24. You can break my arm but not my strength.

  Ace and Kaya.

  Kaya took Atlas and Ace to the black market. it was underground, hidden. That is a type of a place that you can get anything, mostly illegal.

  Ace: why did you bring us here?

  Kaya: I know this is a forbidden market for you, but for me it's an ordinary one, and I haven't been there for a long time, that's why we're here.

  Atlas: my parents will kill me for this...

  Kaya: relax, They won't know.

  Atlas: and if they find out, I'll definitely tell them it's your fault.

  Kaya: I wouldn't do it any other way either.

  She smiles.

  Atlas: what are you even buying here?

  Kaya: it depends, but mostly teas.

  Atlas: tea? Are you coming here for tea? But they also have that in the regular market.

  Kaya: the kind they sell here, they don't have in the regular market, believe me.

  Atlas: what is it supposed to mean?

  Kaya: I can't tell you that.

  And keeps walking.

  Kaya: let's just say it's the only tea that makes me tolerate the others.

  Atlas: I'm still confused.

  Kaya wanted to say something, but Ace looked at her and shook her head (no).

  Kaya: you know what, it doesn't matter, why don't you see what they have for yourself.

  They continue to move around the market. Ace saw a bottle of beer.

  Ace: why is this bottle in this market?

  Kaya: don't you remember that brand? That beer became banned four years ago if I'm not mistaken, I'm not sure for exactly what reasons, but it's not banned here.

  Ace: oh yes, I remember this beer, it was one of the best. You know what, maybe this place isn't so bad after all.

  Kaya: I told you. They have everything here!

  Atlas: what is this?

  Atlas stood near something that can be used as a weapon. Kaya quickly moves him away from it.

  Kaya: I wouldn't touch it if I were you.

  Atlas: why?

  Kaya: because it would probably cut your hands... try not to touch anything for the first time, okay?

  Atlas pale.

  Atlas: if we get out of this place alive, I'll kill you.

  Kaya: totally acceptable.

  Kaya: just don't touch anything and don't talk to others much, and everything will be fine.

  Kaya was walking backwards while explaining to them and accidentally bumped into someone there. Everyone shut up. She turns slowly and the man turns slowly.

  Tairi: watch where you...

  He looked into the Kaya. Ace recognizes him. Steps forward immediately.

  Ace: she's sorry for bumping into you, I hope we don't have to make a problem out of it.

  Ace looks at him, ready to attack if necessary.

  Kaya: it's okay Ace... I know him... but good to you for trying to solve it peacefully first, and not attacking... I am proud! And Rin would definitely be proud too.

  Atlas and Ace looked at her confused.

  Tairi: Am I seeing right? Little Kaya?

  Kaya: Well, I'm definitely not little anymore...

  Tairi: I see, you've really grown up. It's been a long time, hasn't it?

  Kaya: yes. How come you are free?

  Atlas pales: free?

  Tairi: I came out a few days ago.

  Kaya changes her mood, becomes more serious but also sad.

  Kaya: I'm glad to hear that.

  Tairi: Yes... but, I feel sorry for your father.

  Ace looked surprised, and Kaya looked down even more.

  Kaya: I don't know what you're talking about.

  Tairi looked sad, and he stayed silent for a bit. He sighed.

  Tairi: He should be serving his death sentence in a few days, sorry Kaya, I thought you knew.

  Ace's eyes widened and she looked at her worriedly. Kaya looked down, hiding her face, but she was sad, angry, but trying to stay as calmest she can.

  Kaya: I don't know what you're talking about, because I don't have a father.

  She raised her head.

  Kaya: but it was good to see you.

  She forced a smile and she walks away. Atlas goes after Kaya, Ace stays. Tairi looks a bit sad.

  Ace: can I ask you something?

  Tairi nodded.

  Ace: how do you know her father?

  Tairi: we shared the same prison cell for several years.

  Ace: why was he there?

  Tairi: because of a lot of things, but mostly because of all the thefts and attempted murders.

  Ace: attempted murder?

  Tairi: if you're already thinking about how he tried to kill her, you can forget it right now. Whatever he was, he loved her.

  Ace: then who did he try to kill?

  Tairi: His father.

  Kaya continues walking and thinks about it. She doesn't know what she should feel.

  Ace: can I have his name?

  Tairi: Kai... or Crazy Kai... whatever you prefer.

  Ace is surprised. Images of her father, in prison, being led somewhere. One of the biggest criminals in the world.

  Ace: Crazy Kai is her father?

  Tairi: yes, but they didn't have the best relationship...

  Ace: thank you for telling me.

  Tairi: thank you for asking me nicely, just as you know criminals are treated differently here.

