"You're comin' back downstairs with me." he marched his way toward you

A force from your hand shot at him, and he dodged this by rolling onto the floor.

His pale skin was painted with the blood of his comrades, and he didn't have a care in the world. It almost looked like he enjoyed it.

It infuriated you that it wasn't his blood. You wanted him dead. No, you needed him dead.

Each time he jumped close, you threw an attack. Some hit the walls behind, others were airballs.

He'd given up finally understanding it was no use to get to you. Not in this area at least. So instead, he ran.

This shocked you. He wasn't the running type.

You didn't trust him enough to follow his direction. Despite this, the overwhelming urge for revenge overtook you. So, you followed anyway.

His footsteps echoed up the halls, and then a door slammed shut ahead.

Peering around the corner, you noticed it was a stairwell to a roof.

You hesitantly but surely made your way up. Instead of continuing to sneak, you kicked the door down at the top.

Gusts of wind blew against you, forcing an arm up to shield your eyes. While you squinted, you heard him say "Why don't we visit our old fighting grounds?"

The wind stopped, and there he stood, clear as day. There wasn't an ounce of fear in him, like always. He was insane, and it showed.

The roof being stood upon was far wider than illumis. A bigger fighting area.

To the right was a helicopter parked. It wasn't any bigger than the one you crash-landed in. To the left, there was nothing but open air.

Your focus shifted back to zaryian after scoping out the area.

It was time for him to die.

Fury surrounded you, which appeared to be your aura.

His aura did the same, only it was full of excitement and ambition

He threw his hands up to a fist, then slammed them down on the concrete. The waves of his nen shook the ground and travelled beneath your feet throwing you off balance

zaryian used this as a distraction to attack. His fist was an inch away from connecting when you
jumped out of the way.

He grunted as you threw him back with your nen. He planted his feet to stay standing, not travelling far. You'd forgotten how strong he was.

Zaryian focused his nen in his legs to launch quickly at you throwing another blow. This time, it hit your shoulder. You didn't dodge quickly enough

The impact pushed you back onto the ground. Looking up, zaryian was ready to plow your face into the floor. You rolled to the side. His fist hit the ground creating a huge hole.

You wondered what would've happened if that was your head.

He sat on all fours for a second before swiftly turning around, and throwing something your way.

It was stone. Stone concrete that he broke from his punch.

It was inches away from plowing into your face as you backflipped.
