This would've been over already... Haruki thought his while of fun will be gone soon, so great was the power of both of them at once, till a shadow fell onto him, placing his already dark form in an even deeper abyss. A huge shadow, cast by a figure, clad in dark armor, bearing a spiked mace big enough to effortlessly crush a grown man. That monster of a weapon was what was swung down on him.<br/>But Haruki was without fear, raising the black blade of Kurohana above his head, and slicing the club straight across, like a hot knife through butter... The figure took a step back, but he was faster, launching himself into the air in a spin to slash the figure in the face with the blade.<br/><br/>What a storm that was. He enjoyed it immensely... Kurohana itself was intoxicated with the excitement, going crazy with power. But both of them skyrocketed in strength too fast - that was bound to cause trouble...<br/>The katana's blade, coated in black, seemed elongating, even, changing its shape into one more akin of a long Nodachi. It shrouded Haruki's form in black, bits of the shadows flashing around his arms and hair, which now seemed more like a mane of whips, by far exceeding even its usual length. By every moment, he resembled Kurohana herself more and more.<br/><br/>The black blade could slice through anything that would be put before it. Another shadow of an enormous size, appearing before him, was sliced cleanly, the billowing winds of the storm only carrying him and helping him reach higher... He was a black lightning that smote shadows with darkness even deeper, it seemed.<br/><br/>All of a sudden, finding himself right opposite Blake, in the gap between the shadows attacking, his conscience wavered, and he fell onto the ground, flickers of shadows remaining in the air for a moment longer. The crimson of his eyes was completely hollow for a moment...<br/>It took him but a few seconds to come back to himself, having no clue and no memory of what just happened, and he attacked again, leaping up to crash against the back of the massive shade that<span style="font-style: italic">dared</span>shatter his comrade's weapon.
