Miles away from Grava Academy Stadium on a wasteland created by the battle between Hunter and Nixion, the battle between the ambition of Wayne and the malice of Hunter has begun.
Wayne flies directly forward with the help of Lex and attempts to cut Hunter, but easily gets evaded.
"Hey, I'm starting to remember how our battle last time went!"
Hunter weaves a bullet from Wayne's gun and grabs him by the face.
"You and your little friends tried to fight me all at once, and you were the weak link who could only catch me off guard!" Hunter screams as he throws Wayne into the air with a single hand.
Wayne does multiple flips in the sky, and then Lex uses its wings to help him settle in the air.
"That was last time when my ambition wasn't enough! Where it wasn't refined! Since that day, I've been training like hell, putting my ambition and body to the test!" Wayne screams with an irritable frown on his face.
Wayne spits out what appears to be a piece of flesh from his mouth.
When Hunter notices this, he looks at his hand and sees a slowly growing hole in it.
"Haha, so in that quick second, you bite off a piece of my skin and spit liquid anti-OGI toxins into my hand, trying to get it into my system."
Hunter swiftly chops off the hand infected with anti-OGI toxins.
"Damn, I really wonder when you put those toxins in your mouth, but too bad you're fighting me!"
Hunter regenerates his hand, and with a menacing smile, he surrounds his body with lightning. Hunter flies up to where Wayne is, and instantly Wayne feels his movement speed slow down.
"Shit, it's the malice technique!"
The second Wayne notices he's getting slowed down by the malice technique, Hunter appears in front of him.
"Don't tell me that was your only plan, you level zero!"
Hunter surrounds his hand with lightning and goes in for a punch. Wayne throws up an adaptive ore from his hand, which clashes with Hunter's punch.
"I've trained every day for this day! The day I kill you!" Wayne shouts with a determined expression.
When Hunter's hand clashes with the adaptive ore, the ore cracks and expands, becoming a shield for Wayne.
Once the shield is in front of him, Wayne swiftly moves out of the way with Lex's help and shoots a hole through Hunter's face with his pistol.
"Hahaha! I can't believe you actually landed an attack!"
Hunter turns both of his arms into tentacles with flaming poison talons on the end, then attempts to slap Wayne with them.
Lex instantly pulls Wayne out of his range before the tentacles even form.
"Haha, woah, I didn't expect that you're moving pretty well with the malice technique slowing you down!" Hunter screams as the hole in his head regenerates.
After hearing Hunter's statement, Wayne starts to hear the words George told him long ago when he trained him.
"Remember, Wayne, most OGI users are unpredictable, unlike level zero's, who mostly stick to one pattern of fighting. That's why you must always be aware while fighting an OGI user, especially when you fight a strong OGI user. Pay attention to their movements, and adjust yourself to keep up with any OGI user."
After remembering these words, Wayne flies down to get out of the way of a fireball shot from Hunter's mouth.
"Ever since I failed to protect Pops that day, I've hammered everything George taught me into my soul!"
Hunter flies above Wayne with the accelerate technique and attempts to slam his leg onto his head but gets blocked by adaptive ore.
"Haha, are you that afraid of getting hit by me?"
Hunter applies the flex technique to his legs, then slams both of his feet onto the adaptive ore, breaking it.
"Haha, let's see how you can run away now!" Hunter says with a smirk, but his smile quickly fades once he notices Wayne isn't behind the ore.
"Behind you, bitch!"
Hunter halfway turns around but gets smacked by hot flames from Lex's six snake tails.
"What the hell!" Hunter screams as his flesh burns.
"Every day, Lex and I train our strength! Speed! Awareness! Just so we could be able to fight through your malice technique! All so we could kill you!" Wayne screams with a passionate expression.
"Gaar!"
Lex stops his flame attack, and instantly Wayne rushes in. Wayne slams into Hunter, shoots him twice in the face, and then stabs him in the chest six times. With his onslaught of attacks, Wayne sends Hunter spiraling down to the ground.
"Hahaha, wow, kid, you really did train your ass off to fight me! Good! I love a—"
As Hunter speaks and spits up blood, six metal balls hit the ground around him.
"I don't give a fuck what you love; I want you dead!" Wayne screams with passion in his voice.
When the metal balls hit the ground, green gas fills the air.
"Haha, well, if it isn't anti-OGI toxins in their gas form!"
With him, fully regenerated Hunter stands up, and above him, Wayne floats.
"Do it now, Lex!"
Lex grows his snake tails to 8 feet long and starts spraying large amounts of fire into the anti-OGI toxins.
"Come on, Lex! We must either burn him out or force him to inhale the toxins! That's the only way we can truly beat him by taking away his access to OGI."
"Gaaar!"
Suddenly, Wayne sees Hunter jump out of the toxins.
"Now!"
With Lex's assistance, Wayne bolts toward Hunter.
"Got to get him to inhale those toxins."
"Hey, your name was Wayne, right? Well, let me show you why your plan is pointless."
When Hunter turns around, Wayne sees that Hunter's mouth is covered by webs.
"An Anumath Web!" Wayne screams with a shocked expression.
Hunter weaves out of Wayne's blade attack and, with both arms, slams him into the anti-OGI toxins.
"Shit, I can't beat him like this! I need him to inhale the toxins so he won't come back when I kill him!" Wayne screams as his body bounces off the ground.
With Wayne's body still in the air, Hunter appears and smacks him to the left.
"Oh, you're not getting off that easy!"
Hunter grabs Wayne by the leg and then slams him onto the firm ground with enormous force.
