Okay, guys, here we go for probably the best fight in this story; Duke vs the Fearus 2nd round!

Chapter 24

Duke was flying quickly through the jungle at the Fearus's pursuit.

Spacetime: "Calm down, Duke!"

Duke: "Calm down?! Let me tell you when I'm gonna calm down; when I will get my wings on this ****** of Fearus!"

He said angrily without losing his speed.

Ultimate: "There, Duke!"

Indeed, the Fearus was standing in a open area out of the jungle.

Without losing another second, Duke flew toward her.

Then, he landed on the ground, not too far from the goddess of fear.

Fearus: "You came to me?"

Duke: "Yeah; I like to finish what I've begun!"

The Fearus chuckled.

Fearus: "Yeah; I like that too."

She said with putting herself in a fighting position as did Duke.

Spacetime: "Be careful, Duke."

This last one looked at her with a smile.

Duke: "You know me, Spacetime."

Suddenly, the Fearus charged and Duke did too.

(Vortal Kombat begin to play)

As soon as the two opponents arrived to each other, they begun a jet of punches and kicks.

The Fearus was using her goddess force for the fight while Duke was using Kyokushin and Kung Fu moves which the two birds managed to dodge and block anyway.

Finally, the hard confrontation ended with the Fearus missing a move and receiving an elbow smash from Duke in the face, sending her a few meters away.

She landed on her feet and whipped some blood on her beak with her wing.

Fearus: "You're pretty good with hand-to-hand fight, aren't ya?"

Duke smiled.

Duke: "Years of training are paying!"

Fearus: "True. What about we put the fight's level higher?"

She said with making appear a sword red and black, like the Fearus, in her wing.

Duke: "Sounds fun."

He said with making appear his blue energy sword in his wings.

Then, the two birds engaged themselves into a sword fight.

Even though the Fearus was strong at sword fight, it wasn't enough compared to Duke's rage after Bia's death.

She could feel each inches of his rage in the energy impacts of his sword against hers.

Finally, Duke managed to send her sword flying away into a tree.

Duke: "Not so good as you though, right?"

Suddenly, she flew back and send many fear balls at Duke.

This last one quickly putted his sword in his inventory and grabbed two beretas in his wings with which he unleashed a storms of shoots to destroy the fear balls.

Afterward, the two opponents landed on their feet and Duke putted his guns back in his inventory before going back on a fighting position.

The Fearus smiled.

Fearus: "I was wrong; you're really strong."

Duke looked curiously.

Duke: "You didn't though it the first time we met?"

Fearus: "True, but it was different; I wasn't using my full power!"

She said suddenly lifting one of her wings above her head.

Ultimate: "Look out, Duke; she's preparing something!"

Duke: "Thank you, but I've noticed it."

He sarcastically said.

Suddenly, the Fearus shot a black and red beam above her which exploded in the air to make appear a huge black dome all around them.

Duke looked everywhere, only seeing endless dark and the Fearus.

Duke: "What the...What is that?!"

The Fearus smiled.

Fearus: "Welcome into the fear zone, where nobody ever escaped alive!"

Duke looked at her in shock.

Suddenly, she made some moves with her wings and a jet of black and red snakes jumped out of the ground toward Duke.

This last one quickly sends a blue beam at them which destroyed them instantly.

Unfortunately, the Fearus took advantage of this distraction to appear in front of Duke and, before he could do anything, smashed him in the face with her palm, sending him a few meters away.

He landed on his feet and whipped some blood of his beak with his wings.

Fearus: "Stupid."

Suddenly, Duke shoot two blue energy balls at the Fearus which she dodged easily by flying in the air.

Fearus: "Missed."

Then, Duke grabbed his two beretas and shoot quickly at the goddess.

This last one blocked all the shoots with a fear shield.

Once Duke stopped shooting and regained his guns, the Fearus flew down to the ground.

Then, she lifted one wing and shoot a fear beam which touched directly Duke, sending him away.

He slowly went back on his feet.

She noticed that Duke was trembling, making her chuckling.

Fearus: "You must really have used all your ressources; you're trembling in fear. *laugh*"

Suddenly, Duke smiled.

Duke: "If I'm trembling, it's not in fear... but in excitation!"

The Fearus looked at him with a curious look.

Fearus: "What?!"

Duke then looked at Ultimate (who is a red mist figure by the way) with a smile.

Duke: "Ultimate! Give your power to my body and give me the strength to finish her!"

Ultimate smiled and entered Duke who begun moaning in pain.

Suddenly, a big red mist appeared all over Duke, making the Fearus loosing her view on him.

Then, after a whole minute, the red mist disappeared and Duke was becoming more and more visible.

Suddenly, the Fearus gasped as her enemy wasn't the same as he was a minute ago.

Duke was now in his human for, like in the chapter in which he appeared, except that his clothes were now completely black and his eyes were blood red.

Fearus: "W-What? Who are you?!"

Duke: "I'm Duke and this is my Ultimate form!"

He was speaking with a demon voice.

The Fearus trembled in fear as Duke's force was higher than before.

Fearus: (But, this appearance, this force and... could it be...)

Duke: "Yes!"

He said, reading on the goddess's face.

(Armoured titan theme begins to play)

Duke: "I'M DUKE! THE ANGELUS'S OLD NEMESIS! AND THE FORMER POSSESSOR OF THE DARKNESS! MEMBER OF THE RESISTANCE AND PROTECTOR OF BLU'S FAMILY!"

Suddenly, he made a huge power explosion which destroyed the fear zone, bringing them back into the Amazon.

The Fearus was looking in shock.

Fearus: "What?! Impossible! Nobody ever destroyed the fear zone!"

Duke: "Well, everything have a starting."

In desperation, the Fearus shoot a fear beam at Duke which touched his shoulder.

Duke: "Hehehehe! That tickles!"

The Fearus was horrified by his resistance.

Fearus: (I'm dead!)

Suddenly, Duke appeared right in front of the Fearus and smashed her so hard that he sends her flying very high in the sky.

Duke: "TIME TO FINISH THIS BULLS***!"

He said with charging a lot of energy in his arms before shooting a huge light blue beam toward the flying Fearus.

This last one was touched by the powerful laser and immediately disintegrated.

The blue beam even went in the space (A little like Dragon Ball Z).

Back on earth, Duke was breathing heavily, exhausted by his last attack.

He then went back on his bird form and ended his Ultimate one.

Duke: "Geez! That was too much fun!"

Spacetime went next to him.

Spacetime: "Do you want me to heal you?"

Duke: "No thanks, Spacetime; I'm okay, just a little tired."

Suddenly, Ultimate came into the place.

Ultimate: "Well, you'll rest up later; there's still goddesses to defeat!"

Duke: "Right; let's go!"

He said with flying away.
