Chapter 16 pushed to the limit
I jump to the side barely dodging a spray of shogun pellets as I roll to my right as several stun batons slam into where I just was. I spin around and slam the bat into a goon who was aiming at me with a shotgun knocking him into several goons. I duck under a right hook as I slam the bat into the gonna leg knocking him into the ground. I shoot out an elbow denting the helmet of a charging goon as I activate my kinetic shield blocking two stun batons as I shove them away.
I get sucker punched across the back of my head by a goon from behind and while I’m stunned for a second as another goon tackles me as I drop the thunder bat on accident. I barely move a foot as I lift the goon up and spin around knocking around several other goons as I slam the goon into the ceiling. I was lucky because the reason I’m not getting shot to bits was pretty simple. I was in a crowd so that meant not everyone could just fire at me without hitting one of their friends, smart move.
Three goons rush at me, two with knives and one with a pistol already firing. I rush forward as I block a bullet going for my heart with a kinetic shield as I jump forward and land on the two goons with knives faces. I jump off their faces as I toss an explosive bearing behind blasting away several goons and heavily burning the 2 knife guys.
I dig my steel claws into the ceiling as I take a deep breath, turn a dial on my mask and unleash a wave of water. Half the goons on the train get blasted to the ground as ankle high water covers the floor. I heard small splashes behind me as on instinct I spin around and roundhouse kick goon about to shoot me. I feel his chest armor shatter along with his ribs as he flies into several goons knocking them down. I need to make kinetic boots too because I think I might have killed that man but I do still hear light breathing from him so he’s probably fine I hope.
I sidestep an overhead strike from a stun baton from a goon as I grab them by the helmet, denting the metal in my grip as I slam them into the ground. As soon as I turn around I'm forced to use my kinetic shields to block a spray of shotgun pellets As I hear Splashing stop just behind me. Just as I turn around I see a goon swinging My thunderbat right at my head. My mind could react to it but my body couldn't As I feel the heavy metal bat slam into the side of My head. My head shoots to the right as I feel a small bruise form and Already start healing. The goon goes for another swing but this time I grab the bat as I feel little force behind the swing. I feel annoyance build up in me as I slowly turn to the goon.
They try to pull the bat out of my grip but I keep my grip the same as I shoot my arm up lifting the goon as I pull back my fist and launch my fist into his chest shattering his armor. I shoot my head to the right as a bullet passes by my head as I spin around as I rush forward towards my shooter. They start panic firing as I rush toward them and shoulder check them into the wall, I always love doing that.
I hear multiple steps behind me as I turn to see a group of goons with large rectangular shields and machine guns. I flip my bat into the air and catch with my hand as I jump out of the way of machine gun fire. I weave through the storm bullets as I grab a goon who was reloading and hold them up in front of me as The gun fire stops. I hold the struggling adult like a child in front of me as I see them seemingly hesitating, guess they know this guy or girl? Who cares because I don’t as I put a little black ball in the belt of the goon and toss them at the group.
They fly into the group crashing against them as the impact breaks the black small and explodes into smoke filling the train car. I can see through the spoke perfectly but the goons can’t say the same as they start blind firing. I run forward and grab one of them by the back of the head as I spin around and slam them into several goons sending them flying. I spin around and slam the abt into the head of one of the goons, shattering it as they fall to the ground. I then turn a dial on my mask as I take breath and unleash a blast of wind sending the rest of the group flying.
The smoke clears as I lean on my bat as I watch all the goons slowly but surely get up as I look at my nonexistent watch tapping my foot. They rush towards me some limping as I grab one of the shields and step on it as I activate the shock function of the Thunder bat as I put the bat in the water.
They all freeze up and fall to the ground as I swear I could see their skeletons as I pull the bat out of the water as I step off the shield. I take a couple seconds to admire my handy work as I feel satisfaction from seeing how much I improve in this short amount of time. I went from running from guys like this to taking down nearly 4 dozen of them with much better gear without breaking a sweat.
