Aron Fears vs. Neal Swatski Final

Aron breathes heavy—

Chest rising. Falling. Rising.

Steam rising from his body.

Neal pushes himself up—

Face down, blood dripping from his nose and mouth.

He drags himself to his feet.

Stands.

Blood covering his face like a mask.

Aron smirks.

"I'd gave you a nice look," he said.

Neal scoffs.

No words.

Just rage.

Then—

KRRRRRRRRRRRSHHH!!!

GLASS ERUPTS.

From the ground.

SHIIIIING!!!

Huge blades pierce upward, splitting the earth—

The entire floor turns into a field of death.

Each blade—long, sharp, towering—

Cuts the air.

Aron moves.

Side to side.

Speed insane.

Whoosh—whoosh—CRACK—

He evades—

One blade catches him—

CHHHHK!

Right through his chest—angled—

Flesh torn open.

"GHK—!"

He doesn't stop—

Slams his hands down on the blade—

"SSSSSSHHHHHHH—!"

Flames pour out—burning the glass—

CRACK!

SHATTER!!!

The blade explodes.

Aron steps out of the fire.

Black flames rising.

Then—

BOOM!

He moves—

Front leg slams—then disappears.

Speed—hypersonic.

He reappears in front of Neal—

Devil Flames gone.

CRACK!!!

Hook.

Straight.

Uppercut.

One—two—three—four—five—six—

Every hit—flesh parts.

Flames erupt.

Then—

360 CRESCENT KICK!!!

WHHHAAAMMMM!!!

Neal goes flying—

Ground shatters from the impact as he skids—

Stops—plants his feet.

But—

BOOOOM!!!

Aron's already there—

Diving in from above—

Neal shifts—

Evades—

Then—

THUDDD!!!

Downward elbow—right to the throat—

Aron chokes.

Breath hitched.

But he strikes harder—

FIST TO GUT—

ARON FLAMES ERUPT through his arms—

BARRAGES.

BAM. BAM. BAM.

KNEE—

ELBOW—

SPINNING KICK—

ALL LAND.

All burning.

Neal grits—grabs Aron's wrist—

"SHINGGG!!!"

Glass spreads across his arms—

"CRACK—"

"BOOOOM!!!"

Elbow down—breaks Aron's arm.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!"

Aron SCREAMS—

Neal moves—

BODY JAB—

OVERHAND RIGHT—

HOOK TO THE BODY—

Each strike—air recoils—

Wind explodes.

Aron stumbles—

Breathing wild.

Then—focus.

He forces flames into his broken arm—

Swirling. Growing. Expanding.

A new arm—black flame.

It doesn't heal.

It mutates.

Deadlier.

He lifts it—blocks—

Then—

Slide.

Foot outside Neal's—

Shift to the side—

BOOM!!!

HOOK TO THE BODY—

With insane force—

Flames ERUPT.

His skin melting—

But he pushes harder.

Neal's stomach—

BURNS.

Melts.

Flames part the flesh—

Until the inside is exposed—

Blood dripping.

Organs visible.

Neal steps back.

Breathing ragged.

Creates distance.

"Takes more to kill me." Neal said—

Grabbing his stomach, hand covered in blood.

He doesn't heal—he covers it.

GLASS.

Hard, sharp, dense.

Crystalline armor over the wound.

Aron watches, breathing heavy—

Blood steaming off his body.

"You strong... most people I fought die too quick."

Aron grins.

"I respect that."

Neal scoffs.

Voice calm, cold.

"You know... respecting your enemy—"

"—it's not wise."

Suddenly—Neal's body changes.

Glass crawling.

Up his legs—across his chest—arms—face.

SHINING.

BRIGHT—

BRIGHTER—

BLINDING—

GLASS EFFECT.

Aron's grin widens.

"Heh."

Then—

BOOOOOSHHHH!!!

FLESH FLAMES.

Aron pushes further.

HOTTER—

HOTTER—

EVEN HOTTER—

SKIN—

MELTS.

All of it.

Now just flesh.

Burning.

Black flames dancing over raw muscle.

Sizzling. Popping.

Neal eyes him—

"Bet that form hurts."

"It does... but anything to win."

Aron floats—

Flames lifting him off the ground.

"You're the first guy who's giving me a real fight..."

