Chapter 23: Burning Fist

Kane looked at Kenan and he could tell that he had changed. Not just physically but mentally. There was a deep coldness in his eyes whenever he was talking about avenging his mother. One that intimidated him though he would be scared to admit it. “ Either way he's the reason for my suffering. To all of the hardship I've gone through while he's lived a comfortable carefree life. He doesn't even appreciate the girl that's given her heart to him.” Kane looks over at Yalissa. She has a worried expression on her face while looking at Kenan.

“I'll show you what he's really worth,” Kane said under his breath as he activated his ability. He had a light orange color around him as his body started to heat up and the heat in the room converged on him.

Kenan was surprised for a second after Kane activated his ability. He had the exact ability Malachi had, Kenan's Father. It wasn't rare or odd that he had it but it did tug at his emotions. “I remember when you used to rush up to my dad saying Uncle, Uncle let me show you my new techniques I'm going to fight just like you do. With stars I'm your eyes. You probably looked up to my dad more than I did. I remember the way you looked when you were at his supposed funeral.” Kenan stopped himself as he tightened his grip on his spear.

He transformed into his metal form covering himself in silver. “No one gets a pass, especially you. You may have looked up to my old man but the disrespect you and the family showed my mother is inexcusable.”

Marshall Solomon gave them instructions they completely ignored and waited for the signal to begin.

“Begin!!!”

Kenan thrusted his spear like he wielded a lighting bolt but the only thing he made contact with was the air. Kane was already advancing to close the gap between them. But another spear thrust held him back.

“He's a lot faster than Cole is so I have to stay on my toes” Kenan says as changes the grip he holds with his spear. “ I should strike with shorter, faster jabs instead of thrusts or I'll be exposed like I was with Cole.”

Kane had an annoyed expression on his face. “ Of course he has an ability perfect for wielding a weapon. He has a solid defense with his metal ability plus range with his spear. I can't even afford to hold back a little here.” He glances over at Yalissa who is still looking in Kenan direction. Kane tries to calm his heart down. He takes a deep inhale then exhales and advances on Kenan with even greater speed.

On Kenan’s sideline watching was Cole, Edith, Yalissa, and Virgil.

While on Kane's sideline were Calypso , Apollo and Kyron.

“So what do you think of that first exchange between them?” Edith leaned over and asked Cole.

He sighed. “Honestly it doesn't look good for bro. Kane clearly has a lot more fighting experience. But Kenan is a tough opponent on pretty much all fronts like you. This really all depends on how strong can Kane really make himself with his ability.”

Edith nodes. “What about your opponent do you feel confident in beating him?”

“I always feel confident in beating anyone Ms. Gardener,” Cole answered. As his eyes began to glow green.

Edith smiled at the display. “So you choose a neural path I see. Your ego must have grown tenfold with your ability.” They both laughed.

He folds his arms. “Honestly I don’t know how powerful Apollo is but since he’s all over the network its not hard to find his weakness. He posts all of the time and gets 1000s of views. I don’t think he's being a Shepherd for noble reasons.

Edith agreed. “Not all do but he is still an Ogun with the traditional family ability. I wouldn’t take him too lightly.

Edith looked over at Yalissa. Who looked worried. “I'm curious, Yalissa, do you know what the difference between a Queen and a princess is?”

Kenan held his ribs while holding his spear like a crutch. He was currently trying to catch a decent breath while his opponent did the same. He lost three of the five exchanges. Kane Didn’t come out unscaved but he wasn’t in as bad condition as Kenan; he almost cursed at the realizations. “I can't take another blow he hits way too hard. He seriously has become powerful, to injure me to this extent.” Kenan thought.

“I'm not done yet though,” He said. Even though his body was scamming for him too. He could feel his head start to hurt meaning he was over using his Psionic particles. He stood straight and started spinning his spear fast around him. Wind started to pick up around him by the sheer speed at which he was spinning the spear.

Kenan started to show his mastery whenever he began spinning it in complex maneuvers around his hands and arms. An untrained eye could believe that the spear had a life of its own.

“I should ask if this kid has a master. I'm not opposed to having two students.” Marshall Solomon said.

“That means nothing to me! Little cousin today is my victory and I hope you feel the same way I did five years ago. Kane said.

Kenan continued to spin his spear as he walked toward Kane. Kane held his fist in front of his face and Kenan immediately knew what Kane's next move was.

Kane gathered enough heat in his fist that it started to glow orange and you could lightly see heat waves coming off of his fist. This was Malachi's signature move that made his name feared.

“Burning Fist!!!” Kane said as he launched himself as Kenan's Spear Barrier.

As Kane flew towards Kenan he couldn't help but think. “He really learned that move? And he looks exactly like that stupid old man while doing it too .”

Before He Made contact with Kenan Kane was Slashed 5 times. Still once he got through Kenan’s Spear Barrier he punched Kenan in the ribs completely Shattering his left side ribcage. Kenan flew like a rocket outside of the platform until he was completely engrossed in golden light and teleported safety on the ground. Like always, medical officers appeared out of nowhere and he was carried out. Just before he was about to leave three people came running to his side. Cole, Edith and Yalissa. They all headed out of the training area to the medical wing

Kenan was back in his normal form and he spit up a little blood before saying. “See they aren’t that tough. As his eyes began to water he passed out onto the gurney.

There was an audible cry that could be heard into the hallway that they followed Kenan in and the other medical officers into. It was coming from Yalissa. “I'll stay here and wait for him.” She said,

Cole walked off without saying a word.

“I'll give you my answer since you gave me yours Lady Oya. The difference between a Queen and a Princess isn’t power or authority; it's much deeper than that. A true Queen fights with her King on the battlefield while the Princess stays within the protected castle. Crying waiting to be saved. While a woman worth her salt has a different responsibility and mind. The only one that can truly protect the back of the King is th

e Queen herself. No one can protect the back of a man like his woman can.
