She burst into Zeke's room in a frantic, confusing spell, shouting about all kinds of things Zeke couldn't make heads or tails of. However that was to be expected really, due to the obvious factors. 1) It was Jaxine. 2) Zeke was just woken up. 3) with this lot, random bullshit and nonsense was to be expected. Chances were Jaxine was just pissed at Kazu or something. "Let me guess. Someone stole your sweetroll." he said, flopping back down on the bed and closing his eyes. Jaxine jumped on top of him and grabbed onto his shoulders. "He got Twen! She went in to stop him but he got her and hes destroying my shit..." She began yelling, shaking Zeke the whole time. Zeke got angry and tried to throw her off. "Get the hell off of me!"
Kazu poked his head in on the scene. He jumped in the room and pointed a finger. "HA! I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!" he yelled just as Zeke clued in as to what it looked like. Zeke sat up and hit Jaxine with a headbut before jumping out of the bed. "She comes in here screaming nonsense and jumped on me. Now what the hell is going on?" he asked, grabbing his coat and sword. He spun it around and pulled the coat on, attaching the sword to his back. Zeke grabbed the back of Jaxine's tank top... more like sports bra thing and dragged the dazed woman out of the room as Zeke followed Kazu who explained the situation.
---------------------------
"So some guy broke into our simulation to try and hack our personal data, and he captured Twen. Why don't you just shut it down?" he asked. Dr. Walters was typing away at a terminal. "We tried! He's locked everything down. We could cut the power but that could corrupt Twenty-One's data. It's too risky." he explained. Zeke nodded. "Agreed. That would be like killing her. Try to focus on getting me into Jaxtropolis so I can kick his ass and bring her out." he explained. He emphasized on the name Jaxine chose for the city she built. Jaxine herself was on a wireless tablet making sure she had total backup data of the city this time for when Zeke trashed it again.
Apparently she used it as a map for some kind of multiplayer online game. They currently had this map set to personal mode, where Jaxine could allow certain people and make changes. Zeke shook his head and entered the gravity chamber. He set the chamber to x30 normal gravity, hoping to use it as a method of slowing the target down like he did last time. The simulator kicked in and Zeke was standing on top of the church again in the dead of night, witch was apparently his usual spawn point. He recently found out all his real life moves were included as Data and such, and Zeke could actually open a little menu to see and read on all of his own techniques and even check his inventory. He closed it and sighed. What use was that to him? He knew his own moves and knew what was in his pockets already.
Zeke went to blast off towards a high energy signature he could feel, but found it just as hard as last time. He struggled to keep himself airborne until he eventually landed on the sidewalk. All the people he seen passing by him had a little tag beside their head that said NPC, and he was told this meant they were not players. Zeke stepped out onto the road and bolted off at full speed... at least as fast as his weight was allowing. He ran down through a few red lights until he came to a city buss. He went to simply slow down and go around it but he quickly realized how hard it was to stop himself, smashing clean through the vehicle. He fell and rolled over, jumping up and taking to running again. He then noticed a little star flashing in his top right peripheral. It was some kind of symbol stating he was wanted by the local law enforcement for committing a crime. Jaxine was supposed to have turned that off though.
He shrugged the nonsense off and ran up the side of a building and took flight, trying to get used to the gravity as he closed in on a factory in the industrial park section on the edge of town. "Oh wow. The bad guy wouldn't happen to be in there?" Zeke asked himself sarcastically. "Nope!" A voice yelled, then out of nowhere a chunk of steel slammed into the back of Zeke's head and sent him into a large dome-like structure that was full of scrap metal. Zeke kicked some junk off himself, standing up to find a chunk of rusty steel bar through his thigh. He gritted his teeth as he ripped it free and flew back up. He looked around to find nobody. He hit a button on his scouter and a bunch of signatures popped up... notably Twenty-Ones!
