The air was thick with tension, charged like the moments before a storm.
I stood there, facing off with the disgusting bastard in the blue suit, his red aura crackling like embers ready to ignite, mine black waves flowing around me like living darkness. The only light came from the car headlights surrounding us, casting long, shifting shadows on the ground.
We both walked toward each other, slow, deliberate. Our hands remained in our pockets, the weight of the fight pressing down on the space between us. The ground beneath us seemed to hum with anticipation, as if even the earth knew something violent disaster was about to unfold.
"You're gonna regret this, kid!!" he snarled, his teeth gritting, his body nearly trembling with restrained fury.
I didn't even blink. "Make me," I said flatly.
*BOOM.*
