The Destruction of Batana

THE ZENZEN 4

As a sign of the race starting, it was Arina who would blow the whistle. We both got ready for our positions. There is no such thing as luck. I have to really win this match using all my abilities.

Whistle ringing. There was a sound coming from our feet. Bastian is moving faster than in the previous game. He was a few meters in front of me. My concentration won't break even if he's far ahead of me. I am very calm at the moment. Accelerating my feet would only make me slip on the slippery muddy ground.

Lightning strikes. Makes our surroundings glow with light for a moment. My distance and Bastian's getting thin. One round has been passed which means this round is the deciding round. My steps stay awake. I leaned my body a little forward. Breathe my breath as best I can. Although the rain makes the eyes sore and difficult to see, I will not let my hands wipe the rain that flows from my forehead. One mistake will only make me lose.

We almost arrived at the finish line. That's when I took advantage of the situation. I put my whole mind on the leg. Why that? Because I'm taking advantage of Bastian's feelings. Everyone thinks they will win as soon as they get close to the finish line. But it is that feeling that can kill someone. Destroying the wishful thinking that was created before reality occurred. Because it will break a person's concentration and the feeling of pleasure has mastered it right before reaching the finish line.

I put all my mind. My bionic legs are roaring loudly. Smoke billowed from all over my bionic body. I make my feet as minimal as possible to touch the ground. Thus the mud will not be too annoying. I'm getting close to Bastian. When he was right in front of the line, I quickly darted. I was dragged a few meters because of the slippery ground field. Match over.

Bastian who watched me was already across the finish line fell silent. He fell on the ground. His body was dirty with mud. I'm sure he was hit hard. The other boys just gaped, not expecting me to win this race for the second time. Arina rushed over to us with an umbrella. Meanwhile I approached Bastian while standing in front of him. Bastian. I'm sure he still doesn't accept this harsh reality.

“You! Ador must have changed your bionic body mode back to how it was, right? Or he added something without our knowledge, right?” Bastian growled furiously. His eyes flashed with lightning light.

Arina has arrived overshadowing Bastian with an umbrella. “Bastian, let's go back.” Persuade him with a soft voice.

Bastian fended off Arina's touch. Keep insisting to stay in place. I just shook my head. It is disgusting to see someone who still acts like that even though his age is big.

“ANSWER MY QUESTION IF I ASK, DAMN IT!” Bastian shouted furiously. Trying to beat the roaring sound of rain.

I smiled cynically. “God... You're so childish. Let me tell you how I feel right now. I feel so good about you.”

“I DON'T NEED YOUR SYMPATHY!”

I'm shaking. “ No, this is not sympathy. Except the condescending sentence.”

Lightning snatched ferociously. His voice was deafening. Strong winds roaring. Make the rain drops to and fro.

“Then, the second thing I want to say is that you have lost the match this time just because of one feeling of your ambition that ended up wasting your time. You already feel you're superior just because of those new prosthetic legs. You feel like you're going to win this game just because you're already feeling stronger with that fucking leg. But that's where your mistake lies. I'm sure you couldn't concentrate at all during the game.”

Bastian exclaimed restrained. He clenched his jaw. “I don't need your talk. I just want answers to my questions!”

I smile back. “OK, then I will directly answer your question. When I raced with you earlier, my bionic body was still wearing the same simple fashion as yesterday's match. Actually I want to ask Ador immediately return to the previous mode. But as soon as I arrived at his room, the old man told me your lousy story that caused ear pain. So the conclusion is, I beat you using simple mode. Hows it? You're surprised, aren't you?”

Bastian rounded his eyes. Although the rain made her face faint, I know that right now she is very surprised by the fact. I'm sure he was crying after the game. I could tell from his voice that it sounded trembling and his breath roaring incoherently. Arina again persuaded him to the umpteenth time.

“You don't need to listen to his words, Bastian.” Arina whispered softly. Grip the umbrella tightly.

Bastian did not listen to Arina's words at all. He was still shocked by my words.

I laughed softly. “Arina, do not spread the virus do not listen to your words to others, dong. This man must listen to my words. One must awaken it from its long hallucination. That he's not the best. But he is the weakest. And will continue to be the weakest!”

