Chapter 21: Hard Decisions (Part I)
Jin's breathing has certainly become heavier, the moment they should be arriving at their wanted location... and they were making express time, but soon... should they realize, that they will be in for an even difficult time, as Xiao then had to yell, while looking into the distance, that was disturbed by all the rain dropping down on her field of sight.
"Jin! Stop!"
"Wha-! Ah!"
Jin braked hard and then both abruptly stopped, right in front of a demarcation with a three signs, that say: ROAD UNDER REPAIR! The young Kazama had to groan in agony...
"Please, everything but this and in the most unsuitable moment...! Damn it!"
"What should we do? Look for an alternative for a route?"
"That's what I'd be wanting right now..."
Both looked around and saw, there was a road, leading down the same road, that wasn't blocked with any signs... but it made the impression, that this won't become a shortcut, which made the young Kazama sigh in desperation.
"Looks like we don't have much of a choice... either that way, or stay here and let Asuka and Hwoarang rot in hell..."
"Let's just go."
And with that, Jin turned the engine back on and both then drove down to follow the lane, leading to their wanted destination... however, both knew for a fact, that this won't spare them the majority of the time they have already lost...
Meanwhile with Hwoarang and Asuka...
"Hahaha! Prepare to die, young one! Your time is up!"
Yelled out Feng Wei, as he starts concentrating all his energy on his right foot, that he has raised, ready to smash his heavy foot on Asuka's ribs and break them like dry wood... and with the beating she has received from the evil Kenpo master earlier, there was no way, she could possibly dodge this fatal blow, with her being too exhausted to roll out of the way, which brought her korean companion, Hwoarang, into a desperate situation... and he just didn't know what to do anymore. Should he simply attack Feng and let Asuka be a sacrifice of honour and avenge his master right away, or should he save her life, thus risking to receive the same kind of beating she has received before?
"Godamnit...! What should I do...?! He will kill her, but he will do the same to me, should I dare to get in his way, by saving her bacon...!"
All the while, Asuka had to look at Feng's foot, that was ready to smash all her bones to pieces with weak eyes, preparing herself for her incoming doom...
"Is this... how my life will end...? Dying so pathetically... to the same guy... I failed against once already...?"
"Before I kill you, I HAVE to pay you my respects... you put up a much better fight than this pitiful excuse for a Taekwando instructor... and that you didn't go down as quick as he did. Hehehe, but as the old saying goes: The strong reign supreme and the weak should know their place, before daring to get in the way of the strong... and this will be exactly what is coming to you... the consequences for your disobedience to this norm will be severe...! And now... die!"
He raised his foot higher, further tempting the young Korean in doing something unwanted... and all that Asuka could do, was watch... how his foot then made its way against her ribs...
"STOP!"
Everything then becomes slower, as Hwoarang then dashes straight forward to carry Asuka out of the way, catching the Kenpo master off guard, before the shockwave of that stomp just now made him nearly lose his balance... he then quickly turned his attention to Hwoarang, as he quickly noticed, that Asuka was no longer underneath him... but to Hwo's surprise, he didn't outright go for an ambush from behind, which made him breath up in relief, as he gently puts the young Kazama down on the ground, softly brushing a bit of her messy, wet hair behind her ear, as he inspected her... and while he did, Asuka then quickly came back to her senses and her eyes shot wide open in shock, as she wondered, why she was still alive... and as soon as her sight fell on Hwo, who was currently busy with inspecting her entire physique for serious injuries, she became real nervous...
"Y-Y-You idiot...! W-Why did you do this...?!"
"Did what? Saving your ass, before it could be handed to you? If that's the answer you were longing for, there you got it."
Now, for the first time, ever since the two have known each other, she began to genuinely fear for Hwoarang's life, as she could predict: He is going to end up like Baek... or even worse than that, as he didn't follow Feng's given condition. But since she never felt this way before, all that she could, was beginning to shake, alongside the tone in her voice, ready to scold him for his foolishness.
"D-Do you have any idea... w-what this will mean for you! H-He will come after YOU this time... you broke the rule...!"
However, his only response to all this, was an emotionless, yet somehow melancholic-feeling look, being thrown her way.
"...Do I look like I care? Do you seriously expect me, to let you get killed, all for the sake of a stupid bout like this? There never were any RULES to begin with. All this is, is just a sick game, where all humanity is lost and witnessing you receiving what was coming to you, there is no doubt about it anymore..."
