There was no land, no cars, no buildings. What used to be the beautiful city of Utrecht was now remnants of a civilisation destroyed so fast, It was unfair.
It was completely wiped off, swallowed by the water beneath it .
Flooded by the blue salt water sea, whose waves and motions made the eerie silence somehow worse.
The dome was floating to and fro, many kilometres in the air, filled with prayers and fear.
Not too long ago they where thinking of their jobs, their phones, their exams.
Now they all prayed for their survival.
But thankfully
Back up was already sent for a hero to retrieve it.
There were parts that didn't sink, buildings which were too tall were now crumbled, reduced to small stones stop the sea.
The Raging Storm was now a calm submitting drizzle. This was power beyond anything nature could dream of.
The two silhouettes stared at each other with killing intent just as much on both sides.
The human, Ghazul in a low fighting stance. An ecstatic smile on his face, his honed and lean physique visible from his white shirt and baggy pants.
His fists clenched hard and were directed straight at the adversary.
While the other?
It stared hard at Ghazul. Lightly clasping it's head still feeling the after effects of Jun Seos psychic suicide attack. It had an inhumane physique.
It stood at 33 feet/10 metres, it had delicate looking fair skin almost white and a faint glow.
It's body was overtly muscular. A chest wider than it should be, 10 bone structured abs and muscles so abnormally conditioned it seemed like an exoskeleton.
All the dust and rubble didn't even smudge its skin. The Abyss had a concentrated yellow colour to its hair.
Hair that was silky smooth and overlapped over each other when they touched the ground.
It wandered, massive legs moving right and left all while looking straight at Ghazul with dreadful black eyes.
Calfd so ridiculously wide causing the ground to shake with each step.
A face that an angel couldn't stare at so it should not succumb to temptation.
':::: Aaaaa man jutri no Zagattn Vatus Furtimuri Kouiabrbsjs shehejsb :::::A voice that caused the ground to tremble. So deep and inhumane.
It stopped walking and stood looking straight at Ghazuls eyes ready to attack
:::: Burkashmaui La Felelshuriii No Mayushtti Lihebuebsb hejsjshsgsgs :::::
Translation-- I'm going to beat you down, then I'll split your form and feed on your intestines, one by one while you breathe your last. I will savour every second of your unraveling".
" I have no idea what you say. But I bet there's a language you and I know all too well ".
It was still for some time. Wet buildings dripping causing the most minute of ripples.
The first drop
The second drop
The third landed on the water
" Violence!", He roared.
Ghazul burst at a blinding speed, not cause you couldn't see it, but cause all the debris would probably crush you.
He was charging and his fist wound back before punching the creature on its large pretty face jaw.
The punch was loud like an explosion that lasts for a second. It shook the ears of the people in dome.
" Dad ".
" It's okay Tess "
" I'm scared Daddy ".
He gasped. He could lie to Tess but Daisy was a different thing. All he could do was say the same thing.
" It's okay Daisy ".
The punch sent the Fiend flying, bouncing off the top a building as it was sent to the cloud.
After the creature left his sight. Ghazul looked to his knuckles. For the first time in his life, punching something was painful. His fist was already showing a mild swelling.
" Come on, don't fail me now ".
He slapped it hard with his other hand then bounced both of his knuckles against eachother.
Hard, he hit them hard causing a mini quake.
" We've killed too many Fiends and saved too many humans to fall here ".
After that Ghazul didn't wait. He flew fast causing ripples of waves and once he got closer he punched the creature again destroying the surrounding clouds making a blue sky visible.
Now they were high enough to see the earth's curvature.
He was always skeptical but it was indeed round.
Ghazul was coming for another punch but the giant Fiend extended its palms to him.
Too slow
Ghazul already twisted mid air to the back of the Abyss who was still stunned. With a hard twisting kick Ghazul sent it right back down.
That hit broke some of its bones.
Ghazul felt them shatter under his soles
It was falling fast and it's body had already caught a blaze.
It looked like a shooting star.
Ghazul smiled holding on to his face in an ecstatic expression. Scratching his skin violently. His deep red eyes rolling to the back of his head.
" Oh this Uhhhh ", he moaned violently " This is not enough. Give me something. Make our battle worth the lives you took ", He said breathlessly.
He flew back down faster than the Abyss could fall. In the blink of an eye, maybe less.
He punched it again, this time to the face making it descend much faster.
It landed on the sea that flooded Utrecht.
Causing a ripple of tidal waves kilometres in diameter and high enough to block the sun and shake the earth.
