Iz slowly opened his eyes to find a small girl standing in front of him with a smile on her face. He started to unsheathe his sword, revealing its long black blade.
"Hello Mister! Can we play?" the girl exclaimed. Iz smiled widely and started to stand, dropping the sheathe in his hand to the ground.
"Sure. But just know I always play rough... Cervante," he said as he got into a fighting stance. The little girl started to grow taller and her facial features changed to those of a old man.
"Don't worry," Cervante said his voice changing from a small girl's into an old man's,
"I do too." Cervante and Iz seemed to disappear as they accelerated past the speed of light, leaving a loud sonic boom. The fight lasted all of three seconds. When light caught up to them, Iz was panting over Cervante, who had a sword through his shoulder pinning him to the ground. Iz had both arms completely shattered and both his ankles were sprained. Cervante was struggling to remove the sword to continue the fight since it was so deep into the ground.
"It seems you have improved since last time, but that is not nearly enough. You are still not fast enough," laughed Cervante, the sword nearly out of the ground.
"I know that," Iz replied with a hint of pain in his voice,
"But I'm still fast enough to do this." Iz left a sonic boom as he ran as fast as he could towards the school just as Cervante removed the sword from his arm.
"You just wait, abomination," said Cervante with venom in his words as he looked in the direction of Iz's escape,
"Your end will come soon and this world will be purged of this menace." Cervante picked up the sheathe to Iz's sword and disappeared with a sonic boom with Iz's sword in his possession.
