C12 Raven

At the arena, Pit and Govo were staring at each other with a stern demeanor, leaving Cloud and the other students to stare at them with great anticipation.

"At last, i can finally get to see what these two can do." Cloud said within himself, "A battle between two A+ warriors, Govo and Pit. Man, my body is shaking with excitement!"

"I never thought, I'd see these two battle." Sting said.

"Who do you think will win this fight?" A female student asked.

"My bet is on Govo!" A male student said.

"My bet is on Pit!" Another male student said.

"I don't care! I just want to see them fight!" A female student said.

"Man, this is going to be epic!" Another female student said.

From afar, the teachers who were also staring watching with anticipation, began to discuss with themselves.

"Tell me, Zotek... Who do you think will win?" Schroeder asked.

"That, i cannot say." Zotek replied, "These two are incredibly strong and to be honest, i never imagined that I'd see a battle between them."

"Yeah." Leorona said with a smile, "These two are indeed powerful, however, it would seem that Govo doesn't see Pit as a threat. To be that confident against someone like Pit... I'd truly like to see how this fight turns out. What do you think, Ze-"

Leorona and Schroeder stared at Zera with a wtf face as Zera was grinning wildly and breathing heavily.

Back at the arena, Govo yawned and stretched himself a bit while Pit faced the ground with her eyes closed.

"Pit, right?" Govo asked with a raised eyebrow, "I have another match after this. Let's get this over with."

Pit quickly raised her head and opens her eyes and in an instant, Pit's pitch black irises turned blue.

"Begin!" Trengal said.

Govo advanced towards Pit in high speed, with the attempt to punch her but Pit bends over his attack.

"He-he's fast!" Cloud said within himself in shock.

Govo releases a torrent of speedy left handed jabs which Pit was evading. Pit leaps back but Govo appeared in front of her again and resumes his speedy left jabs.

"Galphamitt!" Govo said as the speed of his left jab rapidly increases, making it look like a hundred hands trying to hit her.

Pit suddenly interrupts Govo's attacks with a high side kick to his head, which sent him in a twisting motion in the air, leaving the audience stunned at what they've just witnessed.

Govo, who happened to be stunned as well, stood on his feet and cleaned the blood of his lips. Pit accelerated towards Govo with the attempt to punch him but Govo reflexively bends over and stepped back a bit.

Pit releases two speedy left jabs (which Govo evades) and began to release a torrent of speedy left jabs.

"Galphamitt." Pit said as the speed of her left jab suddenly increases, making it look like a hundred hands hitting Govo.

Govo tries to land a palm strike on Pit's belly during her assault but Pit neutralizes it by using her own palm strike to lock hands with his.

"What??!!" Govo said within himself in shock.

Pit quickly tossed Govo to her back and lands a back-fist on his face which made him hop back a bit.

"Suunikun." Pit said as she releases a strong wind pressure shockwave towards Govo with her punch while he was still in motion, causing him to roll back roughly on the ground.

The audience and the students became amazed and shocked with they just witnessed and began to murmur among themselves.

"She's good." A female said.

"Indeed, she is really good." A male said.

"Yeah, i think the boy with the ponytail, is starting to learn the hard way, never to underestimate his opponents." Another female said.

"This can't be happening." A male student said.

"Pit is overpowering him." A female student said.

"Impossible." Another female said.

"Uh, hey, Sting." Cloud said, "Can you explain what is going on here?"

"I'll help ya." A masculine voice said.

Cloud and Sting quickly turned to see the person, who happened to be a blonde boy with his head almost shaved, leaving only the bangs on his forehead.

"Rish." Cloud said with a raised eyebrow, "You said you'll explain what is going on here."

"Yeah." Rish said while facing the arena, "You see, Govo is known as the "Reaper's flash" due to his incredible speed. I could easily dodge 5 lightning strike while I'm half asleep but i couldn't even dodge Govo's Galphamitt while i was fully focused.

When i was placed in Govo's team to collect the finger of Akulo from the Lerekons, in one of our dungeon tasks, we were overwhelmed.

The Lerekons that were present during that incident, were stronger and faster than us. Not to mention that they outnumbered us; We were all completely helpless in the fight. All of us except Govo, that is.'

A flashback occurs a few months ago as fish-like humanoids known as the Lerekons placed their feet on the backs of Rish and his teammates. Rish tries to force himself up but the female Lerekon that placed her foot on his back, easily pushed him down to the ground again and smirks at him.

"I tried to warn you guys that you are going the wrong way but you wouldn't listen." A masculine voice said.

The Lerekons quickly turns and sees the person to be Govo, who happened to staring at his reflection with a handheld mirror while gently stroking his hair.

"I knew i shouldn't have gotten their product." Govo said, "Never buy a hair lotion from the Izari tribe, if you still value your hair, that is."

"Who is he and how did he get here?" A female Lerekon asked within herself, "Sensing his power, he is dangerous... We cannot underestimate him."

"Mataga!" The female Lerekon said, "Get rid of him!"

