TDZ Chapter 7
The intern dashed at them, they swung a punch straight at Trent.
The fist collided and knocked Trent back into a tree. "Ggh!"
"T-Trent! You ok!?" Dwayne shouted before the intern put his focus onto him.
"Eep!" Dwayne jumped.
"Gh.." Trent felt where he was punched, right in the stomach, he coughed a little blood. "D-damn…"
The intern swung a punch at Dwayne.
"Ah!" Dwayne fell into a fetal position, dodging it.
Trent kept his composure and held onto the pieces of his guitar "well let's go" He threw the pieces at the intern, hitting them in the head.
"Gh!" The intern fell back a bit.
Yeah, that's definitely a screwed guitar.
Dwayne crawled along the ground away from the intern, he went towards Trent.
The intern growled and dashed at the two again.
They ducked as they swung mid-dash.
"Ah! Seems I still got i- ah!" Dwayne lost balance and fell a bit, he crawled between the intern's legs to escape.
The intern grabbed one of Dwayne's ankles. "..."
"Dwayne!" Trent grabbed the intern and prepared a punch.
"Ah!" Dwayne struggled.
The intern glared at Dwayne and suddenly picked Dwayne up by the ankle and swung him straight into Trent, knocking them both to the ground.
"Gh!" Trent lands on top of Dwayne. "Y-you ok?"
"I-i don't know bud" Dwayne coughed a bit of blood.
The intern stared them down as they got closer.
There's no way we can get through this, can we…
"H-hey Trent… could I hear that singing voice one more time…? You know before we go?"
The intern grabbed Trent by the shirt and glowed.
Wait… singing! Maybe.. Maybe it isn't the guitar… it could be me.
Trent cleared his throat "alright… here we go!"
He started singing in a vocal range of Bass.
"Wow… you're so good! And de- ack!" Dwayne said in awe as he coughed more.
Both Trent and Dwayne felt weird energy around them.
The feeling loosened the tightness they felt as in pain. They felt like they could do anything.
I feel stronger… and really wild…amazing...
...let's go!
He sang a bit more and grabbed onto the intern's wrist. He pulled him off and gave out a kick at the intern's chest sending them down.
"Man I feel so good right now!" Trent smirked as he saw the intern fall.
Dwayne sprung up instantly. "Wow! I feel really really strong right now, I feel like I'm 20 again!"
"Whatever I did has boosted us!" Trent said.
Dwayne stood by Trent's side. "Alright, we can do this!"
The intern got up and looked at the two, then glowed again.
Trent whispered something into Dwayne's ear. Dwayne nodded.
The two then looked at the intern.
"Looks like you can't push us so much, man," Trent smirked.
"Hayah!" Dwayne opened his hands into a karate position. "I'm readyyy!"
Trent sweatdropped as he looked at Dwayne.
All three then dashed towards each other.
Dwayne tried to give a karate chop but the intern simply blocked him. Trent on the other side, however, landed a kick into the side of the intern's stomach, knocking them back.
The intern flinched before they focused more on Trent.
Dwayne saw the focus and ran off towards the apple tree.
The intern grabbed Trent's shirt and threw him to the ground.
"GhH!" Trent crashed into the ground and struggled in pain as he cracked his arm a bit. "J-jeez" He coughed.
It seems that it's only a power boost… I don't think it makes us durable.
Meanwhile, Dwayne ran to the apple tree. "Gh.. ghh g-getting exhausted" he jumped and grabbed an apple. "Alright alright," he started collecting more apples.
Trent struggled to get up a bit "ugh... They are so strong…" The intern walked up to him and kicked him down. "Gah!" Trent coughed a bit of blood. "W-what do you want…"
The intern simply stared down at him before they raised their foot, ready for a stomp.
Trent braced for impact.
…
"Gah!" Trent heard the sound of the intern in pain as suddenly an apple hits them in the head at a high velocity.
The intern fell back a bit and rubbed its head. They looked at where the apple came from.
They saw Dwayne standing there in a throwing position holding another apple. "Take that!"
