Ghoul Town (Complete)

[Antary]

Day 1 - Day

How long has he been running for? Nonstop ever since he left his master a couple of days ago. Antary didn`t want to stop, to not have Nam waiting on him forever or make it seem like he`s slow. But other than that, there was something else. Why does he want to prove anything to Nam anyway, is he looking forward to looking him again?
The only thing that was clear, however, is that the saiyan`s been running for 2 days now, nonstop. He was thirsty and hungry, out of breath and sleep deprivated. Looks like Antary was running up some sort of hill, since this specific part of his running course (even though there was none) was slightly harder than the rest. Finally getting to the top of the hill, he could see a pretty large town, maybe even a city. "Phew, a perfect place to rest."
Finally, the forest was behind him. It was difficult to navigate there, constantly moving around trees, while may not sound difficult, it really was considering the speed Antary was running at. It was also pretty new to actually run long distances instead of flying.

The first thing he did was to get food and drinks. Even though not realizing it, he ordered tons of food at one of the most expensive restaraunts in this town and left without paying because he was not familiar with the basic concept of paying for food. Off to a nice start, huh?
Now all he needed was rest. The saiyan was not allowed into anywhere with a bed due to lack of money, but a roof of a building should do just fine. The one Antary settled on seemed to have some sort of conference going on, with lots of debates and loud arguing. Obviously, he could not sleep, "Might as well listen, maybe it`s interesting." He climbed down the fire emergency ladders, leaning against a wall next to the open window and closed his eyes.
"The creatures that I like to call ghouls really do exist. And they seem to haunt this town for some reason. The last murders prove my theory was correct all along after all, yes?" Said a squeaky high pitched voice, but it probably wasn`t a woman, sounded like an old man instead. A woman tried responding "No, the murders are just a coincidence-" Only to be interrupted. "A coincidence?! Have you ever seen bloody murders like those leave absolutely no clues and done with what seemed like godly strength?!" "Calm down, Carl, you are only making it look like you are defending the actual murderer by claiming that this was a zombie`s job." Someone said with a low, quiet voice. This conversation was going on for so long without even nearing any sort of end, Antary decided to change the buildings.
*BANG*
A woman started screaming. The saiyan instinctively took a look inside. There were rows filled with seats and shocked people, all staring in horror at one single thing. A dead man, laying over a table, blood coming out of a huge bullet wound in his head. He was obviously dead. Antary jumped inside, rushing for the door where he noticed a distinct hole, about the same size as the one in that man`s head. However after opening the door (actually he broke it because it had to be pulled to be opened), there was nobody, only an open window. And in the window, there was nothing. He could hear people sliding their chairs, running up to the killed man in panic, shouting the others to get some help. There wasn`t anything else to do for Antary, he was not a doctor, in fact he was now probably the main suspect, so he simply jumped out the window and escaped.

Well, that was pretty shocking. That was something the saiyan did not expect to see. What kind of town is this? He picked up an old, ripped to the point of almost being unreadable news paper and began reading. "The ghoul claims another victim!!! Is O-live Town cursed?" O-live town? What kind of a name is that? "Hmm, maybe this ghoul is strong. It says he comes out at night to hunt for victims, maybe I`ll be able to sense him. Eh, I don`t want to waste time, I still have to get to that lookout place. I`ll sleep for now." Sleeping was a difficult proccess, because if he let out his energetical stability, the weights would crush everything under him, causing Antary to fall to the... Well, really deep underground.


Day 1 - Night

But, that did not concern the saiyan right now. He felt horrible due to lack of sleep during the last couple of days, so there was not exactly a way to sustain energy. Antary woke up in a pile of rubble, somewhere in the ground and not on a roof, where he should have been. "Well, I guess nobody noticed. Whatever." Jumping out and doing a couple of flips just for the sake of it, he noticed that it is already night. The town went almost completely silent for some reason. Antary returned to the higher ground, back to the roofs and looked around. There really wasn`t a damn person around. How late was it, anyway? Isn`t this town big enough to have at least SOME people doing things at night? Finally, he can see someone. A woman.

