Alright here is chapter 11, I felt a bit disappointed about the lack of response to the last one, I'll try to do better.
Ash arrived at Gade's house after defeating the Nevi, enjoying his new gravity power. Ash climbed down and saw Gade reading something. "What's up"? Ash asks. Gade jumps slightly before turning to Ash, who blinked. "Ah Ash, I see your back, how did it go"? Gade asks. Ash answers by jumping off the wall and landing near Gade. "Pretty well". Ash answers. Gade blinks before humming in thought. "Interesting, your utilizing a different use of gravity powers, interesting". Gade observes. "Was a pain to get down after I missed a wall". Ash says before laughing along with Gade. "Anyway, I got to report to the Commander, see you". Ash waves goodbye before going out.
Ash landed on the ship Yuri surveyed the city from. Ash walked in and was surprised to see Kat and Raven there as well. "Hey Kat, Raven". Ash greets, making the two turn to them. "Hey Ash, how did the Nevi fight go"? Kat asks. Ash answered her by ricocheting off the walls a couple of times before landing. "Wow, you learn a new move each time you absorb those orbs". Raven points out in awe. "Yea, but there's something else". Ash began, making the two blink. "Usually when I absorb one, I have physical traits as well, it doesn't make sense that I didn't get one this time". Ash points out, making the two stare at his extended teeth that appeared not long ago. "True, perhaps its something you already have, and will come back later". Raven guesses. Ash's eyes go wide in realization. "What"? Kat asks. "Nothing, nothing at all". Ash answers, stunned. They were about to question more when Yuri walked in. "Hello Ash, how did it go"? Yuri asks. Ash hands him the slip he was supposed to fill out, and Yuri nods in acceptance. "Impressive, Alias' Nevi's are getting stronger". Yuri notes. "I have to go, there's something I have to check out". Ash says before walking out.
Ash was in the city part of Hekseville, looking at the support beams holding the town to the World Pillar. "I have to see". Ash mutters. Ash was warned about time moving differently wherever the person is, so Ash limited his search to where it wouldn't affect him. Ash jumps down and flies down the pillar, keeping a mental warning whenever he gets close to passing the 'time barrier'. Ash landed on a small piece of floating earth, and gaped. Ash indeed saw the Rising Death, it indeed was a giant Gravity Storm. Ash decided to try something. Ash powered into his Xuen form before gathering energy into a beam. Ash shot it with all his power, hitting the Rising Death, a bright flash following. Ash opened his eyes and saw that he made a huge hole in it, and strangely, it wasn't filling it in. "So it doesn't patch itself up". Ash mutters, surprised at this revelation. His discovery was short lived as the Rising Death shot tendrils of itself at Ash. Ash avoids them before slashing them to bits with his gauntlets. "I gotta get out of here". Ash exclaims before he was enveloped in Aura and shot off, the tendrils attempting to catch him, only to fail.
Ash arrived at Gade's place, powering down from his Xuen form and panted, not used to maintaining the form that long. Ash climbed down and tossed Gade the report he wrote on it, and all but fell onto his bed, instantly falling asleep.
To be continued
Alright there was chapter 11, sorry if it wasn't long, but I wanted to point out a major point in the plot. As you can see, the Rising Death can't regenerate, since it's like a cloud, it will be hit but It can't fix itself. Anyway, I am trying hard to keep my stories up to date.
