Man's left arm was sparking electrical currents as it hung limply beside him. He would no longer be able to dual-wield his weapons until the scientists made some repairments; some of the perks of being an android. Regardless, a single hand would suffice for the match. Fatal Mistake? he thought in jest. Truly, the one who misunderstood was the unidentified android. Man was fully aware of his false attacks and had deliberately hidden one of his techniques for such occasion.
As the android charged at him with his devastating attack, Man dashed towards him. As he moved, his shadow seemed to follow behind in a scarlet red silhouette -an afterimage of sorts- which created the illusion of Man fading through his opponent, while actually ducking under and rotating around him. His attack would continue forward, destroying the wall enclosing them, revealing the scientists who through themselves frantically at the edges in the room to avoid injury. Unfortunately, not all of them survived. With sword in hand, he stood firmly with the tip pressed lightly on the back of the android's neck and so he finally spoke, "Come again?"

When his first blew a hole in the containment door, He froze for a moment as he heard the another androids voice behind him. His speed was unlike anything he could of predicted, since he was just mere inches away from him before.He felt the energy of his weapon right behind him, and only guessed as to where it was. He quickly charged up energy in his body, as a blue forceshield surrounded his body, as he threw his arm backwards, and upwards, possibly catching the blade, and throwing it upwards if the two connected.
He would then turn as fast as he possibly could, using the spinning momentum to lunge at Man and throw powerful punch right to his head.It was not the devastating Dragon fist attack, but his fist, with added energy from his forceshield would still cause a good deal of damage if the attack landed its marker.

"Well done, Zero." Ivan praised as the scientists emerged from their fear of being swallowed up by that eventful dragon. They were completely unfazed by the two colleagues they lost in that split second of surprise. To them, the battle was won; Man pinned him from behind with his saber while they blocked the path from the other side, though it was no different from the moment they were enclosed by the walls. The doctor walked closer with two specialized handcuffs he would use to retain the android, but man was starting to get an ominous sensation.
He squint an eye but remained slanted on his target. Man's scouter had been rendered unresponsive, though he felt something weird, something he couldn't explain. Then, a sheet of somekind of blue substance began to engulf the unidentified android. Man gasped, he was right, this fight wasn't over just yet. He tried to subdue him without injury, but to stop him, Man would have to momentarily disable him; having displayed all his abilities, that would be much harder this time around.
"Get away!" Man shouted all of a sudden. Frightened, the doctor was planted on the ground where he last stepped, unable to move out of shock and incomprehension. Luckily, the android attacked Man instead. He gasped, he hadn't expected he would just turn around so suddenly and actually grab the blade of his sword, only a lunatic would think of such a thing. Oddly enough, his limbs remained intact and the android pulled his sword away and threw it back. The saber whirred in the air and missed the doctor by a hair, embedding itelf into the metal floor beside him. The doctor was hysterical, and with a yelp, he scurried back to the other side of the room with the rest of his peers.
Man, on the other hand, although separated from his blade he skipped backwards just enough to watch the android's fist caress the tip of his nose; but in that single motion he had also un-clipped his gun and aimed it between the android's eyes. He didn't understand why, but he just couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. His fingers danced around the piece of metal which would pull the energy bullet out, searching for reasons to do it and reasons not to.
"Don't kill him!" Ivan quickly demanded, "He's precious resource, Zero!"
Without turning his face from the target, he offered a fleeting glance to his master with the expression which could only mean confusion, and then shifted back staring at the eyes of the android. Kill? he pondered. As if we were alive to begin with... Man now knew he had nothing to fear, but acknowledged he was valuable for studies, meaning the head was the most important piece to keep intact. He lowered his aim at the chest, and pulled the trigger. From his pistol would emerge a small sphere of highly-compressed energy capable of denting the sturdiest metal in the universe.

As Mans Saber went flying, 1337 marked its final resting place in his mind as he heard the scientist yell that they wanted to keep him in one piece to study. It was then he saw Man drew his other weapon, aimed it at his chest and fired. The sudden shot caught him off guard, but his shield allowed most of the damage to be negated, however he felt the force of the shot, and it made him stumble back a bit as his shield flickered off to recharge.
His system was still sluggish from the recent activation, but he kicked his leg out, trying to catch Man off guard, and trip him up, as he would then push off the floor. Once the motion was on, he would make his way to Man's saber, grab it, and hold it in his hand. But then something strange would happen, as he didnt look scared anymore, but more curious, and confused as he looked over the handle of the saber in his hand, as if he was studying it.

