Chapter 4 - Who's the strongest (II)

(Note: I made a mistake last chapter, Eren is actually supposed to be a Rank 2 meta-human and not 4....my bad)

"Now, although he is a Rank 2. He just awoken his powers a month ago. As you all saw in your files, New Haven has recieved a slight 4% decrease in crime and that us all thanks to the efforts of this young man right here." Said Thompson

Zara continued looking at Eren in awe. She couldn't hold back her curiously about his strength. It was a common trait that one gets if they unlock the beast folk gene. The person becomes attracted to strength and not just anyone. The last time someone caught her attention it was Arin and Thompson, however one was becoming more machine everyday and the other was a old man in his 50's, so she had little interest in them. But, now before her stood someone who could stomp her with ease, all these thoughts started to get her stimulated a bit. One could see her face slowly turn red.

"Hey, new guy. Fight me"

Zara said.

"That's a good idea, Zara. I was originally gonna suggest it to you guys that you test off your skills with each other. Eren, are you up for the test?" Said Thompson

"Sure. I'm dying to test out my strength."

With Eren and Zara both willing to go the stage was set. The two made way to the training room.

With both of of them ready to start battle, Eren takes a deep breath and waits for his opponent to attack. He starts of by using the Dark power he copied from Vex, however this time he uses it differently than before. He makes 3 Dark clones of himself and gives each one of them a certain power that he had copied from other people. The first one got super strength, the second got super speed and the third he gave super flight.

After seeing Erens first move, Zara was disappointed at the outcome. And started thinking to herself

(Really, that's all he can do? I thought he was supposed to be a rank 2. Making clones is the work of a rank 5. But he did use the dark attribute, so i guess that makes him a rank 4? Whatever i gotta end this. I'm bored)

Zara who changes head first into action againt the clones didn't think of what was about to happen next. The first clone hit her so hard that she went flying to the roof. The third clone caught her midway and swang her around up and proceeded to throw her down. As soon as she tries to get up, the second clone came at super speed hitting her with a multiple attacks. Although they weren't as strong as the first clones attacks, the momentum they gained from running at high speed made them connect with a little more power behind them.

Change of pov.

Thompson who is watching the fight with the other teammates in the room nearby is at awe of what he is seeing.

"Can someone explain what's happening?"

Asked Mira

"Well it's easy, really. Mr Wayne over there made 3 clones if himself. And due to his unique power I'm guessing he can divide his strength in his clones." Said Arin

"Well, anyone can see that part. I'm shocked to why each clone has different powers from each other. Is it possible that Eren has more than one meta-gene?" Asked Mira yet again

"No, I highly doubt it. However, if anyone has the answers it's Mr Wayne and Sir Thompson right here." Said Arin as he looks at Thompson.

"I'll tell you what. Instead of telling you, wouldn't it be fun to just show you?" Thompson snapped his fingers and the other three were teleported to the room as well.

"Eren. Starting now this will be a four on four fight. This should make things fair on the other Kids,no?" "Really, Thompson. How is a four on one fair? Did you forget that this guys are my clones?"

"Not at all. However, each clone has its own power, therefore it's similar to it being it's own person. Hence this is a four on four. Now show us what you can do, kid."

(Okay, think, Eren. I don't know any of their powers yet. And thanks to my clones I just learned that I can't copy a power through them. Zara still hasn't shown her true power, and the other three are still a mystery to me. But, if I'm right then they'll go for a opponet who they know they can easily beat. Okay, let's wait and see.) Eren thought to himself.

"Hey, guys. I call dibs on the one with super strength. Don't get in my way." Said Zara

"Whatever, I'll get the one with super speed than." Said Mira

"Tch, I guess I'll just have to go with flight." Said Rachel

"Alright, and what about you?" Asked Zara

"I'll just observe the real one for now."

"As long as you don't get in my way. Now than, I'll get this party going."

Zara's stance changes, she grows a tail and does on all fours as she becomes a hybrid of human and wolf.

Mira on the other hand ignites and turns into fire.

Rachel on the other hand still has her hands in her pants pocket and two giant hands made of pure energy form behind her.

"So Mira was a piromancer all along? You guys, don't let your guide down." Said Eren as he looks at the 3 opponents infro t if him.

As Eren spoke, Zara, now in her hybrid form, let out a loud growl, baring her sharp teeth. Her eyes gleamed with a fierce, yellow light, and her tail twitched back and forth, ready to strike. She began to circle around Eren, her movements fluid and predatory.

Mira, now a being of pure flame, crackled and roared, her fire dancing across the ground. She raised a hand, and a wave of flames shot towards Eren, who barely dodged out of the way in time.

