The Extra Wants Control

A clash of lightning, blue and dark red continued.

Kai, a living lightning, unleashed devastating blows after blows, each coated with lightning but were met with equally heavy amd almost as fast counters of Neveah's dark-red flames. The ground beneath was being destroyed with every clash due to the sheer power of their exchange. Sonic booms echoed in the air, the aftereffects of their lightning-fast movements.

The fight raged on, the very sky seemed to respond in kind. Dark clouds hovered mad gathered overhead, obscuring the ever-dark sky and casting the city in an ominous flashes of blue and red hues.

" Rumble.... Rumble... Remble." Thunder rumbled.

While Kai fought with great ferocity, he knew he was running out of time he couldn't keep that form for long.

Meanwhile, Neveah's movements became better, more precise, faster and more calculated.

He began to anticipate Kai's fast strikes, dodging deflecting and countering with equal if not heavier attacks... And he was catching upto Kai's pace.

Kai then focused all his remaining energy on speed. He became a blue bolt shooting towards Neveah. His fist crackling and hot aimed for a devastating blow.

It was bound to be a great final attack...

But Neveah caught Kai's fist in his bare hand. The impact was immediate, a shockwave rippling outwards from their point of contact.

" What!?" A gasp escaped from Kai's lips as something VERY unexpected happened.

The blue lightning, upon coming to contact with Neveah's hand, underwent a transformation.

Instead of blowing up, destroying or atleast burning his flesh.or breaking some bones, the energy paused, pulsated for a brief moment before being changed dark-red lightning.

The lightning then got absorbed and changes into a dark red substance materialized, coating Neveah's hand like a solidified glove.

And then...

" BOOOOOOM!" a thunderous sound that shook the very foundations of the buildings of the city and a blinding red light erupted from Neveah's body.

It was complete. He had absorbed enough, learned enough. He had forged a new power mid-fight.

Neveah then unleashed a final and brutal assault upon Kai. He launched himself towards Kai, delivering a devastating kick that sent the vampire shooting upwards.

" Kwakkhkkh.." Kai coughed up blood.

Before Kai could even stabilize himself, Neveah reappeared above him, his hands held and now encased in the solidified dark-red lightning+fire, hammered into Kai's back with great force that broke something... sending him crashing back down towards the ground.

Unfortunately Neveah wasn't finished. He wasn't even close... It was payback time... Fast movement around Kai's falling body like in every angle in movement as if he was teleporting.

Punches and kicks rained down on the vampire's body with heavy thuds.

Kai was like a ragdoll, a punching doll for Neveah's relentless assault his time was up and his supercharged self drained... Kai could only offer an instinctive defense. He managed to raise a hands to cover his head, his body crouched up mid-air, but his defense and bones were shattered.

Finally it stopped. Kai's body, battered and broken plopped to the ground. Fortunately he was just unconscious,and not dead.

"Kaiii! Nooooo!"

A sudden scream was heard. It was a pain filled shriek of agony and rage, ripping night. Neveah turned towards the source, his crimson eyes narrowing.

There, amidst the carnage, stood a figure – the cautious thief from the earlier encounter.

Tears streamed down his face. Snot dripped from his nose. With a sobs and snotty cries, he ran towards Kai.

"Kaiii! Nooooo!" he yelled again, amd since Neveah was in the same direction as Kai, he looked at Neveah while he was running and he said. "I will kill you! I promise… I will kill you!"

He charged towards Kai, maybe towards Neveah, honestly only he himself knew whether he was running towards his broken brother or the black masked enemy that caused it.

Before he could get close, Kai's body flinched on the ground. He slowly blinked his eyes open, the blurry world coming into focus.

He saw a figure approaching him, yelling Kai, it was his brother, and he was cussing at Neveah saying he would kill him. Kai tried to stop him by talking but his body didn't respond only groans came out. His regeneration was too slow.

Then it happened, something that made Kai's face pale in horror. He watched in a sickening slow-motion as Neveah materialized beside his brother.

A hoarse bloody cry, "Nooo! Cough... Fred! Cough." tore from his throat as he coughed up blood his body was so messed up that even coughing was painful.

Kai watched as the silent black masked man raised his hand and it coated with dark lightning maybe flames it didn't matter what mattered was that,it was aimed for a killing blow, and he knew his brother wouldn't survive.

Kai's entire body screamed in protest as he tried to move. Every muscle felt painful and unresponsive."get up… get up… get up,get up… get up… get up,get up… get up… GET UP,GET UP… GET UP… GET UP DAMNIT. GET UP. PLEASE GET UP." he chanted in his mind tears flowing from his eyes.

Then movement, it was his hand.

He struggled and clenched it into a fist, then started punching the ground with a primal. "GET UP! GET UP!" he said internally with the final words coming out of his mouth, willing and wishing for his body to obey.

When it couldn't, He decides to crawl, a pathetic attempt to cover the distance separating him from his brother.

But how would that help? Just as Kai clawed his way forward, a sickening splatter of crimson erupted from the place Neveah and Fred were. "Nooo! Frrrrrreeeeedddd... FUCK!" Kai's scream echoed through the night as his crawling arms clenched into a fist scooping up some dirt he then Punch the ground.

But then while he was in strating to grieve, "cough!" It shattered the nightmare that was unfolding before Kai.

Fred, his clothes stained with blood, was coughing up blood that accidentally got into his mouth when he was shouting amd crying, he was unharmed and undeniably alive. Neveah, for reasons unknown, didn't target him.

Confusion and relief flooded Kai's mind. "Then what did he attack?" he thought, his brain struggling to process amd piece together the bizarre turn of events.

Fred, saw Kai and continued moving. Je was still confused and definitely scared but he kept moving... Leaving behind the silent black masked man.

Just as he reached his brother's side, a blinding red flash shone through the dark night and hit Neveah's body which vanished from where it stood.

A loud crack rang out. The ground where Neveah had been standing a moment before erupted in a crater, scorched red earth smoking and had red fault lines.

Kai and Fred hugged, well Fred hugged Kai... but they both stared at the crater left in silence.

"Kai!" Fred finally sobbed, tightly hugging Kai.

"You're alright… you're alright." Fred kept repeating with relief and tears.

.

Kai was also relieved that Fred was okay but he didn't say it aloud nor did he cry... He had his big brother image to protect.

" You know once I saw father fall from the sky when he ran out of mana suddenly... Once he saw that I saw him he told me, " can you jump like that from that height." Hahahaha." Kai said to cheer the mood.

" Haha.. sob.. haha..sniffhahaha." laughed Fred, " father was always like that a he didn't show any weakness." He said.

" Yeah..." Said Fred.