"Come on, Wayne. I thought you said you were going to kill me! I'm not even fighting at full power right now!"
Hunter kicks Wayne so hard that he goes flying out of the toxins.
"My ribs!" Wayne screams with blood flying out of his mouth.
Lex tries to use its wings to slow down Wayne's flying speed, but he struggles with how strong the force behind Hunter's kick is.
"Grrr!"
Wayne and Lex end up both bouncing on the ground multiple times, like a ball, but then Hunter appears behind both of them and catches them.
"Hahaha! Are you alive in there, Wayne?" Hunter asks with a malicious tone.
Wayne tears Lex off of Wayne's back and throws him to the side.
"Grrr," Lex remarks with a weak voice as he passes out.
"Let's see how good you do without your pet!" Hunter exclaims with a menacing tone.
Hunter drops Wayne on his feet, and instantly Wayne starts to stumble.
"Come on, fight me! Or has your so-called father taught you nothing?"
The second Wayne hears those words, he gets an infuriated look in his eyes.
"Don't you dare talk about him!"
Wayne shoots twice at Hunter, but Hunter takes the bullets head-on and uppercuts Wayne, sending blood flying out of his mouth.
"Hahaha!"
Wayne quickly bounces back from the attack and shoves his blade into Hunter's gut.
"Rah!"
Wayne flips sideways and kicks Hunter in the face, then shoots him in the penis while still upside down.
"I see! I'm not scared of low blows! "Good, neither do I!"
The second Wayne lands on his feet Hunter kicks Wayne so hard in the stomach that he feels his spine crack as his body goes into a U shape. Then Hunter grabs him by the hair and slams him onto the ground.
"No, he's starting to get the upper hand!"
When Wayne opens his eyes, covered in blood, he sees Hunter flying down from the sky at full speed.
"What! I have to move!"
Before Wayne can move far, Hunter slams both his knees down into his body, cracking multiple bones.
"Hahaha, come on, get up!"
Hunter picks up Wayne and then surrounds his body with lightning.
"Hahaha, let's go for a ride!" Hunter screams with a malicious smile.
Hunter starts running at top speed, dragging Wayne's back across the destroyed field.
"Ahhhh!"
As Wayne feels his bones crush and the skin on his back tear off, he starts to think.
"I can't take this! Soon, my insides are going to start falling out!"
"Hahaha, don't die on me yet!"
Hunter stops running and lets Wayne's body do a summer salt through the air and fall face flat onto the ground.
"Ahhh!" Wayne screams as his flimsy body hits the ground.
Hunter looks behind him and sees Wayne's blood and some of his skin in a zig-zag line.
"Wow, what art! I bet that babe Nisugi would love this." Hunter remarks with a horney expression.
Hunter looks back at Wayne, who is trying his hardest to get up."
"I thought you said you've been training like hell ever since that day to beat me...."
Hunter uses his foot to flip over Wayne's body so he can see his face.
"Well, you don't look like you've been training hard because I've been holding a lot back just so I don't make the battle end too quickly, but you still ended up in this state. I guess I should've fought with no arms and legs to make it a challenge, hahaha!"
"Fuck you," Wayne struggles to say.
"Oh, and that's what I like about you! You keep fighting with your pointless ambition until it's over! Who taught you how to push so hard? I bet it was your father!"
"No!" Wayne screams.
When Hunter hears Wayne's scream, his smile disappears.
"Geroge was the one who taught me my ambition! He's the one who helped me gain the ability to show my father my undying ambition! Without him, I would be nothing!" Wayne screams with a face full of tears and blood.
"Hmph Hahaha! Well, I bet Geroge is an ambitious man like you!"
"He's the man you murdered, you bastard!" Wayne screams with a face full of hate.
"Oh, wait, he is? Which one? Was his name really Geroge?"
After hearing Hunter's heartless words, all the memories of George started to flood Wayne's mind.
"Damn, I thought you were only upset about the Beast King, but who knew you were also mad about some useless old man?" Hunter says in a mocking tone.
"I'll kill you!" Wayne screams with blood staining his eyes.
Wayne attempts to move, but his body is completely destroyed, causing him to feel too weak.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Wayne keeps screaming, with his voice becoming weaker and weaker.
"Damn kid, get some anger management. You're going to make me too excited. That old man you were just talking about was just a little bug in my way, so I killed him...."
Hunter lifts his left foot and puts it over Wayne's head.
"Just like how I'm going to kill you another bug who believes they can step in my way."
Despite Hunter's foot about to crush his head, Wayne's rage continues to grow."
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! God damn it, I swear I'm going to fucking kill you! Even if you pass, I will go down to hell and kill you! I will hunt you down until you've died by my hand, you son of a bitch!" he screams as his pupils go completely white.
"Damn, you really don't give up until the end! Hahaha, I love it. I'll make sure to remember your name, Wayne!"
Hunter's foot starts to descend toward Wayne's head, with no hope of Wayne being able to escape his fate.
"Kiai!"
Suddenly, Hunter gets kicked away from Wayne before he can crush his head.
"Now what?" Hunter screams.
Hunter looks over to where Wayne is and sees Kai standing in front of his body.
"And who the fuck are you?" Hunter asks with an annoyed expression.
Swiftly Kai puts his right foot positioned slightly outward, with his left foot remaining grounded. His knees become slightly bent. His upper body is relaxed, his right hand goes in front of his face, and his left arm gets tucked next to his stomach.
"My name is Kai, the greatest martial artist in the world, and I've come to put my honor to the test against you feared legend, Hunter!"