Antary couldn`t tell what was wrong. He was struck by a sensation of unreasonable fear. So was the woman. She was almost running away from something. It felt like the shadows themselves were alive.
Suddenly, a loud shattering noise made the saiyan almost deaf for a moment. All the windows in the surrounding houses almost literally exploded, shattered glass everywhere... And a now dead person laying on the ground, near the glass.
"What? What happened?.." He could feel it. Something was behind him, that was clear as day. But the saiyan simply could not turn around. What is this? Is this what true fear is like? He never felt such a demonic presence before, not even when fighting Meishi. Grabbing whatever willpower he had, Antary turned, and that saved him from getting cut into half.
With a swift rotation, he managed to avoid a sword coming down at him with incredible speed, and was literally split seconds from killing him. The wielder of the sword was something not human. It was some sort of man surrounded by a pitch black substance, as if armor. Was this even a man? He resembled one, but lacked any facial features other than empty eye spaces. This demon rushed for Antary.

It followed. It did not run, it flew slightly above the ground, the saiyan however forced to stick to it, hopping to roof from roof, trying to get away. "Why am I running? If it`s that ghoul thing I heard about, I should fight it!" Time to stop running away from it and go on the offensive. Increasing his running speed, Antary jumped forward on a taller building, turns his body so that he faces the monster and started literally gliding, using a hand for support, luckily passing all windows.
Using another hand to stop himself completely on the wall, he then charged forward, towards the creature. Antary boosted gave himself a huge boost of speed and then hopped off the wall slightly, causing a change in the trajectory and slamming a fist right into the being`s face... Assuming that this is the face and not the back of its head.
No damage was done. It only leaned its head back because of the force of such a high momentum punch. The ghoul grabbed Antary by the hand and threw him into the wall of the building the saiyan was using for his maneouver. The warrior flew straight through, crushing furniture among other things that he could not recognize by slamming with his back, and flew through the other side.

The landing was just as harsh, Antary ended up rolling on another roof. Because of the momentum the boy flew right off it, only barely grabbing the edge to prevent himself from falling. But the demon was already there. He`d be probably laughing if he... could? Could this thing even laugh? Yeah, speaking of that, what the hell is Antary even fighting right now? It was pretty good at swinging it`s sword, even though it did not manage to hit the saiyan once, it would do it eventually, maybe right now. The black guy took a swing, almost cutting off the warrior`s fingers, which he managed to move out of the way just in time. Although there was the minor problem of falling, at least he still had 5 fingers. After another rough landing, it was time for an escape. He quickly changed directions, trying to confuse his opponent (yeah, right) and made a run for it, now accompanied by loud sirens all over the town.

It was an exciting chase scene, straight out of an action movie. Their speeds were evenly matched, although the ghoul had the height advantage, being able to fly and all that. Seeing how just outrunning will be impossible, Antary started to throw things at it. Whether a car, a garbage can or a light pole, he chugged everything he ran into. Even though, it not only had no effect on the enemy, it allowed him to counter attack. With each slash he made at the things that were thrown, cutting energy blasts appeared and moments later were thrown at the saiyan. Only thanks to the advanced sensing taught by John was he not cut into pieces and actually managed to dodge all the slashes.
There were lights further down the road. "FREEZE, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!" Though neither of them stopped, causing the men in black armor to shoot with their SMGs. Although some really hit, none could do damage. "WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEEEEAAANNN" The saiyan screamed, using a police car as a trampoline to jump high on a roof of some building. A bad choice.

While there really was a high jump, it was not fast enough, causing the ghoul to grab Antary by the back of his head and slam into a roof. It cracked and almost shattered, but suddenly the boy did not feel anything pinning him to the building anymore. The dark prescence was gone, just like the night. "What the hell?.."

