A necessary sacrifice

The figure appeared from the smoke.

Large wide wings spread into the air majestically, highlighting the magnificence of the creature. It's skin was charcoal black, and as tough and scaly as those of a crocodile.

It's eyes... They were like crimson gems, and they were overflowing with hate and vengeance.

Tendrils of electricity raced around the creature's body, and as it moved, a misty dark mass of energy covered it's body.

It's hands were hidden by a thick mass of energy, that swelled and pulsed angrily, as it were alive.

A pressure descended around the creature, causing cracks to from in its path.

Gravity seemed to be reversed, as rocks seemed to be dancing in the air, around the creature.

Ultra-Point turned to face the creature, his cape blowing back from the wind pressure of the creature.

He frowned, before asking.

"What are you?"

The creature laughed; it's booming voice echoing in the empty street.

"Me!?" It asked thoughtfully. "I am Docter Palmer, but you can call me the collector.  I am here to collect a debt."

Ultra-Point stayed silent, watching Docter Palmer emotionlessly.

"Not very talkative I see... that's fine. Let us get this over with!"

The collector moved toward Ultra-Point at a comet-like speed, closing in instantly. He balled his massive fist and swung, ready to blow his opponent away. Calmly, Ultra-Point lifted a hand, ready to block the punch.

Boom!

The unstoppable punch met an unmovable block, sending shock waves in all directions. Large cracks formed on the ground, cars were blown away, and buildings crumbled.

The hood that hid Ultra-Point's face was blown black, revealing a youthful face. He had night-black hair that was slicked back, and 2 streaks, one red, and one grey, ran through his hair. His eyes were cold and ruthless, and his pupils were like angry red flames.

The collector didn't mind that his attack was stopped, he expected this kind of strength. No... he was ready for even more.

He punched again, with his other hand, but it was blocked. The swirling mass of energy on his hands became claws, and he swung at Ultra-Point. Ultra-Point stepped back, avoiding the attack. He then ducked low, avoiding another.

Ultra-Point stood up rapidly, swinging his fist upward. With an uppercut, he sent the collector high into the sky. Gusts of wind formed from the impact, and another massive wind pressure formed as Ultra-Point shot into the sky.

He soon reached the collectors body before he swung again, sending the creature higher in the sky. He followed, before landing another punch. Once again, the collector was sent higher up.

"Damn you!" The collector shouted, spreading his wide wings and forcefully stopping himself. Ultra-Point once again closed the distance, ready to strike.

 The black energy on  one hands danced and became a large shield.  Ultra-Point swung, his fist hitting the shield.

The strike was stopped, creating a sonic wave. In the collectors other hand, purplish tendrils of electricity had already formed. He outstretched his hands, and from his hands were streaks of lightning. It raced forward, striking Ultra-Point with great force.

CRACK!

A thunderous sound filled the air, and Ultra-Point was sent crashing to the ground. Before his opponent could rejoice however, he had already shot back up, red energy around his palms. He stretched out his hands, and a burst of red energy was sent at the collector.

The collector joined both hands to form an even larger shield.

BOOM!

The energy clashed with the shield, before dissipating.

Ultra-Point flew upward, already swinging his fist. It struck the shield, and this time the collector was sent flying back.

The collector stopped himself, before making the energy on his hand transform into a giant mace.

Ultra point closed in once again, ready to attack.

The collector drew back his hand, before swinging it at an inconceivable speed.

Ultra-Point caught the speeding mace with a single hand, shocking the doctor. Then, red energy danced around his other hand.

"Wha-?" The collector's eyes widened.

Boom!

He was sent toward the ground.

CRASH!

A crater was formed. The collector crawled out, his ebony body, cracked and battered. H struggled to stand, before turning to face Ultra-Point.

Ultra-Point outstretched his hand, and a crimson ball of energy began to form.

"Die." He muttered, the glow in his eyes as furious as ever.

On a building nearby, was the white-robed hero, Prosecutor. She watched as Ultra-point readied himself to end the fight, the red sphere growing larger and darker.

As she dropped her gaze to his opponent, she realized something. A couple of meters away, crawling from a crater on the ground, was a boy carrying a little girl. After a closer look, she realized something.

"Kofi? What the hell is he doing here?" She asked, puzzled. Immediately, she spoke into her communicator. "Ultra-Point, don't attack!"

"What do you mean?" The reply came.

"There are people down there!" Prosecutor said panickedly.

A pause followed followed before Ultra-Point spoke again.

"Prosecutor, how many people do you see?"

Prosecutor hesitated before almost whispering.

"Then, for the sake of 2 people are you willing to endanger millions. After all, that monster is potentially a country level threat."

Prosecutor stayed silent, unable to reply.

"Don't lose your head, girl..." Ultra-Point said. Then, he pushed forth energy.

The red energy flew forward like a dragon, consuming the monster, and filling the entire street with a red light.

Prosecutor watched on tearfully, as her friend was hidden within the destruction.

It was only now she knew the weight of those words:

A necessary sacrifice.
