“Oh did I miss..?” She swung her sword onto her shoulder. “Oh well. Next time I’ll have you.” Nyx smile, not a crazy one but true smile. She was 4’11 and looked around the age 11 or 12, her hair was long but in pigtails the ribbons were light blue. Brown hair she had with her bang in her hazel brown eyes, her battle wear was just a schoolgirl uniform fetish (light blue shirt, with blue skirt.) However instead of the cute high knee socks, there wear metallic shin guards, she also had metallic arm guards as well. Swipe thinking, amazed. She’s fast! That was as fast as Maken’s Godspeed. No . . . unless I’m going crazy, that was faster than... (shaking his head violently) No way! Nobody on earth could be faster than Maken. (aloud) “Hey, what was that she just did?” “I don’t know…” Yumi looking stunned herself. “What, you were yapping about how good she is?” “That’s what Lord Orez says! This is the first time I ever seen the girl fight.” She yelled at him. “So what are you- - “…Shukuchi…” “Huh?” Swipe and Yumi blinked a few times. “That which surpasses Godspeed. The extreme Godspeed Shukuchi. Shukuchi--a rare body technique by which one springs from initial speed to top speed through great strength of the legs, penetrating the range of your opponent in an instant. It is spoken of widely among the schools. To the layman, it looks as though the distance between the two fighters had suddenly shrunk, hence the name.” Maken explained. “Oh, you know it? You really are a swordsman to the bone. I didn’t know what it was called either until Mr. Orez told me.” She smiled beautifully yet again.

Mr. Trent pouring wine. “Shukuchi? She has three strengths? So her natural gift, suppressed emotions, and this.” “Yes, they say Mouri no Sanbonya could do it, but all three of them together could never touch Nyx.” Lord Orez said. “So Shukuchi is speed that the eye can’t follow--that’s what he can do.” “No. That’s MakenZero’s Godspeed, at its best. Nyx ultimate Godspeed Shukuchi is speed the eye can’t even see.”

She smiled again. “But, Mr. Zero. That wasn’t the real Shukuchi just now. To be precise, that was three steps before the Shukuchi. That’s why you could see and avoid it. In Shingetsu, I compared you with Senkaku and guessed it would be enough to bring you down, but, I’m sorry, I seem to have misjudged you. This time, let’s try two steps before the Shukuchi. She leaps forward, visible only as a series of rips in the floor under her feet. Maken dodges to the side but Nyx follows him, and Maken barely avoids her blow. “Don’t stop! That’s what she’s waiting for!” Swipe yelled. Nyx whips back around. Maken leaps into the air--suddenly she appears in the air behind him. He brought around his sword to block, and they return to earth unhurt. Maken thinking, “Its not just her feet, even the way she carries herself is fast. On top of that, because her emotions are held back I can’t read her movements, and it makes her seem even faster. But on the other hand, if I could cut through head on instead... I mastered this with the succession technique the strongest and the fastest of the charging techniques.” Maken performed Kuzuryuusen (Nine Headed Dragon Flash) = Attack learned before the most powerful succession technique. Strikes with the sword nine times at the same time on the 9 vital points, head, right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, between the legs, the chest, right shoulder, and left shoulder, making this move virtually impossible to block.

Nyx is utterly taken aback. Maken slides to a halt, looking over his shoulder. “He got her!” Swipe cheered. She reappeared just behind him. “No, the KILLING begins here.” She moved incredible dealing three great slashing blows across his back, appearing in front of him slashing at his face, to end with a stab into his right eye. Maken, bleeding profusely, some how manages to keep on his feet. He thought to himself, “She dodged--it should be impossible to block or evade the Kuzuryuusen. This Nyx really is faster than me--no, faster than even my master!” Nyx looking a bit shaken. “That’s odd. I thought I had you that time…”