[Antary]

Day 2 - Day

Along with the rising sun`s orange light came confusion. Antary could not exactly comprehend the reasons why the thing that slammed him into the stone has now let go. Instead of the monster that attacked him, there was some kind of pitch black dust, ash more like all over him. He dusted it off his clothes, still confused. "I was really hit. This wasn`t a dream." The wounds on his head and the cuts on the roof all confirmed this. To add to the confusion, there was this constant noise, kind of like what giant flies would sound like. Looking up, there were machines that used rotating windmills to fly. They had huge flashlights on them, which they used to light up the area, specifically Antary who was just standing there, confused. A couple of men in black and blue armor leaned out of the open doors, one of them had some sort of device, in which when he started speaking made his voice a lot louder than normal. "STAND DOWN, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!" The saiyan, still confused, hurt and blinded by the lights did not really know how to respond, or what the hell that even meant. "I`m under a what?" Before even finishing his question though, he was showered with some kinds of balls that exploded on impact into green smoke. Suddenly the boy felt really sleepy, and without even realizing it fell to the ground, now in deep slumber.

Antary`s eyes slowly opened, followed by an intense headache. And that annoying buzzing noise was still there, just not as loud. His eyes were greeted by a dark green floor, clearly aged, with scratches and rust all over. He tried to move around and realized that he was buckled by steel restraints in a bench of some kind. It was pretty easy to break them, which the saiyan did, causing the 2 familiar men in black and blue armor to stand up and take notice. "What the hell?! Sit down, you`re not supposed to be awake! HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU`RE DOING?! SIT DOWN OR WE`LL SHOOT!" Antary didn`t care how loud he was getting shouted at. They couldn`t harm him with such puny firearms. He was busy doing other things. Like breaking down this steel door, only to reveal the fact that they are high in the sky, above the city. So to make this more fun, the saiyan used raw strength and a bit of energy to craft a board out of the steel door.
It looked like a snowboard, and probably worked like one. But out of steel. Obviously, the saiyan had no idea what a snowboard was, but he just got this feeling that he should make it. "Ooh, I`m so scared, what will I ever do?!" He dropped the board downwards, and leaped out upward. He then rapidly descended, grabbing the board and now spinning wildly, standing on top of it. The troopers opened fire, but either missed or, well... Did nothing.
No matter how strange this sounded, but Antary enjoyed falling like this more than just flying. Being confined to gravity was sure limited, but also a new and different experience. Now, to think of a way to actually land. The road below was filled with cars and people, hopefully though he won`t land on anyone. Other than that, he was headed right for a slope, so not only will he land smoothly, he will be able to continue moving on this board. And here comes the bumpy landing.
After the landing, Antary was moving at an incredible speed with just the steel board, sparks flying behind it. He did his best in trying to avoid shocked people and just as much shocked drivers, and succeeded. He also knew where to go. To the place where it all started, well, at least for him. To the murder scene.

It took a couple of minutes to get to that place. Finally, around the corner he could see the familiar yellowish building, along with the fire emergency ladder. There was a guard at the entrance, but Antary was not interested in him. Can`t say that for the guard, though. He just stood there, watching in shock as a tailed man is riding a steel board at him. The saiyan jumped, causing the steel board to bounce and fly right at the poor officer, knocking him unconscious. Antary, however, got to the ladder, and jumped into the audience room (through the carelessly open window, again) where the murder happened. There were 2 men in heavy jackets, who took out pistols as soon as they saw the boy. "Hey! The hell are you doing here?!" Antary just casually walked up to the desk, dried blood still visible there, but no body, which triggered a question. "Where is the body?" Though Antary was not an expert on this, it was at least a lead on, well, something. "The body? You mean the one that disappeared?" One of them said and got a punch to the shoulder by the other. "Gone, huh? Anyone knew this guy? Did he have any family, close friends?" The detectives stood silent, still pointing guns at him. The less talkative one grinned and was about to say something, "Probably going to be something witty." thought Antary, and interfered. He used zanzoken to slam the fail detectives against a wall, to which the more talkative guy spoke through shock as quickly as he could. "hehadadaughterbutwedontknowwheresheisgoddontkillmeplease"
The saiyan smiled, he got what he wanted, and promptly left. No reason to waste time now... Actually, even now there was absolutely no time left. The sun was setting. Looks like he spent most of the day sleeping due to that strange gas. He`ll try fighting the ghoul again, and from then, he`ll see what can be done.


