The fight continued, explosions of flames and black energy consuming the sky. Sōn throwing blows of flames that caused massive flames to spread accross the sky, Aramanite also engaged In the devastating hand to hand combat with Sōn, his black energy wrecking the sky and ground. The fight went on like this, neither of them slowing down, neither of them holding back their punches until Aramanite shot out a destructive orb at Sōn's face that resulted in creating another powerfull black bomb explosion in the air. Sōn, with his flames shooting out of his flaming armor, flew accross the wastelands, crashing and flipping accross large mountains. Aramanite flew after him, punching Sōn with devastating levels of energy. Each blow created more powerful explosion of black energy, black lightning scattering out of the blasts. Aramanite didn't stop, it's face was still grinning while destroying Sōn "AAAAAAAH!", was the sound it made when it was beating on him. Sōn couldn't fully keep up up with the blows being dealt to him, all he could do was block before Aramanite landed another devastating blow. The impact and the explosion from this blow stretched hundreds of kilometres into the air and the ground length, it's smile grew more unhinged. Out of the black explosion came Sōn's hand "TWENTY BILLION DEGREES: HELL WAVE!", he growled. A huge wave of flames shot out from Sōn's palms, flames spreading all over the wastelands. Mountains burned to the ground under this intense heat, Sōn used his fire power to push himself to stand upwards, he thought "This guy is obviously faster than I am, and his punches hit hard. Normally, I should be able to sense the heat from his attacks, but I don't feel any heat at all. What kind of energy is that?", he continued to think while his flames consumed everything around him "It's weird, it's not like as if I can't sense his energy. I have the ability to feel heat spikes as a result to my flames, but this is odd. His energy, it feels cold. Like I'm rubbing my body on metal.". Sōn stretched his arms apart, an excited and mad grin on his face "OH, WHO CARES?! IM SUPPOSED TO BEAT HIM, RIGHT.....?!", he prepared to jump forward "GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO!". Sōn launched himself forward like a rocket, trying to catch up to Aramanite. But from the distance, a black beam flashed out and flew his way. Sōn's eyes widened, shifting to the left in order to dodge whatever attack he had just sensed. An explosion of black energy had just set off beside him "HUH?!", Sōn was in disbelief. Another beam shot forward, blasting through his shoulder. Sōn screamed in pain due to his shoulder being completely blown off "AAAAAAAAAH!", he couldn't bere the pain. Aramanite was standing on a mountain, it's left black arm of energy turned into an energy cannon. Its grin never dissappeared, cirlcles of its energy appeared and started to rotate around his dark cannons. It's smile became more unhinged, firing another set of explosive and power beams at Sōn. The wastelands around them had turned into a land filled with non stop explosion. Black energy from Aramanite destroyed everything, they were also shooting at Sōn at relentless speeds, shooting through his body. His blood shot out from every angle of his body, Sōn screamed in pain, he couldn't bear the pain "AAAH! AHHHAHA!", his head was upside down when he was feeling all sorts of pain. He looked forward with a beastly grin, his eyes bleeding "YOU...! KEEPING YOUR DISTANCE WHILE TRYING TO BLOW ME APART?! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE.....", his flames increased in power and started to sky rocket. He yelled out, trying to complete his sentence "...PULLING A DEADLY TACTIC LIKE THAT ON MEEEE?!", Sōn flames grew more powerful. His flames were so powerful to the point that they were able to reduce the impact of the destructive orbs shot at him. Sōn, looking like a beats that came out from the deepest parts of hell, thought to himself "I've always been like this at my core. Since I was a kid, I've been wild and reckless. Depending on my combat and my raw flames. Even tho I wasn't necessarily a bad kid who'd bully others, I was still a wild one who enjoyed every bit of madness and violence. Especially when I started my journey as a young soldier.". Sōn remembered himself and Raquel at the time, standing infront of Tomoa "I'll be you both's squad leader. I'm Tomoa Takahama. I'll be given you two relentless combat training every day. I'll also be sending you on training missions. I hope the three of us can get along as teacher and students very well.". Sōn, still in this state of madness was still thinking "Tomoa was my adopted elder brother. Now that I think of it, he came in a few months after I stopped seeing Saito. Mom had also gone into a mental hospital at that time, everything came crashing down.", he continued to have his inner dialogue "But still, that didn't stop me from always training at all.". Sōn remembered sitting with his mother at a young age when she told him "Sōn, do you want to know something about me?", she asked. Sōn looked at his mom and asked "What is it, mom?", Suzuha explained "I've never liked war. Nor have I ever liked any sort of conflict. Unlike your father who doesn't mind violence at all, I really don't embrace it. I only fought and went on missions back then, because i was born in a world that didn't give me any other choice.", Suzuha continued to talk "They say power reflects who a person truly is. But to me, that's not true. I feel power is just something given to us to do whatever we want to do. How else would the world function?". Tears started to drop from her eyes, Sōn noticed this "Mommy, you're crying.", he said. Suzuha looked at Sōn with a smile while she cried "Sōn, I don't know the kind of life you'll live. But please, even if you're going to end up loving violence and war, at least know how to love as a person. Got it?". Sōn was standing on his two feet after remembering all that his mom had said to him when he was a child, his head was faced down while his flames just went wild without control "Mom told me to learn how to love as a person. That's good. I can definitely do that. But right now.....", he screamed with madness "IM DEFINITELY LOVING THIS BATTLE!". He shot forward at Aramanite who was fifty kilometres away from him "IM DEFINITELY GOING TO LOVE BURNING MY HAND THROUGH YOUR FACE YOU BASTARD!!", he yelled with deranged enjoyment
