Ackerman Faces Exile! (Part 2 - Finale)

(As most of Beijing was under evacuation, Mike and Exile were continuously in a brutal fight with each other, Exile being the stronger one in the fight, as Mike was faster. Exile would rocket Mike directly into an occupied building with a destructive punch, stopping himself from colliding any further. With Mike given a second to breathe, he'd expect Exile to attack Mike from behind as Mike rushes out of the building, witnessing Exile destroy an entire office building in one punch.)

"Mike: ..Tch, damn bastard!!"
"Exile: For a rat, you're quite fast on your feet. It seems these weaklings are the reason why you won't fight me at your true strength?"

(As Mike rushes to Exile for a powerful kick to the face, a whirlpool of wind builds behind Exile, the strength of the wind destroying all in its path from behind as Exile has grabbed his leg in time and crunches multiple ligaments in Mike's right leg, forcing Mike to scream in pain before delivering a destructive flip kick to separate the two, as Mike's right leg getting crushed was the worst time possible for an injury.)

"Mike: Shit.. My leg..."
"Exile: EYES ON ME!"

(With Mike off guard for a mere moment, Exile would punch Mike directly from the sky, crashing the two directly into the ground, trembling the ground, and forcing more wind to create more destruction to the surrounding area as Mike's neck was punched with direct force.)

"Mike: AGGHH!!"
"Exile: The look on your face right now makes me more intrigued by the moment. I wonder what face you'll make when I separate your head from your shoulders!"

(As Exile grips the neck of Mike and intentionally wrings his neck, syphoning Mike of oxygen, Mike reaches for his revolver at lightning speed, and with a quick draw of three bullets, each bullet pierces through the shoulder, chest, and head of Exile, allowing Mike to separate from Exile while giving him room to breathe as Exile pulled each of the three bullets out of his shoulder, body, and head with ease while his guard was off for a split moment, allowing Mike to connect a destructive punch to Exile's face, knocking him afar as he'd fall to one knee by the force of the impact.)

"Exile: ...Impressive..! Your strength hasn't lacked one bit, Michael! Now, let's see you fight for your life!"

(With Exile at a rocketing speed to Mike, Mike would stand where he is, anchoring his left foot directly into the ground, and with an echoing thud of impact, Exile was dragging Mike back as far as he could as Mike's foot remained anchored into the asphalt street, showcasing the sole resistance of the Ackerman blood. Mike would then grip Exile by his beard, and with the activation of the Scroll of Agility, Mike's speed would increase for every spin, creating a massive tornado within the heart of Beijing. With Exile not able to keep up with the G-force, Mike would throw Exile directly into the sky, the entire windstorm dragging debris up into the air with him.)

"Mike: ....Tch.. I can't fight with my leg like this, and I'm already exhausted from those Cyborgs... I need to make this call quickly."

(With Mike immediately punching in the code to recall his Battle Suit, the suit would be half-charged at the battery, as it begins to fly out to Mike immediately. With thunder roaring in the skies, Mike knew there was not a lot of time before Exile returned to the surface. Mike would focus on the agility and speed of his broken leg, healing it enough to stand, but it is not healed enough yet for a physical altercation. With Mike being notified of an incoming object in the distance, his suit has arrived at high speeds. Mike then jumps into the air as the ground begins to tremor from a roaring thunder coming from the skies. With seconds to act, the battle suit would immediately connect to Mike and intensify its defensive barriers to protect him at the final second of impact, as a heat-seeking Exile connected his two powerful fists to Mike. Crashing him and the battle suit directly into the ground, as the force of the impact was powerful enough to destroy a large portion of Beijing right off the map. Buildings toppled, homes incinerated, and many lives were lost within moments. As Mike was plunged into the upper mantle of the Earth, his battle suit was in a critical state, as Mike was unharmed... But his suit was unable to repair itself.)

"Mike: Damn it..! NO! Come on, baby, work with me..."

(Mike would attempt to override its controls to force the regenerative process, but the damage was too far done; the battle suit would shut down and automatically open the suit for Mike to escape, as the battle suit was officially done for. As Exile would walk towards the massive crater he had put into the ground, he'd begin to speak on the strength of the Ackermans.)

"Exile: Your strength, Michael. It has been wasted on theatrics; you intend to entertain these fools rather than bask in the true glory of the Ackerman strength. The Empire can awaken your true calling, your true purpose as an Ackerman in blood. You continue to defy your purpose; that is why we cannot accept you as one of us. You are an outsider to the Ackerman dynasty, and it is up to me, as for the rest of us within The Empire, to ensure you never pose a threat to our true destiny, as that is ruling this world, as the Gods we are born to become."

