Chereads / The Adventures Of Maverick / Chapter 14 - The Battle Begins

Chapter 14 - The Battle Begins

Bang!

Max flew out of the body of Nexus flying through five buildings before stopping in a pile of rubble.

"Is that all you got?!" Sun yelled ascending out of the hole Max had made.

Max scuffed and flew at his brother, Sun smirked seeing his brother coming at him head on. He moved to the side and raised his knee up hitting his brother in the head after dodging his attack, he then grabbed him by the cape then threw him to the ground.

"Holy smokes who is that guy?" Ramon questioned not remembering anyone with those abilities.

"Max is getting wrecked, hope he can survive this" Jessica hoped.

Maverick was then used to demolish the ground as Sun pushed him through the ground and through more buildings raising a line of dust.

"Argh...." Max ground with the punishment his body was taking.

Sun used him to flatten ten blocks within seconds and tore up the ground before he was carried up by the collar as they were now in a skyscraper. Sun punched his brother through multiple floors all the way out the top of the building before using both arms to slam his brother back down into the building causing the entire thing to collapse and destroy other surrounding buildings.Dust was raised as buildings came crashing down and the whole city was cast into chaos with fires and destruction everywhere you turned. Sun landed on the rubble of the destroyed buildings knowing fully well it was going to take more than that to kill his brother.

Max's hand reached out of a pile of rubble as he pulled his body out of the large pieces of concrete on top of his body. He got up coughing and panting with dust on his suit.

"Is that the best you've got? Cuz I can take a whole lot more" Max said with a cheeky look on his face.

"Don't worry brother, I'm just getting started" Sun said arrogantly.

Sun launched himself at Max throwing a punch to his chest and to his surprise, Max caught his hand.

"Seems you're picking up fast, let's see how long you can keep up with me" Sun said.

Max punched him in the face still holding up to his caught fist then pulled him back for an uppercut as he released his hand. He followed his ascending body and delivered three more punches to his gut then flew above him raising his two fists then hit his brother back down to Earth. Sun's body skipped on the ground like a rock and Max flew into him using his body to ram through cars, buildings, trucks and just about anything whilst delivering punches. The city cascaded deeper into chaos with this new fight between brothers, cries for help rummaged the streets as Max flew over head punching his brother. Max took another swing and Sun caught his punch as they flew through a mall, he pulled his brother slamming him through a wall but he wasn't done there, he pulled him back and slammed him into the floor multiple times then through him through the building roof. Max ascended before getting tugged by his cape and flown through the mall again down to the bottom floor.

Max was kicked out into the car park slamming into the side of a Dodge pickup truck denting the side. He stood up quickly seeing Sun coming down at him holding a Corolla, he moved to the side as the car smashed into the ground exploding. Sun rocketed out of the explosion carrying Maverick through more cars and through more buildings punching him repeatedly in the face. Max moved his head to the side completely avoiding Sun's fist then grabbed him by the hair and pulled his face down running through things as a moved his body out of the receiving end and put his brother on the receiving end now then kicked him with both feet launching him through two buildings and onto the street hitting three cars in the process. Sun stood up from inside the car kicking down the door and tearing the roof apart he looked around for Maverick then was wacked like a baseball in the back with a steel beam that shattered on impact. he flew up through seven buildings now with their fight redesigning San Francisco Bay.

He flew out of the last building then was wacked again this time with a fuel truck as an ear rocking explosion appeared in the sky producing a shockwave in the sky. The citizens looked up seeing the explosion unsure of what to do now with their city in ruins, was anywhere safe with this two fighting? The explosion launched the pair to the ground with Max the first to rise to his feet as Sun was still on his back, that tanker really did a number on him.

"I can't let this go on. Those two would tear this city apart" Ravage said angrily racing to them on a red Ducati.

"Adapting to situations quickly was always one of your strong points eh brother" Sun said rolling on his back.

"What are you talking about?"

"You mean you can't remember any of our sparring matches?" Sun said rising slowly to his feet.

"What matches? We've been separated all this time" Max answered confused.

"Damn, they really did something to that mind of yours" Sun said taking off his jacket.

It was of no use to him now with tears and holes in them from all the damage taken through the fight.

"Once I put you down and take you back to Cipher Tech, you'll remember everything" Sun stated.

"Cipher Tech?"

"All will be made clear brother" Sun said before he launched himself at Max.

The two spiraled across the city crashing through anything in their path as they traded blows and kicks, they even flew over Ravage. He slammed on the breaks and made a left turn going into an alley tracking them. Sun flew Max through an apartment block and into the road hitting all the cars parked in the street. Max mustered strength and delivered an uppercut to Sun lifting him into the air, Maverick flew up quickly catching him by the leg and spun then released him into another building nearby. He flew through the block and landed on the street rolling up to his feet before Maverick swooped down and speared him through a couple more buildings.

Sun had enough and did elbowed him on the back weakening him as he now flung his brother into a moving bus. The people inside screamed seeing Maverick fly through the side of the bus causing the bus to go on two wheels as the driver tried to regain control of his vehichle.

