The Last Heroes: Warriors Against The Sinful

Chapter 1.8: The second Immortal!

Franco and Tedashii stood forward to begin their fight. Rin and Adrian drew a square on the ground, big enough to make them both move freely, and Makoto was then in charge of the battle.

"Alright, the rules are simple. You push your opponent out of the square or knock them out. READY, SET, GO!!"

Tedashii was getting ready to use his stance and leaped at Franco. But then Franco created the same red orb from before and expanded it. Tedashii went straight for a punch to the barrier, but immediately, it repulsed him back and out of the circle.

BZZZZZZZT!!!

"OUCH!!" Tedashii fell as he found himself out of the box.

Everyone was not baffled to see Tedashii get beaten so easily, knowing how much help Franco's attack was to them. "Well, the rules are the rules. I'm the new captain, so beat it, Spike!"

"But that match was unfair! All you did was use space to win; where's the skill in that?!"

Everyone began to dart down to the ground to make Tedashii comprehend that rules are rules. And so they all began to walk away from him as if everything they'd been through had never transpired.

"WAIT! I have a proposal!" Adrian said as he turned his attention to Tedashii. "It's a law found in the conduct of duels. For Tedashii to get rewarded another chance against the current captain of a guild, which in this case is Franco, he will have to beat one of us. Then the rematch is official. What do you guys say?"

Franco stopped as he heard what Adrian said. "HAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S the rule? Alright then, I like it! Well, Spike, pick your opponent. But remember, everyone here is strong as hell."

With Franco personally knowing all of them, he could already feel the strengths within them. This gave him a good status as the captain. Tedashii was thinking deeply about who his opponent should be. It had to be someone that wouldn't put him at a disadvantage. He glanced toward Leah, but she was a girl. He looked at Genti but thought he'd drown him to submitting. He glanced at Yuro but knew he was crazy; Makoto had a gun. He didn't even look at Ado, for he already had a problem with electric users. His last pick was between Rin, the light user; Adrian, the speedster; and Suzuki, his 'sort of' younger brother.

"Alright, I've decided. I'll fight you."

He pointed towards his opponent as Rin opened his eyes wide. "Huh, why me?"

"I don't know; you look the easiest to beat."

Rin was prompted. "EASIEST ONE TO BEAT!?!? HAVE YOU SEEN ADRIAN BY ANY CHANCE!?!?"

He looked at Adrian, but Tedashii knew that speed versus speed would wear him down. "Nah, I'll defeat you and regain my leadership spot, alright? So don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

The reaction on Rin's face was inexpressible. The amount of devaluation Tedashii poured out to him enraged him. So, without holding back, he prepared for the fight.

Everyone else went to the top of the trees to keep their distance, and Tedashii wasted no time using his stance Surge.

~HAKURAA!!!

BWOOSH!!

He transformed into an apparition and went full speed around Rin. Everyone was amazed by Tedashii's speed.

"WOAH! Look at him go!" Yuro said.

"As a lightning type, I agree that he is fairly fast," Ado replied.

They all praised him, but the only two who didn't were Adrian and Genti. As beast prowess types, they knew the downside of speed against them. Franco stopped smiling, for he was somewhat disjointed at what he saw. ("To think this guy is a calamity? This must be a joke. He technically doesn't know how to analyze his adversary. Beast Prowess is the power given to those with the trait of an animal. Rin was given the Feline trait, and with one million senses, they see kinetic energy at a slower pace. So speed is useless against him.")
