Dreams of an Absolution

Revenge (Episode 21)

As the rain poured heavily, Lucas stared down at Corpse Slayer from on top of the building. "You think you can win kid? Ha! You really do believe that you're some kinda hero huh!?" Corpse Slayer laughed. But, Lucas said nothing back.

All of a sudden, the pile of cars that Lucas used to bury Meat Grinder along with the other rubble began moving/shaking violently. Corpse Slayer smirked and said, "It looks like your time to be killed has arrived kid." Without hesitation, Lucas quickly flew off the building and used his telekinesis to summon all the large nearby objects in the area (street lights, fire hydrants, parts of the ground) and sent them flying onto the pile of cars and rubble.

Afterwards, the moving/shaking stopped. And Corpse Slayer's smirk slowly turned into a look of concern and anger. Quickly, he leaped in the air for Lucas, yelling, "DIE YOU DAMN BRAT!!!!" Lucas, swiftly flew out of the way, but immediately after, still in mid air, Corpse Slayer quickly launched both of his blades where Lucas had dodged to, one of the blades slicing Lucas's cheek.

Once Corpse Slayer landed back down onto his feet, he yelled up, "Guess that blade was too quick for you to predict and phase through ha ha! That's the difference in experience between you and I kid! Your reaction time maybe quick, but I'm just that much quicker!" But as soon as Corpse Slayer finished his sentence, he saw one his own blades he threw flying towards him with Lucas's green aura around it. "Damn it!" Corpse Slayer yelled as he quickly caught the blade before it reached his face. "Wait, where's the other...." Before he could even finish his sentence, the second blade struck him right in his upper back.

Instantly in shock, Corpse Slayer fell to his knees, coughing up blood. "Damn it! He hit a vital spot. That telekinesis is so damn annoying," Corpse Slayer said to himself. Lucas then flew down with the blood on his cheek washing away from the rain. He slowly made his way over to Corpse Slayer with an evil look in his eyes. "You think I'm afraid of a little shit like you!? You think you've won? Ha!" Corpse Slayer yelled. But once again, Lucas said nothing back.

Before Lucas could take another step forward, a car from the massive pile of rubble flipped over. As soon as that happened, Lucas swiftly looked backwards, only to see Meat Grinder charging at him with full speed, no injuries. And with that slight distraction, Corpse Slayer quickly pulled the one large knife out of his back and launched it at Lucas from behind. With the beast of a man known as Meat Grinder charging from the front with his cold dead glare, and Corpse Slayer's knife flying toward Lucas's back from behind, he quickly used his power just in the knick of time to phase into the ground.

"Damn it! He's too quick," Corpse Slayer said to himself. With Lucas fading into the ground, the knife Corpse Slayer launched struck Meat Grinder's chest. With no reaction, Meat Grinder easily pulled the blade from his chest, leaving no hole nor blood. Corpse Slayer grinned as the blood leaking from his back and mouth were washing away from the rain. "Good thing your pale ass skin is indestructible to damage ha ha" Corpse Slayer joked. Meat Grinder groaned in annoyance and began searching around for where Lucas had gone. "You're no fun *cough*, hey big guy, how about removing those stitches from your mouth and using them to stitch up my back before I bleed out to death damn it!" Corpse Slayer shouted.

Before Meat Grinder could react, the ground began shaking violently. Corpse Slayer rolled his eyes in annoyance and said "Oh great! First we gotta deal with this damn ghost kid and cold ass rain on our shirtless bodies, now there's a freaking earthquake!" Meat Grinder grabbed the stitches that were sewing his mouth shut and ripped them out. Afterwards, in a deep, raspy voice, Meat Grinder replied, "Shut the hell up before I murder you crazy bastard. You talk too damn much. Deal with the knife wound, ignore the rain, and the shaking is probably just part of the boy's power. Let's just end him and get the hell outta here already."