I start hearing steps in front of this one as I grab a shield off the ground as I walk to the door that leads to the next car and kick it open. The door flies off its hinges as I walk into the car and spot only teens goons but they look much more different. Their armor was covered in much smaller plates but went up the entire of their arms, legs, chest, stomach and back. The metal had more of a red tint to it and their helmets had cross shape scarlet visors but these ones were glowing. They all held two weapons, the first one being a black rifle that had a rectangular barrel with a silver cylinder down the middle and instead of a normal ammo slot there was a massive box. The second weapon looks like a mace made of pure silver covered in red circuit lines, aw shit we got mega goons.
One of them lifts their rifles as they pull the trigger and I feel my body move on its own as I jump to the side. I felt my ears nearly bleed as what seems to be a metal spike creates a large BOOM as it flies past me and punches a six foot wide hole into car behind as I realize these fucks have portable rail guns, This is gonna be a long night.
I barely weave past two more railgun shots as I rush forward as I get close but before two step forward and slam those maces into the ground. A crimson pulse releases from the maces and collides with me as It feels like I got hit with a train as Shoot backwards into the previous car as I feel several ribs crack. I jump onto my feet and immediately I’m forced to jump to the ceiling to dodge another shot as I see the guys with maces run forward as I fall to the ground.
I fall backwards as the mega goon swings the mace and as it collides with the wall it explodes and destroys it giving a new window to the speeding outside world. I roll my side dodging another mega goon as the mace slams into the ground creating a hole into the floor as I get launched back by another scarlet pulse.
I handspring into the air as I dodge another railgun shot as I land on feet as they don’t give me a second to breathe. I weave to the right as I dodge another strike as I slam my bat into the mega goon side as I feel more resistance. I shoot up my other arm as I use a kinetic shield to block another strike as I push back a foot as the purple clashes against red as I shove the mega goon back. The both kennel down as I hear several steps behind me as I turn and see several mega goons pointing there rail guns at me…………fuck. I barely had time to put up my kinetic shields as the shots clash against my shields and I’m shot out of the train as I feel the bones in my arms break as I feel wind rush past me as I land on the ground as I see the train quickly move into the distance.
I quickly open up my mask as I vomit some blood as I slowly get up and look around and see that I’m on a bridge over a lake as I turn and see the city in the distance. I close my mask as I feel my arms already healing as I pull up my hood and start sprinting after the train. I feel everything blur past me as in only a matter of seconds I’m only 10 feet away from the train. I see several mega goons step to the exit and start firing at me. I push my reaction time and perception to the limits as I weave the shots as they pierce through the bridge.
Explosions of metal and wood erupt behind as I see one mega goon wave as they move aside as one comes with a rpg, yay lucky me. They aim at me as the rocket fires as I feel my feet turn to steel and I leap forward. I glide over the rocket as I land on top of the train with a thud as I turn to see the bridge behind us collapse as we enter a lush forest.
I stand up as I holster my thunder bat on my back as I shift the kinetic gauntlets to my normal strength as they glow brighter. I hear a Boom behind me as I turn to see several more open up as I start running on top of the train, just give me a fucking break! I run on top of several cars as I grab some explosive bearings from my belt as I hear several more BOOMS behind me. I count the seconds between the shots as I know there is about to fire under me. I jump backwards and another hole is put into the ceiling of the train car. As soon as the hole is formed I throw several explosive bearings into it as there is a flash of light and smoke comes from the hole.
I drop down into the hole as I enter some sort of communications room but all the tech is well destroyed. I see several mega goons covered in some burns and some cracks in their armor already recovered. I rush forward as I slam my knee full force into the closest mega goons helmet denting as I hit them with a chop to the neck as they start choking. I then grab their mace and slam it into the other mega goon launching them into the wall denting it. I kick then rush forward and hit The mega goon right in the solar plexus as I grab them and turn around and use them to block another mace strike from another mega goon denting them into the ground. I grab their mace as I duck under the other mega goon mace and I take a deep breath and an explosion of flames fling them back.
The other seven mega goons walk in as I take a deep breath as I turn my hands into steel as I start to feel everything slow down as I feel my heart beat faster as feel adrenaline flow through my veins as I grin like a mad man.
“LETS FUCKING GO!!” I yell as I rush forward and slide under a railgun shot as I jump forward and clash maces with two mega goons. The red energy of the weapons crackles against each other painting the room in a scarlet as I shove their maces down and hit them with a tunnel of air knocking them to the ground. I blast myself to the right with a beam of pressurized water as several railgun shots slam into my previous location as I throw one of the maces into one of the mega goons knocking him into the previous car.