Zeke slowly flew down to an open window and crouched down on a catwalk up four levels. Down below he seen what appeared to be a makeshift data lab set up with a man in a lab coat sitting at it. Approaching him was a man in some kind of high tech armor. "The threat has been eliminated, Dr. Harold." He stated. Zeke glared. So that was the asshole who sucker punched him. The doctor spun around on his chair. "Excellent! And I must say you dispatched him quite fast!" he said. He put his hands together. "But... I didn't see his ID leave the simulation... so I'd say you have yet to finish the job." he explained with a hint of frustration. The other man stood up straight. "Uh yes sir... sorry sir! He fell into the scrap metal pile, I'll go finish him at once!
The man ran outside. Zeke figured it would be best to deal with that guy before moving in on the Doctor. Zeke went back out the window and jumped down to the ground. The Armored man walked by in the distance as Zeke stood there. The man walked along and then he spun around, thinking he seen something. Nothing there, just some smoke. He sighed. "Man I hate this place. Never know what's gonna happen-" he turned to come face to face with Zeke. "Surprise." he said, driving a fist into the man's stomach with enough impact that he would feel it through the armor. He drew a knee into the mans helmet after he doubled over and then Telekinetically hit him with a massive shove, throwing him into the air, through a smoke stack and into an electrical box that exploded.
The power went out and the Doctor noticed. However he already hacked the system so that regular game settings had no affect on his hacking program, witch was represented in the simulation as the series of computers he worked at. Meanwhile the armored man shot up out of the rubble and landed back in front of Zeke. "Think that's enough? This is Mach Seven Annihilator Armor, it boosts all my stats by double!" he stated. A little title popped up by his head, reading "Skullcrusher666 Lvl.20" Zeke opened his own menu. The guy started screaming at Zeke about ignoring him, but Zeke just ignored him. Apparently Lvl was his online level of power, and Zeke's own was Lvl 37. According to his stats on Mr. Skullcrusher666, his armor doubled everything as if he was a level 40. Zeke closed the menu and looked at the guy. "I thought they locked players out of here. Where is Twenty-One and what is the other guy in the factory doing?" he asked Crusher nicely.
The man laughed. "I ain't telling you shit!" he yelled, and charged Zeke. He threw a punch that Zeke blocked, but he was pushed back by it anyway. The man's fists were equipped with some kind of pneumatic piston things that made each strike feel worse. Crusher smiled. "Oh yeah, these babies double my common strikes too. Plus I have all kinds of other stuff. Wana see?" he asked. Zeke Zanzokened in and grabbed the man from behind. "No. Not really." he said, throwing the man through the side of a warehouse. The man rolled a couple times and managed to flip back up on his feet. Zeke swooped in and threw a couple more blows, making a metal 'clang' with each strike. The man took the blows then threw up a block before hitting Zeke with a jab and a full on haymaker to send him flying through a couple support beams.
Zeke stood up to see the man also activated some kind of force field around his whole body. He taunted Zeke by signaling for Zeke to come at him. Zeke stood up, stretching his back from the strain of the gravity. Man this guy was annoying. "Gotta say, you do look almost exactly like that one guy who stabbed the Saiyan Prince at the tourney. You aren't ass cool as the Real Zeke NeCross though." he said. Zeke realized the man must see his name above his head too. Zeke smiled. "I actually am the real Zeke NeCross. I'll show you." he explained, placing his left hand on his blade and ripping it free to release the Crescent Slash. The strike of energy tore through the building and hit the armored idiot full on, who went flying out of the warehouse. He had all that nice gear but he didn't know how to fight very well.
Zeke walked out into a parking lot to see the man picking himself up. His shield flickered and shut down, and Zeke swooped in with a lick to the knee and a blow to the head to knock the man down. He then walked over and grabbed the back of Crusher's Annihilator Armor and pick him up in an arc and back down into the ground twice before whipping around and throwing him out into traffic. Pieces of the armor jingled and clanged as it flew off the man before he slammed into a minivan and the two collided with the factory wall. Zeke walked towards the man slowly, who's armor and fancy equipment were now trash. "You bastard! You wouldn't even give me a chance to-"
*bzzz BLAM!*
The man exploded along with the van, ripping a huge hole in the factory wall. Nothing was left of Skullcrusher666, but a bumper, a couple burning tires and a door slid into the main area of the factory. Zeke lowered his hand after firing the blast and shook his head as he approached the man at the set of computers. "Seriously, that guy was the best you could do? He honestly thought fighting me was going to be like a game." Zeke told the Doctor, disappointed in his choice of backup. the doctor rolled back in his chair and stood up, putting both hands behind his back. He smiled, having a mustache and a small pointy gote, along with a set of small round reading glasses. His hairline receded but what was left stuck out as long puffy grey spikes around his head. Zeke couldn't get over the pointy nose and pointy chin.