(Exile would sense the air for bloodlust, but it was not coming from Mike. It was coming from another individual in the area.)

"Exile: Show yourself. If you're a survivor hoping to stand against The Empire, you will fall just like your hero."

(With lightning speed, Exile would be kicked back by a dropkick from an angry Raneri, who has entered her Awakening state.)

"Raneri: GRRR!! DAD!"

(As the word "Dad" immediately echoed down to the crater, Mike was currently working on reactivating his battle suit until he heard that word echo down to where he was, freezing him for a moment. Mike would put down his hands and realize that the voice was Raneri.)

"Mike: ...Raneri.. RANERI!"

(With the urgency to protect her, Mike would forcefully reactivate the Scroll once more to return to the surface as Raneri was pissed at Exile, who wiped his chest with his hand.)

"Exile: You must be Michael's adoption. It's such a shame he cannot procreate such true, worthy ones for the Ackerman name."
"Raneri: SHUT UP, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DAD?!"
"Exile: He's posed himself as an enemy to our kind, and he was due to suffer under brutality."
"Raneri: ...You bastard..! I'LL KILL YOU!"

(With Raneri's speed and attacks remaining unpredictable, Exile could not connect a strong enough attack to put Raneri down as her claws slash across and around Exile's unprotected body. Raneri would then avoid a caving punch into the ground as she'd ricochet by using the crater, launching herself into the air and propelling herself directly to the surface, slashing Exile's body once more with the same attack she attempted to kill Daxton with back then. With Exile's blood leaking all around the ground, Raneri backed as far as she could, awaiting his body to fall over. Within moments, Exile's arms would begin to move, repositioning his dislocated limbs one by one as Raneri prepared for another attack.)

"Exile: ...Not bad, this Awakening of yours is very strong."
"Raneri: It doesn't mean NOTHING, COMING FROM MY FATHER'S KILLER!"

(With Raneri bursting of speed toward Exile from behind, it was a trap. Exile times the turn, faces Raneri and delivers a SKULL SHATTERING hammer with his bare hand to Raneri, bashing her entire face into the surface, engraving Raneri's face into the asphalt along with her blood splashing onto Exile.)

"Exile: You're strong, little one, but not strong enough to kill an Ackerman."

(Exile would pull Raneri by her long hair as her Awakening was shutting down, and with one glance at her motionless body, Exile was able to tell her status. Raneri was killed in one hit, due to blunt force trauma to the brain.)

"Exile: May you enjoy the afterlife, knowing you've chosen death against a God."

(With Exile attempting to decapitate Raneri, Exile was delivered a deafening elbow strike by the returning Mike to the stomach, forcing him to drop Raneri, and the force of the impact sent Exile far across the two as he was struggling to breathe. Mike would catch Raneri before she collapsed to the ground, attempting to resuscitate her despite her grotesque injury, her forehead exposing pieces of her brain, and her blood gushing down her head.)

"Mike: ...Not you, Raneri. Not you..! Come on..!"

(Mike would hug Raneri closely to transfer bits of his scroll's power to Raneri. To his surprise, he'd notice Raneri's injury beginning to close up as the Scroll of Rebirth was activated to resurrect Raneri.)

"Mike: ...Thank goodness."

(With Exile jumping back toward Mike, Exile would then rip off his protective armor, his claw marks received from Raneri would reveal endless scars across his body. Despite his breathing remaining labored, Exile was ready to fight to the death.)

"Exile: This is the consequence when you choose to fight against The Empire, Michael H. Ackerman. Your pathetic adoption has chosen to fight against us, and now her soul will forever rot, haunted by such a fact!"
"Mike: ...Fuck. You."
"Exile: Hm?"
"Mike: Fuck you. Fuck your "Empire." Fuck your morals. Fuck you, AND the Ackerman family! The number of years I've had to suffer because of my last name, and to think it was all because of my bastard father... And now, the one time I try to fix myself, and the world, here comes the exiled piece of shit."

(Mike would gently lay the unconscious Raneri down on his folded shirt, comforting her head until she awakens.)

