The rain started to stop. Mitsu and Orange were standing still in the middle of the street, trying to catch their breaths. Guk was on the opposite side, all cool and shows no sign of exhaustion.


Mitsu's mind is cluttered with thoughts from his past. The foe he is facing is someone from his darker yesteryears but he cannot recall him. He carries his Flatlance with ease, charging towards the Torturkian. The attack was immediately parried by the Black Knight Tortoise, their eyes meet, their souls connected with rage.


Mitsu was exerting all his strength just to deflect the opponent's axe but evident that Guk is not moving. The Torturkian roared and decide to get serious, He thrusts his axe to shove Mitsu off. Mitsu was able to maintain balance by stabbing his sword to the ground. The Dark Knight retaliates by using the ground to as projectiles, throwing it towards his opponent using his sword. The debris flew towards Guk but he is simply to stop them, making the rocks float in mid air. Guk snarled and returned the debris to Mitsu using nothing but his mind. The Dark Knight slashed each debris, leaving cloud of dusts around him.


The Dark Knight was blinded by the dust cloud, heightening his defense. Mitsu thought "What the...they immediately pulverized; indicated that the debris were crushed even before i sliced them." He was trying wipe off the fog screen but even before he can move the Torturkian tackled him, the spikes on its armor stabbing him in the torso. Mitsu was able to bash Guk in the back but it caused no damage to the Tortukian.


The Dark Knight was sent off flying, hitting a building and was quickly covered by rubble. The Black Knight Tortoise bursts a diabolical laugh. Guk then glared at Orange. The Torturkian started to walk towards the Werewolf, summoning a humongous axe, forming from rocks and soil. Orange slammed his staff on ground, creating a shock wave of lightning current. This did not harmed Guk at all and continued his slow pace towards his next prey. Orange was alarmed, he howled, creating a sonic wave so strong, the ground started to shake. The attack slowed Guk a bit but not completely incapacitating the Torturkian.


The unstoppable juggernaut continued to approach Orange. "Ow, crap...Mitsu's the strongest among us and he was easily knocked out by this guy...how will I beat him..." Orange muttered, his knees are shaking but he tried to hide it. "Hahahaha, look at you, little puppy, trembling in fear..." Guk ridiculed Orange, the Werewolf's eyes widened, puzzled how the enemy knew he was losing hope "I am the Black Knight Tortoise, and I control the Earth. Everything that are connected to it, I sense them. I read every movement you're doing, so do not be surprise if I feel your fear!" Guk then raised his right arm, preparing to slice the Werewolf in one strike. Orange was petrified. He was trying to move but his feet were cemented to the floor. He thought to himself "This could be another one of his techniques..."


Guk was about to give the final blow when all of a sudden, the wall in his right hand corner crumbled, Mitsu then jumped off and slashed Guk's neck. The Flatlance just shattered as soon as it hits Guk's armor. Although surprised, Mitsu continued his attack, as soon as he sets foot on the ground, he summoned a War Hammer out of thin air, and swung it to the Torturkian's chest. As the metals clashed, a loud vibrating noise echoed. The now pissed off Guk went amock, swaying his axe in every direction. Mitsu managed to dodge every blow, and quickly to push Orange out of the way "Dang it, what were you doing there? You wanna be sliced in half?" Mitsu yelled at Orange, the Werewolf was still in shock. Mitsu slapped Orange and started shaking his ally "SNAP OUT OF IT!" Before Mitsu can continue on his sermon, Orange warned his friend "DUCK!" Guk swayed his axe vertically. The two managed to duck and roll. Orange rolls away from Guk; while Mitsu rolls forward Guk. 


Mitsu slammed his War Hammer to Guk's chest plate, only stronger, just like before the clashing metals vibrated, and this time the Torturkian slightly moved from where he was standing, hurt and off balanced. The Dark Knight noticed this quickly, and now realized the opponent's weakness. He continuously bashed Guk with the Hammer, bringing the monster down to his knees. Although exhausted, Mitsu manage to pull a diabolical grin. "Heh. So, that's it? Hot Shot?"


The Torturkian slowly raised his head and replied "No." Guk then impaled his arms on the ground, and like a springs, two spikes stabbed Mitsu directly in the stomach and the right shoulder. Mitsu was deadlocked. Guk roared. He then pulled his axe towards him, which reacted like a magnet, flying back to the opposite pole. The Black Knight then turn his attention to the Werewolf and chuckled "HAHAHA, don't tell me you are expecting this piece of shit to wake up and save you...again?" Orange was angered by both Mitsu's fall and Guk's insult, he readies himself to attack when suddenly Guk throws his axe towards Orange. Although surprised, the mercenary was snappy, Orange evaded the axe by an inch. The axe left markings on the floor before disappearing from their sights. Orange then charged, covering his staff with electricity. Guk was furious and stomped the floor, crushing the ground, the debris then levitated and flew to Orange's direction. The Werewolf countered by howling, crushing the debris in mid air, just like before, Guk emerged from the smoke, successfully landing a punch on Orange. 


Unlike Mitsu, Orange was able to block the attack, but still flew off. Orange pierced his staff to ground to help him slow down, making less impact when he hit the wall. Guk swiftly made a follow up attack, ramming towards Orange, who immediately rolls away from the wall. The Torturkian hits the wall, bringing the whole house down. Orange made a good distance, and stood immediately, in his mind he was trying to calculate his next move, but was unable to concentrate, distracted of the thought of how strong Guk is.


The merger emerged from the rubble and laughed "I pity you! So desperate and petty!" Guk heckled the Werewolf as he approached him. Orange gathered his strength and readied himself. The Black Knight Tortoise is a couple of feet away from Orange when suddenly, a chunk of rock his Guk's face, totally caught off guard. Surprisingly, Mitsu moved. "Yes, this piece of shit will wake up, stand up once more to kick your sorry ass..." Mitsu said, breaking the stone spikes and landing on his feet, seemingly fine. "Don't be surprised. I am an immortal. I won't and will NEVER die..." Mitsu boasted while summoning another Flatlance from thin air. Guk just stared at his opponent and casts his axe back. For a moment, Guk was unable to say anything. The two rivals once again glared at each other with burning fury. Orange was dumbfound in the corner, he is just watching two indestructible beings, both with unstoppable powers. Guk and Mitsu charges at each. The whole place was shaking, each of their step leaves small craters in the ground. 


"HEY! GUYS, TIME TO GO..." two Niv clones suddenly appeared and grabbed both Mitsu and Orange. "WHAT THE HECK?" Mitsu reacted, but even before he can say anything Niv teleports his team mates away. Guk swayed his axe and was astounded to find that his enemies already fleed. Guk stood in the middle and just laughed "We will meet again, Dark Knight...I will claim your head by then."
