James who was startled by the appearance of Neo instantly attacked with a punch to his stomach before he could recognize who he had just punched.
"Cough!! Cough!!!" Neo coughed out loud as he tried to catch his breath while laying on the ground.
Walking towards the beaten man, James shook his head with a sigh before he stretched his hand forward and offered to pull him up.
"Sorry about that, I thought that you were an enemy like one of those things I had to take down".
"Ah!!! Don't worry about it. I had t fight one of them too so I understand" Neo replied as he held James' hands and dragged his body up.
"But still, you pack a hard punch".
"It's nothing but an extra boost after attaining this kind of strength" James replied as he walked over to the stairs to relax as he finished dressing his wounds.
"So how was your battle?" Neo questioned.
And James couldn't help but sigh as he remembered how the fight had gone down, and how he had let the opponent go.