Man adjusted his aim at the android to take that second shot. His facial expression was firm and clear, eyes hardened; he had done this once before, they said. But the moment he pull the trigger again, the android bashed under him and Man stumbled on the floor. His aim was derailed from its target and hit the roof. Oof! he grunted, catching himself with his only functional arm while gripping the pistol. He looked up to see whether he managed to hit the android, but only found an indented burnt ceiling.
Man brought himself back to his feet and gazed at the android who now held his saber. He was unfazed. The android would soon learn that the blade only responded to Model Zero's inner code, causing the energy blade to disperse seconds after being picked from the ground and leaving him with nothing but a handle. Man raised his hand once more with his gun steered against him once again. Steam flowed from the muzzle as he positioned his finger within the guard. Man stared at the android sternly and pulled the trigger.

Seeing that the saber wasnt currently of use to him, He was going to hold onto it but he sensed power building up and being released. He quickly looked up just intime to see a shot that Man had fired at him, as it impacted his left shoulder. It burned through his clothes and into his 'skin', causing flesh and blood to spill off of his body, as he stumbled back from the impact, as a new feeling coursed through his body. Pain. And it originated from the wound that he had just sustained from Man's weapon.
Blood dripped onto the floor, and while normal androids didnt bleed as he was, he still kept up the fight. More determined to fight and survive, 1337 held up both his hands and charged an energy ball in both of them, and suddenly started to fire rapid shots of energy at Man, hoping to hit him with his attacks.

Perplexed, Man watched as the red liquid gushed out of the peculiar android's wounds. He had been told that androids could not bleed for they were not living, but here he was, bleeding -as if he were alive. He curled his nose. What's different between them? Why did that android get to bleed while he could not!? Man was preparing to shoot again when the android lift his hands in the air and created two spheres of energy; another feat. he should not have been able to do, yet this has been the second time. Androids should not be able to generate their own energy, for that was the power of mortals. It was the reason why Model Zero relied on his gun and sword, for they created the energy for him.
The ki amassed by the android was promptly evoked upon him and they brined towards him with more ferocity than the last. Learned from his previous mistake, Man already knew he could not detonate all of them in time, so he jumped into the jungle and danced with the raging leaves. The ballad was so eloquently executed that his hair followed behind like a squire. Man would take select moments to aim between blasts and shoot the android in an attempt to halt his parade. Regardless, effective as he was, it was impossible to dodge every bit of searing sphere that crossed his path.

As 1337 saw that Man was still quite maneuverable, and tried to dodge some of his attacks while trying to get off some of his own, 1337 focused all his attack speed and power into one hand, while he prepped another Dragon Fist in his other free hand. Whenever one of Mans weaker ranged attacks got near, he ducked under then, or moved his torso back slightly, letting the blasts pass him. He decided it was time to re-engage him at close range, as he suddenly broke into a run towards man while continuing to fire energy blasts in quick succession at him, as when he was close enough, he would attempt to use his Dragon Fist attack right at Man's chest area, hoping to land a good solid hit on him.
He didnt know how much longer the pure android could stand up to him, but 1337 was already diring of the fight, and was trying to disable his attacker, rather then destroying him.

It appeared that no amount of power or speed could allow Man to evade every single energy blast this guy could throw at him. Besides his un-functional arm, he gained scraped knees and elbows, chipped off arm-guards and headpieces. It felt as if his systems were reheating; a stinging sensation running through his limbs. From his scraped knees, the thin black fabric tore for the very first time -forged by innovative technology and powerful fibers-, they were never meant to tear. Under Man's nose lie proof of his undeniable humanity, as this unidentified android had been the first ever harm him to the point of hemorrhage.
Benighted, Man withstood against the android's onslaught valiantly and once again he dashed forward in that scarlet shadow, fading through his target's body just in time. Man aimed his pistol and pulled the trigger without remorse at the android's other shoulder, another in the right calve of his leg and a third in the other leg.

Just as 1337 saw his fist fly through nothing but thin air, he knew exactly was was going to happen. So without even turning, he energized his personal shield, that was only at half charge, as the shining blue field came up again, just intime to negate, and block the shots from his pistol. The shield was quickly depleted from blocking the shots as he quickly turned to face his opponent. "Agility is within unacceptable parameters. Time to even the score." He said as he charged up his fist again, and charged directly at Man, The energy on his fist soon changed to the shape of a dragon as 1337 charged directly at his opponent, seemingly intending on targeting Mans only operational arm. A new plan had formed in 1337's mind, and wasnt sure if it was going to be successful. If it was, not only would it provide and escape route, but it could possibly also disable his opponent in the process.