Now Asuka really became scared... since she didn't manage to beat Feng, she couldn't avenge her father, nor Hwoarang's father-figure... and now she didn't want him to senselessly throw his life away like this, all for her, someone who was obviously weaker... she grabbed his hand, as she looked at him with angry eyes, that should hide her sadness...
"You moron...! Cut this wannabe-bravery out and don't even bother facing this monster! Do you really want to end up like me here...?! Is that it what you want, huh?! If so, you are even stupider than I thought...!"
He then swiftly, yet gently grabbed her shaky wrist and returns that angry looks of hers, obviously revealing, that he wasn't being brave right now at all.
"And then what?! So what if I get killed or not...! For me, there won't be a home-coming anyways, as I wouldn't be able to live with myself, should I now run away, living with the fact, I couldn't defeat the person responsible for setting my life on fire...! So I say, YOU better quit being such scaredy cat about all of this, especially in MY presence, you got that! Already forgotten, what I told you before...?"
"But what meaning will all this have... if you won't be here anymore...?"
Hwo could sense, that she was at the brink of shedding tears, judging by her stronger-getting shaking and he could see, she was trying to be tough, but it all goes completely wrong... and in an attempt to comfort her, he takes her hand, the same one that grabbed his arm before and gently squeezes it inside his both palms, trying to give her reassuring warmth...
"How about remembering it then, hm?"
The mere contact with Hwoarang's hands made her feel awkward, but also way more safe than before... the chances of victory were slim, but giving up now would result in nothing but agony either way... so she slowly grew to accept his and her fate... and she gently whispered to herself, as her eyes move slowly downwards...
"This is why I hate you... and that A LOT..."
Hwoarang began to smirk, as he then stood back up and turned around to face Feng and whatever he was planning for him, for not having followed his order... but surprisingly, Feng had to scratch his chin in interest...
"You do realize, that those who don't follow rules deserve to be punished, don't you?"
"I do, and to be frank, I don't care..."
"Why did you save this weakling over there anyhow? She tried to protect you, failed at it and now it's you doing it in return... what makes you still stick to her?"
"You wouldn't understand... but one thing is for sure... she is anything BUT a weakling. I have spent enough time with her to get to this conclusion... she defended me and now it's time for me to repay that favour of hers... otherwise, how would I live with myself?"
"Interesting... so you two see one another as equals now, because of each of you, constantly licking each others wounds..."
This gave the evil Kenpo master a cruel idea... he wanted to see, if Hwoarang's words proved to hold merit to them and if he is really loyal to Asuka... so he gets into his trademark pose again, before beginning to glare at the Korean with eagle-like eyes...
"If that is true, then I think it's better, if I test you, just to amuse myself at watching you senselessly trying to defend your ideals."
Hwo starts jumping up and down, before doing his usual combat stance, while a little cocky grin formed on his lips.
"And I will be the one, left standing, laughing the loudest."
"I'd like to see that..."
The young Taekwando master then thought to himself, as the wind epically brushes across his cheeks, making his red hair dance in the soft, yet strong breeze.
"Baek... watch over me. I am going to make you proud."
And with that, the two ran at one another, ready to clash...
The first attack, was Hwoarang throwing a heel kick at the Chinese from above, which as expected, gets easily blocked, but this gave the Korean an open space for him to hit, as he wasn't paying attention to his lower area and he ended up getting kicked down there real hard with his second foot, forcing him to distance himself away from Hwo with him landing almost elegantly back on the ground. But he was far from finished with him. As he then went for another assault... but since he was fighting on an entirely different league than Asuka, having dealt with armed criminals for a long time, ever since him having joined the military, he could handle him easier than his loyal companion and it showed through his next tactical assault. He taunted Feng into coming closer, before doing a Flamingo step backwards, before eventually doing a "Flamingo Rocket", kicking the massive Kenpo master right in the chest and it was powerful enough to make him flinch back... however, much like Asuka, he was planning on using the same trick again and this time, he would show no mercy, especially since he was the one to disturb his match with the young Kazama. And despite the pain, it didn't make Feng mad and most likely motivated him further to taunt Hwoarang... and it showed with his counterattack. As expected, the vengeful Taekwando master ran towards the God Fist master, just like he asked for it, as he waited for the right moment to strike and he canalizes all the power he absorbed through Hwoarang's attack thus far. And just as he was about to strike him across the face with a roundhouse kick, Feng opens his eyes, dashes back within one blink of an eye and then quickly steps forward to ram Hwo with an "Iron Fortress" and because of him having used his own energy to repay him for his failed attempts to injure him, the force of the ram has been doubled, making Hwo roll across the wet floor, before eventually landing close to a tree... despite him laying on the ground, he could somehow sense Feng's presence getting closer and closer... and before he could stomp him, he rolled aside and kicks the Chinese from below against the stomach, before jumping forward to pin him to the ground himself.
