Book II Finale Part II - Annihilation

Within seconds the two locked hands yet the beast grabbed itachi by the waist and lifted him up over his head. Itachi gave multi-kicks to Tae-sho with both feet. Tae-sho was stunned but didn't let go. He body slammed Itachi to the ground, making a huge crater. It grabbed his ankle and slung him a couple of yards but Itachi rolled over in mid-flight and flew back, faster than the lightening that cackled around them. He hit the demon in the face with a multi-fisted punch that Tae-sho could not even see.

Tae-sho hit the ground and knocked over five trees. While Tae-sho was still dazed, Itachi snapped one of his arms back almost breaking it and went for another arm, pulling it out towards him and aiming for his elbow to snap it in two. Before he could make contact he was kicked in his mid-section. When Itachi crouched from the sharp pain to his abs, two fist smacked him in the face flipping him three times in the air before he hit the ground.

"Damn, you're strong…Uchiha. This is the most fun I've had." Tae-sho said stalking closer. Itachi got in a push up position to quickly charge at the animal with his wings close to his body. He was able to get a clear punch to the demons face, but he was kneed in his groin.

Falling to the ground again, Itachi rolled over in excruciating pain while Tae-Sho tried to regain his bearings.
"Well it seems you think I'm going to be really easy but you're still holding back, so how bout we use our demonic powers." Tae-sho's green eyes glowed and his hands glowed green also. Two green bolts left the palms of his hands. One made it's mark on Itachi's chest and the other was avoided.

Tae-sho heard the whistle of metal and from all directions shurikens attacked him. With all of his hands he blocked most but many made their mark as well.

"Heh…got me."

Itachi stepped forward and disappeared right in the creatures face with his fist arched back to deliver a blow so hard to Tae-sho's face he almost burst his eyeball. Tae-sho flipped mid-air twice but before he could hit the ground Itachi gave him a kick like a punter. The beast went flying into the air and Itachi appeared above him to give him an in-air body slam with the force to send the animal back to the ground making another huge crater, but also pulling some of the topsoil in as well.

The beast exploded out of the hole, faster than Itachi calculated and the thing bear hugged Itachi almost cracking the bones in his wings. It slung itachi at an angle to the ground where he put a long crevice into the black soil until he knocked down a couple of small trees.

"How'ya like dat asshole?" Tae-sho said still squinting from the punch to his face.

This thing is stronger than I thought. I should've been working out and training these past months. I've grown laxed and weak…I should've fed on more blood.

"Wake up slayer!"

As Itachi stalked from the trees he noticed a wall of hell's fire coming at him. He cocooned himself with his wings, grimacing from the acidic flames that bit at the skin of his wings and quickly burst out with a thin shield of his healing aura to take care of the burn and to see where his opponent was.

The demon began to fire at him with all his might and Itachi did all he could to block his shots using his own power of defense. His forearm's skin thickened as a protector from the hell fires being thrown at him.

"Not bad. The speed you possess is definitely God given. But speed alone won't save you."

Itachi looked forward and noticed Tae-sho was gone. He turned about in his circle and leaned to the right dodging two fists that came at him from a portal. It closed and he took to the turbulent skies. Using the electricity to help with his charge he saw a foot coming out of another rip in the fabric of the dimension and he took his chance. Gripping the ankle of his opponent Itachi let his body become a conductor and the lightening flowed through him into the body of Tae-sho. The demon was roasted.

The force knocked Itachi to the ground however, making yet another crater, and Tae-sho fell from the sky making an even bigger crater. The move was enough to greatly injure the beast but the fall hurt Itachi tremendously.

"Gotta…get…up…before…"

The sound of ripping flesh was drowned by the roar of the demon. One clawed hand had ripped through Itachi's left side and another had punched through his chest cavity. Missing his intended target Tae-Sho materialized on the outskirts of the crater charred and boiling mad.

"You…fuck! I was going to toy with you, but you scinged my beautiful skin! You fuck!"

Itachi knew he would have to get up or be killed. Tae-sho jumped into the crater to stomp on Itachi but he was able to use enough strength to slide into a portal, and re-appeared a couple of feet away. On hands and knees he held his broken breastplate tightly to keep his beating heart from falling onto the black ground. His flesh burned from being torn, trying it's best to heal what was most important first. The wounds were fatal.

The slicing of flesh made Itachi scream as his left wing was shredded through by one of the claws of Tae-sho. The relentless animal gripped the larger joint of Itachi's wing and flung him into three trees cracking them slightly yet snapping Itachi's left thigh.

Throwing him to the ground, Tae-sho beat upon his chest like a gorilla and charged at the crumpled body of Itachi. Itachi had enough strength to sit up and send a shuriken lightening bolt hurling towards him. The weapon cut one of Tae-sho's arms off, before circling back. Tae-sho simply stopped the weapon with another hand. It exploded, yet it broke four fingers off of the demon's claw.

"I will kill you slayer bastard!"

The thing charged again. Itachi knew he was too weak to do anything else and his body wasn't healing fast enough. On his hands and knees he rolled to his back praying his beating heart stay within him attached only by his main arteries and a couple of vessels.

It can't end like this…please…I have to…to…to…

Tae-sho lifted his hands high over his head to deliver the final blow to Itachi's skull but only hit the cold ground. Itachi had vanished.

"I will find you! I will kill you! This I promise…slayer Uchiha!"

The roar of the beast was accompanied by the applause of thunder.
