"You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it."

The rain poured steadily, soaking Zack's hoodie as he stood across from Gun, their gazes locked in silent tension. The city streets around them were empty, the quiet broken only by the sound of raindrops hitting the pavement. The familiar figure in the sleek black suit stood calmly, his iconic sunglasses now missing revealing Gun's cold, black eyes. The world seemed to slow, the air thick with tension as they both sized each other up.
Zack wasted no time. He exploded forward with his speed mastery, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye. His fist aimed for Gun's ribs with precise, deadly force. Gun blocked it just in time, but the sheer speed of Zack's movements had his feet sliding back on the wet pavement. Gun's eyes flickered with surprise, though he said nothing.
Zack didn't let up. He transitioned into a series of rapid punches and kicks, switching between his speed and endurance mastery with near-flawless execution. His fists blurred as they rained down on Gun, each hit calculated, aiming for Gun's vulnerable spots. The force of each blow sent shockwaves through the air, cracks forming in the concrete beneath their feet.
Gun countered with his own brutal strikes, his movements fluid yet vicious. His fists slammed into Zack's sides, but Zack barely flinched, his body hard as steel. The rain intensified, as if reflecting the intensity of the battle between the two powerhouses.
"You're fast," Gun said with a grin, dodging one of Zack's high kicks with ease before delivering a crushing elbow to Zack's shoulder. The hit sent Zack stumbling back slightly, but he recovered almost instantly, his eyes burning with conviction.
Zack darted in again, this time switching to his speed mastery, circling around Gun in a blur of motion. He struck Gun's back with a powerful kick, sending him crashing through a streetlight, the pole collapsing with a loud crack. The ground shook beneath them as debris scattered across the street. But even as Gun hit the ground, he was already moving, rolling to his feet, his grin never faltering.
"Impressive," Gun muttered, wiping a trickle of blood from his lip. "But let's see how long you can keep up."
In an instant, Gun was back on his feet, and the atmosphere around him shifted. The playful demeanor was gone, replaced by something far more dangerous. He came at Zack with a ferocity that made the air around them tremble. His punches were no longer tests or feints; they were devastating, bone-crushing strikes. Each blow carried the weight of his full strength, aimed to incapacitate.
Zack ducked under a right hook, countering with a quick jab to Gun's ribs, but Gun barely reacted. His body seemed to absorb the impact like it was nothing. In return, Gun sent a devastating uppercut toward Zack's chin.
BOOM.
Zack staggered back, blood dripping from his mouth, but he shook it off, his eyes still blazing with the will to fight. He switched his stance, his feet dancing lightly as he activated his speed mastery once more. The two fighters moved so quickly that they became a blur, their strikes colliding in the center of the street with enough force to send cracks splintering through the concrete.
Gun's eyes gleamed with sadistic excitement as Zack landed a powerful blow to his jaw, sending Gun reeling back. "You're strong," Gun admitted, wiping the blood from his mouth again, his grin widening. "But it's not enough."
His eyes gained a red hue as his legs burst into an impressive show of strength and without warning, Gun unleashed a series of rapid-fire punches, his fists crashing into Zack's torso like battering rams. The force of the blows sent Zack skidding backward, his feet digging into the concrete to keep himself upright.
Gun showed his strength mastery!
Zack, despite the pain, pressed forward. He used his endurance mastery to tank the hits, pushing through the pain as he closed the distance once more. With a surge of strength, Zack delivered a powerful punch to Gun's midsection, followed by a kick to the chest that sent Gun crashing into a nearby storefront, shattering the glass.
For a moment, the street was silent, the rain continuing to pour down around them. Zack stood still, his breathing heavy but controlled, watching as Gun slowly stood up from the wreckage. Despite the damage, Gun's smile remained, twisted and unrelenting.
"Not bad," Gun said, stepping out of the shattered storefront, his suit torn and blood trickling down his face. "But you're still holding back. You think you can beat me by playing it safe?"
Zack's jaw clenched. "I'm not holding back."
Gun's laughter echoed through the rain-soaked street. "Then show me what you've got, Zack. Show me if you've really become strong enough to stand against me."
The two fighters clashed again, their strikes even more intense than before. Zack's fists moved like lightning, his speed mastery pushing his body to its limits as he weaved around Gun's relentless attacks. Each punch, each kick, was filled with the power and skill he had honed over the last months.
But Gun was no ordinary opponent. He countered with a ferocity that countered Zack's speed, his fists crashing into Zack's defenses with enough power to shatter concrete. The ground beneath them cracked and crumbled as their fight tore through the streets, the buildings around them shaking from the sheer force of their blows.
And yet, despite the damage, neither of them showed any sign of slowing down.
Gun swung a devastating hook toward Zack's head, but Zack ducked at the last second, delivering a powerful uppercut that sent Gun flying into the air. Gun crashed into a nearby car, the vehicle crumpling under the impact. But even as the dust settled, Gun stood once more, his sadistic grin never fading.
"You're better than I thought, Zack," Gun said, his voice dripping with dark amusement. "But this is far from over."
The fight was far from over, and the two men stood at the center of the storm, their battle shaking the very foundation of the neighborhood around them.
