mpbt17 michi clash

The storm clouds that formed Lorelei's throne expanded around her to protect the specter. A wave of light and sound coursed through this storm cloud and shot towards Michi.

"Do you resent the truth this much?" Michi's thoughts were aimed towards the specter behind the dark cloud, "Has the Taint tarnished your dreams with this delusion?"

Michi took a deep breath as she watched the wave of lightning come to crash into her. She exhaled then whirled her naginata around gracefully, the heavy pole-arm flying weightlessly at Michi's will. Lines of blue energy were traced around her and clashed with the sea of sparks from the storm cloud. The rest of the towers and the hail of trunks and pole that had taken to the sky were ground into sand.

From Michi's line of energy, blue light filled the entire plane. The storm cloud and the sea of lightning were cast away by Michi's light and the bright turquoise blue fell upon Mitakihara City. All of the towers that remained on the earth were stripped of their metal and glass frames as the light tore through them. The husks of the buildings looked like hourglasses, shattering in the midst of the blue light and releasing pure white sand. This sand then coalesced in the blue light, turning into the petals of cherry blossoms.

The light faded away and the cherry blossoms swirled around the Japanese girl. Lorelei was awestruck as she watched Michi wielding such immense power that rivaled hers. This girl standing before her had taken the lifeless white sand and turned it into something wonderful. Where does this girl draw such strength and power?

Michi swung her naginata and the cherry blossom petals gracefully traced the path of her blade, weaving a circle of blossoms around her. With a valiant cry, Michi swung her naginata forward and the petals shot out in one magnificent mass – an endless multitude of daggers. These daggers struck Lorelei and knocked her out of her throne.