"Ha! You really think ramming me would hold me down?"
And then, the Korean used one of his famous techniques on Feng. He rolled over to kneel right before his face, before pulling off the really painful "Roll and Choke" on him, which made the Kenpo master spit up blood from how much that genuinely hurt this time. But again, all it did, was feed him with more power, however... there was the weakness: Should he get attacked without pause, he won't have a moment of peace to relax and keep all the absorbed power under his control. And since he needed a moment to rest, he waited for the right moment again, as he watched Hwo boast with his little victory.
"Not so tough now, are you? Just as a reminder, I am not Asuka. You play with me, my levels are on a whole new level..."
"...and that is of foolishness."
And before he knew it, Hwoarang found himself being grabbed by his throat, with a grip, that made him almost choke to death, before he is being lifted off the ground and then getting thrown away from himself to gather the wanted distance. Hwo's little flight ended with him, crashing against a stone-pillar, that was part of one of the temples in the area... he rubbed the back of his head and growled in agony...
"That hurt... damn it..."
And as he slowly regained his balance, his gaze fell on Feng in the distance again... he was mediating again, to tame the energy he has gathered all for himself... but simply watching him do this, in a fight, that could decide over life and death for one and the other, it made the Korean's feelings go wild, as it felt like he was mocking him now... he walked over, despite the injuries and began to growl again.
"I've just had it with these cheap techniques of yours...! I've met quite the bunch of pricks in my life...! BUT YOU...!"
Without further questioning, he began running towards the Chinese this time, not caring what was going to happen next, as he began to realize, that he wasn't taking him seriously one bit... but Asuka now became concerned, as Hwo's reckless behaviour could at this point lead to his feared demise, now with him no longer being able to keep his temper under control. Right now, she is watching the fearsome spectacle, from the safety of one of the temple's rooms, to protect herself from the rain, as she couldn't bear it any longer, specifically with all the pain that Feng has bombarded her with. And just before Hwoarang could land a hit on Feng, he then opens his eyes and grabs his leg and simply throws him away from himself, giving him more time to canalize all the power that is brewing inside him... he knew, that this made Hwoarang all the more angry, but this was all part of the plan. He would simply wait, until everything was set again to strike him down and finish him off, just like his Kazama partner... and of course, Hwo refused to let this get to him too easily... as he then prepared to go for a surprise attack.
"So frontal attacks don't shake him, I see. I suppose, giving him a surprise-surprise, should do the trick."
And with that, he ran towards Feng again, before stopping right in front of him... and just as he grabbed his leg to throw him away, Hwo's eye sparkled, before he stomps on his hand to make him let go of him and to further start the confusion tactic, he did another Flamingo stance and this time from the right. He hopped forward, giving the Kenpo master a hard time in hitting him, as he didn't give him any opportunities any longer... and just like when Feng, was about to use "Iron Fortress" again, Hwo stepped to the side in time, before using his famous "Firecracker" to make the Chinese fly high up in the air, continuously juggling him in the air with his famous "Hunting Hawk" combination, but instead of hitting him down towards the ground, he then kicked him further upwards, leaving wide open for his famous and effective "Overhead Kick" and as soon as he was high enough for Hwo to reach again, he skewed Feng with a kick in the stomach, only to then send him flying over onto the other side of the park. Even Asuka to crack a smile at the sight and shook her head in disbelief.
"Moron... always taking the easiest way, eh?"
Hwo had to smirk a little, since he put a lot of force behind that kick, that made the Chinese just kiss the floor repeatedly.
"These legs have never let me down! And they're never going to. What do you think of that?"
"...I think, you are a little overestimating yourself, youngster."
"Huh?!"
