Doctor VS James (2)

The doctor, David, stood frozen for a moment, shocked to see Peter standing before him. However, his surprise quickly turned into a sinister smile as he rushed toward Peter with tremendous speed. Peter barely dodged the attack, but the impact of the missed punch left a massive crack in the wall behind him.

David lunged again, relentless in his assault. Peter, breathing heavily, kept dodging, retreating as he evaded each blow. Finally, Peter stopped, planting his feet firmly on the ground.

"There's nowhere left to run," David sneered.

Peter smirked, his confidence unwavering.

David charged again, but this time, Peter ducked under his swing, grabbed a nearby knife, and stabbed David multiple times in the back. Blood seeped from the wounds, but the effects of the pills kept David standing. He roared in pain and fury, retaliating with a powerful punch that sent Peter rolling across the floor.

Peter staggered to his feet, breathing heavily. David, relentless, approached with a menacing grin. Just as he was about to land another devastating blow, Vardan, mustering every ounce of strength and stamina, charged and landed a powerful punch to David's face. The unexpected attack made David stagger backward.

Peter seized the moment, delivering a surprise kick to David's chest, forcing him back even further. Vardan grabbed the knife and lunged at David, but the doctor managed to dodge the attack at the last second.

Realizing they had to work together, Peter and Vardan launched a coordinated assault. They landed several blows, and Vardan managed to make a few slashes with the knife, including a shallow cut on David's neck. However, the damage wasn't enough to bring him down, thanks to the effects of the pills.

David began to grow frustrated. Though he could easily overpower individuals, he realized that Peter and Vardan's teamwork and coordination were a challenge even for him. His frustration boiled over, and in desperation, he pulled out more pills and swallowed them all at once.

Peter and Vardan, both exhausted, watched in horror as David's muscles swelled even further. His strength and speed seemed to double, and he smiled wickedly. Before they could react, David rushed at Vardan, landing a brutal punch that sent him crashing to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth. Vardan lay motionless, barely conscious.

David then turned his attention to Peter. Nearby, Peter grabbed a table and used it as a shield, but David's punch shattered the table, leaving only splinters. Peter tried to retaliate with a kick to David's face, but the attack had no effect. David merely smiled, brushing it off like it was nothing.

The doctor swung again, and though Peter dodged, the glancing blow left a gash on his cheek. Peter, realizing he was outmatched, turned and ran. David laughed as he chased him, easily closing the gap. He toyed with Peter, letting him think he had a chance to escape, before finally cornering him.

As David prepared to deliver the finishing blow, he suddenly froze. His hands flew to his neck, and he let out an agonized scream. His veins bulged unnaturally, and his eyes turned a horrifying shade of blood-red.

Peter paused, watching in confusion. It dawned on him that the doctor had overdosed on the pills, triggering a severe side effect. Taking advantage of the moment, Peter summoned the last of his strength and attacked. Each blow pushed David further back, until he finally collapsed, writhing in pain.

David coughed up blood, his vision blurring as he begged for help. His screams grew weaker until his bloodshot eyes rolled back. Peter, knowing he had to finish it, delivered a final, bone-shattering kick to David's face. The impact created a massive crack in the floor. David's body fell limp, lifeless.

Exhausted but victorious, Peter looked over to see Vardan and Jay unconscious nearby. (Jay had been knocked out earlier when Peter, disoriented after being freed, mistook him for the doctor and attacked him.) Peter carefully lifted both onto his shoulders and made his way to the elevator.

When the doors opened, Peter stepped out to a scene of devastation. Old man Johan sat amidst a sea of defeated enemies, some unconscious, others dead. Johan looked up, saw Peter carrying Vardan and Jay, and gave a tired smile.

The two men exchanged a silent nod of respect. However, before they could say a word, Leo, misunderstanding the situation, rushed toward Peter, thinking he was harming Vardan and Jay.

Peter sighed, setting the unconscious duo down, and delivered a single punch to Leo's face. Leo collapsed instantly, fainting on the spot.

Johan chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Still got it, huh, Peter?"

Peter smirked. "Let's get them out of here."

Together, the two old warriors carried their allies to safety, the battle finally over.
