Chapter 7: The confrontation.

Steve stands up, sore and full of wounds and bruises that he suffered as he rolled on the floor. With difficulty, he stands up and looks around, looking for the man. He sees right ahead, the masked man already standing. The man didn't seem to be badly hurt, he had only a few grains and tears on his clothes. Steve walked towards him, limping from the right leg and bleeding heavily, holding the katana in the right hand. The man also walks towards him, and when they get close to each other, the masked asks:

- What did you think you're doing? Did you think I would die with it?

- No, I knew you wouldn't. I just didn't know if I would. I got that you're not human, you're some other shit - responds Steve, with a weak voice.

- I'm really not. Call me Ace. You've got determination kid, but I'll end you here, and then your friends - answers Ace, with his hoarse voice.
