"Alright Ray, I'm going to kick your ass got that?" I said with a smirk on his face.
"Okay dog, let's see what you got," Ray said dashing into Apollo.
His speed is amazing. Better than most speeds I've seen in my life. Can a runt like him really have all this power? Well, I can still dodge his attacks pretty easily. Right when Apollo thought he dodged the full attack his left cheek got a cut on it.
"You're so slow, let's hope your bite is as big as your bark from here on out. Or you'll die soon, and that's boring." Ray said before dashing Apollo again.
"Why are you talking like you're stronger than me? You haven't even seen me fight yet. Only fools assume they're better without any glance. Those same fools are surrounded by dogs, that tell them they're stronger than they actually are." I said still smirking, trying to get inside of his head, ruining his peace.
"There's a fine line between being confident and being cocky, don't confuse the two when you're weaker than someone." I knew this would make him freak out! Coming at me with full anger instead of taking my words lightly, I can beat his ass faster like this.
CHAPTER 11: Shattered Glass
Specialty Zoe: Wolf Style, Bone! To summon a bone with a blade on the tip.
"I see, you're a wolf hybrid. Your power is cool especially that bone move you just pulled. That must of taken a lot of practice considering summoning weapons are a hard Zoe to master unless it's your main ability which it's not. Since you are a wolf hybrid, you're more interesting than you give off." Ray said in a cocky tone before getting into a battle stance.
"Since you think I'm not stronger than you, I guess I'll beat the shit out of you to teach you I am," Ray said before having little sparks around his body and dashing at Apollo only ten times faster than before.
"I see. Your ability is lightning speed, nice power, and is flexible but I have one of the most flexible powers out there." He's fallen right into my trap, to lightly tap his arm.
"Scroll!" That's when a piece of paper fell off Ray and started to write words all on its own.
"Since I already figured out your ability, I won't need this but I want to show you the gap between us," I said calm and collected.
"The gap? What gap? You said it yourself, don't think you're stronger when you haven't even seen my real moves yet. Lightning blade!" With that, a blade of lightning came out of Ray's hand and he started to charge straight towards me.
"Oh, we're using sharp objects now okay. Claws!" With that claws grew out of Apollo's hands and Ray and Apollo's claws and sword clashed.
It was a fight to see who had more physical strength, that was another mistake he made and I sent him flying back.
"I told you, I'm levels ahead," I said before dashing in again using his bone staff. This was to easy, I'm utterly destroying Ray. I wasn't giving him a second to breathe, every moment he thought he was safe was another moment he wasn't. During all this, I knew to stay calm and cool and didn't waver once.
"You're one confusing one I may say. You used to be crazy and on edge, but now you're so calm and collected it's like you're a different person. Is this some type of trick to throwing me off? Well, it's not going to work. Go ahead, punch me."
I'll take him on that offer, something tells me he has something up his sleeve, however he doesn't know about Charging His Mind. So he isn't going to explain his ability nor his technique so it's best if I go in and do it. Here I go...
"Wolf Punch!" Just like that... I regretted it, a surge of energy just went through my body and made it so I couldn't breathe.
"You think you figured out my ability, haven't you? Think harder. I know it may be hard to think because you're a dog, but still try your best to see that my power isn't just lighting." Ray said laughing to himself.
"I don't need to figure out your ability, didn't you hear me? I told you I won and I'm doing things for style points." That's when I grabbed the scroll on the floor and started to read.
"Oh, I was wrong. Your real power is that of a stingray, and the more I hit you the more electrical charge you get, allowing for double the pain taken to return to the attacker. Let's see what's your ultimate." To make him mad, to make him slip up.
"I'll kill you!" Bingo. I got him right where I want him.
"Song Serum!"
"Why can't I move?" Ray screamed at me while I was too busy reading the scroll.
"I can stop your movement as long as you don't feel any high amounts of adrenaline coursing through your body or I attack you breaking a pack of trust. So practically as long as you don't get attacked or I attack you, I should be fine to read this scroll for the duration it works on you're body. That and if you have higher Zoe than me, or my serum ends and you start moving again. Now let's see your ultimate it just finished analyzing."
"Let me move right now!"
"No can do, I'm almost done though... Your ultimate is.... It's a bite. A bite that can kill the opponent, if you can hit enough electrical charge than a certain amount of voltage can, drain all Zoe out of anyone and charges the brain until death, there are no side effects. Wow, what a scary ability."
"Bastard!" Ray said finally being able to move and attack me, however it just isn't enough. But I need to be scared of that ultimate no matter how strong I am one touch of that and I'm out.
"This power is annoying, you essentially get more powerful for getting the shit kicked out of you," I said hitting him and dodging being hit.
"Shut the fuck up," Ray said and starting to get some good shots in, he was also going faster than before breaking the limits of just plain light speed.
"You- You, think you won huh? Just because you can amplify your speed, doesn't mean you are faster than me. I let my guard down because I thought you were weaker than this. I'm sorry, that's my bad for doing so. I'll treat you like a real opponent now, but beware it was better if I thought you were weak. It would have been better." Now I got to kick this man ass.
