*Ping!* *Ping!* *Plang!* *Plang!* The battle between Hunter and Huge is getting intense. Their blows were getting stronger with each strike.

"*Ping!* Oi, Huge. Why do you follow Joe?" Hunter asked.

"*Plang!* Why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious. You're so strong, you should just go offer your services to us or go travel around the world saving lives. Why choose to follow him? What is so special about him?" Hunter asked.

"A person like you won't understand. I have my own reasons for following him. Less talk, more action! Haa!" Huge swung his blade at Hunter.

"Fire Breath!" Hunter shot a breath of fire at Huge. Huge parried it with his own fire.

"Not yet. Fire Whip!" Hunter summoned a fire whip and swung it at Huge.

"Fire Knock!" A fire dragon which acted like a fist appeared on Huge's arm and it countered the whip. 

"Hoho... You can counter my whip with just a punch. You're as strong as you look! Fire Fall!" Hunter summoned a fire cloud and it rained fire on Huge.

"Hmph. Fire is my element. I won't lose when it comes to fire manipulation!! Fire Cannon!" Huge absorbed the fire attack and converted it into his own attack.

"Ho. You can do that too? I haven't fought you before so I don't know much about you.... Entertain me more!" Hunter charged straight into the attack.

"Cancer Strike!!" Hunter used Xancer and attacked in a X pattern. Huge parried the attack by doing a counter + attack with Ichikamonji.

"Lotus Strike!!" Huge jumped back and summoned a replica of Ichikamonji and attacked in a * pattern.

"Heh. Not bad but too slow!" Hunter jumped out of the attack range and shot fire balls at Huge.

"Pyroclasm!" Huge clicked his fingers and the fire balls stopped moving and disappeared.

"Controlling my fire now are we? Seems that using fire won't work on you that well. Hmph. Doesn't matter. I don't rely much on fire anyways. Let's take this into a hand to hand combat, Huge!!" Having said that, Hunter grabbed Xancer and began charging at Huge.

"Well said. Fire won't work against both of us. I've always wanted to test how strong you are in close combat!! Haaaa!!" Huge attacked with Ichikamonji.

Huge did a quick swipe of his sword but Hunter dodged it and did a 360 at Huge. *Ping!* Huge parried it.

"Not bad. How'll you handle this! Hiyaa!" Hunter spun 360 twice and struck Huge from above and below. That made Huge flinch for a second.

"Fire Punch!" Hunter readied a punch for the mini-stunned Huge and Huge got a direct hit from it and flew a distance backwards, almost dropping off the roof.

"Urgh.... You got me good. Flame Wings: Fire Barrage!!" Huge summoned two fire wings as huge as a phoenix's wings and several small fire bullets were rained upon Hunter.

"Idiot. Didn't we already make it clear that fire will work on neither of us? Fire Barrier!" Hunter summoned a flame barrier which blocked the fire bullets raining down on him.

"Oh really? Did you do your homework, Hunter?" Huge smiled and continued his attack.

"My homework? Are you insulting me, the leader of O.M.G?! Don't get cocky!!" Hunter fired up his shield and it became as big as a beach umbrella.

"Burn through, Fire Bomb!" The fire bullets pierced through the barrier and upon impact, it exploded. Several mini explosions combined and it became a huge explosion.

"URWAGH!!!!!!!!" Hunter was caught up in the explosions and took severe damage.

"Fire Wings: Detach! Fire Ray!" The wings detached itself and it became a missile, aimmed at Hunter.

"It's over, Hunter!"

"Muhahahahahaa!! You sure talk big for a man your size. Come at me." Just as the missile reached less than a metre away from Hunter, Hunter used Xancer to absorb the attack. "I'll pay you back in double. COUNTER FURY!!!!!!" Hunter's Xancer absorbed the missile and it merged with his own flames and unleashed a slash twice the size and width of Fire Breath.

"What?! Fire Shield!" Huge tried to defend himself but it was too weak to withstand the attack. "UWRAGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" The roof floor cracked a few lines and Huge was blown upwards due to the force of the attack and dropped down on the floor at a height of a metre.

"Urgh! *Cough* ..." Huge's old wound that Cecilia inflicted opened and it contributed to the damage of the attack.

"Muhahahahaha!! Are you tired already Huge? Out of steam? Too bad! But I must say, you're the first who ever inflicted this much damage to me out of all my opponents. I must congratulate you on that. If you can still stand after that attack, I'll fight you again, immediately, with full power." Hunter then clapped his hands to show his approval that Huge had damaged him.

"*Cough* *Cough* I may not look like it, but I am tough..... Fight me with all you've got, Hunter. *Blaze*" Huge's Ichikamonji lit up with his flames, even hotter and darker. 

"Mode Change: Ragneros's Wrath!!" A huge column of flames erupted beneath Huge and a few minutes later, he came out of of the flames, with new armour and longer hair. His face, arms, legs all had hellish markings on them. "Show me what you've got, Hunter!" Huge readied his Ichikamonji.

"Hoho. Now you're talking. I am a man of my words. I shall fight you with my full power. Xancer! Transformation X." Xancer then got absorbed into Hunter and a huge column of flames surrounded him just like Huge. He stepped out of the flames shortly after, with two blades. It appears that Xancer has split itself into two blades. Hunter got a helmet on his head, new armour and shoes. "Cancer Mode. This is my ultimate mode. Let's see if you are really what you said you are." Hunter then readied his twin swords. 

With this, the heated battle between the fire element fighters continues.
