Yang and the Sins

Chapter 2: Pride

The group entered into the cave on guard for anything that could happen, Sly and Pluto stayed in between the rest of group being the weakest ones. They traveled deeper into the cave until they saw a fire with a few shadows surrounding it. They approached the fire and four figures stood up around it they giggled and they left going deeper in the cave all except one Yang could make out some features on his face but since he stood in front of the fire IS was hard to see. The figure snapped its fingers and the fire went away leaving the cave pitch black. A loud scream echoed from the center of the group, they all turned to face it but it stopped suddenly and Pluto was missing along with Sly. Yang demanded everyone move on ahead while he took this one down and comforted them, mainly Nathan, by saying he'll be done fast. They pushed on ward with Yin creating a divine flame for them to see. As the man went to step in their way Yang stepped in front of him holding his arms out and his legs spread. He smirked although he doubted it was visible he had been training for about a year and was prepared to fight. After Yin and the rest went by the room lit up there was a clear separation of light one of a black flame created by Yang and one of an Orange flame created by the other man. There was a visible hold in the wall Yang suspected that's where Sly and Pluto were taken off to. He made eye contact with the figure and heard "I can feel the Pride in your soul" he exhaled sharply "I assume you're pride then?" He saw Pride grin and step back a little ways creating room between the two he gestured pointing to his nose. Yang found this amusing but he was still motivated as ever to kill. Yang got into his fighting stance and so did Pride, the two stared at each other for a short time until Yang took the first move he dashed forward and punched Pride in the gut. Pride was taken back a little by Yang's speed but he was impressed. Pride placed his hands onto Yang's back and emitted fire from them that pierced through Yang's shoulder then disappeared leaving the blood to drip from the holes. Yang sharply exhaled impressed by Pride's reaction, but in counter he bit Pride's shoulder and chomped as hard as his jaws could until a piece of his shoulder was severed. Yang spit it out as blood poured from Pride. Pride was taken back unaware of his opponents craze. Yang then followed up with his attack by forming a lion faced ceastus over his hand and punched Pride in the sids of his head. Pride stumbled back in a confused panicked state he couldn't say or do anything. The only thing he managed was a scream that echoed throughout the cave. Yang chuckled and asked "why do you fight?" The question calmed Pride a little and he was able to think. He said "why do I fight?" Repeating the question "I fight for the pride in my family and for the pride in my abilities" Yang chuckled and smashed his fist into Pride's head. Blood splattered all over his ceastus and his clothes. The ceastus disappeared as the blood dropped from his clothes to the floor and the fire around them went out. All that remained were the black flames Yang created. He then ventured into the little door he saw previously to look for Sly and Pluto thinking Yin, and the rest would be fine.
