3 Well, what did you expect?

"Wait, it's next chapter already?" whined Apollo as he scrolls through his phone for ways to defeat Eros.

Eros nodded his head and took a fighting stance once more. Apollo also took a defensive stance waiting for Eros' next move. They both watched each other intently, their entire body tense in anticipation.

20 seconds have passed.

1 minute has passed.

3 minutes have passed.

"Hey, are you going to attack or what?" They both said in unison. Both of them flinched for a second before relaxing their bodies.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!

In the instant that they both let their guards down, both of them instantly rushed towards each other. Their first colliding and creating a shockwave that blew away any standing building within a kilometer's radius. "Well I'd call that exaggeration, but its true."

"Stop talking to the author, while fighting me!" Eros said angrily. He stopped for a millisecond and started an onslaught of blows towards Apollo.

Apollo countered each blow with his own, matching Eros in power and speed. Each strike was at the speed of light yet both were casually intercepting each punch like it was normal.

Each collision from their punches created shockwaves with the force of an atomic bomb. Those alive that can witness this spectacle were sure to remember this moment. Two figures that looked like they were standing still were exchanging a hundred blows per second.

Eros was smiling very wide. This new found power of his was his dream ever since he started hating the world for what it has become. But, still it wasn't enough to overcome the wall he is currently facing, Apollo. He was still getting used to this power, it was impossible to overcome Apollo. Dominating the world will be as easy as taking candy from a baby, he thought to himself, until he thought of something greater.

"APOLLO! I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT TAKE OVER THE WORLD ANYMORE." Eros shouted his smile still as wide as ever.

"What? Are you going to pull the sad backstory of a villain on me and gain sympathy from the readers?" Apollo mocked Eros for being a cliché villain.

Eros flinched, they were still exchanging blows so this was a moment of weakness. Apollo quickly exploited this and landed a huge blow on Eros decimating his entire left arm.

Eros fell to his knees, clutching what was left of his left arm. His face showed pain, but his smile was still as wide as ever.

"I should probably finish you off." said Apollo casually, lifting his fist in the air preparing to strike down Eros.

SSSSSSSHHHHHHIIIIIKKK

Eros disappeared from his place and a gust of wind blew towards Apollo. Apollo tried to look for Eros until, he found him as he glanced towards his right side.

"K-kuh..." Apollo tried to speak but ended up coughing blood instead. He looked down towards his body and noticed that Eros' right hand has cleanly impaled him in the stomach.

"That cocky attitude of yours is your downfall, Apollo." scolded Eros, as he slowly dug his hand deeper into Apollo's body. Apollo gritted his teeth as blood kept pouring out of his stomach and mouth.

SSSSSSSSUKK

Eros removed his hand inside Apollo's body. A clean hole could be seen on his stomach as he stood still from shock. After a few seconds, Apollo fell to the ground.

"This is what they call a plot twist, Apollo." mocked Eros as Apollo lays on the ground, unmoving, "As I've said. I don't plan on taking over the world anymore. I yearn for something greater..." said Eros while moving his hand to remove the blood of Apollo that stained it, "...and that is, To take over this Novel instead." He said in a grim tone.

He looked towards Apollo waiting for a response, but nothing happened, "You said you were the protagonist, but you already lost in 3 chapters. How pitiful." said Eros condescendingly.

Rumble rumble rumble.....

As Eros was about to look away from Apollo, the ground started shaking. Eros knew it couldn't be over with just this. He waited for the phenomenon to reach its climax.

Apollo's body suddenly shone with a bright light, and his figure started to float in the air. The blinding light that surrounded Apollo, seemed like a lie as it suddenly disappeared, with Apollo nowhere to be seen.

"I know you're behind me." said Eros casually, while distorting space from behind him so he could defend himself from Apollo's attack.

KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKK

Apollo teared the distorted space behind Eros with ease creating a ripping sound. He instantly bent the space around Eros incapacitating him, leaving him unable to defend himself.

"...and this is what they call Plot Armor." said Apollo as he slowly walked in front of Eros to face him, "Hey, twenty bucks if he says 'Impossible'" he whispered to himself.

Apollo looked at Eros' face which was filled with fear and confusion, "I-IMPOSSIBLE!" Eros shouted, trying his best to move his entire body but the space only made him capable of moving his mouth and eyes. "Ka-ching."

"I told you, I'm the main character. No matter how strong the enemy's attack is, It can't penetrate the armor I'm wearing." said Apollo, while tapping his chest.

Eros was slowly gaining control of the space he was entrapped in, but Apollo was oblivious of this as he was too busy babbling about himself.

"Mark my words, Apollo. I'll be taking over this novel whether you like it or not. You will die by my hands." cursed Eros, angrily. Apollo didn't hear a single thing he said, he was still not finished talking about himself.

After a few minutes of incessant monologuing of Apollo, he turned to look at Eros.

"Hey, you didn't write what I was talking about? That hurts, man." grumbled Apollo, turning his mask upside down to resemble a frown, "Anyways, since you're trying to take the spotlight from me, I really need to end you."

Apollo raised his fist and clenched it. The space around Eros started to crush him, but Apollo didn't know he'd already taken control of it.

Eros feigned pain and screamed his lungs out to make it more realistic. He was manipulating the space around him to make it look like he really was getting crushed, in reality he was slowly slipping away into a different dimension.

After a few seconds, Apollo released his clenched fist and let out a sigh. A ball the size of a marble was left in where Eros was. Apollo picked up the marble and thought it was disgusting since it contained the whole body of Eros. The marble was extremely heavy for its size. Apollo thought of a good idea.

He decided to keep the marble and use it for justice, "I'll throw you at enemies so that you can be a hero like me too," he whispered to the marble, throwing it in the air and catching it as he walked away from the carnage him and Eros created while battling, "Oh, right I forgot something."

He stopped at where he was and looked up. He waved his hand as if he was bidding goodbye and shouted, "I'LL SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER!" before disappearing in the air.

---------------------------------------------

"Damn you, Apollo. I'll get my revenge just you wait." said Eros coldly. He was in the middle of nowhere and was currently lost. He was clutching the stump of what was his left arm, while wandering aimlessly.

Tak. Tak. Tak.

Footsteps could be heard echoing through the cave. A woman with brown hair, porcelain like skin and eyes that could mesmerize those who gazed upon them. Her lips were pink and luscious and she sported a fine figure.

She sat down on the cold hard floor and took out water from the bag she was carrying. She looked up the cavernous ceiling and wondered to herself.

"Is this the next chapter he was talking about?" said Lyra, thinking out loud.

After a few minutes of resting, she stood up and continued to wander around the cave, searching for the man who stole her heart. Apollo.
