Bab 38: Close call with Death

While making sure to keep an eye on the duo in front of him, Alaukik erected a barrier around Vinay, while simultaneously moulding space and creating a sword for himself. Seeing this, the man who previously spoke said,

"Like I said, Mr.Alaukik, we won't hurt your little friend. All we want is you! So why don't we just peacefully talk and come to a settlement? Here, to show our sincerity, my name is Troy and my twin brother here is Droy. It'll be faster for the both of u-"

And yet, before he could finish his sentence, Alaukik once again teleported behind the duo, trying to stab them in the waist, and yet, once again, he was blocked by Droy, who created a round shield to block his sword. Seeing this, Alaukik immediately teleported away from them, appearing 50 metres away. Once again he began staring at them, trying to find their weakness.

'If they have powers similar to mine, how do I beat them? Making my weapons sharper to pierce their shields? Or maybe I just exhaust them to death? No, I won't last in a long fight, I can already feel myself slowly losing control over my powers. Sh*t, this had to happen at the worst timings,' Alaukik thought, while Troy continued speaking like nothing happened,

"-s. *Sigh* It seems like you will not be convinced in this way Mr.Alaukik. Brother, looks like we will have to show Mr.Alaukik here that he really should listen to what we're saying," saying which, Troy hit his chest, as if showing his strength, and then immediately created a barrier and a sword. Seeing him, Droy did the same, creating a barrier around himself and a spear in his hand. Immediately, both of them teleported to Alaukik, and attacked him, Troy bringing down his sword from above while Droy sweeping his spear at Alaukik's waist. Blocking Troy's attack with his sword, Alaukik created a shield and blocked Droy's spear with his other hand, immediately teleporting away to avoid being sandwiched between them. And yet, when he tried to teleport away, he realised that for some reason, he couldn't. But before he could think of what to do next, the twin's next attack came. This time, both of them used a hammer, bringing it down on Alaukik's head with immense force. Seeing this, Alaukik instinctually placed his shield above his head, and yet, the shock of blocking that attack still hurt his body. However, not wasting any time, Alaukik slashed at the duo's chest, successfully piercing their barrier and cutting into their chest. However, before his cut could go deeper, they both teleported away. Reappearing a 100 metres away, Troy stared at the cut on his chest in awe, before asking Alaukik,

"How did you do it? The current you should not be capable of this! How?"

"Do you think I would tell you how?" Alaukik replied, before creating a dozen arrows floating behind him, before sending them towards the brothers. Seeing this, the brothers teleported away to dodge, however, Alaukik was ready for that. He had already torn space, and was just waiting for the brothers to do the same, so that when they did, he could quickly follow and attack them when they weren't ready. And so, before the brothers could stabilise their footing after their teleportation, Alaukik had already stabbed his spear from behind Troy. Aiming for his head this time, Alaukik was confident that this attack would hit. And yet, before it could, Droy appeared in the middle, once again blocking his attack with a shield, although Alaukik's spear pierced through that spear and successfully wounded Droy's hand. However, before teleporting away, Alaukik felt sudden pain in his waist, and when he looked down, he realised that the area beside his stomach had been pierced by Troy's spear. It turns out that when Alaukik had torn space, the duo had already noticed and with their immense combat experience, were able to guess what Alaukik's plan was. This, along with their tacit understanding, led to Droy blocking Alaukik's attack and Troy using this opportunity to wound Alaukik. However, before Troy could push in the spear, Alaukik was able to teleport away from the duo.

Standing about 150 metres away from the duo, Alaukik looked down to his stomach, and saw that it was bleeding quite a lot. To stop this, he literally just clogged the stab wound with space, while simultaneously analysing the brothers,

"Just now, when I tried to teleport, I felt that the area between Troy and Droy was an area I couldn't sense. Does that mean that teleportation into and out of the area they surround is not possible? But how are they doing it? For some reason, it seems like this is not their own power, the way they wield it is just not as smooth as me…'

However, before he could think more, he felt a sudden pain in his mind, causing him to wince. Seeing this opportunity, the duo once again tried to surround Alaukika and attack him, however Alaukik, knowing this might happen, had already teleported away from there. Ending up staring at each other again, Alaukik and the duo paused a second, both of them trying to recover and thinking of a way to defeat/kill their opponent.

