Shattering Humanity-Chapter 268: A Modern Day Gladiator Vs. A Destined Maiden of War
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." -Romans12:2
[Sanpaku’s Destroyed Entrance]
Shelly: "So you can go ahead and use your SunSwords.
Use whatever weapons you have at your disposal, tough guy.
Because you’ll need all of them.
You’re going to lose, no matter what tools you try to use against me."
Zeke’s snicker turns sour while she presents her points. Her over confidence and unwavering resolve is enough to make any male who believes to be "alpha", feel her presence.
Behind her, Katsu’s eyes are big comical stars and he is fully admiring Shelly’s overconfidence to the situation like how she usually does.
Katsu(to himself): "Oh my gahhd...She’s so freaking cool."
Katsu: "Get em Shelly!!!"
Shelly is now the one snickering at her current challenger in front of her, getting him angrier with every taunt she produces.
Shelly: "And surely you aren’t referring to the ’good oId days’ when I didn’t even need to throw a punch to beat you down and make you look pathetic?
Those are the ’glory days’ you are talking about, am I right?"
Jeremiah, confident in his friend, but still seems unsure about Shelly’s demeanor.
He is trying to pick out exactly what it is about the girl that makes her so unique. Not knowing anything about Seiõr, her lineage, or her past struggles.
Jeremiah (thinking): *From the classes I had with her I could easily tell while watching from the sides, if she had fought professionally before this apocalypse, this bitch could probably take on some of the better male champions.
Her physical strength alone defies all sorts of stereotypes and the bonds of MMA combat all together. Nevermind her speed and ability to be light on her feet.
How is this chick so strong?!*
The #1 combat student who was expelled from both the HFF Academy, and exiled from the Sister Mountains finishes her taunts with a deep Below Sanpaku azule stare.
Shelly: "Because I’ll assure you here and now ’Red Hedgehog’, you don’t want to go reminiscing down those bumpy, unpaved roads.
I’ll tell you that for free."
Keeping her badass expression, the Valkyrie worthy warrior places the grip of her weapon back in her teeth and squares back up to her opposition.
Shelly: "Leshh, go.
Lii’l boy."
Katsu looks over at his adopted sister’s new opponent with a confused tilted head and a smile.
Katsu: "Wait, did you say his name is Shirley?"
The Izanagi Captain looks over at the fuming soldier with his smokey eye aura growing larger the more the two of them belittle him to his face.
Katsu: "That’s a girl’s name dude."
Zeke’s grip tightens on his dual wielded swords as his teeth clench.
He charges for the woman, making both Katsu and Shelly chuckle at the same time.
Zeke cross swings his swords at Shelly three, four, five times and she easily side dodges each swipe.
On the sixth swing with his left arm, using amazing quickness and precision, Shelly’s small, teal nail painted right hand stops his wrist mid slash.
Zeke: "Wh-"
A quick jab hits his stomach, but he doesn’t feel it...
The man takes a step back, Shelly releases her prey’s wrist, but then letting him jump back in at her.
She ducks his spinning blades and attempts to sweep his legs but Zeke is starting to get his adrenaline.
He successfully jumps over it and counters with downward swings with both of his weapons.
Shelly does a double back hand spring to escape and slides to stop herself, but even without an alien symbiote, her Valkyrie instincts make her swing her Seax, staying connected with one of Zeke’s.
With they stay locked in, her enemy snickers, swinging his right sword.
However, to his chagrin, Shelly leaves her feet, keeping her black blade connected to his left SunSword, jumping to her right, avoiding his attack coming from her left.
She manages to get high enough to squeeze his head with her knees, and using that same momentum brings him to the ground with a slamming knees strike to his skull...but he doesn’t seem to feel the damage...
He does however drop one of his SunSwords and it slides into a small puddle, completely evaporating it without losing much heat.
Shelly can still feel his vicious intent and quickly disengages but not before his new freed hand grabs her ankle.
Now growling like a feral beast of his own, Zeke pulls and actually manages to make Shelly fall to her back.
He attempts to stab her with the tip of his hot metal weapon but before he can she drop kicks him upward from her back.
She falls back to the ground but uses the momentum to backwards roll back to her feet.
She runs in just as a recovering Zeke looks up and she lands another knee straight to his chin... But he eats the damage and smiles.
