Chapter 13

"Quite the power there." Koga flatly commented. His gaze fleeted over the hole in the wall where Steve burrowed through. Dust and smoke clouded over the area. The area was slowly crumbling apart.

Zoey sent him a sharp look before exploding from the ground. She speed-headed towards Koga. Koga stayed stationary. He stayed indifferent to her intimidation with both of his hands inside his pocket. His cold red eyes held no interest and held no fear.

Zoey bellowed as she stretched her arms at Koga. He smiled lopsidedly and merely jumped back. Zoey's pointed nails punctured the cemented ground. Zoey snarled, her hands stuck.

"You got faster kid."

"Shut up!"

Zoey crushed the ground and resumed attacking again. She swung her arms, left , right, left and right multiple times. Koga swayed and stepped back, foot after foot. Zoey was hitting anything but Koga. She was fast but he was faster.

"You may have become quicker." Koga uttered in between Zoey's attacks, completely evading without any effort.

"Stay still damn it!" Zoey grunted, frustrated by her wasted attacks.

"But you're upsettingly predictable." One more missed attack and Koga took hold of Zoey's arm, it got her surprised. He pulled her towards him and hit Zoey's face against his shoulder. Zoey shuddered back but Koga didn't let go yet. He pulled her again and kneed her abdomen. He tightened his grip on her arm and threw her up like a discus.

Zoey hit the metals sheets of the roofing and crashed to the ground. She let out a sharp cry.

The crowd went wild.

"KOGA! KOGA! KOGA!"

"Don't think speed is all there is in combat." Koga remarked. He tapped the cloth of his blazer that was stained with Zoey's blood. He made a 'tch' sound. "This will not do." He muttered to himself. He removed his blazer and dropped it on the ground. He loosened his tie.

"No matter how fast you get, if your opponent is always one step ahead. It's useless."

Zoey tottered up. Her wounds smoked again and she healed.

Koga was right. She was attacking recklessly, trying so hard to get a hit. It was lame. She needed to step her game up. But how exactly?

'There's gotta be more than speed and regeneration in this form.' Zoey thought. She then remembered how she finished up Johnny.

Koga cracked his neck. "Come." He stood low and defensively. "I know there is more under your sleeve." He coolly added. "It's what you're thinking right?"

The sea of red eyes cheered for Koga. He was surely someone not to be messed with. He was a veteran, formidable and always unfazed. She cussed. She was having a hard time and he was not even in his metamorphosis yet.

"Shit."

Koga noticed the glint in her eyes. Zoey was planning something. He just smirked.

"Try me kid."

Zoey exploded from the ground again and copied exactly what she tried to do the last time. Koga cocked an eyebrow. "Again?"

She dived harder than the previous. He stepped back again and her bullet dive missed as expected. However, Zoey made sure it would miss so her impact would create an explosion of dust. Dust from the impact created a smokescreen.

Koga used his arms to protect himself from the dust. He coughed. The dust barely made anything visible. He was about to jump back away from the cloud of dust all over him when a tiny flash in front of him caught his attention which was then followed by a sharp piercing noise.