  He starts to leave.

  Ace: that's why we criminals need to stick together.

  He looked at her, smiled and nodded, and left, and she followed Kaya and Atlas.

  Nuri and Akka

  Nuri: you know, there's no need to fight.

  She continues to attack.

  Akka: and what do you want to do?

  Nuri: I don't know, maybe we can go for a walk.

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  He's trying to flirt.

  Akka: Tempting but I would rather fight.

  She says and hits him. He pulled back a little.

  Nuri: look sweet girl, you don't really want to fight with me.

  Akka: what is that supposed to mean?

  Nuri: that means I could break you in a second if I wanted to, but I don't, so why don't we skip that part.

  She raised an eyebrow.

  Akka: you have a lot of confidence, why don't you show me what you really can do.

  Nuri: well, if you really insist, maybe I could show you a little.

  He creates fire around himself, showing her how powerful he is.

  Nuri: or if you want an even better view, I can do this too.

  He Burned his shirt on him, he become shirtless. She looked at him in shock first then she smiled.

  Nuri: I know what you think, and yes, I can do same with you.

  He said flirty

  Akka: impressive, but why don't I show you what I can do?

  Nuri laughs

  Nuri: you can try whatever you want, but I guarantee you, you will never be able to...

  She pours a large amount of water over him from the ocean next door. She had the power of water and she put out his fire.

  Akka: Oh look at that, I think I already won.

  Nuri looks at her proudly.

  Nuri: So you are water...

  Akka: your natural enemy.

  Nuri: or my future wife, but we can discuss that later. Tell me, what are you doing with Hawk? You don't strike me as someone who is evil.

  Akka: why do you think he is evil?

  Nuri: you're right, I don't know, but I know about everything he did, and such things would not be done by a good person.

  Akka: don't talk about my family like that.

  Nuri: then you tell me?

  Akka looked at him strangely,

  Akka: that would be enough for now.

  Attacks him.

  Rin and Brent invisible.

  In invisible form continues to hit him, Rin tries to get his movements.

  Rin: show yourself!

  Invisible: catch me.

  Rin freezes the part of the ground where they stand, closes his eyes and feels him, and hits him. Brent is now visible

  Brent: I have to admit I didn't expect this.

  Rin took his white blindfold.

  Rin: I don't care if I can see you or not

  He blindfolded himself.

  Rin: I will beat you

  Brent: Oh, I see. This is going to be interesting

  Becomes invisible and attacks (displays invisibility combat visible) Rin defends herself, and tries to catch him. Hit him again.

  Rin: Is this your first fair fight?

  Brent: why not make things even more interesting.

  He becomes visible.

  Brent: this time I'm going to rip that blindfold off your face and make you look at me.

  Rin remembered his father who had given him that bandage.

  Brent: and only when you look at me I will kill you.

  Rin: here you go.

  He kept the blindfold on to prove to him that he could still beat him. Brent attacks him even angrier, Rin defends herself, at one point she is so close to the bandage, but Rin pulls out

  Brent: are you sure you want to keep it up?

  Rin stops and begins to remove the bandage

  Rin: you're right, I'd rather speed things up, and you deserve to die in a fair fight.

  He takes off the bandage and ties it around his arm. Brent attacks him. Neither used powers.

  Nigel and Kurt

  Nigel sees Rho on the other side, and starts to run towards her but Kurt stops him.

  Kurt: not so fast.

  He pushed him away and hit him.

  Nigel: I have nothing to do with you, so get out of my way.

  Kurt: but you do, if you want Hawk, you need to make trough us first. What can I tell you, we come in a package deal.

  Nigel: great, now I would like to return the package.

  Hits him and Kurt flies away.

  Nigel: wrong address.

  And he attacks him, Kurt defends himself and attacks him, Kurt slams him against a tree.

  Kurt: what happened? We are not so strong anymore?

  Nigel pushed him away.

  Nigel: You're really starting to piss me off...

  Kurt: then do something, because you won't be able to get rid of me that easily.

  Nigel stops, closes his eyes...

  Nigel: last chance...

  Kurt: I'm not backing down.

  Nigel looks at Rho in distance.

  Nigel: I don’t have time for this, let’s get over it.

  Nigel's veins on his body turn black a little, and his eyes change color for a short time, but then everything recedes and he opens his eyes completely, and his eyes are his normal color.

  Nigel: Well, I warned you…

  Kurt walks towards him, Nigel stands still and at the last moment his eyes turn black.

  Rho and Hawk.

  The fight goes on. She's breathing hard.

  Hawk: give it up, it will be easier for both of us.

  She looks at him, straightens up and heals herself, she has all her energy again.

