Zen shakes his head as I rub my shoulder. "You aren't used to fighting, are you?" He asks as I nod. "Well, you were always stronger than me. Maybe that's changed!" Zen yells as he quickly grabs my arm and teleports us to hell. I quickly jump back as he laughs. "This should be fun." He mumbles as he summons a sword covered in flames. "Come on Kai, give me a challenge." He says as he teleports to me. As I start to summon Nirioki, he vanishes and kicks me in my back. I get knocked forward 20 feet or so. I quickly roll to my feet as he appears and kicks me in my ribs and launches me nearly a hundred feet back. I stand up as he appears at me. "I'm gonna keep hitting you harder!" He yells as I cut through his arm. He quickly jumps back and laughs. "I have some of the fastest regeneration!" He yells as red energy forms around where his arm was. As it vanishes, his arm is back. "Everyone has grown stronger, except you. I let you hit me, but I won't let you hit me again." He says as I enter my second release. He quickly enters his second release as we jump toward each other. As our sword collide, I'm the one that gets knocked back. I land on my feet 80 feet away. "See, I'm stronger than you now." He says holding his arms out. "You won't beat me. I have turned Satan into a title of mass power." He says as I teleport behind him and throw a kick. He instantly turns around and blocks it with his sword. It burns my foot and I jump back. He laughs and swings his sword around. "This sword has flames several times the heat of lava. But that's nothing compared what I can really do." Zen says grinning. I grit my teeth as his sword vanishes. I quickly teleport to him and swing my sword. A wall of flames appears and I jump away. Zen smiles and looks to me. "I'm just having fun." He says as I see a large spire of fire form around Zen. It raises far above the ground and starts expanding rapidly. I quickly teleport several miles away and look back. The wall of fire is rapidly expanding. "It'll be here in a minute or so." I mumble as I sigh. I enter my 3rd release and summon Evony. "I'm done playing this stupid game." I mumble as I swing as hard as I can. A wave of black and white energy rips through the air and collides with the fire wall. There's as massive explosion that cancels them both out. I teleport to Zen and swing again. As the flame wall rises, I cut through it. Zen quickly jumps up as I stare at him. He grows a pair of large black wings. "Satan is a title that will be feared. How about we stop holding back. 4th releases for both of us." He says as I grit my teeth. Suddenly an explosion of red energy engulfs Zen. The shockwave sends me flying backwards. I jam my sword into the ground and stop myself. As I look up I see that I'm a mile away from Zen. There's a mile wide crater where he entered his 4th release. Suddenly he appears infront of me. There's red cracks on his skin and red energy is slowly flowing out of the cracks. "This is the true power of hell!" Zen yells as he throws a punch. I quickly enter my 4th release to survive the attack. I block his fist with my sword but in the blink of an eye, I'm far beyond the limits of my vision. I can't even begin to estimate how far away I am. There's a massive trench formed from the straight line I followed. It starts nearly 50 feet from me and is around 100 feet wide. That was pretty concentrated. I think as I channel energy into Evony. As I start to teleport, Zen appears in front of me and punches me in the stomach. He punches me upward and in an instant I'm extremely high. As I look down, all the mountains and buildings look like specs. My body is numb and its hard to move. I fall for several minutes. Soon I hit the ground and crater it. There's a 100 foot crater from where I landed. After a moment I can move again. I stand up and notice I barely have a scratch. "Then why couldn't I move." I mumble as Zen appears. He sighs and stares at me. "I can use my energy like Sinclair did. Remember when she used her energy to paralyze demons? Same idea. I forced some of my energy into your body and halted all movement. After a minute though, your energy will cancel it out." Zen says as he grins. "I told you, I've gotten alot stronger." He says as I sigh. "Well, I haven't fought in 5 years really, so I'd hope you'd be stronger than me." I say as Zen pops his knuckles. "I've been training with several people for 5 years straight now." He says as I smile. "Well I hope you're using your powers for good." I say as he smiles. "Yea yea. I have to, or Velon would probably come to kill me." He says as we both laugh. As we both revert to our normal forms, I fall to my knees and cough up a little blood. "Damn, definitely not used to that." I say as Zen laughs. He sits down and sighs. "I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt me to use my 4th release." He says as I stand up slowly. "Kai, trust me. Somethings coming, I can feel it. Something big. I can't explain it. We need you to join the fight though. You need to start training again." Zen says as he looks at me. "I know. I feel it too." I mumble as a silence sweeps the area. "Well, thanks for fighting me. Reminds me of the good old days. Before everything went to shit." Zen says as I smile. "Yea."
