Seijin was insanely fast. Pretty much as much as Zeros'. It took him all of 2 seconds to blur across the town and find himself directly behind Jayce. He turned a quick flip and slashed directly downwards with Transcender.
"This one's out of our league," said Zion.
"You sell yourself too short."

Ladies and gentlemen, the conclusion.
The two warriors drew near, pulling back their hands...
"Chidori!!!" "Spiral Sphere!!!"
The two attacks connected, sending out a huge shockwave out in all directions for miles and miles. The attacks started to react as they pushed against each other. The combining attacks then became a mass of energy, pulsating and growing rapidly. Eventually, it grew to consume the two, the sphere crackling madly with electricity. Inside, the two continued their struggle. The lightning edge and the spiralling sphere could still be seen.
Suddenly, a flash!
I'm here again... But this is different. I feel completely and totally different. This is the part I didn't get to before...
It is a place where there is only light, and only darkness. Nothing exists here, and everything exists here. Nothing happens here, and everything happens here at the same time. Here, everything is possible, yet at the same time impossible. There is no time here, yet all the time in the world is condensed into this nowhere, into this everywhere. It is conceivably inconceivable phenomenon; a paradox with the power to revive or destroy the world. This place is Paradox.
Tsu and Aura stood their, free of their demonic forms. They were free of them because the representation of Anti was right there... A huge demon reminiscent of the Zero Weapon, but much more organic, and colored red. It roared at the two.
"Tsu, how'd we get here?"
"...Don't know. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that we destroy this."
<span style='color:red'>"You will do no such thing. Hell Bind!"</span>
The attack that appeared was very similar to Aura's Shining Bind, except it was black, powered by darkness, and pushed downwards instead of upwards. It came so suddenly, they couldn't do anything but get hit by it.
"Ugh... Aura, I have an idea..."
"What's that?"
Anti created a huge ball of darkness in its hands and flung it at the two. Tsu grabbed Aura, who surprisingly clung to him, and jumped upwards, over the ball. They landed and he let go of her. She was a little slow to the punch and let off a little later. Tsu raised his hand and flung it down. He held the crackling hand out toward Aura. "Create a Rasengan. Quickly."
"Rasengan?"
"A spiral sphere. Come on, hurry."
"R-right." She visualised the electric energy in Tsu's hand starting to swirl. She somewhat feared it shocking her, but she still complied, starting to swirl the lightning around, striking it in various places repeatedly with her palms. Soon enough, it was ready. Anti created one more ball of darkness...
Tsu went to the other side of Aura, backing up a bunch. He had to get it right the first time. "Alright, when I pass you, grab me and throw me!"
"What!? O-okay..."
Tsu darted by at full speed, holding out his left hand. Aura grabbed it, and spun around a few times, another Mario 64 style throw. She let go at precisely the right time. Anti threw the ball then. Tsu pulled his left hand back, and thrusted it forward. "Twilight Blast!" The blacklight beam shot through the ball, cutting it in two and causing it to vaporize away. The beam shot through right to Anti, hitting it in the forehead, and causing it to stagger back. "It's over!" Tsu came up on the demon's chest...
"螺旋丸千鳥!!!"
Rasengan Chidori
Spiral Sphere ~ One Thousand Birds
He thrust the hand forward with all of his might toward the demon's heart, connecting. The sphere swirled around against the skin, the lightning edge component allowing it to cut through. It was like a swirling ball with knives all over it. Electrically-charged knives. Tsu shot right through. The demon became electrocuted right after Tsu shot through, and fell to its knees, then right on it's face. Aura was standing just two feet from its head. The demon then dematerialized.
Tsu walked over to Aura. It had hit him now, how she had clung to him when they jumped away from the first sphere. He wasn't sure how to talk to her. "It seems you're different now..."
"I'm sorry."
"What?"
Tears were starting to form in her eyes. She looked down, filled with sorrow. "I hurt you... I hurt you so much. I was so cruel... I had given in to the evil in me, because I'd been hurt by what I thought was good. I was denying my feelings." She looked up at him. "I can see now that you were struggling too. You were about to give in, too." Tsu looked down and to the side. "The guy I was talking about... To Zard. Way back when..."
"...I realize now... That's you. It feels so weird to say this all so suddenly when I've played the charade of hating you for so long... But I know it now."
Tears were visible now in Tsu's eyes, as if an impossible dream had come true. He couldn't hold back his emotions, and he clung to Aura, who willingly clung back. The two silently cried together... And were transported out of Paradox.
In the real world, the only thing visible was a large, gently pulsating white sphere. It shattered, and Tsu and Aura fell down to the ocean, upside down, still holding onto each other. The tide washed them onto a nearby shore, where they were no longer holding each other, except for two hands that were still held. They were asleep. They had just fought the battle of their lives, and needed rest.

As Seijin turned his flip, he could feel the happy ending that just occured. Good then... I'm glad it ended well.
