Bronya was given no time to come up with a plan as both Kiana and I disappeared in an instant.
I appeared first on her left, causing her eyes to dilate. She raised her arms to defend but...
She was hit with a punch in the ribs from Kiana.
The moment that blow landed, the flood gates opened,
Left hook
Right jab
Thigh kick
Shoulder blow
Bronya's arms started to shake from the blows, shuddering from blocking a blow from me. The momentum of my force sent her flying, only to be met with Kiana's thundering blows.
That sent her in a daze. Her defence became more desperate, more messy. Unfortunately for her, all that did was allow for more blows to slip through her defence.
All Bronya could do to weather such an unrelenting storm was to frantically defend herself with her arms and try to run.
The thing was, she wasn't very quick at doing so compared to Kiana and I.
When Bronya began to stumble, looking like she was about to drop, Kiana and I went for the final blow.
We moved as one. I swung a haymaker at her chin just as Kiana's foot blurred toward the back of her head.
A perfect pincer strike.
If this landed, she probably wouldn't be getting up for a while.
It was at this moment that Bronya finally muttered...
"Project Bunny 19C... Activate,"
At that moment, a hazy shimmer appeared, the air itself warping under a sudden force. before it materialised...
Into a mecha?
She has a fricking stand?
I didn't have time to think however, as her mecha, Project Bunny as she called it, swiped in a circle with its drill, causing Kiana and I to retreat hastily.
Bronya began to float in the air, her stand standing behind her.
Well, Kiana and I didn't get a chance to finish our jumpjutsu, but by the looks of it, I had already achieved my goal.
Bronya had to reveal her cards first.
I noticed that one of the arms of that mecha was a lance that looked like awfully similar to a drill though...
Wait...
Mecha
Drill...
Don't tell me...
Is she going to row row fight da powah?
...
Nah, I'm overthinking it.
"What is that?!" Kiana shouted in shock. "You have some sort of summon?"
Bronya, in spite of the injuries she had suffered from our sudden offensive, managed to keep a neutral face while ignoring Kiana. Underneath however, she was definitely not happy considering what she did next.
"Target locked. Project Bunny 19C. Initiate offensive protocols." Bronya said coldly as she immediately charged towards Kiana, Project Bunny just behind her.
"Heh, so what if you get a fancy robot? All it did was make it a 2 vs 2!" Kiana said as she tried to meet Bronya's offensive.
I wanted to sigh when I saw Kiana's actions.
She's being impulsive again.
The one getting jumped right now was her...
I moved as well, trying to cover Kiana. Bronya, to her credit, knew that it wouldn't be good to allow me back into the fight. Thus, she purposely led Kiana away with her movements, while trying to land a good blow with the lance.
She wasn't trying to stab Kiana however. Merely trying to swat at her with the lance.
If she was, I'd already have ended the fight.
How I'd do it?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Kiana dodged Project Bunny's attacks relatively well. Her great physicality allowed for her to weave between the blows with acrobatics.
In spite of that, it was clear as day that Kiana was getting outmaneuvered.
Just like in the games we played, Kiana had great mechanics, but they weren't great enough to overcome brain diff.
I appeared above the mecha in a burst of speed, dropping down with an axe kick.. The mecha, which had been attacking Kiana, interrupted its movements as it raised the shield in its other arm to block.
Kiana took that as an opportunity. She went in close towards Bronya, fist cocked back and ready to deliver a haymaker.
But Bronya wasn't inept in close combat herself as she barely managed to weave the blow and make some distance again.
I didn't let her this time.
Twisting and turning my body, I completely avoided Project Bunny's attempts at defense as I arrived behind Bronya's retreating figure.
And then, I shot my strike straight at her face.
Bronya's body tensed, her eyes flickering between Kiana and me, calculating, searching for an escape that didn't exist.
She was truly trapped this time around. Kiana was running towards her from the front, while I was at her back, ready to smash...
Ai yo?
I think that was bad phrasing.
Bronya shut her eyes, bracing for impact. I was surprised about this inside. Did she not have any more tools up her sleeve?
If that was the case, then she's kinda...
Weak?
Well, maybe she was just hiding some of the bigger guns. I admire her discipline though if this was the case, considering that not many could stop themselves from instinctively using their tools to defend themselves.
My fist whizzed towards her face, the wind picking up as my fist moved through space. And just as fist was about to make contact with skin...
I stopped an inch before her face.
And flicked her on the forehead instead.
"Boop!"
"Huh?"
Bronya let out a confused squeak.
Kiana, who had been charging at Bronya, slowed down when she saw my actions.
I took advantage of Kiana letting down her guard as well, as I moved between them and grabbed both of them by the waist.
Then, I held them like I was carrying two bags.
"Haha, I win!" I shouted triumphantly.
"GOJO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!!" Betrayal was clear in Kiana's tone. "I thought we were ganging up on her!!"
I sighed. "Kiana. In the end, this is a free for all. Don't hate the player, hate the game."
Kiana struggled animatedly in my arms as she wiggled around frantically. Bronya seemed to remain shellshocked at my actions for a while before she realised what had happened.
"Subject Gojo has used all sides to obtain victory?"
"GG ez."
"I'LL BEAT YOU UP NEXT GOJO!! LET ME GO!!"
Bronya blinked at my words for a moment before looking at the position that she and Kiana were in.
"The Bronya has a query, Subject Gojo."
"Yes?"
"Is Subject Gojo attempting to court both Subject Kiana and the Bronya?"
"Oh. Sorry. I forgot that the two of you were girls for a moment."
I didn't continue, but the reason was clear.
Kiana and Bronya's expression both turned ugly in an instant.
"The Bronya is still growing."/"I'm still growing ok!!"
"Yea yea. Whatever you say kids."
"I'm older than you by 10 minutes!!!"
"Oh yea, I forgot we shared a birthday."
Both of our birthdays were on December 7th. Isn't that funny?
That was next month as well.
"The Bronya requests that Subject Gojo lets her go."
"Yea! I'm not a suitcase ok!"
"Ok." I said as I immediately dropped both of them, causing them to fall to the ground.
Kiana landed face first, but Bronya used her tech thingy(that's what I assumed was doing it) to help her levitate and return to proper posture.
"Subject Gojo is very strong." Bronya said as a matter of fact. "The strongest among us."
"Stop!" I raised a hand. "Don't call me that."
Bronya tilted her head to the side. "The Bronya is unsure why Subject Gojo is unwilling to be called that?"
"I have my reasons..." I said in a sagely manner.
"I'm stronger..." Kiana said at the side, while glaring at me. "Can't you be more gentle?"
"Shouldn't you be able to stop yourself from falling face first if you're stronger then?"
"I-I just wasn't ready for it..."
"Objection. Probability of Kiana spouting falsehoods are 99.99%."
"Probability of me spitting fax is 10000%!!"
I just stood at the side there, watching Kiana and Bronya bickering.
Kids, am I right?
(A/N: How was the chapter? Please give powerstones and comments if you liked it.
By the way, should I do a powerstone for chapter thing? I dunno how many chapters I can realistically pump out though.)