His moment was rudely interrupted by Feng, having quickly recovered from that supposedly really painful combination, leaving the dazed Korean to stand there and watch in horror, how little that attack did anything on him. And since he was absorbing every hit like a sponge, only to make him grow even more powerful, he was left with nothing but utter disappointment. He had no choice, but to hide it and back up with a fake confidence, that he created just now in a moment of desperation.
"So you didn't get enough of this?! You want me to beat you some more?"
"I am afraid, there won't be a next time for you... and much like this weakling-partner of yours, you have eaten the bait, like a blind fish..."
And with these words, Feng does the same pose he did before to release the power of the dragon inside him and use every ounce of energy that both Asuka and Hwoarang just now, gave him to use it against them. The golden-red aura around him returns and this time, the sparks were more apparent. Asuka now REALLY was in fear of something awful happening to her partner... she just knew, that this isn't going to end well AT ALL. But all she could do for the moment, was to watch and see, if he can last longer than her...
"Hwoarang... don't you DARE screw up now...! You got this far, giving in now, would be the worst mistake you could possibly make...!"
She couldn't hide her fear-filled shivering any longer and she began to sweat again... and even Hwo wasn't so sure of himself anymore, but he knew... giving up is NEVER an option. He prepared himself, both mentally and physically for this, hoping that he will survive this one, despite the odds speaking for this...
"Your time is up, fool... now prepare yourself to be squashed."
"I-I won't go out yet! Bring it on!"
But saying this alone, made Hwo cringe on the inside. Feng has used the same trick and he didn't notice it until now...
"Gosh, does my stupidity know any bounds?! Why did I let him get away with this?! And now look where I stand, cowering in fear like a scaredy-cat... no, pull yourself together! My master is counting on me! He taught me to never give up, no matter what happens... and I am going to keep this vow... no matter what!"
He then screamed at the Chinese with reignited, flaring confidence, ready to face his fate.
"Then so be it! You say my time is up? Then prove it to me, I am not scared of you!"
"I will make you regret these loud words of yours... and since you haven't shown any signs of learning from your mistakes, not being able to admit it to yourself, that you've failed, much like your pathetic excuse for a partner... your defeat will be held much longer. And I am going to enjoy, breaking your spirits, watching you crumble under the weight of my overwhelming power."
"...You sure love to talk big, don't you?"
And with these words, Feng teleports himself in front of Hwoarang, ready to strike him down like usual. Asuka was ready to jump in and save him from whatever was coming to him, but suddenly... the jab, coming from Feng, gets blocked by Hwoarang, only with his mere wrist... despite his strength having increased double the amount, it shocked him, how Hwo could possibly stand there, not moving an inch, as if he didn't even feel anything... but in reality, on the inside, Hwo had to growl loudly in agony... that one jab was real painful to him, it felt like... someone just hit his wrist with a stone... but he didn't dare showing any signs of this having really caught him off-guard... and Asuka was just as surprised, at how less effort her partner put in that defence-move right there...
"How did he do that...?!"
"Argh... darn it... this hurts so bad...!"
However, mercy was not on Feng's mind, so he continued with his merciless onslaught on the young Korean. He then proceeded with hitting Hwo with his "Boar's Tusk", two times, against his stomach... and again, the pain was inhumane... and yet Hwo refused to show, that it hurt, as he didn't want to be a cry-baby and a bad role model to Asuka... he took it in, despite his defensive not doing enough to hold Feng back... and in his mind, whenever a hit landed, he groaned even louder in his head...
"W-What's wrong with this guy...?! Has he eaten rocks for breakfast...?! These attacks are insanely hard... but I got to keep going...! I need to fight back...!"
And all of a sudden, Hwo then countered Feng's uplifting kick with a kick of his own and the impact alone caused a shockwave to boom through the place... and in a moment of hesitation, Feng got hit by Hwoarang again and this time, he changed his position to the right flamingo, allowing him to uplift Feng with a "Grand Theft". And to send him back to crash against the stone-hard ground follow, he used "Blast Fist", giving him more free space to attack him... and once he bounced off the, in order to keep a little distance between him and himself, Hwo went for the the "Ankle Biter", followed by the "Crescent Kick", before sending him flying with a quick "Cheap Shot Snap Kick". Despite having succeeded in making the bad guy roll across the wet soil, he had to groan out loud and spit up blood, as the effects of Feng's blocked attacks left a harsh after-effects and because of him having overstrained his body again, with all these injuries, he couldn't keep it in anymore... this miserable sight really put Asuka over the edge. She wanted to help him, but as his gaze fell upon her, it scared her off, as he looked like he meant serious business... he regretted this gesture, but he didn't want her to get further injured, than she already is...
