"SHI-SHIT!!!!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The air erupts as A.K lets a ferocious blow loose!!!
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Hm."
A.K exclaims smirking confidently…
("FWOOOSH!!!!")
"…"
"I guess you might be worth fighting after all."
He says smirking as the dust settles and the situation becomes clear.
Xavier…
Within a breath of a second.
Just barely…
MANAGED TO BLOCK THE PUNCH!!!!!!
"Tch!"
Xavier exclaims frustrated, before jumping back to create space between them…
"…"
"So?"
A.K says cheekily
"What do you wanna do now?"
He says looking at Xavier, who clutches his forearm in slight pain
"…"
"That was some punch."
Xavier thinks as his forearms tingle.
"…"
"Oh c'mon!"
"Don't tell me you're afraid now?"
A.K shouts childishly
"Geez why does it always turn out this way!"
He wonders sarcastically
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"TCH!"
Xavier exclaims gritting his teeth once more!
"Ofcourse am afraid!!"
He thinks
"Aside from the skirmish with Murdock two months ago…"
"I've never had to face someone one on one for my life before."
He thinks watching A.K fuss like a baby
"…"
"But…"
"…If it's only this much."
Xavier thinks looking to his arms as a sadistic smirk creeps in… (0_0)?
"…"
"Hm?"
A.K exclaims watching Xavier
"…"
"I see you've come to a decision."
A.K says smirking as the sand starts to move and swirl around Xavier!!!
"Right choice."
He says confidently before starting to make his way toward Xavier
"…"
"Focus."
"Focus."
Xavier thinks as the sand swirls slow around him…
"…"
(deep breath)
"FOCUS!"
("bzzzTTT!!!!")
!!!!BOOOM!!!!
The air erupts!!! If only just a little.
Blowing away all the sand that was gathering around Xavier!!!
"Whoa!"
A.K exclaims taking a step back
"A ('souls') transformation without a focus word."
"Colour me impressed."
He says smugly, watching a focused Xavier already in a battle stance!
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"He's well covered so I can't tell what form he's in."
A.K thinks assessing the situation
"Well no matter."
He thinks smirking
"It's not like he's one of those damn royals."
He thinks salty
"Just some street rat Yasser picked up to do his bidding."
He thinks
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Still though…"
A.K thinks as sand begins to swirl around him too…
"Why do I feel compelled to take him seriously …"
He thinks suddenly much more tense as his muscles tighten
"..."
-silence-
"…"
....
ZIP!!!…
…!!!ZIP
("…")
[The Leading Pack]
-Cassey-
"HM?"
Cassey Raine exclaims curiously, immediately pausing his reading and facing the direction of the middle pack tent.
-Lillith-
"Huh?"
Lillith Cane's eyes spring open immediately, waking her from her sleep as she faces the direction of the middle pack tent groggily.
-Jimmy-
"HUP! HUP! HUP!--"
Jimmy Blanche immediately stops his push-ups, popping upright before he faces the direction of the middle pack tent smirking
-Sierra-
"…"
Sierra Cloud sitting silently atop a hill, faces the middle pack tent.
"…"
[Middle-pack Tent]
"…"
-silence-
"…"
....
ZIP!!!…
…!!!ZIP
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xavier and A.K collide as the tent is blown clean off its nails in ground!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xavier and A.K exchange blows at a ferocious speed as not one of them is able to hit their mark!
The sound of the explosions being produced by nothing but the sheer weight of their fists!!!!
"Hey! Not Bad!!!"
"NOT BAD!!!!!!"
A.K shouts excited at the exchange to a steel focussed Xavier
"At the level you're playing you might just be able to hang!!!!"
He shouts as he swings heavier! And heavier! with every blow!!
"HEY NOW WHATS THIS???"
A.K thinks excitedly
"Maybe I underestimated this kid too much he's seriously good!"
He thinks
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Yes! YES!!! GIVE ME MORE!!!!"
He thinks as the blows keep raining in with no direct hit on either!!!!
"YES!"
"With this I can probably turn the heat up a little more."
A.K thinks smirking sadistically!
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"More…"
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"MORE!"
He thinks slowly raising his projection with every blow!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"MORE!!!!!"
("CHEK.")
A.K's fist grazes Xavier's cheek causing a little blood to spill…
"…"
"That's more like it."
A.K thinks smirking excitedly
"You're just like the rest of them."
He thinks happily
"You should know your place!"
A.K thinks.
When….
"…"
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
("…plop…")
"Huh?"
A.K thinks confused…
"Did he just…"
"Disappear?"
He thinks as Xavier vanishes right before his very eyes!
"…"
"No…"
"There's no way that's possible…"
He thinks taken aback as time slows
"He's probably behind--"
"Am right here asshole."
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Ack!!!"
A.K's forced to block a shot from Xavier at the very last second who appears to be…
Right in front of him?!?!!
"WH-WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!!"
