The head of the ADP shouted orders above the wailing of the sirens. Rodriquez had obviously failed to destroy the target and they were now under attack because of his incompetence. The director cursed under his breath as another blast rocked the ADP on its foundations.
"Deploy the main laser cannons, scramble all units; I want that monster incinerated."
Another blast caused bits of caulking to rain down upon the director's head. The head of the ADP grumbled audibly, this was not what he signed up for.
The adumbration had to give these earthlings some credit, their energy weapons had some power, but were easily destroyed and now they swarmed out from their base like angry hornets. He shot them down as they emerged, but they kept coming. The adumbration decided to end this little farce and charged himself up to his full power and fired a massive energy blast directly at the earthling's headquarters. A massive explosion left nothing but scrap metal, debris and a large scorch mark that was five blocks wide. The adumbration frowned; there should have been nothing left. The base must have had some sort of energy shield that absorbed most of the shock. The adumbration shrugged; as long as the humans were dead he didn't care. The adumbration suddenly sensed a familiar power heading his way, Wakizashi was coming. The creature smiled, this is where their feud would end.
Wakizashi arrived to find the adumbration waiting for him with folded arms. The two opponents stared at each other in silence for a while, as the remains of the ADP lay smoking in the background. Wakizashi had been too late to save those people, but he would end this creature's reign of terror here and now.
"This ends now Wakizashi; I will destroy you and scatter your remains throughout the cosmos."
"You're right about one thing adumbration; this does end here and now." The two combatants floated to the ground and took defensive stances. For a brief eternity neither side so much as blinked, and then the adumbration lunged forward and disappeared just in front Wakizashi.
Wakizashi teleported out of the way as an energy beam made a miniature crater where he had been standing. Wakizashi reappeared behind the adumbration and clobbered him with a double fisted attack before disappearing again. The adumbration hit the ground hard, but was back on his feet and firing rapid ki blasts all around him. Wakizashi appeared in front of him and punched him in the stomach, only to receive a blow to the stomach himself. The two separated, holding their abdomens and then both launched into the air with a volley of punches and kicks so fast and vicious that the only thing the normal spectator would have seen and heard were loud explosions and mountains crumbling, with the occasional energy blast streaking across the sky.
"I see you haven't lost any of your skill, Wakizashi." said the adumbration as they paused for breath.
"I've dedicated my life to destroying you foul creature."
"I'm flattered. What will you do when I'm gone? Can you really destroy the reason for your existence?" Instead of answering, Wakizashi renewed his attack.
The adumbration was losing ground fast. His last attack on the earthling base used up more energy than he had previously thought and his battle with Wakizashi was continuing to wear him down. He had to finish this fight as soon as possible or Wakizashi would win.
Wakizashi pressed his advantage; he could sense the adumbration growing weaker with every blow. Wakizashi landed a fierce combo that ended with a kick to the head that sent the adumbration flying into the base of the nearest mountain and finally rendered him unconscious. Wakizashi looked down on the crumpled form and prepared to deliver the death stroke.
