Multiversal Tournament

Relatively Calm After a Wild Storm

After Kaira and Ashley had left, the rubble that Prokaz had been buried under began to rumble. He punched his arm out of it and grabbed the closest rock. He threw it off of him and pushed himself out of the pile of boulder shards. Noah had rebooted himself and got back up, but his machinery was still damaged. At the moment he was only running at about fifteen percent capacity. He pushed himself back up and put one of his shoulders back into place. Prokaz stretched for a moment before he noticed Noah, then he took a step forward.

"You... you're one of Kaira's Earth friends, right?" He asked while breathing heavily.

"Yeah, we've met before," Noah replied "But as we can both tell..." He showed him all the damage that was done to his robotic form "We've both seen better days."

"So you say... you know? I really didn't feel like fighting anyone from Kaira and Ashley's team... but you and I never really got to know one another."

"I'm not on their team, but I agree. Why don't we see who's better?"

"Yeah... sure, like we don't already know the answer." Prokaz cracked his neck again "Let's go."

Noah jumped at Prokaz and punched at his nose, but Prokaz jumped backwards. Noah crouched down and spun around with one leg extended, but Prokaz just jumped over the attack. He got up and Prokaz landed just before Noah punched him in the nose. Prokaz responded to the attack with a hook punch to Noah's jaw. Noah stumbled back, then punched at Prokaz's eye. He leaned away from the attack, then swerved under the next hook punch, he got up and uppercut Noah in the ribs, then kicked Noah back.

"Alright... you're not bad," Prokaz admitted while breathing heavily "But still nothing when compared to me-" Noah suddenly jumped forward and heel kicked Prokaz in the groin!

It felt like an eternity when really his heel was only implanted in his sack for half a second. Prokaz was thrown backwards into a wall and Noah fell to one knee. Right before he got back up, he noticed a piece of rebar sitting next to him. He picked it up and began to walk towards Prokaz. The retired Hell Warrior groaned as he looked up and saw Noah raising the weapon above his head. Prokaz sighed and created a long bone in his hand, then used both hands to hold it over his chest. Noah swung it down at Prokaz's head, but he used the bone to block the attack. The two pushed against one another for a few seconds before Prokaz stabbed one end of his bone into the ground. Noah lost his grip on the rebar and sparks flew when it hit part of a wall. The wood next to where they had been struggling caught fire and Noah grabbed the side of Prokaz's face. He slammed his face to the ground and pushed his face toward the fire. Prokaz knew that it wouldn't do him any damage, but he decided to play along a little bit just for fun. He struggled against Noah's grip, but he was surprisingly strong, most likely because of his robotic body.

"Damn... he's actually tough..." He grunted while pushing against Noah.

He suddenly grabbed Noah's wrist and pulled his hand off of his head, then Noah punched down at his head. Prokaz moved his head out of the way, then used it to push Noah's hand into the fire. Noah yelled out in pain as his hand was pushed into the fire and this gave Prokaz an opening. He wrapped his arms around Noah's waist and leaned back while swinging him over his head. Prokaz slammed the android down onto his metal spine and let him go. He got to Noah's side and kicked him hard in the ribs as he tried to get back up. Noah went flying through a few trees and a rock and toppling into a house, which collapsed into rubble.

"You know, I've never really understood the concept of putting pain receptors into a robot," Prokaz admitted while Noah pushed the building off of him "If you ask my opinion, almost an intentional design flaw."

"Ya know... I learned a lot about biology on that island," Noah groaned as he stood up "Learned the value of pain, it's the way the body understands when it's in danger." He kicked the rubble out of his way "Now, you're in danger." He ran towards Prokaz, who smiled, ready for a fight.
