Serene had started to throw knives at aster, but he had just kept dodging them, the stranger jumped at aster, missing Aster completely and cracking the roof a bit,

“hey asshole, don’t damage the building”, aster stated, punching him right on his jaw, sending him flying back to where serene was,

They had been fighting for about two minutes or so, and aster had started to become really annoyed, he kept dodging the knives serene was throwing as he was also dodging all the punches and kicks that the stranger had been throwing at him,

"I've had just about enough of this", aster shouted out at the two of them,

“oh really, well I’m just getting started”, serene shouted,

Jumping back to the opposite end of the rooftop, she reached behind her back, revealing six knives, holding three in each hand, she launched all of them the same time, the knives made and arching motion on each side of Aster, as they all were aiming for his head

Aster stomped his foot on the rooftop, causing two walls of concrete to emerge from the roof, shortly after the sharp sudden sound of the knives hitting the two walls could be heard,

“oh it seems like you’re finally trying serene”, Aster said,

“But I hope you didn’t think I was powerless without my hammer”, Aster said, the confidence in his voice growing

when out of no where a knife came around the wall that he had made, Aster bent backwards, the knife grazing his hair, as he narrowly dodged it,

“oh you’ve gotten a lot better, Where’d you learn that move ,you’re actually catching me off guard”, Aster commented,

But before he could say anything else he sensed her partner behind him, Aster turned to face him, jumping back but it wasn’t far enough, He gave aster a kick to his chest that sent him flying towards the edge of the roof,

"Oh this is now starting to get interesting" aster said smirking to himself,

Aster put his hand on the ground and the entire building began to rumble...then it began to violently shake,

inside the bar

“those boys must be at it again, luckily either no one cares or is to drunk to care”, aster’s uncle stated,

That’s when he saw Aster’s hammer, rise from within the ground and phase through the rough, he held his palm to his head, with a slight look of annoyance on his face he thought to himself,

‘i’m gonna have a serious talk with him later’

back on the roof

"You’ve lost it....are you trying to destroy the entire building you jackass" serene asked, losing her balance and falling to the ground,

Aster began to stand up and he stood up his war hammer came up out of the roof with him, he took his hammer in his hand, and the building stopped shaking,

Aster pointed the hammer at the stranger, but before the stranger could react aster was behind him and in mid swing,

“too slow”, Aster said,

The hammer hit the stranger and sent him flying off the roof and into the building across from it, aster looked at the damage he had caused and smiled to himself,

“well hopefully he’s taken care of, Now for serene”, Aster said,

Aster turned his attention to serene, she realized and had a panicked look on her face, aster silently walked over towards her, she was frozen in fear, unable to move, raising his hammer over her head and she fell backwards and raised her hands to cover her face in fear of being hit, but aster had just dropped his hammer at her feet,

"I don't know if I'm an idiot or if something is seriously wrong with me, but I won't ever hit you or cause you harm, sadly I still have a soft spot for you in my heart”, Aster said, looking down at her with a soft warmth in his eyes,

“so take your new found friend and lea..." aster was interrupted when a chain flew pass his face, causing him to jump back,

"Don’t you harm a hair on her head haven't you abused her enough, haven't you destroyed her enough" the stranger shouted at aster,

Aster looked down at serene, the soft warmth had faded from his eyes, and what replaced it was a familiar look serene had seen many times before, it was the look he had whenever he was working as an enforcer for his family,

“What did you tell him ?”, Aster said calmly,

“Only what he needed to hear, some men will believe anything a women tells them once it is accompanied with tears”, Serene said,

Aster slowly turned towards the Serene’s partner, "If you seriously believe that I did her anything you are delusional, even when she was attacking me this whole time I never retaliated" aster retorted,

The stranger retracted the chain, reeling back and launching it again, aster was preparing to block the attack, when, the chain stopped and started to melt, then all of a sudden Levant landed in front of aster,

"So you were just gonna fight both of them and not call any of us ?" Levant asked aster, without even looking back at him,

“I had it under control Lev”, Aster said,

"Just because there's two of you now that doesn't mean you can stop us" serene said scorning at aster,

"Fucking serene, I never did like you, just saying" Levant said pointing one of his guns at her,

The stranger rushed forward at Levant, but Levant jumped over him at the same time serene threw four knives at him, Levant looked surprised, but the a wall of ice appeared in front of him,

"Always to fast to jump into action aren't you levant" polaris remarked as he floated next to the building on a platform of ice,

"Oh great another one is here" serene said as she started to back away,

"Oh the witch that broke Aster’s heart made herself convenient for me to severely maim" polaris said drawing his sword,

Lightning flashed and then, THUD, she hit something, she turned around and there stood barak,

"After that little stunt you pulled had the entire block shaking not just the building" Barak said to aster,

Barak drew his sword, which made serene back away, she and the stranger were surrounded by the boys and had nowhere to go,

"Barak, Polaris, Levant let her go, let serene go" aster said,

Levant looked around,"she tried to kill you and you expect us to let her go" Levant shouted,

"YES, now let her go" aster shouted back,

Barak stood to the side and sheathed his sword, while remarking, "your too soft on her",

"I know, but can you blame me" aster said shrugging his shoulders and throwing his hands In The air,

Aster picked up his hammer,

"Which is why I'm gonna do this" aster said,

He appeared behind the stranger before he could leave and put him on his hands and knees, aster lifted his hammer in the air and swung down all his might completely destroying the strangers arm,

"NOOOOOO" he shouted put in pain as his arm was completely broken and destroyed,

Aster threw him towards serene, she looked down at her partner, she had a look of shock and disgust on her face,

“now leave and don’t bring him anywhere close to me again”, Aster said, turning around to head down the fire escape,

“wait Aster, I have a question for her”, Polaris, stated,

“ why did you decide to reappear in front of him ?”, polaris asked serene,

“why should I tell you anything”, serene shouted back to him,

“why, because, while I won’t harm you, I will kill him”, polaris said pointing towards, her partner,

serene looked down at her feet once more, she let out a disappointed sigh, Aster stopped at the top of the fire escape, his ears perked up, interested to hear her answer,

“i just happened to be in town on other business and decided to pay him a visit”, Serene answered,

“oh what other business”, polaris inquired,

however before serene could answer, Levant spoke up,

“that’s enough Pol, lets leave”, Levant stated to polaris,

“hold on Lev let her speak”, Aster said,

“continue serene”, Aster said,

“lets just say I ‘m here looking for someone on behalf of the people I work for now”, serene said,

“ohh I guess that’s where you picked up that knife bending trick”, Aster said,

“you can go now”, Aster finished as he walked down the fire escape,

Serene picked up her partner, as he limped next to her holding his arm, serene looked back at the three boys that stood there as she stood at the edge of the rooftop,

“don’t worry I’m sure I’ll be seeing you boys soon”, serene said, as she and her partner jumped down into the dark alleyway below,

Soon after the rooftop door flew open, hitting the wall and echoing loudly, As kyn walked through, his glasses foggy, and his teeth grinding on one another,

“ASTER”, kyn shouted,

“ohh shit Kyn is pissed, I’m out”, Levant said, running down the fire escpae,

“bye Kyn”, the other two boys shouted in unison as they followed behind Levant,

“uggghh, those boys, I swear to junorra, I’m gonna skin all four of them alive”, Kyn said, slamming the rooftop door and walking back inside, instantly regaining his composure from before,

and with that the four boys left to head home.
