The atmosphere thickened as Daniel and Gun stood facing each other, the streets now eerily silent. The rest of the Allied Crew had backed away, realizing the intensity of what was about to unfold. The air between them crackled with power as Daniel's eyes locked onto Gun's spectral green glow.
Their height just slightly different.
Gun, now fully under the sway of his Unconscious Ultra Instinct (UUI or TUI, Boh.), moved like a force of nature. His body, stripped of all conscious restraint, reacted purely on instinct. His movements were erratic yet seamless, like a wild beast that had merged with a machine.
No thought, no emotion, just raw survival, a perfect blend of speed and power. Every muscle in his body was taut, and his expression, now devoid of his usual sadistic grin, was blank, but his aura radiated lethal intent.
Daniel shifted his stance, sliding into a low, balanced position. He could feel it, Gun wasn't fighting with his usual calculated malice; this was something more primal.
But Daniel was ready. His own mastery of Ultra Instinct, perfectly controlled, put him at an advantage. His black sclera and ghostly white irises glowed faintly as he activated Void Rend, perceiving everything within his radius, the way Gun's breath flowed, the subtle shifts in the wind, the vibrations in the pavement beneath his feet.
But Gun didn't hesitate.
Without warning, Gun exploded into motion, his fist cutting through the air toward Daniel's face. It was faster than anyone had seen before, an almost inhuman speed. But Daniel was faster. He weaved to the side, his body moving like water as he slipped past Gun's strike.
BAM!
Gun's fist collided with a nearby building, instantly shattering the concrete and sending a shockwave through the block. The structure buckled and collapsed, a cloud of dust rising into the air. Daniel didn't have time to admire the destruction. Gun's body twisted in mid-air, launching a brutal kick toward his chest.
Daniel raised his arm, blocking the blow with a Muay Thai guard, absorbing the impact with precision. The force rattled through him, but he stayed grounded. Using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Daniel grabbed Gun's leg, flipping him over with a perfect hip throw, slamming him into the ground. The concrete cratered beneath Gun's body, but even that didn't stop him.
Gun rolled instantly to his feet, a sharp elbow aimed at Daniel's head.
Daniel ducked, countering with a Wing Chun palm strike to Gun's ribs. But Gun's body, now a weapon of instinct, twisted to avoid the blow, his movements so erratic that Daniel had to adjust his own strategy. Daniel shifted to Kyokushin Karate, stepping into Gun's space with a devastating knee strike to the abdomen.
WHAM!
Gun staggered back, but his body didn't register the pain. His empty eyes locked onto Daniel again, and he leaped forward with terrifying speed, launching a barrage of blows. Fists and feet moved in a blur, striking with the precision of Taekkyeon and the brutal force of Kyokushin Karate.
Daniel blocked and dodged, his UI allowing him to move fluidly between defenses, adapting with Jeet Kune Do footwork to evade Gun's flurry.
But Gun didn't stop.
He slammed his fists into the ground, causing the earth to split and crack, sending chunks of debris flying into the air. The shockwave traveled through the ground, and Daniel jumped to avoid it. Gun immediately capitalized, leaping after him like a predator, aiming a spinning kick toward Daniel's midsection.
Daniel twisted mid-air, countering with a Taekwondo roundhouse that met Gun's kick. The collision of their legs sent a thunderous shockwave through the air, shattering nearby windows and toppling streetlights.
BOOM!
The sound echoed through the empty streets, and buildings around them trembled from the sheer force. As they landed, the pavement beneath them cracked, unable to withstand the power of their strikes.
Vasco, Jay, and Vin, standing at the edge of the battlefield, could only watch in awe. Zack had recovered but was too injured to rejoin the fray. "We need to evacuate the area!" Vasco shouted, his eyes darting to the civilians in nearby buildings. "This is getting out of control!"
Jay nodded and immediately took charge, gathering the remaining crew to help civilians escape. "Move! Get everyone to safety! This neighborhood is about to become a warzone!" Jay barked orders, moving quickly through the streets as he and Vasco led people away from the incoming destruction.
