The First Defeat
Thunder Fang rushed towards The Bruiser and threw an electric projectile from his knuckle. Unfortunately, the projectile was crushed easily by the living construct bulky gauntlet before it blasted a flaming ray from it's yellow eyes.
The Oni Guy's electrified body dashed to the right safely from the sight of the blazing ray. As a result the ray only scorched the metal ground. Moreover, Thunder Fang quickly threw another projectile with a straight kick as he grasped a right chance to attack.
However, The Bruiser elastically evaded the projectile by hopping inches away, as if there wasn't a heavy mass inside it's bulky body. Therefore, the living construct dashed forward for landing to the ground and changed the molten hand into a bulky, grappling hook.
Thunder Fang flipped around and touched the blazing, grappling hook with his electrified hands. Because of that, the grappling hook was shattered into million pieces with one electric touch. Thus, he immediately threw the electric projectile again from the tightened knuckle when he landed on the ground.
With ease, The Bruiser shattered the zappy projectile with a single slap before it glared at The Oni Guy who locked an anticipation look. Afterward, the living constructs charged forward like an ice skating player that raised a shock within Thunder Fang's eyebrows.
A molten hand punch was being prepared to land on Thunder Fang guts, but unfortunately, it crumbled into pieces after interacting with an electric counterpunch that prevented The Oni Guy from ever getting hit. But, the shattered pieces reforged into a circular, hand cannon that wrapped around the missing part of it's hand.
A dodging time came too late for Thunder Fang as The Bruiser casted out a scorching flame thrower blast onto him. As The Oni guy was caught by the aggressive flame tower, he gritted his teeth to boost up his endurance with the burning pain he suffered.
Even though the blast didn't eradicate his flesh and bone, the pain of being burned alive was still kept in touch especially when Thunder Fang began to bite his lips. The intense force of the flamethrower made him take a step back, while The Bruiser sluggishly moved forward and kept showering its opponent like a firefighter tried to extinguish a burning house.
Sparror who was inside the Bruiser's stomach still could see Thunder Fang clearly as a normal could do. Even though he was literally inside The Bruiser's stomach where only a flaming wall was detected on his surrounding
"I seemingly didn't really understand that my teleportation power seems to be working when I was inside this mech suit." Sparror mumbled within his mind, "But, the important thing I have to do is to push this guy to the corner and then knock him out immediately."
The Bruiser continuously moved forward, cornering Thunder Fang with the unstoppable flame thrower. An adrenaline rush heated inside Sparror eyes as the flame thrower became more molten than before that resembled lava.
Thunder Fang still hadn't received any chance for attack. Struggling and grunting were the things that he could do to endure the blazing suffering. He was just like a heating project especially the face of desperation joined the fray till his eyes wide open with ideas.
"Fine, I didn't have any choice left!" He murmured towards his mind in desperate manner
His electric feet silently sneaked into the bulky legs and recklessly gripped the flame thrower arms with his thunderstruck clutches. The Bruiser realization kicked in that increased the intensity of the heat on the already molten hand.
It changed from a normal showering flame into a blast that mirrored a massive explosion. Thunder Fang was now helplessly trapped inside the explosion and felt a burning pain that caused him to echoed an agonizing scream on top of his lung.
He closed his eyes with gritted teeth of holding the constant struggle and desperation. The Oni Guy also channeled out an empowered violet electricity coursed through his vein until to the whole body.
"I already had many flaming blasts thrown to me." Thunder Fang said in a deeper tone, "And this is NOTHING!"
For the last attempt of escaping, Thunder Fang electrified feet lashed out the bulky feet that successfully shattered it into million flaming shards. As a result, the Bruiser slowly lost its balance that freed Thunder Fang in the process, from an everlasting flame thrower.
Afterward, The Oni Guy slammed down the living construct by grabbing its hand as a form of payback. However, The Bruiser made a last-ditch effort to transform its back into a small flaming jet pack and evaded the chance from pounding on the top metal ground.
