As Archie looked out at the crater, another explosive punch sent the woman flying.
Who is that?
Archie... That's the Ghost.
The old man looked out at the battlefield to see his grandson, overflowing with the essence of rage.
YOU KEEP HER NAME OUT OF YOUR DISGUSTING MOUTH!
The woman got to her feet as pieces of her armor fell off. Her son was hovering above her.
You have no idea how much these people had to suffer, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LOOK DOWN UPON THEM WHEN YOU AREN'T EVEN ON THE SAME LEVEL!
You'll regret speaking to me in that...
Before she could finish her sentence, the Ghost planted her into the ground with his fist, the ground shook violently with each hit.
Siding with Nazis? SIDING WITH ROTHSCHILD! ATTACKING MY FRIENDS AND COMING AFTER GRANDPA! WOW YOU REALLY MUST BE TRYING TO GET ME TO KILL YOU! I TOLD YOU THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT SHIT!
She released a fury of attacks, but the Ghost was prepared, unleashing a volley of punches.
For once, magic was being outpaced by sheer rage strength. The Ghost's punches caused sonic booms as he landed them, never giving her a moment to rest. Each time she dodged, he was ready with another fist screaming at her.
As they streaked across the sky, she for the first time in a long time felt fear. The Ghost's modified armor had the best pieces of every armor Juno had made for him. The Thunderscreech armor's twin engines causing hearing loss, the SR-72PA's thrusters providing speed, the ODPA's strength, and the Gen-One's power core with arm mounted cannon. He wasn't simply fighting her, he was fighting to end this decades old battle, once and for all.
As she hit the ground, she knew she would have to change tactic and fast if she wanted to win. She started to stand up, but the Ghost was there to slam her into a wall.
Admit it, you've lost.
Never.
She racked her brain for something to throw him off guard, something to get him to stop.
Grant me mercy! Please! I beg of you!
You? Who are without it, now plead for it? What happened to standing on principle?
Well on that subject... I must ask, who taught you to hit a woman?
The Ghost's fist stopped mist air, and she seized the opportunity to attack him, driving her blade into the Ghost's exposed shoulder and then within inches from his heart. As the Ghost fell to a knee, she kicks him over.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING AN ETERNITY FOR THIS! DARK ARMY HERE MY CALL! DESTROY THE CITY! KILL EVERYONE INSIDE!
The Ghost blasted towards them, blood pouring out of his armor as he unleashed hell upon the army rushing towards the city.
Something...You have yet to understand mother... I will always stand in your way.