"I'm not gonna waste it."

Then—

BOOOOOOOM!!!

He blasts forward—

Speed: Hypersonic.

Flames trail behind, ripping through air.

Neal builds a massive glass barrier—

Too late.

CRRRSHHHH!!!

He's sent FLYING—

Body hurling through sky—

Off the ground.

Mid-air—

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!!!

Fists slam into Neal's jaw—face—temple—

Neal's hand morphs—

GLASS DRILL.

Spins—

SLAMS into Aron's neck.

KRRRK!

Aron grabs his arm—

Tries to push it—

But Neal resists.

Glass grows.

Everywhere.

They trade shots—IN THE SKY—

Clouds split.

Air roars.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!

Then—

Aron PULLS BACK—

Flames ignite—hotter—

Hotter—

WAAAAAH!!!

He SLAMS into Neal—grabs his glass-covered collar—

SLAM!

Into a building.

SLAM!!

Into another.

BOOM!!!

Another—another—

Each one collapses.

Glass rains.

Windows shatter.

Flames burn.

Speed deafening.

Mid-air—

Aron hooks him in the jaw—CRACK—

Another.

CRACK.

Kick to the gut—BOOM!

Neal crashes down—

Hits the ground like a meteor.

Cracks spread.

All directions.

Neal RISES—

Directs all the glass form into his arm.

It GROWS—

Massive.

Right arm—pure destruction.

Then—

BOOM!!!

Fist crashes into Aron's body—

Full power.

CRACK—CRACK—CRACK!!!

Bones snap—everywhere.

Shockwave tears through him—

He's launched like a missile—

Flying at insane speed—

Windows shatter—

Buildings crumble—

Dust clouds everywhere.

Then—

CRASH!!!

Aron SLAMS into a gasoline truck—

Silence.

Then—

An idea.

Neal sees the damage—smirks.

Charges.

MAX SPEED—

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—

23 STRAIGHT PUNCHES—

CRACK—CRACK—CRACK—CRACK—

BLOOD EVERYWHERE.

Front kick—CHIN—

Hook—RIBS—

Flesh caves in—bones showing.

Neal's glass form breaks his own organs—

Too much power—he needs to finish it.

But—

Aron tilts his head—

Shifts.

Disappears.

Behind him.

GRAB—

SLAM!!!

Right into the truck.

Gasoline.

Heats up—

MORE—

MORE—

NOT ENOUGH—

Then—

ARON FLAME ARM—EXPANDS—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

TRUCK EXPLODES—

Aron's arm EXPLODES—

INSANE.

Shockwave DEVOURS EVERYTHING.

City BLOCKS incinerated.

Black flames everywhere.

Buildings gone.

Ground: Cracked. Broken. Collapsing.

Neal and Aron—

FLYING—

Both sent flying MILES—

Everything—DESTROYED.

Smoke.

Ash.

Nothing left of the city.

Both fighters—down.

Bodies wrecked.

Forms fading.

Neal breathes—shallow.

Blood running down his lip.

One hand presses against shattered concrete.

He rises.

Aron—bones exposed.

Still standing.

Flesh barely hanging—but alive.

"That was... powerful." Neal mutters, his voice low but steady.

Aron chuckles, blood dripping from his chin.

"Thanks. And you… you're super strong. If I had to say—"

"—you gave me the most trouble. Hands down."

Neal lets out a light exhale.

Not quite a laugh… but close.

"I think… I learned something from you."

Aron smirks, "And what's that?"

"...That I should enjoy this. The excitement. The brutality."

Neal's mouth curves—a smile.

"So you'll die... in a respectful way, of course."

Aron laughs—even while bleeding out.

"That's what I'm talking about."

Both stance up—

No flames, only Aron flaming arm. No glass. No powers.

Only fists.

Silence.

Then—

BOOM!!!

Aron STRIKES FIRST—

JAB!

CRACK!

Right to Neal's nose—blood explodes.

Then—

CROSS—BOOM!

His whole body twists into it—face snaps sideways.

UPPERCUT—BOOM!!!

Neal's head flies back—jaw jacked—blood spurts.

LOW KICK—THWACK!!!

Shin to calf—CRACK!!

Bone SNAPS.

Blood spraying out.

