Chapter 43: Ironheart

As Isaiah turns around, Akari is still lying there unconscious. But who Isaiah sees is a completely different person. Isaiah sees a Mulatto (Mixed) girl with long black box braids.

Isaiah approaches her and unbinds her chains, lifting her up with his telekinesis. He moves a hair from her face and says.

"Don't worry, Alana, I'm here for you. I won't let them hurt you anymore." Isaiah says, trying to put on a brave face.

"I'm starting to believe that the rumors about Psychics are true. All of you do have a screw loose." Ironheart says, Coming out of the cave wall, he was pushed through.

Now that Isaiah got a better look at the man, he was definitely intimidating to look at. His whole body was covered in metal, and only his pants remained after Isaiah blasted the top half of his body.

Ironheart was 6'7 and 375 pounds of pure muscle. Putting even the Rock to shame.

Although Isaiah normally would feel intimidated for some reason, he didn't feel fear at all. Instead, Isaiah smirked at his opponent, witnessing his stature.

"You actually have a useful ability. Nothing I haven't seen before. Have you ever heard the term, the bigger they are." Isaiah says to the man.

Ironheart chuckles and starts stretching.

"Believe me, kid, you have never seen anything like me before," Ironheart says as he rushes Isaiah.

Isaiah quickly levitates Alana (Akari) out of the way and creates a green construct bubble to protect himself.

Ironheart's fist connects with the bubble and shatters it like glass. He follows up his next punch with an uppercut to Isaiah's chin sending him flying towards the ceiling.

"He's fast, no, he's really fast. Who is this guy lighting McQueen? It looks like he disappeared from his initial position." Isaiah says as he coughs up blood.

While in the air, Isaiah loses consciousness; he only wakes up once his body hits the cave floor.

"Ahh, Cough* Cough*" Looking back at his opponent, he sees a smile on his face.

As Ironheart gets closer, he starts to crack his Knuckles. As he pops them, it sounds like a blacksmith striking a hammer against iron.

"I'm kinda glad you showed up. I needed to stretch my legs a bit. Ain't nothing a better workout than beating a snot-nose little brat." Ironheart says, walking towards Isaiah.

Fear starts to overwhelm Isaiah.

"This guy is a monster; I should have waited for backup. But maybe I'm just freaking out; he can't be that much stronger than me, right? Isaiah thought using his inspect skill.

After looking at Ironhearts power level, he wished he had looked. But, unfortunately, his opponent was at Variant rank with the Infinite Void.

"S***, S*** I should have waited for backup. I don't even know if I'll be able to hold this guy off for the time being. Who can even defeat this guy with such a power level." Isaiah thought about getting up, holding his jaw.

"Xavier! Duh, I have to contact him. He'll whip the floor with his guy." Isaiah says, looking for the mind link app on his Webwatch.

"Guys, I found Alana; I mean Akari."

"Who is Alana Isaiah thought. Once Isaiah tries to remember, he starts to get a headache again.

"Ok, good, hurry back. We just finished with those to other guys," Carly replied over the link.

"It doesn't look like the boss of this operation was with her. I'm currently facing him now. He's strong, to say the least. However, I'm not his opponent; Xavier would be best to defeat this guy." Isaiah replied in the link.

"Oh, so you finally realize my true power. I see, young one." Xavier replies.

"Shut up and get here. From the looks of it, his rank is Variant. I'll try to distract him for now, Isaiah says, cutting the mind link.

As Ironheart gets closer to Isaiah, Isaiah sends a telekinetic wave in his direction, pushing him back. But, unfortunately, Ironheart doesn't go as far as Isaiah thought he would.

"Man, you're a pretty strong telekinetic for your age, and you even have a second ability. It's too bad you met someone like me."

"You're not the first telekinetic I've fought. When I transform, I don't just turn my skin into metal like most people but my entire skeleton and organs. Making my body 8x more than its initial mass. Right now, I'm a little over a ton." Iron says heart says he blitzes Isaiah again.

Ironheart aims his fist at Isaiah's face, ready to take his head off. But, as he approaches, a large spring made out of green psychics energy slows him down.

The spring gets enough tension, and Isaiah uses his telekinetic energy to push Ironheart away, sending him flying deeper into the cave. Ironhearts body skips on the floor like a rock skipping on water.

"He can manipulate psychic energy into whatever object he can imagine? This boy is dangerous. The only psychic powerful enough to have that ability is Prof.Greenwood. Could this be his kid? . . . No way he is living energy, how would that even work?" Ironheart thought.

Ironhearts slowly gets up, grumbling.

"Congratulations, kid, you're officially the most annoying opponent that I've faced so far. Luckily for you, I'll give you a quick death." Ironhearts says as getting ready to rush Isaiah again.

"Really, how thoughtful of you," Isaiah says, rolling his eyes, pulling out his javelin from his inventory.

"Time to switch classes from a Caster to a DPS. This is probably a stupid decision, given I can't crack his armor. But I already used too much psychic energy making those constructs. All I have to do is hold him off." So Isaiah thought, getting ready to throw his javelin.

Before Isaiah was getting ready to throw it, a blur passed by him, and a slash appeared in front of Ironheart. Ironhearts covered his vitals from the incoming attack.

Ironhearts arms were glowing bright with heat slash marks from the attack.

"Man, this guy's metal skin is tough; even my sword couldn't slash through it. Plus, this guy was fast enough to block my surprise attack." Kat said, turning to Isaiah.

"Good Job holding this guy off. He seems like the real deal. Don't worry though, backup has arrived, rookie. Kat said with a cute smile.
