Wrong Target! (2)

The Leader nodded and then pointed at Visuveus, before bringing the hand he pointed with to his neck. He then signaled that Visuveus' death was near, and this was taken as the signal to attack by his underlings, as the previously mentioned Speed powered goons all darted towards him. Visuveus, as if to make matters worse, slid his right hand into the other pocket, and waited for his attackers to reach him. They quickly split and went in different directions, before suddenly changing direction and all converging towards Visuveus from different angles. The one that reached Visuveus first entered striking range launched a very straight forward attack, throwing a one-two combination. Visuveus avoided the punches by twisting both his neck and his torso – a move that allowed him to evade the punches by the closest of margins. Seemingly encouraged by how close the attacks were to hitting, the Speed goon continued to throw punches, yet Visuveus continued to avoid them by a whisker. A moment or two later, a second Speed goon entered the fray and started attacking as well, which caused Visuveus to increase the speed of his evasive maneuvers. As the third and fourth Speed goons entered the mix and started throwing punches and kicks as well, it became painfully evident that Visuveus wasn't dodging by the skin of his teeth – he was just evading with absolutely no wasted movement. This meant he was able to dodge efficiently, and more often – which was precisely what was going on. Four men and women, with Speed enhancing Powers were all attacking this one man simultaneously, and were ALL missing him. He was leaning and swaying in all directions, taking half-steps, ducking, lifting a foot to avoid low kicks, leaping over sweeps, everything with the smallest, yet impressively effective movements. Everything was happening at such speed, that small shockwaves pulsed out from almost every evaded blow. The immediate surroundings felt the brunt of this, with nearby garbage bins being tossed and slammed into walls violently.

On the sidelines, the Leader and his final subordinate were standing and watching on in stunned silence. Flames danced not only around the both of them, but also on them as they had activated their Flame Powers and were charging them together with the intention of burning Visuveus to a crisp at the same time. They had only just started to charge their Flames when they saw just how badly they were being outclassed by this one guy, who looked like a down-on-his-luck office worker.

"What the fuck is this?" The other goon said as he looked at the Leader.

He got no response as his Boss' eyes baulked all of a sudden, and he looked at his subordinate.

"Charge those flames as much as you can!" He roared before following his own instruction.

As the two men did that, the flames not only became brighter, but also more intense. They illuminated the clearing that much more, which was either a good thing or a bad thing depending on their perspective as they were now clearly able to see what was about to happen next. As if spurred on by the change in lighting, Visuveus, who had been on the defensive the entire time, suddenly pulled his hands out from his pockets and this suddenly went on the counter attack. As the goon to his front-left attempted to throw a hook to the body, Visuveus twisted said body to the left and slapped the fist away with his left hand, before delivering a short uppercut to the exposed chin of the goon. The moment he completed his attack, he was already swaying backwards while twisting his head and neck to the left and evaded a punch that came in from behind. He grabbed the wrist of the punch that flew past his face with his left hand and pulled it forward, before driving his elbow into the midriff of the one that threw the punch. As the goon doubled up, Visuveus then crashed his fist into the same goon's chin, throwing their head up towards the sky. He then turned his attention back to the first goon, stepped in closer and twisted his torso before digging a ridiculous number of left hooks to the body. Visuveus looked to his right and suddenly raised his guard before dashing in the direction of the goon that was attacking him. She threw a flurry of one-twos, and Visuveus ducked under each one, dipping his torso and swaying from left to right as he did. He then closed the minimal distance between them instantly and launched his own attack, throwing what initially looked to be a hook at the goon's face. He instead bent his arm completely and struck her square on the temple with his elbow twice, and only after the second elbow strike did he hit her on the chin with his fist. Without even looking back, Visuveus then drove his left foot into the stomach of the final goon, which doubled him up completely. As he pulled his foot back and as it touched the ground, Visuveus began to spin and pushed off of and swept his right foot along the ground to generate momentum before leaping into the air. His left foot swept through the air first to generate the speed required before the right was raised and extended, producing a spin kick that caught absolutely everybody. Visuveus landed on the ground and even spun a little as he came to a halt with his clenched fists down by his sides. It felt as though time stood still for the briefest of moments, before all four goons suddenly flew off of their feet, spinning and contorting through the air as they rag-dolled in different directions around Visuveus. Blood, sweat, tears and stomach contents all sprayed from every orifice the goons had, the sounds that their bodies made as they hit the concrete below was just as sickening as it was when the other goons hit the floor. Fluids leaked copiously onto the ground from faces, and Visuveus stood with his gaze fixed on the ground before he looked up and faced the remaining two gang members.

"…holy shit." The Leader remarked, before shaking his head and quickly regaining his composure. "Alright… uh… Didi, on my mark, we both let loose and hit him with everything we've got, alright?"

"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" Was the only thing Gigi boomed as he wailed in absolute terror.

He pointed both hands at Visuveus, and no sooner had he done that, were flames shooting towards the ex-con with alarming speed and ferocity. Gigi's eyes were about as open as they'd ever been, and his face was contorted by the fear that was running through his body, so he was just firing off his flames and hoping they'd hid. Visuveus wasn't standing on ceremony and waiting to be turned into a piece of burnt toast, so he was already on the move. He darted to his right and ran in a semi-circular motion as the flames followed him and crashed against the wall behind him like waves on the shore. Gigi was yelling the entire time, and Visuveus cranked up the speed, disappearing from Gigi's sight for a second. This caused him to panic and start looking around for Visuveus – an act which caused his flames erratically change direction and hit everything. He blinked and suddenly saw Visuveus running directly towards him, prompting him to change the direction of the flames again. Visuveus then disappeared again, and reappeared, looking as though he was now running to his left. Gigi then aimed in that direction, however after blinking again, he found that Visuveus was now not only right in front of him, but was rapidly approaching striking range. Before the Flame Powered thug could do anything other than wail louder and raise his arms to try and block the incoming attack, Visuveus leapt forward and drove his right foot into Gigi's abdomen. As this happened, he spun while bending his left leg at the knee; almost cocking it, before driving it into the thug's sternum after completing half a revolution. The resulting crack was about as loud and unnatural sounding as it gets, however Visuveus wasn't done as he swung his now bent and cocked right leg around as he completed the full revolution, extending it and smashing his right foot into Gigi's jaw, resulting in yet another brutal sounding crack. The triple kick was vicious and merciless, and Gigi spun and twisted in the air much like his fellows before him, before crashing on the ground, his body contorting and twisting for a second or two before coming to a halt. Visuveus himself landed on the ground with the deftest of landings, spinning on the spot and completing a few more revolutions, before placing his right foot on the ground as well. His suit and jacket fluttered to a gentle halt before he looked at the gang Leader, who was now the only one in any shape to do anything.
