Oh, it had only been a wish and a hope, but it seemed Asuka had every intention of fulfilling this hope and wish. Meiko charged and Asuka responded with a powerful outburst. Meiko could feel the release of energy, the air around them heating up. It was exhilarating. [break][break]
However she had little time to be glad at their success, as another blow would be intercepted by the suddenly much faster Asuka and her strike. A powerful strike right to her sternum would launch her backward, the fatigue of the first gate slowing down her movements and parries. She crashed against the rock causing it to crack and in a spiderweb fracture around her. Even if Asuka was overjoyed, her body wouldn't heal the potential damage the punch had done to her hand, after all Meiko was more like a solid wall of steel than your average sack of bones shinobi... It didn't change the fact that spots danced for Meiko's vision and nausea came rolling in. She at hold out a little longer. If she never challenged herself then she would forever remain at this level and forever be stuck with only a short moment in each gate. Dying to your own technique was foolish... [break][break]
A ragged breath was drawn in and she rolled over to get to her feet. With a grunt she flushed her body with chakra to move around the calcium deposits and push her body to become denser and heavier. It would still have her be slower than Asuka as the playing field had leveled between them and the same power gap was now evident. She didn't want to resort to opening another gate to keep going, but it was all drawn up to be the only path forward for her. [break][break]
"Good! Now learn to fight with it!"[break][break]
Meiko rushed at her, holding on to the last slivers of the first gate and its energy and strength. Perhaps Asuka could tell... Either way Meiko gritted her teeth and pushed through. Just a little longer, just for Asuka to test out her new toy.
