One More Time: Rebirth 80 Tanith and Tsukiyomi battle

The days just grew even more hectic with the addition of Tanith. She was like Tsukiyomi a powerful being who eats a lot, which meant most of the allowance Edge has was used on their eating expenses. If that wasn't enough the two like to compete with each other. An example of this was when they eat. Now every time we enter a restaurant the chefs would call for backup and the restaurant would close just for Edge's group. 

"Kukuku, you lizard you know you can never beat me in anything especially eating." 

"Hahaha, that's a funny joke, an Ethereal that eats. Are you sure you're an Ethereal? Aren't you just a pig wearing clothes?" 

"Kukuku, now that's a funny joke from the cow that knows how to speak."

"Oh, aren't you just jealous cause master keeps on looking at mine while your is just a mound compared to my mountains." Tanith patted her bountiful chest which started to bounce around. Watching her become so arrogant made Tsukiyomi irritated.

"Hmph, won't those became deflated defects because of your old age." 

"Old? I'm only two hundred years old that's pretty young for my race. In fact, I'm at the prime of my life." 

"Well, in my point of view you're an old woman, who's pretty much a hundred years older than me." 

"Edge let's leave these two old ladies alone." Eri joined in the conversation, which prompted the two to look at her and me. 'Why did you bother to join me in this mess?'

"How about let's all get along and eat." I tried defusing the situation. 

"As you wish my master." Tanith bowed her head. 

"Of course we're going to eat." Tsukiyomi answered as she grabbed her utensils. It was at that moment Tanith started chowing down on the food while grabbing each one with her hands. Watching Tanith eat like that while also eating her share of the food, Tsukiyomi discarded her grace and pride as she started eating as fast as she could without using the proper utensils. 

The two began eating plate after plate, while Eri and Edge sat on a different table eating leisurely. 

After a few minutes, a waitress timidly approached the two eating monsters. She didn't want to do this but she lost at the coin toss, so she was the one who needed to talk to the two. 

"Umm, excuse me, dear customers." The two who were waiting for their next plate looked at the waitress. Upon being stared at by the two nearly eternal beings the waitress was shaking and almost wanted to cry. 

"Look at what you did here you old lizard. You scared our waitress." 

"Hoh... Isn't she afraid that your flat chestedness would infect her?" The two then glared at each other. Seeing the scene I couldn't help but sigh as I approached the poor waitress. 

"Sorry about these two. So what is it that you wanted to say?" When the waitress saw me, I could feel her relief. 

"We no longer have ingredients to make any food. I'm sorry but we can no longer serve you." 

...

After leaving the restaurant the two, hundred-year-old beings looked at one another. They didn't speak a word for a few minutes. 

"I challenge you to a duel."

"Kukuku, I accept." 

Hearing what the two said Tanith in her human form sprouted wings and Tsukiyomi used [air walk.] The two decided to battle in the sky since it was obvious that if they fought on the ground they might damage school property. It was a good thing that the barrier protecting the school also encompassed the sky. That means they can fight at their full power without me worrying about them getting hurt. 

The two then flew out into the air. 

...

Tanith's POV:

I was now faced to face with an Ethereal the mighty weapons of the Gods. This Ethereal was rather young for her race, but I knew not to underestimate such a being. 

"Kukuku, aren't you going to use your true form to fight lizard?" Tsukiyomi asked me as she summoned a weapon in her hand. 

"To face someone like you my human form will do." I smiled at Tsukiyomi which obviously irritated her. Though my true form has more power it loses in maneuverability, and it was easy to hit me in that huge form. Facing the nimble Tsukiyomi this form was the right choice. I then summoned my own weapon a halberd made of dragon's flames. 

"Is that so... You'll regret underestimating me." Tsukiyomi then dashed towards me. I flapped my wings and darted towards her as well. We clashed head-on, and as expected I had the advantage in pure power. As I was about to push her away I saw a giant spear of ice appeared above her head. 

I exhaled, gathered mana into my belly, and then expelled the mana into a dragon's breath vaporizing the giant ice sphere. The spear of ice then turned into a mist blocking my view. Tsukiyomi disappeared from my sight. I used my eye of a dragon but was still unable to locate her.

...

Tsukiyomi's POV: 

'As expected from an ancient dragon her power is on a whole other level. I'm already absorbing as much of Edge's mana as I can, yet it seems like I could barely match her in pure strength.' As Tsukiyomi was thinking of what to do while hiding in the mist, Tanith suddenly roared. The mist that hid my body dispersed. 

"Found you." Tanith threw her flaming halberd at a speed that went beyond the speed of sound. Tsukiyomi was only able to divert the speeding halberd by a bit while evading. Her weapon broke and she created a new one, but before she could do anything Tanith appeared before her and grabbed her head. 

"It's my win," Tanith spoke assured of her victory, but to her surprise Tsukiyomi grabbed hold of the hand that held her head. A piercing cold started to envelop Tanith's right arm. Tanith immediately let go of Tsukiyomi's head and kicked her in the belly as she backed away.

"You asked for this," Tsukiyomi flew upward and the image of a full moon appeared behind her. "I will now show you the true power of the Eternal Moon." 

"Fine, I'll go all out as well." Tanith turned into her dragon form and gathered mana into her mouth. She was about to use the ancient dragon's true dragon breath. 

...

Edge's POV:

The two had flown higher into the sky and I could no longer watch the fight. I needed to get up there to see what happens next. I was about to follow them up to watch the fight, but then Eri held onto my sleeve. "I can't fly, bring me with you." 

I picked up Eri into a princess carry and used [air walk] and went up. As I reached a certain altitude I saw that both Tsukiyomi and Tanith were about to release their strongest moves, but before they unleashed it they looked at me. The moment the eyes of the two stared at me they frowned. 

"Kukuku, so it wasn't the lizard I should be wary of."

"How cunning of you, as expected of a fox." When Eri heard the two she held onto me tighter. The two then squinted their eyes as I felt bloodlust coming from them. 

"Let's say that this battle was a draw."

"I agree." After the two came to an agreement they approached me.

"Hey Edge, I'm feeling tired after the battle, why don't you carry me, the lizard can carry Eri down," Tsukiyomi asked as she tried pulling Eri away from me.

"That's not true master, as long as you have mana this Ethereal can never grow tired. I, on the other hand, used too much mana while playing with her. The Ethereal can carry Eri-senpai and master can carry me down."

"No, Edge needs to be the one to carry me down. I don't want two old women carrying me." Eri replied with her usual stoic expression.

The three of them started arguing while in mid-air, unaware that most of the student body was starting to panic due to their shenanigans. 

'How come these three girls keep on arguing every chance they get.' Edge sighed, but he also couldn't help but smile. These days might be hectic but they were also quite fun. 

'I hope we can continue our days like this.' Edge made a wish unaware of what's to come.
