Chapter 8 - Chap.8: Grand Bout

(POV GENERAL)

Seeing this scene with his phone in hand just finish the loading sequence began to ask the standard questions of identification only to for its questions to fall upon deaf ears. "Hitler on a Dinosaur" was what played in Elias' mind as the familiar meme surfaced. Then Elias clearly losing it due to sleep shook it off seeing instead a muscular man he knew as Aquaman Riding on top of a Green Plesioth. People began to panic and run away from the creature screaming out for help calling upon the Green Lantern.

Hearing the screams Elias head began to rush with blood as the sight of a horrifying creature he'd once see in a video game come to life then again was this fear of the unknown or excitement for a new beginning. Hard to tell it was especially for someone of Elias' background, but with that sudden relapse of thought Elias agin snapped out of it seeing Aquaman drive the Plesioth into building after building watching its blade like fins easily cut through like scissors to paper.

Aquaman to his justice beloved anything was worth victory accept his people however surfaced dwellers didn't fall into that category so the destruction of buildings mattered little. The Plesioth also had no care for earthly possessions as it only had the urge to survive and kill for food when nessasary. That's why the Plesioth brought Aquaman into the city not hoping to gain an advantage as he did slow upon land thanks to its wings not by much yet the Aquaman still caught up to it.

The fight only seemed to worsen the city as it continued with more property damage the second and injuries of the human race as well. Unsure of how to proceed Elias sighed and simply ran forward no plan in mind only goal was to help worsen the damage. With Sappy's ability to mildly fly Elias used it for another reason to skip. With every step and force made behind him the wind caught his wings and began to project Elias forward not exactly flight, but also not exactly running either. With practice Elias has mastered a simple skill he called 'Wind Walk.' As a small thank you towards Sappy's powers and insight when regarding using them.

While Elias used his Wind Walk Aquaman began to wrestle the creature down to the earth. Currently on its back Aquaman began to run off the Pleisoth's spine following its physiology to its most center joint and with Trident in hand began to pierce downward stabbing it. With a pained roar the Pleisoth fell into the ground scratching the pavemented roads causing more irreparable damage. Yet Aquaman cared little as the force of Newton took action gravel and anything on it began to dislodge from the street and fly off the road to the sides going up, right, and left. 

The first of the debris was a stop sign which face planted itself into Aquaman causing him to lose grip over his Trident knocking himself off and earning his fair share of road burns. Following Aquaman's ejections gravel and rocks of considerable size flew off and then the most daring object took flight a maroon GMC flew up and away slowly beginning its decision. The GMC returning to the ground began to spiral further down the street at a faster pace than the Plesioth folding and flipping towards a man taking on the fourth motion of action Freeze. Coming to hope for the best the man stood still thinking everything would be fine as long as he didn't move. Yet the GMC continued to roll yes it did decrease in speed but its threat was still there. 

Suddenly an explosion took place from the truck turning the once flipping ball of metal destruction to turn into flames and be pushed out the way of the civilian. Seeing the marvel in action the citizen couldn't help but stare at the still burning truck and then followed the direction in which a crimson pillar of light came from. Towards his right the citizen saw a man in a European Plague Doctor get up with a scarred hat over his head and brown briefcase in hand. What the citizen didn't see was how weakened Elias was as yes the powers he wields don't trie him but his own stamina does a fitting price until a better option is found was Elias mindset.

Which was now being revisited due to this close up of life and death. Seeing the citizen safe Elias looked back to the duo seeing that the Pleisoth was on its feet yet refused to fly as the Trident still remained stabbed in its wings center joint. Which provided the very flight it needed to escape. Seeing his advantage on the land Aquaman smiled like a crazed warrior wanting blood as his and the beasts have been shared and he wanted more.

Hungered scream thrived from Aquaman escaped him as he jumped with incredible distance jumping high enough forgetting his opponents attack pattern's where a geyser of water began to fire as Aquaman brought his hand and hook back with an enraged scream following it. Yet an oddity happened a third entity interfered in the fight a beam of blue crackling light fired right between the duo hitting its alleged mark being the water itself. With its collision the very prseuized water attack began to solidify into ice and with that added a stronger force knocking Aquaman away as the broken ice fell back to the earth like snow.

The Plesioth still standing looked to the source of interference spotting another human one trapped in black with a bird mask over his face. Elias stood squarely about twenty feet away from the creature locking eyes both began to analyze each other while Aquaman was indisposed. Seeing this an easy meal ticket the Plesioth ran forward with an invigoration unlike before as it hungered for meat. Seeing the unstoppable force Elias utilized his unstoppable object unlatching his briefcase revealing its bottomless insides. Yet the Plesioth never registered it as it thought this human was scared.