It's so easy I already dashed right behind him Ray and kicked him, then I dashed in front of him and started to punch him. "Paw Gatling!" A barrage of paw punches hitting Ray's face, destroying his face.
Dash again, to hit him head on! "Tail smack!" I shoot, and I score knocking him out of the fight.
"As I said, I let my guard down. Never doing that again, well at least to people who are semi-strong." Welp, that was fun. Now to go see if Z is winning or not or if he still needs to be trained.
"You think you're smart, with your remarks? Let me tell you this: compared to the greats you're nothing but a stepping stone who thinks they're powerful. You may defeat me, but I am not the final boss. Defeating me is a key, a key you don't want to turn to open the door. The door that burns everything and everyone around it, the door to hell." He still concious? Before I can turn around I heard the sound of glass being shattered.
...
"A girl at the Inn? You think you're getting past me, do you know who I am?" The man with white hair said looking at Dion. "Yeah, a pedo" I said looking unfazed, trying to get in his head.
"I'm going to become a top officer! I'm Quix The Deadly but you can call me Quix," Quix said with an evil smirk on his face.
"Alright Quix, I'm Dion. You're more of a man than I thought stating your name in an okay manner. But you still didn't offer me a drink so I can't go easy on you as well. But maybe I can turn a blind eye to that and only kick your ass lightly. I'll leave bruises and cuts but nothing broken. How does that sound?" Keeping my gentlemen tone, but still looking unfazed to get in his head.
"How about I take your head, and give you some wine through your dead skull, sir?" Quix said with a creepy smile on his face.
"Let's hurry it up then, like I said I don't got all day," I then pull out my sword.
"One Sword Style, Gentlemen's Slash!" Charging right past him and cutting, all in one simple motion
"Don't let me do that too many times to one area, or you're arm will fall off," I said with a small smirk coming to his face.
"Shut up, drunk. Flying scratches!" Quix said letting out a strong gust of wind with sharp nails inside of them cutting Dion all around.
"You're an air user huh? Never thought you are the kind of guy with air." Dion said before charging him again. "Gentlemen's Double Chop!" Repeating the same thing but cutting twice, this time going deeper into his arm. This is too easy.
"I had it with you, Jets!" Quix said making himself bounce around the room. It's smart I can't lie, to use the element of air to speed up your movements to go faster, a smart minded person or at least an adaptable one.
"Flying Scratches and Giant Scratch!" He screamed yet again, going 10x faster since he used Jets..
This isn't good, I didn't expect him to go this fast. He's going faster than at least 100x Light Speed. Since he gaining all this momentum, this is not good. I can see him and he still slow but if he plays his card righ-
"I'm not finished yet! Ultimate move, Pierce!" With that Quix dashed into Dion and cut off his arm.
"How about that, am I weak for you?"
"You are. You had to get rid of one of my body parts just to have an equal chance, but I'll duel with you and give you what you want." I slipped up, didn't expect for him to dash in. Now I want him dead. Losing my arm isn't the issue but losing my arm to him is making me upset.
I started to go at his speed, to make it fair. This speed is enough to go in and out of people regular vision. Expect for the sudden pauses of movement we made to clash with each other, we kept moving at that speed. It's slow but I'll use it.
"Before we keep fighting I want to know, did you hurt a boy with blue hair?" I needed to know. Here I am going easy on him and I don't know who shot Koji.I promised myself I was going to make whoever did so, life a hell.
"Oh, him? Yeah, I helped with that I was there. I didn't exactly shoot him but I told the crazy bastard to shoot at the girl since he wanted to shoot her and make her his wife so bad, and that I scoop her up while hiding in the back. But then the guy got in front of her and tried to slice our bullets so I shot him in the leg while he was busy on the other bullets. So in other words yeah it was me!" Quix said with his smile more twisted than the last.
"I. I. I. I'm going to torture you. I'm going to make your life a living hell for hurting him. You messed with the wrong swordsman, that boy- that boy-." Dion stopped himself as he felt a tear approach his eye.
"Sorry, I got too emotional. I'm going to kick your ass so hard, and I'm not stopping there. I'll make your life a living hell get ready for it." I knew what I'm going to do, no matter the pain. Everyday I got too see the amazing side of Koji while I trained him to be a good swordsmen. I found you, and now I'll make you pay. First thing first to cut the hands of this bastard, one finger at a time then to completely cut it off.
"What are yo-"
"One finger down."
"Is this some joke? A guy like you with this type of an aura, it's making me sick. No, no way! This is the aura of a superior user! I need to run! I can't fight a guy like you! This aura, your face, your power is that of a demon! I'm not fighting you! That means you're not even using you're second ability! That's right, run. Run so far that I can't catch up to you even though I know I can. Fear for your life, fear for the pain you're going to endure.
"Gentlemen's Slash Of Anger." Now lay there, lay there and bleed out from all the pain. I'll come back later to finish the job I got to make sure Kingsley okay first.
"I- I'm not done yet." That's when I heard the sound of glass being shattered.
...
"Take one of these, a little of those, an extra hit here." I shouldn't kill him but I'm having so much fun!