The rifles seem to have a recharge time and my ball bearings don’t as I grab some from my belt and charge them with kinetic energy as I throw them into the floor as they bounce against the ground and perfectly into the all of there hands with a lovely crack, AND THAT”S WHY YOU DON”T FUCK WITH A MARKSMEN BABY! I leap forward as I elbow the first mega goon and with that same motion I slam the back of my hand into their helmet breaking it. Another mega Goon runs forward and jumps over the friend and tries to go for an overhead slam while another runs to my side and goes for my liver. I use a kinetic shield to block the overhead strike as I use the mace in my other hand to block the strike from the side. With a bit of effort and knock them away as I slam my first into the throat of the mega goon on my right.
I side step another strike from the one on my front as I kick him into the one gasping for air knocking them both down. I grab my bat from my holster and charge it with kinetic energy as it starts sparking purple now as I use it to deflect a strike from another mega goon as I slam the mace into their side knocking them through the wall and into the great outdoors. I then spot one of the mega reaching for one of the rail guns as I take a breath and fire out a bolt of cold air freezing there hand. I wag my finger left to right as the last five run towards me as I grip my fists around my weapons.
I block a strike going for the side of my head then I deflect one going for my knee, then one going for my side and two going for my head again. They're trying to overwhelm me trying to make me slip up so they can beat me down but even if they got good gear and probably amazing training I’m going to wake them up. I rush forward and slam both my weapons down on two of the mega goons in the front. They are able to block just in time but before anyone could attack I start pushing the two into the other three as I start pushing the whole group. They fail to push back as I get them to the edge of the train car as I take a deep breath and I feel the sparks build up In my throat and I let out a blast of lightning that travels between each one of them and they drop to the floor.
I let out a sigh I didn’t even know I was holding in as I leaned against one of the walls that doesn’t have a hole in it. I look at all the mega goons. Five were burnt toast, three were unconscious, one was in the forest and the last one was standing up and pointing an already firing railgun while giving me the bird. I pull out the thunder bat as I get into a batters stance and with a BOOM the metal spike flies at me. With all my might I turn and swing the bat as it bursts with purple sparks as I feel the impact. I feel the force nearly snap my wrist as I grit my teeth as I turn my hands to steel and with a roar of effort I force the spike upwards as it goes fucking wide and bursts through the ceiling and into the sky.
I marvel at The sight as I turn to see the mega goon run at me with a mace in his as I shake my head side to side. I pull out my pistol and shoot the goon in the head as the bullet doesn’t go through the helmet but it does knock them out as they flop to the ground. I walk over to the mega goons as I take another two maces and holster them into my belt as I grab a railgun as I holster my bat and walk to the next car.
The next couple cars are filled with the mega goon armors, maces and rail guns enough to arm a small army as I get to what I think is the last car. I enter the room as there stands the two silver cylinders I saw from earlier and someone standing near them. They wore the same gear as the mega goons but with much denser and heavier places and their cross visor had more of a darker glow to it along with a similar glowing cross design on their chest. They also wore heavier and more plated looking gauntlets with red gems on each knuckle along with a magnum with a foot long square barrel and a glowing red line on it.
“I thought you would take longer to get here but I guess that’s what happens when you give advance gear to some mercs, it's just a waste of resources” The commander had a deep robotic voice as they opened their arms in a welcoming manner.
“So you're the new holder? Definitely one of the best assimilation of the power so far it took months for others like you to handle that power but you’ve gotten this strong only in a week or two hehehe it’s just impressive to see” this fuck knows what’s going on with everything related to when I found steel drake in one of those damn containers so I need them alive, doesn’t mean they needs all there limbs to talk.
“So I’m guessing you're not just gonna tell me what I want to know?”.
“And he finally speaks! hahahahahahahahaha but yeah I’m not gonna tell you everything you're right about that and I have to capture you because Mr and Mrs bitch aka my bosses really want what you stole”.
“Hey I didn’t steal anything hell I didn’t even choose to have this”.
“But you're still using them and seemingly having a blast too” there not wrong.
