But a winner

   "OVERSHADOW", that is what was heard before the entire hall was thrown into a complete white-out. Everything was affected including the color of Mia's skin and hair. For a brief moment, Mia's expression showed that of one who was remorseful of her actions but it immediately switched back to the paleness it had before and she continued attacking Shiro.

   Her attacks had become sloppy. The intense color altering caused by Shiro's technique had a great effect on her ability to concentrate and differentiate the things in front of her and she found herself running into walls more often.

   "The real Mia would have figured this out by now" Shiro said in disappointment as he effortlessly evaded all her attacks. The battle stretched on and after a while, things started to regain thier normal appearance.

   The ominous figure in the dark made an observation. Even though he could see Shiro through a monitor, he could not feel a shred of his presence at all. The case was different a while ago in the sense that he could feel Shiro's presence all over the place.

   "This is new" he said to himself

   "None of the other sons of Shin were capable of this" he added

   "But the fact remains.."

   "He can't hurt h..."

   What displayed in the monitor baffled the ominous figure. Just when he thought he had a chance of victory, Shiro did the unexpected.

   A punch to the belly, a knee to the face, a vertical spinning kick to the back of the head, and a series of unseen attacks that hit very visible places. There was virtually no expectation that Shiro would even use such moves on Mia but what was more baffling was the fact that despite how anyone looked at it or whatever angle they saw it from, one would be sure that he was not holding back his strength.

   Shiro finally immobilized Mia. She had sustained a few major fractures and dislocations but it was anything that couldn't be fixed. He had tried to knock her unconscious but the mind control was too strong to let her fall. He knew that there was no way he lose the fight but worried that he might lose something more. He realized the chances Mia being mind controlled to kill herself how close the enemy was using it.

   "He is quite an interesting fella" the ominous figure commented with a smile.

   "Who knew he would be this quick to make a decision such a scenario" 

   "I can't say I didn't try my best, I really did" 

   "But some people are just built different"

   "I'll see you again, son of Shin"

   "And I'll be more prepared the next time we meet"

   As Mia's consciousness began to return to her, she felt pain so intense that she couldn't even scream.

   "Why does everything hurt so much?" she thought as she fell asleep.

   "It's cold" Mia said as she began to wake

   "But I don't feel the pain anymore" she said as she opened her eyes to see what was going on around her.

   "Am I okay?" She asked with a confused look on her face.

   "Why am I seeing two of miss Fubuki at the same time?" She wondered out loud

   "We're sisters" Naomi replied with a smile.

   "Now lay back for a little while longer" she said

   "We're almost done with the healing process and soon you'll be back to normal"

   "Ice healing, huh..." Mia muttered

   "So that's why I'm cold"

   "SHIRO!!" She called out loud and Shiro answered with a wave.

   "Just for the record" she say with shortness of breath.

   "This doesn't count" she said with a stern look on her face.

   "Sure thing" Shiro replied with a smile.

   "By the way..."

   "... where are we?" Mia asked, noticing that the little room she was in seemed to be moving.

   "It's an ambulance" Natsumi replied

   "Victor is driving"
