Shiro lay kneeling, as normal people who walked the streets watched the events in confusion. Some people backed away while others approached Shiro while offering him help. But he ignored them, instead focusing on the clothes that lay in his arms.
Shiro began to panic as tears fell from his face. He remembered all those news reports on the missing people leaving behind only their clothing after disappearing. Putting two and two together he shouted at Kyobi, "WHY? WHY DID YOU DO THIS? YOU WERE SO NICE TO ME AND EIKO, YET YOU FREELY DO THIS TO OTHER PEOPLE??"
Kyobis' face slowly turned more serious as he replied, "Do you remember what I told before Shiro? About the power of gravity? I told you that gravity can bring two people together, and it's also that gravity that controls fate. I believe that the bonds forged by fate can produce its own gravity, and in consequence, it can control fate. I want to forge as many bonds as I can, and in consequence, I will become free from that which binds others. A sort of god if you will."
"AND YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THAT THROUGH KILLING??", Shiro shouted as he was still in a daze.
Kyobi quickly responded, "The most powerful emotion that a human can produce is one of love. Im just simply forming that bond of love with every human that I like. If the bond doesn't work then I throw them away. I can even show you my girlfriend if you like?"
He then reached into the left pocket of his white lab coat and pulled out a skinned face. He began to rub his face on it intensely while licking it as he said, "This is my Aoi-chan. We only met a couple of nights ago, but I feel like our bond is so powerful already. I can feel that I draw closer every day to becoming a god! I have had so many girlfriends before but I'm sure now that the love between us, and these psychic powers of mine will surely be enough to break fate."
It was at that moment Shiro realized that the Doctor Kyobi he knew was a facade. A mask to hide the insane person that stood before him. His face which expressed only horror slowly reverted to its usual self as he accepted the truth in front of him.
Shiro dropped the clothes while slowly approaching Kyobi he said, "I'll beat the crude out of you. And then you can answer to the law."
Kyobi was a qualified doctor and a surgeon, so with his keen eye, he quickly analysed Shiros' condition. "The way he walks remains the same even after that enhanced kick which I delivered to him. So his trait was regeneration. Then I'll just have to blow his head off."
Kyobi then dashed towards Shiro while he waited for him raising his guard. Shiro understood that if he came to attack him in person then Kyobi must have been an Enhancer user, as opposed to an emitter.
"I'll destroy his arm, and then his head!", Kyobi thought.
He eagerly reached out, expecting to grab onto Shiros' arm, but instead received a powerful right hook to his face, sending him flying into a parked car. This caused some of the watching public, to pull out their phones and record while others screamed and ran away.
Kyobi grabbed onto his bleeding face thinking, "I underestimated him. Asclepius told me that he was training under Weatherman. I should have known better!"
As Shiro slowly approached Kyobi, he grabbed and ripped away the car door and threw it at Shiro who caught it easily. The second he caught it, however, it suddenly exploded making Shiro fly further down the street over the crowd that gathered. They started to run as someone screamed, "THEY HAVE BOMBS!"
When the dust cleared, Shiro slowly regenerated both of his arms which were blown off, however, he remained blind in his left eye.
Kyobi then said, "I know about your regeneration so it's only fair that I tell you mine. My psychic trait is Fragokineses. It allows me to turn anything I touch into 2 different types of bombs. The first bomb is a silent type that only exclusively destroys anything that's touched, while the second bomb is more explosive and is as powerful as a rocket launcher."
Shiro shouted at him, "I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY."
He charged at Kyobi who now remained on defence, seeing that the two were close-range fighters he intended to turn Shiro into a bomb. Shiro made a great leap into the air before falling next to Kyobi who barely dodged. He quickly reached out to grab Shiros' wrist which he successfully did, but then at the same time, Shiro kicked him in the stomach and then the side of the head.
Kyobi shouted, "I'VE WON SHIRO. I'LL BLOW YOU UP!"
Yet there was no explosion.
Shiro then grabbed the car from earlier and rammed it into Kyobi sending him a good distance back. Kyobi shouted, "WHY? WHY DIDN'T YOU EXPLODE??"
Shiro quickly ran up to Kyobi ignoring his question, however he figured out the answer anyway. Shiro used outer enhancement to cover his touched skin with psychic energy preventing Kyobi from actually making contact with him. Thus not being turned into a bomb.
Kyobi quickly slammed his hands into the ground, causing the area surrounding him to explode. This halts and blinds Shiro a little, however, he quickly realises that this is his silent-type bomb.
That was when a random civilian who struggled to escape gets thrown at him from the dust cloud. Shiro quickly caught her but Kyobi whispered, "Boom."
The woman exploded destroying both of Shiros' arms as well as parts of his torso, causing blood to spill out of him. This didn't stop him from charging towards Kyobi.
He quickly managed to regenerate his right arm, which clashed against Kyobis' left. Kyobi then pulled Shiro closer towards him before swinging a right jab into his face. Shiro then grew back his left arm as well as his lost vision and quickly caught a right kick that Kyobi swung at him.
