Budder Rising: The Delacroix Arc

Chapter Seventy: The End Games

As I came back down to the ground, I used both my hands to push myself backward.

"Fuck!" I cried in pain.

My left arm buckled and I crashed into the ground, rolling a few feet away from Delacroix's destruction. I was right, my arm was broken.

"Dammit! I was distracted!!" Delacroix said

He was wide open! I got up, pulling my arm back to attack

"Ragghhh!! I shouted

My fist slammed into Delacroix's cheek, but...

"W...w...what?!" I rasped

His head didn't move from the impact of my punch, in fact he didn't budge at all! He turned his head to face me, and he had the biggest smile anyone could have on their face. This man had a huge ego, and it was hungry

"You may be fast, but your not strong enough to hurt me!" Delacroix laughed

He threw a fist into my gut. A loud cough escaped my mouth, blood spilling out in the process. I tumbled backwards across the ground, hitting the metal frame of the nuke. My head shot back from the impact, slamming it into the nuke. It made me dizzy.

"Wow Dash, this is just sad, where is the cocky little brat i've come to hate!" Delacroix laughed

"So, you have powers huh?" I gasped

"I'm sure you have noticed by now. To save you the trouble of asking, my powers are Enhanced Strength and Enhanced Durability, you are clearly outmatched" Delacroix said

I smiled as I wiped of the remaining blood off my mouth, starting to laugh. Delacroix looked confused, this was starting to become fun.

"Ah alright, that's good. Cause now I don't need to hold back!!" I laughed

I ran towards him, throwing a punch. He caught it, but that's what I was intending to happen

"What are you going to do now Dash?" Delacroix laughed

I grinned as I threw a punch with my left hand, my broken hand slammed into Delacroix, he stumbled back, not expecting the attack. I cried in pain, this really fucking hurt! Delacroix wiped of the blood dripping from his nose.

"Y...you hit me with your...broken arm?" Delacroix asked.

I smiled as I clenched my left hand into a fist, It was purple and swollen.

"Like I said, if I'm dying your going with me!!" I said

He spat in disgust as he charged for me again, but I was ready this time. He threw a punch towards me, but I pushed his hand out of the way and used it to launch myself into the air, I flipped around and threw my leg down, I knew my attack wasn't going to do anything, but I wasn't going to stop fighting. He also came at me with his leg, I had to be quick to avoid it, quickly dashing to the right, I pounded at his chest, I couldn't feel my left arm at this point

"Why are you even trying Dash? No matter what you do, you won't do anything to me" Delacroix asked

"You said that one of your powers was increased durability, right?" I asked

I smiled, leaning forward ready to attack.

"That means there's a limit to how much physical stress you can take" I said

:------:

"Let me go!" cried Abby

"We can't!! you know what Dash said" Mercedees replied

"I don't care what he said!! I need to help him!" Abby shouted

Mercedees checked her watch, it had already been a total of 33 minutes since Dash went in to fight Delacroix. Ever since Dash dropped Abby off at the DZ, she has been struggling to cooperate.
