Aven stood in the center of Avenue A, snow falling around him. The cold didn't seem to bother him, despite his attire of a t-shirt and shorts. He did this as a gesture to Jack, Aven wouldn't come into this fight armed. He would use only his powers. He didn't expect Jack to agree, but he was a living weapon as it was. Aven sighed, his breath a visible mist in the cold. The beginning of the end was mere moments away, and he could sense it. So could the Pokemon, all the Pokemon were running from the Avenue. Aven took another breath, his eyes closed his Aura appearing lightly around his body. He opened his eyes, his Aura disappearing. He could sense people getting closer. It was nearly time now.

Aven's eyes began glowing a bright blue, his Aura forming waves from his body, forcing the snow away from him. The bandage wrapped around his arm from wrist to elbow bristled, the stored Aura reacting to Aven. It all stopped on a dime, he shook his head. "Whoa, that was weird..." Aven muttered, standing straight once again. Well this did change things, it changed them quite a bit. Lucario burst through the door behind Aven wearing a khaki cloak. "What was that Aven?"[/color] Aven turned to face Lucario, "It seems Aura has deemed me worthy to see the outcome of the fight. This is going to be interesting. Lucario looked at his trainer quizzically, to which Aven responded by shaking his head.

Trainer and Pokemon stood in the center of Avenue A watching and waiting for Jack, and anyone else who might show up. "Are you sure you have mastered everything you'll need to face Jack?"[/color] Aven shook his head, "I dunno, Jack has undoubtedly been training as hard as I have. Regardless I should be able to completely destroy him in fair fight." Lucario nodded, "Too bad Jack will not fight fair."[/color] Aven simply laughed and continued to watch.

Jack's Aura was much closer now, along with others. It wouldn't be much longer now, Aven turned to Lucario and nodded. "Remember if I have to use it, protect everyone for a few seconds." Lucario nodded and jumped to a nearby rooftop. Aven turned and could see Jack approaching, he could also sense others. It was time.

((Well I'm going to go ahead and continue this, cause I well want to finish it.))

Aven Begins

"Welcome Jack." Aven said, bowing his head slightly in respect. Jack merely grunted and removed his jacket, turning in a circle. He had no firearms on him at all. Just blades and nanomachines. Well this was something Aven didn't expect. Respect from Jack Edwards. "So who's going to start this?" Aven asked, his eyes narrowing. Jack remained silent, his own eyes narrowing. The wind began to blow, snow flowing between them. The two men stood their, eyes locked. Neither moving a muscle, one couldn't even tell if they were breathing.

Then Aven moved, one second he was standing twenty feet away. The next he was in front of Jack, his fist connecting with Jack's jaw, sending him flying several feet away. Jack regained his footing and slid several feet. He searched for Aven, who was standing where he had been seconds before. Aven began to move again, but too slow. Jack launched a wave of lighting at him, sending him flying several feet. Aven went through a brick wall, he jumped back to his feet and sent a Aura Sphere at Jack. Jack side stepped and sent a single small bolt of lighting at Aven, which Aven simply leaned back to avoid. Aven was gone again, this time appearing behind Jack and kicking him several feet away. Aven felt an electric shock course through his body when his foot connected.

Aven didn't like this already, time to move. His eyes closed for a second, "Release." A faint yellow aura appeared around Aven's arms and legs for a split second then were gone. His weights also dropped to the ground, Aven had undone the first level to his speed. More than just his weights, he undid the part of the magic that bound him. Not all of it.

Aven started moving again, faster this time. He left several after images, then started moving around Jack. Even at 2/3rds his full speed he was faster than most living humans. After images started appearing around the Avenue, Jack staring wide eyed. "Will you never stop running?!" Jack yelled, fury in his voice, mixed with fear. "I'm not running Jack. I'm still here. Unlike you, I'm not afraid anymore." Aven's voice boomed from every direction, and rang true. Jack was petrified of Aven's powers. He knew he couldn't keep up with his speed, but he could over power him if he could stop him. That was the trick though, wasn't it? Getting Aven to stop. Jack hadn't planned on using this quite so soon, but he had no choice.

Jack looked to the sky, there were plenty of clouds. A good sign. Electricity began circling Jack, then exploded outwards... Jack looked around but couldn't find Aven, that should have paralyzed Aven in his tracks. "What was that supposed to be Jack?" Aven said from a rooftop nearby completely unharmed. Jack's eyes widened. Aven smiled, this was where he belonged. On the battle field, this was where he shined.

Jack's Power

Jack shook his head, he couldn't believe this. Aven had out run one of his strongest abilities... This was no time to feel down, he had to do this. Jack checked his lightning gage it was refilling? Jack had been keeping a charge while he was fighting, but that wasn't it. Maybe it had to do with his attitude, or his resolve. He didn't know, nor completely care at the moment. He had to focus on the fight. Jack cleared his HUD of everything, he had to do this on pure feeling. It was the only way he would grow stronger. He could feel it, he was at full strength again. Something was different about his eye sight too, he could see everything more clearly.

Aven had been hit by that last blast. Every muscle in his body felt numb, add to that he was sure he would have difficulty moving for a while. Not just numbness, his body's reactions had been changed for the time being, he needed to learn them over again. Move his right arm, his left leg moved. Move his left leg his right leg moved. Move his head his left arm moved. Move his left arm his head moved. He must have looked a sight to Jack, moving in random ways. It didn't matter though, he had what he needed down. So this was Jacks power? Aven would have to make sure not to get hit by it again. It moved to fast even for him. He couldn't unleash his full speed yet. This wouldn't end well. Aven moved again, he was slightly slower, but still far faster than any human.

Jack watched Aven move, he could see him as he moved, and even guess where he would be. Jack sent a bolt of lighting where Aven would be next, as an experiment. He was rewarded with a grunt from Aven, and he also stopped moving. Paralyzed. Aven stumbled and stopped moving, the bolt hit him square in the back. Stopping him in his tracks. The next thing Aven knew a knife entered his back, right between the shoulder blades. It was pure luck alone that stopped the knife from hitting his heart. Aura swirled around Aven, the knife seemingly pushed itself out of his back. He spun and launched two Aura Spheres at Jack, electricity surrounded Jack and he caught both spheres and destroyed them.

"I see, so this is how it's gonna be huh Jack?" Aven disappeared again, Jack could still follow his every movement, but there was something different this time. It was almost as if Aven was setting Jack up for something, it didn't matter Jack would be able to beat this guy. He was nothing. Jack could defeat this insect, he knew he could. Maybe not through speed, but through strength and will he could. Aven began storing mana in his hands, he knew it was coming, he just didn't know when. And sure enough, seconds later Jack shot a bolt of lightning at him. Aven smiled and waved his hand in front of himself, a brick wall appeared their. The wall wasn't near strong enough for it to stand up to the lighting, but it bought Aven enough time to move away from the spot.

[glow=red,2,300]I am the bone of my sword[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]Steel is my body and fire is my blood[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]I have created over a thousand blades[/glow]

"I'll stop going easy on you now Jack." Aven stood straighter and his body began to glow, there was a sound of chains falling as the red aura around his body disappeared. Jack launched a lightning bolt at Aven, who simply disappeared again. Appearing behind Jack, "This is it Jack, my full speed."