Day 2 - Night

It`s that time again. The time when the night consumes this city, the time when the undead come out and murder innocents. What a terrible night to be outside. Although the streets were now livilier, supported by the police that was patrolling non stop since yesterday, which bothered Antary. Why start patrolling like mad after many murders were done already? Why this day?
No matter how strange that was, Antary had something he needed done. He was hiding in the night, running in alleys and jumping over roofs in search for what others would do anything to avoid. Attracting attention was not his intention, not to mention that they might use that annoying sleep gas again. Suddenly, there was an explosion.
After a quick rush to the source of it, the saiyan saw the thing that attacked him last night. A pitch black man like figure, wielding a sword, surrounded by four halves of police cars. The demon slowly turned it`s gaze upon Antary, but did nothing, as if awaiting for his attack. Foolishly, he took this free chance.
He jumped off the roof, diving right at the ghoul, spinning to add even more momentum to the kick. It hit!.. But it did no damage. He jumped off his shoulder, now sending punches at the monster`s chest, but it had no effect yet again. Looks like his foe was tired of this. He sent a single punch to the gut. That was enough to send the young saiyan flying towards a wall and go straight through.
Though Antary shortly came back to his senses and could now see the ghoul raise his sword up in the air. Thanks to his sensing ability, it was clear that it was gathering power at the very tip of the sword. It then swung down, sending a cutting blast of energy that sliced the building in half. Well, atleast Antary got out of the way right before the sword went down. And look, now he`s making his escape, again, using the collapsing building to easily get back on the roofs.

And so, the chase started once again. The saiyan hopped from roof to roof in massive and fast leaps, but on accident flipped and ended up crashing through a window and into someone`s appartament, though not wasting any time to run through and jump out of another window, now running down that house`s wall. Looks like the ghoul could easily catch up to him, just casually flying behind. But now it seemed to get serious, almost doubling its speed. Well, Antary had no choice but double his speed as well, engulfing himself in a bright white aura. Ahead of them was another police car block, and the police were shooting at them with machineguns, though that did bothered neither of them. It was, however, an opportunity to launch a counter attack. The saiyan speeded up even more, running at a police car.
He then grabbed the car, spinned and threw it at the ghoul, who obviously sliced it in half, setting off an explosion of 2 pieces, but the car was a distraction. Antary leaped forwards at the being, extending his arms, in his palms a transparent orange baloon of charged energy. Due to the fact that the demon was moving at an incredible speed in the opposite direction, the saiyan had less than half a second to release the shot. So he did.
The blast exploded at the back of it`s head, releasing loads of black smoke, removing everyone`s ability to see what was going on in the screen. Antary flew out of it, hit by his own attack.

The smoke disappeared, revealing the thing standing still, looking completely unphased by the attack. The saiyan felt like a weakling, this annoyed him greatly. He was about to do the most foolish mistake since his arrival on this planet. "Alright, you`ve had it now! Kaioken!" Red aura, sudden burst of power... and sudden weight on the shoulders and legs. Kaioken with these ridiculous weights on only did damage instead of doing both damage and giving power. It took a little bit to return the weights to their bearable weight, too. Enough for the ghoul to take advantage and swing with his sword.
Although Antary managed to duck, he still got kicked in the gut, but this time he did not fly away at an incredible speed, no, the demon instead lifted his leg (with Antary hanging on the tip it) and now preparing his sword to cut his limbs off. Great.
It stopped though, dropping the saiyan on the floor, now more interested in the policemen behind him. He began slowly walking towards them. "This is my chance... I`ll hit him with all I have."
The saiyan stood, proud and firm. The air around him began to sparkle with miniscule lightning bolts, he moved his arms back, concentrating all the energy he was releasing into the air, in his palms. Due to the wild and purely offensive potential of this move, it was practically impossible to focus it in just the hands. It engulfed Antary in a white electric aura, brightening up the dark night, along with attracting the ghoul`s attention. The ghoul, however, was busy. It was slaughtering the policemen. It slashed, punctured, literally tore in halves everything that was in the way, but it stopped as soon as Antary began charging up his strongest move. It is time. Antary moved his palms right at the monster, releasing all the energy in a straight beam.
The now unbound energy roared as it speeded towards the ghoul, lighting up the area, bright enough to temporarily blind those who were unprepared for this sudden light. The energy collided, releasing waves as if something was exploding non stop, shattering the ground, buildings, shaking down people, but it did not move. Something went wrong. If it was a direct hit, it would continue moving on, damaging the enemy more and more the further it went. But now, it was not. As a matter of fact, it was now moving back at him!

