Rain still fell, heavy and cold.
Grayson "Gray" Locke's fists were torn open, blood dripping on the cracked pavement.He wasn't afraid of anyone.Not gangs.Not abilities.Not monsters.
But facing Goo-Gun Null, reborn and emotionless…
For the first time in years, Gray felt his heartbeat slip.
Scene 1 — A Clash That Should Never Happen
Goo-Gun Null steps forward, golden-black eyes glowing.
Goo-Gun (cold):"You've become stronger, Grayson.Show me how much."
Gray spits blood and smirks.
Gray:"Tch. You vanish for ten years, come back from the dead…and your first words are 'fight me'?You really didn't change."
Goo-Gun says nothing.He raises a hand.
Suddenly—Gray's own ability aura appears around Goo-Gun.
Gray's Ability… copied.
Gray's eyes widen.
Gray:"You're copying me before the fight even starts?"
Goo-Gun:"I need to test the limits of my resurrection.And you…are the perfect test subject."
Scene 2 — Impact
They clash.
Not a normal clash—A shockwave rockets down the alley, shattering windows.
Gray's fist hits Goo-Gun's cheek—No joke, no counter-smile, just calculation.
Goo-Gun mimics Gray's exact punch…down to the angle, speed, force.
They hit each other at the same time.
BOOM.
Both get blown back.
Gray stands again, slower, breathing hard.
Gray:"Copy-Paste was annoying before…but now it's terrifying."
Goo-Gun steps through the dust.
Goo-Gun:"I'm not just copying power anymore.I copy intent.Movement.Future actions."
Gray blinks.
Gray:"You… copied my next move?"
Goo-Gun nods once.
Scene 3 — The Beast Awakens
Gray cracks his neck.
His aura surges — a silent pressure, like a wild animal that learned how to kill without sound.
Gray (low voice):"Fine…If you want a real test—I'll give you the Silent Beast."
He becomes fast.Almost invisible in movement.
But Goo-Gun's eyes track him perfectly.
Every step.Every shift in weight.Every breath.
Goo-Gun counters with mirrored perfection.
Gray launches a savage strike—
Goo-Gun blocks it exactly the same way Gray would block it.
This enrages Gray.
Gray:"STOP COPYING ME!"
Goo-Gun:"Then stop being predictable."
Scene 4 — Ending the Fight
Gray charges—
Goo-Gun suddenly stops copying.
His aura changes—Dark. Heavy.Like the world bends around him.
Goo-Gun (softly):"I know you're angry.But I didn't come to kill you."
Goo-Gun grabs Gray's fist mid-strike, gently almost.
Goo-Gun:"I came…because you're the only one leftwho remembers who I was."
Gray freezes.
The rain slows.
A single crack appears in Goo-Gun's emotionless expression—not a smile, not sadness…just pain he refuses to show.
Gray:"…You idiot.Welcome back."
Goo-Gun releases the fist.
Goo-Gun:"We have a war coming.And I need the Silent Beast at my side."
Gray laughs breathlessly.
Gray:"Then say it properly."
Goo-Gun slowly looks at him.
Goo-Gun:"…Gray.Fight with me."
Gray smirks.
Gray:"Now that's more like it."
They shake hands.
