Laying on the floor, I watched Manny and some enigma battle. Both of them corresponded with strikes and eventually became wary of it. Manny asked the person who was they and the other person said they're retribution. Manny noticed Eqihr's sword and asked about it. The other person said that they received it from the leader of the five serpents. The next thing that happened was Manny and the enemy clashing strikes once more. Then they broke apart and Manny asked him about Eqihr's location. The enemy didn't respond and pursued Manny furthermore.
The strange thing about Manny was that he didn't rely on any medium to use his power. This was strange because all enhanced people have mediums that help us use our abilities. By this point, I thought of Manny as his level of strength. However, his opponent was an even bigger beast. Suddenly the enemy leaps upward and aims the dragon sword high, and swiftly thrusts the blade at Manny.
Manny would eventually evade the sword as it came closer to him. My brother then pulls his arm back and holds it in that position. This was his special attack, he never named it but without a doubt, it can cause some damage. Manny looks the enemy in the eyes and offered peace before he continued. The enemy laughed in his face and called him a bastard for think of him so lowly. Manny had enough and darted in his direction with his fist ready to strike his opponent.
The opponent then moved the sword in the center of their chest and both hands on the handle. Then he told Manny that it was his last chance to give up the Yin power. Manny had no qualms with him and continued his strike. And when Manny's fist hit the sword the enemy vanished and moved right behind Manny. Next, the enemy thrust themself at Manny at tremendous velocities. Manny wouldn't have enough time to evade and if that attack hit him, he would for sure die.
My body had finally gained its strength, and I could move. I bolted towards Manny and jumped towards the sword. The sword then pierces my chest and Manny fell on his butt. The sword was then stuck in my chest and the enemy was struggling to pull on it. I then placed my palms on their head and tore off the mask and revealed the face of a female.
The girl then kicks off of me with the sword in her hand and says, "You'll regret that... I promise you." She then hung the sword next to the right side of her hand and bolted to me. I aimed my ring at her and punched the air towards her. She was then sent flying into a nearby wall. Manny used this attack to go for a closer one. He swiftly maneuvers himself in front of her and used his charged punches. She quickly evaded him and kicked him back to his primary location.
Manny felt that attack and placed his hand on his gut. I then leaped in front of him and acted like a guard. The girl looked like she was vibrating while moving, then she shouted, "Phantom one!" She would spiral as a faint blue aura erupted from it, this cause the ground to shake uncontrollably. Emerging from her spiral was a giant abomination of aura. This made the mood unsettling.
Paralyzation ran through me and I was yet again unable to accurately function. As she spiraled, it directed the dragon sword towards us and was moving vigorously. We couldn't do anything but move away from her and to safety. Manny and I were on top of a home and he told me we didn't stand a chance at the moment. I agreed since she seemed a bit more experienced in fighting than we were. She jumped on the roof and told us hiding was useless. Manny and I leaped off of the roof and bolted in a different direction. She then zoomed towards Manny and kicked him into some wall. Next, she quaked through the air and knocked me into the fountain.
My back instantly healed, and Manny shook his injury off. She began to monologue concerning the five scales and their uprising. Manny had interrupted her by punching her with his strongest attack. As she flowed through the wind, she stabbed the sword into a roof and caught herself. She told us that this war will not stop until we give up. Manny and I were ignorant about her statement and pursued her together. Blow after blow, we would attack her, but she would avoid them all.
Then Manny laid a jab on her leg, and she slightly fell off balance. I used this opportunity to 360 spin kick her right in her face. She caught my foot and aimed it at Manny, but he leaned backward. She smirked, tripped him, and threw me into him. This propelled us into another wall and gave her the upper hand. She placed her sword in her holster and looked behind me with grief.
From behind me, I could feel a dark power growing like a virus. This was Manny's power. I knew it because it feels similar but immeasurable. I finally turn around and Manny's entire aspect morphed into something powerful. His hair was jet black and was pointed straight upward. He grew fangs from his mouth and it marked parts of his face with dark patterns. One of his eyes had the Yin symbol as a pupil, and his body had branched limbs that weren't exposing themselves yet.
She then shouted, "Impossible." And Manny zoomed at the speed of light in the attempt to hit her. She barely leaped out of the way, but Manny came back around and punched her. This caused her to collide with many walls and structures. After that, she looked severely damaged and was on defense now. And while they were fighting, I was pulling in as much energy as I could.
Manny pushed his fist towards the ground and aura designed in the shape of a sword hovered above his fist. Manny was on a whole other level at this point. He was beyond Eqihr and me. The girl then said, "Impudent." She sticks the sword in the ground and a great quantity of them erupted from the ground. Manny leaped upward and drove his sword inside the soil, and the swords turned to rust before vanishing.
The girl started hand-to-hand combat with Manny and relied on that since abilities wouldn't work on him. Every time she would hit him, he would nearly get hit until she performed the same kick I did on her, to him. Manny stood back up and bolted to her. This time, she couldn't see him. But as soon as he was about to strike her, he fell and his ability vanished. She stood frozen for some time and realized.
She smiled and walked to Manny's unconscious body and threatened to kill him if I hadn't given up. This took me a minute to process because I was trying to see what Manny would do. I looked down with doubt and said, "Fine, I give..."
