Chapter 52 - Don't stop now!

[several minutes prior]

The brush rushes past them as they carve through the thick forest towards the massive gate.

"Alot bigger than I remember!" Cani chuckles.

"Exactly-" a massive explosion erupts in front of them. Cani steps back as the ground shakes and trees crumble to the ground.

"Keep going! We can't let Yuma's battle stop ours!" Cani steps forward. The next thing she knew, she flew through hundreds of trees behind them. Boombox turning around.

"Cani!" Boombox turns back as a massive shadow looms over him. Suddenly Boombox hits a rock and then the ground. Violently coughing blood as his arm is torn inside out. Boombox looking up.

"Good thing I blocked that, I woulda been dead! Admiral Bru's here!" Boombox coughs and rushes to his feet. 

"No time for talking" an aura of rage pours off Admiral Bru. still walking around in medical gear. Bru slams his foot into the ground and thrusts his fist. Bmbox grits his teeth and disappears. Bru was shocked.

"What the-" in a split second Bru is covered in deep slashes across his chest. Using his arm to stop from coughing blood. 'How's he moving so fast!? I can't see him!" Bru stomps the ground and swings his fist. Slamming Boombox into some trees. Boombox slides and pulls out a gun. Pointing it at Bru.

"Guns won't work on me!" Boombox runs straight towards Bru. shooting the pistol several times as Bru dodges them. An ax coming from the sky. 'He threw an ax when I wasn't looking and then pulled the gun as a distraction!' Bru dodges the ax and goes to kick Boombox as he's suddenly nowhere to be seen. Suddenly getting kicked from behind. 'two layered distraction!?' Bru grabs Boombox by the face and slamming him into the ground. Reeling his fist back and punching Boombox into the ground. Creating multiple craters. Boombox's eyes go white. 'Such… strong… punches…' Boombox coughs blood and zips away. Bru breathing heavily. Boombox hiding behind some trees.

"If I don't stop moving then he can keep up, but moving at this speed is too taxing, I just need to adapt!" Boombox runs from the trees at Bru. throwing several blends. Bru knocked them away and thrust his fist. Boombox exhales and ducks under the first punch, then jumping over the next kick. Bru grits his teeth 'He's reading me!' Bru grits his teeth.

"GRAAAAAAAHH!!" Boombox jumps back as the ground shakes. Boombox quickly jumped forward. Jumping over the first punch and then ducking under the next, before getting kicked into the ground, Bru then slamming his foot on Boombox's back. 'What just happened-' Bru stumbles back as Boombox takes the chance and jumps back. 'Now's my chance!' Boombox suddenly becomes blue, bolting around the battlefield, Bru struggling to follow.

"Sonic Battle Cry!" Boombox appears and jabs his dagger into Bru's chest.

Iteyi stands at the gate to the dark market, run by Admiral Bru through an underground scheme.

Bru's eyes go white as he hits the ground. Boombox falling to the ground as well.

"My arm's shattered… my whole chest and back hurt… man… he was strong… I'm lucky I had the weakest of the Admirals…" Boombox huffs and puffs as he rises to his knees, then his feet.

"I better go help Cani in her fight against Loe…" Boombox huffs and puffs as he walks into the trees.

Shockwaves echoed as Yuma slid backwards. Bolting to the right to dodge a punch. Trees shattering. Yuma weaving through the debris. Sliding his heel into the dirt and thrusting his fist at Moon. Moon grits his teeth as the air gets dense, a massive shockwave echoing as Moon grinds his feet through the dirt to stop flying.

"What the-" Moon stops and looks up, Yuma wobbling around a bit. His pink hair begins to float. His eyes begin glowing purple and then red as a shockwave echoes. Moon grabbing the ground to stop sliding.

"What kinda power-" in a split second Yuma appears in front of Admiral Moon. His face covered by a dark shadow, his eyes glowing red as he smirks. His pink hair floats behind him. Speed blitzing Moon with a punch, sending tumbling through trees, shockwaves echo, Moon sliding on the ground as trees fall. Moon breathing heavily.

"Fine then… Have it your way Alien King" Smoke rises from around Moon as he rises to his feet. Yuma jumps forward face engulfed in shadows.

"Not this time!" Moon parries the first punch, delivering a knee to Yuma's stomach. Yuma flying backwards through some trees, sliding on his feet. Moon smirks.

"Time Mantra: Reset!" Yuma reappears in front of Moon as he was a second ago. Moon delivers a strong right punch to Yuma's gut, then another to Yuma's face.

Yuma slams through some rocks and trees as they collapse around him. Smoke rising from the ground as Yuma stands.

Moon's eyes narrowed as he walked slowly through the smoke. His pupils constrict like cats. A strange, pulsating, white energy began to rise from his fists and shoulders. A hum of a thousand engines as his teeth grow sharp like sharks. His voice was deep and reverberating through the burning forest.

"Time Mantra, 100% awakening" Moon clenches his fist as white stripes form across his whole upper body. His short brown hair growing long and white. The air around Moon seemed to distort, as if time itself was bending to his will. Yuma rising to his feet.

"Now the real fight begins" Yuma's hair stood up. He could feel the fabric of time shrinking and stretching. Moon's eyes were burning with a white crystalline energy, as they locked onto Yuma.

"You should've surrendered when you had the chance, Alien King: Yuma" Moon clenched his fist. Yuma grits his teeth as memories of Nyct flash through his mind.

"This is for you… Nyct" Yuma hopped on his toes. Stopping and taking a deep exhale.

Yuma appears in front of Moon.
