Change

Wonder took a deep breath, as Zale and Ellowyn kept on pursuing him. "What…is this feeling? I feel so on top of the world." Wonder laughed. Womder put his hands together and let his aura flash.

"No, I don't wanna kill them yet. I want to have a little fun and see how this species is under pressure." Wonder purred to himself as he jumped back to dodge Elloyw's punch.

"She's bigger and the old creature is still using his monster to attack me. They want me to keep my distance from Udo?" Wonder dropped to all fours and began to run around the forest at a fast rate.

"Zale, tear the trees down! He's regrowing them with his powers!" Ellowyn screamed.

Zale clapped his hands and floated in the air. "Release!" He yelled, as his aura went off like a bomb and blew the trees away.

Zale and Ellowyn looked around but couldn't find Wonder. Zale caught a glimpse of a shadow and looked up. "Elloywn up above-" Wonder surrounded his fist with aura and threw it at Zale, causing his aura creature to collapse and blind Ellowyn.

"Shit! Not like this! How can someone move so fast!" Ellowyn leaped across the field and threw a punch.

Ellowyn was shocked. Wonder held out his hand and caught the giant fist with his hand. "This…is starting to amuse me." Wonder purred.

Ellowyn bit her lip. "Don't…underestimate us!" She yelled. Ellowyn used her left leg and swung it at Wonder.

Wonder snapped his fingers, causing her kick to stop before touching him. Wonder threw Ellowyn in the air and pointed at her.

"Plasma Canon!" A grey and purple colored aura formed at the tip of Wonder's finger. A powerful beam shot towards Ellowyn and went through her body. "Ellowyn!!" Zale yelled as he slammed his hand on the ground.

Wonder spun around and was met with a giant fist from Zale's creature. Wonder used the tip of his claw to stop the fist from connecting.

Zale managed to push Wonder back. He took this time to look up at Ellowyn. She collapsed on the ground,causing what seemed to be a earthquake. She shrunk back to her normal size and lay on the ground lifeless.

"Ellowyn, wake up! We still have to buy more time for Udo-"

"Time is a funny thing, right?" Womder said as he walked through the clouds of dust. Wonder yawned and sat on the ground. "I'll just wait for Udo to finish his little thing. You can heal her." Wonder said.

"What…did you just say?"

"Heal her…go on."

Who…who does he think he is?! To…look down on someone like me! I'm one of the strongest warriors this land has produced! How…dare he! Zale thought as his aura began to glow brighter than usual.

"Don't attack….there's no need for your blood to spill. You can't defeat me so don't go wasting your energy on it. Heal her and you both can leave."

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Zale yelled.

"I'm Wonder, the king of beast. You…are nothing more than a shield of the REAL predator. Step aside and watch before you get hurt."

Wonder closed his eyes and began to drift off into a deep sleep.

Can't let him sleep! That's how he's able to repair his aura so quickly! Zale made a hand sign. "Infinity palm strike!"

Wonder was shocked to see the golden creature lift up all its arms. Wonder's ears flicked as he could hear a hand coming from behind him.

Wonder stomped on the ground, causing himself to jump in the air and dodge the attack.

"Big mistake." Zale laughed as a barrage of punches came from the giant creature. Wonder used his arms to block the attacks.

He was stunned by the force which the monster was hitting him. For the first time, wonder could feel pain.

This feeling…what is it? It makes me wanna back away. I…love it! He thought. Wonder quickly fell to the ground and began to dodge the punches being thrown at him.

"The barrage won't stop…until the target is completely obliterated!" Zale laughed.

While the creature was throwing punches with its thousands palms, Wonder studied the creature's punching patterns and quickly realized the pattern.

Wonder took a deep breath and leaped through the punches, dodging one by one in a swift motion. Womder landed on one of the arms of the creature and began to run on all fours towards Zale.

"He managed to dodge!? No matter! He can't get past the rest-"

Suddenly, Wonder jumped up, and closed his eyes. "Beast technique: Amplification…Punch!"

Wonder threw a punch that traveled through the creature's arms. The punch was unseen. Zale couldn't sense anything. He felt a powerful strike in his heart, as he collapsed to the ground.

The creature disappeared as Wonder's red glowing eyes approached Zale. "I like your abilities. I think…I'll just take them. I'm not hungry so I won't eat you. However…there is someone else I want." Wonder yawned as he sat down in front of Zale.

Zale was struggling to breath. He could feel something moving and falling out of his chest. "You're a selfish one. If I were you…I would have revived and healed my companion. Instead, you let your pride and ego get to you. That…is what led to your death, Zale." Wonder said as he started to fall asleep.

Zale looked back and noticed Udo still meditating. A smirk came across Zale's face as he looked back at Wonder.

"You damn mythical beast…always special. Tell me…does Udo have something to do with the death of-"

"A woman named: Gia…a beautiful and strong woman. Yes…Udo is the cause of her death." Wonder sighed as tears poured from his face.

Zale couldn't believe it and was confused. "There…really is no point or hope. Shall…shall we make a little deal?" Zale asked as he could barley hold his eyes open.

Wonder's ears twitched as he began to listen. "My final attack…if it doesn't kill you…which I'm sure it won't. I want you to revive Ellowyn. I'm return…I'll give you part of my powers."

"Why do such a deal? You get nothing-"

"I get to die…die knowing her death wasn't on me. It's…on that twisted fuck behind me! I don't want to live…I've been alive for far too long. Everyone has to go…everyone." Zale said.

Wonder opened his eyes. "Everyone…has to go? You must be referring to death. Death…is natural for most beings. But, not me. I don't plan on dying, Zale. Not now or ever. Life…life is too precious to give up on. That's why I don't understand you right now. A real man…would try to live for Gia."

Zale ignored Wonder and held a ball of energy in his hand. "Live for Gia, huh? If you ever find love…you'll know there's no point of living without them. You are technically a child still. You don't know what it means to have companionship or anything. Take this…king of beast."

Zale slammed the ball into the ground. The entire area lit up. Wonder looked to his side, leaped across the field, and grabbed Ellowyn.

"What…an magnificent attack, Zale. Not bad…not bad at all." Wonder purred, as the explosion went off. The entire area was destroyed. Wonder landed on a nearby cliff and noticed a slight burn mark on his arm.

"It really did harm me, huh? Haha, not bad!" Wonder held his hand over Ellowyn and started to heal her.

While healing, Wonder noticed Udo gone from his original spot. "Was he blown away?"

"Damn, you can't even sense me, huh? That's some nose and ears you've got there." Udo said.

Wonder turned his head slowly and gave Udo a death stare. Udo almost had shivers from Wonder's look.

"When you are done…it's just me and you from here on out." Udo said. He sat down and stared at Wonder with an intense look in his eyes.

"I'm done. Only needed a couple of seconds." Wonder yawned.

"Where should we settle this? It can't be on the island."

"Don't worry about the island. There won't be collateral damage. My mind won't allow it." Wonder said with a smirk.

A soft breeze blew as the two faced-off. Udo took a fighting stance and so did Wonder. They both surrounded their aura around their fists.

"This will be a fight to the death!"

"This will be a fight to the death!"
