Chapter 12 - Tournament Part IV ~The Prince vs. The King~

"Come on, Tyrone!" smiled Miguel, helping Tyrone up.Tyrone was crying and was on the ground after tripping on some rocks outside school. "Thank you..." he said, shyly."You shouldn't be sad all the time!" smiled Miguel. "I'll teach you how to smile! It's how you get friends and girls to like you!""Really?

I-I-I'll take note of that..."

Now...Miguel faces against Tyrone.Miguel frowns angrily.Tyrone smiles elegantly before Miguel. "Well, well. If it isn't my best friend in the whole wide world?""WE LOVE YOU TYRONE!!!" cheered the people around them. "WOOOO!!!""I LOVED YOUR GAME WITH CAL!!!""YOU WERE AWESOME AT THAT YOUTUBE VIDEO WITH CAL AND ACOSTA!!!""TYR AND JESS FOREVER!!!""TYR AND JESS GANG!!!""SHOW HOW SKIBIDI TOILET MIGUEL IS!!!"Miguel just stares at him with dead eyes."Aw! What's wrong, emo loser? Gonna cry to momma?" smiled Tyrone."TYRONE!!! TYRONE!!! TYRONE!!!""Go on, Miguel. Isn't it that you always wanted to be loved by the world? Right...? THAT'S what you've ALWAYS wanted, right?" asked Tyrone, crossing his arms, proudly."I've wanted that more than anything in the world..." said Miguel."Then take the shot, loser."Miguel frowns and throws a right hook with absolute no guard.Tyrone keeps an even sturdier guard than Anna did, managing to block it with ease and slam his fist into Miguel's chest, making Miguel spit out.Miguel crashes away only for him to manage to regain his stance."Hm... Your guard's sloppy..." said Tyrone."Yeah!? So is yours!""What? No, it isn't.""Yes, it is!""Just because you said it is doesn't mean-...""You're A POOPY face!""You're a dumbass." Tyrone smiles and charges toward Miguel, tactically blocking all of Miguel's punches and kicks."It seems that you only rely on your skill alone..." said Tyrone, smiling before slamming his elbow into Miguel's stomach. He does this over and over again as Miguel crashes away.Miguel regains his footing and activates his wings, spinning and nearly cutting Tyrone in half only for Tyrone to grab his wings and pull them. "AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Miguel immediately feels weaker. He falls to his knees."Oh, shit..." said the Reaper.Prometheus facepalms."What's wrong!?" asked Lord."Aswangs get weaker when their wings get pulled... How'd he-?" Anna realizes something. "Dark... Their combat master is an Aswang! He must've told Tyrone what to do!""Shit..." said Jedan.Tyrone then cruelly steps on Miguel's back and pulls his wings harder.Miguel tries using his tail, but Tyrone is already stepping on it."AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" roared Miguel, feeling numb and a seething red hot pain in his spine. "AGH!!! AGH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Miguel slowly transforms into an Aswang. "KRYYEAAAAAAAH!!!"Miguel's forked tongue slithers out of his jaw and stabs Tyrone in the eye."SHIT!!!" Tyrone grabs his eye and Miguel kicks him away, pulling his forked tongue out of his eye. His eye gets pulled out as Tyrone screams in pain.Miguel, in his Aswang form, drinks up the fluids of the eye and eats it.Miguel then slowly turns to Tyrone.Tyrone's eye immediately grows back from his socket."What the-?"Tyrone, angered, roundhouse kicks Miguel as Miguel blocks the attack and counters it with a strong jab in the chest.Tyrone throws several strikes at Miguel.Miguel blocks all of them. Miguel then throws several punches and kicks which Tyrone dodges. Miguel does an aerial cartwheel and flame kicks the back of Tyrone's head as Tyron gets lit on fire. But suddenly, the flames die down.Tyrone growls angrily and begins transforming into his true form.The crowd goes wild for him.Girls can be seen fainting by his mere audacity and presence.Boy faint, realizing that they will never BE him.The Cold Roach King charges with a heavy punch to Miguel's stomach. Miguel blocks it. But Miguel begins to realize that his arm begins to feel colder.Miguel is horrified to see that his arm is completely frozen. He kicks Tyrone away and grabs his arm, proceeding to warm it with fire to melt the ice. Some of his skin is torn off by the ice. He slowly heals his arm."Oh no!" yelled