Ghazul landed back on a floating rock watching as the creature sank.
" Huuh. You're disappointing me. No way this is all you can_
It was behind him before he could react. Now all he could was block. It's too late to dodge.
It sent a massive knee down to his stomach causing him to spill out blood and saliva.
It was much bigger than him so the knee lifted him metres into the air and made him bend forward putting his head exactly where the Fiend wanted.
Then it raised that same leg to 90 degrees the sky, left it there for a few seconds showing great flexibility and giving Ghazul a less than pleasurable view at its emm...,organs.
Before axe kicking him on the neck with so much force it separated the clouds and sea in the direction.
Ghazuls head felt like it was going to come off.
" Aghhhrrrr___". His skull was cracked open like an egg and the yoke were pieces of his brain and offcourse blood.
He screamed in pain but he did not fall only landing to his knees and palms.
Even though his mouth and nose were covered in thick gushing blood he had a smile on his face. Teeth stained with blood and spit.
" __Hahah "
" Now that is what I'm talking about ".
He pushed it's massive soles off his neck and grabbed the Fiends thick neck with both his hands, strangling it with all his force while looking at it straight in the eye.
The Abyss tried to evade but Ghazul held on. This was the strength of a calains resolve.
It tired to put him under an illusion.
The Bewitching stare is an ability higher ranked Fiends can use.
" Ptfff ".
Ghazul spat on its eyes, switched his hold to its temples and squeezed hard.
He jerked his head so far back you'd think his spine would snap any second.
Recoiled.
Before
headbutting the Fiend with all his strength, opened skull and all sending it bouncing off miles into the sea like a massive humanoid pebble.
Now he had time to rest.
He grabbed on to the back of his neck. It was swollen and throbbing in pain. He
His vision was blurry. A few more of those to the head and he was a goner.
" What force you have Fiend. Ohhhhhhhh '
He closed his eyes and rubbed the blood on his hands of his back of his neck, rubbing it hard.
" Ughhh ", He moaned. Then he felt the opening on his skull, it was big enough that he could dip his fingers in it.
Then he moved it around, caressing some fleshy bub that must've been his brain. It was causing a bloody squelching sound as even more blood gushed out, "Ohhh Ohhh this feels riiiiight!"
The feeling as he rubbed it violently was elating to the battle obsessed sentinel. " Ughhh Ohhhh yes. This is the violence I craved ".
" Hit me harderrrr".
The Fiend floated from the sea its forehead bruised by the headbutt
Even the headbutt made him dizzy. It's way to strong
Was he fighting a losing battle?
I don't think he cared. All he cared about was putting 100 percent to win. He had a whole city to save.
The people not the city.
The city was gone.
" Ughh my my. You have no idea how long I've waited for you ".
He opened up his arms talking through a wild smile, wide enough to tear his face. Wait it did tear pieces of his face.
" An enemy I can go all out with. It's a miracle ".
Then he held his forehead and looked to the sky.
" Indeed it is a miracle. god has granted me a gift ".
Then there was a blinding orange light. When Ghazul looked down a bright yellow beam was already coming at him.
He sank to the sea dodging it by the hair on his head, literally.
He flew faster than a torpedo at the Abyss tackling it's torso. The collision was like an atomic bomb under water.
He changed direction instantly and raised it out of the water then he kept going.
He let go before punching it hard that it flew away backwards but with no injury.
It looked annoyed rather than injured.
" Well that didn't work ".
The Abyss disappeared to his back and swatted him away. As he flew to the side it was already waiting for him with it's massive fist covered in golden Archaic Energy.
This was going to hurt.
One hell of an uppercut.
Ghazul was punched so high up and so fast that the sea around them shook, as if it wanted ti fly up with him.
The Abyss knew the attack was not the last it would give. Even though it moved extremely fast, Ghazul still put in a forearm to block the punch.
Ghazul was sent high with so much force he couldn't stop himself from reaching space. Now he was surrounded by darkness and stars
It's so empty here.
His arms were broken and he couldn't stop it from shaking.
" My do you hit hard ". He's never been dominated in a fight.
The Fiend wasn't done. It let out another golden beam from its mouth kilometres into the sky then to space.
The beam reached Ghazul in the blink of an eye. He dodged it again, skin of his teeth.
Then he flew down as fast as he could metres away from the beam, feeling the heat of it.
First he entered the atmosphere then the clouds and then he could see Utrecht.
Then he could see a silhouette flying towards him.
" AHH yes. Meet me ".
