A Crumbling Society

Part 1-27

Phanta

A few explosions can't stop me, I knocked Atomica hard on the ground, rolling off of her afterwards. We got back up and she wiped her hair out of her face, she started running and then blasted the ground to jump high. My head followed her above and last second, she exploded the air shooting down my way. She crashed right into me with a blow to the face. While I staggered, she exploded small bits of air near me throwing me backwards further, I landed on my side. I hadn't even recovered, and she was already sprinting towards me, I looked around and saw massive sized rocks. Throwing them at her seemed like the best option, I have super strength, so they felt like pebbles in my hands. I was still lying on the ground chucking these rocks at her and she exploded some out of the way and others she hit with her fists. It gave me time to stand but she had already gone back into the air coming at me full force, boots first. A split second and I moved out of the way, her body coiled past, but I took my chance. Throwing in a punch I knocked her out of rotation, and she flew into two pillars destroying both of them.

Walking with caution I headed towards her as she wasn't out yet, the rubble exploded off of her. She was extremely mad now; her hands flew back and forth towards me causing multiple explosions to build up. A trail of fire made its way closer and closer, there was nothing I could do, it blasted me on impact flipping me backwards. I plowed straight into the wall behind me causing it to crack. There was no time to collect myself Atomica was already heading towards me; both her hands connected, the whole wall exploded. Giant bricks covered me as they hit my face and landed on top of me holding my body down. It was dark, but I could still here her, "get up", she demanded, now standing in front of the pile of stone. A minute later I had thrown all the debris off of me and started at her with my fists. Left swing, then right, then gut, back to right I gave punching combinations. She blocked the left but took the right and then shook off the gut punch. Grabbing my fist on the second right punch she twisted it sideways pulling her other hand up. The energy building to explode at close range, I waited. Feeling the pain in my arm I toughed it out for a second. Right as I felt it was time, I grabbed her hand and forced it back, it exploded right as it touched her own face. Her scream was loud and excruciating, one of true pain.

More and more explosions were sent to me, and I dodged them as best I could. Ducking and rolling, even backflipping into a cartwheel through most of them. When I stopped, she was close by giving her all with a flaming punch. I moved downward missing it, her other fist was ready and began moving in, I dodged that one too throwing my body sideways. Her legs began chasing me with kicks that missed but were determined to land. I sort of crawled my way around to avoid contact with explosions before standing back up. We kept fighting, her anger getting worse because I was evading everything, she sent me. A few more items in the area got blown up and fire soared around us, I was done playing. She threw a few more explosions my way but I ran past them, launching myself in the air. Landing, I had to be quick I began to run at her from the other side now and slid to the ground, this allowed me to slide underneath. As she checked behind her, she didn't see me, upon looking back I had stopped in my path, I whipped my legs back and pushed off the ground with my hands. My boots met her jaw upon launch, and it forced her into the air. She was now in mid backflip, and I was able to stand quick enough. Putting all my weight on my leg, I hoisted the other up to land a kick that sent her pummeling into the wall. Atomica looked around to find me, her hand twitching beside her body on the ground. Small sparks attempted to make an appearance but faded as she went unconscious.

Afterlife

Lunar Witch cancelled out my mist with her staff that appeared. I became my full self right in front of her, she began swinging at me and I dodged as best I could. She ended up pointing the staff at me and zapping me, it felt like an electric current running through my body. I ran in for a hit and she stepped backwards, I missed, and she swiped my leg with the end of the staff. Landing in a kneel she placed the crescent side over my neck, "you're weak", she began telling me. I had to think, be hasty isn't the best option, think about my training even though it's been a few years, think about how the others would do this. Snapping back, I grabbed her hips and cast a shadow beneath her, slowly pulling her down. We sank into the ground, I stepped out but she was stuck waist deep in the ground and I was able to knock the staff out of her hands. I told her she wouldn't be needing it and through it into another shadow, my shadow voids will keep her from summoning it again. Her eyes began to glow, and a rumble grew louder from under her, water began spouting out of where she was stuck. This allowed her to break free, jumping out of the hole.