"Whatever may happen... don't do anything rash, 'Suka... don't mind me, should he get any idea in killing me, don't stay... run for your life...! The less lives he gets on his track-record, the better..."
The mere sight of Hwoarang in his current state, made Asuka's thoughts go wild. She didn't want him to further sacrifice his own time he had left on earth, as she predicts Feng to slay him, now with him having angered him... she sat around the corner, with her knees pressed against her figure, all the while looking down towards the wet ground with sorrowful eyes... but then, her eyes narrowed and she stood up, but slowly, as she didn't want to exaggerate now...
"No... I won't let it end this way. How many have already suffered under this prick's self-centered goals? Then what? Should I simply stay around, doing nothing, while witnessing it all going down the shitter? No, NOT on MY watch, pal..."
She went back to watch the fight, as she already was making up the plan of hers, that she always wanted to try out... and as soon as she arrived, Feng has already recovered and she could see, him having powered up again. This technique turned her fear into genuine fury.
"Apparently, this hypocrite never seems to get tired of this, doesn't he? He seems to love it a little too much, whenever his opponents beat themselves up beyond the limits, just in hopes of taking him down and then he comes with a technique, that is pretty much impossible to overcome...! I hope, Hwo knows, what he is doing... the longer I look at him, the more worse his conditions seems to become..."
After having recovered from that combination of powerful blows, Feng found a suitable moment to relax his entire body, allowing all the absorbed energy to flow freely again... he had to show a malicious grin, proving that Hwo's attacks did, as always, nothing power him up further...
"Hehehe... are you really this stupid? Or are your brain-cells not further developed? You should have known, that regular raids of attacks like these, won't benefit you in any way... and yet you remained in the cage, for having eaten the bait too many times."
"Damn you...! Rot in hell, for all I care...!"
"Ahhh, looks like I did went a little too harsh on you. Good... because now, I am getting really sick of this... it's about time, someone should make you see sense..."
Then his sight fell on Hwoarang's shaking legs. With his trousers having become too wet from the rain, the now cold piece of clothing made him shiver... since his kicks became a thorn in his eye, and he apparently seemed very proud of them, he wanted to pay him out and teach him a lesson, as his grin grew darker... flashbacks of everything that happened to him, when he wasn't as strong as today... every kind of torture he had to suffer through, just to perfect his strength and his skills in the God Fist... and even emotional terror, caused by his own family... he felt the urge to make Hwo feel the same experience...
"You love to kick, I see... and to perfect your Taekwando... well, how about me giving you a lecture in life... on how to get the feeling of TRUE agony!"
"What...?!"
Since Hwoarang has become weaker and he put all his remaining stamina in this previous combo, he had even less power than before and because of Feng sucking his spirits dry with the golden dragon, he felt heavier than plumb... and as the Chinese ran towards him, ready to do whatever he pleased with him, he couldn't do anything, but accept his fate... as he then gets grabbed by his head and pulled up, before eventually getting kicked hard in the gut to fly higher and before he could land painfully back on the ground, Feng spins and stomps Hwo back down, before kneeling down to further torture him... to render him unable, he sat down on his torso, before grabbing his right leg to a painful degree by his ankle and it caused a blood-curdling scream to escape Hwoarang's mouth, making Asuka's thoughts and desperation go wild, ready to get there and help him, as a tear almost escaped her eye-lid, but just as Feng was about to break Hwo's leg, he gets pushed off of the youngster by Hwo's "Pushing Hands" and kicked away with a "Cheap Shot Snap Kick"... but this one, for the first time during the fight, made Feng actually angry, since it slowly began to annoy him, how hard Hwo is to take down, especially with him constantly being so full of himself and for a moment of not paying attention, he achieved exactly what Hwoarang wanted, so that he can give him a final, painful message.
"What a nuisance you are... why won't you just DIE?!"
He didn't bother keeping his golden dragon spirit going, meaning that he couldn't absorb any energy in the following moments, giving an open target for Hwoarang to shoot down victoriously...
"My road, that is my life, won't end, until I stop the engine!"
Said Hwoarang with a confident smirk, as he then raised his right heel to for his famous ultimate combination called "Heel Explosion Combo" and waited for the angered Feng to come close enough...
