Chapter 2: Fist vs. Fire
I.
Neo looked at him with complete shock.
"So you are saying that you are the first chosen one?" said Neo with surprise in his face.
"Don't look so shocked." Replied the mysterious man. "If the machines can create a living breathing world that is known as the matrix, bringing back a previous occupant shouldn't be too hard."
Neo thought this over. He was pretty sure that this was actually a previous "one". He figured that out when the guy started flying. But the question that popped into his mind was why and how he was brought back.
"Why are you killing all of those innocent people? You know that if they die in the matrix their real body is finished to." Said Neo
"Innocent? You think these people around us are innocent?" Said the man with anger. "They are the ones that forced the machines into labor. They are the ones that made slaves of the machines. Numerous attempts were tried to make peace but all of them were rejected. All of them deserve a fate worse than death but they are being spared so the machines can make good use of their limitless energy."
"Okay so this guy is definitely under the control of the machines" Thought Neo. They must have brainwashed him. Not only to fight me but they also downloaded their machine beliefs in also."
The man took a step forward towards Neo. He shoe made a crunching noise after he stepped on some ash.
"I use to be like you, wanting to save people and destroy the matrix. But the machines have opened up my eyes. The human life is not worth saving. I enjoy destroying them with ease and I do it with pleasure. My name is Titus and like the Titans of the Heavens I will crush you just like a common man." Said Titus with power in his voice.
"Your arrogance will cost you your life." Neo said. "I will destroy you and I will destroy the four others. Then after that the matrix will be terminated and all of the slaves of the system will be free. You doubt my skill and I will use that to my advantage."
"You have no idea what you are in for do you? The machines didn't just bring me back. They also upgraded me and the four others. We all have been given a special skill. Mine happens to be fire. I can produce it and manipulate it. I can also form explosives. There is no way that you, without any special abilities will be able to compete with me. This fight is already over." Said Titus
Neo laughed to himself and lunged at Titus.

Titus quickly jumped up in the air and dove down so his hands were on Neos shoulder and it was like he was doing a hand stand. He then leaned back and threw Neo at speeds close to 100mph. Neo hit a wall and went right threw it. Tons of debris came flying down piling on top of him. A huge dust cloud appeared and Titus walked toward it.
"This was too easy." Said Titus
A huge grin appeared on his face as he saw no movement. Then out of nowhere Neo appeared from behind and slammed into Titus knocking them both into the pile of rubble. Neo grabbed Titus by the hair and threw him straight up in the air. He then quickly drew his two guns and started firing straight up at his enemy. The bullets were on a straight path to Titus' head and moving at insane speeds. Titus regained his balance in the air and in a split second conjured fire out of nowhere right in front of the bullets. The fire was so intensely hot that the bullets immediately melted. Titus concentrated than used his powers to trap Neo in a dome of fire. It completely surrounded him. The only way out of it was through it.
"That fire has a temperature of over 400 degrees Celsius." Informed Titus. "Not even you could pass through it without harm."
Neo stuck his finger through the flame. He quickly took it out.
"See you can't even escape an easy trap I made for you." Laughed Titus. You are nothing compared to me. I was the closest thing humans had for a hero."
Neo who was obviously bluffing about the fire being to hot sprung up from the fire circle and punched Titus squarely in the face making him flip out of control. Titus landed on the ground and got up quickly. He cracked his neck. Titus' hands and feet became engulfed in flames. He jumped up on to one of the lamp post overhangs and started to swing. The metal was starting to melt so he had to act fast. Titus let go on the upswing and started flipping in the air until he stopped himself. He made a patch of fire by Neos left foot causing him to fall to the ground. Neo used his powers to make a girder fly right past his foot he kicked it up. It flew threw the air and caught Titus' right shoulder causing him to spin.
****Well that's the end of chapter 2. Yeah I'm going to milk out this fight for another chapter. Post reviews if you want to see it continue because I'm kind of thinking about abandoning it. ****
