Chapter 122 - Wonder’s view of life

"WHAT DID YOU DO!!??" Udo yelled in a demanding tone. Wonder held out his arms and looked up. "All beings are scared of death. Hell, you all are supposed to come tougher and fight me and my people. However, before I was born…my people made sure to have the fire power needed to get rid of all who would resist us. So, a deal had to be made…with your power families."

Udo bit his lip in anger. "Damn you." Udo flew over to Wonder and threw a punch. Wonder dodged and landed a powerful elbow into Udo's stomach. "You're starting to get slower, Udo. My abilities are starting to come back! You are finished!" Wonder flipped and kicked Udo into the ground, creating a small crater. Wonder dove onto Udo and began punching him repeatedly. "This…is for survival! For freedom! For…Everyone!" Wonder surrounded his fist with his colorful aura and slammed both of them onto Udo's chest.

"I'm trying to save you from what's coming. Udo, I'm sorry…but you're warriors will die inside of that expansion. Once they do…I'll have all my powers and energy revived. The power families know all that I can do for this world and it's inhabitants."

Udo coughed up blood. Wonder stood over Udo and looked down at his bloody hands. "You all have lost. Stop fighting, Udo."

"Stop fighting? Hehe, you are just a child." Udo mummbled. "Tell me…what is it you could do for this world? Huh? We are all already at each other's throats."

Wonder stepped away from Udo and circled him. "With my powers…I can change everyone. Get rid of hunger,diseases, racism, sexism, and poverty. Everyone…will have a equal chance at life."

"I don't believe shit that comes out of that mouth." Udo got up and took another fighting stance. "You want full control. You want to kill…Adisa."

"Well, of course. I don't want him to draw out that monster." Wonder said. "What do you mean? What monster?"

There was a moment of silence. "Something that makes me and you look like children in terms of power. But…I know I will kill Adisa. After I kill his old teacher…he will want revenge."

"You won't have the chance. I will kill you, Wonder."

"You don't seem to understand. Let's use humans for example. They live unequal and unfair lives. Two men sitting in a office can start a war and kill millions. Then…there are you people. The Akies. Always fighting and having wars against each other. Just…like humans."

"You want to kill billions."

"I…want to save the world from Adisa. My home was destroyed by the big one. All because Adisa exist! He is a threat! And he must die! Along with you, Udo!"

Udo twisted his fingers and closed his eyes. "Expansion!"

Wonder felt his mind freeze. He snapped back to reality. Udo was landing powerful punches. (He keeps casting his expansion faster than my eyes can see. Amazing, Udo!)

(His body is still evolving. His mind is about half-way done regenerating and physically, all of his injuries have gone! I have to end this soon before I reach my limit!)

Udo spun around and kicked Wonder in his neck. Womder landed on his hands and did a back-flip away from Udo. "King's Rain!"

A shower of aura last covered the sky. Udo put away his swords and ran while dodging each blast.

Udo spun in the air and shot a powerful beam at Wonder. "That's the spirit!"

Wonder teleported behind him and grabbed Udo's hair. He threw him into a nearby mountain. "I have to say. I haven't had this much fun in a while."

Udo yelled and pushed all of the fallen rubble off of the him. "And I have to say…it'll be a pleasure to kill you!" (All of my contracts have been burnt up. Being that I've used so much aura and power…my contracts are burnt up. I have no more contracts. Aura low. Physically tired…and most of all…my expansion is almost over. Along with my limit-breaker mode. This is a pain in the ass. I probably only have two more expansions left before I'm completely gassed.)

Udo continued to punch Wonder. He noticed Wonder kept standing in the same spot. (He's not even flinching!)

Wonder smiled as Udo continued to hit him. "Useless!" Wonder raised his hand and shot a beam close-range.

Udo managed to lower his damage by blocking it with his arms. He looked up to see Wonder coming at him at full-speed. Udo pointed at the sun. Wonder was his with a bright light. "DAMN IIIIITTTTT!!" Wonder yelled in pain.