"Mike: I'm done being nice, and I'm done hiding my true self. I will never forgive the Ackerman family for the years my sister and I had to survive through hell. From now on, you're not facing Michael Ackerman, Exile. You're facing the Number #1 God of Combat, Codename: DESTROYER."
"Exile: If that's what you believe you are, then show me your true strength, Michael!"

(With Exile and Mike jumping directly into the air, the two would engage in a clash in mid-air, thunder roaring across Beijing as the entirety of China was on high alert, and still no help was around for Mike, for it was no longer needed. With Exile pinwheeling out of the sky and crashing into debris, Mike's use of the scroll would begin to overexert its usual limits as Mike palms the face of Exile, throws him straight to the ground, and delivers a double stomp to the chest, engraving Exile into the ground. With a raining combo of consecutive punches from a raging Mike, Exile would tank punch after punch before propelling himself back into Mike's range with both arms slammed into the ground, allowing Exile to deliver a destructive right hook to Mike's face, and Mike then delivers the same. The two exchanged blow after blow with Exile's strength continuing to climb during the fight. Mike would grab the head of Exile, delivering a thunderous headbutt, leading to a large crack in the skull, and the force would temporarily stun Exile, for he was now blinded. With Exile down to one knee, Mike would grab a lamppost ripped from the ground, and with the force of a gun, send Exile across the destroyed grounds of Beijing with one powerful swing. Arriving momentarily to protect Raneri would be Senri, who sees the unconscious Raneri and was worried she was gone for good.)

"Senri: RANERI!! PLEASE WAKE UP..! IT'S SENRI..!"
"Raneri: ..."
"Senri: Raneri, please!"

(With one eye open, her right bloodshot eye would leak blood out of her tearduct as she saw Senri. She was happy to see her, but upset that Senri had to see her in such a state.)

"Raneri (Pained): ..S-Sen..ri... I'm.. s-sorry.."
"Senri: N-No... Don't apologize..! I'm just.. happy you're okay... Who did this to you...?"
"Raneri: ..D-Dad.. is fighting.. him.."

(With a loud crack echoing in the battlefield, Exile was then crash-landing onto the ground before Mike flashsteps right behind Exile, delivering a powerful side kick to the spine, snapping the spine directly in two, then palms Exile's bald head, flipping him onto his face, this time, engraving his face into the remaining asphalt, Senri protecting the injured Raneri from the debris cloud, as a shadow stepped in front of the two, protecting them both from the debris.)

"Senri: Huh..?"
"Renzo: ..You two okay?"
"Senri: ..Yeah, thank you, Renzo."
"Renzo: Don't mention it."

(With Mike's agitated body ready to shut down on him, Mike still intends to stand where he is, staring down at the defeated Exile.)

"Mike: ...Get up. Where's all that bravado about you and your damn Empire?!"
"Exile: ..."
"Mike: I said. Get. Up. GET UP!"

(As Exile was unable to move due to his snapped spine, Exile began to laugh as Mike kicked him over to lie on his back.)

"Exile: This.. This is what a true Ackerman's strength is... For a damned fool, you really have shown what I've wanted..!"

(Mike would impale the same lamppost he'd used earlier into Exile's shoulder, chopping off his arm in the process as Exile's yells of pain echo through the battlefield.)

"Exile: AAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHH!!"
"Mike: ..."

(With Mike needing no words to say, he'd grip the neck of Exile himself, and with a tightening grip, Mike would rip off Exile's head, cleanly and brutally, along with the remaining piece of his spine connected to the head.)

"Renzo & Senri: ...!"
"Mike: ..."

(With Mike's battle-sore body then turning over to see Renzo protecting Senri and Raneri the entire time, he'd walk over to the three, holding Exile's head, as Senri was terrified of Mike but knew he didn't mean harm.)

"Mike: ...Renzo."
"Renzo: ...?"
"Mike: ..Thank you."
"Renzo: It's no problem. Raneri sensed danger before the rest of us. When she ran off, I followed Senri and her... and here we are."
"Mike: ...I am grateful to you three. Come on, the fight's over."

(With Mike carrying Raneri and Senri walking with Renzo and Mike, the battle with Exile was over. Beijing has suffered irreparable damage, and nearly the entire city will have to be rebuilt anew. Admittedly, Renzo now knew about Mike's true personality and had elected to keep it to himself from now on. Mike would then turn on his communicator with the Global Government, confirming that the threat had been eliminated, the damage caused by the threat, and the casualties among the most brutal fight in all of China, resulting in the loss of millions of lives, within minutes. With the four continuing their walk, Mike's body has now reached its limit as he then splurts blood out of his mouth, falling to both knees was nearing his collapse as he protected Raneri from falling to the ground, as Senri and Renzo realized, and Senri immediately helped him as much as she could.)