Anna. "Ice!? THAT'S A THING!?!?""Eyes of Ice," said Jedan.The Cold Roach King punches him again and his face freezes over. "COOL FIST!!! COOL KICK!!!" He kicks him in the shin and his knee freezes over.Miguel roars and shrieks, ticking his wings violently."COOL WHIP!!!" The Cold Roach King whips him with his gigantic tail. "WINGS OF SANTA'S SLEIGH!!!" Tyrone spins and slashes at Miguel with his frozen wings. Tyrone punches at Miguel over and over and freezes several parts of his body.Miguel warms himself and sighs out of relief as he regenerates and the ice is melted.Tyrone sneers and prepares a sphere of ice.Miguel's eyes widen."COOL BOMB!!!"Tyrone blasts at Miguel and manages to freeze him over in a block of ice.The audience is at awe."TYRONE... WIIIIINS!!!" laughed Dylan.They all cheer for Tyrone."TOLD YA I'D BEAT THIS LOSER!!!" laughed Tyrone."1!" cheered Dylan and the crowd.Suddenly, the ice melts completely."2...?" asked Dylan.Miguel shivers in pain. "No matter how many times you beat me down... I'll still get back up and stand..."Tyrone frowns."GUARD UP, MIGUEL!!!" yelled Prometheus."Goddamn it..." said the Reaper. "He never actually got the hang of blocking and having a high defense. He IS sloppy.""WHIP HIM WITH YOUR TAIL!!!" roared Prometheus.Miguel has an idea. He ticks his wings as his tail immediately starts releasing smoke.Miguel charges.Tyrone tries backing away but Miguel's tail does a whip motion and slaps the shit out of Tyrone's face."HELL WHIP!!!" roared Miguel.Tyrone is thrown away and spins in the air.Miguel then does the aerial cartwheel and kicks his neck. "AERIAL HELL CARTWHEEL!!!"Tyrone bursts into flames and crashes into the ground. He freezes himself over as his skin regenerates from his third-degree burns.Miguel prepares his own bomb which he tosses at Tyrone. "STARDUST BOMB!!!"*BOOM!!!*A massive explosion occurs as Tyrone is swept away from the ring and is thrown like a ragdoll.Tyrone manages to gain his footing. He flies toward Miguel.Miguel then spins and slashes at his arm with his wing.As Tyrone dodged the attack, only being scratched by his wing, his wound bursts into flames."WINGS OF THE PHOENIX!!!"Tyrone growls. "He copied my attacks!" he thought.Miguel grabs his tail and throws several punches to his face with one hand. "HELL RUSH!!!"Miguel then creates a blade made of fire."WHAT THE FUCK!?!?" asked Tyrone.Miguel then cuts Tyrone's face vertically."What the f-!?"*SPLAT!!!*"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Tyrone's head is cut vertically in half.Tyrone growls, fixing his head back together. "You... PIG!!! My team... my friends... CANNOT be HUMILIATED by a loser like you!""YOU TELL 'IM, TYRONE!!!" yelled one in the crowd."SHOW THAT AUTISTIC FREAK WHAT FOR!!!""You're not supposed to make fun of that..." said Miguel."EXCUSE YOU!?!?" roared Tyrone."My condition. You're not supposed to make fun of that."Tyrone slams his fist into Miguel's face as Miguel blocks it with a flaming fist.Tyrone becomes astonished, seeing that Miguel somehow perfectly countered Tyrone's freezing by burning his arm with an equal amount of faith and thus, energy.Tyrone throws a barrage of punches, strikes, and kicks.Miguel tries to slam his way into Tyrone's vitals but Tyrone's guard is too high.Tyrone attacks as if he wants to finish the fight, so Miguel has an idea to take advantage of this.Miguel throws several stardust bombs at Tyrone, who proceeds to dodge them with ease as they explode all over the ring."RAUGH!!!"Tyrone laughs. "IS THAT ALL YOU G-!?!?" He stops, seeing that there are spheres all around him."STARDUST CONSTRICTOR!!!"The flames begin orbiting Tyrone. Tyrone flies upward with his insectoid wings, trying to escape the orbiting spheres of mass destruction only for all of them to crash into Tyrone and blow up simultaneously.Tyrone growls, having lost his entire right arm and right leg.Miguel just stares at Tyrone, full of hatred.Tyrone regenerates painfully and slowly drops to the ground. Tyrone approaches him. "You BITCH... It must pain you to realize how I stole your girl... Us holding hands... kissing... When you think about it... Every time you texted her, she was probably thinking of me... or already kissing me."Miguel punches Tyrone in the face and kicks him.Tyrone blocks his attack and reverse double ax handles his face, proceeding to Spartan kick him away.Tyrone punches and beats Miguel over and over again.Anna, Jedan, Lord, Gerard, Fred, Athena, Happy, and the Reaper stare with concern as the students cheer for Tyrone.Miguel stands right back up, whimpering, only for Tyrone to roundhouse knee kick him in the stomach and elbow the back of his neck.