The intern frowned at Dwayne and dashed towards preparing a punch.
Dwayne threw more apples, each zooming really fast and colliding.
One apple hit the intern straight in the temple. They fell down dazed.
"Yawee!- ghh!" Dwayne coughs a bit. "O-oh right still injured haha…"
"This isn't over yet Dwayne," Trent said as he struggled up.
Dwayne walked over and helped him up. "I know but I think we got the upper hand now." he smiled at him.
Trent smirked. "Yeah, man. We got this" He smiled back before he glanced down at the intern.
The intern got up slowly and glowed their usual colour.
"That glowing doesn't scare us anymore tough guy" Trent smirked.
"Haha yeah! You can still leave us alone you know! We'll let you go!" Dwayne added.
The intern simply stood there and observed them.
"Does this thing actually speak?" Trent asked.
"I haven't heard it speak so I don't think so…" Dwayne blinked.
The intern clenched its fist and they started glowing more and more, large amounts of energy started to flow through them.
"Ah!" Dwayne jumped back a bit. "W-What's going on"
"Looks like this may be the actual power of this intern." Trent frowned and got into a fighting stance.
Dwayne prepared a throw and then threw an apple at the currently powering up intern. The apple bounced off the aura. "Well, I'm out of ideas. Ahhhhhhhhh!" He ran back.
Trent sweatdropped and watched as the intern finished letting out a huge burst of energy, the intern now had a glowing white aura around them, their eyes now also white.
"Well looks like this is it," Dwayne said as he got back into a stance.
Trent nodded "Let's go!" He ran at the intern while Dwayne followed from the side.
They both dashed at each side of the intern with a punch but the intern simply cupped each fist with each of their hands. They picked both of them up and slammed them together before throwing them aside.
"Ack!" Trent landed on the ground before he slowly stood again. "I-i'm not down yet, you ok there Dwayne?"
"I-i think I see pineapples in the skyyyyy…" Dwayne landed on his head and looked dazed.
"Gh…" Trent ran towards the intern again and tried to go for a kick.
The intern simply dodged to the side and then punched Trent to the ground.
"Gah!" Trent fell down and coughed a bit of blood. "I… what... "
The intern walked and stood above him.
Trent frowned "Feels like we've done this before eh Dwayne?"
"Ringa ringo roses poses…." Dwayne blinked.
Trent sighed as he looked back at the intern.
"Hey you!" A familiar voice was heard.
The intern looked to the source of the voice and they saw a familiar face.
Noah stood there with some hay in his pocket. "Of course you had to arrive while I was gone…" he frowned and looked at Dwayne and Trent. "You guys ok?"
"S-Seen better days…" Trent coughed but smirked.
"And now the end is here and so I face that final curtainnnn" Dwayne blinked more.
"What uh…" Noah blinked.
"He hit his head a little too hard i think." Trent struggled but stood. He cleared his throat.
Noah looked at the intern in a bit of anger. "Look bud, I'd appreciate it if you stopped coming for us!"
The intern simply smirked at him.
"Gr... " Noah clenched his fists. He had flashbacks of his nightmare of emma. "I'm not doing this again…" His breathing started to get heavier.
"I... I'm getting so sick of this…" His breathing got heavier and heavier, he felt something inside of him.
"r-rraaAA!" He shouted in stress and suddenly the burst of energy was back around him, his white sparkling aura coming off from him.
Trent widened his eyes. "W-wow so this is it."
"You know I always wonder why you wait until I've done this before attacking, wouldn't it be easier to take me down when I'm not powered up?" Noah said.
The intern simply stared.
"Nothing huh… well that's fine honey, because the result I think will be the same," Noah smirked.
"You're sounding very confident here Noah" Trent smirked.
"I've got nothing to lose, I'm sick of them, I'll do anything." Noah frowned a little.
The energy coming off Noah blew back a few rocks and leaves around him. The intern watched as wind and energy blew off them.
"Even like this Trent, I don't think we can do this, not while your guitar is still broken," Noah said now filled with energy.