"You've got it, Zaiya!" Mataga said, "My attacks moves faster than what the eyes can see! He'll die in an instant!"

Mataga appears in front of Govo while he was still paying attention to the mirror and shoots seven energy balls from his fingers towards Govo. Govo, however, easily evades all seven while still staring at his reflection.

A gum suddenly falls in front of Rish and Zaiya, leaving them stunned as Mataga falls on the ground with his face being crushed by the shape of a fist while covered in blood.

"Ew, disgusting. Got blue blood on my hands" Govo said calmly while trying to shake off the blood.

Govo's teammates and the Lerekons stared in shock and the Lerekons quickly advanced towards Govo (who was still paying attention to his reflection).

After recalling that moment, Rish turned to look at Cloud and Sting.

"Before i could say 'Ah' i found all of them on the ground and Govo with Akulo's finger." Rish said.

"Woah! This guy is good!" Cloud said in shock, "But how is Pit able to keep up with him?"

"Pit is another powerful warrior who gained the title as 'The copy raven'." Rish said, "Those blue eyes you see ... They are known as the Panora eyes. Those eyes allows her to read her opponents soul to see their next movement and copy their strength, speed and techniques."

"Okay, so if that's the case, then why is everyone acting so surprised about her dominating him?" Cloud asked.

"Because Pit was destroyed by Karma." Rish replied.

"Huh!" Cloud said with a raised eyebrow.

"You see, Pit and Karma used to be rivals until things got out of control and they had a fight." Sting said while smiling, "Karma defeated Pit by moving so fast that even her eyes couldn't see a thing and trust me, what happened to Pit wasn't a pretty sight. I bet many thought that she was dead.

Funny part is that the month, this fight happened was the month you arrived and when Pit finally recovered, she wasn't acting like herself, again. She was no longer that awkward girl that would say awkward things. She became quiet and detached from others. Its like the shame was too great for her. Well, i can't blame her, for someone like her who had so much talent that even the teachers claimed that she has the potential to become an S ranked candidate, only to be humiliated and comatose for months... Its terrible if you ask me."

"I see..." Cloud said as he faces the arena, "So, the reason people are surprised with what is going on, is because no one expected her to be keeping up with Govo's speed."

Back at the arena, Pit crossed her arms and stared down at Govo, who happened to be on the ground and breathing heavily.

"I see." Govo said within himself as he cleans the blood on his lips, "So, this is the copy raven. To think that she would be an easy victory... Was a foolish mistake.

Each of my moves, she has copied and dished them back at me; From my speeding jabs to my Galphamitt. Even the palm strike ... The back fist and my Suunikun... She copied every last detail, right before i could do any of them.

Looks like I have to get serious if I'm going to win this round."

Govo stood on his feet and smiles at Pit.

"Alright, let's go." Govo said.

Govo began to walk round Pit, creating countless afterimages in the process.

"What's he doing?" Cloud asked.

"I'm not sure." Sting replied, "Wait a minute, don't tell me-!"

As countless afterimages had surrounded Pit, a black-red image suddenly moves towards Pit with the attempt to punch her which Pit evades.

As Pit evades the attack, another black-red image quickly moves towards Pit to punch her from the left but Pit evades the attack as well, only for another black-red image to strike her from behind and for Govo to land a punch on her face, which sent her rolling backwards.

Pit stabilizes herself but immediately noticed the blood flowing from her nose. Govo began to walk towards Pit while emitting a black-red aura and instantly vanishes. Pit quickly backflips from the spot she was on and a large crater appeared on the ground, which happened to be another dark image of Govo that attempted to land a downward punch on her, however more clones quickly sprung out of the dark image; Each attacking her, turn by turn with astonishing speed before vanishing, but Pit was able to block and evade every last one.

Govo swiftly appears in front of Pit and lands an elbow attack on her belly.

"Narak!" Govo said as a wave moved through her and levelled the ground in the process, causing Pit to cough out spittle and step back a bit while clutching her belly and breathing heavily.

Pit instantly falls on her knees and began vomit to cough blood, leaving the crowd shocked with what they've just witnessed; Govo stared down at Pit with his head slightly bent while keeping a stern demeanor.

"Just like that, Govo has taken control of the match!" Trengal said, "Govo isn't messing around, anymore!!"

At the audience center, Cloud became confused at what just happened as his focus became fixed on Govo.

"What just happened?" Cloud asked, "He just took control like it was nothing!"

"You see, Cloud, what you just witnessed there, was Govo's kan ability of 'Soul drive'." Sting said, "It's a kan ability of his that allows him to create a replica of his soul with the color of his aura and use it for battle; The funny part of this is that the replica moves as fast as Govo and is capable of creating clones of itself to overwhelm it's opponents.

Now, i know what you are thinking... How is Govo still able to move his body if he has such an ability? That i don't know. But what i do know is that right now, Pit is unable to do anything against him.

