Episode 9 : Battle

Zawaq's appearance changed completely like Lavi, but Zawaq had various shades of green. Other soldiers watching them both in ready positions to continue fighting.Lavi and Zawaq rushed towards each other. Zawaq threw a right punch, so did Lavi.

They punched each other's faces. Lavi spun and then knelt on the ground. Zawaq stepped back five steps.Zawaq dashed forward and kicked the kneeling Lavi. Lavi flew twenty-five meters backward. Zawaq kept attacking Lavi.

Lavi quickly got up to block Zawaq's powerful kick as he leaped towards him with his crossed arms. Zawaq landed back on the ground. Lavi released his two hands then pushed Zawaq hard before Zawaq started attacking again.

Zawaq stepped back three steps.Lavi launched a left punch. Zawaq easily dodged it. A right punch followed, Lavi kept punching while Zawaq kept dodging relentlessly. Zawaq pushed both of Lavi's hands aside.

A sweeping punch from below landed on Lavi's chin. Lavi flew into the air and fell back onto the ground. Israeli soldiers shot Zawaq from behind. Bullets fell onto the sand in a chaotic manner.

Zawaq looked towards the Israeli soldiers. They fell silent, not reloading their empty gun magazines. Lavi kicked Zawaq downward. Zawaq rolled about twenty meters. Zawaq got up from lying down.

Lavi soared through the air and dived to kick Zawaq. Zawaq dodged. The sandy ground cracked, creating a five-meter-deep trench. Zawaq didn't waste time. Zawaq retaliated with a kick.

An explosion occurred, creating a crater on the right wall of the five-meter hole created by Lavi. The crater was thirty meters deep.

Lavi spat blood from his face mask. His blood sprayed onto Zawaq's legs and front body. Zawaq released his right leg from Lavi's grip. Lavi fell flat on the ground.

"Get lost, I don't want to see your face!" Zawaq directed.

Zawaq jumped out of the deep hole. Calmly, Zawaq walked away, leaving Lavi alone, lying in a thirty-five-meter-deep hole, untouched by other Israeli soldiers.

Lavi got up from lying down then climbed out of the deep hole by digging his fingers into the sand. Climbing out of the hole like a spider. Lavi emerged from the hole and saw Zawaq walking away from him.

Zawaq's body transformed back into human form as he walked calmly. Lavi coughed, spitting out blood onto the sandy ground.

"Zawaq! I'm not done yet!" Lavi shouted at Zawaq.

"Lavi... Don't get up." Zawaq pleaded as he turned away.

"Don't expect to walk away without betraying the country!" Lavi yelled.

"I'm no longer an Israeli citizen." Zawaq said.

Lavi dashed towards Zawaq. Lavi crossed fifty meters in a split second. Lavi punched Zawaq. Zawaq's abdomen received Lavi's heavy punch. Blood spurted from Zawaq's mouth. Zawaq flew and fell ten meters away from Lavi.

Zawaq coughed up blood onto the ground. His left leg pressed against the earth. Zawaq stood up again from kneeling on the ground.

"Stop, Lavi." Zawaq said.

"I'm just doing my duty. I'll kill you!" Lavi insisted.

"I'm a doctor. I shouldn't take lives anymore, even enemies' lives!" Zawaq said more firmly.

"You created me! You gave me the power to kill our enemies! Don't be hypocritical about not taking lives!!!" Lavi angrily exclaimed.

"I don't want to do this, Lavi. I don't want to kill you!" Zawaq replied.

Zawaq blocked a powerful sweeping punch. Zawaq floated in the air for a moment due to the strong impact of Lavi's attack, extraordinary human strength. Zawaq landed back on the ground fifteen meters away from Lavi.

"It's no use. I can't change!" Zawaq looked at his two hands that remained green, not changing back from bright to green.

Lavi continued to attack Zawaq in his non-human form. Lavi delivered a series of punches. All were blocked and dodged by Zawaq.

