BOOM!! BAAM!! KA-BOOM!! Random cars are being flung into the sky and raining down crashing into the road followed by explosions everywhere.
Rose Knight was breathing heavily as she is a few meters away from the humanoid snake but could not try to get close because the beast threw its scales on the ground that explodes!
'Man, this is getting a bit out of hand,' she thought to herself,
However, she quickly shook her head and jumped on one broken car after another, jumped, and started running across the building next to her and was so close to making her move but the humanoid snake took notice and whipped its tail unleashing a barrage of purple scales.
Rose Knight drew her sword and swiftly hit them all redirecting the scales to the ground but caused a chain of an explosion that nearly destroyed the area. KA-BOOOOOMM!!!
As the smoke cleared, the humanoid snake appeared above Rose Knight, grabbed her by the leg and slammed her to the ground. SMASH!! BAAM!!
But the beast wasn't done. It then wrapped its tail around her body and squeezed her to the point she screamed. And then threw her up into the air, grabbed her by the leg and slammed her to the sidewalk.
Rose Knight was groaning in pain. She looked around her and saw her sword on the ground near her but as she was about to grab it, the humanoid snake slammed its tail on her arm! THUD!!
She screamed in pain but what's more, is that the humanoid snake grabbed her by the same arm and held her in front of it. Rose Knight tried to break free but was exhausted and physically injured.
"Aww, tired so sss-soon?" the humanoid snake taunted, "I was-sss just getting sss-started."
Rose Knight tried to move her muscles but couldn't do it nor could she utter a word. She just lifted her head and spit at the beast.
The humanoid snake wasn't amused, "Sss-still acting tough, are you?" it said, "You might as well stay away from me and mind your own business if you know what's good for you."
The beast then slammed her down to the ground and threw her to a nearby building so hard, she crashed through several walls and the ceiling above crashed down burying her into a pile of rubble. CRASH!! BAAM!!
The humanoid snake sniffed the air around and when it found the scent it was looking for, it slithered away, through the cracked road in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Rose Knight was still under the pile of rubble unconscious and unable to move. When she opened her eyes, she tried to push the rubble away but it was too heavy for her. She then remembered something or rather a memory flashed into her mind.
// FLASHBACK //
It was when Emily was a kid and learning how to ride a bicycle without training wheels. In that dream, she kept riding on the bike several times and kept falling off of it. At one point, she fell off her bike landed on the ground, and had a slight cut on her knee. She couldn't get up and had to sit up straight and look at the cut on her knee. It had a cut on it.
Emily exhaled and thought about giving up. That's what she would've said when her dad showed up and knelt down to her. He surveyed the cut on her knee. He then grabbed a bandage from his pocket and wrapped it around the knee.
When he was done, he helped Emily as she slowly got up and she noticed that he went for the bike and dragged it beside her.
"Wanna go again?" he asked,
"No thanks, Dad," Emily replied,
"Why not?"
"I just couldn't do it no matter how hard I try."
"Well then, try harder."
"That's easier for you to say. You make it sound so easy."
The dad scratched the back of his head while thinking about it, "I admit that it took me a couple of tries to get used to riding a bike." he then said,
"Oh yeah?" Emily said,
"But that didn't stop me from trying." her dad said, "And neither should you."
"How do you do it?" Emily asked,
"I learned a thing or two growing up." her dad replied, "When things seem a bit too hard, take a deep breath and keep going."
"Is that all?"
"That's all there is to it, honey."
// End of Flashback //
Back to reality after recalling the memory, Rose Knight took a deep breath, positioned her hands on the heavy stone, and started pushing. All of a sudden, her eyes started glowing red and her ruby brooch glowed in her chest and she started lifting the giant boulder to the point that she was standing on her feet.
She threw the boulder to the side and fell to her knees as she took a couple of breaths due to her exhaustion.
'Note to self: in addition to stretching, lift some weights.' Rose Knight thought to herself as she slowly stood up and started walking out of the building.
Seeing the destruction around her, she could not help but feel bad about not stopping the beast sooner. But as she grabbed her sword, her arm still hurts but she shrugged the pain off and followed the trail.
On the other hand, the humanoid snake was hiding in the backyard of a house and peered through the window. And seeing the guy who broke up with Rebecca, the beast smashed through the window, wrapped its tail around him, and dragged him out of the house.
Terrified, the guy took out his phone and tried to call the cops but the beast flicked the device out of the way.
"What do you want?" the guy asked, trying to act tough, "Why are you attacking me?"
"Oh don't worry, babe. It won't take long." the humanoid snake replied. The beast's face began to change form revealing it to be none other than Rebecca! "How are you, David?"
"Rebecca?" David spoke but is clearly shocked by what he witnessed, "H-how in the world are you-?"
"You don't have to worry about a thing," Rebecca said as she runs her hands on his face. "I know I was in the wrong but I can make it better."
"If you think taking me hostage and trashing the city is part of your plan, then count me out," David said,
Suddenly, in a split second,--SLASH!! Rose Knight swooped in and sliced the tail freeing David from the tight grip. Rebecca screamed in pain as she squirmed backward away from the amputated tail.
David quickly got up and ran away while Rose Knight readied her sword. As Rebecca repeatedly breathed heavily while her tail is regenerating, Rose Knight recognized her face and began to put two and two together.
"Why are you doing this Rebecca?" Rose Knight asked, "I didn't think you'd go this far just so you could try and get back with your ex."
Once her tail was regenerated, Rebecca slowly stood up. "Well, I just did." she said, "I will do everything I can just so I can have him back into my life!"
Hearing this, something flashed into Rose Knight's mind. A memory of some sort. A battle between a guy in blue armor and a man who held a trident.
But she quickly shook her head and snapped back to reality. And all of a sudden, Rebecca charged straight at her and they both crashed through the house and tumbled to the ground outside.
"Rebecca, you have to stop this!" Rose Knight said, "This isn't like you!"
"Well, it is and will forever be that way!" Rebecca hissed,
