The Right Man? Or The Wrong Man?

Kancer quickly took her mask off and began to look around with a knife she had hidden. "Be careful Theseus, I don't think we're dealing with any ordinary person here."

"Yeah, I sorta noticed that, but hey look on the bright side, nothing bad has happened yet-."

Immediately in the aisle across from them, multiple gondola shelves collapsed in on each other creating a massive ruckus, Kancer saw this and started to put herself in front of Theseus, protecting him from any imminent danger.

"You realise I can react faster than you right?"

"Can't you take this seriously already? This is a life or death scenario Theseus, and the best you can do is punch and kick."

"Well-"

From the shelves emerged Jun, bleeding from his head with multiple bruises on his body, Kancer ran towards him to try and help him out since he was the best bet at beating whatever they had to fight.

"FUCK, WHY DIDN'T YOU TWO COME SOONER, DON'T COME OVER HERE IT WILL ONLY MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT ALRIGHT."

Theseus was lost, he didn't fully know what to do nor what he should target, around him was just an ordinary supermarket but clearly something was wrong, different, first the customers disappearing but now the shelves collapsing in on themself? whatever it was, they had to find out quickly.

Kancer was stuck in between Jun and Theseus by around twenty meters and yelled. "SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO, WHAT'S THE PLAN HERE."

"THAT FUCKER KEEPS LAUGHING AND RUNNING AWAY, HE'S PROBABLY A SLIME BUT HE CAN ONLY TARGET ONE PERSON AT A TIME."

Jun slams his fist on a shelf and bursts his wings out clearing everything around.

"HAHAHA DAVVERO? DAVVERO? THERE ARE ONLY THREE OF YOU? HAHAHA." The unknown slime grabbed a nearby handgun and quickly shot Jun's wings incapacitating them "AGH, That little!-"

"LET ME COVER YOU JUN, IT WILL BE EASIER THAT WAY, THESEUS JUST STAY AWAY FROM DANGER ALRIGHT?"

Theseus had never heard a gun go off, nor had he ever been in such a twisted scenario, a man who was known as extremely strong was wounded badly, not only that but what could he even do, how could he prove himself to be useful?

"The eye... JUN? DID THE SHELVES THAT FELL ONTO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN THEM?"

"NO? WHY DOES THAT EVEN MATTER, JUST GIVE ME A COUPLE MINUTES AND I'LL BEAT THAT SLIME BASTARD."

"If the glass jar can vanish, and all the things shelved can as well, then that means the slime can probably control everything here, as well as everything stored, he probably didn't want anything to break."

Kancer looked around frantically, she also had realised what Theseus was thinking and came to a similar conclusion, but simply knowing what their opponent does isn't enough information to beat them instantly, especially if they have a gun. After a couple of seconds, Jun had noticed a small glint behind Theseus, in the corner of his eye, and although he had no real care for either of the people with him, he remembered Kancer's request.

"THESEUS BEHIND YOU, QUICKLY."

Theseus turned around as fast as he could, the bullet had just been fired and the Slime could be seen smiling in the shadows, although bullets are extremely fast, Theseus could realistically grab one if he tried hard enough, but right now dodging it seemed like the best bet.

"Fuck, does that boy have some sort of foresight? No matter, I'll deal with him last then."

"Thanks Jun!."

"Shut up! Where did he go!"

"Oh like, farther and to my right I think." He said whilst pointing in the general direction

Jun bolted his way there immediately whilst Kancer delved deeper into the supermarket, even without any sort of equipment Jun was about if not faster than Kancer and her boots.

"You dare shoot someone as great as me… YOU DIRTY COWARD SHOW YOURSELF."

He quickly began breaking any nearby item on the shelves angering the Slime, Theseus ran towards the ruckus to see if he could help him out.

"Don't slow me down Theseus, just break whatever you see, I'm sure they have some sort of meaning to this guy."

"Wow, I thought this guy only saw red but he can be smart at times too, who would've thought." Theseus joined in breaking multiple glass jars that seemed to contain either organs or precious stones, and the instant he noticed the shelves tilt he alerted Jun.

"RUN! QUICK!"

Theseus had leaped out of the way falling onto the ground whilst Jun had barely made it out.

"Maybe he can be useful."

Hiding away the slime began to chant whilst holding a large red scythe, its blade was a dark red and seemed to have a large collection of eyes near the heel of it, which spread until halfway through.

"I didn't think I'd have to use such a valuable Artifact but those two kids are trouble, ugh, I'll make a profit with their organs." He took a deep breath. "The right man in the right moment and in the right place will do the right thing." He jumps into the air as high as he can revealing himself "BUT THE WRONG MAN AT THE RIGHT MOMENT IN THE RIGHT PLACE, WHAT WILL HE DO?" He threw the scythe about a couple of meters away from in front of him.

