NOVEL WEB Killer Adam activated
Adam woke up gasping for air, lying on his back on the ground. He looked at the sky, struggling to see clearly through the long trees. Memories of what happened flooded back.
As Adam almost made contact with Daniel, the flames on his hand went out. An explosion ensued, pushing the auctioneer and the girl backward with a powerful force of wind. Daniel stood firm while Adam was thrown into the air, his shoulder and arm breaking, causing excruciating pain.
Using his left hand, Adam struggled to get up, letting out a moan as he unwillingly moved his broken right hand.
"It's not healing. It's broken. It's so painful. I don’t think I can win like this," Adam thought.
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in his head.
"You dumb ass. Instead of letting me take control, you just used my advice as determination for this battle," Killer Adam said.
Adam stared at Daniel, who was breathing heavily, his right hand black with a smoky gas emanating from it.
"He got up? This guy is... Wow, kid, color me impressed. Your healing has stopped, so it’s over. What’s he mumbling over there?" Daniel said.
"Wait, you mean take control? I thought you said become one. I mean, I felt stronger when I woke up," Adam responded.
"No, that was all you. Say the word and I’ll get us out of here," Killer Adam replied.
Adam glanced at the building and saw the girl standing there.
"He’s hurt. He’s not gonna make it," the girl muttered.
"Okay, I’ll do it. Oh, save the girl, okay?" Adam said.
"Huh? Whatever you say," Killer Adam replied.
"One last punch. I can’t believe I used this move on a kid. I’m about to use it again," Daniel said, running at Adam at 180 miles per hour, clenching his fist.
"Killer Adam, activate," Adam commanded.
Adam’s eyes glowed bright orange as Killer Adam took over. Daniel threw his fist, roaring with effort.
Killer Adam smiled as he caught it with his right hand.
"What the hell? What? How did..." Daniel stammered.
Daniel tried to pull his hand away but couldn’t. He looked at Adam but sensed a different aura. Suddenly, Daniel was pulled in and received a fist to the nose. He was hit again and again.
Killer Adam pulled Daniel in and delivered a punch to the gut, sending him into the air.
"He keeps hitting me before I can react," Daniel thought.
Before Daniel could hit the ground, Killer Adam ran at 360 miles per hour, grabbed him by the face, and smashed through every wall in the building, coming out the back.
He let Daniel go, pushing him away. Daniel dropped on his back.
The girl ran up to Adam, but suddenly the auctioneer held her hostage, a knife to her neck.
"K-kill him and she dies. I’m not gonna kill her. She’s too valuable," the auctioneer stammered.
Killer Adam turned to look at the auctioneer, overwhelming him with bloodlust. The auctioneer started shaking.
The girl removed her gloves and touched the auctioneer’s hand. He screamed in pain as his whole body turned to gold, frozen like a statue. She stepped away from him.
Killer Adam smiled, turning to Daniel. Daniel stood up, but his legs were shaking. He puked blood and had a bloody nose.
"This kid is a monster on his own. I’m about to die. I need a drink," Daniel thought.
"He just wanted some food and water. Then he ran into you bastards," Killer Adam chuckled. "Worst day of your lives."
Daniel laughed.
"What’s so funny?" Killer Adam asked.
"I knew it. You’re not really him, are you? The relic messed with the kid’s head. Reminds me of someone," Daniel said.
"Just die," Killer Adam said, holding out his hand as a ball of flame appeared. He launched it at Daniel.
Daniel smiled as the ball hit him and exploded.
Killer Adam turned to the girl and smiled. Suddenly, he felt pain in his head.
"Dang it, man, not now," Killer Adam groaned.
Adam came back, seeing the girl and the devastated building behind her.
"Whoa, did I... Did he...," Adam mumbled, his vision blurring. He dropped down and fainted.
The girl put him on her back.
"Thank you. I have to get him to DMR," she said, rushing away at 120 km per hour.