"It's useless. My arms feel like they're about to break!" Zawaq monologued.

Lavi's powerful right hand punch landed on Zawaq's face. Zawaq spun in the air then fell onto the sandy ground. Lavi stepped on Zawaq to avoid him. The sandy ground shook violently as if dozens of elephants were stomping the ground out of rage.

Quickly, Zawaq rolled and stood back on his own feet. Zawaq lunged forward twenty meters after being kicked by Lavi's right foot scythe.Zawaq fell to the ground.

Zawaq's left rib felt broken. Lavi jumped high into the air about 30 meters then glided in the air before kicking Zawaq with his right foot.

"Argh!!!!!" Zawaq screamed in pain as soon as his two arms took and received heavy kicks from Lavi.

"Die!!!!" Lavi shouted.

Zawaq rolled backward for fifty meters. His body rolled along the fifty-meter distance. Zawaq got up again, readying himself with his fists clenched.

Lavi dashed fifty meters in a moment. This time Zawaq dodged Lavi's fast punch. Bang! A powerful punch landed on Lavi's abdomen. Zawaq punched Lavi with all his strength. Lavi stepped back several paces. Lavi spat out a lot of blood from under his face mask.

"Stop, Lavi." Zawaq pleaded.

"Zawaq!!!" Lavi shouted.

As fast as lightning, Lavi's powerful right punch landed on Zawaq's left face. Zawaq's punch was faster than Lavi's. A right hand punch was launched from below. Punching under Lavi's chin. Lavi was launched into the air. Before his two feet touched the ground.

Zawaq pulled his right hand then launched it like a guided rocket. Bang! His punch hit Lavi's abdomen. Lavi fell to the ground. Lavi coughed and vomited a lot of blood. Lavi tried to get up again but failed.

"Lavi, stop." Zawaq said.Lavi lay down and looked at the sky. As if his soul faded from his two eye sockets. Zawaq knelt at the foot of Lavi.

"Lavi..." Zawaq mourned the loss of Lavi.

Lavi was one of the sick soldiers under his previous care. Now dead in his own hands. Treated to be killed by Zawaq.

"There he is!" said one of the Israeli soldiers.

An Israeli soldier pointed a finger at Zawaq. Five Israeli soldiers had just arrived to see Zawaq mourning Lavi's body.

"That..." said one of the new Israeli soldiers in all-black uniforms.

"Zawaq. Dr. Zawaq." said one of the five Israeli soldiers.

"We need him alive or we'll kill him if he's too dangerous." said one of them.

"Don't waste my time!" Zawaq shouted as he wiped Lavi's face. Closing Lavi's eyes and mouth.

"Back to Israel." said one of the Israeli soldiers.

"Never. Not ever." Zawaq replied.

"Push your luck." replied one of them.

"You guys don't want to fight me." Zawaq said, standing up from kneeling beside Lavi's body.

"Who do you think you are?" asked an Israeli soldier standing in the middle of the four others.

"I am the destroyer." said Zawaq.

"You're not the only one involved in the super soldier project!" said one Israeli soldier.

"Watch the apocalypse. Israel's clever formula evolution ends the lives of traitors." they said.

"Scatter! Now!" Zawaq commanded them.

"You're nobody." said one Israeli soldier stepping forward.

"It's useless." said Zawaq.

That Israeli soldier's eyes changed from white to black. His skin turned dark gray. A red diamond light shone dazzlingly even in the midday sun.

The five of them walked towards Zawaq with their glowing waists. Zawaq clenched his fists. Pain in his arms still felt. Zawaq looked at his two hands. Redness and blueness. There's a little blackish color.

"It seems like my hands are broken inside the bones." Zawaq said to himself.

The five Israeli soldiers transformed. They looked similar to how Lavi turned into black entities. Sweat and blood flowed down their cheeks from their chins to the ground.

"Why can't I transform?" Zawaq looked at his body in surprise.

"Zawaq, evolution doesn't favor traitors." said one of the Israeli soldiers.
