Z's Creed

Partners

Due to all the injuries, blood loss and burnt skin, Ryan's hair turned white and his face gave a new look after a surgery, though not much different than before, he thought as he looked at a broken a mirror. But this is Slater who is living this life now, not Ryan. But whether he is Ryan or Slater, he will always be Jacob's friend. And now he has to help his friend beat Sector. He has reached half way through the stairs, only another half and he'll make it to them.

Meanwhile

Z and Sector then charged towards each other and dashed through each other with their swords. Both gave a little pause then suddenly, Z instantly got a vertical cut through his left shoulder and he fell to his knees in pain as his blood sprang out. As for Sector, he got a cut through his right hip which barely knocked him down. Z then got up to his feet and looked at Sector who turned around slowly.

Z: I don't care how many wounds I am going to take from you, unless your dead I'll keep this up forever.
Sector: This won't last forever, this will end now.

Sector's eyes then turned red and activated his jet boots to levitate in the air and then flew towards Z in order to strike him. Z blocked it with his sword but still got pushed towards the wall along with Sector's sword still clashing against his. Sector looked at Z in the eye and started pushing his sword more towards Z's neck. He couldn't counter with his other hand as his shoulder was already wounded. So instead Z kicked the wounded hip of Sector and knocked him few feet away as he screamed in pain. The wound made Sector's movement slower so as he charged to towards Z, he managed to pull out his rifle and shoot Sector in the hip, knocking him down and damaging his wound even more. Z then flipped his rifle which reloaded it and then tried too shoot Sector, but he managed to dodge all of them by flying around with his jet boots and picked up his sword to cut the remaining bullets shot at him. Z was less on bullets, so he decided to continue fighting him with his sword.

Z: How are you able to move around with a wound like that?
Sector: So you noticed. That's gonna be a....SECRET.

End of the line. One last stop. Though he heard it described as 'secret', Z was loath to the last call the last round of the fight anything close to that since it took place in a building. And what a scene it was. Packed with the blood of all the people that faced the wrath of his sword, the only man he found honorable of the whole bunch was Sector, who stood at the edge opposite with his sword glinting in the late night.

This was insane. He knew it. Insane didn't mean the two remaining swords in the building-his, a katana and Sector's, a broadsword-hadn't spilled a lot of blood that day. Both swords looked almost red in the dying light. He made brief contact with Sector's red eyes, who only smirked at him. He didn't want to admit the move, he gave the man the edge, but it had.

Then they both pierced the ground with their sword and shot a wind blade towards with each other. As the wind blades collided, it destroyed the ceiling and floor around it and then Sector charged at him with his sword upheld, going to his fore swing and following it with a back swing. Z blocked the first attack and met the second with his sword. The strength of his sword which sent Sector's sword back, back, back...but not far enough to knock the sword free of his hand.

Sector used the force of his jet boots to push himself forward in order to strike Z. This arcing shot sliced the fabric of Z's leather jacket at the midsection. It missed the flesh behind it by perhaps a centimeter. Z was lucky to avoid that.

Sector staggered. Z swung. His sword missed, though not close enough to eat the fabric. Sector managed another smirk, this time at the spryness of his dodge. Z had to admit it was it impressive, but this time, the sight only made angrier.

As Slater kept on getting closer to Z and Sector, he saw a gas pipeline which lead directly to the room where Z and Sector were having their final battle. As it was clear in the staircase, it lead to a big machine. By its giant structure and color, it was easy to presume that it was connect to Project X. Slater then used Sector's to cut the pipe and gasoline slowly started pouring out.
