The Strongest, by AnonymousEon

Chapter 13

A half an hour of waiting later, Electrolite was greatly focused on his TV after the news channel reported breaking news. The anchor on the program began to inform those who were watching about Land 3 in Canada being attacked by a humanoid monster with light green skin. The anchor continued to explain about the monster attacking and destroying buildings, as well as killing innocents, as well as eyewitnesses explaining the appearance of the creature. Its appearance was feminine with tan skin at the human face and pitch black eyes, as well as long strands of what appeared to be hair that was the same color as its skin. The monster's body was a mix of an hourglass and athletic physique and had short pointed ears.

Electrolite immediately knew that this was a Jordeman and was ready to take it on. The young man immediately put on his hero outfit and flew towards the country of Canada. Night had already fallen by then and within five minutes, Electrolite had arrived in Canada, as well as arriving in Land 3 within an additional two minutes. Watching from above, Electrolite could see numerous buildings being fallen over, it even surprised him that most, if not all, of the Jordeman he was and have faced were capable of causing this much destruction. The young man flew down and coincidently landed in front of the monster, delivering a powerful punch across its face, launching it into several trees on the sidewalks.

The creature groaned in slight pain, getting up and popping their back. This Jordeman was the female of the group that would come and attempt to demolish all of humanity. Her name was Esmeralda, known to her comrades as Emerald Skin.

She scoffed at the hero who stopped her, saying, "I never expected someone like you to prevent me from what I'm doing."

"And so did the other Jordeman I killed." Electrolite replied.

"You killed Brilyante? You killed Diamond Skin? It's not very nice when you kill one's kind."

"And it's not very nice that you monsters are trying to kill all humans, my kind."

"This planet belongs to us and us only. Had you humans not existed none of this would have happened. Why are you here?"

"I have a good answer for that, but you wouldn't believe me if I told you, nobody does. However, whether they do or not I know that we humans were here to live and become one with this world. Some of us may destroy it, but others will try their best to protect and restore it."

"Blasphemy, human! The Jordeman will be Earth's protector after we kill you all. This planet belongs to us and us only. There's no room for you all left. If you want it, then you will have to live the way of survival of the fittest, for we are strong and you all are weak."

"We humans are not weak. Sure, some of us aren't powerful, but deep down inside we are strong, strong enough to take you on. Allow me to do the honors."

After saying this, Electrolite dashed towards Esmeralda at blinding speeds, the monster charging at him at the same rate. Emerald Skin then swung her claws at the hero, who leaped over her, landed, and then punched her into a building, breaking her jaw. The hero then flew towards her and rammed her into several buildings, destroying her back, revealing her muscular system. After this, Electrolite grabbed the monster by the next and created electricity from his hands, shocking the Jordeman greatly, smoke coming from out of her body as she stuttered in between screams. The hero then punched Esmeralda in the face and sent her into two structures, breaking her nose.

The hero was done messing with this Jordeman and turned to leave until he for some reason turned and was kicked across the face by the monster, the attack launching the hero into several buildings. Electrolite rubbed his face and pain, surprised at how Esmeralda was able to harm him. His attention turned towards her and the hero was shocked to see the green-skinned Jordeman walk towards him, her jaw, nose, back, and other damaged parts of her body regenerating back to normal as if nothing happened to her at all.

Electrolite was in slight awe, Esmeralda chuckling, saying, "What? Have you never seen a monster heal from its wounds before?"

"Not many. Reminds me of a friend of mine. This won't be easy." Electrolite said.

Emerald Skin then zipped towards Electrolite and delivered a flurry of claw scratches and kicks at the young hero, who blocked every attack. The young man then delivered a powerful blow across the monster's face, breaking her teeth, to which they regenerated and came back. The hero jumped back and then dashed at the Jordeman, delivering a barrage of powerful punches all over her body, as well as zooming around the city with her while doing so, destroying buildings in the process. Stopping and delivering the last blow to her stomach, Electrolite made a hole in her stomach, seeing that she was gravely injured, bleeding, her skin broken, her skeletons and muscles showing. Esmeralda chuckled, her injuries healing rapidly, returning her back to normal.

Electrolite removed his fist and saw the hole in her stomach reform and turn back to normal. Esmeralda then slammed her claws into the ground and dashed at the hero, kicking him underneath his chin and sending him into the air. The Jordeman then leaped up towards him to attack, Electrolite reeling his arm back and shooting a powerful lighting bolt at the monster, sending her to the ground.

Emerald Skin groaned in pain and saw her arm shiver, the injuries on her arm taking a slower time to heal, almost a minute. "Wait. Normal electricity can't slow my healing down like that. What's with this human's power?"

Electrolite hovered in the air and watched, surprised to see that his powers slowed the process of her healing. "If I hit her with more powerful electric attacks, she'll get to the point where she won't heal at all, I think. Interesting to realize.

The hero then flew down towards Emerald Skin, who spotted him and swung her claws. Electrolite dodged and his arms and legs electrified, the young man then hitting Esmeralda with powerful electric punches and kicks, the monster wincing and grunting in pain, her wounds now more severe. The hero stopped his attacks and saw the monster stand still, the young man seeing that her wounds closed in a minute and a half.

"You fight survival of the fittest, right?" Electrolite said, his fists electrifying more violently. "I'll show you survival of the fittest."

Without mercy, without giving Emerald Skin a chance to heal while doing this, Electrolite hit the Jordeman with powerful punches, which greatly injured her body. He zipped around the city while doing this, destroying more structures. The hero then threw several powerful lightning bolts that greatly damaged Emerald Skin's body, almost to the point where the surface of her skin and muscular system would be destroyed, the ranged attacks sending her into buildings. Electrolite then zipped towards her, grabbed her by the neck, and flew up into the sky at great speed, the hero then throwing Esmaralda to the ground, destroying most of her skin and muscular system, as well as breaking her bones, yet she was still alive. The hero's foot then began to electrify greatly, flashing so bright that it lit up the entire sky like actual lightning.

Emerald Skin weezed in pain, quietly saying, "How did I lose? I can hardly heal, I can't heal at all. Survival of the fittest... He spat that fact in its face. So strong... He's just like our leader... Unbeatable... I should have known, we should have known, what we were up against..."

Clouds began to form above Electrolite like a spiral, resembling the formation of a hurricane. Lightning formed in the sky, thunder sounded. The hero hovered in the air, lifting his leg up, ready to stomp the monster. In an instant, at the speed of lightning, with the addition of four lightning bolts around him, Electrolite shouted "Flashing Thunder Kick!" and zipped down towards Emerald Skin, his powerful electrical foot and four lightning bolts hitting the Jordeman at the same time and destroying her, creating a large explosion that was going to wipe out all of Land 1. However, using concentration, Electrolite made the explosion travel straight upward and into the sky like a large and powerful beam. The young man's attack finished and the hero breathed heavily, exhaling softly.

Electrolite thought to himself, I know I could fight these things without having to worry about what I'm doing, but then there's people here and they need to live too if I'm going to save them. From now on, I must focus on the output of my attacks and make the damage of the cities less severe. I'm a hero, not a war machine.

The hero then flew off into the night towards home, ready to fight the next Jordeman that would come above the earth.
