Na: Kira Takahashi
Age: 19
Alignnt: Chaotic Neutral
Race: Hesta
Level: 4
Ability Synopsis: Kira Takahashi is a brash, confident, and playfully cocky gyaru who awakened as a Hesta during the dawn of the Cleave. Her power, dubbed "Chaos Mirror" allows her to invert or flip opposing states—turning one condition into its direct opposite. This can apply to herself with minimal energy cost (e.g., small to gigantic, slow to fast, injured to uninjured, weak to overwhelmingly strong), making her a walking escalation machine. When targeting others or the environnt, the ability forces a mutual swap of circumstances between herself and the target (e.g., swapping injury/health states, positions, montum, or even relative power levels), but this drains a massive amount of her stored gaian energy and leaves her temporarily vulnerable if overused.
The power activates with a verbal trigger ("Switch!") and thrives on polarity: the greater the difference in states, the more dramatic the flip. She often starts fights deceptively small and unassuming, then switches to colossal size for overwhelming physical dominance, using swaps as a brutal counter when struck.
"What the hell is even going on with these participants?"
Nier grumbled, his voice thick with irritation.
"First so pretty-boy femboy who can ss with the future, and now a damn gyaru schoolgirl who can just flip reality around like it's nothing. What kind of broken-ass powers are these?"
He kept his left hand raised toward the north, palm out, where he had just yeeted that giant chick—Kira—miles away with a telekinetic blast.
His right arm, anwhile, ended in a clean flat stump just below the elbow. Blood dripped for half a second before his flesh started writhing, reshaping, knitting itself back together in a ripple of muscle and skin until a brand-new arm sat there like nothing had happened.
"Now it's just and that robot left."
He muttered, flexing the fresh fingers.
"Question is though… do I go pick a fight with that thing, or just dip? Honestly, all I ca here for was the damn license."
He weighed it for a second, lips pursed.
Then everything slowed.
Ti crawled to a near-stop around him—his mory Zone kicking in automatically the instant his eyes caught the glow. The mark on his chest pulsed under his hoodie, bright and hot.
Right in front of his face, inches away, hovered a thick purple laser beam—big enough to vaporize his entire head.
"What the?...”
The words barely left his mouth before he jerked sideways. The beam scread past him at full speed now that ti had snapped back, rocketing toward a distant mountain on the island.
KABOOM.
A massive chunk of a large mountain behind just… disappeared, leaving a smoking crater straight through the center of another one behind the first.
"Holy shit."
Nier breathed, his eyes wide.
"That thing packs a serious punch."
"Impressive."
A calm, familiar voice replied as she continued.
"The subject was able to evade the attack."
Nier whipped around.
Floating about twenty feet away was a familiar female android.
"Eva!"
He said as he look a her sleek fra, that humd with power, wrapped head to toe in a shimring blue aura of pure Gaian energy that let her hover effortlessly, kinda like how Nier was keeping himself aloft with telekinesis.
Her left arm had morphed into so kinda high-tech cannon: a long tal barrel lined with fancy reflectors and lenses, all pulling raw power straight from the Flux core buried deep inside her. The tip glowed faintly purple as it charged, aid square at Nier’s chest.
"Let's see how you fare at point-blank range."
She said, her voice flat and clinical.
And in the next mont a charge shot was fired
BOOOOOM!
A thick violet beam ripped through the air, screaming straight for him.
Ti ca to a crawled pace again—mory Zone snapping on instinctively. Space warped in front of Nier, splitting open like a tear in reality. Another portal appeared right behind Eva.
He dove through, using his new spatial gate spell.
Mid-fall, his left hand exploded into a massive bone sword—thick, jagged blades sprouting from his knuckles, edges gleaming wickedly. He reinforced his whole body with a cocktail of Gaian energy and raw negativity, swinging hard for her neck. Figured even if he took her head off, a robot wouldn't just die from that.
CLUNK!
Bone t so kinda insanely durable alloy and lost. Badly. His blade didn't leave so much as a scratch. The impact force just… vanished, sucked up like she had absorbed every last bit of kinetic energy from his blow.
