Nene Saikyo vs Naseem Al-Salem

Nene Saikyo vs Naseem Al-Salem is a fight between the 3rd ranked KOK A-League participant Nene Saikyo and Naseem Al-Salem, an ally of All-Goal and the strongest mercenary in history. It takes place during the Battle of Kardia.

Prologue
Prior to the fight, the Vermillion forces confronted the Cradleland army controlled by All-Goal, and tried to free the soldiers from All-Goal's control. Despite initially succeeding, after All-Goal's allies entered the battle, the Vermillion forces started to lose. Stella, who is fighting with the Vermillion forces, got into a fight with Naseem Al-Salem, All-Goal's strongest ally. Naseem easily contended with Stella, not even needing to use his right hand. Finally, when Naseem almost defeated Stella, the backup forces of the League of Mage-Knight Nations arrive, to stop All-Goal and his forces. Nene was among these backups, and stopped Naseem's attack with her Hadou Tensei.

Battle
Naseem destroys the meteor launched at him by Hadou Tensei, by punching it with his fist. Nene moves between him and Stella, saying that she didn't actually expect Naseem to be defeated even by an attack as strong as Hadou Tensei, complementing his skill and appearance. Naseem though is uninterested in Nene's flirting, claiming that Nene to be a very uncontrollable person, as the attack she launched could have killed everybody in the battlefield. Nene though isn't bothered by Naseem's insults, saying that they should try making their time worthwhile, instead of just talking. Naseem agrees, but as they get closer, he grabs the collar of Nene's kimono, peeling it of and revealing her chest. Looking at her bare chest, Naseem reclaims that he's not interested in embracing a kid. Stella is greatly shocked by Naseem's actions, but Nene remains calm, telling Naseem to not say such cold things.

Naseem then realizes that his arm is immobilized, as he can't pull it away. Nene then sensually caresses Naseem's arm, before kicking him through a building. Nene explains that she used her ability to manipulate gravity to freeze Naseem's body in place, making him unable to even transform his body into sand. Nene though says that despite her strong attack, Naseem sin't defeated.

Suddenly a the buildings in the area start to crumble, as Naseem rises up, only slightly injured. Nene tells Stella that Naseem's true ability is to drain moisture from things, with his sand manipulation ability being only a byproduct of that ability. Naseem can even use his ability to absorb the moisture from the earth's crust, resulting in the ground collapsing. Naseem then Naseem is pleased by Nene's power, as he then charges at Nene. Nene then manifests her Device ready to fight Naseem. Before their fight can truly begin, they are interrupted by Lunaeyes, who demands that everyone stop fighting.

Epilogue
Lunaeyes announces that there will be a tournament held between Vermillion and Cradleland to decide the fates of the two countries. All-Goal has also agreed to this tournament. Naseem is initially infuriated by All-Goal, for interrupting his fight, but All-Goal explains that the League of Mage-Knight Nations members that are currently in the country, are allowed to participate, so Naseem will be free to fight Nene in the upcoming tournament.
