Chapter 2 - It's Going Down Now

"Call me Anakiss." The creature says as it lunged at me with full force. 

I cover myself with my arms as Anakiss hits me. I blocked the shot, but a few seconds after hitting me, the impact travelled through my arms and to my chest, knocking me back about 5 meters. 

Anakiss seemingly teleports to me using his insane speed, and starts throwing haymaker, after haymaker, after haymaker. 

He's throwing his punches out so fast! Wouldn't he get tired after a while? 

I keep blocking myself as the creature gets annoyed. 

"Fight." Anakiss says, needing no more explanation on what his point was. 

"I-I'm weak though..." I say, my knees shaking like it was a Friday night on the dance floor. 

"Wrong." Anakiss says, "Once one has obtained a Spectral, they get an increase in power, speed, strength, durability, and they practically master combat almost instantly." 

"I know we've been fighting for about 30 seconds now, but shall we spice it up a bit?" Anakiss asserts, lunging at me as he kicks me into a sky scraper not too far from where we were. 

I go flying straight through the sky scraper with cuts and bruises all over my body. 

"Thank god I had that increased durability..." I say, as the creature appears in front of me using his insane speed, and clenches his hands together to smash me into the ground from 80 meters in the air. 

"I'LL DESTROY TOKYO!!" Anakiss yells out, his voice probably reaching the heavens. 

I can feel my strength, and I can feel his strength... he's like 75 times more powerful than me... 

I hit the ground, blood spewing out of my mouth. But it wasn't over, as the force of the impact made me ricochet off the ground and back into the air. 

How am I not dead? I was planning to end myself about a minute and half ago, but... "THIS IS EXCITING!!!" 

We then cut to an office building. The vibe was chill, with people doing their own things. Fingers clicked on keyboards, sips of coffee could be heard, chatter and laughter filled the room. 

A middle aged man walked past the window, giving a full view of the beautiful city of Tokyo. The man was going to print some papers when he saw two figures going full force towards the building. They were going too fast that he couldn't make out their faces, but he saw one with red skin. 

They crash through the window before he could react, killing everyone on that floor due to the force of the impact. 

I'm not the boy I was 2 minutes ago. I feel a rush in my system... A rush that's telling me to keep going. 

"NOT GONNA LIE ANAKISS, I WAS THINKING YOU WERE STRONG, BUT NOW THAT WE'RE FIGHTING, I REALISED YOU'RE WEAK AS SHIT! AT LEAST USE YOUR UNIQUE ABILITY!" I yell in excitement as we exit the building, flying towards another one. 

"THAT'S PRETTY RICH COMING FROM A BRAT WHO CAN'T LAND A SINGLE BLOW ON ME!" Anakiss screams as we land on the office building's windows, not shattering it like we did last time. 

We start throwing hands on the building, except we were vertical. Yup, we were fighting side ways. 

"HEY LUKE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR ABOUT 50 SECONDS NOW!! THAT'S A RECORD NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE ACHIEVED WHEN FACED AGAINST ME!!" 

This guy is seriously might destroy Tokyo, but... I LIKE THE ENERGY HE'S GIVING OFF! 

51 Seconds 

With absolute confidence brimming in my voice, I boldly challenge, "YOU GONNA ACTUALLY DAMAGE ME, OR ARE WE GONNA PLAY LITTLE KID GAMES ALL DAY?" 

52 

"YEAH, YOU LITTLE ANNOYING BRAT! YOU'RE JUST A WEAK PUNK WHO HAPPENED TO GET LUCKY!" Anakiss laughs mockingly, his voice dripping with disdain as he taunts me relentlessly.

53 

With a sudden burst of energy, Anakiss propels himself forward, aggressively launching towards Luke with clear intent.

54 

Luke gathers his strength, winding up for a powerful punch, his muscles tensing in preparation for the strike.

55 

Anakiss increases his speed dramatically, propelling himself even faster towards Luke, cutting through the air with fierce determination. 

56 

As Anakiss closes the distance, Luke seizes the moment and unleashes his wound-up punch directly into Anakiss's skull. The impact is thunderous, causing immense damage as it connects with a devastating force.

57 

"F-FUCK YOU, BRAT! IF IT'S A FIGHT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, IT'S A FIGHT YOU'LL GET! I'M GONNA USE MY UNIQUE ABILITY!!" Anakiss asserts vehemently, his anger boiling over. With a furious swing, he punches Luke with such force that it sends him flying into the air, ultimately causing him to crash onto the roof with a resounding thud. 

58 

Anakiss lands heavily on the roof, his body coiled like a spring as he charges at Luke, who stands ready, his eyes locked on his adversary, prepared for whatever may come. Meanwhile, below them, the streets of Tokyo are filled with chaos; people are screaming at the top of their lungs, engulfed in panic and confusion, desperately trying to understand the source of the terrifying commotion above them.

59 

"ARE YOU READY FOR ME TO BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA YOU?" I ask in a smartass tone. "No, we're ending this fight." Anakiss says as he swipes his left hand in my general direction. 

"NUH UH!" I shout. 

"Unique Ability: Cut." Anakiss calmly remarks, the wind going quiet, the sounds of Tokyo civilians screaming in utter terror. 

1:00 

Suddenly, everything goes quiet. I feel my heart beating, getting slower each time. 

What's... going on...? 

Our eyes lock. 

"I feel... funny..." I remark. 

I look down to see I've been cut in half. "Ah," 

My upper body falls to the ground, while the lower part of my body still was standing. 

Before my vision faded, I saw Anakiss walking up to the lower part of my body and kicking it over, officially ending the fight. 

1:01 

"I've won."