*CRACK!!!* Miguel falls to the ground having his spine stretched in a way it shouldn't be stretched.Miguel twitches frantically on the ground while ticking his wings in an offbeat manner.Tyrone beats him over and over again, becoming sloppier in his technique and leaving his guard open, just wanting to kill Miguel. "YOU SEE!?!?!? I WON!!! I WON!!! YOU SEE!?!? YOU'RE CANCER!!! YOU'RE A CANCER TO THIS SCHOOL!!! YOU DESERVE TO BE BENEATH ME, YOU UGLY CREEP!!! WE'RE STRONGER THAN YOU!!! I'M STRONGER THAN YOU!!! I DESERVE TO BEAT YOU!!! YOU ARE NOTHING!!!"Miguel's blood begins dripping all over the ground. A puddle begins to form as Miguel just twitches and shakes in pain.Tyrone kicks him over and over. "YOU LOSE, BITCH!!!"Miguel shakes in pain. "Why...?" Miguel asked, softly. "Why do you like hurting me?"Tyrone's eyes widen. "Because I have risen above you... Because you think you're smart in class... Because you used to compete with me... And I used to lose... But I got better! I got smarter! More popular! MORE-... *click, click, click, click!* ... -POWERFUL!!!""I just wanted friends...""You want friends, but you're clingy and creep people out.""But I'm not like that anymore.""What else? You used to boast how smart you are. You'd always recite... Make the teachers have more respect for you by just acting DISCIPLINED... You'd act awkward... Act differently from us... Act all weird with your mannerisms. Flapping your arms like a hillbilly. Like a WEIRDO...!!! You used to write Fanfiction stories..."The eyes on Prometheus' goggles turn red."Something's OFF about you! WHY CAN'T YOU BE NORMAL!!!" asked Tyrone, kicking him over and over again. "Now... I'm gonna give you a chance to regenerate... And beat you at your strongest. AT. YOUR. STRONGEST!!!" Tyrone kicked him each time he said a word. "GOT THAT!?!?"Tyrone walks at the far end of the ring.Everyone smiles with full support of Tyrone.Miguel pathetically tries to stand right back up. "(I just want friends...)" he whispered. "(No... I want... respect...)" "THEN EARN IT!!!" roared Tyrone.Miguel slowly regenerates painfully and pathetically."Look at you... Pathetic... Weak... Like a worm in the dirt."Miguel shakes in pain."No wonder your parents died," smiled Tyrone.Miguel transforms out of anger. He ticks his wings.Tyrone flattens his hand in a chop form and prepares an attack. He then twists it and blasts a beam of ice.Miguel immediately, in a quick split second, crossed his arms with closed fists, opened his thumb, index finger, middle finger, and shot a Hell Fire blast at Tyrone."COOL DRILL!!!" roared Tyrone."HELL FIRE!!!" roared Miguel.The two beams, one forged from coldness and the other formed from flaming anger meet each other and splatter like streams of waterMiguel roars and growls like crazy. He screams and blasts so hard that the beam pushes Tyrone's beam away as the beam curves upward and explodes.Miguel falls to his knees, tired."I did it. I beat him..." Miguel begins feeling a heavy weight in his chest. "Why the hell is no one cheering? Did I do something wrong?"People begin booing at him."BOOOOOOO!