Udo flew a few feet away from Wonder and held out his hand. (My body has slowly regenerated. It's a miracle, really.)

Udo closed his eyes and focused his energy. "I'll use all that I have left…and use a full-expansion!"

Udo felt something was wrong. He could cast another expansion and damage Wonder's mind, yes. But something felt…off.

Udo smiled and put down his hand. "Spritual minipulation!"

Udo's aura glared. Wonder could now see Udo floating in front of him. "What's this? Your power is-"

"Yep. I wanted to cast an expansion…but I don't even think it'll be good for me. This is my ability. All of the souls I've captured or have are at my disposal. I can use their energy and moves on you. Shall we get started?"

Wonder took a stance. "Come at-"

Udo, with a burst of speed landed a powerful punch on Wonder's face. (Yet again…Udo still brings a challenge!)

Udo flew into the air and dissapeared out of Wonder's sight. Wonder turned around a threw a punch. Udo laughed while kicking Wonder away.

(This must be an ability. He is moving so fast…it's almost like his body dissolves and becomes air!)

Wonder thought about Udo slowly down. Udo could feel himself getting slower. "Phantom Claws!"

Pink aura surrounded Udo's knuckles. They formed into claws. Wonder flew back and clapped his hands. (Oh, no you don't!)

"Container gum!"

Udo's ability stopped Wonder from completing his attack. (I don't know how many spirits he has. I can't possibly calculate all of their moves…or can I?)

Udo teleported in front of Wonder. Udo pulled Wonder's head in to head-butt him. Udo then spun and kicked Wonder.

(His body is getting stronger? No, I'm just getting weaker. What in the hell are you doing? I can sense you alive!)

Udo jumped back and yelled. Causing Winder to fall to the ground and create another crater.

"If Udo wants to play this way…I wonder what the people in the Star clan will think!" Wonder jumped up and began to fly towards the clan.

Udo stayed in the air puzzled. "Huh? Where…is he…no, he wouldn't." Udo immediately chased after him.

******

Wonder flew over the clan and looked down at the Akies. Wonder held his hand in the air. "I'll show you…how easy it is to wipe out a good amount of your race!"

Wonder looked down to see all of the Akies in panic. Wonder looked at a woman holding her child. He immediately thought about Amethyst and her unborn baby. Wonder closed his eyes. He could feel what the mother was feeling.

"Interesting. I want to kill them…but, something in me just won't allow it. Does this have something to do with you, Crystal?"

Udo arrived and stopped a few feet away from Wonder. Wonder looked at his hands. "Something is wrong with me. Why do I feel this way?"

"Are you talking about sympathy?" Udo asked while holding his swords tight.

"No, it's more than that. I believe I have the same situation you do. Half."

"Situation? I can't take back what I did." Udo charged at Wonder. He twisted his body and kicked Wonder into the Star clan.

Everyone ran away as Udo fell on top of Wonder and began punching him into the ground. "Aauugghhh!!!" Udo put his fist together and slammed them into Wonder's chest.

Wonder used his aura to push Udo away. (It didn't even scratch him. His body must be complete.) Udo thought as Wonder jumped up and let out a loud roar that canceled his hearing.

Udo looked up to see Wonder had gone. Wonder took this time to zoom around the clan at a very fast speed. He quickly killed all of the adult-Akies in the area.

Udo jumped in front of Wonder and held out his arms. "YOU IDIOT!" Udo wrapped his body around Wonder and began to do a chant.

"Mighty…explosion!"

Udo's body brightened up with light. Wonder and Udo were caught in the explosion.

Wonder managed to use his claws to stop himself. Wonder looked around while everyone ran away. (He's using the crowd? I won't harm the children…just the ones who have done nothing with their lives. They…they have the blood of an Akie running through their veins and they are still weak.)

Wonder stood up and put his hands together. (Udo wouldn't use his own people…not after his past. He wouldn't kill his own or use them as sheids, right? My brain is almost fully healed. My abilities are recovering and my body is finished. Udo has no way of winning.)