He was clearly a scientist of some kind, or supposed to be, with the lab coat and the tan slacks, but Zeke wondered if the guy was just another player. He did have a name over his head, Dr. Ian Harold. "Hello Zeke, I'm sure you're looking for this. he said, the word seeming to trigger some floodlights to turn on, revealing Twenty-One with both arms chained up over her head and another chain on each leg. She was suspended in mid air over some kind of pool below.
Zeke raised an eyebrow. "Really? Let me guess. Pool of acid?" he asked. Twenty-One was dressed only in a blue swimsuit, so Zeke figured Dr. Harold planned on dropping her in. He smiled. "Molten lava actually! See, if she dies here I have set it so her very memory and full programming will be deleted! So do as I ask or she will-" "-go for a swim, yeah I get it." Zeke said, finishing the man's sentence for him. Didn't even need his Telepathy for that one. Pool, Swimsuit, come on.
The man seared at Zeke's impudence, stealing his line and shrugging it off. "You think you're funny?" he asked. Zeke bolted at Harold and slammed his boot into his mouth, sending him flying past the lava pool and into a stairwell with a large crash. Zeke forgot to ask why in hell he would have a lava pool in a factory? Acid, molten metal or even a giant crusher would make sense... the doctor appeared in a data ripple in front of Zeke. "NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH DR. HAROLD!" he roared, pulling a button from his coat and pressing it. From there, the chains released and Twenty-One hit the lava, being completely consumed by it with a splash. Dr. Harold laughed maniacally as Zeke stood there.
He toned down to a chuckle and looked at Zeke, who still had his neutral glare-like look on his face. Dr. Harold was confused. "I... just melted you;'re friend." he explained. "I see that." Zeke clarified. The Doctor felt as if he was being toyed with. "I just erased your Android! I dropped her in molten lava! She's dead! FOREVER!" he yelled, thinking Zeke could actually just be simple. Zeke shook his head. "Twen always made a backup copy of herself whenever there was danger."
There was a silence. Zeke began walking slowly towards the man. "Yeah, good job. All you did was loose your leverage." Zeke pointed out. The doctor never got Zeke's emotional response out of Twen's apparent 'death' so it was really pointless. Dr. Harold growled and pulled a brick of some kind from his coat, throwing it at the reservoir. It stuck to it and exploded at the push of a button. With a jump (that was more like a hop) Dr. Harold sprouted little booster jets in his arms, legs and back and flew away as hot molten liquid spewed out at Zeke, destroying the computers and everything else in its path. He threw out both hands and instantly began turning the liquid into the first thing that crossed his mind!
Next thing he knew, he was surrounded with whipped cream. Again. It reminded him of his first fight with Akassa, creating a huge blast of the stuff when she punched him in the face and he lost focus. His eye twitched as icing was added to the cake... the leftover liquid was cooled and turned metallic. Meanwhile Dr. Harold was flying away and had all his work on the computer device on his arm, just starting the final download when Zeke suddenly appeared in front of him. "It was molten steel the whole goddamn time! I knew Lava made no sense!" Zeke yelled in a rage. Dr. Harold grabbed onto his hair, dumbfounded as to how Zeke was more interested in the difference of the liquid and the practicality of it than he was with anything else right now. Hell, Zeke didn't even bother to ask why Dr. Harold was even here!
"God damnit! I came here to get your personal data and-" "-likely sell it to the Church of One or possibly the Black Sun. Or both. Why else would you be here hacking our records? Who else would want it? You must really think we're stupid. What I don't get is how you mistook Steel for Lava!" Zeke yelled back, finishing the man's words again. Dr. Harold gritted his teeth. He whipped a glass beaker from his lab coat (that couldn't possibly of been concealed as well as it was) and chugged it down. He gasped for air after and threw the glass bottle at Zeke, it shattering off his chest without him moving an inch. Then Zeke noticed Dr. Harolds level... it was normally only twenty, but it suddenly tripled!
