HOW TO MAKE A GOD

Chapter Thirteen - Could You Give A Hand?

The Fiend started to attack Mercy faster, catching her off guard. Then when she slashed Mercy she flew to the ground being lodged into the stone.

"Ugh. It's pouring out more of its Peak." She thought to herself looking at the cut.

Mercy got up to stand her ground when she saw Maximum coming up to them quickly.

"CAPTAIN JUMP AND DIVE AND I'LL HANDLE THE REST!" He yelled out to her. The Fiend turned around and noticed Maximum. Mercy jumped into the air and started to run on it, waiting for Maximum's signal.

"He's using Upper Limit?!" She asked herself staring at Maximum. The dark hue around him made her shiver a little a bit, feeling a different aura from him.

Maximum took a swing but missed, then he went in for a kick that connected on the Fiend's knee. He didn't stop as he swung again with his sword aiming at the Fiend's chest. His sword left a wound and made the Fiend start to bleed. She looked down at the blood then back at Maximum and formed a twisted smile on her face.

"I've never leaked this much blood..."

Maximum still didn't let up his onslaught of attacks and called for Mercy to dive down.

She jumped down headfirst and kicked her foot in the air to crash down faster. Then she did a backflip and put her feet in front of her.

The Fiend saw exactly where she was going to land and tried to dodge to the left at the right moment for a counterattack. Maximum slashed the Fiend right before she dodged in her wing, then shoulder bashed her to move her back a couple of inches.

Mercy came crashing down and landed a direct hit on the Fiend's head, hearing her skull crack. The stone trembled underneath them and a crater was formed. Mercy jumped back and seen Maximum exhaling hard. He cupped his hands together again and his hue disappeared, he instantly fell to the ground trying to catch his breath.

"Lee..he's still trapped...he might be...holding on to living." He got out in between several breaths

Mercy started to walk over towards him when she heard the Fiend get up behind her.

"MERCY!" Maximum screamed as she turned around. When he seen a horrific sight.

The Fiend moved quickly and cut Mercy's right arm completely off, landing a couple of inches beside her.

"What?!" she asked shocked looking over her shoulder.

"You got me, I applaud the both of you." The Fiend said. Part of her head was all mush, even missing an eye.

Mercy fell to the ground holding where her arm used to be. She tried to grab for her spear when the Fiend crouched to her and started to lick her blood. Then her eyes became big, and she started to aggressively drink the blood leaking from Mercy's wound. Mercy flailed herself trying to get the Fiend off of her, but it was to no avail.

The Fiend then cut her left arm off as she was fighting which caused her to scream profusely.

Maximum's mouth was wide open as he was seeing his Captain, and dear friend getting tortured in front of him.

"No...no no no, CAPTAIN!" He yelled then he cupped his hands together again, the dark hue beginning to form around him again.

"Remember son, this power is also dangerous. Don't overdo it or you can save goodbye to being a great Warrior just like your old man!" His dad's voice echoed in his head.

Maximum's left eye began to change into a light green color. He tried to do the same with his other eye, but it wouldn't work.

"I can't go all the way, I'll lose my life if I go even further". He said with his hue largely covering his body.

He darted across the stone and almost instantly met with the Fiend. He punched her and she stumbled not thinking it would cause that much of an impact.

"Dangerous." She spoke.

They continued fighting when Lee finally opened his eyes and got up slowly.

"That place...did the sky reject me?" He said looking at his arms then looked up to see Maximum fighting with the Fiend with his black hue. He looked more to the right and seen Mercy in her current state, backing up away from the other two and leaving a trail of blood behind her.

Lee clenched his fist with strong winds forming around him.

Then he started to run towards the battle with a whole new feeling.
