Chapter 12 - Chapter 9: Stalling

With newly grown limbs, Dylan chases after Ginji and proceeds to punch him. Ginji blocks the punch and hit's Dylan with an electrified palm strike. Dylan doesn't stop at all because of this attack and delivers a headbutt to Ginji. This staggers Ginji only for a moment before he use an electric bolt to pierce a hole through Dylan's chest. Ginji then kicks Dylan away into a building. Dylan get's up from that attack and grabs the bolt of electricity from out of his body. He throws it back towards Ginji's direction. Ginji disperses the electric bolt but doesn't realize that it was just a distraction so that Dylan could ambush him. Dylan kicks his Ginji's legs, causing him to lose balance an fall. Before he fully falls to the ground, Dylan uses his knee to hit Ginji in the skull. This sends Ginji up into the air. Dylan then jumps up and hits an uppercut, which he then proceeds to grab Ginji's leg just before it escapes his reach and decides to throw him back into the ground. Ginji barely has any time to catch himeself before Dylan who was falling from the sky, delivers a axe kick into his cranium. Dylan then backs away, he believes that series of attacks would knock Ginji out. He was incorrect though, Ginji stands back up and starts to surround his body with electricity. "Dang it" Dylan says this as he prepares himself for a next round of blows. 

Jefferson is running back as quickly as he can before he get's stopped by a familiar face. "Jefferson, i want to redeem myself" It was Ian, he has recovered from his previous injuries from when he first fought against Ginji. "Follow me and we'll talk while we move" Jefferson didn't wait for a response and starts to run again. Ian follows closely behind Jefferson. 

Caleb is rapidly closing in on the location from where he heard the explosion, and Rudius is right behind him. "I needed something like this to quench my boredom" Caleb says this while running. "Shouldn't we wait on reinforcements, what if this person is too strong for you to handle Caleb" Rudius says this with evident concern in his voice. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger am I right" Caleb says this nonchalantly, he increases his speed. 

Dylan is currently blocking multiple attacks from Ginji. "Why is he learning while he fights, he was never like this before" Dylan says this as he loses a next arm. He has already lost fifty pounds from this altercation alone. He knows that if this rate of decrease keeps up, he will die soon. He decides to gamble. While Ginji is about to punch him again, Dylan grabs Ginji by his head and slams him into the ground, this causes a large crater to be made. He then starts to punch him rapidly, diggin both of them deeper into the land. He then charges up one last attack and hits him with it, causing a loud 'boom' sound to be heard throughout the surrounding area. "please tell me I incapacitated him now" Dylan really hopes he doesn't have to fight anymore. His hopes were crushed though because Ginji slowly gets up with a bloody head. He uses his water ability to heal himself and then coats himself in electricity again. This time he decides to also make electric blades. Dylan just sighs and jumps out of the hole but he sees that Ginji is right behind him. He quickly turns around and blocks but both of his arms are cut off. Dylan has been sparingly using his Jagan energy because he knew using it all quickly would make him lose this battle. He has ran out of tricks to use though, so all he can count on is his martial prowess. He is about to block one more attack but then someone blocks it for him. "Take a break, I'll buy us more time, since that's what you were obviously doing" Caleb says this with a smirk on his face. He then proceeds to punch Ginji, before he dashes towards him and lands a flying kick. Ginji lands and stops his backwards momentum. "Jefferson should be here in five more minutes, guess I'll play with you until he arrives" Caleb says this before taunting Ginji to attack again. Ginji is adapting to his evolved abilities as time goes on. He sends an electric wave towards Caleb. Caleb knocks the wave away and punches Ginji again. "We have to knock him out or stall until Jefferson arrives, He gets stronger the longer he fights" Dylan stands up and is ready to help out Caleb. "No I really couldn't tell that, it's not like I didn't just attack him" Caleb says this sarcastically but is secretly appreciating the help. Caleb activates his Jagan energy, it is golden in color. Caleb rushes towards Ginji to deliver a punch. Ginji evades it but then he feels a punch to his jaw. This blow was from Dylan who proceeds to throw Ginji behind him. Caleb was behind Dylan and punches Ginji in his face, he then throws a kick to Ginji's side. That kick sent Ginji backs towards Dylan who decides to give him a roundhouse kick. Ginji blocks this kick though and then he grabs Dylan's leg. He sends an electric current through Dylan's body and this makes Dylan scream out in pain. Caleb kicks Ginji away from Dylan. He then proceeds to help Dylan back up to his feet. "I didn't want to use it but I guess I have no choice, this was supposed to stay hidden damn it" Suddenly time for Dylan and Ginji freezes and Caleb is unaffected. He walks up to Ginji and stabs a hole through his chest, he then walks back to the place he last was. Time was only frozen for ten seconds. Rudius finally arrives, he is out of breath but he sees that the enemy has been dealt with. "What, happened" Dyaln is confused, just a moment ago Ginji was still alive but now he is dead. "I'm as lost as you Dylan" Caleb says this while lying through his teeth. Suddenly Jefferson and Ian also arrives at the scene. "Wait, he's dead, just like that?" Ian is confused and upset but he is happy that no one got seriously injured. "No, he is not dead, not yet" Jefferson says this out loud. Suddenly Ginji's body starts to twitch rapidly and the hole in his chest starts to close. A large amount of Jagan energy starts to rapidly consume his body, his skin slowly turns pitch black. "Jefferson, shouldn't you, you know, kill him before he finishes transforming" Dylan says this, clearly trying to not let anymore destruction to occur. "Don't you know that it's courtesy to let the opponent reach their full power. It's not even my fight anyway, this is his fight" Jefferson points behind himself towards Ian. Ian has a determined look on his face, he wants his revenge and he also wants to prove that he isn't a useless member of the force. He was ashamed of himself, someone of his position losing so easily to a unknow threat. Not even being able to protect his own team. He will never be that weak again.
