Celestial Zone 2.1 Fanfic Novel - Chapter 9: Mission Accomplished.

author's notes: The strange marks appearing around jay are symbols of constellations, however, since Ruby doesn't understand these and cant be bothered, so he doesn't recognise those symbols.

"Akaiikugan" means red eyes. This is the name of Ruby's special skill. When ESP power is concentrated into the eyes, he is able to see ESP power trails anywhere, even in the human body. When ESP powers hit any part of his body and is directed to his eyes, he is able to read into the person's actual personality.

Ruby grinned widely, as he saw the target getting real pissed. Flicking out a finger, hr discharged a mildly annoying ESP Sting, comparable to a stab with a very sharp toothpick.

The target gave a little jump as the Sting hit, then turn about to face Ruby, brushing off the girl.

Ruby shouted, “Can you catch me? Slowie!” Ruby took off towards the designated area setup for a fight, sure that the damages would be minimal. Looking back, he was pleased the target did not fall back, but was gaining on him; Ruby gave a excited little shiver.

“Here’s someone who’s finally gonna put on a good fight.” Ruby chuckled.

The area reached, Ruby turned around, posing a Sir Stamford Raffles Pose with a little smile on his lips. The area is nothing more than an empty space behind two warehouses on the riverside, an adequate place. The target reached just a moment later, not at all looking breathless, which was good; Ruby hated to be made to wait for the fight.

“Good, you’re looking good. Name’s Ruby, what’s yours?” Ruby asked, annoyingly polite.

The target did not reply, merely made flapping motions with a single hand, a look of concentration on his angry face. Ice crystals the size of snow flakes began to form in the air, the temperature around the area pummeled to the depths. The target punched out with his hand, a blast of icy cold wind started howling, blinding everything and pushing everything towards Ruby.

“Diamond Dust!!” he shouted, a glowing strange marking appearing in the air in front of him, then settling down to his body.

When the winds settled, Ruby was encased in an ice block, much like an ice coffin. “Spirits of Fire – Heat Skin!” Ruby said quietly amidst the howling winds. The diamond dust did not last even 5 seconds before exploding outwards. Ruby stood shaking his hands, as if shaking out water, his whole body glowing cheery red. Steam was rising from all over Ruby’s person. Ruby looked up with a smile, “You like it?”

The target looked startled, as if finding it hard to believe his skills did not work on Ruby. He crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes, as if newly accessing the abilities of Ruby. The markings disappeared.

Ruby grinned, “Watch now!” and proceed to deactivate Heat Skin. Ruby’s eyes glowed as he activate his Akaiikugan, then clenched his fist and sprint forward, “Akaiikugan, kai! Spirits of Wind – Cyclone Limbs!”

Ruby’s four limbs glowed green for a moment, then formed into green scales forming nicely into a set of gauntlets for the hands and greaves for the legs.

The target’s eyes widen as he lost sight of Ruby for a moment, before suddenly flicking his arms out, “Great Horn!!” as he caught sight of Ruby’s widely grinning face at arm’s length. His arms glowed with another strange marking for an instant.

A psychic shockwave in the form of a giant bull blasted out at Ruby, but was shattered after an instant of clashing with a bright green light from Ruby’s gauntlets. The target’s eyes widen in surprise, as the great Horn was broken. However, there was no power difference, as the gauntlets shattered upon contact with the target’s arms, causing no damages whatsoever.

Ruby’s eyes glowed stabbing red for a painful moment when he came into contact with the Great Horn. When the gauntlets shattered, Ruby looked surprised for a split second before doing 3 consecutives back flips to get out of range of a sudden snap kick from the target.

“Starlight Extinction!!” The target pointed at Ruby, another strange marking appearing in midair, spinning rapidly. Ruby became surrounded by a pillar of starlight. As Ruby began to fade away, so did a shout, “Spirits of Fire - Fiery Reversal!”

The starlight burned up into nothingness, yet all it contained was a fiery image of Ruby.

“We are evenly matched, Jay. Yes I know your name. You passed! Don’t worry, I’m not your enemy. Should you want to find out more about me, ask around for Chiaki.” Echoed Ruby’s voice, laughingly, dauntingly, mockingly.