'The Doctor did not mention this! He did not tell me that this Alaukik would have a much higher mastery over space! He's even capable of vibrating individual particles of space to make their piercing power stronger! Even we can't do that! No, calm down. All we need to do is to wait it out, and he should eventually lose control. That would make this much easier, and we would be halfway finished with our mission,' thought Troy.

At the same time, Alaukik was thinking of something else entirely,

'I need to finish this fast. This wound just made things a lot worse for me. I need to end this fight now and then focus on controlling my powers. I don't have a choice. I need to use them.' Suddenly, Alaukik's wound stopped bleeding, and even seemed like it had started to heal again. And with this change, Alaukik's speed also increased, and as he teleported in front of the twins, the sudden increase in speed caught them off guard, allowing Alaukik to finally gain an edge over them, and successfully chopping off Droy's wrist, leaving him without a shield. Immediately after cutting it off, Alaukik teleported back away, not wanting to risk getting surrounded by the duo again. And while it might seem like it took a while, this all was done in under a second, so short in fact, that Droy realised his wrist was chopped off after Alaukik teleported away again. Barely a second later, Droy let out a guttural roar, and for some reason, Troy followed him, letting out a brutal scream of pain. Seeing this, the one thought going through Alaukik's mind was

'They can feel each other's pain? Do they share their other senses too? That could explain a lot. I would love to test that, but I don't have much time in this mod-'

But suddenly,

"HOW CAN YOU MANIPULATE TIME! THAT IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO!" Troy screamed.

"YOU SHOULD BARELY BE ABLE TO MANIPULATE SPACE! YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ACCESS TO TIME THIS EARLY!" he continued.

'What do we do?! This was not in the plan! The Doctor did not tell me that he can control time too! There is no choice, we will have to go for that now. It is the only thing we can do. If we leave without any results, the Doctor will not spare us,' and Troy's expression suddenly went solemn, and he quickly turned to Droy and said,

"Brother, we will have to use that."

Hearing this, Drow turned to his brother and for the first time, opened his mouth and said,

"Are you sure brother? You know what the consequences of doing this are."

"I know," replied Troy, "However, it will be better than dying at the Doctor's hands."

Hearing this, Droy suddenly shivered, and agreed to Troy's idea without any more hesitation. Suddenly, Troy and Droy looked at each other and then without any hesitation, shook hands with each other..?

Seeing this, Alaukik, who was all ready for some big move, suddenly felt lost. He looked at the two brothers shaking hands and thought,

'Have they decided to give up?'

And yet, before that thought could even settle in his mind, bright silver light shone from where the brothers stood and just a second later, instead of two people, there stood just one giant of a man. If the previous two twins were around 6'5" tall, this man was definitely 7 feet tall. With muscles lining every corner of his body, he looked like the embodiment of a God of war. And before Alaukik could figure out what in the world happened, this man immediately teleported in front of Alaukik and punched him in the gut so strongly Alaukik went flying away, and barely managed to gain control of himself before landing back on ground. Looking at what just hit him, Alaukik screamed in frustration,

"The hell?! When did Dragon Ball and Mahuoka have a crossover?! I want to report this! Tsutomu Sato! There is a glitch in your world! What the hell is that?!"

The giant, hearing all of this, replied,

"While I don't understand what you mean by the various terms you used, this is the power us twins were born with. We are able to sense what the other one is feeling, and can feel when the other is in danger. This combination technique is our final card, and has serious side effects. But anyways, you don't need to know that. You're not going to stay around for much longer after I'm done with you," saying which, the giant once again teleported in front of Alaukik, trying to punch Alaukik again. However, Alaukik managed to evade him in the last moments.