It got closer and closer, Antary had to put as much power as he could in order to prevent it from killing himself. At the very tip of the beam, he noticed some blue slashes. It`s the exact same blasts that were used a lot since the start of this battle. The saiyan did a little trick in which he detonated whatever energy was left, also exploding the sharp slashes that were pushing the beam back. That was pretty close, though.
A sudden sharp pain in the gut, one that the saiyan did not often experience, made him nearly black out, but only thanks to his willpower did he not. However, the punishment was only beginning. Looks like the being was having fun beating up Antary, delaying the quick death that would result from a couple of sword slashes or stabs, only using fists and legs to attack. This beating was going on for what felt like hours... Maybe it really did go for hours. Because the last thing the boy saw was that the blueish sky was now tainted with orange colors. After that, nothing.

[Antary]

Final Day.

Antary returned to consciousness, not the most pleasant way to start a day (again), but he`ll manage, seeing how he was at least laying in a fairly comfortable bed. The room he was in while not as comfortable, was still above the normal standards that existed back on his homeworld. Antary slowly gotten up, prepared for pain due to broken bones, but no. There was none. He was bandaged, too, but since there were no injuries, no point in these bandages. Carelessly dropping them on the floor, Antary began looking around. An old room, with an unpleasant yellow color on walls, the ceiling, and the floor, too. The lights were lacking, it felt like the whole room (which was pretty big, with a lone bed in the corner in which he was laying, and a small counter) was being lighted by a single candle somewhere in another part of this room. In the counter, he found his saiyan jumpsuit, all well and fixed up. Strange. How did he get here anyway? Well, soon he got the answers.

A knock on the door. Someone entered. A person wearing an elegant tuxedo, along with a fedora. He walked without noise with his fancy black shoes, and took a seat near the source of the only light. "Sit down." He calmly commanded. Usually, the saiyan was not one to follow orders like these, especially from someone he knew nothing of, but hey, he was still alive, in fact better than how he could have been. Antary took a seat on the bed, waiting for whatever the fancy gentleman had to say. "You have fought this Ghoul, so you now know almost as much as we do. He`s indestructible, no weapon at our disposal could do any damage, including your... special abilities. We don`t really know what your reasons to fight him are, or how you are even able to fight something like that bare handed, but hear me out. We are going to help you with defeating the ghoul. Our plan is to organize an orbital strike, however something needs to..."
"Not interested." He said. These people are probably not interested in destroying their entire town with this so called orbital strike, and since they are also not spiritual masters, something strong enough to destroy that ghoul thing will probably end up blowing up the town at least. "All you can do is just give me information." The man sighed, but understandingly nodded. "Very well. I`ll tell you all I know. That thing is... Not a natural thing, not alive either. We only call it "The Ghoul" because it`s how Carl Johnson described "those who lurk among us". He called himself a scientist, while in reality he was nothing else but a mad prophet. He kept on and on about it for years, however we only began to take his words seriously, once those murders started. They`ve been carried out the way he said, well, except his own death. You were there, you saw it. You obviously know what is wrong. Anyway, the murders were not simply meaningless, they followed a pattern. A prophesy left to us by the ancients. Well, the problem is... The next "murder" includes you, and then the whole town. Obviously, you are not interested in getting killed, and so are we. The entire police force in the town gave up, awaiting the unavoidable. You are the only hope. I heard you were looking for Carl`s daughter, and we managed to find her. However, be careful about delivering the news. It can make her shocked, and, well, she won`t tell you anything. You can go, that`s all we know, strangely enough." Antary nodded, and was led out of the room, which was actually a small house somewhere outside the town. He now had a paper with the address written on it, and a general direction.

