Chap. 10 Ryan vs Asher

Asher sighed. He was hoping this guy would just go so he could relax 'Why is it always the hard way with these guys?' Asher thought as he jumped down to face the lizard "So, Ryan was it? Ya sure you wanna do this?" He asked hoping to change this guys mind "I wont tell anyone if you run."

"I think your just afraid to fight me" Ryan taunted. Asher growled, he was through giving this guy a chance, he wished he could kill him. "Im going to enjoy this." Asher knew he was acting overconfident but why shouldent he? He could take this guy easily. He was surprised when Ryan got into a convincing fighting pose.

"Bring it kid"

Asher sneered and dashed towards Ryan.

'Your funeral.' Those words rung in Ryan's head. What had he done. In an instant,Asher ran towards Ryan and delivered a hard punch to his stomic. His world spun around. He stumbled backwards as Asher swung his leg at Ryan. Ryan flew afew feet backwards and rolled on his side. Asher kneed him in the chest. He pick Ryan up and tossed him into a wall. It crumbled abit. Ryan choughed abit of not blood,but not excatly spit up.

"That'll do it." Asher said with a smurk. he turned to leave.

"Where do you think your going?" Ryan said. Asher turned his head to the almost unbelivable sight of Ryan pushing himself.

"This battle isn't over..." he choughed out"untill i bet you.." he felt like he saw gonna puke up his stomic.
Not cool.
He cluched the wall he landed against. He winced. But he refused to lose. He had to stop Vereor,no matter what. But first he had to beat this guy.
He suddenly felt like he could,dispite feeling like his lung was bleeding. He gave Asher look that showed his pure deterimation. Asher was surprised. This guy,this averige gu-no,wait. he wasn't averige,not if that guy,that thing wanted something with him. And honstly,he was abit bit interrested in him too,
but bisiness was bisiness. He turned on the heel and ran towards him.
What was Ryan thinking? 'this battle isn't over untill i beat you'? Was he crazy? Did he have some early death wish?

You can win.

Ryan's eyes grew wide.
'Yes! Your here! You can give me that power that you gave me before to beat the clamaleon!' Ryan thought in his head.

No,no i won't.

'Wait...WaitWHAT!' Ryan screamed in his head.

You have the power to fight your own battles.

'NO,NO,NONONONO!NNOOOOOOO! I NEED your help! I can't fight this guy on my own!'

Let me show you how wrong you are.

Ryan felt a serge of power flow throughout him. But...it was unlike last time,it was less...foreign to him. Like...it was...more natural...
Sefice to say,he felt like he could take on the world,his muscles thighened and he had Buns of Steel. He raised his bat and flipped it abit,then took a batting stance,and swivled it like he was expecting a pitch.
Asher had to do a double take. Had Ryan's eyes...glowed?
He shook his head. It was just a trick of the light.
Probably.
He rushed to Ryan,fully intent on knocking him out. Ryan looked at him,his eyes glowed golden as he rushed at his opponetent.
Asher pulled out a hidden knife and put it infront of him,covering it with his hand,his focus was entirely on the frill rushing at him. He was wide open for attack.
He went for the kill. He stabbed.
Time slowed down in Ryans eyes. He saw the knife,it aimed for his torso. In responce,he swung his bat at Asher. It missed.
But the knife never made contact. Ryan sidestepped out of the way,he grabbed the bat from behind Asher. Asher turned his head with surprise filling his face. Ryan ajusted the bat mid-step and swung it with gusto.
A direct hit.
Asher's back bended as the bat gave him a hard pain in his back. It felt as if his spine nearly broke. Asher fell foward and Ryan felt pretty good about that swing. Asher stumbled. But Ryan didn't let up,
He kneed Asher in the back and then kicked him to the wall. Asher felt his body hit something hard and rocky,his muzzle rubbed against grainy stone. Ryan punched his back in quick and painful jabs. Asher's back felt destoyed,
Ryan jumped back as Asher got his barring. He wanted to win,but he was fighting a kid. Asher clenched his back,what got into this guy? Since when did he get moves like that? Asher pulled out some more throwing knifes.
Time for things to get serious.