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"Suddenly, Tyrone appears from behind and breaks Miguel's spine with a Spartan kick, knocking him down.Miguel screams in pain before withering down, knocked-out.The crowd cheers for his demise."TYRONE... WIIIIINS!!!" laughed Dylan. "AGAIN!!!"Dark facepalms. "Welp... My students have no idea they lost, did they?""Yep..." said Herculea.The Reaper tries to help Miguel, trying to stand up."Miguel," said Dark. "Prometheus will kill you if y-..."Prometheus speaks while staring at Miguel, who is crying and whimpering on the ground. "Humble him. Show no mercy.""I thought you never cared about him," said the Reaper. "And you told me to not interfere.""Do it or I'll humble you. All of you."The Reaper turns to Dark and Herculea, who, with terrified looks, look away. The Reaper sighs. "Yes, sir." The Reaper activates his rocket flames and flies to Miguel, landing before him. "Hey... you're gonna be alright...." "Do they respect me yet...?" Miguel asked, crying."Shhh... That doesn't matter now..." The Reaper then begins healing him with warm flames."Your flames are healing my injuries..." said Miguel."Not all flames destroy..." said the Reaper."It seems I have retained MY VICTORY!!!"The Reaper sighs and stands before the Cold Roach King. "You. Fight me.""Aren't you his dork master that babies him all the time?" smiled Tyrone."Yes, I am. Fight me.""Okay!"Tyrone prepares a stance, but at a blink of an eye, the Reaper had already torn a hole into his chest.Tyrone moans in pain. "Stop... F-f-f-fisting me!""No..." The Reaper begins burning his heart.Tyrone frantically tries to cool his flames, but the Reaper's power is too strong.Tyrone pushes him away and backs away in fear.The Reaper coldly stares at him while slouching his back.Tyrone growls. "PHOENIX WINGS!!!" Tyrone tries slicing him with his wings but the Reaper catches them and pulls them off his back.Tyrone screams in pain and falls to the ground.Tyrone charges with a Cool Kick but the Reaper blocks the attack and viciously tears off his arm.Tyrone falls to the ground. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?!?"The Reaper takes off his mask, revealing a heavily scarred face.Tyrone looks closely. "Holy shit... You're a Miguel!""Yeah. Three Miguels in one universe. Isn't that a doozy?"Tyrone growls. "I CAN'T... LOSE TO YOU!!!""I know someone who gets your vibe. You should hang out with the Tyrone in my world.""Really? Where is he then.""Dead. I killed him."Tyrone becomes terrified. He stands up and does a roundhouse kick but Miguel catches his leg and tears it off.Tyrone falls to the ground and regenerates his lost body parts.Tyrone roars. "COOL DRILL!!!"The Reaper just slaps away his beam which freezes the entire sky, causing a massive hail storm in Burnham City. The students immediately feel cold and huddle together, even wearing their jackets.Tyrone backs away in fear. "I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO CHALLENGE ME!!!""Yes. But you insulted my student. I'm not happy with that. So, I'm gonna humiliate the motherfucking shit out of you."Tyrone charges only for The Reaper to stomp at his legs, snapping them backward."Now... Tell me... What did you do wrong?""I put a dumb loser IN HIS PLACE-!!!"The Reaper kicks him to the ground. The Reaper then stomps on his face and pins him on the ground with psychic flame tentacles.The Reaper turns to Dylan. "Dylan. Please give me the mic."The Reaper takes the mic. "Children... What did you ALL do wrong...? Say it, or I'll crush his bug brain. I mean, I don't know if he can regeneration-shit that."They all went silent."Hm. I thought this was your beloved Messiah. Looks like they only loved you for your hotness!" smiled the Reaper. "Goodbye, Tyrone."*CRRAAACCKKKK!!!*Tyrone screams in pain. "AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!""We bullied him! And his friends!" yelled Jess, who now has the mic. "Most of his friends are n-n-now in different schools because of us... We bullied them out of his life and tormented him.""And why are you doing that?" asked the Reaper, stopping his foot from crushing Tyrone's skull."Why, what?""Bullying him? Why do you bully him?"Jess was unable to answer that."Because respect is earned?" asked the Reaper."May I say something?" asked Acosta."Go ahead," said the Reaper."Uh... Miguel's a crybaby loser..."The Reaper begins squeezing his skull again as Tyrone screams."BUT WAIT!!! LEMME FINISH!!!"The Reaper squints his eyes."It all started at 4th Grade... He and his friends moved here in our school. They were known as Weeb Town and they were notorious for speaking English more than Tagalog.""Well, technically, all I hear from you is English because of the Universal Translators installed in our brains and you saying