A.K thinks confused as he turns on the defensive, twisting and swaying out of attacks
"C-CALm down."
He thinks as a cold sweat begins to brew
"Am sure it was just a…"
("…plop…")
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"SHIT AGAIN!!!!"
A.K thinks in a panic as Xavier vanishes once more before his very eyes! Before reappearing and hitting hard into his block again!!!!
"WH-WHAT THE HELL IS GOING!!!"
A.K thinks panicked as he finds himself on the defensive again!
Twisting and swaying to stay clear of Xavier's punches!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"SHIT! IF THIS KEEPS UP I MIGHT JUST--!!!"
He thinks as he dodges Xavier's spirited onslaught
"…"
"NO! Calm down!!!"
He thinks nervously in an effort to compose himself
"I just have to change the fight from an all-out slug and then I'll--"
("…plop…")
"I LOST HIM AGAIN!!!"
He thinks in a panic
"NO! Wait don't look behind he'll show up in front of me anytime soon!!!"
He thinks steeling his resolve when
"…"
("…bzzt…")
"…"
"I see so that's how it is."
A.K thinks smirking brightly as he just barely catches a silhouette of Xavier from the side of his eyes!
BOO--FWOOOSHH!!!!!!!
The air erupts in a burst of wind as Xavier's next blow catches nothing but air!
"…"
"Hm."
Xavier exclaims
"Heh."
"…"
"HAHAHAHA!!!!"
A.K laughs manically as he finally evades trouble, jumping back to create space!
"AHA…AHAHAHAHAHA"
He laughs
"If that's all it really was then I just have to--"
"Too late dumbass."
Just then, Xavier's voice peers in coldly as he immediately closes the distance between them!!
Appearing right Infront of A.K!
"TCH!"
"What do you mean it's too late idiot!"
A.K thinks frustrated caught off-guard!
"All I have to do is block this next punch and then I can--"
"…"
"…ah--"
A.K exclaims shook when a sudden realization dawns on him…
"…"
"I CAN'T MOVE MY ARMS!!!!
He thinks in a panic!!!!
"Th-THIS KID!!!"
"WAS HE PURPOSELY HITTING INTO MY BLOCK ALL THIS TIME!!!!"
He thinks panicking!!
"NO THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!"
He thinks anxiously
"IT SHOULDN'T!!!!"
He thinks panicking
"F*CK!"
"In that case all I have to do is step back and--"
"You really are a dumbass."
Xavier voice peers in once more just as A.K jumps back when…
"…"
("SHAAA!!!")
"eh."
A.K exclaims as he lands on a sloped part of land that disables his balance…
"…"
"What the--"
He thinks in slow motion as he falls to the ground slow
"How is this possible…"
He thinks
"This kid."
"Did he… plan all this?"
He thinks
"Was I being dragged along all throughout this fight…"
He thinks
"But if he… if he had that kind of power, why didn't he end the fight earlier?"
He thinks
"…"
"Was i…"
"Was I nothing but a gauge to test your abilities."
He thinks as Xavier's silhouette draws closer. His crimson red eyes blazing with murderous intent to finish the bout.
"…"
"Those eyes…"
A.K thinks watching his impending doom.
"I see…"
He thinks closing his eyes slow
"Thanks for the warm-up…"
Xavier mumbles smugly
"But this ends here…"
("…..")
("bzz..")
("zzzZZZTTTTT!!!!!!")
"…"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The explosion is huge as the sand and air are forced back leaving nothing but bare land!!!!!
"…"
"…"
The sand trickles slow to the ground as the dust begins to settle…
"…"
"…"
Silence befalls the land when…
"That's enough!"
A high-pitched feminine voice shouts clearly…
"…"
"Huh?"
Xavier exclaims in confusion when he realizes…
His punch was blocked!!!
"Wha-WHAT THE!--"
"You've already won haven't you?"
Xavier is about to shout when he is cut off by the person who currently stays his hand!
"…"
"What is--"
"Personally, I don't care what happens to these scumbags."
"But when I become Captain of Squad 1 I intend to have strong allies."
The person says cutting off Xavier once more!
"Who is…"
Just then the dust clears to unveil a small scrawny girl with red hair and eyes to match!!!!
"L-Lillith Cane!!!"
Xavier thinks before jumping back subconsciously!!
"Hm?"
Lillith exclaims confused
"…"
"Oh, so you know who I am."
She says smugly
"Smart choice."
Lillith remarks smirking
(sighs)
"Well, whatever the case its night-time and some of us are trying to get up bright and early tomorrow so if you could end your fight here, I'd greatly appreciate it."
She says looking to a cautious Xavier and then to a defeated A.K who just lies there.
"This girl."
Xavier thinks looking at Lillith who returns his gaze cluelessly
"She stopped that punch like it was nothing!"
He thinks.
"Are…"
"Are all the royal's monsters like her?"
He thinks smirking anxiously as a cold sweat drips down the side of his face
"…"
"…"
