Mikey takes his fighting stance again, with three hearts out of ten left, his armor completely shredded, and almost no stamina left...

I am in a worse shape than I thought. Those tentacles hit extremely hard.

"You're probably thinking, why am I so exhausted right now aren't you." The ghost appears above Mikey and begs him a question. "Well, the reason is simple, those tentacles actually contain poison which works in such a way that it literally drains your stamina."

I am poisoned? Is he serious?

"Will the poison kill me?" Mikey asks the ghost.

"Nope, you don't need to worry about that." The ghost says.

Good, in that case I really don't need to worry about the poison. I have to worry about my stamina though... Should I have put my S point in my Stamina instead? Well, it's too late to think about that.

The monster charges at Mikey again. Mikey focuses on his defense and tries to not get hit at all. He evades every attack of the monster, but soon enough he realizes that the monster is not tired at all. It just keeps unleashing a flurry of tentacle slashes on Mikey... Over and over. It's as if the poison that was draining Mikey's stamina was replenishing the monster's stamina.

Mikey starts running away.

[You have activated an ability of the "Ultimate Fighter"]

Mikey uses his ultimate footwork and dashes in a direction away from the Ultimate Chicken Horse Kraken. He zigs zags all around the forest.

Mikey manages to get away, but once his ability runs out, the monster manages to catch up to him right away. It starts attacking Mikey again. Mikey is running away from it while constantly hiding behind trees and buying time for himself.

What he's been doing this whole time while zig-zagging is that he was summoning a bunch of spectral pirates all around. He was running around in a circle which means that the pirates have essentially formed a circle formation. Mikey ordered them to keep hidden until he gives them his signal.

Mikey knows the exact position of his pirates 24/7, thanks to this he can lead the UCHK right into the middle of the circle that they formed.

Mikey leads the monster into the trapband orders all of the soldiers to attack the monster. The pirates charge at the monster, completely surrounding it. Mikey joins the pirates and looks for an opening. Mikey is aware that the monster will sweep his pirates away like some flies. That's why he pulls the soldiers back for a moment. All that matters for Mikey right now is to get all nine stacks on the monster.

Mikey sends one of the spectral pirates in. UCHK slaps it, completely obliterating it. Mikey shows up out of nowhere and hits the monster. The monster tries to hit Mikey back but he dodges. Two more pirates attack the monster. The monster destroys them. Mikey once again shows up out of nowhere and hits the monster three times in a row, Mikey has four stacks on it and his hits are finally starting to deal a lot of damage to the monster.

Thanks to the fact that Mikey punched three times instead of one, the monster has enought time to counterattack, and it does just that. The monster attacks Mikey back, Mikey doesn't have enough time to dodge. He anticipated this counterattack which is why he kept a spectral soldier right next to him. Mikey uses the soldier as a shield. After the attack Mikey manages to land a quick kick on the UCHK, he quickly backs off. There are 5 stacks on UCHK.

The monster is enraged and attacks Mikey again.

Mikey sends the last five spectral pirates at the monster all at once, the monster actually ignores them and focuses on Mikey. This however doesn't help because Mikey grabs one of the soldiers and charges with him at the monster. The monster uses two tentacles at once to attack Mikey from both sides, this means that even if Mikey uses his soldier as a shield, he will just get hit from the other direction.

Mikey slides and dodges the monster's attack. He quickly attacks back so that his stacks don't reset. Because of this the chicken manages to land a hit on Mikey. Mikey almost loses conciousness from the impact. There are 6 Kraken Slayer stacks on UCHK right now.

The monster is about to finish him off but all the pirates who are still alive attack it and the monster just simply can't ignore them. UCHK spins around and uses its tentacles to knock all the pirates away. All of them are sent flying. The monster looks back at Mikey, just to realize that he had dissapeared.

Before the monster realizes it, Mikey comes crashing at it from the sky with his Freestyle Fighter meteorite dropkick that he had used several times by now.

The impact is extremely powerful. The monster starts regenerating right away but Mikey doesn't let it. He unleashes a barrage of attacks on it, landing about five punches in a row. The stacks are maxed out and the mark has appeared while he was punching it. However, Mikey didn't hit the mark on purpose. He is waiting for a better opportunity.

The red mark has appeared on the chicken's back which is heavily guarded with tentacles. The monster doesn't realize that it's in a great danger yet. It completely focuses on attacking Mikey.

Mikey evades all of its attacks.

(6 seconds until stacks reset)

The Ultimate monster realizes that it has to use more tentacles if it wants to land a hit, that's why it completely abandoms its defense. The monster thinks that even if Mikey manages to land a hit on it, the attack won't kill it because it can simply regenerate extremely fast.

(5 seconds until stacks reset)

Mikey has actually been waiting for this, the only way for him to land a hit on its back is if it abandoms defense. Which is exactly what happened.

(4 seconds left)

Mikey can't find an opening, even though he can dodge its attacks, there's no way for him to hit it back without getting absolutely demolished by its tentacles.

(3 seconds left)

Mikey has been counting seconds, he knows that he's got about two seconds left. He has to land this one, he has used all of his trump cards, if he doesn't land it he can say goodbye to his life.

(2 seconds left)

Mikey didn't find an opening... but that didn't stop him from diving at the chicken.

IT'S NOW OR NEVER! Mikey shouts in his mind.

[You have activated an ability of the "Persistent Fighter"]

Mikey can feel a flow of energy in his body.

[You have activated an ability of the "Ultimate Fighter"]

All of Mikey's power goes into his left fist.

The Ultimate monster realizes the danger that it's in. It tries to jump back, just to realize that its feet have been grabbed by a spectral pirate that was hiding underground. The monster can't move, it has only chicken legs afterall, and its power is in its tentacles not in the legs.

Mikey had set this up while he was stacking the Kraken Slayer on the monster. He sent one of the pirates underground and led the monster right above where the pirate was hiding. He then ordered the pirate to grab the chicken's feet.

BOOM!

Mikey lands his hit with his Ultimate punch right on the red mark. The punch as always creates a huge shockwave and a big dust cloud. After the dust cloud dissapears Mikey looks around.

The UCHK's body has literally decimated from Mikey's punch, not a single atom of its body was left.

The ghost appears in front of Mikey clapping his hands. "WOW!" He says "Not bad young man, but the challenge hasn't ended yet." The ghost summons the UCHK again, there is just one difference. It isn't aggresive anymore.

"The second phase begins now. I'll let you get some rest first." The ghost says.

Mikey stays still, that's the moment when the ghost realizes that Mikey went unconcious after realizing that he killed the monster.

Mikey is literally unconcious while being able to stand still.