Surprised, Man regressed, having observed his bullets depleted by the same shield as before. He was dumbfounded as to how the android could manage to reject all his attacks while he was in his heightened state. The android thrust his fist and Man turned away from the attack, shielding his body with his dead arm. His pupils narrowed as he was struck and body thrown like a raggdoll across the hall. His pistol slide on the floor, resting right next to him. Man clenched his teeth as misty eyes grew on his rippled face.
"AAAAAAGHH!!!" he cried out, gripping tightly the empty socket where his arm used to be. He was overwhelmed with unrecognizable phenomenons surging through his body. What is this? He thought. What's happening to me? Red liquid, thicker than water, gushed out of his wounds and tainted the cold metal floor. He was full of these odd sensations, a new smell curling his nose, water dripping from his eyes, electrical currents sparking around the severed flesh and broken machinery, burning that flesh.
"Zero!" Ivan called out in a demanding tone. The android stopped screaming and held his breath in silence to hear his master. "What are you doing? You're acting as if you were a human, -you can't feel pain! Stop pretending to have a heart and finish your mission!"
Man relaxed and reached for the gun lying next to him. That's right, he thought, I'm not alive... I almost forgot... Ivan smirked and Model Zero pulled the trigger as he brought himself back up.

1337 was pleased that his powerful attack smashed into the other androids body, sending him flying and almost disabled him in a single hit. He watched as he then got up to his feet and fired at him again. When 1337 attempted to put his shield up again, it had now power, as the shots slammed into his arm, near the wound that was already there, as more blood fell from him onto the floor. He staggered back from the attack, as he felt more damage to his systems and his left arm went limp. With a look of fear in his face, he looked to his damaged arm, grabbed it...and forcefully removed the dead weight that was formerly his arm, and threw it aside, knowing that a disabled limb might actually slow him down.
When it was ripped, there was a sharp snapping sound, as both man and the scientists could see that 1337 wast just a regular android, but there were Organic parts to him as well, which could explain the source of the blood.
And when 1337 hear the scientist shout at Man about orders, his mind changed priorities. "Combat with android designated 'Zero' inefficient use of energy. New targets aquired." He said, as his body began to glow bright, as his own energy seemingly doubled, as tendrils of energy leaked from his body and his aura soon flared up. it looked like Aquamarine flames flared up over his body as his remaining arm glowed with concentrated energy, as he didnt aim his hand at Man this tie, but at the scientists that commanded him. "Forceful removal of Nonessential targets is required." He said, as he unleashed a full barrage of blasts at the scientists.

"Zero!" Ivan yelped as the android began to target them instead. Man squint his eyes as the android ascended to higher levels of power, and rushed to the scientist's rescue, saving Ivan from the blast radius as the doctor and the aides vanished in the barrage of energy blasts. Man released his master, "Go." he said. Ivan nodded and squirmed away, as far from the battle field as possible. Once he was out of sight and veering that last corner, Man raised his hand aiming the pistol once again and shot at the android's remaining arm. He was starting to get a fuzzy sensation over his head, though he squint his eyes and fought on.

1337 was starting to feel what he could think of, was his energy slowly dying out on him. It was most likely due to the lack of blood in his system, but he was able to contnue the fight, and hopefully win. He saw that Man was coming at him with his pistol again, as he ducked under the shots, held out his hand again, his only working hand, and attempted to return fire with his own energy blasts. He knew he would have to end the fight quickly if he still wanted to escape afterwards, so once Mans shots had past, he stood up, and fired even more energy shots at Man, as he ran close behind his shots, leapt into the air, and attempted to give a good solid kick to his head, hoping to atleast knock him off his feet once more.

Man maneuvered between the energy shots. Their battle had become systematic and predictable, exchanging bolts of concentrated ki in the vain attempt to wear each other out. In the end, the victor would be he who lasts the longest or manages to outsmart the other. But Man's abilities weren't all that vast and the room they fought on was dull and empty without anything he could use against his target. He had the energy to dodge them without injury, but when the android jumped him, he felt this sudden weakness which would not allow him to move away. His foot was planted firmly on Man's face and forced him to stumble down to the floor.
