Ane's Rage

Ane stared at MM with a deadly look. MM unhesitantly shot at Ane firing a kick to the teen's head which Ane ducked to then punch the figure in his stomach. Ane then tripped MM before slamming him into the ground while flying over the man. "Shit." MM thought as Ane punched him continuously causing a crater. As Ane was about to lay a final punch; MM seemed to vanish and reappear far across the boy where he fell to his knees; spitting blood that dripped out the mask. "At this rate he might..." he thought as he eyed Ane who lifelessly approached.

MM stood; blades appearing in his hands. Ane roared causing MM to be pushed back a little but MM immediately shot at Ane; slicing. Ane bit the weapon; shattering it to then uppercut MM and kick the man away. The figure flipped to his feet to immediately shield himself with his other sword. Metal clanged as Ane stood before MM; slashing with the same weapon the figure had in hand. "The exact same weapon?" Ene thought; raising an eyebrow before eying the girls who were watching Ane attentively.

Ane jumped back and had the blades and his claws then grew as long as the blades were which were identical to the claws. Ane roared again, the crimson aura blasting from his body and cutting through rocks and everything in it's path. Lana grabbed Eina and Ene jumped out of the way. The trio landed by one another. "You girls alright?" Ene asked.

"Yup." Eina replied with a faint smile.

"Well, she's a bad liar." Ene thought. The dragon's laughter was heard and the teens turned their attentions to the fight. Ane was grinning at MM.

"It's suitable that it's you who caused me to be unleashed!" the dragon yelled through Ane; grin growing.

"I wonder." MM remarked as the same crimson aura appeared around around him. "It's about time this ends." he said as the blades reappeared in his hands. "I'm gonna lose in my current state but...I'll survive at least by using this." MM thought while nodding. Ane rose an eyebrow.

"You expect to beat me without even unleashing the first stage!? Wait, don't tell me you haven't unlocked it?" he teased laughing before appearing in front of MM who he then slashed at. "How pathetic." Ane remarked gravely as blood sprayed from MM who then headbutted the boy away but Ane instantly stopped himself and uppercutted MM before grabbing the man's head. Ane stared at the man silently for a few seconds before flinging him aside. MM flipped to his feet in midair. The opponents clashed; firing attacks continuously. Ane's fists landed into MM's face; slightly cracking the mask. MM slashed at Ane who blocked with his large claws. Ane flew back and MM flew after him. The teen dodged MM and kicked him down but MM held Ane's foot and flipped the boy away. When Ane looked at MM he saw there were three of the man there. One punched Ane in the face and another kicked him in the face also. Ane calmly watched the sky as he fell back before all three MMs kicked him away. Ane rolled lifelessly before finally coming to a stop where he lay still. Ane casually stood and wiped his mouth. "Is that all then?" he asked. The MMs stared silently and Ane cracked his fingers to then apear in between two MMs; punching both in the stomach. They grabbed his shoulders and fired kicks which he effortlessly held to then slam them into the ground where the clones faded away. Ane eyed the real MM slowly and the man stared back. Ane's aura burst around him and he grinned before shooting at MM and landing a kick to the figure's nuts. Ane roared as he sent the figure flying backwards. Ane grabbed MM's leg as he appeared besides the man who was still in the air and Ane kicked MM causing the figure to spin. Ane then concentrated on a fist as he collared MM to a stop. "Straight Forward Punch!" Ane yelled as he fired the punch at MM's stomach. Blood sprayed at the mask's sides. "That's how the attack goes." Ane growled cockily as MM fell to the ground.

"H-he did it!" Lana yelled smiling and jumping up cheerfully.

"Oh; not yet...girl." Ane remarked; eying the teens to then smirk viscously. Sid who was observing the fight from his original position; frowned.

"This isn't good." he thought.

"I'm gonna pay him back for killing Conner...oh, should I had said uncle?" Ane said; laughing while holding his face.

"That isn't Ane anymore is it. It's the dragon." Ene remarked as he stepped forward. Ane watched him and Ene's body thumped and he then fell to the knees; terrified.

"Even Ene got so terrified just because of a look. We can't do anything." Eina whispered while holding Lana who was also going to step forward. Lana frowned.

"We have to at least try." she said.

"Stay right there." Sid said as he stepped past the girls and towards Ane. "I'll handle this." he said doing a shaky thumbs up and grinning nervously. When he turned Ane was looming over him with a deadly look. Sid's body vibrated from fear and he weakly fell to his knees.

"Is that what fools call bravery?" Ane inquired laughing as he turned away. Sid saw a vision of Conner and gulped before standing. "Oh?" Ane asked as he turned back to Sid who then punched him. Wind blew across the landscape and then rage filled Ane's face and Sid stared. "Do you want to die!?" Ane inquired as he grabbed Sid's throat and raised the teen.

"Is this what Conner would want?" Sid asked strainfully. Ane's face lightened up slightly and he released Sid.  Ane barely opened his eyes as he lay amidst a crimson void.

"What is this?" he thought.

"I highly doubt it." Sid remarked in reality as he stood.

"Silence!" Ane yelled as he punched Sid in the face causing a tooth to fling from the teen's mouth.

"Conner had a message for you actually." Sid stated as he turned back to Ane. "He said that you must defeat that masked guy and that you should never give up." Sid began. Ane frowned.

"Shut up!" he yelled as he uppercutted Sid. The real Ane stared about him in the void.

"Never give up." he whispered.

Conner smiled at a young Ane and gently rubbed the boy's head. "I'm going to leave you now Ane but do not worry. You'll be okay. Whatever comes your way; never give up. You'll always be the one to prosper." Conner remarked nodding. The young Ane nodded.

Ane smiled as tears ran down in his face out the seal. "Huh? What is this?" he then asked; holding his face in disgust. Sid smiled.

"Lastly...he also said that hard work will never beat pure skill if the hard worker slacks off a bit." he began as he rose a hand. "So don't slack off." he said; flicking Ane's forehead. Ane's body returned to normal as he saw a glimpse of his uncle smiling through Sid. Ane smiled and hugged Sid.

"I won't." Ane whispered. The other teens joined the hug and Ane looked like he was being suffocated.

"Okay guys. You can stop now! My body hurts all over." he remarked.

"Sorry." the others said as they let him go. Ane sighed and smiled at a pointing Lana weakly before his eyes rolled up as he passed out.

"Ane!" Lana and Eina screamed. 

"Will he be okay?" Lana asked tearfully.

"He was fighting daily from the time he got his powers so he might be out for a few days." Sid stated.

"Yup. Student council and now this." Ene added.

"They didn't punish me because I only missed one day." Lana stated.

"I didn't get punished either cause I actually handed in my assignments despite missing classes." Eine said smugly; eying Ene who lifted Ane.

"Yeah yeah." he said sulkily. The girls smiled as Ane mumbled.

"I'll enlist in your school as well." Sid remarked; nodding. Eina nodded and Sid flew off.

"Let's get him home then." Lana said as she gently stroked Ane's hair.

MM stared at the teens from afar; mask fixing itself as he laughed whizzingly. "The bastard did a number on me yet this freaking mask still didn't completely shatter. What a pain." he complained before teleporting away.