He then threw Kyobi into a nearby store, through its window, causing the civilians taking shelter nearby to panic.
As Shiro jumped in, multiple of the shattered glass fragments exploded causing the entire building to collapse in on itself, crushing him and anyone else unfortunate enough to still be inside.
Precisely one minute later, Shiro emerged from the rubble only to be met with Kyobi who was waiting for him at the top.
He then said, "I've never caused explosions like these as often as I have so I've nearly depleted my psychic power. You have much less psychic power than me so you must also be quite exhausted right?"
Shiro didn't want to admit it, but he was right. He was completely exhausted and even though he had been using inner enhancement, the regeneration drained almost all of his power.
"So you want to chit-chat? I won't settle until I've won this fight.", Shiro said coldly.
Kyboi scoffed as he replied, "You're one determined kid. You've changed a lot since I destroyed that hospital. I killed all those people in front of you, but you didn't even flinch a little. You say you want me punished in front of the law, but I can see it in your eyes, you're a killer just like me."
Shiro then asked, "Ikumi the butcherer said that too. I haven't killed anyone before yet you guys say that I have those eyes. What do you mean?"
"You can't get those eyes by just killing one or two people. A great number of lives need to be taken, even their blood needs to touch your fingers for those eyes to develop. They are a sign that God has forsaken you. A kind of curse one could say. But it seems like the potential locked behind them is sealed. Perhaps because of your memory loss?"
Shiro began to shiver as he thought about the number of possible deaths he could have caused. "So are you saying that I might have been a serial killer? Are you saying I'm no different from Ikumi?"
Kyobi shrugged as he said, "Probably. I can help revive those eyes though."
He buried his hand in the right pocket of his lab coat and then pulled out a phone with a rabbit key chain attached to it. He quickly tossed it to Shiro while smirking to himself. "Do you recognise that Shiro?"
A short memory flashed through his mind of a Eikos' phone lying in the sand with 119 dialled onto it. Similarly, it also had a rabbit key chain attached to it. Shiros' eyes slowly turned dark as a menacing shadow began to hang over him. He asked in a calm yet furious voice,
"Where did you get this."
Kyobi responded while giggling, "I found this on a companion of mine that I unfortunately had to kill. He failed his mission to kill Eiko so I had to take him out for Asclepius. When I did though I found this phone on him."
Shiro breathed a sigh of relief thinking that the worst had not yet occurred. But Kyobis' next words turned on a switch inside of him.
"That was after I killed Eiko of course. I did it right outside your door to-"
A fist slammed into his face stopping him from finishing his sentence. It pushed him a great distance back while forcing him onto one knee. As Kyobi recovered he saw that Shiro was no longer the same boy from before. He now radiated an aura of pure malice that scared even him. Only one sentence could be heard now muttering from Shiros' mouth as tears fell from his eyes.
"I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'LL KILL YOU. I WILL KILL YOU KYOBI!"
He dashed towards Kyobi at a speed that not even he could comprehend any longer. Shiro threw a right jab at his ribcage, shattering through Kyobis' defence while temporarily knocking him out. He then threw a barrage of punches that Kyobi had no choice but to tank, causing severe internal bleeding as well as breaking many of his bones.
Shiro then picked up Kyobi by the neck before quickly slamming him into the ground creating a garden-sized hole in the earth. He sent a flurry of fists flying into Kyobi making the crater in the earth even larger as Kyobi continued to cough out blood.
Once Shiro finally calmed down he stood over the beaten and destroyed body of Kyobi, which drowned in a pool of blood. It was seemingly mangled and even if he did somehow survive it would be in an unusable state.
Shiro turned around and tried to walk back towards the cathedral, however, his body gave out on him, and he fell onto the ground on one knee.
As he struggled to breathe he cried out, "Eiko... I'm so sorry."
He felt the palm of a cold hand press against the back of his head clenching it tightly. But he didn't even have enough strength left to breathe.
The completely unharmed Kyobi then said, "Im so glad that I accepted that artefact from Asclepius. It allows me to make only one perfect clone of myself that can be swapped out at any time. It has a one-time use, but I'm glad it was against you. If that was me who took that beating then I would have died. It seems like the love between me and Aoi-chan was stronger than yours and Eikos'"
Shiro weakly raised his arm in an attempt to fight back but they immediately fell to the floor.
Kyobi then said, "I can kill you now. You don't even have enough strength to raise your arms, nevertheless, regenerate. This is the end for you Shiro. Goodbye."
A small but powerful explosion erupted from Shiro's head, causing it to blow up instantly killing him. And then the rest of his body followed suit, erasing every trace of him except his clothes.
As Shiros' tuxedo slowly drifted to the ground, Kyobi sighed while scratching the back of his head.
He then said exhaustingly, "I'm gonna go check up on that guy. Once we're done I think I'm gonna make sweet love with you Aoi-chan."
