Fairy Law

Chapter 3: An Explosive Conclusion!

Explosivo smirked as he started to circle Shadow and he did the same with a menacing glare. He laughed as he dashed towards Shadow and started throwing punches and kick at him that were easily avoided because of his speed and short stature.

Shadow decided to counter attack by blocking Explosivo's right hook with his left arm and going for a slash across his chest but Explosivo didn't seem too bothered by that as his smirked got bigger and Shadow widened his eyes as Explosivo thrust his left hand in front of Shadow's face and the metal gloves glowed a bright red.

"BOOM!" Explosivo shouted and an explosion was projected from his arm, hitting Shadow point blank.

Shadow was blown back and tumbled backwards on the ground but eventually got his footing, skidding to a halt while coughing up a mixture of smoke and blood as scratches and burns covered his upper body and blood was running down the side of his face and from his nose.

Shadow staggered as he heard Explosivo laugh, his head shot up and saw that Explosivo was coming at full force while boosting himself by keeping his arms behind him and launching explosion after explosion.

Shadow grit his teeth as he held his sword with both hands and brought it down for a slash with the aim of cutting Explosivo in half but Explosivo dodged by exploding the ground beneath him and launching himself in the air. He fell to the ground and landed by doing a one-armed handstand on top of Shadow's head.

"KABOOM!" Explosivo shouted as his right foot glowed and he brought it down, kicking Shadow's stomach which caused an explosion.

Shadow let out a guttural shout of pain as Explosivo flipped in the air and landed on his feet, striking a feminine pose.

"Face it shapeshifter, I blew you away!" Explosivo exclaimed.

Shadow coughed as smoke surrounded him and he briefly glowed a flash of blue into his original body but forced himself to stay in his current form. He stood up and stumbled slightly, using his sword as a crutch as he glared at Explosivo.

"You enjoy beating up children?" Shadow asked.

"Man, Woman, Child, doesn't matter to me! Anyone who catches my interest will surely die a fiery explosion." Explosivo stated as he held up his hand and small explosion bubbled erupted from it.

"Glad to see that we share the same sentiment but..." Shadow stated as he stood up straight with a smirk "I don't plan on dying and it sure as hell won't be a fiery explosion killing me."

Explosivo chuckled "We'll see about that."

Shadow curled up into a ball with his sword and spun in place as a red ball with a silver shine in the center "Homing Attack!"

With that shout, Shadow launched towards Explosivo who blocked it with his metal gloves. Their clash created sparks akin to a buzz saw making contact with metal and this pushed Explosivo back. Shadow stopped spinning and went for another downward slash that was dodged once more by Explosivo.

He went for a kick that Shadow ducked under, ignoring the explosion that erupted from the leg and going for a stab to Explosivo's chest who deflected with his right hand. He did a sideways flip and brought his other leg down towards Shadow's head who curled up into a ball and dashed backwards as the spot he was standing had become a small crater from the explosion that erupted from Explosivo's leg.

'Argh! I'm wasting my time here! Makarov-ya could be in danger or worse, I need to finish this now!' Shadow said to himself.

"You're probably thinking about the old man right now, ain't ya?" Explosivo asked and Shadow responded by narrowing his eyes and gritting his teeth "I'd focus if I were you, because now I'm about to strike you."