“So my dear friend let's just stop chatting and start trying to beat the shit out of each other, good good” and with that he pulls out his magnum and I aim my railgun as we both fire. A glowing red bullet fires from that magnum as it sparks with the same scarlet energy as it collides with the railgun shots and as soon as they collide they cause a small explosion. Before the smoke can clear the commander pieces through the smoke and only in a second is already in front of me.
Before I could even react they ripped the gun out of my hand and slammed a palm into my chest. I feel the plates from my bullet proof vest bend like paper as I’m launched into the next car. “Sorry I’m the only one who gets to have a big gun” The commander says as they pat their magnum at their side and then proceed to snap the rail gun into two as I pull out the maces and sprint towards them.
Their gauntlets glow with the same scarlet energy as they lift up their right form and block the mace strike only being pushed back a couple inches. I try going for a strike to the liver but they bash away the mace with one of their gauntlets as they shoot out a kick calf kick that I’m barely able to jump over. The second I leave the air they grab me by the hood and swing me into the wall denting it and before I could even think the commander is already going for a punch straight to the dome. I shoot up my arms to activate my kinetic shields as I feel my arms get pushed into me as I get nearly pushed through the wall. I release some of the stored kinetic energy as I shove them away with a purple pulse as I take breath and I fire a pressurized blast of water.
The water beam slams into their chest forcing them backwards as their chest armor starts to crack and as soon as the stream ends as I run forward. I go for a strike against the sides of their head but they shoot up their hands and grab the mace. They shove my arms backwards as they roundhouse kick me in the ribs as I feel their steel boots crack my ribs as I’m thrown to the end of the car. I hold my side as I feel my shattered ribs as it becomes harder to breath as I turn to see the commander running at me. They seem faster as they run towards me as They jump into the air and go for a slam as I feel everything slow down as I jump out of the way.
They dent the ground as I feel my ribs already nearly healed. “Really all this got? I’m severely disappointed. Come on, show me what you got!” I grit my teeth and with some effort throw several explosive bearings at them as I rush forward. They lift up their arms in a cross guard as the explosion hits them as I jump over them before the smoke could clear. I then spin around as I turn my hands and half my forearm to steel as I go for a strike right to their back. As if they had eyes on the back of their head they turn around and lift their arms as The mace's impact with the gauntlets creates a scarlet pulse launching us both back.
I take a deep breath as I fire a large earth spike at the commander as they rush forward and slam their gauntlets into it shattering it but just as they destroy the spike I jump forward and slam my now steel knees into their helmet. A large dent is left in their helmet and some of the glass on their visors cracks and when I fall to the floor I sweep their legs. They fall to the floor as I then slam my both maces down like meteors before they could guard. “Khoff!” I hear the cough up some blood as the maces slam into their stomachs as armor on their abdominal area shatters, FUCK YEAH THAT”S WHAT I”M TALKING ABOUT BABY!.
I Take several seconds to breath but before I could rest further I feel a fist slam into the right side of my head and another to my left. I feel my skull nearly crack as I feel my googles shatter as I feel blood pouring down from the sides of my head as everything goes a tinge of red as my eyes as several blood vessels pop in my eyes. “Really? You thought that would take me down? woooow I’m hurt by how little you think of me” they grab me by the head and quickly lift me up until I’m face to face with them. “Now let me get it through your” they pull back their head, “thick skull!” as they slam their head into mine as I turn my head into steel at the last moment but I still feel my skull crack a bit as I take several step backwards as I feel blood gush down my face as I look up and see part of their helmet break off as I see a golden pupil-less eye stares back me.
“Guess a thick skull is pretty useful” and as soon as they finish their sentence they rush towards me as I rip off my goggles and hold the maces up as I slow down my perception and reaction time to its limits. They go for a heavy hook for my right temple but I side step them and go for a strike against the back of their skull. They turn the second I go for the swing as they grab the mace and catch me with a kick right to the gut knocking me back a couple feet and they toss the mace behind them.
