Saku remained pushed by Ixela's attack, which threatened to topple him, but as his body looked about to give out...two hands gripped his shoulders, a gentle voice behind him "Saku...you can do it" said the voice behind him, soft and soothing "I know you can...your body is tired but you've gone further than this before"
"But...But I..." he said speaking "I don't know...if I...truly can" he felt a very uncomforting pull to his body, as if dragging him backwards, but the two hands kept him gently in place
"Saku...what is it you want to do? What is you fight for?"
"What is I...fight for?" he asked himself, thinking for a moment "To...repay the belief my hands have in me, and to continue for those...who can't fight anymore"
"Then...that's all you need Saku" the tug to his body oddly grew much stronger, towards painful but the two hands that held him, went to a comforting hug, a gentle warmth enveloping his body "Carry the faith of those you care for, and mine...the one you saved"
"Sarala..." the tug...began to leave his body, but it persisted as if a hand being pulled away, the grip tighter...until it let go and vanished, a flinch coming to Sukura, as Saku boosted by Sarala's words stood his ground Sarala kept holding Saku, not to push but simply to hug, as he got up to see Ixela's beam nearly engulfing "Not...Not yet" he said to himself "I can't...and won't turn away...the belief put into me!" his aura slowly appeared back, pouring through his hands "This move...might rip me apart but I have to try"
"Just give up Saku, this isn't meant to be" called Ixela
"Sorry but...I refuse to give up. Lunar...eclysal...burst...LEVEL 8!!!!!!" his beam suddenly roared into life, Saku cringing severely as he went back a few feet before stopping, expanding to 18ft tall and pushing back Ixela's.
Ixela's special attack was now the one being encroached on and engulfing hers "What the? How did he..." immediately the pressure was on her, her own body pushing back "it's...its too...too strong, I can't...ahhhh" Saku's beam inched closer and closer
"Ixela bail now!" called Solum immediately "Do it!" Ixela took a breath and immediately stopped, Saku's special coming in like a bullet train, and dived out of the way, the beam narrowly missing it. Saku's attack continued, striking the wall and ploughing clean through it into the distance, exploding with fierce effect, delivering gales to everyone and even blowing a couple over. As the clash ended, and normality resumed, Ixela was unharmed but severely fatigued as she struggled and looked unbalanced as she stood while Saku was still in pose before he collapsed to his knees, gasping and panting for air
"How...and where did that...come from?" Ixela just exclaimed "I'm glad that beam didn't hit me...but still"
"Ahhh...ahhh...ahhh"
"Saku, this fight isn't over yet" called Ixela's whose armour faded from her body, leaving behind only one electric aura gauntlet "A winner has yet to be decided" Saku struggled to his feet, limp in place, his aura reduced back to its base state "But looking at things...your power appears to be all out, I kept a tiny reserve left for when the clash ended...and it seems it will be your end" Saku though put one hand out, palm turned up "Oh give it rest...you still can't have any strength left!"
"I...I have...a little left and...it's going into this...final shot" small clustering lights of white began to draw above Saku's, forming and condensing into an orb of glossy white "this is...all I left" Saku formed a ball about double that of a tennis ball, which seemed smooth but a bit uneven