It took an hour at most to get to the designated place, a huge appartment, about 30 stories high, said to be the biggest building in the town. The building itself looked pretty aged, or maybe it was damaged during one of their fights. It was hard to tell which building Antary was jumping on, because it did not bother him in the slightest. What did he expect? Nothing, really. All he wanted were answers. Though he expected the only solution to be raw strength. Well, who knows?
The saiyan ended up skipping the elevator, mainly due to the lack of knowledge about them, and took the stairs. To a capable warrior like him it wasn`t even a worthy warm up, to go up 30 floors. Speaking of training, he still had those darn weights. Antary tried taking them off many times, but they were like parts of his body, completely unremoveable.
Well, this is it. The door. He politely knocked, following the advice from that guy in a tuxedo to not rush with this whole thing. Well, what was about to happen, probably nobody could predict.
After a little while, when Antary was about to knock again, an annoyed female voice asked. "Who is there?" For a moment, Antary was a bit confused as to what to say. "Well, I uh... Am here to ask a few questions." The door briefly opened, revealing a fairly young girl, about his age, with wheat colored hair of a size that was not exactly long, but could not be called short, either. Her eyes were just as dark as Antary`s. "...About your father." He added, which was a mistake. Her expression of mild curiosity changed to plain annoyance and anger, causing her to loudly close the door right in front of his nose. "Go and die or something." The girl added through the now closed door.
Needless to say, Antary did not expect this sudden mood jump. The confusion quickly turned to anger as he was not getting what he came for, so he kicked the door, making it fly clean off and slam into a wall, surprisingly not breaking. The saiyan hopped into the appartment, where he saw that shocked girl just stare at where once was a door. Antary began angrily waving his fist. "Hey, what the hell is your problem, woman?! I`m trying to save this stupid town, and you are just telling me to go die?!" Geez, the nerve of these people. They should be grateful he`s even wasting time not training, investigating things he was not even interested in. "Besides, I`m not even going to ask that many questions, I-" She walked away into another room, completely ignoring the tailed man. Well, no choice but to follow her.
"...Yes, there is some tailed man that broke into my house. Yes, he seems pretty dangerous. I see. Idiotic police." The girl hanged up the phone, walked to the coach and started casually watching the TV, not minding a stranger (as she said, dangerous looking one) in her house at all. "They told me that you are one of them. How would they end up dealing with the Great Ape Monster, the destroyer of Central City?" That was a lie. He did not destroy it. What even gave her that idea? She noticed his confusion, and added. "I watch television, you were all over it. Could have at least changed your clothes, you idiot. Anyway, what did you want to ask? I don`t really like talking about my father, so do make it quick." What does she mean? Television? What? Huh? But Meishi destroyed the city, not him. Did she somehow see the battle? He didn`t sense a soul, she would have died. So she was somehow able to see the battle while not being there? Well, whatever. It was not the time for this. Her sudden change of attitude surprised the saiyan yet again.
Oh, now this was awkward. The boy did not even know what to ask, so he ended up standing there completely dumbfounded, awkwardly scratching his head, trying to get some sort of question arranged. Well, here goes nothing.

"So, who was your father, anyway?" The most basic question, but it`s a start at least. She turned off the TV and instead picked up a book, looking disappointed. Though whether she was disappointed in lack of any interesting programs or the question was hard to figure out. Though she spoke as if talking about something as casual as the weather. "He was a sadist, a mad preacher with crazy ideas and a genious of a scientist. Not the best combination. Since my birth he did not care about neither me nor mother. He often beat her for not letting him beat me." She closed her eyes, sighing. That sigh "cracked" slightly, as if she was sobbing. But when her eyes opened, there weren`t any tears, only the same dull look through those dark eyes.
Antary wanted to ask something, but she didn`t stop talking. "Since when I was born, he was constantly working on something. Something that he said would let him prevent his own prophecy. That idiot. Apparently he finished whatever he was doing, since I have not heard from him since a month ago... When the murders started." Failing to see any connection, Antary bluntly said. "You do know that your father was killed, right?" She remained as calm as ever. "He is not dead. He is immortal thanks to what he was making. He just had to make it look like a murder to not arise suspicion." The girl turned to him, though Antary already knew what was coming. "You probably know where I`m going with this, don`t you? He is-"

