Location- Sky Blossom City, The Sky Blossom Card Stadium, Arena 17
Having completed the task of throwing dirty water on Brown Pharmaceuticals now all Jaya wanted to do was to relieve the frustration she had been suppressing from earlier by making the man-crocodile mongrel swimming around her, her punching bag.
“Boom!” Without holding back Jaya flew out of the swirling black water dome at full speed. The 3 times gravity of black water was a joke for someone with a Viltronian physique.
Flying out of the black water dome Jaya floated 10 meters above it. The black water dome had deformed and looked more like a water typhoon, An hurricane. Anna tried to find transformed Ned in the hurricane but the water was pitch black and the skin, scales of the black water crocodile were designed to help it camouflage and decrease its presence in the water. Therefore it was harder for Jaya to pinpoint Ned’s location who was swimming along with the currents of the hurricane at an accelerating speed. Therefore Jaya decided to go back into the eye of the black water hurricane, one of the calmest and safest parts of the hurricane, to track Ned from there.
The popular belief is that the eye of a hurricane is the safest and calmest place in the hurricane. And it a true the eye of the hurricane is indeed the calmest and safest part of the hurricane but the eyewall surrounding the hurricane eye is not a safe place to be, rather it is the scariest, nastiest, gnarliest part of the hurricane. They form an unbroken line of extremely powerful downpours. The pressure and speed of the water and wind currents here are at alarming levels, enough to cut and grind a human.
No, Jaya was not dumb this was the result of her homeschooling which made her think that the eye of a Hurricane would allow her to track Ned with less hindrance from the black water. Instead, the wall of the eye of the hurricane was much darker and turbulent than the surface of the hurricane. This Hurricane was no ordinary hurricane it was a hurricane made up of black water which had 3 times gravity leading to insane and devastating levels of pressure causing a huge downpour forming an extremely strong eyewall for the hurricane. It was stupid of Jaya to think that she could spot Ned from within the eye of the black water hurricane.
Thankfully her opponent was also someone with very little actual combat experience, who fought against Jaya as if she was the same as the brainless dungeon monster and would wait patiently for him to complete his final move. Ned was completely focused on swirling the black water dome into a black water hurricane that he never noticed Jaya flew out of the black water dome and enter the black water hurricane eye. Once the black water dome was turned into a black water hurricane he had to bring it to a speed where it would self sustain its spin without having him swim at high speed continuously to maintain the speed of the Hurricane.
Once Hurricane was able to sustain itself Ned stopped swimming at high speed and decided to head to the eye of the black water Hurricane and attack struggling and suffocating Jaya from there. But to his surprise, Jaya who should be on the right side of the black water hurricane somehow managed to walk into the eye of the hurricane totally unscathed.
‘Impossible’ yelled Ned in his mind, if not for the senses of the Blackwater Crocodile that he gained after were-transformation even he would not be able to see a thing in the Blackwater. So, how was Jaya able to move from the most dangerous part of the hurricane to the safest and calmest part of the hurricane unscathed? Unfortunately, he could not ask Jaya because he would be revealing his location to her and he would probably drown from not being able to hold his breath while talking even with his enhanced lungs of a black water crocodile.
Right now the fight between Jaya and Ned has reached a stalemate as Ned could no longer use the projectiles he planned on using to attack Jaya with as the Eyewall of the eye of the Hurricane would protect her, that is the reason why he planned to attack Jaya form the eye of the hurricane. All he had to do was to introduce the projectiles in the right currents of the hurricane and the water current would carry the projectile at high speed to Jaya. Making it impossible for Jaya to track where the projectile came from and the eyewall of the hurricane’s eye would form a protective wall for him. Ned had the perfect battle plan ready to fight against Jaya who was rumoured to have insanely high reinforced physical abilities, avoiding the risk of close combat completely. Yes, Jaya’s dumb decisions somehow saved her from falling prey to Ned’s trap.
As for Jaya, she was helpless as she was unable to find Ned. With Jaya’s Viltronian abilities there were various ways she could have defeated Ned long ago but she was not well versed with using these abilities and lacked experience fighting a human and a complete stranger, unlike her trainer. Both Ned and Jaya lack a sense of judgement when it comes to a card fight. If it were a battle these two would have been already killed by a weaker veteran card apprentice. Despite all their arrogance of being a talent and a genius in reality they both were fresh meat/amateurs in the eyes of a Veteran.
When the time limit of the card fight was nearing its end Jaya had an ingenious idea to destroy the arena with her brute force. She thought that if the stage which was the base and foundation for the black water hurricane was destroyed the black water hurricane would collapse but the fool did not stop to think if the card Soldier realm strength was enough to break the arena and started punching the floor underneath her with all her might. After 30 seconds she stopped only to see the arena floor was spotless. She wasn’t able to leave a single scratch on the floor. Ned almost drowned by laughing out loud seeing Jaya’s stupid actions and thought, ‘is she planning to kill me by making me laugh.’
