Chapter 23 - CHAOS OF THE NIGHT 2

In a large dark room a group of people on black uniform, were seated in front of glowing screens. Their faces are lit by flickering lights of the screen, their eyes fixed on the actions and events playing out before them.

Is actually a live stream or feed of almost every part of the Island Five and the others were dropped.

Behind them were two men with deep auras standing, Black Zero and Blue Zero.

Right now their eyes were focused on the screens displaying the fight inside the cave and outside the cave where Five and the other's were fighting.

Black Zero who was instructed by White to keep an eye on Five, was totally intrigued and had all his focus on the fight. At first when he was given the instruction to watch Five, he didn't really see what's so special about the boy. He didn't think he displayed any awesome skill or anything.

But now seeing him holding his own against a super strength Neo, his view of Five changed, his eyes now reflected a glint of interest in him, 'now this douchebags will take us serious' he thought in his mind.

Blue Zero on the other hand had a look of surprise in his eyes, before this little exercise, all the data of all Neos were submitted to him and he knew how powerful and strong Eighty was, but now seeing an ordinary Expendable giving her a hard time wasn't something he could have ever imagined.

Even if she was still young and lacked real life combat experience, this fight shouldn't have been that difficult for her. He still didn't lose faith though and knew it was only a matter of time before she eliminates him.

Inside PAX, it wasn't really a secret that all the Black Zeros and Blue Zeros had an unsanctioned competition going all between between them.

With the Blue Zeros rubbing it on Black Zeros that the Neos were far better, stronger and had a higher percentage of missions success rate.

Black Zeros refuted that, but the results weren't always in their favor, so they could only refute with their mouths but had no evidence backing them.

The Black Zero watching the live feed of the fight now, was indirectly rooting for Five to defeat Eighty.

As Forty Four slapped the grenade away, a kick to the chest by Forty one sent him falling down a little distance behind. He got back up and looked at Forty One and he noticed a green light surrounding her left hand which she broke.

As the light shone he could hear the bones in the hand crackling and snapping back into position, once it had been fully restored back she took a deep breath and took a fighting stance.

With a sigh escaping his lips,"Whatever happens now is on you, cause I'm not gonna hold back" Forty Four warned as he attacked and throws a punch,but she blocks it and counters with a kick.

Forty Four stumbles back and Forty One presses her advantage throwing a flurry of blows, which he struggles to keep up. He suddenly ducks under a punch and wraps his arms around her, trying to pin her down, but she managed to break free and landed a solid punch to his jaw.

Forty Four falls to the ground dazed. As he lied there trying to shake off the effects of the blow, Forty One studied him, assessing her next move.

Just then Forty Four springs to his feet, his eyes blazing with determination. Forty One was caught off guard and he took advantage of it by throwing a kick that catches her in the ribs.

She doubled over in pain, Forty Four grabbed her and threw her to the nearest tree and she hit it squarely and fell down with pain resonating in her body.

Inside the cave, Five and Eighty started trading blows again, this time around the fight moves deeper into the cave. Eighty's fists slam into the rocky walls of the cave, sending dust and debris flying in the air.

Five ducks and weaves, barely avoiding her attacks. Suddenly, she grabbed him by the arm and throws him with all her might towards the entrance of the cave.

Five was propelled out of the cave like a rag doll, flying through the air and landing hard on the ground outside. Eighty follows, emerging from the cave and finding Five dazed and disoriented, due to the moon shining and giving clear visibility she was able to see sister and finds her in a similar situation close to a tree.

She immediately ran to her, "Don't worry I'm ok" Forty One assured her and started using her healing powers on herself, soon she was fit again as she slowly stood up with the help of her sister.

Meanwhile Forty Four checked up on Five who was lying in the ground in pains, slowly he was able to stand up and they both backed up a little while looking at the sisters who were also looking at them.

This was it, two friends against two sisters, knowing fully well not all of them will finish the task tomorrow.

Forty Four and Eighty face off, their eyes locked on each other. He looks at her and gave off a mischievous grin. Suddenly his body suddenly changes into her's, she takes a step back a little surprised before he recollects that his ability seem to be metamorphosis.

She shakes off the surprise, determined to teach him a lesson for putting her sister in such state, at least by breaking one of his legs.

Five looks at Forty One who by now is back in top shape and prepares himself.

Suddenly a wolf howl was heard in a distance not far away, as if it was a declaration to start fighting, Eighty charges at Forty Four who now looked like her, but he easily blocked her mighty punch which surprised her cause now she now confirmed her doubts that since he changed into her he probably has her strength too.

Forty Four grins and lunges at her, but she is fast and nibble and was able to dodge his attack.

Five sees an opening and lunges at Forty One, but she's ready for him and she slams her foot into his stomach, he doubles over, gasping for breath as blood trickled from his mouth to the ground. He was still in a bad shape after the fight against Eighty and he hasn't had the chance to recover, facing off against Forty One, who had restored her fitness back to the peak it was going to be an almost impossible fight to win.

Meanwhile Forty Four is still trying to land a hit on Eighty, but she keeps dodging his blows, as if she can read his mind, which made him frustrated, but he won't give up.

He changes tactics and pulled out the pistol which he had been given as a weapon before the task, he pulled the trigger. But Eighty just covered her face with her arms and tensed her muscles and the air soft bullets simply bounced off her.

She checked her emblem and it was still on white showing that she was still very much alive.

The gun being rendered useless now, Forty Four threw it away and broke a large part of a tree close to him and swings it at her, but Eighty simply blocks it with her arm. The impact sends a shockwave through the air, sending leaves and dust flying. Even the tree part broke into various pieces.