With that, Corpse Slayer was left annoyed and silenced. The immense shaking grew more and more intense. Suddenly, huge chunks of the street and sidewalk began cracking and rising with a green glow. And within the time of that happening, Lucas popped up out of the ground behind Meat Grinder and into the air once more. His eyes glowing bright green as his telekinesis was tearing apart and lifting up the entire street they were on. Corpse Slayer thought to himself, "What the hell is this power!?" Not only were all the chunks of the road rising, but so was the left over debris of large objects and destroyed cars that buried Meat Grinder earlier. Corpse Slayer instantly started to grit his teeth and sweat nervously.

Quickly, Corpse Slayer got up off his knees and attempted to escape the area. "No. Not yet," Meat Grinder said with a cold stare. Corpse Slayer quickly yelled back, "What the hell do you mean not yet!? We have to get the hell out of here! This kid is crazy!" Meat Grinder replied, "We don't leave until I break his neck."

Within that very next second, the shaking had stopped. The entire street and nearby block was completely wrecked and destroyed, looking like a wasteland. After all the dust and smoke cleared, both Corpse Slayer and Meat Grinder saw Lucas standing in the middle of what was once the road, breathing heavily as his wet hair covered his eyes. "Looks like you're at your limit kid. But hey, even I'll admit that you're pretty damn strong," Meat Grinder said as he made his way over to Lucas.

Meat Grinder continued, "My power allows my skin to be completely indestructible, so you never had a chance kid. That's why your attacks didn't work on me. I knew there had to be a limit to that intense power. And judging by how you're so out of breath and you were inside the ground so long, you must not be able to breathe while using your power. I must say, you can hold your breath pretty damn long, truly impressive. Too bad all that power and skill is all going to waste. Now it's time to die!" Meat Grinder smirked as he inched closer and closer to Lucas. Corpse Slayer grinning ear to ear, was ready to watch the slaughter.

But...instead of showing fear, with his damp hair still covering his eyes, Lucas just smiled and replied, "Look....up." Everything had gone quiet. Corpse Slayer slowly lifted his head and glanced up, only to see a terrifying sight. "WATCH OUT!!!" Corpse Slayer shouted to Meat Grinder. But it was too late. The stormy dark sky grew darker as all the sidewalk debris, destroyed cars, and massive road chunks Lucas had levitated into the air had been all sent flying back down, everything onto Meat Grinder with as his cold stare became a horrified expression. All of it crashing down onto him shook the entire city, the shockwave sending Lucas, Corpse Slayer, and what was left of that city block flying back. It left a gigantic pile of rubble the size of a small building when it buried Meat Grinder alive.

Corpse Slayer was completely frozen in fear as he stared at the havoc that had just occurred. Lucas grinned and said with a menacing change of voice, "The sky has darkened, and down comes the rain. Even if he can't take damage, he can still feel the pain."

Suddenly, Lucas used his telekinesis once more and formed the gigantic pile of rubble into a massive ball of destruction, summoning street light poles and build board signs into the huge ball of debris and wreckage. It had almost looked like a massive meteor of made up of all parts of the city block including metal and cement had crashed down into the middle of the city. And Meat Grinder was in the middle of the all of it. As Lucas's arm slowly rised, so did the massive pile/ball of destruction. As the rubble slowly rose higher into the dark stormy sky, more debris was flying towards it, making the meteor of destruction bigger and bigger as Lucas's menacing green aura glowed off of it. And entire time it was rising, Lucas stared at Corpse Slayer with a taunting smirk as he watched the meteor of destruction rise as well. Once it reached the clouds, and Lucas's arm was fully raised, he looked at Corpse Slayer and said, "He brought this fate upon himself. This is revenge for hurting Timothy. I'm not sorry...."

In the blink of an eye, Lucas closed his fist and lightning struck the meteor of destruction as it closed in on itself, causing a massive explosion/nuke that lit up the sky so bright that it cleared out the storm in seconds. The explosion was silent for the first three seconds before the deafening sound of it was heard. The weather was completely changed. The entire meteor of destruction was ashes, as the sun beamed down over the city....