Zeke: "That should be enough." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
From his 2nd Stage IceEye, a pulse wave of Seiõr energy, sort of like Katsu’s when he knocked out Roronora citizens with symbiotes.
Shelly watches as the unknown attack hits her and it feels like someone hit her with a truck.
She goes flying, into the key shed of Inner Sanpaku and the small plastic shed falls around her.
Katsu: "Shelly!"
Zeke: "Heheheh!
I told you, dumb bitch.
This alien eye is a game changer, especially with my ability.
Kinetic energy.
That is the human bodies weakness when it comes to blunt force trauma to the body.
With my eye ability active, any blunt force kinetic energy delivered to my body, gets sent right to my IceEye and I can store all that energy and deliver it back to the sender.
How does it feel, Tomboy?
Why are you hitting yourself?"
Suddenly...
Katsu’s Voice(telepathy): *You’ve already lost, dumb shit.
Go home before your friend gets hurt.*
Zeke, the only other eye user in the vicinity, doesn’t know about Katsu’s special abilities.
He looks around...taking his eyes off Shelly...
Zeke: "What was that?!"
His buddy/personal trainer, Jeremiah has already given his fighting friend his space.
Jeremiah: "What are you talking about Dude?
I think- I think you won!"
Katsu shakes his head at the assumption.
Katsu(thinking): *Dumbasses.*
The unaware HFF soldier gets so caught off guard from the random voice in his head, he doesn’t realize the golden pink SanguineSoulSeiõrShield oozing from the small plastic destruction.
Zeke looks back at where Shelly landed...but stops at an Above Sanpaku, smirking ’King’ Katsu.
The Yang Vessel watches as his most royal guard defends him.
Zeke’s eyes widen and the 2nd Stage IceEye starts frantically searching for it’s host’s enemy, but unfortunately for the host and his symbiote...
A fist covered in a golden pink SanguineSoulSeiõrShield makes direct contact with Zeke’s cheek and the trained fighter can barely roll with the punch but he still gets taken off of his feet from Shelly’s sheer power.
The red haired gladiator can’t stop his momentum before his back hits the cement side of the pre-apocalypse automotive traffic tunnel.
Not enough to dent the hard wall...nor the man who was thrown into it.
Zeke: "What the fu-"
Before he can finish his sentence, the symbiote IceEye takes control for it’s own host’s protection and Zeke swings his right handed SunSword.
Shelly’s all black Seax makes contact with the hot blade, and it creates grinding sparks.
But Zeke, also not knowing of the truth about Seiõr, can only watch in slow motion as Shelly is covered in her breathtaking protective coating of her own soul’s personal supply of the univeral energy.
The blonde angel had gone airborne when making contact with his sword and she uses a flying knee to connect with his sternum.
He bounces off of the wall again and with the sound of the blade cutting the air while she twirls, Mach 1 Shelly double spin roundhouse kicks him square in the chest.
Now with her majestic Seiõr involved, spit and the wind gets knocked out of the prideful "damage sponge" of a man before he goes flying.
With velocity that makes Jeremiah’s jaw drop, he watches his life long friend soar into the metal and plywood wall that shields Inner Sanpaku from the rest of the dangerous world.
Not very stable in the first place, as soon as the 21 year old man makes contact, the entire makeshift structure comes down on top of him.
Jeremiah: "Zeke!"
...

[Sanpaku Training Area]
Laban DaeMon: "I’m sure once you use a little bit of your surprise Saki, you won’t be as much of in a gwumpy wumpy mood."
Both of Saku’s eyes grow wide remembering the very distinct ’flowery’ smell and in a moment of figurative comedy, without seeing the contents of the crate, a green, holy light shines from inside the wooden box.
Saku: "Is this all...?"
Laban DaeMon: "Yep!
Whichever way you prefer, I made sure to pack enough so you would have enough for a month.
Well, at least it’s what I go through in a month haha!"
Saku: "Laban...I don’t know what to say..."
Cross armed Itsuka and Xaaydagaay watch from the sidelines as Laban "scores a point".
Laban DaeMon: "On that day in the old Initiation Arena, you told me I seemed like a pretty cool chick and you would smoke a blunt with me.
We’ll Saki, should I roll one up for us to share?"
Saku: "S-Sure..."
