A Crumbling Society

Part 1-28

Starlight

Antakarta got back up, immediately sending beams at me from his eyes again, I blocked with the same shield. He was running at me and I him, I slid under as he attempted to grab me. Quickly getting to my feet I blasted him from behind, sending several waves of star blasts. Turning at me, it seemed like they didn't do any damage, he broke a pillar beside him and came at me again. This time swinging in hopes to hit me, I jumped over the first one landing on the end of the pillar. Using this to spring myself up I focused on his face first, more beams got blocked and then I sent several blasts from around me. These hit him in all directions giving me a chance to land. He was mad and tossed the object in his hand my way and I evaded rolling sideways. Getting back up he was making his way again this time with boulders in his hands throwing them to get me off guard. I shattered them with larger blasts. It might be time to go harder, I used a light shield and shoved it towards him stopping him in his wake. Starting to bash it with his fists it started cracking. He backed up a few feet and charged at the pink wall causing it to explode and shimmer out. Going airborne, allowed me to speed up my attack time, throwing star blasts, larger in size this time seemed to be making a difference. Tossing one after the other he was being shoved from side to side as I attacked all around.

I flew passed him having just blasted him and he grabbed on, tossing me across the way I smashed into the wall. It took me a second to get back up, but he was already here, grabbing me again to stand me up he started the first round of punches. The second came shortly after and then I'd had enough, clinging to his arm I lit my hands up, burning him. I didn't let up, I wanted it to hurt back, he eventually retched loudly so I knew it had affected him. Antakarta kicked a foot backwards catapulting me back a few feet, I used my flight to stabilize and stand straight up. Extending my arm out and holding it with the other to make it sturdy I began shooting at him. Pink light bullets went off in rounds like a machine gun. I lifted into the air again to get aerial coverage, circling him as he was thinking of what to do. Grabbing another rock, he chucked it my way, but I missed it by gliding to the right. Above me the ceiling above me exploded on impact. Some of the debris clocked me in the neck causing me to glide back down. Without a second to waste, he was above me once more, starting the punches, I turned to my side to crawl away, and he took a deep kick into my gut. This tossed me down a few feet causing me to twirl against the ground. Catching up, Antakarta wasted no time in pressing me into the ground with his knee. Leaning in, "You're going to die and I'm going to enjoy this", he whispered in my ear.

Enough I thought, I can't do this the subtle way, I hold back because I'm a superhero, I have an image to uphold. Right now is not the time to try and do that, it's time to do this for everyone who tried and failed, who lost their lives. Supernova I thought, and this time I didn't blur out, it happened naturally. My whole body turned into a bright pink star; I'm going all out I thought. "Tell it to my champion form", I told him grabbing his knee. I opened my mouth to holler but I just breathed cosmic energy on his knee that burned him even worse, he began screaming. It freed me and I flew around, flying fast I came in for the blow and punched him clean in the same spot I just burned. You could hear the cracking coming from inside his leg, for some reason he acted like this didn't hurt as much. He decided to go into the air too, chasing me around shooting beams in turns, they landed on the walls and the ceiling causing more damage. Some of my teammates caught themselves or jumped out of the way. The two of us ended up blasting through the building and headed for the sky. When I slowed down to check where he was since the beams stopped, he was right there catching up. Throwing more punches, we took turns blocking and throwing more. I landed some on him this time, hitting his face and then his gut, kicking him in turn causing him to fly back. Shooting towards him with a trail of light, grabbing tightly, I took him towards a nearby mountain on the island and tackled him into it. Laying punch after punch to get even with him, dragging him through rocks and mud and continuously landing hits.