The Oni Guy immediately roared the electricity that was shielding his body. Then chased his flying opponent at lightning speed in a sense of hurry for not letting him created unpredictable tricks.
Thunder Fang drew an upcoming fist that was about to hit The Bruiser and six flaming missiles spawned from the jetpack flew away to the destined target. The Oni Guy steadily punched each of the missiles with ease, in less than a second.
Because of that, The Bruiser grew a new leg on the shattered pieces before it smoothly landed to the ground. Furthermore, a flaming Bazooka construct was formed from the molten hand and pointed onto Thunder Fang that just finished with his own missile problem.
The bazooka blew out a massive flaming rocket that flew onto Thunder Fang, ready to make a crash landing. The Oni Guy roared electric body that swiftly pulled him to the right, evaded the devastating attack by the rocket
Nonetheless, Thunder Fang got closer by dashed towards The Bruiser for preparing another electric assault. But, the living countered the dash by a swift punch that sent The Oni Guy away from the living construct distance before he poked out electricity on the body to hold on the ground, making him still in a close distance with his fore.
"So he decided to play as a counter fighter." Thunder Fang exclaimed in eagerness, "Fine, I am just going to do one hit that is enough to shatter that armor from inside."
A thunder surge enlightened Thunder Fang and he thrust back one of his fists that was wrapped around by an electric wire. Furthermore, the electricity rushed forward The Oni Guy in lightning speed as The Bruiser opened its arm like a goalkeeper.
A shocking clash occurred as Thunder Fang pushed his fist and landed the inside of The Bruiser, but he was caught by a heating flaming wave from the molten hands. The Oni Guy was showered by the constant flame that was being omitted, causing his legs to slowly crumble to the ground.
The bulky stomach blew a forging flame twister. Thus, a flaming hammer on the stomach was born and head-butted Thunder Fang guts. A lot of salivae was puked out from his mouth and his entire body was ready to fall after the shocking hit on the gut again.
"Let me repeat again, I have been hit by so many similar blasts and attacks." Thunder Fang whispered in a deep tone, "And this is, NOTHING!"
After Thunder Fang shouted in a raging voice, he channeled every single electricity within the body into a single electrified fist in a stabbing position. The electricity covering his limbs was all gone except on his fist.
Nonetheless, it unleashed an untamed, spreading strings of purple electricity zapping everything it touched, including The Bruiser body that started to crack from upside down. The intensity of the flame got hotter than before, making his agony cry could be heard by the entire world, but the ignorant of endurance got the best of him and presumed the burning suffering.
The Bruiser cracked began to expended more and more until a dissolving explosion occurred, revealed Sparror in a helpless position after been electrocuted a dozen times. The Flaming wave was also dissolved and freeing injured Thunder Fang from the torture.
Sparror fell in a standing position, but his expression was lifeless and he stood like an undead. Afterward, a sudden shatter crack emerged on his stomach and vastly spread onto the side of his armor.
Thunder Fang's knee fell down and he was breathing heavily like a person that had been lifting a heavy steel bar for the entire day and his hands shook unstable. Then, he witnessed Sparror fell down like a corpse, and a flat pool of blood from his nose, damped the metal ground with the wet rose color.
"I thought this guy is literally made of energy." Thunder Fang mumbled in a tiring voice, "Oh well then and luckily he was just unconscious because I am not trying to fry his brain. Instead, I only just gave him a lot of nosebleeds.
The Oni Guy was seemingly disgusted and threw away his electric projectile like a professional baseball player, even though only the upper part of his body responded. The projectile landed far behind Sparror and floated like a jewelry display.
"Just in case, if there is some bullshit awakening from that guy." He said within his mind in a cautious manner.
All of sudden, he laughed uncontrollably and felt his throat was being tickled by somebody else. His legs managed to carry a stand-up position for him and sighed in relief.
"I remembered the good old days in this arena." Thunder Fang admitted with a grateful tone, "Fighting, got beaten, outsmarted, pissed off some mob bosses and their representative fighters, and being a champion, it was a pretty exciting day".
