Ken hurriedly pick up a stone and clenched it in his warm grasp. He toss the solid material, aiming at the Akuma's eye.

When it made impact with the creature's eye, it staggered. The fibre around its eye then shut and the Akuma used its hand to cover its eye.

The monster began to whimper in pain and agony. "Agrru! Agruahh!"

The distraction gave Ken a small window. He dashed away from the scene with incredible haste.

His eyes were focused on one target: The dry rotten spears.

"Argghhh!!" The Akuma was finally done with its weeping. It removed its hands from its eye and let out a battle cry with its arms clenched beside his waist.

The creature was visibly angry. It needed no mouth to show its rage. It was simply known by the veins popping out of its face.

The veins became bigger and bigger, to the point that they seem like they were large, yellow blackheads that was just ready to be burst.

Abruptly, the veins of the Akuma burst out of its flesh. A glowing and sticky purple liquid flowed along side the veins.

Once the glowing purple liquid flowed out of that layer of skin, the liquid turned evaporated.

The material or organ that burst out of the Akuma were indeed his veins but the structured and texture of them made it look like roots of a large tree.

The creature began to scan the room, searching for its opponent, what it now took as it rival, rather than its prey.

The sound of the air being pierced fastly approached the Akuma's direction.

It didn't have ears to hear, but it had something to replace that.

It's skin is able to feel the direction and movement of sound. That's because its skin is ultra sensitive to the movement of particles.

To it, whenever sound is being made a chilling sensation points the hairs of it skin to the direction of the location where the sound is being made.

"It seems like you've finally have decided to take me seriously," said Ken while out of sight of the Akuma.

The Akuma roots the grabbed the object that was thrown at it. The object was a weapon; a spear.

"So if that is it.." said Ken.

The Akuma started to feel something moving towards it in a zig-zag pattern.

Eventually the presence of the object became touchable to it.

Ken the continued with his speech, ".. THEN I WON'T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY!! YOU PUNK!"

In his right and left hand was both an individual spear. Ken was charging towards the Akuma.

"You had took me lightly at the beginning of the fight, and you're are now giving it your all?" Ken asked while dashing towards the Akuma. "Don't make me laugh!"

"Since that's the case, I'll take your punk-ass likely to the very end of your life!" Ken exclaimed with no remorse of his words.

Once he was almost in arms-length from the Akuma, he tossed a spear at its knee. It hit and pierced through the back while still being stuck in the flesh and muscle.

This caused the Akuma to let out a painful screech. "GGRRAAAHHHHH!!!"

Taking advantage of this, Ken ran towards the creature. He placed his foot on the handle of the spear, what had thrown at the Akuma's knee, and used it as a stepping? He jumped up to the Akuma's head.

Ken landed on top of the creature's eye. He raised the spear in the air, which was grasped in his hand, and stabbed it into the Akuma's shoulder.

The Akuma cried out in pain once again. "GGGRRAAAHH!"

Ezil phantom body then materialized. He peered down at Ken.

Ezil then started to complain. "You fool! You missed the kill shot!"

"Shut up," said Ken.

[Bottom Floor.]

The people down at the bottom floor erupted in confusion and anger.

A lady, indicated by her voice, said, "Why did he stab that abomination in the shoulder instead of the eye? That would or should be the first thing that comes to mind!"

Another person spoke. He was an old man that seem to pass the age of 60. "Oh, oh, oh~. Youths have a few screws loss, don't they missy?"

"Ugh," the lady scoffed at the old man with disgust and annoyance. "Shut up, you old creep!" She dragged away the chair from the seniors as she said so.

"Aww~. Darling, don't be like that," said the elderly man.

"Eww! Gross!" The lady exclaimed in disgust. "Stop talking to me!"

The senior citizen didn't pay attention to the ladies remarks as his interest was suddenly drafted to somewhere else.

The senior eyes were closely watching the table where the Pong Fang crew were seated.

"Hmmm," he thought aloud.

Over at the Pong Fang's table, Maki was having another tantrum.

"AAHHH!" Maki screamed while enraged. She was pulling out her long hair as she screamed. "This stupid bastard!"

"I knew that mother fucker was crazy! Talking to himself and all. He even missed the KILL! SHHHOT!!" Maki said. She stomped her feet on the floor for her last words.

She picked up one of the many chairs from around the table. Maki lifted it in the air and smashed it on the table.

"Did your parents teach your sister how to behave?" Sean asked in concern.

"No, since she was the beloved one in the family. I can't say the same for me," said Akira. "Even though everyone else was displeased with me, she was different."

"Umm, I don't need a back story in your life," said Sean.

"Hmph!" Akira scoffed.

"What do you think?" Sean asked while nudging his head to the large screen.

"I believe he has his reasons," said Kuwobasa.

[Surveillance Room.]

Trimaine still stood at the side of the seated elder.

While the Gem watched, his smirk got even wider for unknown reasons.

[Top/ First Floor.]

"The reason I didn't hit his eye is because.." said Ken. He pulled out his spear from the Akuma's shoulder.

