Michael And Edward Vs The Slasher

Edward was faced with the man, he knew shouting would only draw in more innocent lives and for someone that admired heroes. Edward knew he had to make a stand here and even the supervillain was surprised when his trembling stopped as Edward casually got up to his feet and looked the man right in the eyes.

"Hooo! Now this is a surprise," The man blurted out, curious as to what the boy before him had in store for him but what Edward did was run, he was much smaller and thus faster.

Surprisingly, he could get out of the house and see Michael, both boys locked eyes but Edward didn't stop in his tracks to inform Michael about the impending danger.

"Run!" This was all he needed to say and Michael followed right behind him, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the man with the featureless and Michael shuddered because he could tell that this man was not a normal person with a glance.

Edward was drawing him out of the area because he didn't know what this man had in mind but he couldn't be allowed to have his way and possibly draw in innocent bystanders.

Edward made a grave miscalculation, he didn't know the man he was trying to lure away had powers or he just might have chosen survival over this.

"What's going on!?" Michael asked, he had managed to catch up to Edward.

But Edward didn't respond, a look was all Michael needed to see the murderous look in his friend's eyes and he immediately kept quiet.

Whatever it was Edward wanted to do, he was going to help him without reservations, even if it was to kill that man.

"Here!" Edward said, taking a sudden sharp turn, Michael barely made it in time but where was this? This was a construction site that had been abandoned months prior and the fragile structures around made it clear that no one should be within proximity of it.

Both boys came to a halt, breathing hard but The Slasher had caught up to them in no time, it was impressive considering he was walking the whole time.

"You didn't have to bring your friend, I was content with killing you alone but the more the merrier," The villain said as he stopped within fifteen meters of the boys.

"Who is he?" Michael questioned but once again, Edward didn't answer.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this Michael but that man…." Edward blurted out, Michael could see he had been crying because of his puffy cheeks.

"Pardon me, I haven't introduced myself. Superheroes call me The Slasher," The villain introduced himself and both boys tensed up immediately they heard this, they thought he was just a man.

"S-Superheroes?" Michael was the one to ask, he wanted to confirm he heard right.

"That's right, I'm a supervillain that just happened to kill that one's mother," The villain said, pointing at Edward and that was all Michael needed to want to kill him.

He was starstruck for a moment because this was the first supervillain he was meeting but he became someone Michael wanted to destroy because he had hurt his friend.

But before Michael could act, the man's finger pointed at Edward turned into an open palm directed at Michael, and before Michael knew it; he was floating in the air.

And just like his other victims, he took his other hand and began to slowly slice Michael's throat open.

"S-Stop!" Edward barked but this fell on deaf ears as the cut was getting deeper every second he delayed.

"You brought me a toy, you should be grateful I'm accepting your offering," The villain responded but suddenly, the aura around Edward changed and Michael dropped to the ground.

"Huh?" The villain was perplexed by this development, and the smirk that crept up on his face, the boys were lucky it was hidden behind his mask.

"You… You have powers!" The Slasher said but before he could speak further, he noticed the look in Michael's eyes had changed, Michael was looking at him like he was the prey.

"W-What is this!?" Michael said; he stumbled back and forth, and his head was banging.

Edward had a knowing look in his eyes, he knew exactly what was going on with his friend.

"This is an interesting find but do you think you can nullify my powers?" The villain asked, and he dialed up his powers a notch and Edward's nose immediately started bleeding.

"M-Michael, I need you to listen to your hunger! I need you to act on it right now!" Edward shouted at Michael but Michael was overwhelmed. Edward knew he couldn't hold on any longer but luckily, the advantage of this terrain soon came into play.

The collision of energy forced a metal pipe from the fifth floor to come crashing down at where the villain stood and the pressure Edward felt suddenly eased up.

"D-Did that get him?" Edward muttered but his attention immediately turned to Michael.

"Edward, who the fuck are you?" Michael asked, the person he was looking at was unfamiliar.

"Michael, I have something to tell you," Edward said but before he could explain himself, the metal pipe that he thought finished off the villain was blown off the man and into the air.

"Now, you runts have pissed me off," The villain said and the metal pipes in the area suddenly rose, and Edward found out he couldn't nullify his powers anymore.

Edward had the power to negate the abilities of others and that is what he has been doing to Michael for years because of the nature of Michael's power.

The pipes were launched at such a speed, it tore through the air at such atrocious speed.

"I'm sorry Michael," Edward apologized and the metal pipes clashed aggressively, destroying the very earth they stood on. If it made contact with them, death was all but certain.

"I see, so another one appears," The villain said, turning around only to see Damon with both Michael and Edward tucked beneath his arms.

"I arrived in time," Damon said, dropping both boys onto the ground before focusing his attention on the supervillain.

"This is for Boy Of Steel," Damon said, his tone indifferent as his enemy was pleased with how the events were unfolding and a battle of a grander scale was about to commence.