An interruption. She stopped, but Antary knew why. A familiar energy appeared. It was coming closer and closer towards them. The saiyan snapped out of this shocking sensation, acting faster than he thought he could. The next instant they were on the neighboring rooftop, the girl held by Antary, away from the now cut building, which crumbled and fell apart to the ground. She was shocked, the first clear emotion that the saiyan saw. Something was weird, though. It was still a bright, sunny day, an unusual condition for the ghoul to appear. Where was he, anyway? No matter how strong that thing was, it`s energy was simply impossible to sense, for whatever reason.
While Antary was struggling to actually see his foe, the foe, however, was raining energy slashes. Not thinking over it much, he started to run around, hopping from roof to roof. This felt strangely familiar.
Looks like the ghoul was striking with all he had, cutting down building after building, some slashes even exploding upon impact. Clearly running on the buildings was not the best choice right now, so after barely dodging yet another blast, he went downwards, to the main road, increasing his speed to the point where he ended up on the other part of the town within seconds.
"Wait a minute... Who is his target? Is it this girl? Is it me?" Speaking of that, he was still carrying her around. Why was he, anyway? He could just leave her in that building. Though if he spent any time thinking over it back then, they would both be dead.
The slashes stopped for a moment. While this may not be the best time to ask questions, in these circumstances it probably is. "So what is this stupid prophecy everyone keeps telling me about?" No time, not even now. There were more attacks coming. Because of the way they were shot, Antary was forced to run up the building, which was getting slashed from below, gradually going up, depending on his movements. The building finally collapsed, although Antary managed to jump on another one. There were 3 more coming, the first 2 blocked any escape route to the left or right, and the last one was certain to hit. With a roar the saiyan charged his hand with energy, and slammed it palm first into the cutting blast.

On the bright side, he managed to prevent himself from being cut into half. On the other side, his hand almost split into two. It was bleeding heavily, and moving it was not an option. He still had to carry that girl around, so now he lacked the ability to fight at all. As the building under him collapsed, Antary had to hop on yet another one. The city was in ruins. As far as he could see, there were only cut houses, malls and the like.
The bloodloss made him lose balance as he was jumping, so he ended up falling on his back, dropping the girl slightly further away from him. "Hey, get up!" She came up to Antary, helping him back up. Blood was constantly dripping on the ground off his hand. They were both up, both terrified. The ghoul was right in front of them, hovering. It raised it`s sword, causing whatever it was made of to spread all around them, consuming in some sort of cocon. It was a fairly wide area, would probably be able to contain about 15 people. But for now, it was only the three of them. Inside the cocon it was dark, though a slight blueish light was constantly emitted from it`s walls. It`s as if night had fallen.

Final Night.

The ghoul detached itself from the wall it created, the slight breach quickly consumed by the substance. The ghoul slowly descended, now simply standing right in front of the saiyan. It did nothing but stare, provoking him. This quickly got on his nerves, and he punched the ghoul, who took the hit. No effect, as expected.
It put a knee in Antary`s gut, and hit him with the sword`s handle on the head. The last hit caused the boy to fly, colliding with the dark blue walls, the collision then following yet another knee to the gut. Coughing up blood, Antary finally fell on the ground. The monster moved Antary so that he is in a sitting position, and raised his sword.
The saiyan took a single slash. Then another one. More and more, countless slashes, all directed towards causing pain rather than killing. They finally stopped. Antary was losing a lot of blood. Apparently he wanted to kill him via blood loss specifically, instead of killing him by going for the vital organs. He was now moving at the girl. Looks like he left him alive just for the sake of torturing his mind with what he was about to do. Anger, sadness, desperation. He could never defend anyone. Not the saiyans back on his homeworld, not his pride, not the people of this city, not even this girl, about to get killed by her own father. He`s going to die from bloodloss anyway, might as well protect what is important to him before that happens! With the last of his strength, the saiyan stood up. Luckily, one of his arms was still able to move. He began charging up his final attack. Raising his last arm upwards, at the ghoul. Antary never thought that there would be someone he could hate so much. Not even the alien who slaughtered his entire village. But why? Did he actually care about the people in this crappy town? "Damn, I`m getting too soft. But this is the end. You trapped yourself, nowhere to run! SAIYAN SOUL!" Surrounded by a bright aura, a mixture of white and red, perhaps from the blood or the fact that he was using kaioken unwillingly, it lighted up the entire sphere in which they were. That thing had nowhere to go, so when the attack was released, it took the hit, flying off into the wall. Due to lack of stamina, Antary could only maintain it for a couple of seconds, but it was a hit.
Once the beam stopped, the true identity of the ghoul was revealed. The very man who "got killed" back during the first day, now inside the substance that surrounded him like a suit. It felt like it was alive, and it regenerated, too, restoring the suit back to normal form.