Neal doesn't scream—he clenches his teeth.

Eyes locked.

He SLIPS—

Rear uppercut—BOOM!!!

Aron's chin splits—blood splatters.

Flesh cracked.

HOOK—BOOM!

To the ribs.

Fist enters.

Crunch.

Fingers inside him.

Neal SLAMS DOWN—

Smashing organs.

Glass—

Grows. Inside.

Shatter—KRRRRRRSSHH!!

Organs rupture—

But Neal's own insides tear from the strain.

"Nghhh—no…!" Aron grunts, weak.

Then—SNAP!!

Aron pulls back and—

SHOVES HIS HAND DOWN NEAL'S THROAT!!!

DEEP.

Neal GAGS—

Choking—panicking—pulling—

But—

Black flames light up.

Arm MELTS—

Skin GONE.

Bones only.

BOOOOOOOOSH!!

Flames surge inside Neal—organs cooking.

He twitches.

But—

Neal's mind races.

GLASS BARRIER—INSIDE HIS BODY.

Protecting what's left.

Still—heat rises.

Organs steam—melt—cook.

Neal—SCREAMS—

"AAARRGHHH!!!"

But his hand shoots up—GRABS Aron's wrist.

CLENCH.

Glass spreads.

Covers Aron's arm.

Then—

SHATTER—BOOM!!!

Aron's whole arm explodes.

Chunks fly.

BLOOD.

He roars—

AghhhhhHHHH!!

But—

Black flame surges.

ANOTHER ARM.

Two arms—pure fire.

Flames SWIRLING—burning.

Neal charges.

Faster. First strike—

Aron SLIPS—

SHOULDER ROLL—

SPINNING BACKFIST—BOOM!!!

Neal's jaw SNAPS—

HEAD JERKS.

Then—

STRAIGHT PUNCH.

CRACK!

Forehead caves slightly—

BACK OF HIS HEAD—SLAMS—

DOWN—

INTO THE GROUND—

BOOM!!!

Dust explodes up around them—

Fists trembling—bodies twitching—

Aron ROARS—

Climbs on top of Neal—

SLAM!

SLAM!

SLAM!!!

Fist to face—

Each blow CRACKS skull, bone snapping under the weight.

Neal, eyes flickering, clenches his teeth—GLASS FORMS over his face.

Thick. Unbreakable.

Aron doesn't stop.

His hand—bent backwards—BONE EXPOSED.

FLESH SPLIT.

Pointy jagged bone—

He doesn't flinch.

He THRUSTS it forward—

BOOM!!

Glass SHATTERS—skull denting in.

BLOOD—SPRAYS.

SMASH—SMASH—

Neal's head jerks, blood painting the concrete.

But—

Neal's eyes burn.

He GRABS Aron's sides—

BOTH HANDS.

SUDDENLY—

KRSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

GLASS ERUPTS—THOUSANDS OF BLADES—

From his palms—piercing through Aron's torso.

EVERYWHERE.

Flesh shreds. Bones SNAP.

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Aron screams—body spasming—

He tries to raise a flame—a weak black aura—

But it dies.

His body... giving out.

He collapses.

Neal rises. Slowly.

Each step—echoing.

Blood dripping from his face, broken glass still lodged in his skin.

"I'm actually grateful..."

Voice low.

Calm.

Not mocking.

"...You showed me a lot. You're strong."

He gets closer—

Eyes sharp.

"But I realized… strength isn't everything."

"It's the enjoyment of winning."

He stops—

Looks down.

"Winning... makes everything worth it."

He raises his fist.

BOOM!!!

Straight into Aron's chest.

Bone shatters—flesh splits—blood COUGHS OUT.

Neal DIGS.

Hand deep—

Fingers curl—

Tears something out—

A HEART.

Still beating.

THUMP... THUMP... THUMP...

Blood shoots out like a fountain—

Aron gurgles—choking.

Eyes fading.

His body begins to tremble—

Death....lifeless body.

Then—

Particles.

Dissolving.

Fading.

His heart in Neal's palm—

Gone.

The arena—silent.

Then—

WHOOM!!!

A portal opens behind him—to his multiverse, to prepare for his next fight.

Neal turns—no words.

Walks forward.

Each step—leaving behind a trail of blood.

And then—

He vanishes.
