Gray and Red

" How can a being have such brute strength.. "

Shu thought to himself whilst crashing against the ground, causing dirt, sand and water to violently move around the sea, all which was tainted from all the blood that left Shu's body.

The punch seemed to have injured him, and from his nose blood was dripping out

" It seems I'll have to take this fight seriously.. "

Shu would then take a step forward, cracking his neck to later move his upper to the right, dodging the gray demon, who suddenly launched himself toward Shu in an attempt to kick his face

" Gah.. "

The creature said as it would then slide through the ground, stopping himself with his claws, looking over at Shu like an animal would a human

" Bah.. "

It continued to blabber only to crawl on the ground, running after Shu who would take a step forward, swinging his arm, landing a punch right in the creature's face, slamming it against the ground, causing a burst of water

" Gah! Gah Bah Bah!!! "

The creature yelled, jumping out of the crater Shu had just punched him in, only to then start yelling, spreading its arms around, causing that part of the sea to tremble

" What's up with this thing? "

Shu asked himself as he would then swim up, using his energy to boost himself, grabbing the creature's arm once he got close enough, to then hurl him out of the sea city, sending him flying out into land.

Once there the creature would begin to look around, as if it were looking for something, only for its attention to be swept away when all of a sudden Shu bursted out of the water, landing on a nearby rock seconds later

" Who are you? Why are you attacking the— "

Shu was interrupted by the creature who suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of him, swinging his leg in an attempt to knock Shu's head off, but the man would simply twist his body backwards, dodging the kick only to later sweep his leg on the ground, knocking the creature off of his feet.

In a matter of a second Shu would stand back up, lifting his arm up to then slam his elbow against the creature's chest, making it crash with the rock Shu was standing on, breaking it into pieces as well as sending him flying back down into the sea

" Something's off about that thing "

Shu said to himself as he would then start looking around, trying to find the mermaid queen who he let escape, seeing her crawling out of the sea and onto a nearby island

" Are you alright? "

Shu questioned as he appeared in front of the woman in a blur of speed, looking down at her with a bit of concern, yet still holding that emotionless expression on his face

" Yes I'm okay, but I'll be better once you've taken care of that thing "

The mermaid queen said as she would then point over at the sea, and right when she did, the creature bursted out of the water, to Shu's annoyance

" You're a tough one "

Shu whispered as he would then dash toward the creature, causing a burst of air and sand, only to appear in above the creature, kicking him right in the head whilst also spinning, and once Shu did a complete 360, which only took him half a second, he would grab onto the creature's horn proceeding to punch him it the stomach right after.

This would make the creature scream giving Shu the urge to continue. Now that the creature was at his mercy, Shu took in a deep breath and closed his hands into fists

" Third Form: "

Shu whispered as he would then place both of his fists in front of creature's chest, whilst time around him began to slow down

" A sinner's hell "

Shu added, only to pull his arms back a bit, surrounding both of his fists with sanctuary energy, and all of a sudden start a barrage of punches.

All which were thrown an in instant. The man had landed thousands of punches on each side of the creature's chest, and ten thousand more on its stomach, ending it with a punch straight to its guts, sending it flying back down to the sea before pulling his right arm back, his fists steaming from all the punches he had landed.

Whilst that went on, Ean himself was fighting a creature like the one Shu was confronting.

At the moment Ean was running through the castle, ramming through walls whilst simultaneously clashing his great sword against the fists of a red looking demon with black horns.

Each clash would send the two enemies flying backwards only for them to meet back up with each other, hurling attacks at one another but each of them would simply dodge, and later repeat.

This of course was all happening at the speed of sound, which would eventually bring the entire castle down, and because of that the two would jump out and begin their exchanges outside, destroying the many gardens which were created by Ayami.

The two would then increase their speed, reaching the point where now they were only perceived as blurs, clashing and bouncing off of each other.

" You three stay back "

Ayami said as she would then spread her arms apart, as if to protect her children and also Fu's son, Hiorra

" Mother what's going on? "

Dio questioned only to be ignored, as Ayami would then surrounded everyone around her in a bubble of air and energy

" This should keep us safe from all that's going on outside "

Ayami said to herself as She would then sit down on the ground, rubbing her head a bit, although she was more than capable of fighting that creature which was Ean was facing off against, she couldn't for she had a more important, that job being to protect these three kids which stood behind her.

" Do you think uncle Ean will lose Dio? "

Ayami questioned as she would then turn to look at her brother whom's arms were crossed as he tried to think

" No, I don't think uncle Ean will lose, but just in case he does be prepared to protect yourself, mother won't be able to protect us and fight that thing at the same time, she'll end up dying "

Dio replied, causing the girl to shake a bit, afraid of losing her mother in such a way

" Mother! It's not true is it!?! "

Asami would suddenly yell as she would then jump into Ayami's legs, hugging onto her body to then hide her face in Ayami's stomach

" What's wrong my love? "

Ayami questioned as she would then let her daughter's head, carefully running her hand down across her head

" D-Dio said y-you w-will die…!l

Asami said, subbing and crying whilst trying to explain to her mother what was wrong, only for Ayami to turn and look at her son with a glare once she understood what her daughter meant

" It's fine sweetheart, I won't die, you should believe in me, mommy is strong and powerful, just like daddy "

Ayami whispered, trying to comfort her daughter, which worked, making Ayami sigh a bit only to take in a deep breath

" I can't feel that things energy… so I can't really tell how strong it is.. "

Ayami thought to herself whilst biting down on her lower lip

" Fuck, I think we might have to fight in another war, like the one Romulus caused… "