"NICE AIM DUMBASS." Jun shouted out assuming his opponent messed up

But out of nowhere, a dark mist appeared around the hilt of the scythe, forming a person, and after a couple of seconds, a Flarean appeared holding onto it, he had a light blue flame and seemed to be wearing some sort of work outfit.

"What the fuck? Who are you? Where am I?"

Jun decided to ignore the man's questions and simply knock him out before anything were to happen, he goes in for a roundhouse kick with incredible speed and power only to be stopped by the scythe.

"WHAT THE HELL MAN, HOW DID I EVEN DO THAT."

"Tch, this will be annoying, Theseus are you going to just stand there watching or are you going to do something useful?" He yells with a bit of anger in his voice and his back turned

"Standing here watching is quite fun so-"

"YOU STUPID KID GET OVER HERE AND HELP ME."

"W-Wait why are there two of you? Where am I?

The slime goes to one of the cash registers and uses the speaker. "Hello? Is this thing working? Seems so, COMMON FLAREAN, YOU HAVE BEEN SUMMONED BY THE SCYTHE, IT IS UP TO YOU TO USE ITS POWER AND DEFEAT ANYONE IN FRONT OF YOU, DOING SO YOUR LIFE WILL BE SPARED AND YOU KEEP THE SCYTHE, FAIL AND YOU DIE ,THE GAME IS SIMPLE."

"You heard him master, fear not for I shall guide you in your time of need." The scythe had formed a mouth on the blade and somehow started speaking.

"Die?! Like death death!? Why am I even here!! Is this a dream!? Things we're just starting to go well…" The Flarean fell to his knees.

"Master you must compose yourself, our enemy is a fierce one."

The Flarean struggled to let go of the scythe "WHY CAN'T I LET GO OF YOU! HEY! THIS IS A DREAM RIGHT? IT HAS TO BE."

Theseus arrived seeming a bit upset and displeased "Hey, Jun, I know you don't like being told what to do and whatnot, but don't you think we can just knock this guy out or something, like, surely we don't have to kill him."

"When a man enters a fight and attempts to kill, he must also put his life on the line, the same goes for us and him, we can't hold back simply because of what's right, either he kills us and lives, or we kill him."

"Fine..." Theseus was sad but his dream has more importance to him.

They both enter a fighting stance with Theseus putting his fists up and Jun positions himself sideways with his left foot forward and raises his fists to chest height. The Flarean cried and began to swing the scythe around with no experience at all

"I should try and find that stupid mouthless girl in the meantime." The Slime Man muttered to himself.

Jun casually dodges the first couple of slashes directed at him and begins to hit the Flarean with a triple kick using his left leg, the first blow using the sole of his foot directed at his head ends up being blocked, the second towards his stomach putting more power ends up being blocked again, with the third he directs it more towards his chest and this time uses the dorsum side of his foot, and although it was blocked by the scythe again, Theseus left no time to delay and punched the Flarean in the side causing him to writhe in pain.

"Remember Theseus, it's either him or you, if you want to realise your dream you must overcome this."

"Good job kid, keep that up."

Jun seemed to enjoy fighting alongside Theseus but something was off, Jun couldn't put his finger on it but he knew something would happen.

They began tagging in and out leaving no room for the Flarean to breathe, they kept barraging him with attacks since everything he would do would end up being easily avoidable, they punched and kicked him over and over again until an opening was found and ready to be taken advantage of, Jun had his right foot forward and decided to do a regular kick aimed at his head to which the scythe blocked, but this was a setup, Jun knew this was going to happen and used the blade to glide his leg down faster to counterattack with a roundhouse kick with all his strength causing the poor Flarean to have a concussion, Theseus saw this opportunity and jumped in with a strong left hook again hitting the Flarean in his face.

"MY MASTER WILL NOT YIELD, IT'S ABOUT TIME WE PUSHED HIM TO THE LIMIT IS IT NOT? SURE HE MAY BE THE WRONG MAN AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN HE CAN PROVE HIMSELF TO CHANGE THAT, I SHALL GRANT YOU POWER AS LONG AS YOU MAY FIGHT MY MASTER SO PLEASE, DO YOUR BEST."

The Flarean began to enrage more and more slowly bulking up more muscle that seemed to come out of thin air. "MY LIFE IS NOT WORTH LESS THAN BOTH OF YOU ALRIGHT, I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND WAITING FOR ME AT HOME AND I KNOW SHE WOULD CRY THE MOMENT ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS TO ME, SO I REFUSE TO LOSE YOU HEAR ME."

"Soooooo, Jun, isn't it about time you used that Second Wind of yours?" Said Theseus nervous about what was about to come.

"Huh? I don't have one."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE ONE? HOW ARE WE MEANT TO WIN!"