"Unbelievable. I had never sensed such a horrible energy before. It felt like I just ate a turd. Disgusting." The intention was not to taunt him. The man`s energy could be sensed for the brief moments there was a breach in his suit, and Antary sure wished to have never breached it. The man`s energy was truly... disgusting. A foul feeling, like someone dead was still able to use his energy... But perhaps this was the case. The ghoul screamed, obviously angry at that last attack. The next attack was a killing blow backed up by hatred. The sword was stopped right before hitting Antary, however. The saiyan stopped it bare handed, with the disabled hand. He bursted with a red aura, and moved his hand away, literally crushing the sword and sending a massive punch with the other, not damaged hand. Direct hit.
The ghoul leaned back because of the strength of that punch, and the person inside the suit literally flew out of it and slammed into the wall he himself made. The substance that was once formed into a suit was now simply hovering on the place it was before Carl flew out of it, but then disappeared into smoke, just like the shell they were inside, temporarily blinding the three of them because of the sun`s natural light. The man was laying there, purple smoke coming out of his temples, where there was a huge bullet hole. With his blank eyes the man stared at Antary, but then as soon as the smoke all came out he died. Looks like someone else`s time has come, too. Light was disappearing from the saiyan`s eyes, and he started falling. "Don`t die!" A familiar high pitched voice shouted. "Shut the hell up, I won`t." Thought Antary, before falling and losing consciousness.


The Aftermath.

It was all finally over.
Antary woke up, greeted by the setting sun. He felt so tired, he didn`t even want to move. But there was something he had to still do, and that is get to the lookout. He stood up, welcomed by the sharp pain in... well, everywhere. as far as the boy could see, there were green plains. Looks like the city was somewhere pretty far from here. Antary was also bandaged, his saiyan jumpsuit mostly restored, but now in really poor quality, and some parts revealed the bandages. Beside him was that girl, who was apparently sleeping before he stood. "I tried my best in fixing you, gave you an old senzu bean that my mother gave me before her death... It saved you. My name is Alice, by the way." The saiyan turned to the setting sun and sighed. "My name is Antary. Well, then. I have to go. Thank you for your help." Alice, however, had other plans. "I am going with you. The city was destroyed." Antary turned to see a bike and that girl on it. She put on a helmet, and drove off at a pretty big speed. Due to the fact that he was wounded, it was a challenge to keep up. But only because of that. It was now time to move on, to the distant Lookout. A companion would sure make the trip less tedious.



PL please.

So....Long...

I suggest breaking it up into different trainings, since it took you a week to complete anyway. Then you might have less spelling errors. But great piece bro.

1. Grammatically speaking, Quotations should recieve their own paragraph, or start a paragraph. However most people here dont do that, instead they bold the quotes. Doing that seperates them from the text and makes it easier to read.

2. Seperating Paragraphs with a space makes it easier to read as well.


3. "he managed to prevent himself from being cut into half"

Very minor things like this, Cut into half sounds strange, and throws off the readers groove, making us read it once or twice more.


These were just a few, and again very minor this was a great piece, I can tell you worked hard on it
