I collided with Dark Don. Shockwave tore through the golden mountains.
"DAMN YOU'RE STRONG!" I shouted, staggering.
He swung. I twisted. He kicked. I ducked.
"Not bad!" I yelled, deflecting his fist.
He phased forward, fists glitching black and white.
"Blink if you can hit me!" I taunted, stepping aside. Shot upward. Booted him into the air.
"WOO! NICE!"
"DON'T GET TOO COCKY!" He streaked down. Lunar energy snapped with every step.
"Don't worry, I won't!" I shot through the sky, weaving past jagged rocks. Slammed through a mountain—crater bloomed beneath me.
He warped behind. Swing—BAM!
"OW!" I yelled, careening toward the ruined city.
My body struck a building and rebounded. Structures blurred past in glowing streaks.
"Too slow!" I shouted as Dark Don darted left, right, roaring. He appeared before me. Fists collided. Air cracked. I twisted, spun, crashing through twenty structures. Rubble sprayed like shards of glass.
He rose amid debris. Launched like a star. Uppercut near my face.
"Not bad!" I yelled, propelling into the orange sky. Twisted sideways. He vanished. Fists blurred. We spun midair, colliding in bursts of energy.
He flashed above a golden peak. I dove, twisting. Left kick, right kick, hurricane kick.
"THINK AGAIN!" He swooped, vanished behind. Roared, surged forward. Missed.
"Ha! You'll have to do better than that!" I darted sideways. Violet beam tore skyward. Lunar light split clouds. Fingers snapped. Planet-wide flash.
Right hook. Mountains shredded.
"Argh!" I swerved. He slammed my strike. Violet streak ripped through a peak.
He struck my face with both fists.
"Not fast enough!" I yelled. I vaulted above him, drop-kicked, spun palm out. Lunar light warped us back to the city.
"COME ON!" I zipped toward him. Fists reeling. Teeth gritted. Lunar glass encased him. I hammered it, striking from every angle.
"GET OUT OF THERE ALREADY!" I shouted. One more strike. He grabbed my head.
"Damn it!"
Black-and-white lunar beam tore through me. Darkness spread. He hurled me downward, reappearing to slam me forward.
I spiraled, crashed through a building. Rubble exploded.
"RAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I roared.
Celestial energy flared. Eyes blazing. He struck my chest—shockwave snapping outward. I dodged glitching fists, surged forward. Violet dome erupted.
He reappeared behind.
"CELESTIANITE WEAKLING! YOUR TRIBE DESERVES PAIN!"
"How is the tribe feeling pain if I'm getting smashed?!" I yelled, darting through blasts. Zipped in front.
"BE FOR REAL, DARK DON!" I twisted through right hooks, gut punches, tearing through buildings. Vaulted over ruins.
He launched forward. Fists smashed. Beams vaporized everything. Mountains fell. Structures exploded.
He grabbed my head, slammed me into a mountain. Dragged me across in lunar light. Mountain split.
"NOT FAST ENOUGH!" I kicked him off. Launched midair. Twisted. Power-shot erupted, peaks collapsing. White-and-black energy shot skyward. Rocks blasted into the air. Beam stretched across the city.
"RAHHHHHH!" he screamed.
I charged celestial power. Hair, eyes sparkling. Side kick streaked.
"You can't hide!" I shouted. He vanished, reappeared behind. White-black energy erupted. Fingers snapped. Light fractured.
I streaked past falling mountains. Energy coiled around my wrists. Reality warped. I warped in a KX jump, ripping between golden peaks. Arms behind back, everything blurred.
We collided midair. Fists clashed, glitching. Lunar and celestial energy erupted.
"Is that all you got?!" I yelled.
"Never!" he shouted. Twin stars collided, tearing mountains.
Beam roared from his palms. Peaks vibrated. I shot violet streaks, clapped hands, celestial beam descending.
Hair whipped. I roared: "RACING STARS!"
Dark Don canceled his beam. Lunar energy spiraled around his palm. Beam struck—vanished.
He cracked his neck. Grabbed my head. Gravity yanked me off balance.
"NO—!" I launched past mountains. Violent blurs. Everything fractured. Stopped midair. Energy coiled inside me. I blasted him backward, splitting the sky. Celestial light jagged through clouds.
"YEAH! FEEL THIS!" I screamed. KX flared, lightning crackling along my veins.
Dark Don watched, arms crossed, smirk sharp. Eyes followed the glowing tower of power.
Energy whipped outward. Stance locked. Eyes burning.
"Finally," he said softly. "Let's see what you've got."
We surged, collided. Shockwave tore mid-sky. Mountains trembled. Clouds shredded.
Fists blurred. I dodged, twisted, grabbed them. Twirled him midair, spiraling into celestial vortex. Back slammed into a mountain. Rocks shattered. Dust whipped like storms.
He twisted. Reappeared. Fists glitched white with ultra energy.
"HA! TOO SLOW!" I shouted. He shot me through the sky like a lightning bolt.
Lunar energy erupted behind me. I blasted straight through. Pain, heat, raw power. I spiraled, light cascading around me.
"CAN'T KEEP UP, DON!" I yelled. Kick slammed his face. He darted downward like a missile. Land shook.
I flipped across collapsing terrain. Mountains fell. Dust screamed.
Leap. Glitched behind him. Energy coiled. KX flared in my eyes—but a flicker. My power shimmered, unstable.
"TIME… TO END THIS?" I whispered. Celestial ring formed, trembling.
I fired a shockwave. He vanished. Uppercut sent me spiraling through clouds. Sky streaked orange and white.
Fists blurred, billions of micro-blurs. Fingers flicked. Reality cracked. Celestial flames spun wildly—turning against me.
"ARGH!" My scream echoed across fractured mountains.
He swirled. Lunar fire burned. Slammed into me. Shockwave rippled. Mountains vaporized. Land turned to dust. Sky twisted. Only white.
Snap. Fingers. Everything snapped back. Battlefield flickering.
He struck me side to side. Midair. Plummeting.
Glowing lunar streaks. Curved, boosted. Uppercut. Spiraled through Room of Zeniths tower. Concrete shattered. Glass exploded. Dust rained.
I hit the ground. Collapsed. KX sputtered, energy dimming. Vision blurred.
Dark Don flashed to the floor. Arms crossed. Smirk sharp.
"Pathetic," he said.
I lay gasping. Base form. Energy crackling weakly. KX gone. Body burned. Eyes faintly glowing. City, mountains, sky—everything twisted, exploded, reformed.
It wasn't over. Not yet.