A regretful atmosphere put down his stare and clenched both of the fists that looks like trying to break a hard material as he ventured to the dark side of his old memory as the fighter.
"It was also the day that I almost lost Sayato and I'm foolishly giving up my fighting career because of her." Thunder Fang mumbled in a sad tone within his mind, "And right now, I backed again to save her by doing things that I hated the most, being a god damn criminal and forcefully hurting non-super power humans."
"Which was why I didn't want to join this cursed Superhero world." He added with a weeping tone, "A world where morality was so questionable, it makes motivation for underground fighters in Mayujima look simple and easy to understand."
"The simplest way, a world where you wore an odder costume than an underground fighter and only caused more damage especially with complex ideology battles that almost destroy the entire planet."
Thunder Fang sighed in relief once more and looked at the reflecting night sky. Then, he proceeded to switch his attention, filled with concern to the bloody Sparror. Smiles widened onto The Flaming Hero.
"New guy, I wish you luck for your Superhero career, and thank you for having a similar point of view when comes to battle." Thunder Fang said in a thankful tone.
Gust of flaming strings flickered and met with Thunder Fang eyes. The Oni Guy grinned in an exciting manner and he watched the flaming enveloped Sparror bodies. The Flaming Hero body floaty stood up and extinguished the blood that covered his entire stomach with blazing wave presence.
Thunder Fang woke up his electrified gripping hand before the floating projectile roared in a straight line lightning strike that struck Sparror in surprise like thunder on the sky above hit the object below. The Flaming Hero was helplessly being electrocuted and he only gave a confused expression.
The Oni Guy pridefully smirked toward his prey and took a step forward with his other fist, roaring an electric wire to constrict the entire arm. Sparror locked his confused eyes while he screamed on top of his lung.
"I am aware you're gonna wake up in a bullshit way as possible and I don't want to face you again in round three." Thunder Fang said in a bittered tone, "Because I am not truly ready to keep up with you anymore."
Sparror kept screaming and his body was now held by a chain of lightning that constricted him hard which made his whole movement completely immobilize. In front of Thunder Fang eyes, he was just a punching bag as the surge of electricity drastically roared.
As a result, the violet light exploded in front of Sparror and he fell into a helpless state once more. The recent resurrection was completely failed for The Flaming Hero.
"Oh come on." Sparror whined with annoyance within his mind, "I thought that the sudden awakening trick would literally work against him."
"I guess, this will be another lesson that I got tonight." Sparror added in a relaxing tone within the mind, "An experienced opponent always had a higher chance and never relied on beginners' luck."
Sparror gazed at Thunder Fang while the screaming from his throat continued. The Oni Guy locked his thrusting fist to the target that was still trapped by his shocking trap.
"It's good pleasure to fight against you new guy, I truly enjoy it, and bring me into an old day." Thunder Fang confessed with a grateful tone, "And I hope you will be fine tomorrow after this hit."
Thunder Fang took a long breath before blowing away a burdening wind. His wiring fist cast out the wild electricity that zapped anything that it touched from left to right, back and forth on when he thrust back for a setting up a declaration of his own final attacks.
"KIAI!!!", He screamed with full of pride and honor as he shoved his closer to hit Sparror chest.
However, Thunder Fang gave a shocking expression as his breathing was stopped. The fist failed to hit and it revealed Zero arrived on time in front of Sparror, with his large and stretchy silver gauntlet landed a swift punch on his chest.
The silver gauntlet dissolved into dusty blue sparkles and Thunder Fang finally fell from a standing position, lying down on the metal ground in blank white eyes that declared he fell to an unconscious state. A chain of electrical vanished, freeing Sparror from the electric torture.
He fell down to the ground safely in a perfect stand position before locking his eyes to Zero who just saved him from Thunder Fang's final attack. The Flaming Hero sighed in relief as he was being rescued by his old man, but at the same time, a little bit petrified as The Silver Man turned around with a chilling expression.