With all my might I throw the other mace at them, they are able to easily dodge it but it bounces off a wall and hits them in the back of the head causing them to stumble as I put my kinetic gauntlets on max power as I run forward. In only a second I’m already in front of them as I slam my fist into their liver causing them to stagger back as I spin kick them right in the neck. “Finally some good old hand to hand never gets old!” they leap forward and overhand strike. I immediately shoot up arms to block but they shoot out there knee hitting me in the solar plexus, fuck they feinted me. They go to grab me by the head again but I grip my teeth as I smack away their hands and grab them by the head, slam them into a wall and I immediately throw several jabs striking them in the jaw, left shoulder and stomach. My elbow turns to steel as I slam it into their solar plexus as they hold their chest as I grab them by the waist, lift them up and slam them into the ground.
I go for a stomp not giving them a second to breath but they're able to grab my foot and toss me to the side. I land on my feet as they're already in front of me as they're already going for a flurry of blows. I block a right hook heading for my ribs then I smack away jabs to my already bleeding forehead and finally I grab there a kick going for my calf as I lift them over me and slam them into the ground. They roll out of the way of a stomp as they quickly stand up.
“Damn you're a better fighter than I thought, guess I gotta use this now” their gauntlet glows a bright scarlet as she throws a jab and a beam of energy shoots out. I jump to the right but my left arm gets grazed by the blast as I feel the skin burn and crack hell even I feel some of the skin on my arm turn to straight as I yell out in pain. I take several steps back as I rip off my left sleeve as I could see some of the skin on my arm goes with it as the air feels like little needles against my skin. I notice it’s not even healing quick at all as I duck under another blast from the commander as they're throwing out a series of jabs.
I jumped to the ceiling digging my claws into it as I noticed only my fingers turned to steel. I swing my forward landing behind the commander as I feel my hands turn fully steel now as I throw out a jab into their side knocking them away a couple feet. I think I’m figuring out their power but I just need to test one more thing. I run 20 feet backwards as I grab a bola and throw them at the commander. They Were able to blast it out of the air as I noticed there slower as I finally got there power. My guess is there is some sort of field where the closer you get to them the stronger they get while the further you move away from them your powers get weaker heh alpha type and enhancer mix. Explains why they’ve been tossing me around and rushing me so much trying to keep me off balance from constantly weakening me then strengthening themselves, smart.
I take a deep breath as I feel the heat build up in my chest and then rush into my throat as I fire out a fireball instead of a continuous stream. They fire another scarlet blast that collides with the fireball exploding as they meet. I dash through the explosion as I pull out two knives from my belt and hold my fingers down on triggers on the hilt as they glow a bright orange. I jumped into the air dodging another scarlet blast as I could feel the heat coming from it as I swipe at the commander's shoulders.
The knives cut through the commanders shoulders cutting through armor and flesh like butter, the injuries being immediately cauterized from the heat. When I land we both spin around as I slam the knives into their side as they dig their glowing hands into my side as I feel my flesh already burning. I shove my foot into their chest and kick off them as I leave my knives behind. I feel my skin on my sides crack and blood slowly oozes from the injuries as I turn my hands into the steel claws as I run forward. The commander fires another blast as I bash it away with a kinetic shield as I go for a slash at their unarmored stomach.
They smack away my clawed hand as they swing their arm out letting out a scarlet slash. I lift my arms up blocking the slash with my kinetic shields as I see dash towards my side and go for a liver shot. I turn my side to steel as their fist digs into me. I feel the force behind the hit but not the heat of the energy as I move back a bit. They rush forward and lift up their hand to blast my face but I bend backwards and shoot up my foot slamming my still tipped boot into their jaw knocking their head upwards. I then grab the knives still on their sides and rip the knives from his side, spraying blood across my hands as I flip the knives in my hand so that the blades are facing down as I slam them into the commander's feet. They throw a heavy hook at me as their gauntlets glow with a brighter scarlet light. I turn to the left as I turn my hands into steel and grab their form arm and then I grab their wrist as I force it down until I hear a satisfying snap as their wrist breaks and gets dislocated. “MOTHERFUCKER!” They scream in pain as I take advantage of this moment of distraction as I jump up in the air and spin kick them in the side of the head, shattering half of their helmet as they get flung in the next car.