"Whoa, that's tough!"
Nier blurted, genuinely shocked.
mory Zone was still chewing through his Gaian reserves to keep ti slowed, but even in that sluggish crawl, Eva moved.
"So manner of temporal deceleration, I assu."
She observed coolly.
"I detect significant Gaian expenditure in the imdiate vicinity."
"So you can pull off creepy shit like this too, huh?"
Nier shot back, half-curious, and wary.
Before he could pull away, her right hand snapped up—fingers clamping around the bone blade like it was nothing. With a casual flick, she yanked him forward and overhead, tossing him like a ragdoll despite the slowed ti.
He rocketed downward, smashing through a row of trees—snap, crack, boom—before slamming into the earth. The impact carved out a huge crater, the ground quaking hard enough to rattle the whole island.
Up above, Eva hovered calmly, watching the dust settle. Her cannon arm whined as it charged again, this ti brighter, hotter.
Flux energy condensed into a tight, focused beam. Then another. And another.
She opened fire.
Violet lances of light rained from the sky, hamring the crater over and over. Each blast erupted in massive fireballs, shockwaves tearing up the terrain like artillery strikes—strong enough to level entire city blocks in seconds. The ground or rather sand burned, cracked, turned to glass in places near the beach.
When the barrage finally stopped, Eva scanned the devastation below. The whole area glowed red-hot, a bubbling scar of molten rock and steam.
Her sensors pinged, sweeping for heat signatures.
One blip stood out.
"Incredible."
She murmured, almost to herself.
"I have never encountered a Corrupt User with this density of Flux energy before, not only is it ominous and violent. It's so concentrated that it is physically visible even to the human eye, and just as tangible… like a flexible, indestructible sheet of silk.”
Eva's sensors locked onto the signature as the sea of blood surged inward, swallowing the molten crater and rapidly cooling the scorched earth. At the epicenter stood Nier, encased in a shimring telekinetic barrier that pulsed with a deep, nacing crimson glow.
"Barrier integrity exceeds expected paraters."
Eva stated in her flat, modulated voice.
Then, without warning or traceable origin, an invisible slash carved through the air.
A clean vertical cut materialized at her waist, severing her right arm and bisecting her lower torso in one silent stroke. Sparks flew alongside sprays of synthetic fluid, severed cables, and fragnts of exotic components that shouldn't exist in normal machinery all ca spilling out.
"Error. Attack vector undetected. Source unknown."
She intoned, confusion threading through the synthetic tone as her systems faltered.
Her upper half tumbled from the sky, trailing debris, before crashing sowhere far off in the blood-soaked distance.
Down in the crater, Nier let out a slow breath, the crimson barrier still humming steadily around him.
"Didn't think Dismissal Slash would burn through fifteen thousand ninety-nine units of negativity just to cut her."
He muttered, genuinely surprised at how tough she had turned out to be.
He flicked a hand, tearing open another portal beneath his feet, that spat him out right beside where Eva had landed.
She was already half-subrged in the thickening sea of blood, her injured body sparking weakly.
"There you are."
Nier said, stepping forward. The blood congealed under his boots with every stride, hardening into solid footing like it was greeting its master.
Eva's remaining optic flickered as she registered him.
"....Must repair.... Must rewind."
The mont the words left her vocalizer, reality stuttered.
The world began to rewind.
Trees un-snapped and straightened. Craters filled themselves. Flas sucked backward into nothingness. Even Eva's severed parts flew back into place, reattaching seamlessly as ti rolled in reverse, her body lifting back into the sky, wounds closing, debris reassembling.
Everything obeyed the reversal without hesitation.
Everything except Nier.
He stood there unmoving, untouched, watching the island, no the world heal itself around him like a video playing backward.
"So this is her ti-manipulation ability."
He murmured, glancing at the chaos flowing in reverse.
"This would have been a real pain if I wasn't well, , hahaha... Still this new collection of spells are insanely convenient, countering and attacking has never been easier till now."
In that mont though, Eva looked down confused by what she was seeing.
"How are you unaffected?"
"Sorry but ti doesn't work the sa way for as it does for you and everyone else in this world."
