"Run!" She yelled this time as they both made for the run.

A loud growl escaped the Berserker's mouth as its pace quickened, running to capture them. Elektra ran faster in response, fear fastened the beat of her heart. Due to the Berserker's low agility, she knew running would a safe move.

She never had come across the Berserker before and she was afraid. She didn't know what to do and how to stop it. She remembered her father's stories about the Berserker. How only a few Protector ever came across it and only numbers of them were able to defeat it. He also told her how the monster would destroy everything that was in the way of its target. How it would attack viciously with no mercy and how it would not stop until its target is eliminated.

Henry stopped abruptly when he realized Elektra was no longer next to him and had stopped running. Her body was faced to the beast. Her sword was in her hands, gripped tightly as she stood en garde.

"Ela!" He shouted for her to run but she didn't move.

Running back to her, he grabbed her hand and started to pull her out of the danger but only to find her pulling away.

He looked at her with bewilderment. "What are you doing? We have to run!" He desperately spoke, eyeing the monster that was coming in their way.

Elektra shook her head at him. "The Berserker wouldn't stop until its target is eliminated. People will get hurt." She said. Her voice shook as she turned to him. "I am the target. Since it won't stop until it gets me, I have to eliminate it."

"You're mad!" He shouted.

"I'm not. Now, leave! Get out of here!" She yelled back, eyeing the monster that was getting closer to them.

"I'm not going anywhere without you."

"Run, Henry! I'm the target, not you!" She shoved him away but he still stood there next to her.

"I don't give a damn and I won't leave without you." He spoke with seriousness in his tone.

"You idiot! This is not the time-"

"Look out!"

Henry screamed as the Berserker swung its axe down, attempting to chop her. Elektra pushed her feet off the ground as she rolled away from the attack.

The beast ignored Henry who was a few feet away from it and turned as it made its way to Elektra.

She held up her sword above her head as the axe came down to her. She gritted her teeth as she struggled to keep the axe away from her since the Berserker was inhumanly strong. She jumped away, pulling her sword away as well, as the axe hit the ground.

She panted before letting out a cry of war as she ran to the Berserker. She leaped and swung her blade. She felt joy when she managed to leave a long cut on the Berserker's arm. The joy left her when the Berserker's hand hit her like a truck.

"Ela!" She heard Henry yell. She flew and fell to the ground.

Rolling to her sword as she picked it up, she blocked the Berserker's incoming attack. The monster bounded his axe repeatedly and Elektra did her best to block it.
