In the heart of the destroyed city, two beings clashed, their battle nothing short of cataclysmic. One figure was clad in black armor, the other in a shifting mass of gray flesh and metal. Each movement from them shattered the sound barrier, releasing shockwaves powerful enough to pulverize concrete and send air pressure bursting outward like artillery fire.
Every time they struck, cones of compressed air howled from their limbs, reducing the already-ruined buildings around them to rubble. If any ordinary humans had survived the city's fall, they would have died the instant this battle began. The pressure alone could rupture lungs, and the thunderous noise would liquefy eardrums.
The one fighting for the Kingdom of Man was the squad leader, a super-soldier enhanced beyond natural limits, the same man who had crushed the Symbiarch as if it were a child's toy. His every motion radiated lethal intent.
