《Rise (A superhero serial)》Chapter 11

I rocketed forward like a sting missile, firing consecutive explosions from my back to gain speed, I was in his face before he had time to react and swung an explosion powered haymaker toward his jaw. A triumphant grin spread across my face as I watched my hand move forward, fucker thought he was tough shit! Let’s see how tough he looks after I put him through a fucking wall. My smile was short lived however as right before my fist made contact the ground beneath shifted, pulling him away at lightning fast speeds.
I looked on slack jawed as the man who just a second before was about to be knocked the fuck out, was now standing several metres in front of me wearing a grin that was far too similar to my own for my liking.
“Did you really think it would be that easy asshole?” He sneered at me. “Nah, we gonna have some fun.” He smiled, and then everything went to shit.
Two spikes make of stone came out of the floor right below my feet spearing through my shoes and scoring to gashes on the soles of my feet before I had time to rocket jump away.
I landed and The Little Blood shifted forward again, moving the ground under his feet and keeping me in his range. Two clamps of rock formed around my ankles trapping me and began to squeeze, I could already feel my bones begin to creak even through my enhanced durability.
The little blood looked at me smugly, a look that was quickly destroyed just like his stone clamps when my entire body exploded into a ball of fire.
I looked around at the carnage I had dealt. The ground beneath me was cracked and covered in scorch marks as was most of the warehouse. As for The Little Blood, he was groaning as he attempted to rise from where he was thrown against the wall. This was my chance!

I rushed forward toward him at top speed, hoping to get to him before he could regain his senses and drive me off again. My hopes dashed when just before I reached the farthest most edge of his range he erupted into a storm of spikes making me backpedal franticly to avoid being impaled.
I stepped back a stalked around the edge of the spiked sphere, this continued for a few moments before the spikes were withdrawn inward and replaced by the diminutive form of The Little Blood now clad head to toe in armour made of stone.
“You hit hard boy I’ll give you that.” He panted stalling for time, time I wasn’t going to let him have I took a step forward but stopped when he raised his hand and spoke again. “Look, it appears we have a stalemate, you can’t get to me because of my spikes and I can’t get to you because of your explosions. So how about this, you let me walk out of here and I won’t kill you and everyone you have ever loved. Sound good.” He smiled at me and I just stared at him blankly, did he really think that I was just going to let him go after all he had done, fat chance. I steeled myself and prepared to charge him. He must have seen the change in my posture as he stiffened slightly and put his hands in front of him in a nervous gesture, “come on man, you don’t honestly care about what happened to those sluts do you? I mean come one, they were worthless scum, half of them volunteered to ‘work’ for me after I offered them some drugs.” I began to see red, this trash though he was above them, thought their lives meant nothing, I looked around at their faces still frozen in a mask of terror and panic as they bore witness to this battle, no one deserves to die like that. I looked back at The Little Blood, well maybe some people do.

As I tensed up to charge sirens wailed in the distance. The police! About fucking time, I looked back at my adversary to see him momentarily distracted by the sound of his impending capture, my time was now.
I shot forward as fast as a speeding bullet, and by the time he looked back at me I was already in his field and almost upon him, he began creating spikes as fast as he possibly could, and even though I was so close one still managed to score a large gash along my side. But none managed to drive me off and I smashed into him like the hand of god, doing what I fantasized about at the start of the fight, I put him through the fucking wall.
I loomed over his broken body, it was over those girls could finally rest in peace. The last thing I saw before I blacked out from blood loss was a police car driving up toward my prone form.

The Demonic Servant
When I first regained 'consciousness', I was but a broken being, my memories were mostly missing, and I was starving. As time passed, I survived by feeding on the souls of the deceased in this desolate hell, where only the dead live. And unfortunately, these dead are not the kind of dead that stays dead. Instead, they're mindless souls of all shapes, sizes and power whom roam this cursed home of mine. Name? I carry the names of millions upon millions of souls. Bob, Jerry, Askaram, Sara... Race? I devoured the souls of dragons, humans, devils and sentient rocks. As I lived... no, perhaps existed is a better world, I absorbed the memories, experiences, forbidden knowledge and devilish arts of many, many damned souls. After all, who could ever roam this forsaken land but the damned? Now, for the first time in eons, I am finally granted a sliver of hope. To escape this hell, I am willing to serve anyone. The question is, will they accept my servitude? [I don't own the cover. No idea who made it, just found it on google. Still, if you want me to remove it, just ask.]