"And why is that?" Cloud asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Because Pit cannot copy Kan abilities." Sting replied, "It's one of her limits. When Govo started walking round Pit to create afterimages, he did it in order to make sure that he gets lost in his countless afterimages and disorient Pit, making it hard for her to follow him and then attack her with his soul drive."

"Govo is moving faster than he was at the beginning." Rish said, "His soul drive also gives him an intense boost of speed, plus I don't think she might be able to read Govo's soul while he is using his soul drive. Pit is in real trouble."

"Looks like that pony tail boy is finally getting serious." A female said while folding her arms.

"Yeah, he is." A male replied, "This ought to get interesting."

Back at the arena, Govo watches as Pit struggles to stand on her feet and smirks at her.

"Alright, shall we continue?" Govo asked.

Govo immediately races towards Pit and punched her in the face, right before she could react which sent her rolling backwards. Pit quickly stabilizes herself but ended being attacked by Govo and his images from different angles. During the assault, Pit sets her arms to guard but suddenly found her guard brought down.

"Oh no, you don't." Govo said while shimmering.

Govo disappears from the area and Pit began to react to invisible attacks, leading her to cough out blood during the attacks.

"Oh my! This is becoming one-sided!!" Trengal said, "Govo of the Ripar tribe, is flexing his superiority in this tournament!!"

Pit drops to her knees and Govo appears before her in mid air and hurls his fist (which was engulfed with black-red aura) towards her.

A fist engulfed with blue aura, suddenly hits Govo on the left cheek and sent him bouncing back which appeared to be Pit's fist.

"What the-!" Cloud and Trengal said within themselves.

All the audience including the teachers and the Chiefs stared in shock at what they've just witnessed.

"Wha-what just happened now?!" Trengal asked in shock.

Govo groaned in pain as he stood up while holding his cheek. Govo opens his eyes and sees Pit in battle stance, hoping sideways while shimmering.

"Let's go." Pit said.

Pit began to attack Govo from different angles while shimmering. During this incident, blue images quickly sprung out of Pit and were attacking Govo, turn by turn before vanishing.

Pit lands a high knee on Govo's chin and performs a back handspring kick on Govo's head; Blue images of Pit quickly sprung out the moment she performed the back handspring, each rapidly performing a back handspring kick on Govo's head before vanishing. Pit lands an elbow attack Govo's belly, which made him cough out spittle.

"Narak!" Pit said as a wave moved through him and levelled the ground in the process, causing Govo to scream in agony and cough out blood at the same time.

"HOLY...!" Trengal said, "PIT HAS TURNED THE TABLES IN AN INSTANT! THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD FOR GOVO AT ALL!!!"

The students stared in shock at what they were witnessing as Pit was hitting Govo from different directions while shimmering with her blue images.

"What's... What's going on?" A female student asked, "Pit is moving exactly like Govo."

"Yeah, i know." A male student said, "This is crazy!"

"I don't understand." Rish said, "She can't copy Kan abilities. So why is she able to move like this?"

"I think i have an explanation for that." Cloud said, "There was something i heard about Pit being extremely good at manipulating her own aura and strengthening it. Is it true?"

"Yeah, it's true." Sting replied, " Don't know if it is something she learnt or something she copied. But what does that... Wait... Are you..?"

"It might sound stupid but if she can't truly copy Kan abilities then this is the only logical explanation that can be thought of." Cloud said, "Think about it. What if Pit was able to copy the speed that Govo was currently moving at and then decided to use her aura manipulation skills to assist her."

"Not bad." Rish said, "But doing something like this, won't it put an intense strain on her body? Not to mention that doing something like this, would take a high level of concentration."

"You think that matters to Pit?" Sting asked, "Ever since she lost and recovered, she talks less and concentrates more. No doubt about it, if it was the old Pit that fought Karma, she won't last against Govo, but now..."

"The balls are in her court." Sting said while grinning.

Back at the arena, Govo was reacting to invisible attacks and quickly sets his arms to guard which was broken as Pit uses one leg to hold Govo's arms and bring them down.

"She's even copied my guard breaking move of Sugada! " Govo said within himself in shock.

Flashing images of Pit and her blue replicas rotated round Govo which levelled the ground; Three blue replicas of Pit appeared in front of Govo and lands a high kick to his chin while balancing on one hand, sending Govo high into the air. Pit appeared in the air with Govo and attacks with a backflip kick that drove Govo straight to the ground, creating a large smoke screen in the process.

As the smokescreen had cleared, Pit stood in front of Govo and stared down at him while he was laying on the ground.

"Why you..!" Govo said weakly while emitting a black-red aura as he struggled to get up.

Govo's aura suddenly vanishes which left him in shock.

"What the...!" Govo said, " My Kan...! I can't-!"

"Its over, Govo." Pit cuts in, "While i was attacking you, i was hitting some specific pressure points of your body in order to break your Kan ability. This is technique is known as 'The touch of null'; In other words, just forget about using your Kan ability for a few minutes.

You are strong but as of right now, you cannot beat me, so I'd advise you to choose your actions wisely; Surrender..."

"Or continue." Pit said as her blue irises glowed brighter.
