Challenging The Absence

Chapter 3: Kasai Vs. Soul

"FUCK YOU!" Soul went straight for Kasai's throat, but Kasai ducked under Soul, coming back under him and carrying him on his shoulder. Soul writhed and slashed at Kasai, unable to hit him. Kasai simply raised a hand and snapped his fingers. "Coordinate Uniitus!!"  He shouted, and he blinked from sight.

Kasai and Soul were now outside. Soul was on the ground about 20 meters away. They were in a clearing in the forest, surrounded by trees, bushes, and beautiful flowers.

Kasai stood straight, peering at soul, his fists in his pockets. "Soul, buddy. Don't do this. You know you can't beat me, and doing so- or attempting to be some hero wont make you look like any less of a coward, wolf-boy." Kasai stepped up towards Soul slowly, but Soul scrambled to his feet, teary eyed. Soul said, through gritted teeth, "I won't l-let you do this! Who know's?! Maybe you're really Dr. Shade!" He then lunged for Kasai's throat with his long claw-like nails. A wall of fire went up between them, and Soul threw himself through. He came through the other side, badly burnt and damaged, but Kasai wasn't there. Now he was behind Soul. 

"Stop attacking me, You know you can't win, right?" Kasai only stood there, making no attempt to be aggressive or intimidating. Soul attacked again, but Kasai only stepped out of the way. Kasai didn't expect Soul to catch himself and turn around, attacking again. He tried to move, but it was too late. Soul tore open Kasai's upper arm, along with his sweater. Soul attacked again, slashing Kasai's cheek. Kasai looked calm, but a bit irritated. 

"Now, what was the point of that? Now I'm bleeding. This is going to be a pain to sew back up, you know that?" Sweat began to bead on Kasai's forehead. Soul lunged at him again, anticipating his dodge. Kasai didn't dodge though- he only landed a massive punch on Soul's face, launching him several feet and knocking him down. He started writhing and screaming in pain. "My feef! You hucked up my feef!" 

Soul's voice cracked in panic. Kasai only laughed back. Do you want to go back to the Den and see if Kal can fix it?" Soul nodded vigorously. "Then behave yourself. Come here." Kasai grabbed Soul by the arm and they teleported back to the center of the base. 

Everyone gasped when they saw Kasai's arm leaking blood like a fountain. Kal gasped the hardest. "Oh my god what happened to you?! Are you okay?!" Kasai nodded his head. "You know I am- but I need you to fix this guys teeth. I got him real good," Kasai didn't smile but only wore a blank expression. "Kas', what about your arm?" Kal said worryingly. "I'll have Chimp analyze it. Don't want you wasting energy healing something that will heal itself," Kasai said as he walked towards the the northwest side of the room, walking through the door and closing it gently behind him.

"Chimp, awaken." A small robot, maybe 2 feet tall, sprang to life in the on a desk. He was a shiny silver color, with green accents here and there, and a mouth like a dummy. His head was rounded, along with his limbs. He appeared very friendly, and not lethal at all. 

"Hello Kasai! What would you like assista- Oh my god. What happened this time?" Chimp said, with a robotic yet sarcastic and blunt voice. "One of out guests turned hostile," Kasai half smiled. Chimp chuckled. "Did you get him back?" Chimp asked, his eyes lighting up in anticipation. "Oh yeah. His teeth are all messed up." Chimp laughed like a Hyena. "Well, he deserved it. No one messes with my creator and gets away with it!" Chimp turned his head toward the ceiling and crossed his arms.

"Right. Anyway, back to business. So, my arm, can you tell me what's up with it?' Kasai sat backwards on the chair, facing towards Chimp, who was sitting on the desk. "Well, the wound looks pretty deep, though the blood loss is less than what it would be if he hit anything major. However, the use of that particular part of the arm- the upper bicep- will b severely hindered by that gash, since most movements can re-open the wound. As far as infection goes, it looks like it was cut with a claw or nails, and since we don't know what these guys are up to, I'd suggest we clean it and bandage it." Kasai smiled. "Man am I glad Kal helped me add medical knowledge to your memory."
