Beyond and Above

Prior to the fight strating,every person in the perimeter of it was already on the run as Meyer started shooting in the air.He gathered their attention and threatened them to not try anything funny as it would be futile.If they wanted to live,they just had to ignore everything and keep on running, beacuse the the signal in the area was already off and preparations were made for the fight.Everyone was already scared out of their minds by the situation, so they listened without a problem.This street in particular was mostly populated by old folk and it was quiet most of the times,so almost none of them had experience with this kind of situations and just went with that assured them safety.

Running and trembling in fear,the people were hearing the sounds of a furious fight.It all sounded like lightning strikes were hiting the earth.

At one point,the barrier of sounds was shattered and silence broke free.One sound echoed through the soundless scenary.That was when Meyer finnaly took his gun out.

Yet a woman covered in blood and bruises,of middle stature,with black hair and her teared dress,knuckles scarred and painted in vermilion,with terrifying eyes was standing face to face with him.He,himself,was torn too with his clothes wrecked,his face crimson red from all the blood and his whole body almost exhausted and consumed by newly made scars as he was barely standing and breathing.Every second, the both of them forced a painful exhale.

Destroyed stores with broken windows in pieces,shelves torn apart,walls shattered to a pulp and fisures complemented by soot in the ground,lookalikes of the ones an earthquake can make,were all part of the scenary where the fight took place.The whole place looked like a mess and so did the two fighters,but they took some time to rest a bit,thinking about their next move and with that time,they recovered some of their strenght.

After their rest,Key tried to approach him once more with a slow jab.Meyer jumped to the right and moved out of the way.It looked like Key didn't even try to hit him.

She slowly turned her head in his direction and finnaly went after him seriously.She threw a high kick at him,but he blocked it with his arm.She fell back a little and went for one more kick at his torso.She managed to hit him spot on,but he only gasped a little as saliva flew out of his mouth.He brushed it off with his hand and stood before her once more.She threw a front kick and then another piercing his torso each time,but he only managed to block the first one as the second one pushed him back.

He slowly backed away.At that moment,a metalic sound was made,with his belt the grappling hooks activated.Both of them grappled to the tops of two buildings and propelled him upwards.As he was sent flying,wind blew through his coat and hair strands.In mere seconds,he was above the ground.He put his other hand on the trigger of the shotgun and aimed it down at Key.A sweat dropped down her forehead when she saw the man flying in the sky,but she tought fast about her defence.

As his grappling hooks were taken back in the sockets,he started to fall back down fastly.With his shotgun pointed at Key he pushed the trigger and fired some bullets right at her.In that little timeframe between the impact of her head and the bullets,out of her back,a giant,transparent hand rose and placed it's fingers into the ground making a roof as Key's defence.Between her and the bullets was now standing a hand of the size of a small conveniece store,with a structure just like a human hand.Its protection worked out right on the spot,with the bullets not even scraching Key.They were dispersed into the air as they hit the giant hand.

Seeing that,Meyer sent his grapplers to another two high points that sent him flying once more.Swinging through the air,his clothes and hair were fluttering along with the wind.

As he got close to her again,he shot with the gun a few more bullets.Key managed to dodge them by creating a transparent arm that reached the high point of a building to propel her out of the way.Only one of the bullets managed to scrach her arm a little bit,because her powers were still not fast or strong enough.As she managed to dodge it she landed on the ground and wasted no time thinking.

She screamed at the top of her lungs looking at Meyer standing right in front of her again.

He let out a chuckle and thought about the resilience and perseverence of his foe.Walking into this fight, he thought he got an easy job of killing a scared pupy.Not even studying her moves and life could have predicted her will to live at the moment and so with confussion in his mind,he asked of her "Why do you still fight on.You are a monster with no place in this society!Why do you still fight?!" only to get the simple of answear "Because I finnaly have a chance at happiness.I care about someone and will have to escape from this problem if I want to see them again."

