Mind Cleared

Rx-23 channeled turquoise aura around his short sword, sprinting towards Alexios. Alexios engulfed a great amount of air into his stomach. He opened his mouth and a giant fireball erupted from his mouth. Rx-23 dodged the fireball slicing Alexios on his face. Alexios grew mad, grabbing Rx-23 by the neck choking him using half of his full strength. Rx-23 coughed up blood in Alexio's face. Alexios drove Rx-23 into the ground causing a crater to form. Rx-23 quickly recovered jumping back ten feet away from Alexios. He wiped the blood away from his mouth throwing it on the ground. "You can take a lot of pain. " "You have experienced death more than once haven't you?" Rx-23 bit his hand circling life energy around the wound. The sandy beach began to rumble. Alexios fired a fireball from his fingertips at Rx-23. The fireball went straight through Rx-23's artificial heart. The force of the fireball made Rx-23 lift off his feet smashing on the ground like a bag of cement. Blood flew out of his mouth like a running faucet. Alexios sprinted towards Rx-23 grabbing him by his neck punching him at least fifty times. Pieces of Rx-23's teeth were inside of Alexios first. Alexios pulled the pieces of teeth out of his fist tossing him to the side. He then kicked Rx-23 in the ribs making him fly through a tree that busted into smithereens. Rx-23 quickly recovered spitting blood out of his mouth. A piece of wood was now inside his chest. He pulled the giant piece of wood out of his chest tossing it to the ground. He shoved his hand inside of his chest pulling out his artificial heart which now malfunction. He pulled out two red cables putting them in a knot placing it back inside of his chest. Alexios engulfed more air firing out five giant fireballs at Rx-23. Rx-23 was engulfed by all the five fireballs. A great explosion occurred causing a mushroom cloud to form that release toxic poison vapors.

Alexios started grinning. Suddenly a blur jumped out of the smoke fog landing on the ground. It was Rx-23 who was missing an arm. Blood and a sticky transparent substance leaked out from where his arm use to reside. Rx-23 gritted his teeth tightly causing his muscles and veins to enlarge. Suddenly a sticky transparent substance substitute arm was formed. The sticky transparent arm then turned to Rx-23's nonregular skin tone. "Fascinating." "Cruz did that to you?" Rx-23 punched the ground causing a shockwave to occur. Alexios jumped in the air firing five fireballs at Rx-23. Rx-23 dodged the five balls stretching his arm which wrapped around Alexios body. He tried to crush every bone on his body but the enhanced Kermantine stood in his way. Alexios formed a fire sword in his hand slicing off Rx-23's arm causing blood to splatter everywhere. "This ends now you fucking weapon." Fire Element Five, " "Fire Shuriken!!" Suddenly a giant Shuriken made from fire was formed in Alexios hand. He threw it at Rx-23. Rx-23 grabbed the fire Shuriken which could potentially destroy him and the island of St. Paradise. Rx-23's hands we're being friends if they were being placed in a deep fryer. Rx-23 was able to redirect the Fire Shuriken back at Alexios but it cost him his life. He was sliced in half from The Fire Shuriken that just grazed the lower half of his body. Blood splattered everywhere. The Fire Shuriken engulfed Alexios body causing an explosion causing a shockwave to occur. RX-23 looked in the air and a single index finger that belonged to Alexios dropped down from the sky landing on Rx-23's chest. Rx-23 began crawling. Suddenly Cruz appeared behind him he opened his hands and hundreds of needles grabbed Alexios lower half of his body stitching it back his torso. Rx-23 stood on his feet breathing heavily Cruz looked in the air and instantly knew that Alexios was still alive.

Alexio's Location, off the coast of St. Paradise... On the seafloor...

Alexios was now missing an index finger. Blood was all over his face. He got off the seafloor coughing up chunks of blood. He didn't care about being underwater. He could hold his breath for eleven years if he wanted to. Alexios bits of blood caused an octopus-like creature to come. Alexios jumped out of the water levitating. He could see St. Paradise in the distance. He could hear the engine of an airship behind him. When he turned he saw an airship. It was Cross, Sarah, Jesse, Orion, Lucia, Akashiri, and Naomi. They head to St. Paradise. Alexios quickly camouflaged himself hiding his spiritual aura. As the airship pasted him he began to smile. He would let them tenderize his prey. When his prey/target was tenderized enough he would swoop in killing both of them including the ones in the airship.

Cruz's Palace...

Repairs were being made to Cruz's Palace. To the side of him laid Rx-23 who was holding his head tightly twitching. The healing process of his torso being connected to the top layer of his body was still commencing. Tendons and organs we're being connected and healed back together. The hole in his chest was not sewn up this time. It more as if it fused shut. The scar was hard as Kermantine. Even though Rx-23 was brainwashed he still had little emotions. Flash's of the past and future ringed in his head. He had many organ transplants but his brain was never removed from his skull. Rx-23 sat on the stairs of the entrance for Cruz's palace holding his head hearing the cries of the people he killed for the Council Of Fate in the past. Many of these people were innocent bystanders, including women, children, babies, and old people who never deserved to die. All these people beg for their lives before he killed them with the Demon's Blade. Suddenly the ringing in his head disappeared. He stood on his feet looking out by the beach. He saw an airship land on the beach. He clutched his hand into a fist squeezing it tightly.
