Chapter 32 - Resolve

"You heard me, I'll be bait" Blake says, sending his point home.

"You should be able to follow up on it quite nicely considering you can stop time". Blake says scoffing again at the absurdity of it all.

"Your serious" Morgan's dumbfounded expression reflects at Blake.

"Watch me" Blake says humms emit out of his feet echoing across the cave.

"Follow my lead this time". Sending a wink Morgan's way before rushing to build speed.

"I swear you're crazy". Morgan says, wiping a hand down his face.

Riding along the cave walls a green blur starts to illuminate the pitch black. Building up his speed he leaps off the wall heading straight for the enemy. Short platinum hair beams back at him.

"LETS SEE IF YOU CAN HANDLE THIS" Blake yells out directing the built up force into a spin, stealing a move from Kiara's books. Slamming his heel down as hard as he can now.

*CRACK*

Pieces of titanium and carbon fiber crumble off his boots. As the green light reflects off the gleaming material. Diamond covered arms nullify all his force entirely. Sending it back to him to an extent.

"Almost got me" A condescending smirk forms on the stout girl's face.

"Don't announce your attack next time dipshit, that should be obvious"

"Wait a minute you're that shitty non power user everyone keeps talking about pouring down the grapevine. People just won't shut up about you". Her tone fills with annoyance.

"Does it matter as long as I kick your ass?" Blake says expressionless. The task at hand sharpening his focus.

"The strong are the ones who get rewarded, the weak just get the scrapes. Let me burn that pecking order into your mind".

"Don't go crying at your father grave after this"

"What was that fools name everyone keeps going on about, Eric whatever"? Her cruel smirk infiltrates its way into his mind.

Like a nail to his mind, alien anger starts to brew in the deepest parts of him. Hibernation of the being being disrupted by its forming fury.

"FIGHT''

"FIGHT

"HOW DARE THEY" The beings' anger getting more and more vitriolic.

''EITHER YOU FIGHT OR I WILL'' An aggressive expression forms in the chaotic green energy circulating inside of Blake. Its sharp eyes pierced into him.

"Was already planning on it". Blake mutters to himself.

[Power supplement activated]

[35/50 Energy]

His boots start to roar with vibrations, speed builds in an instant. As his boots are put way past their limit.

"The rat finally scurried out did he"? Her partner remarks.

Sending out a green unfiltered stream of electricity from his prosthetics palm. The girl's shoulder is seared through leaving an erratic bore hole.

"AHHHHHHHHH"!

"HE JUST ATTACKED ME"?

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID HE HAD NO POWER TINA"!

"He doesn't, look at his arm Lana". Tina says deducing the parlor tricks

"Of course, why am I not surprised he's bound to have some tricks up his sleeve". Lana says.

"GAH" Her fresh wound sends a stabbing sensation throughout her shoulder. As charred flesh flutters its way into her nose.

Charging the injured girl Blake prepares for a heavy strike, Lana's brown eyes struggle to predict his strike.

"You really think you can just leave our fight" Tina says Covering her fists in rough diamond. Slamming them together.

"Remember the name Tina as you struggle through your worthless life".

"I like to think it's the cunning ones that uproot everyone else" Blake says, smirking at Lana.

"Why are you talking about freak"? Lana says sending a wave of sound in the same breath. Circles of vibrations reverberate through the air. Crashing into Blake, his body already taking the brunt of the damage.

"NOW" Blake yells as loud as he can throughout the cave network.

"You are one risky bastard Blake I swear" Ripples leaves Morgan's fingers as time stops once again.

"But this idea wouldn't have worked otherwise" Morgan sighs to himself.

"Lets get my end done first"

Surging his leg muscles with power, Extending his leg Morgan rotates his body slamming his foot right into Lana's face.

"ERRRRGGGGG" Morgan's face fills with anguish as his foot slams into her bearing through the immense pain forming. Time refuses to budge, returning part of his force back to him. Moving before the pain sets in, Morgan rotates Blakes body around. Facing Tina.

"That hurts like hell, I've done my part Blake now you do yours"! The small bones in his feet begin to fracture. His powers recoil and send shards of agony through his body.

A deep imprint of Morgan's shoe is seen in Lana's nose. Squashed like a jam donut waiting to come pouring out in full throttle.

*Snap* Time starts to come back into full swing again.

Blood starts to gush out of the poor girl's smashed nose. Her mind falls through from the forming pain and loss of blood.

"Lana"! Tina screams ring out in the cave network.

"What did you do"

"Ended the match" Blake says as a green spark leaves his eye.

"Ended the match? You couldn't even take a strike from me. You'll just continue to scurry around like the rat you are". Tina says, fully talking down to the vermin before her.

Rushing forward, she weaves her head past Blakes prepared strike. Her diamond covered knuckles reflect in his face. Bone starts to crunch in the process as the fist connects to his cheek.

[-10HP]

[25/35HP]

*Spit* A globule of blood shoots out of his mouth. Splattering crimson on the floor.

"I didn't hear no damn bell" Blake says, wiping the blood off his lips, staining the back of his hand.

"BRING IT ON"! He yells out, full of willpower.

"I'd be happy to" A diamondized flurry of punches are delivered to Blake. A punch finds its way through his defense's again striking him in the chest. Taking out a couple ribs in the process.

[-10hp]

"BLAKE"! Morgan yells out.

Forcing his eye open through the swelling, he traces his enemy through the tint of red as best as he can. Successfully dodging the second blow, he tries to catch some clarity.

*SLAM* A diamond knuckle hits him right in the jaw.

[-10HP]

[5/35HP]

Disorientation sweeps over him like a sandstorm. The world begins to sway back and forth in his vision. His equilibrium was fully disrupted.

"Looks like it's time to put you to sleep boy" Tina says.

Both fists come crashing down, the glint of the diamond fills his vision.

"My body won't move"! His legs remain stiff, unwilling to part from their spot gravity pressing down on him through the forming nausea.

''I CAN'T'' Dread filters throughout his mind

"I CAN'T REACT"

"YOU CAN" A low growl of a voice finds its way into the back of Blake's mind.

His body begins twisting on its own, narrowly avoiding the crippling slam only for him to deliver a fierce counterattack running his foot along the ground he builds as much momentum from the boots as possible.

"Let me return the favor" A menacing smirk fills his expression for a brief moment.

"Your not the same rat"!? Tina says

Directing all of the force down a precise trajectory, his leg sweeps round finding its way into Tina's unprotected chin. Taking her waking mind with the strike. Her body crumples to the floor as blood pools from her mouth.

''DO BETTER''! The voices fury dissipates into the murky blackness of his mind.

''I had to be bailed out again by that thing again''

''I don't know if I should be happy or really worried at this point'' Blake's thoughts bounce around like ping pong balls in his cranium.

''Either way that just shows I'm not strong enough yet'' His thought course through his synapses at a rapid rate from the cooling adrenaline

"You, you actually took her out. That was one hell of a kick Blake" Morgan says with bewilderment.

"I knew you had some hidden potential in you but I wasn't expecting this". Morgan's arm finds its way around Blake's shoulder laughing through their rough victory.
