Birth
With the appearance of the Tail of the Dragon, Seeker knew he messed up.
The Dragon was too strong. Even though Richie had already reached the level where he could use Voice of Creation, Meng's last stand proved to be too deadly.
No matter how the battle would turn out, one of the two Overcomers would die.
Either Richie would succumb to Meng's powers, or Meng would die from the loss of blood and the wounds he received.
The last attack made by Meng had destroyed Richie and Seeker's suit. And even though the suits had traces of their DNA in it, it couldn't withstand the desolate force that Meng used in his last attack.
Meng's boosters were also damaged in the previous clash.
And so, Richie and Meng fought with nothing but their legs, fist, and their deadly Paths.
As it was, the battle was slower but at the same time far deadlier than before.