I quickly head to the next car before my powers could start weakening as the commander is already up. I could see more of their face now as they had pale white skin with strands of bright golden hair falling out of the helmet as I could see a large burn scar near their cheek and dark gold eyes no pupils just golden irises. “I have to admit you earned my respect, you're a damn good fighter but there's one thing you don’t understand” they pull out their magnum as I run towards them and then they turn around and point at the car behind them. “MY BOSSES CARE MORE ABOUT CAPTURING YOU THEN ANYTHING ON THIS FUCKING TRAIN!!” as the glowing line on their gun turns orange as they fire an orange bullet as it pierces into the next car as I instantly remember that that's the car with all the weapons. BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOOOOM!! Several explosions go off as I feel the train shake as I’m flung onto my back. BOOOOOOOM!!! I hear one last explosion as I feel everything flip as I fall to the ceiling then I get flung to the wall and then the other one as I finally with a massive thud I get thrown out the train.
I slowly get up as I hear several more crashes around me. I stand up and see I’m in some sort of field as the train cars lay around the area as a circle of fire surrounds the area as I get a massive sense of deja view. I shake my head as I look around for the commander but before I can start my search I hear a bang as I feel a searing pain in my shoulder. As soon as I turn around the commander tackles me as they punch me across the face again and again. “Come on where's that fucking second wind!? You’ll make this boring if it just ends like this!” They go for another punch but I turn my face to steel as they pull their hand back before the next hit lands as I take a deep breath as I feel the cold build in my throat. I fire a blast of cold into their face freeing their helmet as I grab them by the shoulders and headbutt them shattering their helmet as I kick them several feet away from me.
I finally got a good look at their face, well her face. She had long golden hair with streaks of white in it all. Her face was littered with scars, one long burn scar going from her right cheek down her neck and a jagged scar going down her left eye all through her lip showing her some of her teeth even though her lips were close and finally ending at her chin. She smirked at me as the smirk turned to a manic grin as they stood up and wiped some blood away from their nose.
“Well if this isn’t cinematic I don’t know what is” she gestures around us as her voice as I heard her normal voice much more feminine and lighter.
“Well before we go for round two let me do something” She grabbed a red pill from her belt along with a black disk.
“These little items here are given to everyone worth a damn in my bosses organization. The disk lets me access the full capabilities of the armor and the pill is an enhanced form of titan” She then proceeds to place the disk on the cross on her chest as it glows black now and she takes the pill as her veins glow red along with her eyes. She then lifts up her fist and slams into the ground as I feel the earth beneath my feet shake as she makes a crater as she looks at me as her grins grow larger.
“One more thing before we start since you’ve seen my face fully it’s only fair I get to see yours since it’s good for us to remember what each other look like since only one of us is walking out of here” I felt my body shake as I realized I could die here that this lady could and might actually kill me. Don’t back down now, remember how much you’ve changed, how much you’ve grown, you're more than the kid who just runs, who doesn't face things head on and who hasn’t even fought once in his life . YOUR A FUCKING APEX PREDATOR! and they don’t run away so, they face their problems head on and fight until the very end so man up, put up your fists and rip this bitch throat out!
I take a deep breath as I feel my confidence grow as I pull down my hood and take off my face mask. I then licked the blood off my hands as I saw the inner workings of her body and finally I turned my kinetic gauntlets to full force as they glowed a bright purple. She grinned as we slowly circled each other like two wolves looking for the quickest way to get a killing blow as finally we ran at each other.
Purple met Scarlet as we clashed. We grip each other's hands as we both try to overpower the other. I was pushing myself to my limits to match her strength but she was strangers as I was getting pushed back. I decided that trying to match their new strength was a bad idea so I let go of their hands and spun around her as she charged forward as I took a deep breath and fired a blast of lighting.
They dodge the bolt of lighting as she was like a blur as she was already in front of me as she punched me in the gut. I felt something snap as I vomited out some blood as she grabbed me by the cuff of my hoodie, lifted me up and slammed me into the ground over and over. After a straight minute of getting to know the ground she spun around and threw me through a train car. I tried to get up but she was already grabbing me and slammed me into the train car as she started to pummel me at blinding speeds.
