C POV

Beep. Beep. Beep. The only thing I could hear was that damn machine with it's annoying sounds. It's bad enough I'm not allowed off this uncomfortable metal table, the least they could do is turn the thing off.

X: He's stable, for now.

E: What the hell happened?

Noth: Doesn't matter, but let's try to keep him calm.

C: I can hear you! Could you at least turn off this damn electrocardiogram?!

X: We want to make sure your heart doesn't stop on us again.

C: Then why not just have Twist monitor me?!

X: We're afraid that the lightning would actually do more harm then good, and in stressful situations he has a hard time controlling the output.

C: OKAY FINE, BUT AT LEAST MAKE THIS THING SHUT UP!!

Noth walks over and unplugs the machine.

Noth: What's the last thing you remember?

C: Kicking ass, why?

X: Your heart almost exploded. It couldn't take the strain of that much power output.

C:...

Noth: Until we have your body to a position that you can safely tap into your soul, you need to limit how much power you're releasing.

Suddenly the door opens and three more people step inside the room.

Zed: I told you he isn't built for this!

Siwang: He'll make a good addition.

Zed: He'll make us a laughing stock!

Vita: ENOUGH! He's staying, and that's final. You're outvoted.

With a glare at me, Zed leaves. The duo walk up to the four of us and sit down in the empty chairs at my bedside.

Vita: We need you to tell us what happened.

Siwang: So start whenever you're ready.

Flashback over

E: So before we begin this fight why don't we go over the last match.

X: Why not. The main advantage C had over Kiru was power and possibly sanity.

E: Kiru did have access to a plethora of weapons, but the more C got pissed the less of a chance he had.

X: On top of that, once Zentai was achieved Kiru couldn't do any lasting damage.

E: Yep...so FIGHTERS, ARE YOU READY?!

I nod.

Kai: I don't want to fight.

C: You aren't going to get much of a choice.

E: FIGHT!!

I rush in, but before I can do anything, Kai throws his hands up.

Kai: I forfeit!

I stop and look at the ground.

Ryuko POV

We all look on as C's eyes are covered by a shadow from his hair. The ends of it start rising as he clenches his fist.

C: You don't feel it?

Kai: Feel what?

C: The excitement. The rush. The adrenaline in your veins. The feeling of finally getting a good fight. I'm not one to really enjoy a melee, but I can't deny the fact that this right here, this is something I've been looking forward to. You see, not a lot of people know this, but I've got a little bit of a secret. The longer I can fight, the more hopeless your situation looks.