"You're not gonna like this one bit!"
...only to then smash his heel on top of Feng's head real hard, stunning him just enough for him to then send him flying upwards with a "Firecracker", followed up by a jumping kick in the mid-air, forcing the Chinese to hit the floor and bounce of the ground, giving free space for one final heel smash by Hwoarang and as he raises his heel high in mid-air...
"You're gonna taste the floor with this one!"
...he then flies down and with all force being put in that one heel, he smashes it with full power against Feng's chest, almost cracking his bones with that one and the force was so intense, it made the floor beneath the two crack in several places. To say, that this sight amazed Asuka, was an understatement. His bravery and will to never give up lead him up to that one point, where Feng actually got feel the wrath of his anger and love for his loved ones... Hwo knew, that his end was near... no way that was enough to make him learn his lesson... and much to his expectation not being disappointed, Feng recovers from that, but despite him having survived it, he didn't watch his guard, when Hwo attacked him, so it genuinely hurt this time and he cough up blood, from how strong that heel made his bones crack... but for some reason, Hwo was not afraid of his fate any longer... he walked humbly away, with Feng slowly getting closer, with no way to avoid him anymore and then grabbing him by his head, forcing him to turn around and then kick him in the gut, hard enough for him to spit up blood... but as Feng continued to torture him, Hwo was too exhausted to fight back and thus, had to accept his loss... with a confident grin... and then, Feng jumped high up in the air, targeting his right leg, right on his right ankle... but all that Hwo had to say to all this was a confident:
"Is that... the best you can do... asshole?"
Only to then burst out in screams on anguish and that one moment of hearing Hwo's right leg getting almost snapped in half, just the sounds of bones getting cracked, might forever be stuck in Asuka's memory, as this was that one straw that broke Asuka's back... she couldn't take it anymore and before Feng could think about breaking more of Hwo's bones, as he then continues to repeatedly stomp on Hwo's torso... he then gets forcefully punched away by no other than Asuka herself, who has recovered a little from her injuries. With a few of them being serious, she just didn't care, as this long held-back rage of hers has already consumed her mind entirely, giving her an adrenaline boost, helping her to ignore the pain... as Feng recovered from that blow, he looked at a deadly glare coming from the young Kazama, who then kneels down to check on Hwo... who to her shock, was not moving an inch... she already feared the worst.
"Hwoarang...! Hwo, wake up...! Don't you dare playing tricks on me now, you prick...! Speak to me now!"
Luckily for him, he has only been beaten unconscious, his heart was still beating, although it was faint... but because of Asuka's mind being completely dead-set on Feng and him having probably killed him, judging by the serious injuries... two huge tears began to run down her cheeks, as she raised her voice, shaking him harder.
"YOU IDIOT! Don't you dare, doing this to me! DON'T YOU DARE, YOU HEAR ME! ...HWOARANG!"
She shrieked at the top of her lungs in utter agony... she thought, she has lost someone, that was genuinely precious to her... she had to pull him close, embracing his unconscious body as tightly as she possibly could, with tears still running down her cheeks... the pain was just too much for her to bear, especially having to witness it all ending this way... it was official now... she genuinely HATED Feng... first, it was her father and now, it was someone, who she has already grown deeply fond of over the almost past two months... someone, she could proudly call a friend... and the sight of Asuka weeping over the "loss" of her partner, made Feng chuckle.
"How pathetic... he used up all his power for nothing... what a sad way to go and I was just about to enjoy it. But oh well... in the end, weaklings always remain weaklings, no matter how hard they may try. He accepted his fate... and I suggest, you do the same. Better accept it now, before it gets worse."
Just hearing these spiteful and mocking words, snapped Asuka back to reality... her eyes narrowed, as she then softly drops Hwo back on the ground, before slowly rising off the wet ground, only to face the evil Kenpo master with a deadly serious glare... her rage now growing beyond the limits and with that, her strength... she balls her right hand tightly into a fist...
"Don't you dare... start mocking him like this...! He gave up his life to protect me, no, to protect ALL of us...! He had no strength left... but he kept going... not getting any ideas of giving up, until YOU... are no more...! I will personally make sure... that his death wasn't for nothing...! I will make you... pay..."
...and the grip of her fist became even tighter...
"I will make you pay."
...until it forms her one glove red, because of it starting to bleed, giving the signal, that she was far from done with him.
"I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