“Calm on show me why you're so important, why so many people want that power of yours SHOW ME!” I felt bruises covering my body. Most of my bones were broken. My body screamed at me to stop and I screamed at it to keep going. I dodge under one of her punches as I sliced my claws forward, slicing through her gut. Blood poured from her gut and she smiled at me “that's more like it”. Her gauntlets glowed scarlet as she pressed them against her stomach sealing the wound with a hiss as she then runs towards me.
Several blinding strikes came towards me as I turned my dials to the limit as I felt my brain reach its limit as I felt my eyes, nose and ears start to bleed. I could see her now as I saw her muscles and muscles moving, the signals going through her body. I weaved through her strikes as I slammed my fist into her jaw and then I threw a series of jabs at her hitting her shoulder, stomach and finally liver. It felt like I was punching steel even with my fists fully turned to steel, I felt cracks in my knuckles but the damage was mutual. Her armor plates were cracking and I could see blood pour from her mouth as she grabbed my fist and pulled me towards as she kneed me in the gut.
I grit my teeth as I feel more blood enter my mouth as I dodge an axe kick as I pun around and kick her in the face. She grabbed my leg and pulled in again as she punched me in the jaw but even though I turned it to steel but I still felt my brain rattle around in my head as she threw me again. I landed on my feet as I fired the strongest blast of flames I’ve ever mustered in my flame, coating the half of the battle ground in flames as the edges had a blue color. She grabbed a scrap of metal as she ran through the flames protecting most of her body even her hands thanks to her gauntlets.
She threw the melted piece of metal at me as I blasted it away from a tunnel of wind as she got in close once again. We both launched a barrage of punches at each other both dodging the other as the area around us was constantly being coated in red and purple as we ended the flurry by punching each other in the face.
We both stepped back from the blow as blood was flooding from our noses as we both stepped forward and hit each other again. We stopped trying to dodge as we hammered into each other. I felt my bones snap, my muscles rip and several blood vessels pop but I didn't back down no I matched her every blow. We uppercut each other as I felt my teeth crack as I grabbed her by the head and slammed her face into my knee painting my knee red. I then with all my might I slammed her into the ground and stomped on her chest. She grabbed my leg with her finlets as I felt my flesh sear and burn as I jumped backwards. She quickly jumped up as I took a deep breath and shot out a beam of pure electricity. She jumped out the way as it flew past her but when it hit against some metal and bounced off it hitting her right in the back stunning her. I guess I could ricochet anything even my breaths welp time to abuse this.
I took another deep breath as I fired out a blast of flames that she dodge but it bounced off a train car and hit her in the side. I kept firing all my different breath weapon until i felt my throat reach its limits as The commander armor was torn to shreds burnt, wet and even frozen as she throw a blast a dual blast of scarlet energy hitting me right in the chest as I feel my chest cavity crack and as the plates in my bullet proof vest melt as I flew across the battlefield as cracked against the ground. I ripped the searing hot metal off my chest as I tossed to the side and hopped onto my feet as The commander charged into my slamming into the train car knocking it back. I feel the metal shatter as she punches me in the ribs, shattering them more.
I extended my claws as I stabbed them into her back and dragged them across it drenching it in blood. She roared in anger as slammed me further into the train car ripping through it as she slammed into the ceiling and back outside. I rolled onto my feet as she rushed at me as she went for a punch but I grabbed it and I went for a punch but grabbed my fist in return. We grabbed each other's hands so tightly as blood poured from our hands as we dug our fingers into each other's hand. She tried to push me back but this time I wasn’t backing down as we matched each other's strength as neither of us made progress.
As if on cue we both pulled our heads back and headbutted each other causing more blood to rush down our faces as we pulled our heads back again and slammed them into each other over and over until It felt like my skull was close to shattering. She opened her mouth and sunk her teeth into my left shoulder , blood gushing into her mouth. I felt my teeth become razor sharp as I bit her right shoulder as blood sprayed onto my face. We both pulled back ripping chunks out of each other as I kicked her away as I grabbed my thunder bat off my back and charged with as much kinetic energy as possible and had it flow all the way to the end. She ran at me as the tip of the bat glowed with a massive amount of kinetic energy. I then pulled my arm back and shot the bat forward like a spear and a condense blast of kinetic energy shot into shattering the rest of her armor and most of her bones as she rocket towards the train car knocking it over. I saw the thunderbat was steaming as it stop glowing as it probably got overloaded from using all that energy as I toss it to the side
She got up vomiting blood as she bent her arm into place she then grabbed the train car and slowly lifted it up and turned to me as she yelled in exertion as she threw it at me. I pulled my arm back and with all my might I punched the train car chattering it to pieces along with every bone in my right arm. We both stood there huffing and breathing hard as we both knew it was time to finish this. I slammed my right first into my left arm putting as much kinetic energy into the gauntlet as it shined with purple light while the commander grip her right fist so tightly I could see it breaking as she rushed towards as only in a singular second we were already in front of each as I felt my leg bones crack from using so much force.
