Chapter 9: Ultima Black Lightn�

Black Lightn' finally reaches the Hyper Warrior state.

Chapter 9: Ultima Black Lightn’

 

Night fell over the dark city of Badlands and everyone hurried inside. It was as if they knew something was going to happen. There was a cold chill in the air and the dark cloud still inhabited the sky above. Surely, something bad would happen.

 

R.J felt the same way and called on Adam to join him in the final battle with Nefarious. He was confident that he could win. He just needed Adam to hold Erif off from double teaming him. They received no word from Matt. They figured he was either out studying or training. So they left him out of their plan.

 

The two met up after convincing their parents that they were going to be at a friend’s house again. They flew up into the sky and began their search. Just as they'd figured, there was trouble in the downtown area. Certain that it was Nefarious they flew down to check things out. It turned out to be a couple of thugs Nefarious sent to get their attention. They were directed to an old warehouse outside of town. The two were happy to accept the invitation to fight away from innocence.

 

Together they headed to the designated battlefield, trying one last time to contact Matt. They had no luck and continued on. Soon enough they reached the warehouse and began to walk inside. "Stop right there!" a voice said from atop the roof. It was Terra Erif, ready to fight again. "You will go no further; I have been sent to destroy you with my advance weaponry system."

 

"Z, you're the strongest," Shocker called out. "You go handle the other two, I'll deal with her!"

 

"Got it Shox," Zero replied as he ran inside. Erif flipped down and tried to capture Zero with an electric net but Shocker blasted it.

 

"Hey," he said with a little grin on his face. "Your fight's out here."

 

"I'll make quick work of you," she said pressing a button on her costume. Her costume became covered with metal plates. She flipped forward and shot out a laser from her power gloves. "Eat this!"

In a bright flash Shocker appeared behind her and covered her eyes. "Guess who," he said with a smile.

 

"Get off me!" she said flipping over. Shocker jumped up into the air and landed in front of her. "Stop messing around you little brat! Stand still or I'll destroy you!"

 

"Aren't you already trying to do that?" he asked.

 

"You think you're funny? Well we'll see who's laughing when I blast that little smile off your face."

 

"Blast?" Shocker said as he began to charge his left hand. "You mean like this?" He shot out a little blast that headed straight for her face. She leaped to the side to avoid the blast. Shocker moved his arm and the blast followed its movements. He directed it to follow Erif as she jumped and flipped all over. "You can't avoid it lady just stand still and accept it."

 

"You little monster," Erif said flipping over the blast. "I should've shot you when I first saw you t the museum."

 

"Wait what?" Shocker let the blast crash into a wall and started walking towards Erif. "You're that jerk police officer who tried to make us fall? And then tried to stop us from helping that old man?"

 

"Don't lie to me you little freak, you weren't there to help. You say you were but really all you want is glory and fame. That's all you so-called heroes want. I was a real hero, I did things by the book, by the law."

 

"Yeah well then what happened?"

 

"You b******s that what!"

 

"Listen you, I'm sick of you insulting me when I never did anything to you."

 

"You son of a b***h, you ruined me. You ruined my brother!"

 

"I warned you!" He dashed forward and punched her in the face, breaking through the metal. She was sent crashing through the walls and landed on her back. He rushed inside and punched her in the stomach. He was about to blast her when he realized that she was knocked out. "Sh-she wasn't even powered. That idiot attacked me when I was at least fifty times stronger than her. I almost killed her, almost."

 

Upstairs in the security room Nefarious and Terry Erif stood watching on the cameras. "She's been beaten again!" Erif said. "I told you my sister was too weak."

 

"Hmm, but you couldn't do much better if I sent you to fight the little ice brat," Nefarious replied.

 

"He'd freeze you and that'd be the end. I can't have that. No, I know what I will do. I'll reverse the effects of the gem."

 

"Reverse the what?"

 

"Yes, you'll still have your same strength but you'll be returned to your fiery state."

 

"Excellent! I'll burn the little runt and be back in ten minutes." Nefarious reached out his hands and placed them around Erif's head. Terry's hair began to wave up and his veins all over began to show. A bright light shot down on him and he was transformed into a large body of flames. He absorbed the flames with a smile on his face. His hair still waved as if it was flames itself and he created two small fireballs around his fists. He floated of down the halls to find Zero.

 

Coincidentally Zero was headed down the same hall and they came directly into view at the same time. "So, you decided to show up," Erif said.

 

"You're a hothead again?" Zero asked.

 

"My senses indicate that you're weak."

 

"Yeah well, not for long. Watch this." Zero balled his fists and began to gather up all of his energy. He was going to go "Hyper Warrior" again. His eyes began to turn blue and his hair began to rise up into short spikes. Temple veins began to show and his heartbeat sped up. The energy began to flow rapidly throughout his body and he found the outlet for the mass amount of energy to be screaming. "Huuuuuuu...haaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...huuuuu-haaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!" In a blast of energy his power exploded and surrounded him a vast field of frosty energy.

 

"Hmm, Nefarious told me of your little transformation," Flame Master said. "Fortunately, I've been training so that your little thing won't be affective. I am certain to be victorious here."

 

"Yeah...well let's...s-s-see about that," Zero said trying to catch his breath. He was short of breath and sweating like crazy. The technique took a lot of energy out of him even though it supplied him with a short burst of superb power. He needed to quickly get the fight over with before that burst was over.