Rachel, still standing nonchalantly with her hands in her pockets, smiled lazily. The two giant energy hands behind her flexed, their fingers closing into fists. "You think you can take us down, Eren?" she said, her voice dripping with amusement. "We're not just any ordinary metai. We're the ones they call when they need a job done...permanently."

Eren's eyes narrowed, his gaze darting between the three transformed women.. He could feel the air charged with their powers, and he knew he had to be careful. He cracked his knuckles, a fierce grin spreading across his face. "Bring it on," he said, his voice low and deadly. "I'm not going down without a fight."

With a swift motion he charged forward, ready to take on the three women and their incredible powers. The battle was about to begin, and only one side could emerge victorious.

The two sides collided, however Eren was on the losing side. Although his clones were good enough to fight Zara on her own it was clear that she was holding back and just letting them land their attacks just to measure up their power.

"What's the matter, Eren? Aren't you supposed to be stronger than this?" Said Zara as she had already defeated the her opponent with ease.

"Honestly, what a let down." Said Mira as she as well had already defeated the other clone

"I can't say I expected much for a new awakened meta. But, I didn't actually expect it to be this worse. Are you sure you have the right guy, Thompson?" Asked Rachel

"Eren. I advice you to fight with your true power and not this game you have going. Don't you think you already had your fun?"

"I was hoping I wouldn't result to this, but you girls are a sure hard to beat. Since you went all out, right here and now, I'll show you my true meta power. Come at me!"

Eren found himself on the defensive, struggling to keep up with the trio's relentless assault.Just when it seemed like the tide of battle was irreparably against him, Eren remembered the powers he had been holding back. With a fierce cry, he focused his mind and unleashed his nullification ability.

A blast of energy erupted from Eren's body, washing over the training room and neutralizing the girls powers. Zara's hybrid form reverted to her human state, leaving her stumbling and disoriented. Mira's flames died down, and Rachel's energy hands dissipated, leaving her looking stunned and vulnerable.

Eren didn't hesitate, seizing the opportunity to turn the tables. With a swift motion, he activated duplicate ability he copied, duplicating himself multiple times. The training room was suddenly filled with dozens of Erens, each one identical and equally deadly.

The girls stumbled backward, overwhelmed by the sheer number of Erens. Zara swung wildly, trying to strike down the duplicates, but there were too many of them. Mira tried to rekindle her flames, but Eren's nullification ability still lingered, suppressing her powers. Rachel tried to reform her energy hands, but Eren's duplicates were too fast, dodging and weaving around her attacks.

As the guides struggled to keep up with the multitude of Erens, the original Eren saw his chance. With a swift strike, he took down Zara, followed by Mira and finally Rachel. The three girls lay defeated, their powers neutralized and their bodies battered.

Eren stood victorious, his chest heaving with exhaustion. He turned his head to Arin, smiled and said, "So, you next or what, Cyborg?"

Arin's expression remained stoic, but a hint of amusement danced in his eyes. "You think you're ready for me, Eren?" he said, his voice low and even. "I'm not just any cyborg. I'm the product of the most advanced technology humanity has to offer."

With a sudden burst of speed, Arin charged at Eren, his cybernetic legs propelling him forward with incredible force. Eren, still recovering from his previous battle, stumbled backward, his eyes widening in surprise.

Arin's fists flew at Eren, each blow landing with precision and power. Eren dodged and weaved, using his agility and quick reflexes to avoid the worst of the attacks. But Arin was relentless, his cybernetic body allowing him to fight with a speed and strength that Eren couldn't match.

Eren's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with strategies. With a swift motion, Eren activated his nullification ability, creating a field around himself that disrupted Arin's cybernetic systems. Arin's eyes flickered, his movements slowing as his systems struggled to compensate.

Eren seized the opportunity, using his duplication ability to create copies of himself, but due to him hitying his limit he could ony make 10 this time around. Each clone identical and equally determined.

Arin's eyes widened, his systems struggling to keep up with the multiple targets. He swung wildly, trying to strike down the Erens, but they were too fast, too agile. They dodged and weaved around his attacks, using their numbers to overwhelm him.

As the battle raged on, Eren's duplicates began to gain the upper hand. Arin's systems were faltering, his movements slowing as the Erens pressed their attack. Eren watched, a fierce grin spreading across his face, as his duplicates delivered the final blow, striking Arin down with a flurry of precise and deadly strikes.

Eren looked at Thompsons through the glass door and smirked before saying, "Guess this means I win, huh?" Than he proceeded to faint.