that is the funniest shit I've ever heard.""Wait! Miguel was a menace! He used to act... WEIRD!!! And when we made fun of him for it, he'd yell at us!""Like what?""Well... One time he wore a tophat to school and he acted all weird so we called him Charlie Chaplin and pointed at him. He cried all week.""Ooh! How about the time we called him black for a year because of his skin!" laughed Cal.The Reaper frowns at him."S-Sorry..." said Cal."He admitted he liked me and I got grossed out by him. That kinda made him act clingy, so I dated his ex-best friend," said Jess."One time he peed his pants and he smelled bad and pretended he didn't. So we made fun of him for it.""He'd always run around in recess like a wild monkey.""He'd always slouch while eating.""He'd always laugh loud like an annoying bitch.""He'd always flap his arms.""He'd always act... WEIRD... He'd talk like he was some cartoon character or something that's so offbeat!""He's ugly!""He doesn't take a bath!""He thinks sex is gross, which is funny.""He has no eye contact!""He speaks with off-topic topics!""He butts in the convo!""He keeps repeating jokes!""When we make funny loud ringing noises he does that funny thing with his ears and covers them.""We like destroying his toys because he acts all funny about it. Like now!"Miguel sobs and stomps his feet over and over again as Anna hugs the poor guy and Lord and Jedan pat his back."Do you know what autism is?" asked the Reaper.The crowd shuts up."No?" asked Jess."It's a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how they interact with others and communicate.""Uhhh-..." said Jess."He's a special child, moron," said the Reaper."Whatever... He still needs to earn our respect..." said Tyrone."Do you THINK we respect you?" the Reaper lifts Tyrone up as he grabs him by the cheek. "Do you? We don't respect you, Tyrone. Miguel Ibarras across the Multiverse don't respect ANY of you! YOU earn OUR respect! You have no idea, do you? The monsters that you people create because of your belief in the lack of respect and basic human courtesy."The people begin murmuringa as Miguel blasts the sky with flames. The clouds explode and evaporate with a heavy shockwave.Dark and Herculea gulp.Prometheus just calmly plays Sudoku on his phone, but his goggles still display red eyes."I mean... I don't blame you. You're HIGH SCHOOL KIDS... You kids are too stupid to realize that you eventually create the quiet kid that shoots down your dumbass schools. In other universes, they become rebellious vigilantes who hunt and kill evil Aswangs. In other worlds, they become Space Wizards who conquer and subjugate worlds to protect them from a great evil and shape them in his own image. In other worlds, they become an evil dark lord who is known to have destroyed his own world... slaughtering every single enemy, friend, and relative he ever had... Becoming the sole follower of the literal fucking devil."Tyrone loses energy and goes back to his normal form.The Reaper slowly puts Tyrone down, only for him to pull his jaw off.Tyrone gags and makes choking sounds as his jaw stays open and gaping.Tyrone struggles as he heals his jaw."Let this be a reminder, children... Respect isn't earned. It's innate. Love isn't earned. It's innate. Humans are made to love and respect others. Because if you have no love or respect for anyone else other than yourself... than Usog will crush you for your filthy arrogance. Remember that.""Why do you hate us...? That... is the OPPOSITE of love!" yelled Jess."Hate isn't the opposite of love. It never is. Hate is a feeling that comes from love. When something you love betrays you... or something harms what you love... That is when hate comes to play," said Prometheus, with his goggles glowing red and his voice as cold and monotonous as Tyrone's ice. "The test is finished. You have all failed. See you again next year."The audience is shocked by this."WE'RE ALL GONNA REDO THE YEAR!!!" yelled that one kid."SHUT UP!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" roared Jess. "SHUT UP!!!"Cal and Acosta begin crying.The seven knights just hug Miguel.Gerard even offers Miguel some tea.Anna sighs and pats Miguel's head.
