48 Arena

"Did Buster Get him?" Alex said as he looked at the smoke, waiting for the dust and smoke to clear. After a few seconds, The smoke started to clear up, In front of Alex, Buster stood looking around in surprise. He looked at Alex and exclaimed, "Did you see anyone run out of the smoke?!"

Alex looked confused as well, he shook his head, "I didn't see anyone leave the area…" He looked around hoping to catch the figure. However, Alex suddenly heard a familiar female voice echo in his ears.

[Combat Initiated]

Alex's eyes opened wide, He didn't have time to think. Alex jumped away from where he stood as soon as he saw the prompt. He looked towards where he stood to see a Knife pass by it. Alex took a deep breath, "That could have struck my neck and killed me at once!" He was alert now. The Intruder no longer fought only Buster, He was looking to kill Alex as well.

Buster looked at Alex in shock, 'I Didn't have time to properly react to that, how did he know that the knife was coming towards him?' But Buster quickly shook his head, "I can't be distracted now, Action first, Questions later!" He exclaimed as he ran quickly towards Alex.

"Hehehe, You said that the serum was useless but now, You can't even properly catch me. Am I too fast for you?!" The voice mockingly said. Alex tried to pinpoint where the voice came from but it sounded like the voice was everywhere. "What's happening?" Alex looked around, he was cautious as another knife could fly towards him.

Buster stood next to Alex and yelled to the sky, "You lack courage, use serums, that are illegal all over the world just to enhance your powers and attack us from the shadows… I see nothing but a weakling who wants to fight with its predator! Come, If you have such confidence in your serum, then why don't we battle head to head?!"

Buster seemed to be trying to get the intruder out of the shadows. He was baiting the intruder! But after a few seconds of silence, Buster shook his head. He then thought of a new plan.

Buster looked towards Alex and said, "Stay still, I'm elevating the area around the field to make a thick wall, which should be able to resist his explosives. I don't think he is far away so If I elevate the area around the field, He'll be stuck in a small arena-like area. That's when we will get him. I have a plan..."

Buster quickly smashed the ground. As he did, A thick wall of dirt and grass formed around the field where they stood. Everything went silent after the walls were created. Buster looked at Alex and said, "I don't think he has good defenses so you could possibly take him down if you stay hidden. I'll cause a ruckus for him so he will have to put his focus on me. You will go around the area and discombobulate him. No killing, just make him unconscious. This is the best way to take out this guy as if I'm too direct, he could use his explosives again, creating an escape route for himself."

Alex nodded when he heard Buster, He was ready. However, a doubt entered his mind, He looked towards Buster who seemed to already understand what Alex was thinking. "Don't worry, The ground is my weapon. Just watch." Buster jumped into the air and smashed down, this time with his legs.

The ground started to rumble even more and slowly walls started to emerge all over the arena. The walls created a small maze-like area. Buster pointed towards a path and said, "Just follow that, It goes around the arena. I'll be creating more elevations so he can't hide in one spot for long."

Alex nodded and ran towards the path he was pointed to. Buster smiled and jumped once more, this time looking around closely. "There you are!" He exclaimed while mid-air. The figure laughed once more, "This is pitiful. Making a wall so I can't escape."

Buster laughed as well, "Why don't you and I have a personal one on one battle. Or are you still going to hide?!" He quickly jumped towards the place where he saw the intruder. The Intruder was surprised by Buster's action. He quickly started to throw knives towards Buster who was mid-air. 'Fuck!' Buster felt like an idiot. He couldn't dodge the knives and catching or deflecting all of them was close to impossible. All buster could do was catch as many as he could and bear the pain of the rest.

"ARGH!" Buster was struck by many knives but he protected his vitals. He landed on the spot where the intruder last stood only to see that the intruder had run off to another area. "That idiot really ran left, this will be easier than I thought. It was good that I told Alex to go to the left path, It will lead him straight to the intruder. I just need to make some more noise so that the intruder could only focus on me and leave his back exposed."

At this time, Alex ignores the huge rumbles he felt and continued on the path. He held his dagger and was ready to strike at any time.

*Swoosh!*

Alex saw a figure in all black run and hide behind a wall, there was blood on the floor below him. Alex slowed down and watched the intruder, 'He was hurt… And by the looks of it, He won't last long, He is bleeding nonstop and will pass out soon. But Why hasn't he just run away from here? Why is he still trying to battle us?' Alex had questions, He didn't understand why the intruder didn't make any attempt to run away by blowing up the wall. But he didn't question it anymore, He had a job to do.

Alex quickly activated might and ran towards the intruder. *Swoosh!* He quickly threw the Dagger towards the intruder's legs.

The intruder noticed the dagger flying towards him but he didn't move, he couldn't move. He had lost too much blood and now getting up was also something he was unable to do. "ARGH!" The dagger struck the intruder's knee. He screamed in pain.