"Don't take my prize wizard!" Screamed an enraged Atlantean jumping from his icy rubble kneeing the very prize he demanded the Plesioth. Feeling its neck being kneed at such strength and speed the Plesioth related a water based attack weaker than its usual yet still powerful shot forward thankfully being dispersed within the case. The force however pushed Elias backward feeling the friction against the ground and his boots. Elias softly cursed Aquaman's interference calling back "I won't let you!" 

As the declaration made Elias relied again on his Wind Walk relying solely on his adrenaline. Which now spiked as the situation worsened more than Elias could've foretold. With Aquaman's secured hit the Plesioth was knocked back jolting its head momentarily before fighting back with its own kinetic energy sending Aquaman back the direction he came firing him like a cannon ball into a building which now had a human sized hole. Seeing the flying Atlantean Elias turned back to the Plesioth too late as he too was launched not by the Plesioth's neck however, but by its tail.

With its jagged ends of its scales the Plesioth was able to scar Elias also knocking him back where instead of cratering a building Elias flew through glass until his body landed right into a clerks desk. Feeling his pain shake him limp Elias coughed up little blood that now stained the inside of his mask as his very suit repelled most of the damage. Outside roars and screams began to ensue again but not from the citizens as most if not all escaped. No these noises were from the duo fighting outside.

Hearing them outside Elias grew worried causing his doubt to worsen him "Can I stop this?" "Can I save them?" "Can I even get up?" These thoughts plagued him ironic for his choice of dress. Yet then through a motion of doubt a noise appeared familiar yet distant. Elias wasn't sure about it until a woman voice echoed "Now reporting live it seems the monster of Coastal Cites bay has been revealed to my knowledge as a sea serpent and stopping it is a simple man with the only thing known about him is his fish hook for a hand." Hearing the voice Elias turned his masked face to his right seeing a battered yet still working tv showing the reporter and a sky view of the battle. 

"No…." Thinking the worst Elias began to again rely on his adrenaline as his body told him to stop yet Elias persisted. One step up yet still knee down Elias began to think about the families of those who'd be affected the anguish they'd feel became his full making him take yet another step now standing. Feeling the pain of not just this city but of future ones as their definitely existed more creatures equal if not worse than this and took another step. Elias then began to remember something a flash of a distant memory of him with his father of his past life.

It was of young Simon crying over a bloodied knee after falling off a bike. Simon continued to cry till his father appeared asking what was wrong yet was met with his answer after seeing both his son and the bike together. With but a single moment Simon's father picked him up smiling as he stared at his son's teared eyes which suddenly began to dry. "Simon feel better?" Simon looked to down averting his gaze as he looked to the source of his pain and whimpered a response. "…..No." Hearing his son Simon's father placed him back down this time on his knee as he comforted him "It's hard isn't it?" Simon's father asked a question yet before young Simon could whimper an answer his father answered his own question "Growth can be that way. Growth doesn't happen within comfort. Every time life knocks you down, it's just another chance for you to come back stronger. Progress isn't about winning once, it's about refusing to stop evolving...." Simon's Father allowed his words to instill in his son who didn't know their meaning now but knew one day would and knowing his son. He'd know he'd win no matter the odds.

Feeling unknown emotions swell within him Elias still standing. Ran outside the building seeing the rampaging duo and then something clicked inside Elias from somewhere he didn't know he had but acted upon it still. Using his Wind Walk and an invigorated spirit Elias charged seeing the two monsters fight it out. With a simple hand gesture Elias fired a blue blast of light his gift from Gabumon Blue blaster. Yet this time it seemed more controlled and powerful than before when it simply froze the Plesioth geyser attack. This seemingly bolt of ice had the swiftness of lighting as it jumped towards Aquaman and the Plesioth. 

Unaware of the incoming attack Aquaman began to simply punch and stab the Plesioth until it was either bloodied or unrecognizable to begin with. While the Plesioth itself roared in pain as its head bobbled around until it spotted a flying mechanical bird with wings that spun. Thinking the beast could provide a distraction a geyser of water was shot hoping to buy a moment of distraction as its tail moved to swat away this persistent ant. The pressurized water flew unceremoniously along the air yet something happened as the battle was recorded the very attack that carried all the Plesioth's hopes sizzled into steam.
