Ares: Never Grow Up
Lose out?

..."I'm The City, Professor Ron's research object."...

POV: Ares

The City's? Oh. .. one of Ron's creations of madness. They always make me nervous. I stared towards the chast in my right hand, it was almost fully filled. I can't fight him anymore, I better run away first.

I woke up staggered. I think my head is still spinning around here and there. The impact of the punch is not kidding, huh?

I tried to fly, instead of flying up, I flew to the side until I hit the wall of a broken house.

BRUAGHS!

"Ack! My head still hurts!" I muttered as I continued to stand up. Fainting here and dying, or running away with pain? Of course I chose to run away with pain.

Lately Ron has not intervened directly, even his minions who overwhelmed us. Shit, it's still daytime! I can't use my powers more than this, I might get infested again.

"What ... did you .. escape?" The giant voice was heard clearly and loudly. I just kept quiet to hear the question, even though I could hear it clearly, but my vision did not support me.

Now I'm sure that there's a nerve in my brain that's damaged. My eyes did not improve. My vision has been spinning ever since.

"With the rest of this chast, is it enough to make that 'thing?" I muttered to myself. I immediately went into the crack of the building and sat down limp. I closed my eyes slowly, trying to win.

THE DUAR!

But it could not, the giant instead attacked blindly. He threw the rubble in all directions. Not infrequently there are stones that also almost hit me.

"I ... really stuck huh?"

I wish .. This was just a dream.

POV: Author

"HAHAHAHA! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE KILLED BY YOUR OWN PARTNER?!" Draw yells at Vani who fell from the 50th floor. Ken is completely under the control of Draw.

From the top of the building, Draw sees Vani fall without a fight. At first Draw enjoyed the scene, until his eyes met Vani's eyes.

At that second, Draw felt something called 'fear'. The horror of Vani's red eyes as if to say 'I won't let this happen, just wait'.

BUAGHS!

CRAT!

Vani lay helplessly with his head covered in blood. He closed his eyes peacefully, as if no one was able to wake him from a deep sleep.

"... Cih, just scare me. You are nothing!" annoyed Draw while looking down at Vani's body. After being satisfied to see the woman's body, Draw walked over to jump towards the frightened Ken.

"Ken dear~," call Draw with a smile. Ken who felt his name being called, immediately turned his head quickly. His lips were still shivering in fear, his entire body was still trembling and full of sweat.

"Va-Vani! I'm scared!" ken hugged Draw. While returning Ken's embrace, Draw whispered something to him.

"Good job, you've done it cool." That's what Draw said. After Draw said that, the tremors in Ken's body stopped, no more shivering sounds came from Ken's lips.

It was Draw who saw Ken's reaction, so thought that he had already managed to completely brainwash Ken.

"Yes, thank you," Ken replied in a flat tone.

CRUST!

"ARGHA!" Draw shouted as he felt his broken spine. He tries to let go of Ken's embrace, but the man doesn't let go. Yes, Ken used his powers to break Draw's back.

"YAAA! STOPIT! IT'S SO SICK!" Draw screamed in pain, he thrashed to his right and left, trying to let go of Ken's embrace. Draw stared at Ken's face, that second ... Draw saw the same thing when he saw Vani earlier.

Determined to kill.

The dark circles in his eyes that looked creepy, his pupils that shrunk to a sinister point. His jaw hardened withstanding the turbulent anger. Ken is very angry now.

"You .. I don't know what you're using. You used hallucination techniques on me, making me feel like a lunatic for a week. Then it made me see that Vani was a bad guy, and see you as Vani. And you ... made me kill him with my own hands!

NO MERCY TO YOU DAMN IT!" ken shouted with hatred in each of his words.

A BLAR!

Ken let out his green aura to a terrifying stage. He enveloped his body and Draw with that blazing green aura. Draw who could not escape from Ken's embrace, could only agape in agony. The pain inflicted by Ken's power wasn't playful.

Broken bones, broken nerves, ruptured organs, brain cells. Now Draw is nothing more than a man without a body. He is more worthy of being called a man's porridge.

"Haaah .. haaah .. sorry ... Vani," said Ken with a gasping breath. He let go of his embrace with Draw, then dropped the body that was neither alive nor dead.

"Vani ... Vani ... Vani ..." Ken crawled slowly, he headed to the edge of the building to see Vani's body. Every step of hers felt extremely heavy, that feeling of guilt was weighing more and more on her shoulders. Even so, he did not give up and continued to crawl. Until he got to the edge of the building.

Deg ... Deg ... Deg ...

Tests.

Ken's tears immediately dripped when he saw Vani's body lying on the asphalt. His soul was so shaken that he could not control the nerves in his body. His eyes opened and kept shedding tears, he forgot how to breathe with his nose so he opened his mouth.

Oxygen like it can't get into Ken's lungs, he's at his worst right now.

And there's no one next to him.

His breathing was trying to find oxygen. He forgot his drowsiness and hunger and only remembered his sadness. For Ken, Vani is the main one. For Ken, Vani was more than a friend.

He is his family. Ken loves Vani like his brother. He valued it more than even his life. Given the fact that Ken himself killed Vani. Makes the child's soul shaken violently.

Until he was unaware of the danger threatening him from behind.

GREB!

"YOU FUCKING KID! YOU THINK THIS DOESN'T HURT?! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME?!" Draw healed back. He immediately strangled Ken's neck and lifted him up high and hung him on the edge of the building.

His eyes were furious, he still clearly remembered how torturing Ken's strength was.

"I don't want to kill you fast, I want to torture you slowly, so don't die just yet?" said Draw while removing a fairly long brush. Ken's out of breath, so just focus on Draw's hand. Until he can see Draw's brush.

JDERS!

"Your strength .. Yours, is a painting ... RIGHT?" ask Ken with all his strength. Draw, who was surprised to hear Ken's words, just laughed and stuck the tip of the brush into Ken's stomach.

JREB!

"Then? What if you knew? You're done today" said Draw coldly. Blood kept dripping from Ken's stomach, his wound wide open.

They did not realize that the entire city of Oner.

..."You ... dare to hurt ... Ken?" ...

TBC.

Don't forget the likes, guys!