Their fist collided against eachother.
The sound reverted all round Netherlands lands even other parts of Europe heard it.
And it was the sound of broken bones.
His entire left arm was now broken. Ghazuls bones protruded from his arm and the blood started gushing out.
" Where the fuck is that hero?", Ghazul knew full well that the difference in power was starting to take effect.
" Raaaaa "
The Abyss screamed as it punched him down to a skyscraper.
Then it landed on the floor.
The punch left a gaping hole at the side of Ghazuls face showing parts of his teeth and shards of his skull all covered in torn flesh and blood.
" Khhh ", He couldn't breathe. The Abyss grabbed his and lower jaw., it's hands the size of his torso.
It squeezed very hard.
Blood spewed from Ghazuls eyes and ears.
( Somewhere else ).
Guile was looking down, eyes wide open as he paused on the sidewalk.
" Something wrong Captain ", Baran said noticing his Captain's change in demeanour.
Guile didn't answer and he broke the lollipop in his mouth.
Baran knew that Guile had probably seen a terrible vision.
" What do you see, Guile?".
Guile paused and swallowed the pieces of sweets in his mouth. It was a terrible thing he saw. He gulped hard before answering as if preparing himself to accept reality
" My friend is dying ".
The Abyss let go of Ghazul's head and he fell to the floor on the brink of death and still with a smile on his face.
His head was crushed and disfigured. Subjected to excess force. His handsome face now a sad bloody mess.
A mess with a smile.
" Well ", Ghazul slowly used his left hand to feel his face.
" There goes my money maker Hahahaahh ".
The Fiend grabbed his legs before turning to the dome.
I don't think even I knew what it planned to do.
But what took it's attention was the dome.
It was gone.
-----[ Some where else a few minutes ago ]------
Geweldige Jongen walks Into a room.
His eyes peering around, there's a fat man in suit sitting on his office chair and a super large desk Infront of him. That man was the supervisor, and Geweldige was about to receive his biggest mission yet.
This was his time.
" You've been sent to retrieve the dome and bring it to the Dutch hero hq ", the man said in a voice of urgency.
He nodded in response.
" You'll go to Utrecht and fly the dome here. Avoid all contact with the Abyss class fiend. Don't try to be brave or you'll die ".
" Yes si_
A shock wave diverted through the underground building causing many people to trip and fall.
Geweldige Jongen didn't fall. He was a sentinel after all.
" Dear god, they're still at it ".
" You okay sir?", he asked helping the Supervisor up
" I'm fine just go. Lives are at stake ". He pushed the hero away.
" Now?"
" Yes now. Go!"
Karl was one of the youngest sentinels in the world. Only 19, but he was chosen for his flying speed ( 0 to 2500mph in 0.7 seconds ).
As soon as he left the building he flew fast, faster than he'd ever done before. The urgency demanded it.
Geweldige Jongen ( awesome boy ) was a name the public gave him. He would be saving a whole city.
His rank ( 29 ) could finally go up.
He could reach the top 20 most powerful sentinels in the world.
He was already a few miles from Utrecht's remains. It was completely flooded. He flew close to the sea causing a split to the surface of the water. anywhere he passed.
BOOM
Another shock wave reverted through out the sea.
Karl could see a massive 2000 metre tall tsunami coming towards him. He instantly changed direction and flew up going over it.
A few more minutes of flying and he'd gotten there.
He obeyed the Supervisors commands and ignored the battle. He could barely stay flying when each force of the blows sent a shockwave his way.
' Dear god please don't notice ', he was praying the fiend didn't notice him.
He saw the dome and moved fast. He flew behind it and put his hands on its white rough surface, pushing hard.
The dome had a radius of 2.8km so off course this would be difficult.
The people inside panicked loudly as they shook. They didn't know if it was a hero or the Fiend.
" Dad?"
Tess screamed as the ground( dome ) shook beneath them.
He grabbed on to his daughter's and held them tight.
He wasn't going to lose them.
When Geweldige started flying them top speed, the people screamed louder. They were very scared.
" Don't worry. I'm here to save you!".
He said positively.
Their hearts sank in comfort. They knew that soothing up beat voice. It was Geweldige. " Oh Thank god ".
The Abyss fiend grabbed Ghazul's leg and turned to the dome.
It was gone.
It let go of Ghazul before peering around frantically for where it went in a frantic expression that would scare anyone who beheld It.
Then it found the culprit. A figure flying it away at such high speeds.
::::Birruuuf::::, it said in disbelief.
