The Black Dragon

Forces of Natural

The smalls bits of lightning cracks around Atsu before vanishing, only for another small bit of lighting replaces it. Suddenly in the blink Atsu seemingly turns into lightning and appears before Zato. "He's fast," Zato says as he moves his arms to block but Atsu is to fast and his fist connects with Zato's face.  The punch sends Zato flying back but Atsu doesn't stop his assault. Using his lightning-fast speed Atsu easily catches up to Zato and grabs his leg. Then he slams the white hair delinquent into the ground.

"Damn, this one's on a whole different level from everyone I've fought up till now," Zato says as he sees Atsu's fist rocketing towards him. Rolling to the left Zato avoids the punch and quickly gets to his feet.

"Come on!" Atsu shouts with a long sigh at the end. "That old man talked you up so much. The way he talked about you made it seem like you'd be like the final boss, but so far you're bearly a first boss." Atsu says as Zato sighs

"You're tough, stronger than anyone I've fought seriously up till now," Zato says as he cracks his knuckles. "Alright then, from this point on you're fighting the real Zato Cero," Zato says as Atsu smiles, but suddenly Zato appears in front of him and the black dragon Emporer lands a powerful uppercut on Atsu.

The battle-hungry teen goes flying before crashing to the ground. Atsu's head shoots up as he looks at Zato and smiles. "Now this is more like it! This is the kinda strength that old man talked about!" Atsu shouts as he bolts forward lightning flying off his body. 

Zato manages to black just in time but in a flash, Atsu vanishes and begins to striking Zato in multiple different places. As Atsu strikes the side of Zato's body the red-eyed boy grits his teeth. "His blows keep getting heavier with each hit. This guy knows his way around a fight." Another strike this time directed at Zato's left leg. "Bastard is fast two. Fast as lightning give or take." A punch connects with Zato's arm and now Zato smirks. In one swift motion, Zato turns around and unleashes a b=powerful straight punch that connects nicely with Atsu's face.

Atsu is sent back but quickly flips in the air and lands on his feet. Wiping the blood from under his nose Atsu smiles as Zato walks toward him. "Not only are you stronger than anyone I've fought you're faster too. Seeing as how you're body is surrounded by lighting it's safe to assume you move at around the same speed, it was a real pain to deal with but I've adapted to your speed." Zato says as suddenly Atsu's arms burst into flames.

"You said I get to fight the real you right. Well, this is the real Atsu Chuuya!" Atsu shouts as he shoots a burst of fire at Zato. Jumping to the left Zato dodges the flames but once he dodges he sees Atsu right in front of him. His fist has the texture of a rock and is pulled back, Atsu throws it forward but to his surprise, his punch seemingly brushes past Zato's left side. Then Zato delivers a powerful straight right punch to Atsu's face.

Falling to ground Atsu spits out a bit of blood. "The old man wasn't kidding, he doesn't need to fall back on his sacred gear or any forms of magic to be a threat. He parried my punch with his shoulder and then hit me with his right hand." Atsu tels himself as somehow his smiles grows even bigger. "This guy is just too much, I never thought I'd meet someone who can keep with up with me without using magic, but this guy is different. He may be human but compared to even the strongest human this guy has left them in the dust. Zato Cero, you're no longer a normal human, you're a superhuman." Atsu says within his mind as Zato begins to walk toward him.

"Is that all?" Zato asks as Atsu looks up at him. Getting to his feet Atsu speaks.

"You're strong, insanely strong, especially for a human. However, I didn't come all this way and ditch that old man just to see some fancy footwork. I wanna you to come at me with everything you got, a fight now fun unless each side gives it their all. So show me your punches, your kicks, and your sacred gear!" Atsu shouts his eyes full of glee.
