Contact was made.

Black Heart was very sure she had stabbed Alex in a vital area to knock him down as she aimed just below his chest knowing a stab there would for sure end it.

(Alex: WERE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!?)
(Noire: OF COURSE NOT!)
(Oh yeah. They're perfect for each other.)
(Neptune: Definitely.)

As the smoke died down, she had expected to see blood dripping from his body. Instead, she saw a black ribcage blocking her sword as it emitted a ghostly aura.

She looked up and what she saw had shocked her to her core.

'W-What the hell is that!? This kid can't be human!' Thought Black Heart in her mind as she noticed an arm swinging at her as she dodged it at the last second.

"What the hell are you!? You can't be human!" She shouted at him, noticing blood dripping from his left eye as he looked at her giving Black Heart a clear view of his new eyes.

"I'm afraid your mistaken. I am a human. Just not an ordinary one." Alex said calmly as Black Heart was still bewildered. Gamindustri had plenty of weird and shocking things but this giant ghostly skeleton surrounding Alex crossed the line for her.

"S-So what!? You really think a giant skeleton is gonna change the outcome!?" "Say whatever you want. Just know that when I'm upset, I love seeing some bloodshed."

That line send chills down Black Heart's spine. She sensed a different vibe and aura from Alex. One that was full of hate and thirsty for blood.

Without any hesitation Black Heart charged at Alex again with a third Fire Fencer, Alex had made his Susanoo go away as he just stood there not moving.

"Hey Ally the heck!? Move already!" Shouted Neptune who was being held by Nepgear so she wouldn't fall over the railing. Of to the side, Vert and Blanc were also confused that Alex was standing still. "That asshole! Is he gonna let Noire win on purpose!?" "Calm down Blanc. He might be planning something."

At the last second, Black Heart's Fire Fencer had made contact. However

She had phased right through him. That was the moment that Black Heart was beside herself. 'P-Phased? H-How did he phase through that!? First he has some giant skeleton to act as his shield and now he can phase through attacks!?' Black Heart immediately turned around and fired a Lace Ribbon at him as Alex turned around and opened his eyes looking directly at the attack.

"Kamui!"

'H-He warped away my Lace Ribbon!?' Black Heart was losing her mind. Just a few moments ago she had the upper hand. She had outmatched him, outmaneuvered him, outpaced him, and was beating him to a bloody pulp with her precision and speed based attacks.

Now, Alex had changed the tide. He had the upper hand since his new eyes helped him play keep away as the distance gave him the advantage.

Alex chuckled at the sight of Black Heart's face. "W-What's so funny!?" "I guess I should enlighten you and tell you what just happened." He said.

"What I just used was Kamui. An ability my right eye gives me. It allows me to use and warp time and space. That phasing you just saw? It was me sending parts of my body to a pocket dimension meaning I wasn't physical. That warp, I simply sent your Lace Ribbon to the aforementioned pocket dimension."

Black Heart wanted to say he was lying. That he was making it all up. But, from the way he calmly explained it, he definitely meant what he said. Now she had no idea what to do. If she had charged, she'd phase through him. And if she launches an attack, it get phased away.

Alex had just turned the momentum on his side. He had the advantage playing the distance game. That was until, Alex closed his right eye as he had a pained expression.

Black Heart took advantage and charged straight at him as Alex, at the last second, brought up the black ribcage as it protected him again however Black Heart managed to slightly crack it as Alex kicked off her to gain distance back.

'I got it! Those eyes are like his power ups! They make him stronger but they drain his strength and stamina the longer he uses them! All I need to do is stall and once those eyes go away, victory is mine!'

Black Heart had figured out a way to save the fight for herself and now she needed to stall for some time. Now she was using the distance to her advantage.

Then, Alex closed his left eye, blood leaking out, and opened them.

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames had engulfed Black Heart as she screamed in pure agony sending chills down the spines of the audience members and the other CPU's.

Black Heart had fell to the ground and was rolling around, trying to put the flames out but they wouldn't go away. Most of her battle suit was burned away as pieces were left. Somehow she didn't have any major as she only had first and second degree burns.

Then, the flames suddenly went away as Black Heart looked up and saw Alex on his knees, holding his left eye in pain as he coughed up blood. Both had reached their limit as they both barely stood up. Thankfully Black Heart had just enough shares to go one more round, as for Alex, he was in desperation mode now.

He had called forth Susanoo once again as the ghostly skeleton covered him again as he limped to Black Heart.

"Just WHO are you!? You ain't a damn human that's for sure! Whatever you are, your not gonna win! You heard me you damn demon!?" Shouted Black Heart.

Alex has stopped for a moment, and then, he clutched his heart, and started to breathe quickly and rapidly as he fell to his knees and laid down on the ground. He was hyperventilating.

"T-The winner of this match is Lady Black Heart!" Shouted IF as she and the other girls came into the arena and checked up on Alex before carrying him away.

For the first time, the audience wasn't cheering. They were full of shock. Not because Black Heart had won, but, since the match had abruptly ended.

Black Heart had stared at where they had taken Alex away. Her face also full of shock. Even thought she had won, she didn't treat this as a victory. Not by a long shot.
