From the very beginning, Michael planned on going to the lab all by himself. But Lucifer was an unexpected variable who insisted on going with him.
Michael could have killed him back at the cave but ultimately chose not to. Why would he say no to someone who was going to help him?
He was well aware of the dangers within the Secret Lab, therefore he 'reluctantly' accepted.
If Lucifer died by the hands of the creature, it was fine as he helped stall for time to deal with the second creature.
And if he was successful in retrieving both the diary and the mystery serum the base had been built for which is a highly unlikely scenerio, it was even better!
Now that they were out of the base, it was time to collect his goods from Lucifer and thank him by keeping him silent forever. And as the say, dead men tell no tale.
In the blink of an eye, he had appeared behind Lucifer, stabbing straight into his throat. His speed was so fast, the after image he left was only just starting to fade!
No one would have expected him to have acted this fast and even if one had expected it, they wouldn't be fast enough to avoid the attack.
Michael's smiled widened when the blade cut through Lucifer's neck smoothly. In his mind, he couldn't help hut wonder how Lucifer was able to defeat the monster in the second lab.
Just as he was reveling in his victory, the youth's was surprised as he didn't receive any feed back from the knife.
'An After image?'
Suddenly, there was a loud bang as the air as well as the ground exploded, ripping apart the after image of Lucifer as well as sending dust to the atmosphere.
Like a phantom, Lucifer had appeared behind Michael as he also whispered to his ears. "I listened."
Michael's face turned cold, but before he could react, a large fist soared through the air as it crackled like thunder, enlarging as it filled his entire face.
"BOOM!"
The air exploded one more as visible amounts of shockwaves ripples in midair causing the surrounding to shake
At the last minute, Michael had twisted his body blocking the fist strike with his two arms.
"Bam! Bam! Bam!" Lucifer's body jolted backwards by three steps, leaving deep foot prints that cracked the ground while Michael skidded backwards creating two deep fissures in the ground. Finally stopping as his leg touched a small tree.
With a loud bang, the trunk of the tree exploded into splinters, it's fragments shooting apart like hidden blades.
Michael's face was solemn as he started at Lucifer with a new found seriousness. He had thought his attack was an overkill, he didn't think Lucifer would actually be able to avoid them and even retaliate with a deadly attack.
"You are obviously just a genetic soldier, how come you have the strength of a false Evolver?" Michael asked, he coudorb contain his curiosity. Every one wished for strength, to survive and also to rule.
Lucifer obviously only had in level in combat domain as well as Psionic domain therefore, how was he so powerful enough that he could take on the strength of an Evolver?
There are several serums out there that could increase the strength of an evolver. Making it seem as though they had the strength of a Level above their current level but Lucifer strength was two levels above his original level.
This wierd situation arouse Michael's curiosity and he truly wanted to find out.
Lucifer remained silent, his eyes brows furrowed to a frown as he stared at the youth before him. Although he had come out victorious in that exchange he was well aware that the youth before him was absolutely dangerous.
Michael grinned." Since you are not going to answer, I might as well beat it out of you."
"Have you ever seen anyone gifted in the Temperal Origin?" The youth suddenly asked.
Lucifer's pupils constricted as he felt the temperature of his surroundings started rising. "Y_you..."
"Be the first to witness my flaming fist."
"Whoosh!"
The temperature suddenly rose drastically as a scorchingly violent flame erupted from Michael's arms. The flames rose as it roared wildly like a beast, consuming the entity of Michael's arms. His sleeves was instantly burnt to crisp, the ashes flying along with the wolf wind.
Michael didn't give Lucifer time to escape from his shock when his figure vanished, leaving an explosive image behind which exploded with a bang, releasing sparks of flames in mid-air!
His speed had increased even more.
Lucifer could feel a violent hot sting of flames rapdilt closing on him, threatening to burn him to ashes with its temperature.
Suddenly, Lucifer releases a violent roared as his cells went into over-drive! Activating all of his ability without reservations!
With a bang, his shoes exploded and his sleeves turned to smithereens
Veins popped up all over his body, his blood boiling and wildly coursing through them. His two legs seemed to swell up, causing his shape to expand to a much larger stature than his original physical size. He looked like normal human with the legs of a rhino
He bent his body sideways and abruptly released an astonishingly violent kick that sprung out like a whip
"RIP!!!"
A tearing sound like that of cloth being ripped could be heard as his right foot tire through the air, shooting towards the flaming fist with explosive force. Lucifer's eyes were bloodshot at this point in time.
Sparks flew off, forming as his leg moved, creating the blurry shape of an axe, colliding squarely with the oncoming feiry fire fists.
"KA-BOOM!!!"
Massive ripples of shockwaves accompanied by intense flames blasted apart the surrounding, turning the baby forest into a sea of flames.
The force from their collision was so strong it instantly traveled along Lucifer's body, trying to push him backwards.
Lucifer suddenly spun around, with his hands to the ground. He rode on the kinetic force as he spun his waist, Whipping out with his left leg at lightning speed!
ROAR!"
A deafening tiger roar!