"Senri: Mike!"
"Renzo: That fight must've triggered from internal injuries, we need to get him help, fast!"
"???: It seems he's overused the Scroll's abilities."

(Arriving to help would be Wukong, who was carrying a special drink to combat the effects of scroll overexertion.)

"Renzo: Wukong!"
"Wukong: Mike, can you hear me?"
"Mike: ..Wukong..?"
"Wukong: Listen, I need you to drink this, okay?"

(Wukong would pour a bit of the drink into a small cup he's brought with him, and Mike would drink the cup, his body immediately healing itself from the scroll's effects as Mike began to breathe freely and catch his breath.)

"Senri: Mike... W-Wait, Mr. Wukong, can you help Raneri too?!"
"Wukong: Let me see her injuries."

(Wukong would also examine Raneri's head-related injuries, using a backup cup to pour the same drink, allowing Renzo to feed Raneri the drink. The two would be recovering from their injuries as Mike regained his strength to remain on his feet while Raneri was still carried in Mike's arms.)

"Mike: ..Wukong, quit making me owe you favors..!"
"Wukong: Favors are unnecessary, Mike. You're my friend and colleague, and I apologize for not assisting in your battle."
"Mike: It's alright, I'm just glad you came to help. Where are the others?"
"Wukong: Tuzi is currently keeping an eye on our master, as for the rest of my siblings were instructed to help with the evacuations."
"Mike: I see, Senri and Renzo, what about the others?"
"Renzo: After we finished up with the Cyborgs, the group managed to separate and assist others with injuries or evacuation into the shelters. No sign of Daxton, however..."
"Mike: ...Hm. I see, Wukong, we'll have to hold off on visiting The Oni. I need a vacation."
"Wukong: I understand, Mike. There is no rush, so please, take all the time you need."

-One Week Later...-

(Within one week on a Sunday Morning, all remaining survivors across Beijing were mourning for the ones who had died one week ago. Meanwhile, the Gods of Combat, along with the Marines, who are also tired of their battles, were all called to the Global Government headquarters in China. With Mike then returning to the headquarters himself, he'd walk in with his body coated in bandages as he was the most injured out of the Gods.)

"Mike: Apologies, everyone, for my tardiness."
"Pandoni: Hey, Destroyer, what's the need to call these damn Marines again?"
"Karla: Got a problem with us, fatass?"
"Pandoni: Hey, betta' watch your damn mouth, while you were licking your wounds, we all nearly died last week!"
"Scott L. Sawyer (Age: 41 | U.S Marines Corporal | Nickname: Sky Emperor): Watch your mouth when you're talking to the woman! You may outrank her as a God, but she'll still kick your ass!"
"Pandoni: Is that a threat or a promise? I can't tell when you damn Americans are so damn ret-"
"Joseph Santi (Age: 43 | U.S Marines Second Lieutenant | Nickname: Aces of Spades): -Finish that sentence with the wrong word, and I'll slit your tongue out of your throat."
"Izushima Yumori (Age: 22 | 9th God of Combat | Nickname: Martial Princess): W-Wait, everyone, can we please calm down?!"

(With everyone continuing to threaten and argue with one another, Mike would then inhale and exhale calmly as he throws down multiple brochures to a specific spa resort, the brochures themselves managing to stop the confrontations in seconds.)

"Everyone: ...?"
"Mike: I called you all today to order everyone here, Marines too. Come to this spa resort by the end of today, or lose your job. That is all."

(As Mike then begins to leave the room, he pauses for a moment.)

"Mike: If I hear any more threats or arguing, I'm killing everyone in this room. Don't test me when I'm in the mood to kill."

(With the doors then opening and closing for him to leave the room, he'd leave the headquarters entirely and is greeted by a recovering Raneri and Senri, who were both waiting for him outside the HQ.)

"Senri: How.. did it go?"
"Mike: Smoothly, I know they'll go. We all need two weeks out of the city."
"Raneri: I'm still confused on this 'Spa' thing.. Is it a type of food?"
"Mike: You'll see when we get there."

(As Raneri climbed onto Mike's shoulders, she'd purr gently as if she was some feral cat, but Mike did not fight it; he'd let her do as she pleased after remembering a week ago.)
