#5: Azer Vs Kaifer

A young man is laying on a mattress. A woman has her eyes fixated at him and so she moves her hand towards her waist.

"Ito ba ang nagligtas kay Anna mula sa kapahamakan?" she clicks her tongue, "sa unang tingin, hindi siya makakaligtas kahit nasa loob siya ng isang kagubatan."

Azer's eyes are beginning to move not until it opens; he moves his everywhere. 

"Teka… Nasaan ako?" he moves upward and sits on the mattress, "ang sakit ng aking ulo."

"Ang masakit walang ulo," the woman spoke once again.

"Sino ka?" Azer asked.

The young woman who's standing beside the mattress closes her eyes. She opens her lip a bit and takes a deep breath.

"Lifia ang aking pangalan," she remains looking at him, "mamaya ay pupunta ka sa alkalde para sa pagsusuri."

"Ikaw naman, Lifia," a man steps inward the room, "huwag mo naman masyadong pinag-iinitan ang baguhan."

Azer looks over to the man who spoke, and Azer rubs his hair. "Teka nga lang, ano ba ang nangyari?"

"Nakakatawa, peste." Lifia moved onwards to the doors. 

The man who entered the room remains looking at her while smiling slyly as he watches her go away. 

He turns toward Azer. "May ipapakiusap lamang ako baguhan."

Azer raises his brows. "Ano ba ang nais mo mong iparating?"

The man slides his hand inward the pocket of his pants and brings out a knife. Azer immediately moves backward, and then he flinches and rubs his back.

The man swings his knife on his palm and green fluid trickles from it. He moves his eyes toward Azer and witnesses his whole body trembling while his eyes are locked at his eyes. 

"Tila nanginginig ka riyan baguhan," he utters soft laughs, "huwag kang mangamba riyan, itong nakikita mong likido na umaapaw ay ang aking abilidad."

Azer's eyebrows contract as his eyes are narrowing at the man in front of him. "A-

Anong klaseng abilidad iyan?! Walang abilidad ang nananakit sa may-ari!" 

He points his hand on the ground. The green fluid drips from his palm and once it hits the wooden floor: green fluid evaporates onto thin air and it fills the entire room. 

The stranger's eyes radiate green light as he points his index finger at Azer. "Aking nakikita ang bawat parte ng iyong katawan. Buksan mo ang iyong magkabilang tenga.

"Ikaw ay makinig sa aking sasabihing mga salita: sa panahong ika'y magdulot ng kasiraan sa nayong ito, ako ang una at ang pinakahuling masisilayan at matatak diyan sa iyong isip."

The green air flies towards the eyes of the man as his size changes onto a bird. 

Azer pushes himself from the mattress, and he's moving with short unsteady steps as he gazes upon the bird with widened eyes.

"B-Baliw!" Azer began to sprint towards the door. 

He holds the door knob and pulls the door, and then he runs towards the stairs. He runs down on the group of flat small rectangular wooden platforms but his toes stumble over a piece of small rock. 

Azer continues to roll on the stairs down to the wooden floor of the living room. 

His eyes open as he's standing from his plunge. 

"Gising ka na pala, bayani." a young woman halted in front of him.

Azer looks at her yellow eyes, to her pair of bosoms, her curvaceous waist, and her thighs which are covered by skirt.

Azer brings out a rock, he looks at it and shakes his head then throws it forward. 

The rock passes through her forehead, and she utters soft laughs. "Ano bang ginagawa mo? Wala bang laman ang kokote mo para magbato ka nang bato sa isang taong may abilidad na tumagos sa pader?" 

Her lip curves upward and then she begins to walk towards Azer. He begins to step backwards while pointing his finger at her. 

Azer's back hits against a wooden wall, the woman stops walking in front of him and she begins to bend her foreleg while she's lowering herself in front of his eyes.

"Noong una kong masilayan ang iyong mukha ay aking napagtanto," she steps closer to him until both of them can feel each other's breath hitting each other's face, "na dapat kang mapasakin."

Azer's eyes are shaking along with his breath while looking straight into her eyes. "A-Ayaw ko pang mag-asawa."

Dillian's lip curves upward as she holds her chest while laughing audibly. Azer raises his eyebrows as Dillian is arising from crouching in front of him.