"That is... so boring" responded the man dissapointed.He tought about a bigger purpose for her resilience,but it was just a wish an every day person has. This made him even more furious as he couldn't believe such a person did a considerable amount of damange on him,but he still had strenght left and no way he was done yet.

Key's whole body was still sore as she never put so much pressure on it before.Her eyes were on the verge of tears given the pain.

With another exhale her fingers tightened and her eyes became like the ones of a hawk.Behind her appeared mutiple transparent arms and they were all pointed at the man catching his breath.

He gave out another smirk as he launched himself into the air.While traveling, on his trail were the multitude of bluish arms trying to catch him by grabing continuosly.With no fear in his heart, he alowed each and every one of them to get close to him before he changed the direction.He was flying with each grapple to another building while the hands were getting smashed one by one with the change of his flow.He almost got done as only two more were cashing himin the end.He then abruptly went between them and charged towards Key.The hands did a rotation and side by side were trying to reach him,but to no avail.His speed was imesurable, leaving the pursuers behind by a long shot.

With just one rotation in the air he made the hands go separate ways and right into two buildings.

With his eyes finnaly on Key he grappled his way right next to her only to be met with a defensive stance.He tried to lift up his shotgun and point it again at her,but he was way to close.Key took the oportunity and punched him in the guts with all her might.Both grapplers disconnected from the buildings they were once on and Meyer fell on the ground,luckly on his legs.He wasn't very high up at the moment of the fall,so he didn't get hurt,but the punch landed perfectly from his oponent made him even more infuriated.

He then swinged his shotgun at Key,but she blocked it with her elbow in the nick of time.

A sharp pain met her elbow from the impact but she ignored it and went for a front kick to Meyer's stomach.He managed to block it with his free hand by catching her leg.He pushed it to the side and by placing his hands together on the handle of the shotgun he managed to land a shocking blow on Key's stomach.She tried to breath afterwards,but the pain from getting her liver hit was making it harder and harder.As saliva mixed with blood engulfed her mouth,she let out a painful scream and with the same elbow she once blocked,she hit the shotgun and launched it out of Meyer's hands.

Her mind went black.An emotionless figure started punching right and left into the man beside her.Like a mannequin controlled by a mad man, she was letting her rage out like she had never before.

The man didn't even have time to block before four to five blows were dealt to his head.Afterwards, Key managed to regain focus with her breathing finnaly going back to normal.She was on the brink of falling,but she knew she had to keep going until the assassin is defeated.

Keeping his hands on his head Meyer touched the rivers of blood that were formed on his forehead.He looked in his palm in dissapointment,but that didn't last long as he slided on the ground, picking up his gun once more.The action was however too late as gigantic fist, as big as an entire building came into reality above his head.He managed to only take a look at the grotesque beuty of the lady in the red dress,the dark archangel that sparkled with a tent of crimson red right in front of him and one more look at the horror sight of an unreal element that his mind has barely even grasped.

At the last moment,before collision,his body facing something akin to death,managed to move on it's own.Leaping forward,Meyer only got scratched by the falling fist,but the imense amount of power the shockwave of the fall had, sent him flying all across the street and his shotgun out of his hand.Mist and dirt fueled up the air from the dramatic release of power.Meyer was on the ground as he had taken a big hit,only barely surviving such an attack.He must have understimated his oppenent from the start,but there was no way for him to know the exent an angel's power could go.His body was even more injured now,his face muddy and his toughts stranded in an amalgamation of chaos.His breathing slowly returned to normal as he watched a demonic figure arise through the mist.

His equipment got mangled during his escapade,so he was only left with human fists and his own indominable will.

Both of them were approaching each other slowly.Each step was echoing throught the whole street.Key's classic and stylish shoes that were accompanying her dress were now torn up aswell as Takada's cowboy looking shoes.Like the beuty and the beast the fighters were ready for one final dance.

Changing the pace of their steps,both of them started to run at each other.Like two automatic puppets,they were moving in sync towards each other.

Key drew our her fist and punched with brutality,landing in Meyer's face.Without another tought Meyer punched back without even thinking about losing time defending himself.

