68 The Wrath of Gods

He then thought about what he would be doing, was that something that he would be proud of? Was it worth the effort to murder someone like Reggie Hakuna?

Ryu gave it some thought and knew what was the right thing to do and it was to leave it as it was and to allow life to decide when he dies.

He quickly got rid of the Electrical zap that was to kill him and let fate choose if he dies and as it came early, Reggie had been murdered by ....

"Heath?" he was surprised as he saw his best friend until he had seen that he looked a bit different to the Heath that he had known.

As he saw Ryu, he grabbed him and got him out before anyone could find them, "Hey you okay kid? What on earth were you doing there?

Were you planning to kill that bastard as well? Oh Where are my manner? I forgot to ask your name. My names Takumi Takahashi.

And if you may or may not know, I am the firestorm, The Big Man, The Super Hot Fighter, even with this big hand".

As he showed Ryu his big arm, he was shocked. As he was aware of this, he asked him. "Wait have you been like involved with the Aurora?"

He then stopped and threw him to the ground as he heard those words come out. "How'd you know about it? It's meant to be a secret".

He then explained that he was a bearer of the Aurora due to him getting powers of electricity. As he made sense of it, he wondered why he was here.

"My friends brother sent me here because he thought I needed some extra help and he was kind of right, I guess".

Ryu and Heath had something in common that I believe Heath may have but it wasn't what Ryu want, it was what Ryu needed, Ryu saw Takumi as a worthy foe.

While he saw Heath as a worthy friend, a friend that was more important to him since forever.

Takumi wanted to test Ryu on where he was and to that he had agreed, but before that, Ryu decided to make his body prepare for the intense fight that he may have.

As Ryu had pumped his blood alongside his powers, he was ready to face Takumi but Takumi wanted to play safe and be somewhere that was Abandoned.

Takumi took Ryu to an island that was familiar to him, it was the same island that Heath had made his dramatic change, as Ryu and Takumi were ready.

They fought, at first, both Takumi and Ryu took an offense position first before going into an intense battle but with the exhaustion on both on them.

They decided to spice things up and go beyond their limited state, as Takumi burned every last amount of blood in his body.

He suddenly was covered in lava as he was changing but the lava around remained visible. Ryu took it upon himself to go to his ultimate form.

But this time, Ryu couldn't control it as he was having problems with controlling it and as it did so, it gave Takumi the winning blow to defeat him.

He then went to check on Ryu to see if he was okay. "I don't understand, why in the world did this ever happen? It didn't happen before so why now?"

Takumi then helped him up and gave him a piece of advice. "Maybe you rely on it too much, so only use it when necessary.
