Chapter 2 - Collision Course

Agent 2 descended upon the rooftop, his presence commanding attention. Halting mid-air, he crossed his arms, eyes locked onto Jin with an air of superiority.

"Oh, I have the perfect idea,"

Agent 2 replied, his voice dripping with condescension.

"You see, Jin, ever since you broke out, you've been targeted. And if you must know, whoever breaks out always ends up broken."

Jin's gaze never wavered, his tone cold, mocking, and serious.

"That means you must have heard of me – Jin The Mad?, Jin the Notorious? Jin Le Fou? Jin The Broken? Whichever you heard, I myself prefer Jin The Mad."

As Jin spoke, two gigantic, mountain-sized snakes burst forth from the rooftop's surface, racing toward Agent 2 with deadly precision. Jin absorbed Ya'al into himself, transforming as his body was shrouded in a dark coat with burning black flames.

With Ya'al's power coursing through him, Jin's speed, strength, and agility increased exponentially. His dark flames danced with ferocity, illuminating the rooftop.

Agent 2 barely flinched, releasing his right hand to reveal a Cross pendant. The snakes were absorbed instantly, as if they never existed. The air cracked with energy as Agent 2 dashed toward Jin.

Stretching his hand with the Cross pendant, Agent 2 unleashed another explosion, more powerful than the first. Jin dodged by levitating upwards, narrowly avoiding the blast. The skyscraper building disintegrated, consumed by the devastating energy.

Jin flew upwards, but Agent 2 matched his speed. A swift kick sent Jin crashing through multiple buildings, bursting from one to another. Agent 2 pursued, his movements a blur.

Jin regained his balance, his body injured but Ya'al's healing powers swiftly repairing the damage. He stood, left leg bent, right foot on the ground, left hand on his standing leg.

As Jin raised his head, Agent 2 loomed before him, their faces inches apart.

"The difference in power between an Agent 0 and 2 is far greater than you can imagine," Agent 2 sneered.

Jin's eyes blazed with determination. "You should be careful when you're in close proximity with your enemy.

The battle between Jin and Agent 2 had only just begun.

*The Shadow Council*

The scene faded from Jin and Agent 2's intense battle. A new setting emerged, shrouded in darkness. Six figures, hidden in shadows, sat around a table.

"Jin's becoming a threat," one figure stated. "We must eliminate him immediately."

"Agreed," another figure replied. "The world doesn't need someone like him roaming free."

These figures were the masterminds behind the Matrix, pulling the strings from the shadows.

The scene shifted to Jon, an ancient looking man with piercing eyes. He gazed into an orb, watching Jin and Agent 2's battle unfold.

"This world is different from the real one," Jon whispered, his face etched with concern. "The real world is dead, manipulated by powerful beings. Ordinary people live their lives, controlled by the System."

Jon's words painted a dire picture.

"Long ago, the world ended. Whatever exists now is trapped inside a new world, controlled by the government. It's like they're living in a Matrix. Those who haven't broken out are oblivious."

Jon's gaze intensified.

"Jin is different. He sees the difference between real and fake. That's why the government, the System, the Matrix wants him dead by all means."

I must now assist him even if he doesn't need it, Jon said, as he turned his head towards another One of Jin fellow an outcast like named Boro,Jon opened a portal one that would directly send Boro to Jin. On the other hand Jin's determination burned brighter than ever.

*Battle Resumes*

The scene snapped back to Jin and Agent 2. Jin unleashed a burst of black flames, using it as cover to move swiftly behind Agent 2.

A swift punch flew toward Agent 2, but he dodged with ease. Jin's fists flew in rapid succession – 1, 2, 3, 4 – each punch dodged by Agent 2.

The two engaged in a breathtaking display of martial arts, their movements lightning-fast.Jin's leg kicked up a wooden stick lying on the floor. With a swift motion, he hit it, sending it flying toward Agent 2.Agent 2 employed a materialization technique, allowing the stick to pass through him without harm.

The battle raged on but Jin was no longer alone in this Boro had arrived, But seconds before that Agent 2 had turned in a giant colossal guardian.

The clash between the colossal guardian ,Jin and Boro was going to be nothing short of epic. The immense size and formidable strength of the guardian made it a formidable opponent. As soon as the battle began, the ground trembled beneath their feet, setting the stage for a brutal encounter.

Jin, was also a skilled swordsman renowned for his agility and precision, charged forward with unmatched force. As the colossal guardian swung its massive iron fists, Jin swiftly dodged, evading each attack with a dancer's grace. Despite the immense difference in size, he displayed incredible speed and agility, landing precise strikes on the guardian whenever an opportunity presented itself.

Boro, on the other hand, possessed the gift of elemental control. He unleashed waves of raging fire and bolts of lightning against the colossal guardian, hoping to weaken its defenses. The guardian was momentarily stunned as the flames engulfed its colossal form, the intense heat causing it to roar in pain. Boro's elemental abilities worked in tandem with Jin's swift maneuvers, creating a harmonious dual assault.

However, the colossal guardian was not one to be easily overcome. Its sheer size and strength allowed it to withstand the combined onslaught of the skilled duo. With an earth-shattering stomp, it sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield, causing both Jin and Boro to lose their footing momentarily. Seizing this opportunity, the guardian swiftly turned its attention towards Boro.

In a display of brute force, the guardian lunged at Boro, its massive fist crashing down upon him. Boro tried to evade the strike, but he was caught off guard, unable to avoid the devastating blow. The impact sent him flying through the air, crashing into a nearby boulder with a sickening thud.

As Jin witnessed his dear friend lying motionless, a mix of fury and sorrow welled up within him. It fueled his determination to avenge Boro's sacrifice. With newfound intensity, he engaged the colossal guardian once more, his sword flashing in the sunlight as he expertly parried and counterattacked coated with his black flames.

In a desperate final charge,Jin managed to sever one of the guardian's arms, causing it to bellow in pain. Realizing the end was near, the guardian let out a massive roar, its booming voice echoing across the battlefield. Bloodied and battered, Jin stood firm, preparing for the final confrontation.

Gathering his every ounce of strength, Boro managed to rise to his feet, albeit weakly. With heavy breaths and tear-filled eyes, he spoke words of encouragement to Jin. "You've got this, my friend," he whispered, his voice filled with determination. "Finish it! Take it down for both of us."

Inspired by Boro's unwavering belief, Jin threw himself into a relentless series of attacks. His sword danced through the air, each strike precise and calculated. With every blow, the colossal guardian was pushed closer to its demise. The final strike, a thunderous blow aimed directly at the guardian's heart, sent it crumbling to the earth with an earth-shaking thud.

As the dust settled, Jin knelt beside Boro, tears streaming down his face. He gently cradled his fallen friend's head, whispering his gratitude and how Boro's sacrifice would never be forgotten. Boro, with a weak smile, whispered his final words to Jin, "You did it, my friend. You're stronger than you know. Carry on and protect those that need you. I'll be watching over you."

With those words of encouragement imprinted on his heart, Jin rose to his feet, honoring Boro's memory. Agent 2 had been defeated, and though the loss was great, Jin knew that Boro's spirit would remain with him, guiding his every step, as he continued to protect and fight for what they had believed in together, The Wind blew by and 4 more Agent had appeared, Jin who was already wore out would be quickly summoned back by Jon using an ancient spell.
