Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 268 - Close range
...***...
"You won't be able to dodge anymore." Joe grinned triumphantly, he walked over to Elvina.
"It won't be that easy" he murmured softly. His head that was originally bowed now looked up at Joe.
Elvina woke up from her position. Both of his hands were tightly clenched.
Joe put a smile on his face. "You can still wake up."
"You won't be able to beat me that easily."
"Why not. You've even lost a lot of your energy."
"You think so?" Elvina grinned. He blinked until his iris changed, in one eye movement. Joe's body immediately bounced away towards the edge of the lake.
Bruk!
Joe grimaced with the pain as his body hit the hard surface of the ground cemented there.
A... What was that? Why does he have such power? Joe jolted. He rounded his eyes.
Joe tried to get up. He was holding onto his body which was really painful.

Rei lands on a playground visited by Elvina and Leon. Luckily he was able to leave quickly using his flying ability.
"Sister Leon!" William ran towards the man who fell motionless there. Rei followed him.
"Where's El? I don't see him anywhere." William circulated his gaze, the place was already chaotic. But William could find no whereabouts of his brother anywhere.
"El.." William looked at his brother who was standing with his hands clenched with Joe who was down there. "Let's help her!" William had just woken up but Rei first held back his steps.
"What's important now is that we get Leon out of here and put him in a safe place. You take care of Leon and let me help Elvina, it would be too dangerous if we went to help her together."
"alright. Then I'm counting on you." William agreed. Rei simply nodded in response, he then moved towards the direction Elvina was in.
William crouched down and immediately grabbed onto Leon's completely motionless body.
"It turns out your body is heavy too. I hope it's muscle and not fat" murmured William who now woke Leon's body with all his might. After succeeding, he immediately led Leon to a safer place.
With the power of his rapid movements, he could easily arrive at a safe place. There, William immediately helped clean his dirty clothes.
"He would be very confused if he came to his senses and suddenly saw his clothes as dirty as this." William cleaned Leon's clothes.

No matter where you get that kind of power from, what matters now is that I have to take it back to the professor. Joe got up from his place, he ran towards Elvina. Attacking him from close range.
Joe jumped up, kicked Elvina with his foot. The woman dodged it easily. This was his first time attacking from this close range, normally he only relied on his strength without ever having to attack within this close range.
But this time, his ambition to win forced him to go a different way. He focused all his energy on each of his attacks. Each of his fists, kicks, and jurors were accompanied by his electrical abilities.
Bugh!
Joe raised his fist again, and this time Elvina repelled his attack with ease. Somehow the woman looked so nimble from their previous fight.
Elvina attacked Joe.