While Wonder was in thought, Udo appeared into view with his fingers twisted. One eye was popping out from his long locs.

(There's nothing he can do. I'll use my expansion and end this once and for all. Once I use it, Udo will be forced to use his remaining abilities and energy to save everyone. Then, I'll eat him and have his skills.)

Wonder smiled and closed his eyes. His ears flicked as he could hear Udo whisper the terrifying word…"Expansion"

Wonder opened his eyes and was caught off guard by Udo's move. (Are you for real!?? His expansion will absorb all of the souls here or just kill them. Udo…you really are….MY VIEW OF LIFE!!) Wonder smiled and quikcly casted his expansion.

The two clashed for a moment before the two of the powers dissapeared. Both of the expansions failed.

"Seems like I wasn't the only one lying about their power." Udo laughed as he started to breath slightly heavy.

"It would seem we both really are low on energy. Of course, I can easily restore my own." Wonder looked around and notcied the bodies of people. "You really killed your own. Without thought, too. You caught me by surprise, Udo."

Udo smirked. His nose began to bleed. "Yep. I'm always full of surprises, I guess." Udo fell to a knee. Wonder cracked his neck. "You are at your limit. Your limit-breaker is gone. I can aslo sense that your soul ability is also draining away. You are finished. This time it is for good. You managed to save a small amount of the clan. I'll give you your praise for that."

Wonder snapped his fingers. "I know…that the young man didn't kill Titan. Somehow, you've managed to shrink the three bastards into normal-sized beings. I can sense three of them. Titan is-"

Titan fell from what seemed the sky and landed beside Wonder. Titan slightly taller than Wonder. "My king." Titan said.

"Glad to see you fine. Is the rest of you heading to aid the power families?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good. We will take Udo down. I don't want to use anymore of my energy. So, you, Preta, and Tesma will aid in my fight with Udo. Your giant forms should have 30% of your power. That's more than enough to handle the guardians distant relative and his crew. Now, shall we begin?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Udo could hear a woman's voice laughing. "You're so stupid!" She laughed happily. "Daddy!!"

"Hey, pa!"

"You mean…the world to me, Udo."

"I'd be lost without you."

"No matter what…I will always forgive you and love you. Because…you…are my…pride and joy in this life."

Udo could hear all of these voices. He smirked and got to his feet. "I've got people counting on me." Udo thought about his family. "I love and miss you all. I have a duty now." Udo thought about Jade,Xavier, Silvia, Jerome,Summer,Adisa, and even some of the enemies along the way. "I have my family counting on me. Can't die without being sure they can handle threats while I'm gone." Udo said while wiping his blood away.

"I'm the great Udo! This will not be enough to take me down!" Udo raised his aura levels, causing everything in the area the blow.

"Everyone…if you're weak, stay away." Udo annouched as he took a fighting stance.

Wonder smiled and raised his energy. Preta,Tesma, and Titan did the same. (Is this what it's all about? I don't know how you keep doing it, Udo…really, you are amazing! The perfect meal! The perfect Akie! When I arrived here…I took in all of the emotions of all beings. I felt absolutely sorry for them. The weak…all are sad creatures. Humans with no money, starving, creatures losing their homes, all of this and they still want to live. I finally grasped it. It's not the life that keeps them going or the fear of death…but, their loved ones and their strong…fighting spirit!)

"YOU'VE REALLY HAVE DONE IT NOW, UDO POWER!!" Wonder held his hands out while laughing uncontrollably. "I'll take the four of you on…and kill you!" Udo said while a smile.

(Life…I believe I've gathered what it has meant and the view of it. A woman and man won't feel anything. Not until they have a child. Then, they will work hard and go all out of the child. All because of love. It's Giving something back to the world through creativity and self-expression, and, Changing our attitude when faced with a situation or circumstance that we cannot change. I must learn more about this! I want to feel what these creatures feel when dealing with such things! What gives you the will to fight, Udo?!?)

Wonder pointed at Udo. "Attack!"