"Level booster potion! Now I'm level 60, twice your level of power!" he yelled, his stats starting to all increase. Zeke was confused. "What!? Potions aren't even a science thing, its witchcraft! And sixty is almost double my thirty-seven, and who says you even know how to fight?" he pointed out. Like honestly the guy was a Doctor, he was supposed to be smart! This guy was a complete fool and it was driving Zeke nuts! As for Dr. Harold, he was tired of being corrected! "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to completely destroy you!"
Zeke was still confused. "in... that order?"
"RAAAAH!" Dr. Harold flew at Zeke with the equivalent of around 60,000 PL with Zeke at around 37,500 PL. Zeke had no time to move and took a sloppy haymaker to the forehead and flew through piece of the factory and all the way into the city. He came to, looking at the night sky. Jumping up, Zeke sensed Dr. Harold nearby screaming out at him. But could not find him? He couldn't sense energy! Zeke stood up, stumbling as his vision was still blurred from the impact. He had a massive headache and did not want to get hit by Dr. Harold again. Harold had almost no fighting experience, but Zeke had pissed him off to the murder point and now his power was just off the wall.
Harold slammed down in front of Zeke. Comical how a scrawny guy like him could make a crater so easily. "There you are, now die!" he yelled, grabbing cars and throwing them. Zeke drew his sword and slashed through them one by one, cutting one out of his way to see a bank truck come at him. Zeke fired a blast, creating an explosion of fire, metal and money before flying out and focusing energy into his blade. He released the Force Slash at full power on Harold with a direct hit that he horribly tried to evade. The impact should have cut him in two but didn't, and sent him rolling down the road and into a busy intersection. He got hit by two cars as others crashed all around him, pedestrians getting out and yelling at him and eachother, starting fist fights. Zeke ran into the fray as Harold threw three guys off him who were giving him a taste of their boots.
Harold threw a punch that Zeke blocked, nearly breaking his arms. Zeke hit him with a jab and a blow, but it did little to nothing before Harold took another swing. Zeke dodged and jumped away from a kick, but Harold swooped in and grabbed Zeke. He spun around in a circle and threw Zeke into a skyscraper. Zeke seen it coming and put up his Aegis. Naturally he slammed into his side of the multi-hexagonal shield as it crashed trough the building to the other side. Harold was waiting for him and threw a huge punch, hitting the Aegis. cracks began to show after just two hits and Zeke rebounded off it just as he shattered it with the third. Zeke swooped in with a charged fist. "Blazing Punch!" he roared, connecting with the Doctors face. Finally his head snapped back from the blow, but it wouldn't be enough. Zeke couldn't throw a bunch of those kinds of punches.
The Doctor retaliated with a straight-out kick and sent Zeke flying back again. He stopped himself in the air and released a slash, creating ten cuts in the air. Dr. Harold moved into the range, aiming to throw another punch when Zeke sheathed his blade and activated the static translucent slashes in the air all at once. He was caught in a flurry of strikes, shredding his lab coat. He however was not down just yet. Zeke was exhausted and panting hard, sweat dripping from his nose as he was scraping for scraps of energy. Dr. Harold was going to wear him out and then beat him to death. Very sloppily at that, it would be slow and painful. Harold looked up at Zeke with a look of rage. Zeke wasn't honestly about to be killed by this guy. Really?
Dr. Harold charged in. Zeke had one more trick... and went into Overdrive with everything he had. His PL and also his game level tripped! He hit Level 112 instantly and as his eyes glowed white with the hair changing black, Zeke's wings sprouted from bis back just as Harold's death punch landed. There was a crunch... and Zeke felt nothing. He looked down at Harold who's eyes were wide and Zeke noted the blood running down his chest. It however was not his own. Harold fell down, screaming in pain as his broken hand became the least of his worries. He slammed into the concrete below, more bones braking from the extensive gravity. Zeke noted that Harold's Level had dropped back to Twenty! Zeke was shocked... his booster potion had worn off at the exact time Zeke's transformation completed.