He spun around and lunged at Ryan,he preformed a series of punches. Suddenly Ryan felt a jolt of energy surge through him. He found himself blocking most of Ashers punches. He roundhouse kicked Ryan in the chest and pulled him by the back of his jacket. Asher tossed Ryan backwards and kicked him in the chest. Ryan bended backwards and did a hand stand. He raised his foot and he kicked Asher in the face and backflipped. Asher tossed some knives at him,Ryan dodged mosty of them but got cut in the arm and leg. He bent down and winced "Thats gonna leave a mark" Asher continued with vicious punches. Ryan dodged them by jumping back. He had to keep in mind with all his power,he wasn't invincible. He could still very well die if he wasn't carful. He unshealed his claws and dashed towards Asher at a blinding speed. He slashed at his chest and dropkicked him with his tail,and then attemped to punch him. Asher fell backwards but landed on his hands,he then ajusted himself and lauched towards Ryan,kicking him into some rubble. Ryan cluched his chest,what he just said? Man,he couldn't even listen to himself. It seemed like he should feel more hurt,be he was just fine. Sure,pretty hurt,but still,fine. He felt like he could take on the world,
but first he had to beat Asher. He got up and dusted himself off,he then looked at Asher. Their eyes meet in a steally gaze. Ryan felt as if his body flew towards Asher as he dashed at him. He jumped and kicked at Asher,who grabbed his foot and spun him around. He tossed him and Ryan's claws grabbed at the dirt,slowing him down to landing speed. Asher had enough,he pulled out long piece of what aperred to be silverly metal. A sword. Ryan felt some of his confidence leave him. He could hit Asher with his bat untill he fants,but one good swing with that sword and he was a goner. He took a very carful stance as Asher spun his sword around abit axiously.

"Time to see what your made of." Asher said.
"See,now that's a good pun." Ryan responed.
"What?"
"W-well,you said Time to see what your made of,and that sword could cut me open and,well,it happened with the chame-y-you made a good-y-you know what? forget it,you won't get it."
Asher shrugged. He flipped his sword and charged at Ryan. Ryan steadyed himself and jump over him,neary getting cut on the sharp blade. He spun around and smacked Asher with his bat. He growled and repeatedly tried to stab Ryan with the tip of the blade. Ryan dodged with expert skill,but saw a small red raindrop splash on his arm. It wasn't a raindrop. He clened his arm and winced in pain. Ryan then darted to the left to avoid Asher's attacks. He removed his hand to survey the damage,but all he saw was green scales. Had his body healed that fast? He needent think about it for now,cuz he had ths sneaking suspiction that those wounds wouldn't heal so fast if they were throughout his anatomy. Asher tilted his blade and once again dashed at Ryan,having gone much faster than last time. something about this guy,something about him,it just seemed to pull out his full fighting potencle. he made asher want to win,forget the job,no matter what. ryan slid under the quick blade and spun around to collect his barrings,but he wasn't given much time. a sharp metal object was on a collision course with Ryan's body. Not cool. Ryan quickly jumped to avoid this danger to his health and landed on something,he wasn't sure what. It was cold,and hard.
He looked down,he landed on Asher's sword. He looked at Asher,who was just as surprised as he was,and Ryan notice something,he was unarmed. He took this chance to test how hard a bat could hit a face repeatedly by using Asher as a test subject. He swung back and forth,landing a hard blow every single time. Asher eventually pulled away,
but Ryan wasn't done. He jumped up and tossed his bat at Asher's head,making a satisfing BONK noise. Asher had had it. For real this time. He pulled out his shuriken and made a meancing pose.

"This is where it all ends."

"Bout time. I was staring to get bored!" Ryan retoured.
Asher threw them at incredible speed,Ryan manged to dodge everyone as he ran up to the right of Asher and wallran to the entrance,except he was on the buliding the entrence was in. Asher clenched he teeth,there was only one thing he could do now. He pulled out another shuriken.

'I hate to do this,'he thought to himself'it may be small,but it packs a punch...' he threw the shuriken and Ryan got ready to dodge,but there was something of about this perticular shuriken. It had something on it,hanging really,and he thought he saw smoke trailing of from it.
Explosive.
Asher sneered "Fang style:Flaming Shur-Will-Explode!"
Ryan freaked. He was frozen in fear. Bombs? He didn't know how to deal with bombs! The explosive rushed faster towards him,he put his hand out infront of him,as if it would really protect him. He closed his eyes and hoped with all his heart help would arrive.
quiteness filled the air.
'Wheres that back up?' Ryan tried listening for the TUFF agents. But he then relized something,where was the explosion? He removed his hands from blocking view and opened his eyes to view a stupefied looking Asher,jaw fully dropped. He was confused for a moment and glanced at his hand. There was an explosion. in it.
At first,Ryan freaked at the sight of it. But then relized it wasn't exploding. He tossed it up and down acouple of times,testing it's weight. It wasn't much heavier that a baseball.

DING

Ryan gave Asher abit of a snarky smile and tossed the explosion up in the air.
"Batter up!"
He swung his bat just as the explosion fell in perfect alinement with it. A orange ripple in the air appered as the explosion flew through the air to reach where Asher was standing.

KER-POW!

Smoke covered the area. It was hard to see,but Ryan made out an image in the dust. Asher was lying on some rocks,unconsces,but alive. Ryan saw his chest extend and unextend. He nodded.
he then rushed around the area and jumped over the now made clearing to where Vereor ran off to. It was time to settle the score.