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” We both yelled at each other, challenging the other one to give it all they got as we shot our fist towards each other. She hit me first hitting on the left side of my face as I felt my teeth break, my jaw shatter and my cheek skin rip. I nearly went unconscious but I used every bit of will I had to step forward and hit with everything I got. As my fist collided with her stomach a shockwave appeared from the strike blowing air over the whole area as I felt my fist punch through her gut coating my arm in blood as she got launched upwards in the air about twenty feet and hit the ground with a loud thud.
I fell to my knees as I felt my heart beat out of my chest as after a couple minutes I felt healed enough to where I could at least kinda move. I walked over to the commander. She was somehow still only unconscious as the hole in her stomach had slowly healed a bit but she needed medical attention or she might not make it. Welp boss completed time to loot as I took her gauntlets and her magnum. I held up the magnum as I was tempted to finish her off, It would be the smart thing to do.
I pointed the gun at her head at her head as I felt my finger slowly push against the trigger but I stopped. I shook my head, I needed her alive to get info so I grabbed her but something happened. Her body glowed with a red light as in a slash she vanished………………you gotta be kidding me. I sighed as I looked around and saw no one nearby guess whoever these guys are got a long range teleporter that's definitely not bullshit. I look around the area as I find my thunderbat differently needing repairs and some gear that managed to survive. A couple maces some mostly fine railguns and some armors that were in ok conditions.
I thought about how I can sue this stuff to make much better gear and even a full on set of armor maybe even combine the kinetic gauntlets with those scarlet gauntlets maybe I can mix the maces into the thunder bat maybe turn into a staff maybe one that splits into two escrima sticks. I pushed away the ideas that flooded my mind as I stared at the tech as I remembered the silver cylinders. I stumble around as eventually I find the car that holds the cylinders I stumble and see still in perfect condition.
I pray that I Don’t find more bodies of famous heroes and I get mental flash banged. I open the cylinder and a small amount of mist comes out as instead of a body hook up to machines I find vials filled with a scarlet red liquid with gold accents. I gently hold one of them up as one the side it simply says EVO. I’m tempted to drink it to see what it does but the smart side of me shoots that idea down as I don’t know what this stuff can do for all I know it could be a deadly virus and that's the last thing I need.
I check the other cylinder and it's also filled with those vials with both containers having 24 vials in total. I grab them all in and hold them as I walk outside and over to the pile of stuff I found. I wonder how I’m gonna carry all this wish I had a backpack or something. I then hear the sound of a chest opening in the back of my head as all the vials in my arms disappear as I hear the sound of a chest closing, what the?
I stand there for several seconds trying to figure out what happened until I try imagining a chest opening and the vials appear in my arms perfectly fine. I try this out with the rest of the gear I found and it all disappears and appears perfectly fine huh neat. Guess I got a pocket space I can store stuff now that gonna be very useful as I store all my gear away along with the weapons I found and those vials as I start stumbling away from the area.
I feel no weight, physical or mental, from having all this stuff in my storage, I guess it's got no limit. Speaking of limits, I fall over after 10 feet as I stop feeling the rush of adrenaline as my body gives out. I feel pure exhaustion flood through my very being as I lay there. I can’t even move an inch as I start to feel how damaged my body is as I feel my muscles stop tensing and I start to bleed out. Everything starts to get blurry as I feel my consciousness start to leave me but before I pass out I hear what sounds like a car driving nearby that then stops. The last thing I see is a very blurry set of figures walk over and start dragging me as I feel everything go black and I fall into sweet unconsciousness.