The Doctor began to chuckle as Zeke came down to the ground in front of him. "Alas, only six seconds before I finish downloading all your Data-" Zeke quickly responded by stomping down on the computer device the man had on his arm. Harold screamed, not just in pain but at the lost data he had almost obtained. Zeke looked down on the man, who turned slowly to look at Zeke. "I will return. I will succeed where I failed today!" he yelled in determination. Zeke scowled and ripped the scouter from his face before his eyes lit up like stars. A huge blast tore the ground where Dr. Harold once was to shreds, leaving nothing but a smoking crater as his Avatar's grave.
"I'm sure you will." Zeke said, logging out.

Kazu poked his head in on the scene. He jumped in the room and pointed a finger. "HA! I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!" he yelled just as Zeke clued in as to what it looked like. Zeke sat up and hit Jaxine with a headbut before jumping out of the bed. "She comes in here screaming nonsense and jumped on me. Now what the hell is going on?" he asked, grabbing his coat and sword. He spun it around and pulled the coat on, attaching the sword to his back. Zeke grabbed the back of Jaxine's tank top... more like sports bra thing and dragged the dazed woman out of the room as Zeke followed Kazu who explained the situation.
---------------------------
"So some guy broke into our simulation to try and hack our personal data, and he captured Twen. Why don't you just shut it down?" he asked. Dr. Walters was typing away at a terminal. "We tried! He's locked everything down. We could cut the power but that could corrupt Twenty-One's data. It's too risky." he explained. Zeke nodded. "Agreed. That would be like killing her. Try to focus on getting me into Jaxtropolis so I can kick his ass and bring her out." he explained. He emphasized on the name Jaxine chose for the city she built. Jaxine herself was on a wireless tablet making sure she had total backup data of the city this time for when Zeke trashed it again.
Apparently she used it as a map for some kind of multiplayer online game. They currently had this map set to personal mode, where Jaxine could allow certain people and make changes. Zeke shook his head and entered the gravity chamber. He set the chamber to x30 normal gravity, hoping to use it as a method of slowing the target down like he did last time. The simulator kicked in and Zeke was standing on top of the church again in the dead of night, witch was apparently his usual spawn point. He recently found out all his real life moves were included as Data and such, and Zeke could actually open a little menu to see and read on all of his own techniques and even check his inventory. He closed it and sighed. What use was that to him? He knew his own moves and knew what was in his pockets already.
Zeke went to blast off towards a high energy signature he could feel, but found it just as hard as last time. He struggled to keep himself airborne until he eventually landed on the sidewalk. All the people he seen passing by him had a little tag beside their head that said NPC, and he was told this meant they were not players. Zeke stepped out onto the road and bolted off at full speed... at least as fast as his weight was allowing. He ran down through a few red lights until he came to a city buss. He went to simply slow down and go around it but he quickly realized how hard it was to stop himself, smashing clean through the vehicle. He fell and rolled over, jumping up and taking to running again. He then noticed a little star flashing in his top right peripheral. It was some kind of symbol stating he was wanted by the local law enforcement for committing a crime. Jaxine was supposed to have turned that off though.
He shrugged the nonsense off and ran up the side of a building and took flight, trying to get used to the gravity as he closed in on a factory in the industrial park section on the edge of town. "Oh wow. The bad guy wouldn't happen to be in there?" Zeke asked himself sarcastically. "Nope!" A voice yelled, then out of nowhere a chunk of steel slammed into the back of Zeke's head and sent him into a large dome-like structure that was full of scrap metal. Zeke kicked some junk off himself, standing up to find a chunk of rusty steel bar through his thigh. He gritted his teeth as he ripped it free and flew back up. He looked around to find nobody. He hit a button on his scouter and a bunch of signatures popped up... notably Twenty-Ones!
