Deadly Battle

"Shit! He managed to injure Adrian!" Lear looked at Cody in shock. He waved his hand to form a powerful wave of turbulent water rusb towards Cody's deformed body. The out of control maniac tried to punch his way out of the eave, but the water was extremely chaotic and kept pulling him into a vortex, causing him to drown.

Cran rushed towards Adrian and checked his pulse. It was extremely weak. His abdomen had been completely shattered and there was a large hole where his stomach should have been present. "He's alive. Give me healing potion!" Cran yelled quickly.

Janice threw a bottle of healing potion and supplemented it with vibrations, pushing it exactly into Cran's palm, who quickly used the attached injector to push it through Adrian's veins. "Not enough!"

"Damn it. Here!" Janice reacted immediately, as mechanical air vibrations sent six more healing potions towards Cran.

Wheeler, who had been smashed to the side, got up without a single scar on his body. Seeing Adrian's terrible state, he roared out in anger and began rushing towards Cody who was stuck in the chaotic wave of water, smashing into him with his right shoulder as the water tactically disappeared in Lear's hands.

Cody was hit by a terrifying body lariat, causing his internal organs to displace and he was smashed onto a road, Wheeler on top of him, leaving behind a trail of severe damage on the asphalt. Wheeler didn't seem to stop at all as terrifying punches smashed into Cody's body bullets, causing terrible physical deformations.

Cody cried out in pain and grit his teeth. His muscular frame bulging even more and his body deforming more and more as if he was about to burst out from the inside. Wheeler couldn't care less. His failure to protect Adrian earlier put him into a rampage and he constantly continued to slam into Cody.

Cran injected all the healing potions. "It's not enough. He's lost too much blood and half of his organs are missing! His pulse is weakening!" He yelled.

Meanwhile, the terrifying transformation of Cody under Wheeler's constant fury, caused his right arm to suddenly transform. Shiny blue scales began to appear on his right arm, which uniformly bulked to look about twice the size of Wheeler's own gigantic arm.

As Wheeler continued to smash another punch, Cody's scaly arm grabbed Wheeler's neck, smashing him onto the road beside himself. Coughing out some bloody phlegm, Cody struggled to get up, his entire body beating from Wheeler's assault, yet he was smiling even more.

The monstrous right hand attached to Cody's body smashed a punch into Wheeler's face. A loud boom echoed out and the street they were on began to crack tremendously. Cody grabbed up the unconscious Wheeler by the face and flung him to the side like a rag doll.

"Wheeler!" Trix screamed when she saw that his face, had cracked. Wheeler's impenetrable diamond skin had cracked under Cody's punch! Trix looked furious as her eyes twinkled.

Cody, who was appreciating his good work on Wheeler's face suddenly felt a dark world contain him. He was surrounded by ugly monsters nibbling at his paralyzed body, burning him, corroding his body and causing incredible pain. He was completely paralyzed as black scarab beetles began slowly chewing his eyes out and eating his organs from the inside.

In reality, Cody was stuck in place, stunned into a powerful mental illusion created by Trix, whose anger had broken through the boundaries.

Lear used his ability to create a prison of water spikes so that even if Cody awoke from the illusion he would be trapped in place. Janice, who had been looking at the battle coldly, suddenly let out tremendous pulses of vibration forces from her punches into the air, directly penetrating Cody's trapped body, causing massive complementary internal damage.

Cody's deformed body parts began to burst apart from his skin, causing severe and extensive bleeding everywhere, because of the treachorousness of the massively resonating vibration force which A lot of Cody's muscles atrophied.

However, Janice's eyes turned to slits when she saw that the scaly mutated arm on Cody suffered almost know damage. Moments later, however, Cody began to scream in a heart wrenching manner, the effects of the terrifying illusion taking control. Lear used his control of water to pull Wheeler away from Cody's body.

"Ie Wheeler alright?" Trix asked as her eyes were focused on Cody, to maintain the illusion.

Lear nodded. "He is fine, but the diamond hard skin in his face has shattered." He turned to look towards Adrian to see that Cran had disappeared.

"Where's Cran? Is Adrian alive? His injury looks deadly." Lear asked.

"He rushed up to Adrian's apartment to see if he could find any Healing Potions to sustain his pulse.: Janice replied, as she walked over and took Adrian's pulse.

"His pulse is getting weaker by the minute, and his body is burning up. The Healing Potion is only barely sustaining him." She said seriously. "Where is the security department? I can't believe they still aren't out to protect Adrian?"

"The principal's guess was probably accurate. The Security Department has found a bigger fish to catch and abandoned Adrian's security." Lear said as he turned to look towards Cody. "But there is something seriously wrong with this guy, he doesn't seem to be human any more. I get the feeling that I'm looking at a monstrous beast hidden within a human body"

"You might not be far off from reality." Janice said. "There's something seriously wrong with that scaly arm. Not only did it destroy Wheeler's diamond like skin, it is impervious to my vibratory powers."

Lear looked at Trix, whose face was covered with sweat and tension covered in her eyes. "What's going on? Trix are you okay?"

Trix grit her teeth as a gust of wind circled around her like a vortex, increasing the strength of her mental illusion. "There's something wrong with him. He may be going into a rampage. It is getting harder for me to control him."

"Holy Shit." Janice groaned in dismay. "He is really turning into a monster!"

Cody's scaly transformation was increasing from arm to chest, towards his legs and upwards towards his neck. His back began to grow fish bone like protrusions out of his spine and his skin turned into scaly leather that was azure blue.
