Chương 10: Phoenix

Madara stared them down as the more time he wasted the more time Jack could recover. Madara dashes toward Anna as he slides toward her, and as he gets closer he uses his arm muscles to push up, to kick Anna in the stomach.

Madara uses momentum as he kicks Anna in her chin, making u fall to the ground. Watching Jack heal himself angered Madara as he dashes toward Jack with the intent to kill him, but Anna comes in and blocks the attack.

Seeing that Anna wouldn't be able to fully fight him while she was protecting her brother, Madara sits down and waits. With his knee up and the other bent, and his forearm on his rises knee.

He watched their every move until they were finished healing. It took twenty minutes for Jack to completely heal himself. After he healed himself, Madara stood up and stretched. Knowing that it was going to be a rough battle, Madara didn't care, he always liked a challenge.

"After we kill the kid, we go home," Jack said to Anna who only nodded her head in response.

Anna shoots the same orange ball at Madara who only smirked. Madara knew that she wasn't aiming to hit him, she was trying to confuse him so Jack could hit him from his blind spot.

Madara already knew how fast Jack was so he was able to perfectly time when he was going to attack. When he did, Madara jumped up to be his height which was about 175cm.

He created the same orange ball and slammed it into Jacks' stomach. Jacks' eyes widened after seeing Madara use the same ability as the two of them.

"Jack!" Anna yelled as he was blown back from the force and heat when the orange ball exploded.

Anna tried to get to Jack, but Madara blocked her path because she had bigger things to worry about. Anna tries to hit Madara, but he dodges it with no effort.

"If you are weaker than the one over there, you cannot beat me. You will have a slow and painful death," Madara said as he kicked the side of Anna's' knee and when her legs were together, Madara's leg swept her.

As she is falling to the ground, Madara jumps up and grabs the sides of her head. He pulls his knee back, then plants it right in the center of her face.

Black liquid flies from her nose and mouth as a few teeth came put as well. Madara watched as her body dropped to the ground. Seeing that the two people the people that wanted to kill him and killed his teacher were now beaten by a child angered him.

"Beaten by a child. Whoever thought it was a good idea to choose you to capture me must have to have to serve brain damage. And, to think you were able to kill that geezer. Who does he think he is dying on me like that," Madara said thinking about how easily Reiner died.

The more Madara talked, the angrier they got because he was saying the truth. But what could they do? They could even land a single punch on him. That's when at the same time, they got the same idea.

They both jump u from where they were laying and began to attack Madara together. Madara continues to dodge their attacks with minimal effort.

The longer Madara fights with someone, the less of a chance his opponent has. Madaras' ability to adapt was inhuman. The longer Madara fought with them, Madara was able to figure out their weaknesses and how to exploit them.

Madara knew he could kill them right then and there, but he wanted them to realize they had no chance against them and their deaths would be slow.

'Damn it, it's like he knows where we're going to attack next. But that's ok, we have a plan.' Jack thought to himself with a smile.

Madara didn't like the look on his face, so he creates a ball of flames on the palm of his hands. Madara then smiles back at Jack as he threw the ball of fire into his face.

When Jack stopped fighting so did Anna which wasn't unusual. As Jacks' face healed, they both smiled at Madara, as they interlocked their fingers and started to merge.

The aura and mana coming off of them was something that Madara didn't expect. Now he has to take this seriously because they were giving off a foul aura.

When finished merging, they had long blonde hair with parts of their hair black. They were now taller and the power they were giving off worried Madara.

Without warning, Madara felt pain in his back as he was sent into a tree. When he looked back, there it was standing behind him opening and closing its fist.

Madara was able to recover as he planted his feet on the tree. The sense of danger was alarming when looking at this new form of Jack and Anna.

While standing on the tree, the figure disappeared from Madaras' sight and appeared in front of him. Madara tried to get out of the way, but the thing grabbed his head and started squeezing.

Madara tried to break free from its grip, but it was no avail. Then Madara gets an idea.

[Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu]

A massive ball of fire spews from his mouth as the attack hits it at point-blank range. The being releases its grip as Madara took that time to retreat.

As the smoke cleared, Madara could see that the attack did little to no damage to it. The only damage taken was to its clothes.

Then again, it disappeared as it reappeared in front of Madara who got hit with a hard uppercut. While in the air, the being kicked Madara in his side with tremendous force.

The kick was so powerful, Madara was sent flying into more than a dozen trees and three of his ribs were broken. But they healed quickly because his healing ability was beyond human.

"You could not defeat both of us, now, we are one and you don't stand a chance," The being said as it watched Madara get up from the destroyed trees.

"Nothing to say? You were very talkative a few minutes ago. Now that we are one being, our name is Phoenix," It said as it released more of the foul aura.

"You will die along with that old man because you two were weak to beat us," Phoenix said laughing when he spoke of Reiner.

"Weak? I just love hearing that word," Madara said not showing his eyes as an intense black aura surrounded him. The feel of death itself swept over the forest as Madara looked to Phoenix who seemed unimpressed.

With the intent to kill the person in front of him, all Madara saw was red as his body seemed to move on its own. He was faster and strong, and more precise when he attacked.

"You may have risen your power, but it's still not enough to beat me," Phoenix said as he/she punched Madara in the face.

Madara took the blow as he turned his head with its fist still in his face to look him in the eye. Madara only had one thing in mind, to kill.