Trent smirked. "Oh I've got a new trick"
Noah looked at him curiously.
Trent cleared his throat more before singing in Bass. Noah and Trent felt bursts of power.
Noah's eyes widened. "W-woah I really do feel like something else," Noah smirked and then looked at Trent. "Can you still fight?"
Trent smirked. "I'm not in the best condition but I can fight. I'm ready"
Noah nodded and looked at the intern. "I think this is it. We're ready."
The duo dashed towards the intern.
Meanwhile, someone was on top of a tree just chilling.
"I see he has arrived. Now, this shall be fun," they smirked.
The intern jumped back as they gave their punches. They started circling around the area between trees.
The duo followed along.
"What are they doing…" Trent questioned.
"Looks like they are trying to set up something," Noah answered.
The intern's hands started glowing.
Noah's eyes widened. "I think they are about to do something.
They opened their hands and suddenly white energy balls shot out at them.
Noah's eyes opened but before he could react he got hit by the energy balls and flopped to the ground. "Gh!"
Trent still ran "Are you alright?"
"Do I look ok?" Noah frowned, coughed, and then popped his head up "Keep an eye."
The intern's hands started glowing again.
Trent kept his run but is slowing down "I… I can't keep the stamina man… gh."
The intern shot energy balls at Trent which struck him hard, he fell to the ground near Noah.
"They are too fast for us man… we can't catch up…" Trent coughed.
"I got one last plan" Noah struggled a bit.
The intern stopped their run and observed the two, they started glowing their hands again.
"What is it…" he frowned.
"So we need to slow him down, enough for a good hit from me... I think i know how to do it." Noah looked at him and crawled over a short distance. He cupped his hands and whispered something into Trent's ear. Trent nodded.
"Sounds crazy man but... Well, I got nothing else." Trent cleared his throat and started singing again in Bass.
The intern shot their energy balls at the two.
Noah stood up, his legs wobbling.
The only thing keeping me up right now is pure strength, very unhealthy… but it's all I got…
Trent did the same "gh.. This is pain."
They watched as the energy balls shot towards them.
Noah struggled and stood behind Trent.
"I-i'm ready," Trent said.
Noah with all his strength grabbed Trent and started lifting him, his aura started sparking out of control as he used more and more of his energy. "Ghhhh…" Noah lifted him up completely and delivered a massive throw using almost all of his energy.
Trent was sent flying towards the intern at full speed. "Woahhh!"
Meanwhile, each energy ball struck Noah, the area around him blowing up in white energy. "Gahh!" Noah's eyes widened and he fell unconscious.
The intern saw Trent coming straight at them, they couldn't react.
Trent prepared a punch and as soon as he got to the intern, he delivered a final huge punch, the punch setting off a sonic boom right at the intern's head, completely sending them down in one hit.
Trent after the punch however kept going and slammed into a tree. "Gahh!" he also fell unconscious.
The scene was dire, trees were down, there laid 4 bodies on the ground, rubble, and energy spewing everywhere.
The mysterious figure jumped down at the scene. "I didn't think I'd have to jump in so quickly but it happens." They said. The figure was in a dark cloak, covering their entire face, the only thing that could be seen is their blue eyes. They looked at Dwayne.
"Gh.. wowziieieieieeee" dwayne chuckled a bit in his daze.
The figure walked over and got out a strange liquid. They sat Dwayne up a bit and tilted his head back, putting the liquid into his mouth and forcing him to swallow. "This should do the trick."
Dwayne blinked and coughed a bit before they looked up at the figure. "Who… what…"
"No questions, for now, old man. Your friends are critical. You need to help them." They handed over two new liquids to Dwayne, each in glass bottles. "This won't save them, but it will prolong it. There's a doctor in Aendrikard. Take them there." The figure then started to dash away.
"W-wait! Who are you?" Dwayne blinked and started to stand, struggling a little.
"No questions." they dashed away.
"Wai-... gh…" Dwayne looked at Noah and Trent as they still laid on the ground. "It just keeps getting more crazy…"
"Let's get you guys somewhere safe and sound…"
