1V1 BATTLES: THREE WAY SHOWDOWN

Monk and John were flying in opposite directions of each other with two muscular beings following very closely behind. Monk flew fast into a tree and from the air the clone was coming in with a powerful fist towards him. Before the clone got close enough a golden guard created by Monk appeared in front of the being and kicked it causing an explosion to go off that sent the being flying to the left. The golden guard returned to Monk's side and a second one was created on his left side. He then got up and got into a meditative pose. The being came rushing out very fast towards him and one of the guards met the being and threw a punch. The being dodged the punch before kicking the guard in the side sending him flying. The being was about to move when the second guard appeared so fast the being didn't see it and punched it in the face setting off another explosion. Then the second guard appeared behind the being and grabbed it's head from behind slamming it into the ground. The guard then jumped back before the being could retaliate and the second guard came to kick the being in the face causing another explosion and sending the being flying up high into the air. The first guard then jumped after the being and gave the being an axe kick sending it to the ground only for the second guard to appear there and deliver an uppercut sending the being flying upwards. The first guard tried to repeat the axe kick but the being grabbed it's legs and slammed it into the second guard. He then dashed towards Monk the second his leg touched the ground and before Monk could react a fist was planted in his stomach. Monk is sent flying into a tree and just like all the other times he gets up with no damage received. The being then threw a very small rock at him and the rock bounced off a golden shield that lit up the split second the rock touched it and disappeared just as fast. "Just as I thought. You and your friend seem to have some kind of protection although in different colors. I guess I will have to increase my power a little more to do some damage." The being said. The being then dashed forward faster than before and punched the shield and just like all times Monk was sent flying without a single injury. The being moved at an even faster pace than before hitting Monk to the ground with no damage. It then moved at a speed that was two times the speed it started with and before it could touch him a giant golden hand appeared and slapped him into a tree. When it hits the tree 4 golden guards appeared by it's side and hit the being all at once causing a very powerful explosion that destroys the whole tree and kicked up dust. Then when Monk was preparing another attack the being moved at three times the speed it had started with and covered the distance between the two in a second while landing a punch that was so powerful it sent Monk flying through four different trees before hitting a fifth one and falling to the ground. Monk then got up and blood could be seen trickling from his head. He was injured for the first time since the fight started.

John was sent flying in the opposite direction of Monk due to the split kick and when he managed to stop himself from flying further he was in a whole new area just outside the forest. In front of him was the forest he just came from and behind him was an open rocky area that looked like a desert. The forest floor was covered in ice but strangely behind him was a whole desert area. The area was quite small as a few meters behind and the ice forest continued. Before he could try to figure out where he was the being flew from the trees in front of him at the same speed it had gone when the fight had started aiming a fist at his head. The being was coming at a manageable speed and John managed to dodge the fist before sending a few trees after the being. After the being had missed it stopped itself only to be hit a second later by a tree. The being regained it's composure in time to see the other trees coming and quickly deflected them with his fists. After deflecting all the trees the being was about to move when more trees were sent towards it. It jumped into the first tree and started using the trees as a platform to allow it to get closer to John. When it was close enough it tried to punch him but John switched places with the being and allowed the tree to send him away using his spacial energy to redirect the tree a little upwards as he started using the tree like a serf board. The being grabbed a huge piece of rock from the desert area and aimed well before throwing it with such power that it causes John to be flung of the tree. The being then jumped up and cought John in the sky before maneuvering itself onto John's back adding more wait onto John's body and then jumped of John's back with a lot of strength accelerating John so much that when he hit the ground his body made a rebound while he spat out blood. "I see my clone was right. It seems both you and your friend have some kind of shield because you should have died from that." The being said as John managed to raise himself of the ground and stand on his feet. "It's not over yet. Am just getting started." John said as he got into a fighting stands.

Mia stood there looking at the mysterious stranger as he stood there with her best friend by his side. She had seen him touching Cora's head and then Cora started attacking her all of a sudden. Thoughts were going through Mia's head about how to rescue her friend as Cora fired of another light beam at her. Mia had entered absolute energy control form and had two minutes left. She needed to finish everything in two minutes. Mia moved fast dodging the light beam before sending an invisible force that sent Cora flying backwards and binded her to the wall. "Cora, I know you are in there. I don't want to hurt you. please fight whatever is happening to you." She said. Cora could hear and see everything going on but couldn't control her body and she couldn't do anything to change that. Cora then broke through the unknown energy Mia had used to bind her before turning into a streak of light and flying towards Mia. Mia had her energy sense on and had moved out of the way just as Cora reached her. The streak of light continued until it reached the wall of the cave where Mia expected her to leave the form but instead she bounced off the cave and her speed increased. She went in a random direction and bounced off the cave wall again increasing her speed. This continued until Mia's energy sense couldn't follow the speed anymore and at that moment Cora appeared beside her kicking her towards the wall. Mia was slammed into the wall due to the speed Cora used to kick her. Mia had decided then and there that she would save her friend even if she had to knock her out. Mia got up from the ground and just as Cora appeared beside her again this time she jumped dodging the kick before delivering a kick of her own with all her strength knocking out Cora. She then went to try and attack the boy but had missed the movement of Cora's unconscious body. As expected, the boy had control of Cora's body not mind therefore knocking Cora out wouldn't change anything. Before Mia could react an unexpected light beam blasted her to the back of the cave wall. Mia got up and now saw Cora moving around with no problem but she could have sworn she knocked her out. Mia started gathering a massive amount of energy and the boy could see this. Mia created a small orb in her hand that she was going to use for something powerful but before she could do anything the boy appeared in front of her and tapped her head pushing her out of control of her own body.

Back at the base Speedy had returned to find professor Winsel missing. He searched the entire base and didn't find him. So he was going to relax in his room when he heard a sound coming from the control center. Walking in he could see the tracker designated to Mia was blinking red. He instantly ran out of the base. When he exited the base he set his tracker to locate Mia. He then got into a running pose. Pure blue lightning surrounded his whole body and the next second he had turned into a streak of lightning headed in the direction of the cave. Hoping to save his friend.