Zeke slowly flew down to an open window and crouched down on a catwalk up four levels. Down below he seen what appeared to be a makeshift data lab set up with a man in a lab coat sitting at it. Approaching him was a man in some kind of high tech armor. "The threat has been eliminated, Dr. Harold." He stated. Zeke glared. So that was the asshole who sucker punched him. The doctor spun around on his chair. "Excellent! And I must say you dispatched him quite fast!" he said. He put his hands together. "But... I didn't see his ID leave the simulation... so I'd say you have yet to finish the job." he explained with a hint of frustration. The other man stood up straight. "Uh yes sir... sorry sir! He fell into the scrap metal pile, I'll go finish him at once!
The man ran outside. Zeke figured it would be best to deal with that guy before moving in on the Doctor. Zeke went back out the window and jumped down to the ground. The Armored man walked by in the distance as Zeke stood there. The man walked along and then he spun around, thinking he seen something. Nothing there, just some smoke. He sighed. "Man I hate this place. Never know what's gonna happen-" he turned to come face to face with Zeke. "Surprise." he said, driving a fist into the man's stomach with enough impact that he would feel it through the armor. He drew a knee into the mans helmet after he doubled over and then Telekinetically hit him with a massive shove, throwing him into the air, through a smoke stack and into an electrical box that exploded.
The power went out and the Doctor noticed. However he already hacked the system so that regular game settings had no affect on his hacking program, witch was represented in the simulation as the series of computers he worked at. Meanwhile the armored man shot up out of the rubble and landed back in front of Zeke. "Think that's enough? This is Mach Seven Annihilator Armor, it boosts all my stats by double!" he stated. A little title popped up by his head, reading "Skullcrusher666 Lvl.20" Zeke opened his own menu. The guy started screaming at Zeke about ignoring him, but Zeke just ignored him. Apparently Lvl was his online level of power, and Zeke's own was Lvl 37. According to his stats on Mr. Skullcrusher666, his armor doubled everything as if he was a level 40. Zeke closed the menu and looked at the guy. "I thought they locked players out of here. Where is Twenty-One and what is the other guy in the factory doing?" he asked Crusher nicely.
The man laughed. "I ain't telling you shit!" he yelled, and charged Zeke. He threw a punch that Zeke blocked, but he was pushed back by it anyway. The man's fists were equipped with some kind of pneumatic piston things that made each strike feel worse. Crusher smiled. "Oh yeah, these babies double my common strikes too. Plus I have all kinds of other stuff. Wana see?" he asked. Zeke Zanzokened in and grabbed the man from behind. "No. Not really." he said, throwing the man through the side of a warehouse. The man rolled a couple times and managed to flip back up on his feet. Zeke swooped in and threw a couple more blows, making a metal 'clang' with each strike. The man took the blows then threw up a block before hitting Zeke with a jab and a full on haymaker to send him flying through a couple support beams.
Zeke stood up to see the man also activated some kind of force field around his whole body. He taunted Zeke by signaling for Zeke to come at him. Zeke stood up, stretching his back from the strain of the gravity. Man this guy was annoying. "Gotta say, you do look almost exactly like that one guy who stabbed the Saiyan Prince at the tourney. You aren't ass cool as the Real Zeke NeCross though." he said. Zeke realized the man must see his name above his head too. Zeke smiled. "I actually am the real Zeke NeCross. I'll show you." he explained, placing his left hand on his blade and ripping it free to release the Crescent Slash. The strike of energy tore through the building and hit the armored idiot full on, who went flying out of the warehouse. He had all that nice gear but he didn't know how to fight very well.
Zeke walked out into a parking lot to see the man picking himself up. His shield flickered and shut down, and Zeke swooped in with a lick to the knee and a blow to the head to knock the man down. He then walked over and grabbed the back of Crusher's Annihilator Armor and pick him up in an arc and back down into the ground twice before whipping around and throwing him out into traffic.

Zeke walked towards the man slowly, who's armor and fancy equipment were now trash. "You bastard! You wouldn't even give me a chance to-"
*bzzz BLAM!*
The man exploded along with the van, ripping a huge hole in the factory wall. Nothing was left of Skullcrusher666, but a bumper, a couple burning tires and a door slid into the main area of the factory. Zeke lowered his hand after firing the blast and shook his head as he approached the man at the set of computers. "Seriously, that guy was the best you could do? He honestly thought fighting me was going to be like a game." Zeke told the Doctor, disappointed in his choice of backup. the doctor rolled back in his chair and stood up, putting both hands behind his back.