'His speed and power have increased greatly. He's even a bit faster than me in my accelerated state. He can even control space better. Sh*t sh*t sh*t, this is the worst situation for me. I'm going to have to end this in one blow if I want to survive now. I can't afford to take any more hits from him. The previous has caused quite a lot of internal damage to me, and while I can slow down the bleeding using my powers, it's getting harder and harder for me to control them. One attack. That is all I have at this point. I need to time it just right,' and as Alaukik was thinking through his next steps, the giant slowly got used to his powers, and then immediately went for the attack again. As he appeared in front of Alaukik again, instead of just punching him again, this time, he brought down a hammer he created and tried to squash Alaukik into paste. However, this time, instead of teleporting, Alaukik suddenly rolled underneath the gap between the giant's legs, while simultaneously using his powers to decelerate the giant's speed by 5 times. This allowed him enough time to fly* up to the giant's chest, and then raising his arm as far as it could go, Alaukik thrust his sword into the giant's chest. And yet, even after all he did, the giant still managed to move a tiny bit, just enough to make sure that the sword didn't run though his heart and instead just grazed it. Teleporting away from Alaukik, the giant clutched his chest in pain, and stumbled a bit. However, Alaukik wasn't any better. The constant strain from having to use his deceleration and acceleration on himself, deceleration on the giant, moulding space and his constantly degrading wounds has led to his control over his power to reach his limit. Any more and he might just snap, which he did not want to happen under any condition. And so, even while he was on the verge of breaking, he pretended to be fine, and said,

"Tch. Just a bit more and you would've died. So, Troy .. Droy? What should I call you? Want to go for another round?"

Hearing this, the giant said,

"Hmph, don't try to fool me. I know you're on the verge of losing control. But, it is the same for me, and this will take quite a lot of time to recover from.However, my mission is done here, and I no longer need to needlessly fight with you. One last thing, If I were you, I would be rushing to your Base at this point. I believe the army should have reached by now? Maybe they're already engaged in a brutal battle with your company…" And as the giant said that, he teleported away from there. And even though Alaukik could follow and chase after the giant, he did not, as he urgently required healing, and Vinay was the only one close by who could do that. As for what the giant said at the end, Alaukik just dismissed it as lies. After all, there was no way an army would be able to creep up on their Base undetected by any satellites. And so, Alaukik immediately teleported to where Vinay was, only to find that he had woken up somewhere along the fight, with neither him nor the twins noticing that.

"Major! What happened to you, Major?! Quick, let me heal you!" Vinay exclaimed, rushing over to where Alaukik appeared, drenched in blood.

"Hehe, thank you Vinay."

"What are you saying, Major? It is my duty to make sure that you are safe and sound," replied Vinay, hurriedly using his magic to speed up the natural healing of Alaukik's body. And so, Alaukik started focusing on his powers, and getting them under control. After half an hour, when Alaukik had been healed to a good degree, and he was able to not lose control of his powers, Alaukik decided to take Vinay away from here and back to the hotel where Lalita was.

A minute later**, in the hotel room.

Furiously pacing around the room, Lalita had a very worried expression on her face, and looked to be deep in thought when suddenly, she heard a thud and turned around to see two people appearing in the middle of the room, with one of them covered in blood, being supported by the other one, who also had some blood on him. Seeing these two, Lalita sighed in relief, before her expression became one of worry again.

Looking at Alaukik, she said

" We're in trouble Alaukik… Base Smaoi is under attack."

----------

A/N:

* = he didn't actually fly, he just 'stepped' on space

** = his teleportation became slower due to his injuries

Dammmm, this took me a while to write. Along with the fact that our university is conducting a fest, I ended up being very tired today. I even thought of not writing today, but no. Since I promised you guys a routine, then I will stick to that. No matter how small the chapter will be, I will post a chapter everyday from Monday to Friday.

Also, what are you thoughts on the fight as a whole? It's only my second time writing a fight scene, so do be forgiving. I also dropped some hidden details in their dialogue, did anyone notice those? What do you think? Pretty smart of me eh? To introduce some confusion and hints. ;)

And no, it is not the this Doctor, though in a way they might be similar (image in comment).

And as always, thank you for reading and have a great day ahead!
