Chapter 17 - A Glimpse of Shadow

Ashur and negyro continued to assault each other. Popping up here and there and disappearing just as quickly leaving behind nothing but a Shockwave. "It seems your starting to tired my friend." Negyro started to poke at ashur whose shroud of energy seem to start to shrink. Ashur simply smirked. "You notice such a slight change. Well then I guess there was no point trying to be sneaky." After another clash he made distance between them. The energy he was ingulfed in surged like a open flame. Then suddenly it burst outward. Growing 4 times in size. Ashur raised his arms over his head, palms open. They started to cross them while moving down center slowly closing his fists. As he did so all the energy around him started to shrink again. This time more rapidly. By the time his arms made an "x" infront his chest with closed fists all the blue-ish energy was gone except for his glowing eyes. When he took his stance the ground seem to Crack underneath him from his presence alone. "Focusing all that leaking power internally I see. Let's see what happens now." Negyro ready his own stance again. Ashur wasted no time and shot forward breaking the ground further as he did. In an instant landed a clean right on negyro chin. From his point of view everything had slowed. Just and his fist left contact with his friend face the other was millimeters away. A quick 8 punch combo was delivered ina fraction of a second before ashur moved back. Negyro had only noticed him turn into a blurr then appear again a couple ft infront of him."What was that." Raising a brow at Ashur he was confused by his choice of action. Was that not an attack?...was he testing his speed since it had been so long for him? Deciding it did t really matter he was an instant from making his next move when sudden some force from nowhere smashed him in the face followed by similar impacts around his face and torso. His body was as confused as he was. Ashur had embed every fiber of his being with his power pushing his physical attributes close to there maximum. Since all the power was internalized the only time it escaped was with an attack. Adding a layer of destructive force behind Ashurs already devastating fists. It was as if Negyro entire being had been ram into by an exploding star. "I see now. You have fought God's before havnt you." Ashur Qasim stunned by his question. "Yeah. I guess. That's what a couple guys called themselves. I had to learn this technique on the fly a fee decades ago when I was fighting this shadow thing. Using the very fire of my being attuned with my body and soul I can use attacks that can be devastating to beings of cosmic origins. The impact force rattles then down to the core. Still I won those fight but I didn't consider them wins. Those fuckers are still walking around and I couldn't even leave a good scar to remember me by." Scowling as he remember on of the handful of losses he experienced. "But once I got it down it shot me up league's in terms of power so I showed to Alana. She picked it up faster then I did. There are other stages and levels but eventually you will see them. For now it's been a while since I could use this much power without killing someone. Let's keep going." Negyro nodded and generated a dozen balls of enery around him. The aura around him surged and his eyes glowed there own mysterious purple now. "I hope you don't mind if I follow suit. I'd like to push things a little." Alana got the sense she should turn up the settings again. As she did she also widen there training area to 5 kilometers. The boys took there stance and there environment seem to stretch and grow. While also patching a lot of the craters and wholes. In mere moments the rocky terrain was back to normal and a few new mountains could be seen in the distance. "Hey Negyro, I'm gonna put almost all I have into this next attack. If you end up on your back again you owe me a favor, deal?" Negyros ears perked at the sound of this wager."Ahh, yes. That's sounds fun. I'll do the same. It feels as thought we are pretty evenly match at the moment tho I'd hate to have this backfire on you." Ashur chucked and cooked back fist. With a low growl he focused on his energy and strength in one fist. Negyro's approach was the same. Focusing the energy and power available into one fist. The air shimmer around the two of them. The grounds started to once again give way under the sheer pressure of twos power. Cracks slowly started to jet out from beneath the two power houses. Ashur found himself smiling wildly. He spent so much time harnessing and honing his power and strength to a point where now it was rare for him to actually use half of it. The idea of finding someone who could push him farther. The realization that his ambitions were far from over gave way to his to current expression. Negyro was within similar thoughts.' To think another would come so soon. I wish you to could have met.' An image of a young strong looking man with brown hair, light caramel skin, and a red eyes came into his mind. 'Anteros, he would've mopped the floor with you old friend. No doubt Ashur is even stronger then you were towards the end. How exciting." Alana was inches away from falling out of her chair. Her nose almost passing through the holo-screen she was looking at. "Holy shit I havnt seen Ashur use this since the last war." Tho the move she was imagining was the right one the version Ashur was about to display was and evolved one. Far more focused and deadly then before. Both boys took a deep breathe and made there moved. Ashur and negyro moved faster the the eye could see. One second there were a football field or two's distance from each the next they had met in the middle both fists inches away from the other. There clash now was beyond all from before. The two were suspended in air within a constant storm of Shockwaves and lightning. The ground had cratered for a mile and was slowly growing in size. Neither was giving in. Both boys tried to push harder. Ashur growled loudly and pushed one final time. At the same time so did negyro. There fist inched a tad bit closer. Suddenly the tiny space between there fists warped. Negyro noticed first."uh oh." But he was too slow. The next moment the space combusted and the atoms between there fist burst. Alana eyes widens as an alarm went off.'sensors pickin up surge beyond perameters system assessing and ajusting'. With a flash of light and an explosion the size of multiple nuked cane from nothing. The environment seemed to glitch in an out and space was warping around the two ment who were currently flying in opposite direction and incredible speeds. Both hit the rocky mountains behinds them shattering both as they start falling straight down After. The system seem to shut down moments later and the two men landed hard on the now metal floor a few feet from each other. Alana came bursting into the room with a first aid kit. "Well at least your dumb ass didn't break the room again." She found herself looking back forth between Ashur and negyro not sure who to check on first. Suddenly she remembered the kind of being negyro was and headed to Ashur side. She looked over negyro. His face had a few burns and so did his upper body. He was bruised and bloody but breathing normal. Taking a look at his right hand it was clear it was broken it more then one place was was still smoking. She decided to start there. Gently picking up his arm she started spraying the antibacterial and numbing spray and wrapped it tight. The medical bays machine would make quick work in healing the actual fractures and more internal injuries. For now she was just cleaning him up a bit so he wouldn't ditty the machine with too much blood. Negyro started to stir and grown a couple minutes later. "Well, I say it was a draw. Ha ha, wow. That was exilerating." Negyro stood up and allowed his garments to begin repairing themselves. Had Ashur been conscious he would have been happy to know that he was the only one with cuts and bruises at the end of this. And even more happy to see the comparison of there arms. Alana look up and negyro and accidently let out a small yelp. Raising his brow at her, he took notice of the weight different from his left to right. I

His right side felt some what lighter. He let out a surprised 'huh' at the sight of everything below his right elbow being gone. "Well, look like you win again Ashur." Even though he hadn't heard a word of it. Ashur suddenly smiled like he had.
