Berserk

Maximus collided with Asterios. The two both had their palms and fingers of their hands colliding with each other as they both attempted to push the other away.

Asterios pushed Maximus back a bit, and then Maximus pushed Asterios back a bit.

Minimus thought. "His right heart was regenerated?" An image flashed in his mind of when Maximus and Mars showed up together, and he thought. "Was it Mars?"

Asterios used more force and shoved Maximus away from him. Maximus skidded along the sand for a few meters until his feet were trapped in the sand. He looked at Asterios and began laughing maniacally. The specks of black in his light red eyes began to become bigger.

Astraea dashed across the sand and swung her katana horizontally toward Maximus's neck.

Maximus leaned his entire body back, and the katana swung right over him.

Astraea then changed her direction and went straight down with the katana toward Maximus's neck.

Maximus smirked mischievously and bent the entire upper half of his body down all the way until both of his hands were touching the ground just like his feet.

Minimus said with shock. "How can he bend like that?! Brother was never that flexible before!"

Maximus raised his legs and rested all of his weight on his hands. He then spun both of his legs toward Astraea's legs.

Astraea quickly reacted and jumped back.

Maximus launched himself up from his hands and spun in the air until he landed on his feet again.

Asterios said with annoyance. "It's because he isn't himself anymore. His body can now do what it couldn't before. But, his sense of self is completely gone."

Maximus laughed crazily. The black specks in his eyes began to become smaller as his eyes became darker. His eyes changed from light red eyes to red eyes. He dashed toward Astraea.

Astraea quickly swung her katana toward Maximus.

Maximus smacked the katana out of Astraea's hand and kicked Astraea in the chest.

Astraea was sent flying backward into a sand dune. When she collided with the sand dune sand and blood was sent flying everywhere.

Maximus caught the katana in mid-air with his left hand. He then looked at Asterios and Minimus.

Minimus held his sword in his left hand tightly as he looked at Maximus.

Maximus looked at Minimus and Astraea and then quickly dashed toward Astraea.

Asterios disappeared from where he was standing.

Maximus raised the katana up in the air as he ran towards Astraea. He then suddenly stopped moving.

Asterios appeared behind Maximus, and his right arm wrapped around Maximus's neck as he attempted to choke Maximus.

Maximus continued to try and move toward Astraea but was unable to do so. He noticed Asterios's right arm wrapped around his neck. He had an annoyed expression on his face.

Asterios looked over at Minimus and said. "What are you doing?! End him quickly before he gets even more powerful!"

Minimus thought with resolve. "He's right!" He dashed toward Maximus and thought. "I need to end this!"

Maximus lifted up his right hand and grabbed Asterios's right arm. The small black specks in his red eyes began to become bigger. He began to squeeze Asterios's right arm with his right hand. When he squeezed it, the black and red armor around Asterios's arm began to cave in.

Asterios groaned with pain. Blood began to ooze out of his right arm, but he attempted to maintain his arm around Maximus's neck.

Maximus began to forcefully move Asterios's arm from around his neck until Asterios's right arm was completely straight in front of him. The blood from Asterios's right arm dripped onto the ground.

Minimus froze in place as he thought with surprise and fear. "Did he just break Asterios's arm?!"

Maximus glanced at Minimus and then threw Asterios toward Minimus.

Asterios and Minimus both collided with each other and fell onto the sand.

Maximus quickly looked at Astraea and began to dash toward her with the katana in hand. He raised the katana up.

Astraea watched Maximus run toward her and attempted to move her body as she lay in a sand dune.

Asterios lay on top of Minimus as he watched Maximus run toward Astraea. He had an angry expression as he yelled out. "Don't go near her! Stay away!" He disappeared from where he was.

Maximus laughed maniacally as he brought the katana down toward Astraea's head. He mumbled softly. "Re...ven...ge..."

Asterios appeared next to Maximus and Astraea. Blood continued to ooze out of his right arm and drip onto the ground.

Astraea moved her left leg as she saw the katana getting closer and closer to her face.

Asterios lowered his body to the ground and dashed toward Maximus's legs.

Astraea kicked the bottom of Maximus's left hand right before the katana could cut through her face. The impact made both Maximus's left hand fly up and the katana. The katana completely flew out of Maximus's left hand and landed in the sand a few meters behind him.

Asterios tackled Maximus, and they both landed in the sand. Asterios was on top of Maximus as he repeatedly punched Maximus in the face with his left hand. Both of his knees pinned down both of Maximus's hands.

Astraea got out of the sand dune and began to wobble towards the katana, which was sticking upright in the sand. Blood dripped from her body onto the sand beneath her.

Minimus got up out of the sand with his sword in his right hand. He looked at Asterios and Astraea and thought. "They are both fighting so hard to end Brother, and I haven't done anything yet! I need to go help them!" He looked over at Astraea.

Astraea grabbed the katana from the ground with her left hand. She had an annoyed expression on her face as she wobbled toward Asterios and Maximus.

Minimus looked over at Asterios and Maximus.

Asterios continued to throw his left fist into Maximus's face.

Maximus looked annoyed as he repeatedly got hit by Asterios. He lifted both of his legs up.

Minimus immediately began to run toward Asterios and Maximus.

Maximus bent his legs forward until his feet dug into both of Asterios's armpits

Astraea grabbed the hilt of the katana with both hands and swung.

Maximus attempted to use the strength from his legs to knock Asterios off of him but was immediately interrupted by Astraea. Astraea completely cut through his right leg. His right leg flew up into the air until it came crashing back down into the sand.

Maximus immediately freaked out. The dark specks in his red eyes became even bigger. His red eyes were almost completely black. He moved his left leg and dug his left foot into the sand. He then used force to topple Asterios off of him and next to his right side. Afterward, he immediately climbed on top of Asterios and grabbed his face with his right hand. He then repeatedly began slamming the back of Asterios's head into the sand.

Minimus swung his sword down towards Maximus's neck from Maximus's left side.

Maximus grabbed the blade of the sword with his left hand. He then pulled both the sword and Minimus toward him and sent them both flying over him.

Minimus rolled onto the sand several times until he finally stopped when he was several meters away from Asterios and Astraea. He thought with frustration. "Tossed aside again... He doesn't even try to fight me..." He looked over at Astraea, Maximus, and Asterios.

Maximus began to repeatedly slam the back of Asterios's head into the sand again.

Astraea said angrily as she wobbled toward Maximus. "Stop...! Don't... touch him...!" She stood directly behind Maximus. She grabbed the hilt of her katana with both hands as the blade faced downward toward Maximus.

Maximus lay on top of Asterios as he repeatedly slammed Asterios's head into the sand. Asterios was powerless to do anything.

Astraea brought her sword down toward the right side of Maximus's back.

Maximus dashed out of the way of Astraea's katana.

Astraea's katana came down towards the right side of Asterios's chest.
