Ken let out a small hiss of pain as she collapsed into the floor.
"Oww. Damn it! He really hurts." Ken gasped out. She stared up at the Organization member as he stared back at the three kids he had easily beaten.
They were all beat up at this point. Ken and Sera were especially injured.
"It's over." He announced loudly. He raised his blades up. "I told you. Like this, I am simply too much for any of you to ever handle." He gripped his blade tightly as he took a step forward. "You two are dead." His masked face seemed to gaze at Ken, and Sera.
'Us two? As in only the two of us?' Ken thought with some confusion. She shook her head getting back to her feet as she raised her weapon up.
"You can still stand Ken?" Sera said with some shock. "I think he broke my legs..."
"Don't worry," Ken said pointing her blade forward. "I'm not done yet."
The man brought his own swords up once again. "You are a tough kid." He said slowly.
"And you're a really annoying bad guy." Ken spat out. She sliced her sword out as she charged at the man.
Meanwhile...
"Damn! What's taking so long!" Hero asked?
"You were nearly split in half? You're lucky you can even be healed at all." Labby said slowly.
"I know but I need to hurry up!"
"There's nothing I can do. Your healing is up to them."
Hero let out a sigh as he set down. "Damn this sucks. I'm so-"
The red liquid beneath him bubbled up as a normal size lab coat flew out. It was the smaller Labby.
"I just check." The small lab coat announced. "It should be done in a few minutes!"
"Alright!" Hero announced.
The lab coat flew around slowly. "Well." It said. "Since we still have this much time." It flew over Hero's body going over the white suit causing the boy to wear it now.
"Hey wait! I hate lab coats! I don't want to wear one!" Hero yelled tugging on the clothing.
"Relax." The small Labby said. "I'm checking your power..."
"Oh. Well?" Hero asked.
"You've gotten a small bit stronger I guess. Your base power has barely gone up. And you've only gotten a little more skilled at using them. And You've also only gone to about 27% of total %... You're progressing slower then I thought you would."
"You can tell all of that?" Hero asked. "Wait! Will you be able to do the kill me thing!"
"Of course I can not do that. The bigger me has that, as well as most of the important powers, though he's pretty useless right now with those chains around him. I'm simply a mini manifestation of him. My powers are naturally weaker than his."
"Oh, that's good."
The lab coat pulled its self off of Hero as it flew into the air. "I'm disappointed all things considered. I was hoping you would have improved more... But at the rate, you're going now. You've barely pushed forward."
"I've been busy!"
"No, you haven't."
"Yeah, you're right-"
There was a massive rumble as the red liquid suddenly exploded in a large hail. Hero's eyes widened for a moment as it splashed back down.
Suddenly the white suit on his body pulled off as it moved through the air landing on the red water. The white suit expanded out growing in size as it took form. Finally, after a few moments, it became a large white hospital.
"So..." Hero said to the two silent lab coats. "I'm going to assume that, that means the healing is done?"
There was a loud creak as the doors to the hospitals slowly pulled open.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"I think it wants you to enter..." The smaller Labby said slowly.
"Don't." The bigger Labby hissed out. "If you go in there you'll be at her mercy! I have no idea why she hasn't taken your body over already but you can not enter-"
Hero walked forward ignoring the man.
"Hey!"
The smaller Lab coat pulled up flying along side Hero as they both headed towards the entrance. "You know. This is a stupid idea."
"I don't care." Hero said with a blank look on his face. "I want to see her. Or at least talk to her."
"You know it isn't actually her right? It is just a manifestation of her ability. Yeah, it might look like her. But it won't really be her. It won't act like her. And anything you tell her the real her won't know."
"That's okay." Hero said. "I'll just tell them again when I see them in the real world."
"You're very strange. I see why my other half calls you a fool. I also see how you cause him so much annoyance."
"Yeah, he doesn't like me."
Hero moved past the doors entering the large hospital. The room seemed to suddenly bend and twist as everything moved around.
"Alright kid... Be smart about this..."
Hero gripped his hands tightly as he opened his mouth. "Ava!" He shouted out loudly.
"I said be smart!"
The room went silent for a moment as everything stopped. Suddenly the back wall seemed to shift and move open.
And then they saw her...
Or at least they mostly saw her. She stood in the back ground. Her body was also covered by a layer of shadows. Only her silver eyes could be seen. It was just an outline of darkness as it stared back at them.
"Not good..." Labby said slowly floating back a few feet. "She's gotten a lot stronger and made more of herself in your mind. One wrong step and you're screwed..."
Hero gave a smile as he stared at the girl across from him. "Hi, Ava..." He said slowly.
"...Ava..." The shadow asked slowly. "Hero?"
"Yep. That's me." He said giving a small wave.
The lab coat flew over to him going over his body once again causing him to wear it.
"Here's the plan... If she attacks turn and use me as a shield. I should be able to survive at least one hit. While she's busy killing me, you should run back to the bigger me. If you both team up he should be able to send you back out against her will. As long as you're in the real world she can't get to you unless you allow her to."
"Don't worry." Hero said still smiling. "She isn't going to try anything." He took a step forward heading towards the girl. "Right Ava."
A black hand reached out. Hero also reached out for it.
"What?" Labby asked slowly.
"She isn't going to try and take me over. At least not yet." Hero said. He reached out holding the hand. "She wants me to see her at her full power. She hates me. She won't try and kill me until she's at her full power."
Ava pulled her hand back yanking it away from Hero.
"I've been pretty awful to her after all..."
"You're being awfully calm being next to something that can kill you, and you just admitted it would kill you..." Labby said slowly.
"I want you..." Ava said slowly. "Later..."
"I know." Hero gave another smile as he turned away from the girl. "Later. I need to be a hero for someone else, before I can save you. But I will. I'll save you, Ava." Hero said giving a nod. "I know I will. I have no intention of letting you go again."
"...Go..."
Hero turned away from her as he gave a small wave. "I got to go save them first. But don't wordy Ava. I'll save you. Both of you. You and the real you." He walked out of the room now letting out a small sigh. "That was fun!"
"Why are you so calm? And her... She seemed to like you. Are you sure she wants to kill you?"
"Of course she does." Hero said nodding. "She wants to be in here at her full power first. Then. Then she'll kill me."
"Then why not get rid of her!"
"I don't feel like it." Hero said shrugging. "I just care about her to much."
"I'm starting to agree with my other me. You are really, really strange, and foolish. Very foolish." He said pulling off of the boy and floating along side of him.
"You think so? Oh well. Must be a Seraphin thing?"
"I doubt it. Well, Otoko. I look forward to seeing you get out of this mess."
"You think I can?"
"No... But I'd still like to see it."
Hero let out a chuckle as he raised his hand up. "Right. Well. Keep watching then. I'm going to become the Hero my mother thought I could be. I'm going to become the greatest Hero Otoko I can be." He brought his arm down stepping forward and vanishing through the hole.
Labby watched him leave for a few more moments as he let out a small sigh. "Strange indeed."
