One is free, the other is angry

" What is this? Your castle's backyard? It's pretty big here, lots of room to fight "

Shu said as he stretched his arms out, letting out a loud sigh in the process

" How are you still alive? "

The man questioned as he walked out of the fog of dirt his landing caused, rubbing his left palm with his thumb as he walked

" How I lived? I don't know, I just did. Anyway, that doesn't matter "

Shu replied before raising his right arm, blocking a kick from Vladimir who found himself right in front of the boy

" You're right, it doesn't "

Vladimir added as Shu's arm became limp

" Wha- "

The boy didn't have time to question what happened to his arm, because the moment he lost his focus he was punished with a barrage of punches, all aimed toward his chest, abdomen and ribs.

Vladimir would punch the boy in specific places, repeating that same action two seconds later, which was the amount of time that it took for him to finalize each combo string.

Each punch landed would make the boy's body shake, so much so that he had to take steps back, which made the man walk forward in contrast, endlessly punching the boy's naked torso, which now began to ache, turning red.

" Alright enough "

Shu yelled, stretching his arms out as great amount of Sanctuary Energy splashed out of his body like a strong wind from a tornado.

Standing in front of Vladimir was now a very irritated Shu, his hair floating due to the pressure his energy was releasing, whilst his blue eyes shined, indicating his usage of Sanctuary Energy.

Soon his legs would be coated in a neon blue, before he disappeared, reappearing in the air, spinning around, nothing could be seeing of him, all that one, with normal percentage could see, was energy spinning around in a circular motion.

" Second Form: Down to Pluto!!! "

Shu yelled, confusing the man, what was Shu trying to do? This questioning soon led to regret, because the moment he let his guard down, the boy landed a kick on the man's right shoulder, which caused a huge shockwave, sinking the man in the ground

" That felt good, it felt good to land a bit on you, and by the looks of it, it really hurt "

Shu pointed out, seeing as the man spit out a bottle worth of blood from his mouth

" Yeah it did "

Vladimir replied, as he appeared behind Shu, swinging his leg toward the boy's back landing a kick of his own, which sent Shu flying meters away.

The man covered his entire body in a purple and menacing aura, before flying through the air, in chase of the boy, who he then kicked toward the ground, making him bounce right off of it, just to be slammed back down with a bunch, each of those attacks creating shockwaves which made the snow that was falling from the sky, disperse.

" How did you grow so strong? Strong enough to fight back? When I captured you, I knocked you out in one hit—-was it the drugs I forced into your body? Or is your biology at fault? "

The man questioned, as he landed on the ground with finesse, before pointing his finger at the boy's right leg, shooting out a string of electricity which made that leg go limp, just like his arm

" Well anyway, I'll turn off the nerves that make it possible for your brain to move your limbs, that way I can bring you back to the lab—research your body again, see if I missed anything "

" No thanks! "

Shu replied, with a demonic smile governing over his face, before he disappeared from the ground, appearing beside and above Vladimir, grabbing the man by the side of his head, before hurling him up to the sky, laughing maniacally while he did it.

Just like Vladimir before him, Shu would engulf his body in Sanctuary Energy, flying up to the sky, following behind the man who had just regained his composure, just to receive a hard fist coated in Sanctuary Energy right to his gut, causing him to spit out more blood and saliva.

" I don't know if you relate, but I love battle! "

Shu yelled, to then place his foot on the back of the man's neck

" Taekwondo Style.. "

Shu whispered as he coated his foot in sanctuary energy, whilst the veins on his leg and neck became viable

" Himura Kick.. "

Shu added, frowning as he added yet more strength to his left leg and foot

" Hook of the hunter!! "

The boy ended, yelling as loud as he could whilst spinning his and the man's body around, using his foot like a hook, to then hurl the man against the ground, creating a gigantic crater, but Shu wasn't planning to end it there, not at all, he wouldn't be satisfied until every part of Vladimir's body stopped working.

" Taekwondo Style, Himura Kick.. "

Shu whispered, to then take in a deep breath as he yet again, coated his left foot in a fiery like blue aura

" Bringer of Punishment!!! "

Shu yelled, his veins popping out of his neck, forearms and legs like roots, to then hurl his own body toward the ground, using the same method he used to fly, though in this case, he used it to gain more momentum, bringing his leg up as high as he could, to then slam it against Vladimir's stomach, with all the strength on his left leg.

The impact caused a shockwave which leveled the palace and backyard they were standing on, leaving nothing but a huge crater for the two of them to continue their fight in

" No!! "

Vladimir yelled, pushing Shu off of him, to then jump a hundred feet into the sky, to take a better look at what Shu's Kick had done

" No..Noo, nooo!!!! You ruined my lab!! My research is all gone!! "

The man yelled, his voice sounding irritated and emotional, almost as if he was about to cry, if only this wasn't a battle, he'd be crying on the floor like a baby, but the rage that was boiling up inside of him, was enough to push those other feelings away

" You. Boy "

Vladimir said, as he allowed gravity to pull his body down while Shu simply looked up, waiting for the man to land, which he did, crashing loudly against the ground

" I suggest you prepare your hello speech for whomever it is that's waiting for you in heaven "

The man added, walking toward the boy with his red eyes, engulfed in pure rage.
