" Hey "
A woman in a white dress with white hair questioned, as she stood behind a tree, hiding from a white haired man who sat on the other side of the tree
" Hey "
The man questioned, not really bothering to look back since he was too busy reading a book
" What are you doing? "
The woman questioned as the man simply closed the book, putting his finger in-between so that he wouldn't lose the page he was in
" I'm reading a book, what are you doing? "
The man replied, as the girl simply smiled, walking out of the back of tree, to then stand in front of the man, the wind hitting her like a storm, lifting her dress and rising her hair as high as it could go
" Heh, I'm looking at you, what else? "
She answered, with her hands in-between her legs so that the man wouldn't be able to see underneath her dress
" Why are you covering yourself? Aren't we expecting a child? "
The man questioned, to then stand, seeing as the woman began to laugh, which made him smile
" I know, I'm just teasing you "
The woman replied as she wrapped her arms around the man's neck
" I love you Vladimir "
" and I love you, Vivian "
The man whispered, kissing the woman now known as Vivian on her forehead, closing his eyes to then simply open them up, receiving a punch from Shu who seemed irritated
" Stop day dreaming! "
The boy yelled to then grab Vladimir by his hair slamming his face in the ground to then drag it across the ground, hurling him miles away a few seconds later
" Ethan Edwards, although physically weaker than you, gave me a harder fight, I wanted to make you suffer for torturing me, but right now I just feel pity "
Shu said as he walked toward the man, who began to stand up from the ground, cleaning away the blood that was spilling from his now broken nose, he had cuts everywhere all over his face
" Ethan? If he gave you a harder fight then.. "
The man whispered, as electricity began to surround his entire body, his muscles gaining some more mass as if to indicate that he's grown stronger
" I'll be a nightmare "
The man added, as he appeared beside Shu mid air, to then punch the boy right in the side of his face, using the strength in his entire body to do so, sending the kid miles up into the air only to appear above him and send him back to the ground with another punch, Shu's body creating a crater the moment it made contact with the ground
" Thats more like it!! "
Shu yelled as he stuck his hands out from the ground, gripping the sides of the hole he was in to then pull himself out, grinning just like a demon would
" You look more of a maniac than me "
Vladimir pointed out as he landed on the ground, staring at the boy with a small smile
" But I do admit I'm starting to understand what this excitement for battle you feel is "
The man said to himself as he looked down at his right hand before using that same hand to block one of Shu's punches, creating a shockwave which cleared away the fog of dirt that the boy's impact created
" What is this, your awakening? "
Shu questioned as the man simply tilted his head in confusion
" What do you mean? "
Vladimir questioned just to be ignored and receive a kick to his face, losing his grip on the boy to tend to his new feeling of pain
" I guess it isn't then, your power didn't multiply by much so I kind of assumed you were holding back "
Shu said as he scratched the back of his head looking up at the man with a calm expression
" Holding back? What do you mean? I've been going all out, don't tell me are you saying you're.. "
The man couldn't finish his sentence, after all he was interrupted by a kick to his ribs which sent him flying and crashing against a rock
" Well it doesn't matter! Let's enjoy ourselves for as long as we can! "
Shu yelled, laughing as he stared at the sky, which upset the man a bit, who had almost forgotten what he was mad about
" You know, I've began to like you, this fight has made me grow admiration for you, but it also made me forget, that I need to make you pay "
The man said, which in turn caused Shu to stop his laughter
" Well don't worry, I won't ever forgive you for what you did to me, so no matter how much I enjoy this fight, I will kill you in the end anyway "
Shu replied, staring at the man from afar, doing absolutely nothing as the man did the same, before they both disappeared from the perception of a normal human eye, to then appear in the middle of the craters, clashing with fists engulfed in sanctuary energy.
The punch was strong, strong enough to split the ground in half, the clouds from which snow fell and even cracked open the air.
Their fists clashed for a few seconds before the energy they gathered bursted in a huge explosion causing the two males to fly backwards, roughly crashing against the ground.
Snow now no longer fell from the sky, it couldn't, the clouds were destroyed, reduced to small fractions of its once bigger self, lava began to spew from the ground they just split, and the crack in the air began to repair itself
" The clashing of our opposite energies must of caused reality to react "
The man said as he began to stand, but of course, Shu wouldn't allow him a second of rest, as he soon landed beside the man, beginning in exchange of attacks and combos, which would spread across the entire area.
" Well, I think it's about time we started evacuating too, and don't worry Ayami will get your mom back "
Yuyen said, as she began to follow the crowd of evacuators with a desperate Tristen in arms
