Brazen footsteps of hers would take her to Jared's presence whether he was willing or not. She hadn't forgotten. Since his release from the hospital she promised him from that day forward it was on. The boy audaciously took on Azazel. That sort of fire was not to be distinguished. And so, she would be the gasoline that kept it lit. No matter what he was doing or where he was, she would press his guard. So upon sight of him, she would start. Her search for him took her to open plains. Peripheral view caught sight of King's castle off in the background. Their exchange would create noise within the town, but she cared not for any of it. Her eyes spotted him clearly and she cried out for him immediately.
"Jared! Take up your arms and defend yourself, you god smiter!"
She did then raise forward her own right hand and aimed it forward. Traces of yellow circled around her arm then split into five, one for each finger. Like visible static, each trace of yellow projected itself from her fingertips and sought Jared's body as their conductor. These projected static arrows were made potent and looking to leave their mark. But she was hardly getting started. Once they left her she sprang up, with the tail of her gown fluttering about. Emboldened by her approach, she shot across the sky at a hastened pace, but not yet at her peak. Regardless of his response, she was sure he would take up movement. From the sky she would choose to try to meet him. With the heat of her breath, she'd spew flames and throw herself into a wild whirl from she would attempt to crash down on him; a moving embodiment of flames waiting to cinder him.

Jared could see the signs of town off in the distance as he made his way back to home. His mind was focused on what to create for food after a full morning and afternoon off in the backlands far off. A lot of the planet was still unexplored and it had been some time since he indulged his explorers roots. Perhaps his dad would be proud. But there was nothing of interest there to see in terms of treasure hunting, so he was in a sense empty-handed as a result.
"I thought for sure that would be an interesting trek to take," Jared said.
Well it's not like the scenery wasn't breathtaking. But I suppose you were looking for something of a different taste out there, Freed replied.
Jared just sighed. Freed looked off to the distance as they continued on. It was after a few moments his eyes became filled with intent. Silence took him firmly. Moments into that he decided to give a nod. Then he closed his eyes and proceeded to glow, catching Jared's attention.
"Uhm, what are you doing?" he asked.
Freed didn't respond to it and simply withdrew to Jared's pendant. This caused Jared to pause.
"Freed? What's going on?" he then asked.
Then suddenly a voice reached his ears. "Jared! Take up your arms and defend yourself, you god smiter!"
The voice was immediately distinguishable. He turned in its direction, taking in a breath of surprise when he spotted Kasume making the most abrasive approach at his position. She appeared filled with rage and was immediately wielding her magic to take offense. Her fingertips unleashed her rage in the form of traveling bolts meant to strike him. Springing backwards he watched as the bolts then struck the ground where he once stood, blackening the spot and leaving a rising smoke. In the heat of the moment, his mind went to guard and his thoughts processed what just happened.
Freed...tch! Did this guy see her coming and decided not to...
"Guh!" He went before being body crushed.
In the time he took to avoid her initial strike, she prepared a follow-up. Such to be expected of the mistress. But his resilience shined thereafter and he rose up from the body crash. He wiped the smudges off his face as an excited grin appeared upon his face.
"So it is a skirmish you wish from me, dear mistress! I'm not in the business of disappointing you! HAH!!"
The boy's body ignited with an aura of blue. He gathered his focus, quickly drawing the condensation in the air, enough to become blatantly visible. From the now thickened orb floating before him, he projected a barrage of droplets in her direction. Water had its dangers! She was to receive a reminder of this. His left palm was turned up, also drawing energy to the center of it as a focal point. There he produced a medium sized orb of light. Racing to his left and attempting to circle around to her back, he lobbed the orb in her direction. He jumped back once a hefty double digit number of feet, grounded his feet and focused on the orb trying to guide its path to her. His right hand swiped left, right, up, then down. The orb followed these motions in kind in an attempt to throw Kasume into confusion. As his hand went down, he curved it up, causing the orb to stop just shy of hitting the ground. When he closed his fist, the orb shot off for the maiden's chest area as the final zing!

