Stun-Man: The Masters stories 2

Chapter 29: Dual

Sebastian already had a plan laid out. He would need use up all on Don's regular power in order to force his body into the magical power. It would make things a lot easier for both of them.

"Alrighty, I'm gonna need you to focus really hard on my movements to prove to yourself that I'm not using some kind of super speed." Sebastian called out with his arms crossed.

Don starred directly at Sebastian, waiting patiently. Sebastian closed his eyes, and a split second later, he teleported behind Don. Don searched the area but was completely oblivious to Sebastians whereabouts were.

"Over here, big guy." Sebastian called out. Don turned around in surprise. Sebastian smiled. "Wanna try hitting me now?"

"Oh hell yeah!" Don got excited by the challenge. "This is going to be fun!"

Sebastian waved Don towards him. He was a little concerned about why Don was getting excited, but didn't think much of it. "Then bring it."

Don smirked. He took one slow step then bolted straight for Sebastian. Sebastian almost jumped at the speed but teleported away as Don threw a punch at him.

"Wha..?" Don asked confused.

"You'll have to try harder than that." Sebastian said a bit further away from Don. He wanted to sigh in relief out of dodging the attack, but he knew there was no time and there was a lot more coming his way.

Don grunted as he forced himself back up and darted to him once again. And he did so multiple times. Each one ended with the same outcome. Sebastian teleported away with plenty of time to spare.

"You're a lot slower than you were before. Why is that?" Sebastian finally said.

"You want me to get faster? Fine!" Don said, a little out of breath. He stood up straight and focused all his power in changing into Mock One. "HaaaaAAAAA!!!"

His muscles shrunk a bit as Sebastian could feel the room shake. Don yelled out ,"Now we get serious!"

Sebastians expression changed. "Then bring it!"

Don shot off faster than he originally did. Sebastian was struggling so much to teleport fast enough not to get hit.

"EeehhAAAAA!!!" Don screamed as he continued pushing himself faster and faster. He went all out with one final punch. And he landed it directly on Sebastians chest. Sebastian teleported away as he got punched so when he reappeared, he was knocked back.

"Gah!" He grunted as he fell to the ground. Sebastian was lucky that wasn't​ a strong punch. He could have died.

"Puff... Puff... Puff..." Don was completely out of energy. He used all his power to land that single punch. He fell to his knees catching his breath. Don was forced out of Mock One.

Sebastian rolled to his side and coughed. The punch caught him off guard and knocked the wind out of him. Luckily, his body was in good enough shape to where it wasn't a devistating blow. He slowly got up. "I was really not expecting that out of you, Don. That surprised me. But now, ungh, how are you feeling?"

"I... I'm out... I need to catch my breath. I'm out of power now." Don had sweat dripping down his cheek.

The two took another break. "You know, if that had gone on any longer, I would probably have started to run low on my powers."

"Really?" Don seemed surprised. "I thought you were training so much you'd have more than that."

"I do. But it's just that I've been training so hard that I need time to have it recoverd. Just like your regular powers. You can have your body heal, but your powers take more time."

Don nodded.

"Well, now that we got that done, I'm going to teach you how to teleport." Sebastian helped Don to his feet. "Now the trick that I learned is, you want to try focusing on a certain location you want to go, and your distance limit is basically how far you can see."

Don had the expression of confusion. "And?"

"Well, this is the tricky part. You have to move without moving."

Don sighed. Sebastian knew that he sounded like a crazy person.

"Look, I know that this is going to be difficult. I only learned to do it by accident. But I do have an idea. Look over to the door." Don did as he was told and looked at the way they came in. "Use the feeling of flying to get there, but at the same time, try just walking there."

D.J. closed his eyes. In a matter of seconds, Sebastian saw smoke waving it's way around Don's body. "My god... Already?" He whispered to himself.

A few seconds later, "Gah!" Don was apparently holding his breath.

"Breath, Don, Breath." Sebastian started to sound desperate. "Just a little bit more concentration." If he can learn to do it today, it would prove that he is way more powerful than anyone could have guessed.

Don regained his breath and tried again. He kept breathing this time but it wasn't good.

"Just relax", Sebastian coached him. "Take it easy."

Don took in one final breath and steadied his breathing. He tried one last time and...

He failed. He opened his eyes and saw he didn't get anywhere. "Damn..." He whispered to himself.

"It's fine. I was taught that this stuff takes months, if not years." Sebastian patted him on the shoulder. "I learned it in a couple of days so you should be able to do the same."

"Alright." Don said a little depressed as he got up. "Well, I guess we should keep going until -"

A split second later and Sebastian saw Don at the entrance exactly where he was aiming for. "!"

"Don, you did it!" Sebastian yelled in excitement. "That had to be the fastest timing in history!"

The two were in high spirits after that. Sebastian saw that Don was able to use the magic more and more in a controlled manner. He was taught everything Sebastian planned for him. But Sebastian also wanted to teach Don other techniques he could use with his regular powers, but since the two had made extraordinary progress, Sebastian decided that Don should just go home.

"Ahem, well anyways, I think you should go home now. I talked to your mom and she's supposed to pick you up this afternoon." Sebastian needed to do a few things while he ha the chance to.

"Really? That gives me enough time to..." Don trailed off into thought. He looked over to Sebastian who had a smirk on his face. "Can I..?"

Sebastian nodded. Don immediately got up and wrapped some of the bandages on himself again. He was about to leave, but Sebastian called out to him.

"Don, before you go, I wanted to say something..."

Don hesitated but came back. "Yeah, what's up?"

"I know things haven't been going right for you. I can sense it. Most importantly, I can sense that your heart hurts. You miss him, don't you?" Sebastian had been sensing strong emotions from Don. The strongest was hurt. "I know that my father was like your father as well. He actually cared for you like you were one of his own. So please. Don't let his death get you down. Not like me. Make him proud."

He put one hand on Don's shoulder. Don then had a surprised look on his face and Sebastian knew that Don could now sense a little bit of emotion, and all he could sense from Sebastian was hurt.

"Yeah... We'll both make him proud." Don said, trying to cheer him up.

Don headed towards the door, then turned around. "Thank you."

"Don't thank me now, wait till the training comes to good use." Sebastian answered. And Don left for whatever business he had.