Purple blood began to drip out of the Akuma's shoulder.

The creature reached out for, who was on top of its eye. But it was too late.

Ken hopped off its eye and landed in the floor.

When he landed, Ken continued with his speech. "... 12 minutes aren't even close to being finish."

"Ehh?" Ezil inquired. "You missed the chance to kill your opponent because of that silly reason?"

Ken was then irritated by Ezil's voice. In annoyance, he gritted his teeth.

"It ain't silly, alright!" Ken exclaimed enraged. "I'm just giving myself a challenge."

"Two challenges?" Ezil asked.

"No, one," said Ken.

He the smirked at his opponent.

The Akuma launched the first attack. It sprang out its roots after Ken.

"Uh-oh!" Ken said. He immediately started to hop backwards.

Hen widen his eyes and opened his mouth, creating a fake shock expression. This was to mock his opponent.

The Akuma's root strike down from above with each root piercing the floor beneath.

The attacks were meaningless though as none of the them hit Ken. He was just continued to dodge the attacks by hopping backwards.

"Haha!" Ken chuckled. "Three minutes has passed already."

Ken head hit the wall behind him. As a result, he massage the back of his head and stopped in his tracks.

"Ouch~!" Ken whined in pain and agony. "Huh?"

Ken looked back to see a wall preventing any further movement backwards.

"Fuck," cursed Ken in distress. "This bullshit!"

A root loomed over Ken's head, with him unaware of its presence.

Ken was the shadow looming over his head by glancing at the floor and she immediately acted.

He dived out the way of the attack. As he did so, the root strike down.

"5 minutes," said Ken mockingly as he got up from off the floor.

He was now ready to attack. He charged forward at the direction of his opponent with his spear ready in hand.

"Here I come, chicken," said Ken while dashing forward.

The Akuma saw Ken's action and quickly retaliate. It pointed out both its arms and small holes began to immerge.

Tiny deformed seeds then popped out of the holes. They the shot out towards Ken's direction at high speeds.

"Huh?" Ken inquired while halting. "What are those?!"

The projectile engulfed Ken's sight, only allowing him to see small portions behind them.

Ken brought forth his spear. As the seeds came closer he readied himself.

With incredible speed, all the seeds that would have hit him were sliced up into bits. The ones he cut fell to the ground, while the other crashed into the floor behind him.

"7 minutes," said Ken quietly.

The ground behind him began to crack. Many large vines popped out from beneath the floor.

"Eh?" Ken said nonchalantly with a sweat drop running down his face. "8.. minutes.."

The vines on the right bundled up together creating a large vine, and the ones on the left followed.

The two vines grabbed on to Ken's hands, bounding him in place.

Seizing the opportunity, the Akuma charged forward. With great speed, he reached Ken in only 3 seconds.

While Ken was trapped he said, "Fu-"

The Akuma gave Ken a mighty punch to Ken's gut, cutting off his words. The area around them started to crack in webs.

Ken grout out in agony and started to cough out blood. "Argh! Cough, Cough!"

He raised his head to look at the entity's face, and let out a smile. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth as he smiled.

"9 minutes left, asshole," said Ken.

He tossed the spear into the air with his bounded hand. The spear fell down and stabbed the Akuma's right arm, which it used to punch Ken.

Ken twisted his head to the left and grabbed the spear with his teeth. He pulled it out and twisted his head to the right which cut the vines of his left hand.

He let go of the spear from his mouth and caught it with his left hand. Ken uses his free hand to slice off the Akuma's arm and free his other hand.

He hopped back and wiped the blood of his mouth.

"10 minutes," said Ken. "2 minutes left to your pathetic life."

Ken grasped his false weapon in his hand and tossed it forth. It dashed towards the Akuma while piercing the air.

When it reached the Akuma, it swiftly deflected tf projectile. It slapped away the spear, destroying the spear completely with its left hand, which was not cut off.

It turned its attention back towards Ken. It saw him dashing towards it like a professional track star.

It pointed out its hand at Ken and fired the deformed seeds at him.

Ken seeing the projectiles jumped into the air, dodging all of them in the process.

While in the air, he whispered the passing time. "11 minutes."

He landed on the Akuma's shoulder. He placed his right foot on its left shoulder and his left foot on its right shoulder.

He pulled back his hand, foreshadowing the fatal hit. He harden his right hand and stored all his energy in that fist.

Ken's hand released a dark aura what was outlined with a bluish-green glow, which was the same as Ezil's body colour.

"I don't need a weapon to win this," said Ken. "I just need my fist to win this whole tournament!"

"Your life is limited!" Ken exclaimed.

The Akuma in this whole fight felt like its time to life was to soon to come to its last pages.

Ken strike the Akuma's eye with a mighty punch. It destroyed the Akuma's eyes entirely, killing it once and for all!

It fell to the floor with a loud thud.

Ken pulled out a organ from inside the creature's eye socket. It was a heart shaped organ that had the texture of a brain.

He started at the organ with a darken face and red glowing eyes, and said, "I win.."

"Hope you enjoy you days in hell..."