Silent. There was only the sound of rain around us. Bastian. I exhaled for a moment. Then move from my position. Start to get away from him. But I heard the sound of very fast feet approaching me. I quickly turned around and found that the fist was already in front of me.

I rolled over, my body crammed the ground. The slickness of the ground made me bounce off a few meters. I tried to stop my body before it bounced further with my hand. Fresh blood flowed from the corner of my lips. I actually still managed to deal with that blow. But because I realized too late, as a result my lips were hit by my own hands. I wiped the blood on my lips. My eyes were a little blurry due to the mud and the torrential rain. I tried to guess what had happened.

I watched Bastian stand up. The darkness of the weather and the rush of rain made it faintly visible from a distance. But I could see smoke rising from his right hand. Not to be mistaken, it's a boxing glove Ador gave him.

“Bastian! Stop!” Arina tried to stop him.

Bastian laughed bitterly and brushed off Arina very hard. His body bounced and sprawled on the ground. Then don't move. The other children rushed up to Arina and took her to safety.

I spit. Removing the rest of the blood in my mouth. It's a very unexpected situation. I didn't expect Bastian to be carrying the gloves from now on. Bastian's coming towards me. He showed his right hand wrapped in a golden iron glove.

“You see that? This is so awesome! This is the best gift I've ever received! Why did Mr Ador never give me anything like this, anyway?” Bastian was screaming like a madman. There was no longer a look of his face that was always calm and calm. He has shown his true nature.

I stood up and wiped away the mud that filled my clothes. Keep trying to calm even though I am faced with this unexpected situation.

“Hei! I don't think that's the best gift for you. Using that thing will only make you weaker. Because that punch wasn't from your original strength. Except it comes from the glove.”

Bastian smiled bitterly. “We see if you can still say your arrogant sentences.”

Now it's my turn to move forward. I did a sickle kick right into his head. Bastian dodged and twisted his body. Caught my feet with his right hand. Then with his feet, he concentrated his energy and kicked right towards my stomach, I held him with both hands. I am still affected though. My bionic fingers are cracked. One or two even broke. I quickly used my elbow to smash his leg.

It worked! At least his bionic leg had a slight rift. We both took a few steps back. I put up the horses. We attacked each other again. I have to do something with Bastian's gloves. At least without those gloves he's just the usual Bastian.

I found a gap. If I smash his fake eye, I can most likely let him off guard and take the glove out of his hand. I'm after the face. Bastian quickly held my hand and returned to throw a kick. I used my left hand to hold the kick. Damnit damnit! The rain made my hand slip. The leg was pointing straight at my body. I fell on slippery ground. I can no longer use my hands to the fullest at the moment. Some parts were broken and destroyed. Rainwater also soaked the circuit on my bionic hand. Makes me a little bit difficult to control it.

This is more difficult than when in the middle of a simulation. At least if in the simulation the robots will give a little pause if exposed to my attack or collide with each other. But this time I fought a human who hated me so much. Where there is such a time lag. There he attacked me mercilessly, at least to the point of rendering me paralyzed.

Bastian slid a fist towards my face, I dodged to the side and tried to slide my fist towards his face. I'm pretty sure my fist will hit right in his fake eye. Unfortunately my prediction was wrong. Bastian took advantage of the opportunity to punch me in the stomach. I bounced. My face is dirty with mud slick. I haven't been able to steady my horses. Bastian didn't give me time. He slammed forward and kicked me. I held him back with both hands. PRAAK! My bionic right hand was smashed into pieces. Leave the arm to the shoulder. I grimaced in pain, my body was hit by several stones buried in the mud. I rubbed my face with my arm. My face was covered with bruises and cuts.

I quickly stood up and focused my mind right onto the leg. At least then I can make a blow and the damage to my fist will increase. This time I can only use my left hand to punch. While my right arm will I use as a shield and sharp weapon. I could scratch some parts of his body with my broken right arm. The way it worked, Bastian was a little confused about my attack. It's been really bad. We were both faced by the situation between life and death.

I took a sideways kick towards his stomach. Bastian fended off with his gloves. I quickly turned around and used my left hand to hit the part of his face. My attack this time was devastating. Bastian took a few steps back. Wiping the blood flowing on his lips. I'm sure it must have hurt a lot because I felt it earlier. We are still human, however. If the unprotected part is hit by a hard object it is very painful.

