[Anger Boost:2 Minutes left]
"Tch." 'Why is it so short?' Kazama asks himself, now knowing the answer. He jumps out of the wall he is lodged in, he lands on the floor and scans the desolate landscape with no signs of life bar himself.
'I saw him fall down here' Kazama checks around, thinking he could have killed Teika. The space down here was quiet, too quiet, besides the crackling of the flames on the ground and on the buildings, there was no sound. Kazama could feel eyes peeled on him, he chalked it up to scared civilians hiding in their homes.
"Teika! Come out!" He shouts out… Nothing. But then suddenly he hears a pebble move, 'Got you!' he spins around, going for a kick, but it's a kid just trying to creep past.
The kid's face turns from scared, to sad as he starts crying. "MOMMY!!!" "Kid! Shhh!" Kazama could just feel something was wrong, and he was right, an ethereal otherworldly shriek resonates through the whole city.
'That wasn't human.' Kazama protects the kid as he scans the skies. Everything seems okay. Suddenly the kid stops crying, Kazama looks behind him… The kid is on the ground, dead, while an anthropomorphic bat creature feeds on the kid's head.
The creature was grotesque in form, mucus dripping from its nose, its face was rigidly defined, bar its cloudy, misguided eyes. Its thin bony arms were defined by the thin skin connecting it to its feet, acting as makeshift wings. The claws on the ends of its fingers and toes were some 6 inches odd long. But the most defining feature of the creature was the massive, tall ears, filled to the brim with black ear wax.
Kazama knew what this beast was, it was a Flagra, Xavier had taught him about them. But how did it get outside the Heat Realm? Suddenly Kazama's stomach dropped as he thought of the possibility that a portal was opened.
He didn't have a chance to wait, Kazama jumps in with the Sword of the Lonesome, and starts whaling on the beast. The Flagra evenly matches Kazama, easily blocking his attacks. Kazama notices another thing, Odin won't come out.
As he realises this the Flagra slashes a cut on his right side.

[Punishment:30 minutes of Torture]
'This thing really loves torture!' Kazama had no clue on how to beat this creature; he desperately searched for a weak spot. In the meantime the Ÿuígn kept up the pressure.
[Anger Boost:56 Seconds Left]
If the Anger Boost runs out and the Ÿuígn is still alive Kazama would die for sure. Kazama kept losing ground while keeping the Ÿuígn off. His cut really ate into his speed, now if he made any small mistake the Ÿuígns claws would puncture his heart.
'There!' Kazama spotted it's weak spot, just like a bat it must be blind and use its ears to do most of the work, so if he gets rid of their ability to hear, he could win.
[Anger Boost:23 Seconds Left]
Kazama had no time, it went in for a slash, Kazama managed to deflect it, he used all his power to jump up, he aimed his sword at its ear, and just like butter, he jams his sword through all of the earwax and destroys the eardrum.
But his sword is stuck in there…
It was an instant, he didn't even feel the claws tear through his intestines, it just happened…

Teika fights with Zero in the air, "Zero you have gotten a lot stronger than when we last fought!" Teika says as he shifts his weight to dodge a jab from Zero, "Well I couldn't be defeated in 13 seconds again!" Zero blocks a knee from Teika.

Commander Black smokes a cigarette and coughs up a pile of phlegm when someone runs into his room. "Sir! The head of Kal Katal, who we have identified as Atar Ertugrul, and Shijima Teika have started fighting in Istanbul!"
Commander Black slams his fist on the desk, "what is that idiot Mater doing!?"
"We have a live video feed sir!" The projector on the ceiling lights up the wall as Commander Black watches the fight. "This is a problem, Teika clearly wants Takashi Tatsujin to live, so he just went immediately to get the Yong'un Seng from the source."
Zero uses his attack, '20 Judgements' again. "IS THAT WHITE HEAT!?" "Yes Sir…" "THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED! HOW IS HE WITHSTANDING IT!?" Commander Black is completely bewildered, but he is even more bewildered when he sees Xavier join the fight "MATER!?" "His name is Xav-" "GET THE JET READY I'M GOING TO ISTANBUL!"

Kazama sits in a pile of rubble, just watching the Ÿuígn, with the sword still in its ear, eat the poor kid's corpse. Kazama tried to get a Health Potion out multiple times, but each time the Ÿuígn attacked him again. But finally the Ÿuígn finishes it's snack and starts walking towards Kazama…