"Everyone stay calm!" the driver yelled as people began to scream.

Max tapped down on the floor and the bus returned to standing on four wheels after almost toppling over. Max rose his head seeing the despair and fright on their faces after almost losing their lives.

"Is everyone okay?" he asked with concern.

Some nodded. Before he could utter words to assure them that everything would be fine, Sun smashed Maverick through the other side of the bus and into their surroundings. They twisted and turned exchanging blows as they flew through things. Ravage closed in as fast as the Ducati could carry him to assist Maverick in anyway possible.

Sun grabbed his brother spinning within a building before throwing him out the top, he grabbed him by the face then threw him into a gas station pump causing it to explode. The explosion rocked the area rattling buildings and destroying windows as Maverick flew out of the smoke of the explosion knocked out, his body had taken enough. He crashed into the ground out cold as Sun arrived moments later with a grin on his face.

"This is Sun to Clinton" he said putting a finger on the communicator in his ear. "I've secured the package"

"That's good work Sun, despite the mess you two made, you have succeeded" Clinton acknowledged him.

"On my way back to base now" Sun answered.

As he walked towards his brothers unconscious body, a bike heard racing towards him and it was Ravage coming as fast as he could seeing Max knocked out.

"What do we have hear" Sun said seeing him appear.

"He's gonna hate this" Ravage commented.

He hit the front brakes hard causing the back of the bike to rise just as planned as he used the momentum of the bike to throw it into Sun. The bike exploded sending him some meters away. Sun was greatly annoyed by this and flew into the cloud of smoke produced by the bike explosion but found that his brother and Ravage were gone.

"No, no, no, no, no!!!" he ravaged full of anger that he let his brother slip through his fingers.

................

Max's eyes opened slowly seeing a ceiling above him, he immediately thought he had been captured by his brother and sat up quickly ready to fight. When he sat up, he saw that he was in an apartment building with Ravage sitting down in front of him still in costume.

"Easy tiger" Ravage said stopping him from attacking.

"Where am I?" Max asked.

"You're in my apartment" he answered.

"How did I get here?"

"Well whoever you were fighting knocked you out pretty hard so I came in last minute and saved your ass" he said.

"Shit" Max lamented sitting back on the couch angered that he lost to his brother.

"Whoever that g I y was, he was hot cake. He and the monster are both pretty hard core fighters, you guys tore up the whole city. Millions, maybe billions of dollars in damage" Ravage said standing up to go make a cup of coffee.

"Well, that dud I fought was my brother" Max said with a sigh.

"Wait, that was your brother?"

"Yes" Max said sitting up.

"That guy is hardcore, his fighting ability is off the charys. The guy is a fighter" Ravage said astonished.

"I know, I just couldn't beat him without knowing our weakness" Max said.

"Don't worry kid, coffee?" Ravage offered.

"No thank you"

"How could you let him escape!" Clinton yelled throwing a lamp at a wall.

"Well he had unexpected help and the guy is pretty good and getting away" Sun answered lying on a sofa.

"You have no excuse, you let him get away" Clinton barked.

"And you're not the one who went out there and fought hum" Sun answered with a serious tone floating to his feet.

"Are you talking back at me?" Clinton said surprised with his tone.

"Yeah, it's how a conversation works" Sun answered in a disrespectful tone.

"I will excuse your insolence this time but the next you fail me again there will be consequences" Clinton warned him.

"Shut up old man, I said I will get him and I will get him and the next time you threaten me be prepared to go in and body bag" Sun lashed out at him angry.

Yes he was subject to him but he wouldn't let anyone even his boss talk to him in any manner.

Clinton stood still shocked at his outburst. Sun punched the Dorr open and flew out to his quarters to rest from the day's battle.

..............

"You mean to tell me the guy you fought is your brother?!" Ramon exclaimed looking like a ruffian with his hair all scattered.

They were in Jessica's basement.

"This is so unexpected" Jessica said shocked as well.

"This is one hell of a back story" Ramon added.

"But how you never said you had a brother" Jessica stated.

"I know, the news is still fresh to me today as well" Max answered.

"We need answers and quickly if you want to stand and chance in beating him" Jessica said.

"Well the guys online are calling him Titan with the way he took down that monster slicing off its head" Ramon said.

"That's not helping Ramon" Jessica said crossed.

"You need to find a way to beat him quickly if you want to avoid the type of mess you created in the city today" Jessica added.

"I know, I saw the pictures and carnage first hand" Max answered solemnly.

"So where do you want to start looking?" Ramon asked.

"Well first I would want to ask my parents then maybe look into Cipher Tech cuz my brother said something about taking me back there to restore my memories" Max explained.

"And of course a tech giant had to be involved in this. This day just keeps on getting better and better" Ramon said with a sarcastic tone.

"There must be a lot about your past we don't know. I'm sensing some serious conspiracy and cover up coming up" Jessica said.

"Well all the best for about killer back story after all" Ramon said.
