was filthy, but she looked ready to go still. "Like I said before, my puny little fist is more satisfying to me than your magnum is," Ginga grinned at him, "at least my puny little fist doesn't run out and fail to perform at critical moments."
"You..." Tetsunami took a step back and pointed at her. "Fire!"
Ginga just smirked as all she heard was a click. "Looks to me that you're out of ammo, how... Typical of a man, always getting your guns off and never thinking of a woman."
Before Tetsunami could retort, he found himself quickly bound up so tightly that he let go of his gun device out of reflex.
Snorting as she saw Tetsunami's larger gun disappear, Ginga quickly cast a sealing bind on the gun before turning and rolling away. "Just stay there, oh, and by the way..." She turned to look at him before giving out one final parting shot, "I've had better from my own sister before."
"Gin-nee..." Subaru stared at her sister's appearance as she saw her two minutes later. "What happened?"
"...Let's just say that I didn't appreciate his Big Magnum... How about you?"
"...His balls were annoying." Subaru muttered.
The two sisters looked at each other and shuddered.