He was clearly a scientist of some kind, or supposed to be, with the lab coat and the tan slacks, but Zeke wondered if the guy was just another player. He did have a name over his head, Dr. Ian Harold. "Hello Zeke, I'm sure you're looking for this. he said, the word seeming to trigger some floodlights to turn on, revealing Twenty-One with both arms chained up over her head and another chain on each leg. She was suspended in mid air over some kind of pool below.
Zeke raised an eyebrow. "Really? Let me guess. Pool of acid?" he asked. Twenty-One was dressed only in a blue swimsuit, so Zeke figured Dr. Harold planned on dropping her in. He smiled. "Molten lava actually! See, if she dies here I have set it so her very memory and full programming will be deleted! So do as I ask or she will-" "-go for a swim, yeah I get it." Zeke said, finishing the man's sentence for him. Didn't even need his Telepathy for that one. Pool, Swimsuit, come on.
The man seared at Zeke's impudence, stealing his line and shrugging it off. "You think you're funny?" he asked. Zeke bolted at Harold and slammed his boot into his mouth, sending him flying past the lava pool and into a stairwell with a large crash. Zeke forgot to ask why in hell he would have a lava pool in a factory? Acid, molten metal or even a giant crusher would make sense... the doctor appeared in a data ripple in front of Zeke. "NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH DR. HAROLD!" he roared, pulling a button from his coat and pressing it. From there, the chains released and Twenty-One hit the lava, being completely consumed by it with a splash. Dr. Harold laughed maniacally as Zeke stood there.
He toned down to a chuckle and looked at Zeke, who still had his neutral glare-like look on his face. Dr. Harold was confused. "I... just melted you;'re friend." he explained. "I see that."

He threw out both hands and instantly began turning the liquid into the first thing that crossed his mind!
Next thing he knew, he was surrounded with whipped cream. Again. It reminded him of his first fight with Akassa, creating a huge blast of the stuff when she punched him in the face and he lost focus.

Dr. Harold grabbed onto his hair, dumbfounded as to how Zeke was more interested in the difference of the liquid and the practicality of it than he was with anything else right now. Hell, Zeke didn't even bother to ask why Dr. Harold was even here!
"God damnit! I came here to get your personal data and-" "-likely sell it to the Church of One or possibly the Black Sun. Or both. Why else would you be here hacking our records? Who else would want it? You must really think we're stupid. What I don't get is how you mistook Steel for Lava!" Zeke yelled back, finishing the man's words again. Dr. Harold gritted his teeth. He whipped a glass beaker from his lab coat (that couldn't possibly of been concealed as well as it was) and chugged it down. He gasped for air after and threw the glass bottle at Zeke, it shattering off his chest without him moving an inch. Then Zeke noticed Dr. Harolds level... it was normally only twenty, but it suddenly tripled!
"Level booster potion! Now I'm level 60, twice your level of power!" he yelled, his stats starting to all increase. Zeke was confused. "What!? Potions aren't even a science thing, its witchcraft! And sixty is almost double my thirty-seven, and who says you even know how to fight?" he pointed out. Like honestly the guy was a Doctor, he was supposed to be smart! This guy was a complete fool and it was driving Zeke nuts! As for Dr. Harold, he was tired of being corrected! "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to completely destroy you!"
Zeke was still confused. "in... that order?"
"RAAAAH!" Dr. Harold flew at Zeke with the equivalent of around 60,000 PL with Zeke at around 37,500 PL. Zeke had no time to move and took a sloppy haymaker to the forehead and flew through piece of the factory and all the way into the city. He came to, looking at the night sky. Jumping up, Zeke sensed Dr. Harold nearby screaming out at him. But could not find him? He couldn't sense energy! Zeke stood up, stumbling as his vision was still blurred from the impact. He had a massive headache and did not want to get hit by Dr. Harold again. Harold had almost no fighting experience, but Zeke had pissed him off to the murder point and now his power was just off the wall.
