Nightmare-II

"You are nothing more than a disgrace!", the monster said as he repeatedly punched Garou

One night has passed since Tukson died, but his death's heaviest toll has been taken by Garou. Even though he tried everything in his power to save him, he failed and now, his monster-self came to pay a visit.

"You wanted to be a hero... but you chose the path of a monster", the monster repeated the words that the Caped Baldy said after defeating Garou,"Is this how you are going to be a hero!?"

Garou rose up and before he could even look, the monster punched Garou repeatedly in his torso and finished with a roundhouse to the face. Garou flew a few meters and crashed on the ground. The monster continued its taunts and told Garou how could he never be a hero, but he was fed up with this bullshit. He tried to raise himself a bit and suddenly the images of the kid whom he saved back in Monster HQ flashed across, he remembered how the kid treated him as a hero instead of other guys.

"Don't tell me that makes you a hero", the monster says in reference to the kid.

Garou takes an athletic position and lunges at the monster like a beast. Grabbing the monster, Garou pushes it to an extent but the monster plants his feet in the ground and throws Garou by the waist, up in the darkness. Garou attains the maximum height and sees the monster straight at him, he forms a 'X' from his arms and blocks a punch from the monster. Before the monster could throw another punch Garou sends a volley of attacks of his own. The monster is overwhelmed by this and is sent crashing down the ground. Mid-air Garou used Whirling Wind through his heels and crashes down like a missile on the monster with a Flowing Water Fist, but till then the monster rises from the ground and counter-attacks with a punch of his own. Garou using his knuckles, pushes himself away from the monster and takes a spot on the ground.

Both of them look into each other's eye, piercing yellow eyes meeting the dark hollow eyes, and then they both took a battle stance. They both dashed at each other and exchanged blows, the scene was like that a stream of blue and red streaks going forward but were getting interrupted each time they went certain forward.

"How pitiful. I'm not even using my full strength and you still can't even touch me", taunted the monster

Garou caught the monster's arm with his left hand and pulled him a little closer and uses his right hand to send and punch into its face, but the monster does the same and punches him straight in the face. When the punches meet its mark they both stumble back, the effect of punch of Garou was less effective than the monster's. They both stumble back but even before Garou could stand normally, the monster again sent a barrage of punches at him. Garou blocked them all. This reminded him of a time how he brutally defeated that B-Class hero wearing a green tracksuit and glasses.

"Even after all the things that you did", the monster continued, "do you still think you can be a HERO!?"

Garou knew that he would be defeated but he wasn't going to give up that easily, not only in defeating this monster but also on his new goal. He opened his arms and let its fist come closer to him. As its fist was near to his face he ducked and gave a leg sweep to the monster. The monster lost its balance and Garou found an opening and attacked the monster with his full might. Using Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist he punched the monster over and over again. The effect was seen, the monster started forming cracks and finally turned into dust as it shattered releasing light which engulfed Garou.

Garou wakes up and takes a look around. It was early in the morning, he looked at the clock and it read 8:00 AM. He took a deep breadth and got up from his bed. The place he rented wasn't that great but it was enough for Garou. He went straight to his scroll and plugged it out from the charging port and went through his contacts. He scrolled down till he sees a contact name 'Ozpin' and calls it. The call connects but not after few rings.

"Hello?", the man on the other side speaks

"I'm in", Garou replies,"but don't take me as a team player. I work solo"