"Water whips! Ice Wheels! Water Whips again!" If he dies, he dies!
"You're a crazy bitch! I'm going to have to kill you the old fashion way." John said jumping into the water and staying under there for a while. Then John jumped out of the water and smashed something that looked like glass.
...
"You're on my nerves you got that, Golden hair?" Zap said looking at a persistent Kingsley.
"I'll never stop fighting you! What you did to my friend, I won't allow you to walk free." I need to calm down but, I can't all I could think about is pain. Jump so high and kick him with your foot of flames.
"Where are you jumpi-"
"Burning Drop!" I yelled with all my heart as I dropped further down with a foot with black fire.
"Didn't someone tell you, that going high in the sky only leaves you more open than any other position?" Zap yelled to me before wrapping his foot around mine and shooting me down into the ground.
"See, you're just an easy fight, golden hair." That's when Zap started to run in a full circle around I knew I couldn't defend against this.
"Deadly Spin" Was all I heard when I finally saw Zap do tons of spins and then kick me in the face then drop down and jumped off his hands and kicked me so hard in the chin I felt like I could black out.
I couldn't even stand he thought he was dead. That's when I felt something stomp on my body.
"You stupid idiot. You good for nothing bottom feeder. I bet your family is disappointed in you. I bet you wish you're life was more than a worthless piece of breath. Don't you?"
He continued on and on about how I was nothing. To be honest that been my whole entire life, even my parents. He's right, my parents are disappointed in me, they think I am a loser. All these insults ring like bell in my head, it makes me remember things I never want to...
"Golden hair! You have to be the biggest loser I've ever met. I wish I could kill you so the world could be a happier place. I wish you would die from the devil snatching you and bringing you down to hell, or is that too nice? Considering that's where monsters and demons like you want to live right? Well, go ahead and die to go to your real family." The top bully's closest friend said while kicking me in the stomach and punching me in the face, to the point of puke.
"Aw sick, you fuckhead got puke on my shoes," the top bully's best friend said walking away to find a way to clean his shoes. I didn't mean to puke on them, but it happen anyways. However the more he hits me, the more pain escapes me, why do they feel the need to make my life a living hell?
"Golden hair, why are you such a crybaby bitch? How about you try to fight back? Or are you that scared? Are you that much of a loser? Are you that much of a fucking wimp to not want to do anything? Look around everyone likes it better with you with a bloody nose and a messed stomach. Do you want to know why? I can tell you, nobody likes a waste of space, no good, depressing mistake that your parents created that's why." The top bully said kicking him so hard it broke his nose before telling his ragtag team to start to walk away from the scene.
I remember their names like I talked to them yesterday, John and Will. Those two ruined my life, at the time I wanted to kill myself. I believed everything they said because at the time even my own parents didn't show me, love. I had no one to rely on and no one who cared for me so that same day I was going to take my life. I remember wanting to at least eat this piece of candy since I was so hurt and it was the first piece of candy I had in a long time, I thought if I was going to do it then, best have one good thing happen before I do so.
Then they turned around and took it from me. I tried my hardest to get the candy back, I even wiped off my nose and eyes from all the blood and put on a strong act to for once stand my ground. Although it ended in failure, and them torturing me. That's when this boy came and stood up for me, if he hadn't come that day I was going to take my life. He saved me and showed me they're not impossible villains that no one can stop, they're just dickheads. From there the rest is history. From rainy days, to summer end we played and laughed together like no others. I also met Pete and his grandma I couldn't be happier. I still think what my life would be like If I didn't meet Z.
I thought I was going to say there forever until that day, when Z left for two seconds and... they did something to me that was unforgivable. Calling me names I wasn't, even though I didn't judge. They made me feel like a piece of trash the way they treated me that day. I never felt so depressed, that day I was going to end it. When walking home something approach me, a tall disfigured monster that came my way and tried to kill me but a man came by in the right amount of time and saved my life. He offered me something, a family and a place to be myself. G
From there I worked at the agency, what a place. I could never stop thanking Alfred for saving my life but also bringing me here. I met so many great people and now I call them a family. When I saw Z again that made me so much happier as well, it was something I felt I shouldn't experience.
Thanks to who loved me, who cared for me I lived longer than I would've of. Thanks to Everyone, I would've died a long time ago." Kingsley said with a tear dripping down his face, he then wiped the tear and stood up with vengeance.
"One, don't call me Golden hair, only my friends can do that. Two I'm not an easy fight so forget you said that. Lastly, I'm going to show you real power." I'm going to use it. Zig Zagging around the room and then kicking Zap hard in the stomach then twisting his foot.
"Burning Staggered." Then I dashed across the room behind Zap and used one of his most powerful moves.
"This will knock you out for sure, Ping Pong!" When Kingsley said that he started to go behind and in front of Zap like zap was a ping pong ball. Now to to jump in the air and hit him while he's hurt and dizzy!
"Burning Drop!" That's when Kingsley dropped on Zap's head causing smoke around Zap and knocking him out.
"Stay down." I started to walk away with confidence, that was before I heard the sound of glass shattering onto the ground.