  Rho: never.

  Hawk: you are going to try to wear me out huh? It's a handy trick for you, but it won't help you much.

  Hawk attacks, seems stronger.

  Hawk: come on Rho, you can do it much better, weren't you trained better in the army?

  He goes after her, she barely escapes.

  Hawk: I remember you stronger, much stronger.

  She shoots him, him and everything around her. (Her powers work so that he feels the pain of the bullet but the bullet cannot kill him)

  Hawk: just give up, you see you're not achieving anything, my body is very resistant to pain. What kind of bullets are they anyway?

  Rho: you will feel it.

  She takes all the things around her that she shot with bullets, lifts them into the air and throws them at him.

  Rho: Is your body resistant to that too?

  He slowly gets up.

  Hawk: not bad, you haven't weakened that much, but I hope you have more fight in you than that.

  She transforms into transformation one, her strongest transformation. (Swords)

  Hawk: that is new... I guess you changed... but that doesn't matter, I am still going to kill you...

  Rho: you are allowed to try.

  She runs towards him and starts cutting him with knives, he dodges, but she hits him anyway. It weakened him.

  Hawk: not bad... but not enough.

  He attacks, He grabs her hand and twists it. She screams.

  Hawk: I would like to see how your plan to fight now,

  Attacks her. She defended herself with one of her hands, and pushed him with her foot. It starts to heal.

  Hawk: not so fast!

  Hits her again.

  Hawk: you think I'm going to let you do that little trick again?

  Hawk breaks her arm, she screams again.

  Hawk: let me see, what are you going to do now?

  Rho is in pain. She is breathing heavily, and she looks pissed.

  Hawk: how does it feel to accept that you're going to die soon?

  He also hit her leg. She is still trying to get up, but she is weak, yet she doesn't give up. He bends down.

  Hawk: You shouldn't have messed with me...

  Rho: I was doing my job, do you think I enjoyed it!

  Hawk: if you didn't want to be there then, why were you there?

  Rho: I did what I had to do to survive, as I will do now.

  She tries to hit him

  Hawk: well, I am curious how did you survive then... but it doesn't matter, you won’t be lucky this time...

  He hits her again, she is in pain.

  Rho: you are lucky I didn't kill you then...

  She thinks of the mountain and her rules: she is not allowed to kill

  Hawk: I guess we both were lucky, but now, nothing will save you, not even luck

  Rho: I won’t lose to you... I’ll do whatever it takes to survive, just like before.

  She stab him right in the heart with the sword and he could feel the same pain that she felt, but physically nothing would happen to him, just feel the same pain, they both scream.

  Rikka and Coby

  They hear a scream.

  Rikka: did you hear that?

  Cody: could it have been Red hair girl?

  Rikka: could it be Hawk?

  Cody: I'm not sure anymore.

  She starts to go out

  Cody: where are you going?

  Rikka: I have to do something.

  Cody: I ??wouldn't recommend it.

  Rikka: I can't just sit here and do nothing, I have to help them.

  Cody: the question is can you help them? Because if you can't then you would only make the situation worse, trust me I know how it is.

  Rikka: I know what you want to say and trust me, otherwise I wouldn't care.

  Rikka: but this time it's different, this time for some reason I can't think about it too much, I have to act.

  She goes out.

  Cody: Wait!

  Rikka: stay there.

  And she left Cody sighed.

  Cody: these people are weird...

  Rin and Brent

  The fight continues, both seem exhausted.

  Rin: quit while you still can.

  Brent: how about no?

  He attacks, Rin fights. Rin pushed him away.

  Brent: I know your abilities when you can't see me, and what if you can't hear me as well?

  Rin looks at him and Brent disappears, and Rin can't neither hear nor see him. He starts to lose focus and takes a few hits.

  Rin: I see you don't want to play fair anymore...

  Hit him again while he's invisible.

  Rin: I'll take that as a yes

  Rin freezes the ground and then senses his movement, and hits him with an icy fist.

  Brent stays on the floor.

  Rin is breathing heavily

  Ace and Kaya and Atlas, still in the market.

  Kaya buys teas and pretends that everything is fine. Atlas and Ace few feet away.

  Atlas: she ignores all my questions.

  Ace: looks like she really doesn't want to talk about it.

  Atlas: did you hear what he said about her father? If that's true, she shouldn't be behaving like this.

  Kaya buys her tea with a smile.

  Ace: I know, but maybe it's better not to question her.

  Kaya: are you going or not?

  They walk in silence for a while.

  Kaya: I can't believe it's your first time here and you're not interested in anything at all.

  Atlas: that's because we're interested in something else.

