Chapter 3

He remained still, and watched her run towards him with full resolve. All he could see was rage, pure rage that has clouded her reasoning and process of decision making. He stretched his arm and froze her with his telekinesis. Having no conspicuous intention of fighting her, he slowly turned away. She freed herself then gathered enough momentum and darted her sword towards Ego. He made no movement to avoid being hit by the weapon as it caromed off his chest.

“You plan on dieing when it is not your time for I do not plan on killing you today” he turned to the other side “Maybe next time”. Jayna suddenly felt a heavy push which almost knocked her off her feet as Ego skyrocketed away.

He flew with an insane level of speed through the clouds then lowered himself, maintaining same height as the skyscrapers. A star shaped reflection struck his eyes, causing him to stop mid air. A bulky figure was seen floating a couple of distance away from him. The figure slowly approached him to reveal a man in a mechanized suit of armor which was partly covered in human flesh, a CYBORG.

“On the authority of the Bureau of Superhuman Intelligence, you are advised to surrender and bear the consequences of your crimes” he instructed.

The night got even quieter as Ego glared non stop at the cyborg and made zero utterance.

“whats his problem?” the cyborg mumbled, then continued. “Surrender yourself and make no attempt to retaliate or I will be forced to attack and I will stop you” He warned aggressively.

Ego stayed still like a statue and kept on with his glare. Then finally responded “They sent a computer to try to stop me this time, how insulting” his voice sounded even more sinister this time.

“Thats where you're wrong man” the cyborg grinned as he flexed his muscular arms “I'm way more than just a computer, I'm a friggin cyborg!!!” he cooed.

“That doesn't make you any much of an opponent” He zoomed forward with supersonic speed, attempting to hit the cyborg. He reacted at equivalent speed and dodged his attack. Then blasted him with his arm cannon. Ego took the hit like a brush of wind then suddenly appeared behind the cyborg and punched his jaw, sending him deep into the clouds. He flew after him and slammed him down with his two arms. The striking force was so powerful that it created a huge hole through the clouds, forming a large circle in the sky. The cyborg started falling with so much speed that he looked like a falling astroid. He came crashing down like an atomic bomb, the impact released a force that covered a huge radius. Destroying a couple of skyscrapers, including other buildings and structures. Ego slowly landed among the ruins expecting to see pieces of robot scraps scattered all over the place.

“That can't kill me”.

A voice echoed from the centre of the impact and out came the cyborg still in one piece. He stretched his limbs to recover from the crash “Gotta be honest, I've never felt such a punch since I was created. You really are something. Now, back to the part where you surrender”. He said.

He transformed his right arm into a long silver coloured sword made of steel then zoomed himself towards Ego. He swirled, aiming for his neck but was suddenly frozen by Ego as he effortlessly grabbed his sword and broke it in an instant. He then shot him with his heat vision which cyborg immediately blocked by activating a shield with his left arm. His right arm coming back together, layer upon layer of metal then flesh joining back to form a complete arm which he then infused with a rocket and launched a massive punch directly towards Ego. He whirled with his superspeed, enabling him to dodge the strike then shot his heat vision the second time which sent the cyborg meters away into a parked gas tank which exploded upon impact.

Ego's eyes was still glowing red after shooting the heat vision. Cyborg blasted his way through the debris and got out to face Ego once again. Ego swiftly moved forward and so did the cyborg as both collided and engaged in a fierce some test of strength. The force of the collision created a huge blast of shockwave which caused glasses to shatter. If only the ground could weep, there would have been a tsunami of tears as it suffered the enormous strength and energy Ego exhibited during the test of strength against cyborg.

Cyborg kept on trying to oppose Ego's power, the ground he was standing on as support couldn't hold it anymore as it started to crack and break apart. Rockets shot out from his back which gave him more strength and momentum but it still wasn't enough. He couldn't believe what was happening. Ego was barely trying to best him with his strength but he who happened to be going all out couldn't even make him budge.

Ego suddenly rose up above cyborg and blasted him with a large beam of heat vision. It sent him straight to the ground, making cracks through the road until he finally hit a truck which capsized on impact. Cyborg hastily got up and rocketed away with his jet boots and repulsor rays built in his gauntlet which enabled him to stabilize himself during flight. Ego didn't waste anytime as he started the chase. The fight could have ended sooner but it seemed to me that Ego was enjoying every single moment of it. He chased the cyborg at limited speed as he was curious what he had planned.

He finally landed in an isolated area which was completely idle of all human activities with scratches all over his body and a few missing parts. Ego landed as well and kept his distance.

“I've got you right where I wanted” the cyborg assured.

He made for his chest and pushed it open, revealing his energy core. He drew out immense power from this core and unleashed a wide range of sophisticated weaponry, all pointing towards Ego. He created a large force field around to trap him inside while he launched everything and sealed off the force field, creating an ultimately powerful blast which prevented the cyborg from being able to hold up the force field long enough to contain it with Ego inside, but long enough to carry out it's main purpose. Cyborg stood up and squinted through the smoke from the explosion, all he could see was an astronomical hole on the ground with no sign of a dead body.

He probably got evaporated from the blast, he thought.

Bewilderment struck his eyes when he spotted red eyes from the thick smoke. The same eyes which belonged to the person he thought was dead. “How did you...” He zoomed towards the cyborg and gaged him before he could finish his sentence. He held him by the neck and glared ferociously into his eyes while the he struggled endlessly.

“I-I won't let you kill me” he croaked.

He grabbed Ego's head and blasted it, causing Ego to free him. He pushed his core and generated more energy from it, electric aura started to surround him while he drew out all the energy. His arm started to transform bit by bit, changing shape layer upon layer and he blasted Ego with a large beam of pure energy with his arm canon. An attack that seriously weakened him, causing him to fall to the ground. Noticing he couldn't locate his presence, he sighed gracefully as the fight he said, was over.

“Yeah that's right, I wanna see you survive an attack equivalent to the force of a thousand exploding suns”.

“Not bad!” Ego's voice echoed. “But it seems it hurt you more than it did to me”

“Thats impossible, ho-how did you?...”.

He ferociously lifted the cyborg by his neck few feet off the ground. “I must admit, you act really dumb for a computer”.

“I am not a computer!” he croaked.

“Oh yes you are, you are a computer. One that dares to fight a god”. He strengthens his grip on the cyborg then continued, “Have you ever heard of the famous Cosmic Glider?, he was popularly known as the most powerful superhero to have ever existed and even with all the cosmic abilities he possesses, he fell during our battle. Before him you're just a computer that's covered in human flesh, before me you are nothing but a little insect that can be easily squashed by the hands of an average kid!”.

His eyes raged with red as the sun slowly peaked through the horizon. The morning twilight slowly broke the atmosphere. “I'll simply put you out of your misery, Now DIE!!!” He fired a powerful beam of heat vision right into the cyborg's eyes which started melting, dripping down his hands. The beam went through his metallic skull, then came out through the other side of his head. It was a matter of time before I realized that he just beheaded a cyborg with his heat vision!.

I have never seen such amount of pure darkness in one person. His eyes were filled with so much rage that being aware I could see through those eyes filled my heart with fear.

He absorbed all the energy from the cyborg's core and gazed at the sky for a short while then sky rocketed away and headed back home.
