" You again "
After she was shot at Merona was displeased to see terabyte again while Overheat was suprised and confused at the same time.
" Terabyte what are you doing here , I though you left "
Overheat ask.
" Shut up, I don't know why I'm here either .... Urgh we have a job to do and you're coming with us wether you want to or not "
" But I told you I'm not going back, for the first time I have someone who likes me for who I am and I won't let you ruin it for me "
" Tch, come on get real, that girl doesn't like you she's using you. Genesis warned me about her true nature , about how she seduced men and turned him into her loyal servant "
" No, don't listen to her "
Merona rush over to Overheat and places his hand on her chest. His gaze was focus on the fact that his hand is on her boob, This got him excited in more ways than one
" Feel my heartbeat, it has never beat like this for anyone else. Overheat, I'm truly in love with you, you're not going to leave me after what we have. You said it yourself that this is your first time experience love, well it's my first time as well. What we have is special, please don't let what we have fade away "
Overheat looked Merona in the eyes and they were filled with desperation. He couldn't feel her heartbeat racing and believe every word she said.
" I've already made up my mind that I'm not going back. I'm staying here with Merona"
He said to Terabyte
" Urgh, you're so f*cking gullible, fine then "
Terabyte points her finger at Merona.
" I propose we fight 1 on 1 ,if you win you can keep the ring and you can keep that idiot but if I win I get the ring and Overheat comes with me "
Lockjaw and Overheat was surprised Terabyte made such a proposal. Even though she used to be a mercenary and skilled with with weapons and technology she's still a Regular human, To challenge an S ranked as she is would be no different from committing suicide.
" Tera are you sure about this? "
" Yes I'm sure, What do you say Merona? "
Merona started to laughed sadistically and her sweet personality changed to a arrogant one.
" You challenge me to a fight my how amusing but fine I'll accept your challenge and when I win, he will belong to me "
Overheat felt frightened because he finally saw her true color. A sadistic woman who treat those around her as nothing but her playthings.
" So you've shown you're true nature b*tch Okay, why don't we... ? "
Before Terabyte could finished talking Merona dashed towards her with the speed of a cheetah and a punch as powerful as the force of a charging bull. Terabyte was send flying through the air and while falling to the ground she activated her jet boots. She fly back to up pyramid and shoot at merona using Uzi's.
As fast as cheetah Merona zigzag around dodged bullet before she leaped with the fitness of a monkey and grabbed Terabyte foot then used the momentum to swing upon her back. Merona choke hold Terabyte with the grip of a boa.
" Get off me, you aaaaaarrgh "
Terabyte said as tried to get out of the choke hold while flying aimlessly through the air. No matter how much she tried Merona's hand was budging in the slightest.
" Fufufufu, there is no use trying to get out of my grasp it's impossible "
Overheat and LockJaw watched the fight together.
" Are you going to help her, she doesn't stand a chance against Merona ?! "
" This fight belongs to Tera interfering will be a insult to her and besides she's doing this for your sake so let her "
Lockjaw said.
" My sake, why would she do that? "
" You mean you have no clue "
" No "
Overheat was confused and LockJaw noticed this and look him silent before he let out a sigh.
" Everyone was right, you really are an idiot "
" Hey take me serious ! "
Terabyte continue to struggle to get out of Merona choke hold amd she could start to feel her consciousness fading away little by little.
" Ready to die ?"
Merona's ask.
" I'm not through with you yet "
Terabyte suddenly thought up a perfect idea, She find her balance in the air and use her jet boots to push herself backwards into the side of the pyramid. Since Merona was holding Terabyte from behind she slammed into the wall first but she managed to save herself by harden her back to the toughness of a tortoise shell. Terabyte manage to break free of the choke hold, however she couldn't remain airborne for long. She slowly descending down on the stairs and hold her throat while coughing
" Damn, As expected of an S ranked evolver, I thought I was going to die.. Huh? "
Terabyte jumped back out of instinct as Merona came jumping in and clawed at Terabyte. She managed to dodge in time but her shoulder was scratched with three lasherations and the injuries was created by Merona sharp nails. Terabyte started to panick and made herself invisible using one of her gadget.
Merona looked around for Terabyte and suddenly she was punched In the face. Merona swings her claws to the right but missed and got punched on her right cheek, she did a round kick but missed again and was punched in the stomach. Merona continue to swing her hands and feet widely hoping to land a hit and she was kicked in the back inside.
" Alright if that's how you want to play "
Merona stood back on her feet and stood still with her eyes closed, using the sonar of a bat she checked her surroundings. Terabyte who was invisible moved in for the final blow with a punch carrying all her strength. Suddenly Merona raised her hand and grabbed the air. Terabyte became visible again and her fist was within Merona's hand. With the strength of a gorilla she easily snapped Terabyte wrist.
" aaaaaaaaaahh ! "
Terabyte takes a step back holding her broken wrist and suddenly she was punched in the face.
" You may have hidden yourself but you still make sounds when you move around and all I had to do is track you using sound... this proves you can't measure up to me "
Merona then punched her again.
" You can't hope to defeat me "
Merona then knee Terabyte in the stomach.
" More over, you can't take what rightfully mine "
For the finished blow Merona's kicked terabyte straight in the face and send her flying through the air, crashing on the steps below. Terabyte came to a complete stop and she was barley conscious. Her nose and wrist was broken and her left arm was dislocated. Merona stepped over her and hold terabyte up by her hair.
" You can't achieve nothing because you are nothing, face it I've one and you lost.. Now let's end this "
Merona make her hand into a blade to stab Terabyte and before she did, overheat came swooping in to save Terabyte and the look on his face indicate that he wasn't smiling in the slightest
" What are you doing? "
Merona ask.
" I'm saving my friend from you, this fight is over "
" W-why are you willing to protect her ? she tried to steal your happiness from you . "
" No, she was saving me from the conniving viper that you are "
Overheat stood up and faced her, his eyes was very cold and intense. Merona started to put on her facade of a helpless innocent girl.
" How could you say such a thing, I thought you loved me, I thought we had a special connection "
" Stop with this nonsense! "
Overheat shout.
" There is no use hiding it, How could I have been so blind by love in such a way that I couldn't see you for what you really are ? I should have believe my friends instead I'm willing to abandon them, abandoning my duties. No more, this has to end now "
Listening to his words Terabyte fell unconscious. Merona scared and helpless expression changed to one sinister.
" You think I will leave me? Never, You belong to me now in both body and soul "
She said.
" LockJaw take Terabyte far from here "
Overheat said
Lockjaw took Terabyte in his arms.
" Are you sure about this? "
He ask.
" Don't worry about me, I'll catch up to you real quick "
Overheat said, Merona started to laughed.
" You should give up while you have the chance because you belong to me now. so are you going to rebel against your mistress ? "
" you're not my mistress you're someone who hurt my friend and anybody that hurts my friend is my entry so let's do this "
Overheat release all the flames in his body melting even the pyramid away. Merona panicked and quickly jumped back. Overheat transformation was complete and he was in his inferno form.
