Standing in the nest, Jason and Jade's suit then formed on them.
Up, the roof of the cave opened up and immediately, Azath took to the skies and said to Jason.
"See you later, slow poke!"
"Oh I see."
Jason scoffed as Jade carried him and they flew out of the nest.
"Let me go now. I gotta teach that kid a lesson."
On air Jade let go of Jason, who then flipped on air while Jade boosted away.
Jason's mask then covered his head while he came down and as his feet touched the ground—
WHOOOOSSSSHHHHH!!!
Running at a great speed, he headed to Ibadan.
Ibadan
Shadow arrived and saw Gale engaging the beast on air.
"Hey, how did you get here before me?"
Apex landed and got shocked seeing Shadow here already.
"It's a mystery and I'll never tell."
"Oh come on, spill the beans."
Apex placing his hands on Shadow's shoulders
"Now's not the time for bromance boys. We've got a beast to contain."
Sentinel said as she flew across them heading for the beast.
Shadow and Apex then followed.
But Apex thought—
["How did such a thing get here? Someone either created it or summoned it"]
Gale blasted the eagle like a beast with wind pushing it back while Sentinel flew in and blasted it with plasma from her palms burning it.
"We got this!"
Apex flew up to meet the beast, and with great force he punched it down to the ground.
"My turn."
Shadow racing towards the beast, then ran on a building and leaped towards the beast, hands on the grips of his swords.
Then—
SLICEE!
Shadow landing on the ground, sliding before taking a stop as the head of the beast fell off it's neck and it shattered to dust.
Suddenly, the sky became dark and cloudy.
A red eye forming on the sky before it shot out four red beams to various directions.
"Now that is definitely my sister."
"Boys, I suggest we follow a beam."
"Understood."
They all followed a beam each to its location.
***
Apex arriving at the crash site of the beam he followed.
"Aaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!"
Apex groaned because over his Comms came the screams of the others.
"Oh no, it was a trap."
A portal opened up before him and Asuna walked out of it.
"Where are they?!"
"Hmm, I so love the suit kiddo."
Walking up to him as both locked eyes.
"Answer me, where are they and what did you do?"
Asuna then turned around facing the portal as she began walking to it.
"Come with me if you want to see them."
Apex did as she said and both walked into the portal.
"What in the name of!"
Apex exclaimed seeing they came out Una large amphitheatre filled with unknown spectators.
"Defeat Gray and I'll consider not killing your friends."
Asuna then flew up into the air and immediately ahead from a gateway, a large green skinned, bald muscular guy walked out.
He was about 8 feet tall in height, wearing just a leather shorts and he held a large double headed axe.
"I suppose you are Gray yeah?"
Apex in distress but trying to compose himself.
GROWL!
"I am Apex by the way."
"Knowing the name of my prey serves no purpose."
The deep distorted voice made Apex stagger a bit.
"Oh you speak. Then there's nothing to be afraid of, let's begin."
Gray then ran towards Apex who took a running stance, hand on the grip of his katana.
Running, Apex moved towards Gray too.
Gray swung his axe but Apex leaped over it, flipped to his back and drew out his katana slicing Gray on the back.
Gray turned all of a sudden and slapped Apex away as he flew and smashed a wall.
"Okay that hurt."
Groaning, Apex saw Gray above him about to smash him with his axe.
"Oh shit!"
Apex moved out of the way. Gray threw his axe as Apex who then leant backwards as the axe passed over him.
As he stood straight, Gray kicked him away.
Gray getting hold of his axe jumped and landed on Apex.
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Screaming in pain, Gray's leg was on the chest of Apex compressing and crushing him.
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!"
Apex holding his foot, using all the strength he could muster up from the animal kingdom began lifting the foot off his chest.
Immediately he got a chance, Apex flew away from under Gray's foot.
Flipping on air, Apex zoomed towards Gray and punched him in the face making him stagger before slicing him on the chest.
But Gray held Apex crushing him between his palm.
He threw Apex up into the air and pound him down to the ground using his axe as it sliced him badly.
And as Apex bounced, Gray kicked him away.
But Apex landed on him feet. With great speed he ran towards Gray.
Gray began striking at Apex with his axe, but this time Apex was dodging every hit, and then he sliced Gray's right leg making him topple.
BING!
With a great force and strength Apex gave Gray a devastating uppercut making him rise up into the air.
BANG!
Lifting up above him, Apex used strength again and landing a great punch on the chest of Gray making him cough out blood and crashing unto the ground.
Apex landed and sheathed his sword and trying to catch his breath while he backed Gray who laid still on the ground.
The entire amphitheatre in silence as they watched what just happened.
But—
"You mere human, did you could kill me that easily?"
Gray spoke out with a dark voice as he rose up on his feet spitting out blood.
ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
There was a massive release of energy from him which pushed Apex off his feet as he turned around.
Gray then dashed towards Apex faster than before as the ground quaked and trembled as he moved.
Striking at Apex with his axe who dived away.
BOOM!
The ground and in a wide range compressed and destroyed as Gray's axe collided with it.
Apex flew to him aiming to slice him but Gray slapped him away.
Suddenly, Gray wound up behind him and pound him down to the ground making Apex cough out blood as he brought down his nose mask.
["Come on Azath, don't let this bastard kill you, he doesn't have the right to."]
Gray aiming to split Apex on the ground into the two, but then this happened.
Azath caught and held the head of the axe, mustering up every strength he possessed and hardening his skin
Gray pressing harder and Apex resisting. Apex's palms were getting sliced slowly even though they were hardened.
Immediately, Apex pushed the axe and Gray back, grabbed his katana and slashed the axe pushing Gray back all the more.
Apex then got on his feet, Gray moving again with his axe coming to take out Apex with great force and rage.
"Raaaaaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!"
Apex gave out and immediately he moved, striking with his blade, he shattered and destroyed Gray's axe.
"N-n-no, impossible, this is not possible."
Gray staggering back not believing what just happened, the audience giving our a great gasp.
"I am the impossible."
Apex then rubbed the blade of his katana and with great speed he ran.
"Arrrggghhh!!"
Slicing of Gray's legs.
"Arrrggghhh!!!"
Taking out his arms as blood gushed out like water.
WHOOSH!
Ending it all, Apex sliced off Gray's head before stopping motion and standing upright, sheathing back his katana.
"Noooo!! That fool Gray, dying to you kiddo."
Asuna then showed herself as she descended a bit closer to Apex.
"It's over Asuna."
"You are wrong, it's over when I say it's over… Kill him"
She took to the skies as immediately every single person in the amphitheatre drew out weapons and the great multitude charged towards Apex.
"Ah shit!"