Bastian spat and wiped his bruised cheek. Go back and attack me. His movements are no longer regular. If only I could have stayed a little longer, maybe I could have won this match. I slid a punch from the bottom to his chin while using my arm as a distraction. Bastian's starting to get overwhelmed.

When the lightning struck for the umpteenth time, I quickly thrust my fist towards his right eye. Bastian's down. He was silent for a moment on the ground while looking down. I found that his false eyes had been shattered and fell down and then circled around for a moment on the ground.

“It's over.” I exhaled. Make smoke billow at the tip of the lips. I guess the rain and mud filled my face.

But Bastian didn't give up that fast. He pushed me and made me fall. I was about to dodge. But he hit me in the face with his iron gloves. I took refuge with both of my hands that were getting damaged. I don't know why this situation reminds me of the time I had a fight with my sister.

I'm desperate. I can't move my hand at all. Bastian kept punching my hand. Until the umpteenth blow, my hand was crushed unceremoniously. Bastian's right hand shot as high as possible. Orange-colored light seemed to glow from between his fingers. My eyes are round, I need to get out of this situation immediately.

Just as his hand was about to hit me, I dodged to the side. I used my feet to kick his body. Due to the loss of his false eye, Bastian cannot see well. I quickly locked his right hand with both of my legs, locked it with all my might and then I pulled the iron hand with the position of my foot clamping his hand. It worked! The iron gloves came off. I quickly kicked the iron glove away from us.

“KRETURN!” Bastian shouted furiously.

Before he managed to reach his iron hand, I first crushed it by stepping on it using my right foot. I concentrated with all my might. My bionic legs are emitting smoke. Although not in fighting mode, at least the electricity flow on my bionic legs can I manipulate as I please. I directed the electricity right at the soles of the feet. After I thought everything was gathered together, I snapped my legs with all my might and the iron hand was crushed.

“TIDAAAAAKKKK!!!”

It's tuesday. This whole thing is over. My right leg was also crushed by the pressure I put on the iron hand. I drooped on the ground facing the ceiling. Bastian approached his broken iron hand. Sobbing in the shade of rain that never subsides.

My head hurts and my mouth is smoking. My body is starting to feel cold. Even though I have never felt cold for a long time because my bionic body is flowing warm to my original body. I glanced, looking at the crying Bastian and hugging his broken arm. Right now I can't move anywhere. My right leg, right hand, and left hand have been destroyed. I can't walk on one leg. Moreover, my head felt very sick from exerting my entire mind to strengthen my right leg when stepping on the object.

The shame, Bastian who saw me drooping began to approach me while carrying the remaining iron hand carcass towards me. I know what he's thinking right now. He's gonna kill me.

Bastian walks gontai. His left eye stared fiercely. His face that was covered in scratches and sly mud looked extremely terrifying. Plus the thunderous lightning. I can't move. After staring at Bastian who approached me while carrying the iron hand. At least he still has his real limbs. While me? What I have other than my left leg is intact. It's just that I can no longer use it because the electricity is running out.

Bastian raised the iron hand. The lightning roared again, making the iron hand gleam over the glowing lightning. Bastian quickly pointed that iron hand at my head.

“BASTIAAAAAN!!!”

With a scream from the sidelines. Bastian's hand movements stopped. Almost hit my head. I turned to see who was shouting Bastian's name. I found Ador running in a hurry while carrying an umbrella.

Bastian took off his grip on the iron hand. Seemed shocked by Ador's sudden arrival. I'm getting cold. Ador quickly overshadowed me with an umbrella. Some of the children began to dare to come closer to us. If my guess is correct, someone seems to be contacting Ador and informing him of the situation.

“Tu..Tu's.. Sir, I can explain everything,” Bastian stuttered.

Ador was silent. His eyes look empty.

“Kids, please bring Zenzen to my treatment room.” Ador said. His tone sounded very unfriendly.

Someone carried my body. It was easy for him because my body was very light. I'm trying to see what happens between Ador and Bastian. But I was very cold and my head felt very dizzy. Then it drooped unconscious.
