1 ZLF Aftermath

"Take this!"
There was a small snarl of pain from the tiger as he slammed face-first onto the bloody floor. He looked up and into the eyes of his clone. He seemed to smirk as he shape shifted into his tiger form and lunged at Long's throat. He ducked as the tiger sailed overhead and barely missed his head. I must do this here and now, or he may never be defeated. I must believe in my abilities to face this thorn in everyone's side.
Such a weakling! How could I be a clone of this pathetic creature? Kill him now, and I won't need to worry about it ever again. My beast drive will finish him off.
He started his six level combo on the rival tiger's back.
No! I can't let him defeat me!
Long managed to escape his clone's vengeful attack and counter it by doing a low sweeping motion with his powerful claws. He was lucky. The clone had just attempted the twenty-two hit finish, but Long had managed to disrupt it and save his life.
Damn! This wasn't supposed to happen!
Now, while he is distracted!
Long pulled back his paws and gathered as much energy from his surroundings as he could. The clone realized what he was about to do.
No!
There was a slight pause in all time and space as Long forced all his powers into the last punch. His clone received the full force as his side had been exposed to Long after the attempted beast drive. The sheer power knocked him through the arena wall and through a brick wall. All that remained from the clone was his spilled blood and a gigantic hole in the wall.
Long shifted back to his human form and struck a victory pose, speaking, "This futile battle.is over."
Curious as to why his clone hadn't emerged to kill him, Long wandered over to the hole and peered inside. "Shenlong? Where are you?"
There was no trace of any living or non-living thing in the small room behind the brick wall. Long stepped over the debris and examined the room thoroughly. He caught no scent nor saw anything of his clone.
This is most peculiar. I have defeated him, but where is he now? Even if he is-was a clone, he should not have disappeared without any trace. "Shenlong, are you there? Please answer me!"
There was no sound, no scent, no movement, not even a faint feeling of a living presence in that tiny room. Oddly feeling ashamed and not victorious, Long left the room and checked everywhere for even a tiny hint of his clone's existence. He found none.
Have I failed again? Have I committed another sin against another living being, intentional or not? Why must I hurt so every time someone or something has been defeated?
Long left the Zoanthrope Liberation Front building, shaking his head sadly.
Watching from afar, Busuzima watched with interest. "So my prize experiment has been defeated? Damn. I ought to check out the building. Maybe I'll find something and can make a new clone!" He snickered to himself and started toward the ZLF building.
