Well, I think it's about time I returned to this story, it's been awhile. Anyways, I got nothing to say so, let's start!
Chapter 15 : How Many Conduits are in Empire City?
Izura's POV, 20 mins earlier
We decided to split up to cover more ground and we headed off in random directions. I was jumping across the rooftops when I saw someone hanging on a rope by their feet under a light pole. I stopped at the ledge and watched.
"He stole my food! Kill him!" Someone from the nearby crowd yelled.
"I probably shouldn't get involved in this. Alden's still running around and if he gets away, who knows what he'll do. I could cut him loose, or leave him here to rot." Izura thought in his head.
He decided and zapped the rope, cutting the man loose.
(Good Karma +)
"Everyone deserves a second chance." Izura said to himself.
I then continued across the rooftops, only to be stopped by another male, who was standing a few feet away from me. He has black hair in Dante's hairstyle, wearing a white jacket with a black question mark on the back, long baggy pants, black shades and white headphones around his neck.
"Who are you?" I asked.
The male gave me a smirk, "I go by many names, but you can call me Unknown."
"OK... well, I'm Izura." I introduced myself.
"If you don't mind, I would like to see what power you have. I can tell that you're a conduit also." He said.
"Geez. How many conduits are in this city?" I said to myself.
"Let's get started." Unknown said, getting into a battle stance.
"All right, I can spare a few mins." I agreed.
Normal POV
Unknown then sprinted at Izura and swung a right hook, which he ducked and countered with an uppercut to his chest. He stumbled back a bit before coming at him again. The two collided blow for blow until they both punched themselves in the face simultaneously. The two backed up a bit before Unknown's hair changed to a Phoenix Wright hairstyle colored blue, which he then fired icicles at Izura, who then ran across the ledge to avoid them. Unknown then summoned ice pillars across the rooftop, which Izura narrowly dodged by jumping off the roof into an alleyway.
"Hey!" Unknown called out as he chased Izura down below.
As he jumped, Izura was running to get some distance while firing fireballs at him and Unknown countered them by changing his hairstyle into a Raiden like style, as well as changed its color to white and fired some lightning bolts at the fireballs, each hit making a small explosion. Unknown then landed and fired some electric rockets at Izura, who again fired fireballs at the rockets, each one colliding with a slightly bigger explosion. Unknown sprinted to get in close while Izura then slammed his fists into the ground, sending a shockwave through the ground, the ground cracking in the process. Unknown avoided it by quickly climbing up a nearby loading crate.
"Impressive." Unknown commented.
He then changed his hairstyle back to ice and throws some ice javelins at Izura, who blocked them by pulling up a big piece of Earth like a shield. Izura then picked up the Earth shield and threw it at Unknown who crouched under the piece as it flew past him. The piece then broke into more pieces upon impact on the ground behind him.
"All right, I'm done." Izura said as he walked away.
Unknown was confused after he said that, "Huh?"
"I need to find Alden before he gets away." Izura called out at him.
"Wait up!" Unknown called back as he hopped off the crate and sprinted over to Izura.
"What?" Izura asked after Unknown caught up.
"I might as well join you." Unknown answered.
Izura was not really surprised, but he agreed, "All right. The more, the merrier."
Izura then got a call on his phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Izura, I got a lead on Alden. I'll place the location on your GPS." It was Cole.
"All right. On my way." He then hung up. "Let's go."
Unknown nodded in agreement as the two headed off to the destination.
Done! Sorry, another short one again. This time, Izura meets another conduit who wanted to test his power, which then leads up to another ally. What will happen next?... I don't know, I'm asking you. So, until then, I will see you in the next chapter, buh bye!