Key barely tanked the shot,startled at the fact that Meyer would do something so reckless,but nevertheless she had to go for another strike.She couldn't loose time thinking and so she managed to hit his liver,but got punched right in the face with full strenght,afterwards.It was like they were giving an exchange of pain with each strike.Her ear started to ring as a sharp pain flooded her head.Trying to suffer the pain,she looked right up and hit Meyer's chin with her knee.What came next was a storm of knunckles targeting the face of her opponent.Almost all of them hit their target,but he was still standing with his teeth clenched and his face hard like a stone.His pupils received a tent of red to them and his mouth a bitter taste of blood.His head was boiling,but yet he managed to make his counter-attack with a few blows from each side to Key's stomach.

With all the fury he had accumulated and his last strenght,he pushed Key out of his face with a front kick.

Key stopped for a second as she felt the climax of their fight.Being almost at her limit she finnaly understood that long connection between her soul,the earth and the land above.All the time she had trained, she had fallen and got back up, she made mistakes and corrected them.She felt the ground with every mistake,but she felt relief with every thing she had done right.Even her first shot with a gun done corectly was in some way a relief to her and so she felt the sky too.Her emotions turned to relief once more as she finnaly felt an opening left after the steaming will of the assassin standing before her was seemingly diying out.The last kick made it feel like he wanted to run away already and make her stop.Quite pathetic for the man laughing just a minute ago.

The lightning crossing through her mind,through her veins finnaly made its way to her fists.Her very own fingertips were feeling sparks going in every direction.

She was sensing the rigidness once again too,but without touching the ground,the clouds,but without touching the sky - a combination of light and dark,earth and the sky.

She moved her arms freely and relaxed.They both arrived to the point of making a circle with her fingers.Between them lightning was dancing in every way.A sphere made out grim energy of the clouds appeared out of thin air.

Pieces of rocks were lifted up the ground.With gracefulness,they circled through the air,making their way on the sphere.They all connected with eachother to create a foil for the sphere.A combination between elements was created.

She lifted her right hand that was standing above the sphere and left only her left one to control it.As she extended her hand,the sphere moved with it.Meyer could only watch in horror, because his body couldn't move an inch.This whole ordeal was like a fairy tale for his eyes.

The sphere was a work of art one could only feast their eyes with.Looking at it,his mind was blind,his body stiff and in a second,the sphere was launched towards him.

Key looking with no emotion whatsoever in her pupils chanted these mighty words "Enchant: Go Beyond and Above" as she sent and unstoppable projectile.A element that rendered naugh all manners of reality.A piece of a full moon swimming from the vacumm that rendered the once to be thought a weakling to the one holding the fearless hunter that had lost all hope.

For a second time stood still.In that moment,the foil holding the imense power concentrated inside the spherical object bursted out.The pieces of rocks connected to Meyer's body through lightning.Sparks were coming out of his very own body as it was getting electrified.His limbs went numb ane his muscles got stiff.Every inch of his body,besides his head, was getting bathed in fierce impulses.Impaled by moving bolts of energy, he stood there with no breath and unable to move for the few seconds he had to endure the pain.The sent of burnt skin filled the already duly moistened air.His blood boiled inside his body for the mere seconds the pain continued.It wasn't long before the attack stopped and the rocks fell on the ground,but the damange was already done.In the process of the attack,his head not getting hit was on purpose,because Key simply didn't want to kill him.Yet her purpose was to strictly incapacitate him to the point he couldn't breath normaly,for him to be left in a state between life and death.

He lay there perfectly still as his once restless body fell on the ground,unphased.

He wasn't able to move a finger,only his vocal cords were functional and his mind was still processing the rumble that just happend.Trying to move resulted in pure agony.His body that had come to a halt,twitched as its only movement.The battle was over with a gloomy figure standing before Meyer.A tent of tranquil air breezed all around the figure.It was like she was looking dead in eye of a husk.The stillness of the situation evoked an emotion of fear inside Meyer's barely functional mind.For the first time in his life,he felt death surrounding him.