His enthusiasm made this all the better. No sooner did she charge in, did he respond back. It meant his time in recovery didn't put a block on his will. After her thunderous crash on him, he stood up and was viciously assailing her. She smiled as she caught sight of traces of cinder on his clothing. But, she knew him to be resilient to flames. He was proving his birthright upon his initial attack. How quickly he could assemble water under his whim. But as the pellets came aflying, she was a-movin'. The maiden went into a series of backflips like one would see in an olympic competition of sorts. Her movements efficiently managing to stay ahead of his initial assault.
She planted her feet after one last backflip. Her senses running on high picked up the trace of growing energy from him, then released swiftly upon her. Her eyes attempted to follow the flinging orb. She tried to place it as it went left, as it went right. She tightened her guard as it shot upward. Then she cartwheeled left as it came down. The maiden's eyes closed suddenly as she centered her thoughts. Instinctively, she turned and reached out. Eyes opening suddenly she caught sight of the orb entering into her palms and proceed to parry herself over. Her palms guided the orb on by beneath her. Reflexes saved her. She landed with both feet upon the ground, arms withdrawn. Her hands thrust in his direction, sending a double surge of her energy roaring in his direction. The two beams traveled parallel before choosing to spiral around each other, Splitting off and circling around, they made the approach at him.
"To my whims now I call the wind!" she shouted as she moved along the ground circling her right arm.
Picking up drastic speed in the movement of her arm she drew air current to her until she had gathered enough. Approaching him in a wild sprint sprang up when she was with double digits of feet away. With a sharping down swing she lashed the wind at his back, demonstrating her mastery of the Gale Whip. When she heard crack of the wind, she with drew the arm again, landed and swung rightward across to try and slash at him from the side. Then she thrust upward sharply and came with a quick snap down while simultaneously sprinting toward him.

Jared watched her movements with a bit of starry-eyed amazement. She seemed perfectly in tuned to what her body was capable of. If she missed a beat he was extremely lucky. But it only made him try harder in kind. Realizing she would attack soon, the boy started back-pedaled, keeping his eyes on her. When she let loose from her hands again with energy he stopped his backwards movement. He was expecting the attack to be straightforward. But he needed to realize with Kasume, very little actually was. The energy waves coarse around each other then parted ways and started to try and circle around to him from both sides. He jumped himself high up just before the energies collided, sending a surge of wind about from the explosion. He could sense her wildly moving across the plain to try to close distance. Instinct led him to turn around to see her leaping at him.
"Gale Whip," he uttered as he took note of her right arm's positioning
When she snapped her hand out, Jared took himself to the right, feeling the surge of the wind brushing down. That's when he heard a snap in the air and realized he had called it right. She spun around and lashed across. Jared stopped his ki and allowed himself to drop out of the air a bit before igniting again and taking off like a rocket backwards. Then he dropped again as she approached him for the final snap. Since it was wind, it wasn't like he could grab it somehow. But it was wind...and now he had a smirk on his face.
"Try this!!" Jared shouted as he threw himself into a wild spin in place.
He continued picking up the speed as much as he could until his own body was generating a rough wind current. The circular whirlwind met with her attempt to snap at him, causing a disrupt in the move for the final hit. When he felt her stop, that's when he did the same, letting the wild winds rise further into the air. Now he was eye to eye with her, smirking audaciously.
"Hehehe! I finally found something for that thing! My turn now! HRRH!"
There was a glow exerting from the ring on his finger while he spoke. At the end of his dialogue the boy thrust his right palm forward, sending a crushing surge of force along with it. His eyes glowing blue all the while. He had imbued the power of his father's ring and coursed it through to his invisible force wave. Hoping to force an opening he drastically charged into her with a shoulder rush just before his body became shrouded in red. Bolting to the right he surged close to 100 feet then shot back at her, aiming to collide with the brunt of his palm. Then he spun around with a roundhouse kick aiming to send her off across the air so he could follow her. Trying to position himself parallel he went for hammer hand aiming for the upper body to drop her down. Then for the finish he'd surge downward and try to snag her by the leg with his grip. WIth this he could pull her down then before touching ground would snap her down into the ground for the finishing slam.