 

He jumped forward and threw a punch, which Erif quickly dodged. He tried to kick Erif but his kick was avoided and Zero received a fierce flame ball to the ribs. He fell over backwards and flipped right up. He dashed forward to continue fighting. He launched a barrage of his most powerful punches and kicks but every attack was either blocked or dodged. Flame Master was matching his moves too well.

 

They went on in such a manner for two minutes until Zero jumped back to take a quick rest. He needed more energy; he was feeling weak. Shocker rushed in and flew over to assist Zero in battle. But Zero refused, he knew he had to fight alone. It wouldn't be right to jump Erif, even if was evil. That would only prove that he was too weak to defend himself. So Shocker stepped to the side to watch his friend battle. "I admire your courage," Flame Master complemented. "But pride is no place for a battle. Especially not one that you know you'll lose."

 

"Shut up and fight!" Zero replied as he jumped forward to blast Erif. The blast was swiftly avoided and a fireball was sent straight at Zero. Flame Master's attack was direct and Zero was too tired to escape it. He was shot back through one of the walls and landed in a storage room for small crates. He hid behind a stack of the crates and began contemplating on whether or not it was a good idea to go fight right away. But he was soon interrupted by a blast that sent hundreds of burning chunks of wood all over the place.

 

Zero jumped out and shot out a spiked ice ball. As it headed for Flame Master he prepared to hit it. But he was unaware of the fact that it would shoot out the spikes in an onslaught of little frozen spikes. Flame Master was shot back before he could try to melt the blasts. He crashed into a pile of crates and stood right up. Zero rushed in but his opponent flipped over him and shot him in the back.

 

Flame Master jumped up and shot out a multitude of fireballs that surrounded Zero and orbited around him. "It's time for you to burn," Flame Master said as Zero looked around seeing the forty-seven fireballs that surrounded him. "Comet crusher!" The fireballs all closed in from all directions, hitting Zero one by one. However in a last minute defense Zero managed to cover himself in a small field of ice. The damage done was only half of what was intended but Zero was still greatly injured.

Flame Master flew down and delivered an axe kick that sent him face first into the ground. Then Flame Master put on foot on Zero's back and the other on the back of his head. He stomped as hard as he could while he laughed at Zero's pain. "Hahahahaha hah," he laughed. "You foolish little boy. How could you ever have thought you could beat me? Now I'm going to destroy you and I'll have fun ripping your little friends limb from limb!"

 

Just before he stomped for the nineteenth time Flame Master was kicked in the face and sent crashing into the wall. Black Lightn' landed and faced him with a little smile on his face. "Watch this Zero," Black Lightn' said as he began to charge his energy. " Cause after him you're next." His eyes began to turn a bluish white and his hair began to rise up into short spikes. His veins began to show on his forehead and his muscles began to expand. His power level shot up to an extreme level and created a shield of sparking energy around him. The energy spun with such great force that the ground began to crack and shake.

 

"What?" Shocker asked as he ran in. "You're a Hyper Warrior too? I thought your life had to be in trouble to do that or something."

 

"Nope. I accomplished it through sheer determination and hate. I'd been training for weeks and still nothing. I was going to give up when I first heard that I'd been beaten to it by a mere clown but I trained anyways. Then so much began to go wrong and then I found myself drifting into darkness. While there I was able to let all my anger and frustration out in a sparking wave of power! I am ready to take my position as the elite warrior, Black Lightn'!"

 

 

"You weren't supposed to be able to do that," Erif said stepping back. "No, that was not to my knowledge! No matter, it is still a useless transformation. I'm far stronger than you, I just know it."

 

"Oh no, you're not strong at all. No longer are you a threat. I'm strong enough to kill you with one blast."

 

"No, no. Y-you're bluffing, y-y-you can't b-b-beat me! You're weak, I know it!"

 

"Ha ha ha, try me."

 

"Y-y-you...you die!" Flame Master shot out a fiery blast straight at Black Lightn'. A small smile came about his face as he watched the blast fly straight at Black Lightn'. Black Lightn' parried the blast away and flashed behind Erif. He grabbed Erif's arms and pulled them behind him as he forced his foot into Erif's back. Erif shouted in pain as Black Lightn' pulled as hard as he could. "Aaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Erif's arms broke off and ripped right from his body. The blood gushed forth as Erif fell to the ground and his arms shook in Black Lightn's hands.

 

Erif was on his face in excruciating pain as his veins and blood lay forth on the ground. His arms were released and they fell beside him. He looked up and almost passed out. Then he looked over to Black Lightn' and saw him smiling as he flew up higher into the air. "Watch now Erif, I don't think you'll find this next move in your knowledge either."

 

"No, this is impossible, you're not stronger than me! No!" Erif struggled as he slowly made his way to his feet. He started walking and then began to run off down the hall. He knew he couldn't beat Black Lightn' and wasn't foolish enough to try in his current condition. He ran as fast as he could and his fear was as evident as snow in a blizzard.

 

"Hm, I don't think you'll find this next move in your knowledge either Erif," Black Lightn' said as he put his arms out in front of him and began pulling electrons from the air. "Introducing Ultima Black Lightn's KillerWatt attack!" A large ball of energy formed at his hands and began to pull energy in at a faster rate. Erif ran and tried to escape from the impending doom he knew he'd face. "Welcome to annihilation!" He shot out a large blast that ripped through the air with great speed and immense power.

 

Erif didn't bother looking back, rather he tried his hardest to avoid that blast. But it was too large and too fast. Just the wind from it tore his skin and burned him beyond repair. When the blast finally caught him he was obliterated in an explosion of pure power! Erif was no more, and Black Lightn' floated to the ground. He truly was the strongest warrior, a warrior elite.
