Brother's Wrath

Eidolon opened his mouth...

WHAM!

Troy's fist crashed into his jaw, hurling him out of the lab like a missile. Glass shattered. Metal groaned. Eidolon's body tore through layers of concrete and steel before blasting into the sky, vanishing in a blur.

News helicopters already swarmed the scene like vultures. Cameras zoomed in, catching every frame.

Bubble Boy rocketed after him, propelled by a swirling surge of bubbles that glowed a blinding blue.

“You think you can touch her and walk away?!”

He caught up in seconds, driving a barrage of bubble-fists into Eidolon’s face, chest, stomach. The sky quaked.

Eidolon blocked with his forearms, twisting midair. “Troy, listen...!”

“SHUT UP!”

Troy’s aura exploded. Thousands of microscopic bubbles shimmered around him like dust motes, each carrying crushing force.

He flung them forward. “You’re a monster!”

Eidolon twisted, dodging the swarm. Some clipped him, sending sparks off his skin.