  Ace: Atlas...

  Kaya: what are you interested in?

  Ace interrupted the Atlas

  Ace: we're wondering if you're okay, that's what Atlas wants to say.

  Kaya: of course I'm fine, why do you ask? You both are so strange today...

  Atlas: we're strange? Look at yourself! If everything that man said about your father is true, you shouldn't be behaving like this, talk to us.

  Kaya looked at them coldly.

  Kaya: I already told you, I don't have a father.

  Atlas wanted to say something, but Ace put a hand on his shoulder. To prevent him

  Kaya: and now I hope that we are done with that topic, and that we can finally continue to enjoy this beautiful day.

  It starts raining.

  Nuri ended up in the ocean and is fighting for his life.

  Nuri: how did I end up here?!!

  A big wave hit him. Akka stood in the water, using her powers against him.

  Akka: you still think how easy you can break me?

  Nuri: easy? No

  He made a fire on the water and turned it in her direction, the fire reached her, and it stopped her waves. She got burned a bit, but managed to remove the fire with her power.

  Nuri: sorry, did I burn you?

  He was kidding. Akka made a tornado in the water And it's still raining.

  Nuri: wow wow, you can't do this!

  Akka: you see I can

  Accelerates the tornado.

  Nuri: is that how you treat your future husband!

  Akka: don't make me angry!

  She steps up her attack. Nuri tries to fight the water.

  Nuri: aww our first fight...

  She dunks him and throws him high into the air. He screams as he falls. And he splashes into the water in the worst possible way, on his stomach.

  Akka: that must have hurt...

  Nuri: you have no idea how much... time out?

  He pass out. Akka lets him swim on the water and sink, starts to get out of the water but then hesitates and looks at him again.

  Akka sighed.

  Akka: I will pay so much for this.

  She pulls him out of the water with his power and brings him to the beach. Nuri is still unconscious.

  Akka: it wasn't bad.

  She got up and started to leave, but a fire appeared in front of her, and she stopped. Nuri coughs, and seems weak.

  Nuri: we are not done yet.

  Akka: It's amazing you can still talk.

  Nuri stands up.

  Nuri: love does wonders.

  He's kidding with her

  Akka: don't make me have to put you back in the water.

  Nuri: Okay, okay! But I have to ask you, why didn't you let me sink?

  Akka: why didn't you give me a fair fight?

  Nuri: don't kill me for this answer, but I didn't want to hurt you...

  She raised her hands angrily.

  Nuri: not because I think you're weak or something!

  She stopped.

  Nuri: I didn't want to attack you because I was raised to respect girls, and to protect them, not to attack. And when I say I don't want to hurt you, I mean any other girl too.

  Akka lets her guard down

  Akka: it's ironic that your behavior came across as if you think I'm weak just because I'm a girl.

  Nuri: really? That was not my intention. I was just fighting for my life.

  He laughed, and after a few moments she laughed too.

  Nuri: may I know your name?

  Akka: my name is Akka.

  Nuri: I'm Nuri.

  Gives her his hand. She hesitates.

  Nuri: I won't burn you, I promise.

  He laughs. She shakes hands.

  Nuri: now that we're done with the fight, how about we move on to other things.

  He approached her. She hits him hard and throws him into the ocean again.

  Nuri: I understand, you need more time...

  Akka: A lot of time...

  She said and went in another direction.

  Nuri: see you!

  He stays in the water and laughs.

  Rho and Hawk

  Hawk shakes her off, she's still badly hurt, she's trying to heal but she's in too much pain.

  Hawk: give up, this is your end.

  Hawk slowly walks towards her, she tries to crawl away, because her left arm is broken and her leg is hurt.

  Hawk: You don't have last word privilege this time.

  He grabs her and swings at her.

  Rho: don't blame me for your mistakes!

  He stopped swinging. he looked at her cold.

  Hawk: oh don't you even dare...

  He looked at her more serious and cold, and more angry, she looked at him angry but calm, and weak, and bloody.

  Hawk: Look at you now... Once a queen and soon a dust. This is the end of your path, this stops now.

  She struggled but he had an upper hand, he was about to kill her.

  Rikka: get your hands off her!

  Rikka Showed up, standing at some distance and she has a gun pointed at him. Hawk laughs. Rho got pale after hearing her voice.

  Hawk: More guns, great.

  Rikka: this one is different, this one is real.

  She shoot him in the shoulder, he moved a bit from Rho. She just pushed him away and weakened a little.

  Rho: get out of here!

  Hawk: You shouldn't have done that...

  Rho: Go! Now!

  Rikka got scared but she didn't move even one bit... she fired bullet again!