She stops laughing and extends her hand towards him and then Azer is staring at her hand.

She tells him. "Ikaw naman, binibiro lamang kita. Halika na sa kusina at kumain ka na, marami ka pang ipapaliwanag sa konseho."

"Konseho? Ano naman ang aking ginawang masama?" Azer stands up, "wala nga akong maalala na kahit ano bukod sa aking pangalan."

Meanwhile, a young woman crashes on the ground whilst a young man is floating on a higher level.

His white eyes are gazing upon the young woman whose hands are being surrounded by dark energy.

The young man raises his hand and a force of wind appears around Raven; the force of wind begins to move so fast around her not until the force of wind carries her at his level.

The door of the house moves forward, and Azer comes out from it yet a hand holds the collar of his shirt.

"Bitawan ninyo ako!" he's swinging his hands as he's running out of the house, "kawawa ang babaeng 'yon!"

Dillian, whose hand is firmly holding Azer's shoulder, is biting her lip while glaring at him.

She roars at him. "Huminahon ka! Baka ikaw naman ang pag-initan ni Kaifer!"

"Ayaw!" Azer yelled at her.

The collar breaks apart and Azer falls on the soil outside of the house as Dillian falls on the wooden ground.

Her eyes are broadening while staring at Azer who's standing while staring at the sky.

"Huwag mong pag-initan ng ulo ang isang babaeng wala naman ginagawa sa'yo!" he shouts at Kaifer, "humarap ka sa kapwa mong lalake! Harapin mo ako!"

A wind arrow hits the soil next to Azer and it bursts on the soil; the force of the explosion hits Azer and carries him towards the wooden wall of the house.

Azer begins to grit his teeth while standing up, and he looks directly at Kaifer. "Huwag mong sinusubukan ang aking pasensya! Lumapag ka't ako'y labanan!"

Kaifer moves his eyes toward the woman whose neck he's holding, and so he swings his hand as he releases the woman from his grasp.

Azer starts to run at great speed as his eyes are fixated on the falling woman. So, he jumps and the woman lands on his hands therefore Azer crashes on the ground with Raven on his hands.

Azer looks at her until he pulls his hands from her. He begins to arise from crouching on the ground, his narrowing eyes are lingering upon Kaifer.

Kaifer lands on the ground causing a crater to form underneath his feet, and so he shouts at him. "LABANAN MO AKO GAMIT ANG ABILIDAD MO!" 

Azer and Kaifer begin to sprint towards each other whilst Dillian is crouching behind Raven whose eyes are closed while laying on the ground.

"Nababaliw na yata ang lalakeng iyon," Dillian said.

Azer jumps side to side; his movement avoids the wind spheres and it hits the ground. Once Azer is closer to Kaifer: Azer begins to lower his upper body as his clenched hand is thrusting toward Kaifer.

Azer's hand strikes Kaifer's chest and he flies away and rolls on the ground.

A smile grows on Kaifer's lip as he is standing from the ground whilst Azer is inhaling and exhaling at a fast rate.

The wind blows over them; the wind carries the dust from the ground and in a blink of an eye, a sharp force of wind appears and goes toward Kaifer. 

Kaifer fades away whilst Azer's eyes are widening. Azer moves his head aside and he flies away and strikes against the wall of a house.

Azer bites his teeth while he holds the ground and pushes himself until he's standing on his feet.

Kaifer appears in front of him while his hand is open, and the force of wind is gathering on the palm of his open hand; the force of wind forms a sword made of wind.

Kaifer is moving closer to Azer as he's pushing his wind sword onward to Azer's chest.

Kaifer says, "Kahit maging sino ka pa, dapat sa'yo ay mamatay! Kahit pa na ako'y makasuhan… hindi mo kailanman masisira ang aking pinaghirapan."

A pair of hands with glowing white lines hold the blade of his wind sword.

The sharp force of wind goes toward Kaifer and it strikes his whole body, and strains of blood emerges from Kaifer's mouth.

His hands separate from the sword as he flies away. Kaifer hits the ground, and he moves his eyes upward and Azer remains standing on his position while gazing at him.

"Ang mga matang iyan," Kaifer whispered.

Azer's white eyes begin to disappear as they close themselves, and Azer begins to fall on the ground while the white glowing lines over his whole body are vanishing.
