Clash of ideals[2]

   "Ugh!" Lee'on let out a low grunt, as his body flew through the air at tremendous speed.

Bam!!

   His back crashed into the wall at the far end of the laboratory, smashing through it with a loud bang.

   The thick metal wall instantly crumbled into pieces, unable to contain the force behind the collision.

   "Damn it." Lee'on mumbled, swiftly jumping back up on his feet. 

   'He's too strong! Even after transforming, I can barely keep up.' He thought, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

    The laboratory they fell down in was completely dark, with the only source of light being the hole in the ceiling, which reflected the light from the upper floor.

   But despite how dark the laboratory was, both he and Alex could still see very clearly, even clearer than they could in the light.

   Lee'on guessed it was another ability they gained from the experiment, so he didn't ponder too much on it.

   "I wonder…" Alex voice suddenly reverberated through the laboratory, jolting him out of his thoughts.

   "Why would a former slave want to preserve the same 'science' that brought so much suffering to the world?" He continued, his eyes glowing bright red in the dark.

   Lee'on's eyes narrowed slightly at Alex's words. He went silent for a few second, before finally speaking up.

   "It's not about preserving what caused suffering. I'm not planning on conducting another crazy experiment you know?" He said, barely holding back the urge to roll his eyes.

   "It's about the knowledge… that's why I want to study it all. The amount of information I… I mean, we could gain could prove helpful at anytime." Lee'on continued, his brows furrowing slightly.

   "Besides, it's not like everything in this giant lab pertains to the experiment." He said, pointing at Alex. "Why don't you understand that?" 

   "Knowledge…" Alex mumbled, musing over Lee'on said for a few seconds.

   However, no matter how he tried to see it, it all just sounded like total bullshit.

   Why would anyone want to know more about such disgusting experiment, especially when it had claimed the lives of many innocents.

   Although Lee'on said it could prove helpful at any time, Alex didn't see any way in which such knowledge would be helpful.

Swoosh!

   "All what you're saying, is bullshit." He said, suddenly dashing towards Lee'on once more.

  In an instant, he closed in on him, sending another punch flying towards his face. 

   'Fuck.' Lee'on's eyes widening slightly in shock, as Alex's fist abruptly filled his vision.

  He swiftly stretched his hand forward, deflecting the punch by pushing Alex's fist down.

   Utilising his momentum, he swiftly leapt upwards, twisting his body in the air before gently landing behind Alex.

   'Now he's open!' He thought, swiping his claws towards Alex's back.

Crack!

   However, Alex suddenly turned at that moment, gripping his wrist tightly with his hand, their eyes briefly locking with each other.

   Lee'on's eyes immediately widened in shock, realising he was now wide open to whatever Alex threw at him.

   "I thought we were similar, but…" Alex muttered, clenching his other hand into a tight fist.

   "You're weak." He said, immediately sending out a powerful punch towards Lee'on's abdomen.

Thwamm!!!

   With nothing left to shield him, Alex's fist slammed into Lee'on's stomach with immense force.

Boom!!

    As his fist connected, a powerful shockwave bursted out of the other end, sending a sharp jolt of pain across Lee'on's torso.

Swoosh!

   His eyes widened in pain, as his body was immediately sent flying through the air.

BAM!!

BAM!!

BAM!!

    His body continuously crashed through the walls, showing no sign of stopping, despite him trying to balance back on his feet.

Boom!!

  "Argh…" He grunted in annoyance as his back slammed into another wall, bursting into another section of the underground laboratory.

   However, his eyes widened in shock as he realised something… there was no ground for him to land on!

   "W-wait… what?!!!" He shouted, as his body suddenly started free-falling through the air.

THUD!!

   After a few seconds of falling through the air, his body finally crashed face flat into the ground with a loud bang, leaving a massive crater on the surface.

   "Ugh… damn you Alex." He muttered, his head lodged deeply into the ground.

   "How annoying…" He mumbled, slowly standing up on his feet, while gently rubbing his abdomen where Alex hit him.

   'That hurt… a lot.' He thought, letting out a low hiss of pain.

  To his surprise, he was still alive, thanks to the insane strength and durability he got after the experiment.

   Even after crashing through all those thick metal walls, and falling head-first into the ground from such a high height, he didn't feel any pain.

   The only pain he still felt was the one from his stomach, where Alex mercilessly punched him.

   Even though he had gotten countless times stronger than before, Alexander was just on a whole nother level. 

   'I'm weak? What bullshit! You're 

 the one who freakishly strong!!' He thought, gently rubbing his forehead. 

   'But ignoring that… where the hell am I?' Lee'on wondered, staring at his surroundings in surprise.

   Just like the room they were in before, this one was also completely dark, but that posed no problem for him, as he could still see very clearly.

    The room was very large, with numerous giant green cylinders lodged tightly in the ground.

   There were strange giant pipes connecting all around the place; some were connected to the giant cylinders, pumping a strange green fluid into them, while the rest ran into the ground.

   "What the hell is this place?" Lee'on muttered, taking a step towards one of the giant cylinders in front of him. 

   Meanwhile, Alex's brows furrowed into a slight frown as he stared at the large hole on the wall Lee'on crashed into. 

Whoosh!

   'Perhaps, did I hit him too hard? Don't tell me he's dead from that single punch.' He thought.

    "Hey!! You dead?!" He suddenly shouted through the hole, his voice echoing all over the lab. 

  "Damn it…" Lee'on mumbled, his brows furrowing into an annoyed frown at the sound of that voice.

   "Like I'd die so easily, and why the hell are you shouting anyway?!" He shouted, raising his head up.

  'Like you didn't just shout also.' Alex thought, sending out a punch towards the wall.

Bam!

   The wall immediately blasted into pieces, the hole made by Lee'on widening even further.

  Alex's eyes narrowed slightly, and unable to hold his curiosity, he looked down the hole.

   However, his eyes widened in surprise at what he saw down there.

   "What the hell are those?" He muttered, his eyes narrowing deeply.