Meanwhile, Daniel and Gun's fight continued to escalate.
Gun lunged again, his fists striking with machine-like precision. Daniel deflected each one with Krav Maga blocks, his movements sharp and efficient. But Gun's unconscious state didn't care about technique, he simply reacted to every threat with pure, primal force. His fists and feet were everywhere, his body moving faster than a normal human could ever hope to see.
Daniel ducked under a wild punch, sliding into a Capoeira low spin kick that swept Gun off his feet. As Gun fell, Daniel followed up with a crushing elbow to his chest, sending him crashing into the side of a building. The wall buckled under Gun's weight and crumbled, but once again, Gun stood up, his body not registering the damage.
Around them, buildings were collapsing. A nearby gas station exploded as one of Gun's kicks sent debris flying into it, igniting the fuel. The sound of sirens filled the air as police cars and fire trucks raced toward the scene. The media, drawn by the chaos, had begun to gather, capturing the destruction on live broadcast. Reporters shouted questions, their voices barely audible over the sounds of battle.
"Who are these people?" one reporter asked, her camera zooming in on the fight. "What's happening here?"
The scene looked like something out of a warzone. The street was torn apart, buildings crumbling, cars overturned and on fire. But amidst the chaos, Daniel and Gun continued to clash, their battle spanning the entire neighborhood.
Gun's body moved again, lunging with a Savate-style kick aimed at Daniel's head. Daniel blocked the kick, spinning around to counter with a devastating punch using Boxing. But as his fist collided with Gun's chest, something strange happened.
Gun's body moved on its own, shifting mid-air to avoid the brunt of the attack. It was as if his body had evolved in response to Daniel's power, adapting instinctively to survive. His green-glowing eyes, vacant and eerie, locked onto Daniel as he moved faster, more aggressively.
Daniel felt the shift. Gun's Ultra Instinct was pushing his body beyond its limits, reacting in ways that even Daniel hadn't anticipated. But Daniel wasn't going to back down. He had his own path, the Path of the Masterpiece, where every technique was executed flawlessly, every movement perfect. He was no longer a copy of anyone, he was forging his own way, mastering everything he had learned.
"Let's finish this," Daniel muttered to himself, stepping forward with intent.
Gun charged, his body a blur of motion as he unleashed a furious combination of strikes. But Daniel was ready. He raised his hand, forming the Void Rend circle around them. It spanned thirty meters, large enough to encompass the entire battlefield.
The moment the black circle formed, Daniel could feel everything within it, the air, the breathing, the vibrations of the earth beneath them. Gun was now inside his domain.
Gun lunged at him, his fist coming down like a hammer. But Daniel didn't move. Instead, he stepped into the strike, deflecting it with a simple flick of his wrist, conserving every ounce of energy. Then, with perfect precision, he delivered a single punch directly to Gun's abdomen.
BOOM!
The impact was so precise, so perfectly executed, that Gun's body froze. No shockwave rippled outward, no building crumbled. But the force of the blow rippled through Gun's insides, bypassing his monstrous durability and sending a shock to his internal organs.
Gun staggered, his eyes flashing green as his body momentarily went limp. But he didn't fall. His unconscious state still drove him forward, his body refusing to quit even as his organs screamed in agony.
Daniel's eyes narrowed. 'Even this won't be enough to stop him...'
But before he could act again, a rumble echoed from the distance. The sound of helicopters filled the air, and floodlights illuminated the battlefield as the media continued to film. Police barricades had gone up, and the entire area was now under lockdown.
And then it happened.
Gun's body twitched violently, his muscles bulging as if something inside him was breaking free. His green-glowing eyes turned feral, and with a roar that shook the entire block, Gun charged again, this time faster, stronger, more terrifying than before.
Daniel braced himself, but-
SMASH!
Gun's fist collided with Daniel's chest, sending him flying backward through the remains of a building. Dust and debris filled the air as Daniel crashed through the rubble, the impact leaving a crater in the ground.

Void Rend is the cqc technique that he created for those that don't remember.
He used the prototype against gun during the hunt for gun, and then against Zack during the training over the Monk.