Harold slammed down in front of Zeke. Comical how a scrawny guy like him could make a crater so easily. "There you are, now die!" he yelled, grabbing cars and throwing them. Zeke drew his sword and slashed through them one by one, cutting one out of his way to see a bank truck come at him. Zeke fired a blast, creating an explosion of fire, metal and money before flying out and focusing energy into his blade. He released the Force Slash at full power on Harold with a direct hit that he horribly tried to evade. The impact should have cut him in two but didn't, and sent him rolling down the road and into a busy intersection. He got hit by two cars as others crashed all around him, pedestrians getting out and yelling at him and eachother, starting fist fights. Zeke ran into the fray as Harold threw three guys off him who were giving him a taste of their boots.
Harold threw a punch that Zeke blocked, nearly breaking his arms. Zeke hit him with a jab and a blow, but it did little to nothing before Harold took another swing. Zeke dodged and jumped away from a kick, but Harold swooped in and grabbed Zeke. He spun around in a circle and threw Zeke into a skyscraper. Zeke seen it coming and put up his Aegis. Naturally he slammed into his side of the multi-hexagonal shield as it crashed trough the building to the other side. Harold was waiting for him and threw a huge punch, hitting the Aegis. cracks began to show after just two hits and Zeke rebounded off it just as he shattered it with the third. Zeke swooped in with a charged fist. "Blazing Punch!" he roared, connecting with the Doctors face. Finally his head snapped back from the blow, but it wouldn't be enough. Zeke couldn't throw a bunch of those kinds of punches.
The Doctor retaliated with a straight-out kick and sent Zeke flying back again. He stopped himself in the air and released a slash, creating ten cuts in the air. Dr. Harold moved into the range, aiming to throw another punch when Zeke sheathed his blade and activated the static translucent slashes in the air all at once. He was caught in a flurry of strikes, shredding his lab coat. He however was not down just yet. Zeke was exhausted and panting hard, sweat dripping from his nose as he was scraping for scraps of energy. Dr. Harold was going to wear him out and then beat him to death. Very sloppily at that, it would be slow and painful. Harold looked up at Zeke with a look of rage. Zeke wasn't honestly about to be killed by this guy. Really?
Dr. Harold charged in. Zeke had one more trick... and went into Overdrive with everything he had. His PL and also his game level tripped! He hit Level 112 instantly and as his eyes glowed white with the hair changing black, Zeke's wings sprouted from bis back just as Harold's death punch landed. There was a crunch... and Zeke felt nothing. He looked down at Harold who's eyes were wide and Zeke noted the blood running down his chest. It however was not his own. Harold fell down, screaming in pain as his broken hand became the least of his worries. He slammed into the concrete below, more bones braking from the extensive gravity. Zeke noted that Harold's Level had dropped back to Twenty! Zeke was shocked... his booster potion had worn off at the exact time Zeke's transformation completed.
The Doctor began to chuckle as Zeke came down to the ground in front of him. "Alas, only six seconds before I finish downloading all your Data-" Zeke quickly responded by stomping down on the computer device the man had on his arm. Harold screamed, not just in pain but at the lost data he had almost obtained. Zeke looked down on the man, who turned slowly to look at Zeke. "I will return. I will succeed where I failed today!" he yelled in determination. Zeke scowled and ripped the scouter from his face before his eyes lit up like stars. A huge blast tore the ground where Dr. Harold once was to shreds, leaving nothing but a smoking crater as his Avatar's grave.
"I'm sure you will." Zeke said, logging out.
[[Fin, PL please. x30 gravity, Heavy Weights and Simulator in effect. New Technique below.]]
[[Eye Blast - A signature move of Lord Frieza, a technique where the user's eyes charge up like two four-pointed stars before firing two small but incredibly fast and powerful Ki blasts from each eye at the same time. Not to be confused with an eye laser. Quick to discharge and both very effective and devastating at close range, especially where the user simply has to look at his target to fire. Can be used while being effected by any kind of status or restraint that does not effect or block his field of view.]]
