Disturbing Chaos

With the situation growing worse, it's clear. Ready or not, Juno must decide who she will choose to stop The Atom Eater, and become the strongest. Unable to decide and out of time, Juno has no choice but her last resort. She requests the apprentices fight - winner merges with their master. Vane, Mordred, and their now allied factions gather to watch as Elias and Iris, who grew up together, split, reconnected again, and always knowing exactly how the other thinks - finally go head to head. It is extraordinary. Every technique met with a perfect counter, every opening closed before it fully exists. Elias's Singular Bastion seals the plaza and Iris counts her breath inside it, patient, waiting. The Grand Intersection fires and for a moment it looks decisive. Then the air pressure drops. A clone appears in the centre of the plaza - bigger than the Tokyo ones, 2 days worth of absorbed techniques and intent to kill. It ignores both fighters entirely, and walks straight toward Juno.