She slightly nodded as she watched him navigate around her attacks. It was unrealistic to expect to him to just stand there after all. But she gave him a little bit of innovation with her final Gale Whip snap by generating a vicious whirlwind. She stopped advancing him because of it and was actually pushed back some. He had a rather devious smirk on his face when it was all said and done. Right after declaring his turn to fire back, he bore his fangs. In moments she felt his power wash over her. In the moment of impact she felt his overbearing presence, along with that of another. Poseidon's Silhouette flashed in her mind as she was forced horizontal. He then crashed into her as she tried to regain her posture. His power surged and took a solid hold on her thereafter. She could feel his physical power with each subsequent hit. It made her understand his progress. Very well. These blows would be taken with no resistance it seemed. She had barely gotten an eye open when she felt her body dropping out of the sky, guided by Jared who had taken her leg into his grip. She let out a vicious roar just before her body was brought violently against the ground.
Silence afterward. She could feel her body twitch as she lay there impressed in the ground. That surge of power from within him was rooted in deep seated rage. He wanted his shot at her more than she realized before then. The roar she let out was from an understanding the final blow would be a vicious one. He released his grip on her from there. She could no longer feel it around her leg. She moved her head until it was exposed from the dirt and could allow her to take in air. Body still twitch, she would make the effort to rise, pressing her hands against the dirt to support her. This pain, actual pain! Caused by Jared and engraved her mind thereafter! It had her thoughts racing. But what's more, it left a single most desire to return it in kind. Light flickered around her body. Energy suddenly shot forth from her as she lifted her head back. Her loose-flowing hair, eyes with pupils absent, followed by a fluorescent shimmer were what took place before she burst upward in a boundless leap. At the peak of her jump, she spun around and drew her glance to him.
In a sudden flash, she descended, taken in by her fury. She led herself into a furious barrage of physical blows flinging at him from close quarters. There was the initial first swing of her heavy-winded fist to try and strike his head. Her feet touching the dirt after She did a circular swing of the head, attempting to whip his face with her hair as a distraction for the crushing elbow, she wanted to bring around to his chest. This was followed up with a spew of fire from her mouth as she took a step backwards once again trying to open him up. Her body's energy erupted from there and she shot forward trying tackle into him and crash him to the dirt. Rolling forward, she could recover from the tackle, whip around to face him while still crouched. This put her in the ideal position to cup her hands into the dirt and finalize the assault with a potent energy wave to wash his body over.

Jared had finished his assault with surprisingly uninterrupted results. Still, knowing her, it was only a matter of time before she lashed out. And now Freed, who had been absent for the entire thing reappeared to him mentally with nothing but a questioning glance in his direction.
Will you do it? his voice echoed, despite his lips not moving.
Jared had the look of a child staring back at him for the moment before his face turned serious. He looked back to where Kasume was placed and said nothing. He could feel it. Her power was starting to rise. So here he was, taking a deep breath and tightening his fists. With his inhale, traces of blue mist entered his nostrils before he emitted a low growl. The mistress, with a sudden burst of light, took to the sky. Then she made her attempt to descend on him, rocketing her angry fist on down for his head and that's when he did it. The boy snapped backwards and came within inches of touching the ground with his upper back. No more wondering how low he could go. His feet came off the ground and he spun to the left wildly and brought his right leg around completely for her neck.
He stopped himself quickly and planted his hands and feet before chasing into her. His right fist swung around for the upper back to plant her against the ground once more. His left hand was wide open and had formed a small sphere of light. He lobbed this sphere while traveling back just slightly more and snapped his fingers. The one sphere became two and dropped upon her quickly thereafter. Her continuous charge from there on was heavily telegraphed and so he gathered his energy to produce a protective aura around his body that highly buffered the incoming elbow she attempted to make. She assailed him after with the heat of her breathing which admittedly did push him back some. But when she crashed into him with her forceful tackle, he made an absolute attempt roll back and reverse the tackle. Feeling her energy churn within her the boy developed a defensive curl before being consumed by a heavy wave of energy. That's when his surprise would be sprung. When the dust settled he could be seen, feet planted and hands cupped. Connecting his wrists together the boy took aim at her direction and belted the vicious blue light beam from the center of his connected hands.

The maiden's violent assault met with Jared's wild return. By coming in with the charge, she soon found out for herself the boy had been far from lazy. Though she still managed to complete attack, it was not without taking on some serious retaliation. She only saw him briefly after the dust settled from her previous attack before he fired back at her. Her eyes displayed surprise. But it was just before the beam reached her that the maiden flashed a bit of a grin. Despite tucking her head and tightening her stance defensively, the energy beam's bite sunk into her potently. The explosion was grand upon connecting with her. Her body exited the smoke cloud, still somehow maintaining her defensive tuck before she smacked the ground with her back. She bounced once before falling flat. The maiden let out a hefty single cough and attempted to sit upright.
"S...so, you've become this...what's the word...?" she let out before sprawling onto her back.
She smiled and relaxed her body on the ground, "You've become quite...audacious..." she uttered before allowing her consciousness to fade in front of him.
