Ethan was holding his head, when figures of different people appeared all over the dark void.
They ranged from adults to children, their voices overlapping, and they were all insulting Ethan and belittling him.
The insults included: "weak, stupid, weird, no one loves you, your family thinks you are a burden, pathetic, narcissist."
Ethan felt his anger rise, one of his borders were his insecurities, and they were all hitting the bullseye.
Ethan: "STOP!! SHUT! UP!!"
Ghost King: "And what's the fun in that?"
Ethan's eyes began tearing up, the tears flowing down, but instead of the expected reaction of giving up and giving in.
Ethan began to rage, the sadness converting into anger and frustration which then makes Ethan want to punch… hurt… push the borders that he doesn't want to cross.
So he he yelled, announcing his anger, creating a shock wave that made the figures disappear. He was now yelling, not with overwhelming emotions, but from anger and rage.
Ethan: "YOU! LITTLE! PIECE! OF! CRAP!!!"
Ethan charged at Ghost King, lifting his hand to his side as he sent a punch at Ghost King.
Ghost king was stunned as Ethan didn't give up, but doubled down instead, his speed was enough to let him hit Ghost king; before, he could activate the power that made him phase through things.
Ethan: "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!"
Ethan Landed an upper cut, sending Ghost king flying towards the air, a bunch of electric sparks zapped around Ethan, some heading upwards, others heading downwards, and some even hitting Ghost king.
Ethan took one sharp breath before jumping towards Ghost king, the sheer speed and force caused the literal void to crack under him, and air burst towards every direction.
His speed was fast enough to topple down a whale if he were to use the attack on it, and so, Ethan was flying towards ghost king, who was just able to stop himself from flying away further.
Ghost king rubbed his eyes as he felt a slight sense of nausea, but no actual vomit, just dizzy-ness and the feeling that he MIGHT vomit.
But as he looked around, searching for Ethan; he saw Ethan before being sent flying towards the edge of the void(if there ARE any edges anyway), and then the void cracked again; suddenly, the cracks started to light up.
As Ethan made a strong landing, cracking the void under him again, all the cracks got blindingly bright, like he went to the center of the sun, then… Ethan woke up.
He was on the ground in the karaoke room. He got up before looking around; everyone was still unconscious.
Ghost King: "Well, well, well, you are more resilient than anyone I've met. Some people had the same reaction as you, but… You were the only one who was able to escape, not even them."
Ghost King looked at the girls who were all unconscious, Ethan looked too, but not with amusement like Ghost King, but his face had fear and rage.
Ethan: "Shut up…"
Ghost King: "What? What did you say? I mean, if you wanna tell me something, don't whisper-"
Ethan: "SHUT UP! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A PSYCHO! YOU'RE AN IMPOSTOR! A FRAUD! A LOSER! YOU FEEL SATISFACTION FROM OTHER'S PAIN! DO YOU?!"
Ghost King: "Your point is?"
Ethan: "Oh, I'm gonna show you my point… I'm gonna show you pain… and I'm gonna rip you apart, and I'll feed you to worms! You are THAT useless, I'll turn you into worm crap!!"
Ghost King: "Ooooh. little baby thweatewned me…. boohoo, I'm so scared, what am I going to do?"
Ethan's face got darker and darker with rage. An aura appeared around him, and he walked slowly towards ghost king, ghost king on the other hand, was doing a dramatic pose.
Ethan then punched him, and started to punch him again and again, Ghost king didn't have time to react, so he had to take it all.
His punches were really fast, and he was yelling the word "die". And with one final punch that had all the force, Ghost King flew towards a wall and crashed into it.
Ghost King: "If you wanna save them, you gotta prove to me that you are strong, because you are not… show me how much they mean to you."
Ghost king got up, dusting his pants from some dirt and dust.
Ethan: "I don't know them, I don't have a bond with them, OK?"
Ethan was panting, he felt his heart almost jump out of his chest.
Ghost King: "Then why save them?"
Ethan: "Because everyone needs to live… lives are things that shouldn't be taken away, it's something you will never understand."
Ethan fixed his posture, standing straight, his back began to ache, especially the place just below his neck.
Ghost King: "Well, I don't, I hate people… I want a world where only I exist… and a few female servants, and that's it!"
Ethan: "Shut up! You will never reach that goal, not when I'm alive."
Ghost King: "Then stop me! stop yapping and let's fight, show me wh-"
Ethan: "Fine…"
Ethan then charged at Ghost King and punched him, sending him flying out of the building, and onto the street.
Ghost king caught himself by flying before he can hit the ground, he let out a sigh of exhaustion and then took a deep inhale before he flew backwards, shifting his strategy to running away.
But Ethan ran after him; jumping from wall to wall, and building to building, he was able to catch up to Ghost king and land a kick mid-air.
But Ghost King immediately regained his balance and flew upwards, and just when Ghost King thought that he was too high for Ethan to reach, lightning struck him… multiple times.
Ethan climbed and swung through the air, using the lightning bolts as handles and bars.
Ethan: "GET OVER HERE!!!"
Ghost King tried to fly away, but Ethan did one last jump and landed on a lightning blot that curved like a quadratic inequality on a graph.
So he started to use the lightning bolts as running ground and began to use his super speed to catch up to Ghost King.
When Ethan reached him, he grabbed his leg and threw him to the ground, then Ethan jumped down towards the ground.
Ghost King had a rough landing, hitting his back straight at the street, and then he drifted painfully through the street, scraping his body.
Ethan landed near Ghost King, Ethan was panting and sweating as if he ran a hundred marathons.
Ethan stared down at the battered-up Ghost king and walked slowly towards him before kicking him away. Ghost King flew towards a wall and struggled to get up, but eventually did.
Ghost King: "How… how did you resist my power? I used your past against you. How were you able to control your emotions?"
Ethan smirked at this question, as if it was a stupid one.
Ethan: "Control? ha! I never did… and also… the past is in the past… no matter what, you can't change it"
Ghost King: "And this power is too much for you to have… I should have won, not you… I should have won!! not some loser like you!!"
Ethan sent a bolt of lightning towards Ghost king, though it missed and hit the lighting pole next to it.
Ethan: "Shut it, smoke-for-brains!! You may look like me, but you aren't me! So go away and never come back!!"
Ghost King: "Hey! Watch it! I can turn you into a carpe-"
Ethan: "Oh yeah? And why did I use your face as a broom?"
Ghost King didn't say a thing and just shut up instead. Ghost King then slowly lifted his hand upwards, and smoke flew into his hands from random directions.
ghost king: "there… I let them go… all the victims are free now… better?"
Ethan: "no… remove any side effect they had…"
Ghost King: "…joy kill…"
Ghost King held his hand upwards again and and more smoke flew into his hands. Ethan watched with doubtful eyes, but he knew that he could just beat the crap out of Ghost King if he did anything else.
Ghost King: "Happy now?"
Ethan: "No, I'm gonna go, and remember, I have my eye on you, if you try to-"
ghost king: "blah blah blah, just go and meet with those… girls…"
Ethan turned , still looking at Ghost King, then after a few seconds, he zipped away and went back to the group.
