Fleetway Sonic

The ground trembles. The sky splits into red cracks.
Lord X advances slowly, smiling, his eyes empty.
Lord X:
—No matter how much you run… this is already over.
The protagonist clenches his fists, wounded, breathing with difficulty.
Protagonist:
—I'm not going down here.
Lord X appears in front of him in a blink and throws him against a wall of shadows. Lord X's laughter echoes… until something yellow streaks across the scene like lightning.
BOOM!
Lord X is sent flying, crashing into the ground.
Fleetway Sonic:
—Tch… get away from my fun.
Lord X stands up, furious.
Lord X:
—You… always sticking your nose where you aren't invited.
Fleetway Sonic (twisted smile):
—Don't get it twisted. I didn't come for him.
I came because I hate you.
Fleetway glances sideways at the protagonist.
Fleetway Sonic:
—If you want to live, keep up with me.
The protagonist hesitates for a second… and nods.
Protagonist:
—Let's go.
The two attack together. Synchronized blows, brutal speed. Fleetway laughs while fighting, enjoying every impact.
Fleetway Sonic:
—HAHA! Now this is fun!
Lord X tries to catch them, but this time he can't. One last combined attack envelops him in energy and darkness.
Lord X (fading away):
—This… does not… end…
His body breaks into black fragments and disappears, as if he had never been there.
Silence.
The protagonist lets his guard down, exhausted. Fleetway keeps smiling… too much.
Protagonist:
—Thanks… I guess.
Fleetway approaches slowly, staring at him intently.
Fleetway Sonic:
—Don't get confused.
Today I fought with you… tomorrow it could be against you.
He laughs, an empty, dangerous laugh.
Fleetway Sonic:
—Heroes are boring. Chaos isn't.
A yellow flash… and Fleetway disappears.
The protagonist is left alone, understanding one thing clearly:
Lord X is gone… but Fleetway Sonic is still a much worse problem.
