The desert disappeared and Apex was back in the city.
Too tired, weak and messed up to run or fly he stopped a taxi.
"Hey Apex, big fan of yours, can I get your autograph?"
The taxi driver asked with excitement.
"Yeah, sure thing."
Apex signed the man's notebook and a picture of Apex he had.
Stopping at a mobile eatery, Apex sat down and ate ramen till he was full.
"How much is my bill?"
"Don't worry, for you it's on the house."
"Arigatou"
Taking a bow before leaving.
Apex went back to the alley where his backpack was, changed back to normal clothes and went back to the precinct.
He briefed Captain Lee on everything that happened, then they called special forces to keep prep them on raid the mystic room at night.
So till then, Azath had time to rest.
Night Came
Azath woke up, ate, did some few exercises got suited up and left to meet up with the special forces.
They got to the location, the forces having transparent shields with them.
Together they all stormed into the room, turning on the lights and revealing that the room was way more bigger than the last.
"This place is bigger than the precinct."
Apex and the forces were in awe, laying their eyes on multiple glass tanks filled with creatures and filling the entire room.
["This was a terrible mistake Azath, they will all die"]
"Huh?"
Apex wondering who said that, but it clicked and he yelled.
"Everyone get out now!!"
BURST!
Every single creature in tanks woke up and burst out of the tanks they were in shattering it.
Smashing through walls, and the roof the creatures spread out.
They were mostly animal mutated beasts.
"Kill on sight!"
Apex commanded, called the precinct informing them on the incident as the creatures were spreading into the city, from crawling creatures to airborne.
"Let's put an end to this."
Apex drew out his katana and flew into the city.
Slicing, ripping apart, tearing, and killing every and any creature he came across.
The military trooped in and soldiers joined the attack shooting and killing creatures, but there were a lot of casualties and victims.
Soldiers, civilians, forces, and police getting ripped apart, eaten, bitten and crushed.
"Now who the hell is that?!"
Apex laid his eyes on a double horned humanoid creature on air having red scaled skin, red wings, and a red tail.
He held a large double edged flaming sword.
"Apex!!!"
Both finally setting eyes on each other as Apex was in shock.
"Uhm, am I supposed to know you?"
Without replying his question, the beast flew down with great speed towards Apex.
He was about to strike Apex with his sword, but Apex countered with his blade and both collided releasing a massive burst of energy.
The force pushed them away from each other.
After getting their grips, both moved towards each other and they began striking against themselves.
As they clashed, they rose up into the air.
The beast kicked Apex away as he flew and hit a building.
The beast suddenly turned up above Apex about to take him out, but Apex flew out of his way and he missed him.
The beast then flew towards Apex with great speed, but Apex spinned and the beast passed him before he slashed the beast on its back.
It crashed down to the ground with great force.
"The hell!"
Apex exclaimed as a creature hit him while he was on. He immediately sliced it into two.
Suddenly, the beast appeared above him and was aiming to split Apex into two.
But Apex moved out of his way and kicked him back.
"How dare you hit Lemurge!"
"Okay, so your name is Lemurge. Weird name but okay."
Both flew towards each other and then and as they collided, Apex sliced Lemurge's left hand off, but he grew it back.
Using his wings to hit Apex back, Lemurge gave him a powerful uppercut before slashing him from his left shoulder down and lastly using his wings again to whip Apex away.
Lemurge flew behind Apex and he pound him to the ground.
"Argh!"
As Apex crashed, he saw Lemurge coming down to crush him, so he rolled away.
And as Lemurge landed, Apex gave him a powerful uppercut as he lifted up into the air.
"Raaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!"
Using great strength, Apex punched him right in the guts as there was a massive burst of energy and Lemurge coughed out blood, flying away bursting through buildings.
Apex flew with great force and speed winding up behind Lemurge as he hit him upwards.
Flying upwards, Apex was about to take his head, but then Lemurge caught him by the head, his entire palm covering his face.
BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!!
Lemurge flew with great force and speed using Apex to smash against multiple buildings
"Diee!!"
Lemurge threw Apex up into the air.
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!"
Multiple creatures came immediately and began to slice, stab, and bite Apex making him bleed profusely.
"Bo!"
Lemurge above Apex then using his blade to smash, slash, and slice Apex with great force down to the ground.
BOOM!
"Aaahhhh!"
Apex crashes badly coughing out blood and creating a pool of blood.
He just laid still within the critters and his blood as Lemurge was above him levitating.
"Apex, I don't wish to kill you, but I have a purpose. So death is inevitable."
Lemurge striking down about to land the finishing strike.
But—
Apex using his left hand caught his blade as there was a burst of energy.
"Yes you are right about one thing…
Apex levitating as he was pushing Lemurge and his blade back before completing his words saying—
"Death is inevitable."
With great force and energy Apex punched Lemurge in the guts, crushing and pressing into him and sending him flying off smashing, and colliding into multiple masses.
ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!
"Damn you Apex!!"
"Your head shall be mine!"
Lemurge moving at great speed wind up before Apex, sword set and swinging to split Apex into two.
BURST! BOOM! BING! BANG! CRASH!
