Inner Core (Book 2) (Completed)

Chapter 22 *Rage Vs. Reo*

Kai: "Ready."

(Rage cracked his neck.)

Kai: "Set."

(Reo cracked his knuckles.)

Kai: "Go."

(Rage charged at him in a blast. He was fast, but Reo was faster. Reo dodged with ease. He didn't wanna use his electricity so much due to the Cloak fight. His heart was in absolute pain, and he couldn't fight anyone else. If he was gonna win he would have to fight more than just one battle. Rage was using lots of fire just to get near him. His skin was bright pink, and Reo didn't know if that was from the fire or because he was so mad. He didn't seem to be the smartest about his attacks. He seemed to just charge and then charge again. If this was going to be the entire fight, Reo could definitely last. A minute has past of just dodging and the crowd was getting bored. Reo was getting bored himself, so he thought he'd do something. Rage did another charge, but instead of dodging, Reo kicked him in the stomach. Rage grabbed his leg when it touched him and he threw Reo into the air. Reo was flying, and it looked like he was gonna fly off the arena. Maybe even out of the stadium. He had to think fast, he made an electric ball which made it explode in the air. It sent a shockwave throwing him back down onto the arena. It hurt a little, but he could handle it.)

Rage: "Smart Reo, but brains can't save you from this battle."

Reo: "I thought so. When I saw who I'm fighting I knew this wasn't a fight for smart people."

Rage: "Shut up!"

(Rage charged again, but Reo was tired of dodging. He covered himself in electricity and charged at him too. They met down the middle and grabbed onto each other. Rage had fire going all over him, and felt like it was just getting hotter. Kai said the angrier he gets the stronger he gets, so if Reo makes him mad, he'll just get stronger. If Reo didn't wanna use too much electricity, he'd have to calm the hot coal down.)

Reo: "Wow you're so strong. I thought you were weak, but damn, you really are powerful."

Rage: "Heh heh, I told you! You're weak compared to me!"

(He could slowly feel the heat cooling, and the pressure of him pushing was weakening. It's working.)

Reo: "Yeah, you were right. You're so powerful."

Rage: "Haha, yes i a-WAH!"

(Reo tripped Rage and threw him towards the edge, but Rage caught himself. He stood up, and he looked way angrier.)

Rage: "Oh really! Trying to make me weak with words! That won't work! You're dead!"

(Rage charged at Reo again. Making him not angry won't work anymore. He may be dumb, but he's not dumb enough to forget that. He'll probably just get angrier, but maybe that's what Reo wants. Reo dodged his attack again.)

Reo: "Sorry, I guess I thought you were dumber. Now I know, you're dumb, just not that dumb."

Rage: "What did you just say?!"

(More fire went around Rage, and Reo could feel the heat from across the arena. Everyone has a weakness and usually it happens when you use your core too much. Reo didn't know what Rage's weakness was, but he has a guess it's when he gets too angry.)

Reo: "Well I mean obviously you're dumb. Look at yourself. You don't look very smart."

Rage: "I'm going to crush your face!"

(Rage charged again, and Reo charged at him too, but he didn't attend on attacking. He hated not fighting, but he was here to win, not have fun. He jumped right over him and kicked him in mid air. This made Rage fall, but he quickly got up.)
