Savian Yelenta: I closed the distance between me and Geon in an instant and threw a blazing overhand strike which bled a streak of crimson red into the sky. Geon blocked the strike with both of his hands as he was sent flying backwards. I dashed towards him and kept on striking as a flurry of strikes and blows slammed against Geon’s arms and shoulders. I threw a high-speed uppercut which made a high-pitched whizzing sound that Geon leaned back from. I threw a blazing right hand cross which he deflected with his shoulder and he threw a heavy right hand of his own. I saw it coming from a mile away and dashed behind him–hitting him with one, two, three blows to the head and body. I dashed in front of him and threw more blows all of which connected. Geon put his hands up as I let my strikes fly. Sparks of red lightning and streaks of red flashed into the air as I unleashed a rapid tournet of blows. The shockwaves coming off of the strikes chipped away at the earth as Geon was slowly pushed back–making a mini-ravine in the cold hard soil. I stopped and threw a high-speed back kick which sent Geon flying. I ran at full speed and laced some red-energy built up from my speed in my right hand. I let the momentum of my run carry me and I spun around fast–hurling the bolt of lightning at Geon with all of my might. The bolt flashed through the sky in an instant as a huge red explosion of light temporarily blinded me as it sent the world into a white-abyss. My ears started to ring and the ground itself was vaporized as I continued to run forward into the explosion where Geon was located. I blazed through the smoke and ashes and saw Geon out of the corner of my eye. I dashed towards him and smashed my shoulder into his figure as he grabbed me and flew me into the sky. Red sparks and lightning exploded out of my body as Geon’s grip loosened just enough for me to get out. I pulled away and Geon grabbed my ankle and chucked me higher into the sky. I felt myself start to go weightless as I looked down and could only see the clouds. How high are we?

It started to get hard to breathe and things got worse as a giant column of fire erupted from underneath me. The flames hit my skin as pain–pain so bad that it made my mind go numb–erupted all over the body. My skin, my hair, my bones all seemed to melt at the touch of Geon’s fire as it consumed me and clasped around me in a deathly embrace. I tried to look around but couldn’t see anything. Right up until the clouds started to part and explode as Geon rammed into me at supersonic speeds. I felt my ribs shatter and blood soaked Geon’s clothes as he grabbed me and plummeted towards the ground. I grit my teeth and screamed as I tried my best to claw and tear at Geon’s face while screaming towards the earth at unimaginable speeds. Geon looked at me, “I’m sorry.” Anger exploded out of my heart and rage consumed me as red lightning lit up along my body. A huge explosion of red energy erupted and turned the sky a shade of pink-red as I tore myself away from Geon and started to free fall through the sky. Geon shot towards me but he was easy to read this time. I kicked out and pushed off of him as I wound up another lightning bolt and chucked it at his head. Geon dodged the lighting bolt and held out his hand as I suddenly lost the ability to breath, “Can’t breathe? Replacing the oxygen around you with carbon monoxide is all I needed.” My lungs started to burn as Geon shot towards me once again. I could see the ground now and we had about ten seconds until we hit the floor. I think I can use this one more time. I calmed down, put all of life force, my energy, my being, everything that I had left after all that had happened to me into one moment. One second, one time, one last time…. My body went limp and my consciousness flew away as Geon charged towards me. Just before he could grab me once again, time stopped. A familiar sound–something like a pin dropping onto hard tiled floors–rang out into the air as regal red armor made of pure energy adorned my body. The electricity ate away at my flesh, my bones visibly started to crack and break from the weight of the armor, and my heart beat so fast that I could feel it start to tear and rip away. I had gotten here, I had managed to be able to use this, and this was the last thing that I would ever do…

I could see it, I could see Geon frozen within time. I could see all the possible actions he could do, all of the possible attacks, and all of his possible future movements. I looked behind me and I could see all of the possible future scenarios that could occur and I could feel it. I could feel that for this one moment–I was free. I slowly drifted up and hit Geon with a hard kick between his shoulder blades forcing him down to the ground. A green outline of Geon’s body fell to the earth and I quickly moved back down towards the ground where I shifted all of the armor, all of the red regal energy stored within it, into my right hand. The green outline of Geon’s body shifted towards me as I smiled, “I choose this outcome.” The world started to move again and a mighty blast reverberated through the air as a huge shockwave erupted behind Geon. It looked like he was kicked down by an invisible force as blood shot out of his mouth and his eyes went wide. Geon followed the exact path of the green outline I had seen and I was waiting for him back down on the ground with one last attack. He flew into me with immense speed as I wound up my lightning laced hand, “Geon,” his face filled with concentration and grit as he wound up his fist which glowed with red fire and glowing explosive sparks, “I didn’t mean what I said about Emmy. I’m not sure if I really meant what I said to you.” I jumped towards Geon and wound up my fist as we quickly approached each other. “But I do want to be done. Goodbye,” I saw Geon’s face as we both threw our punches and they connected with a dazzling array of light,

“Friend.”
