Chapter 69: Overdrive

Zell wasted no time and launched himself forward at his other self. The other him saw through his attack and deflected his punch. The speed and movement caused Zell to stumble and fall onto the ground.

"Good." The other Zell said. "That is the kind of initiative you should have been showing all along. Now come at me." He made a taunting motion with his hands.

Zell got back to his feet, but as he did, he attempted to do a leg sweep on his opponent. The other Zell jumped up to dodge him. Zell grunted out of frustration and launched a volley of punches. The double used both of his hands to block them in short order.

"Do you not know how to fight?" The other Zell asked. "All this power and you are fighting like a complete novice."

"You know the answer to that." Zell said. "If you are me, truly me, why do you know how to fight?"

"Officially I do not." The other Zell laughed. "However, I remember that karate class we took back in the summer of seventy-three. I remember you enjoyed it, why did you ever give it up? Oh, right because your father told you a man shouldn't waste his time on something that doesn't support a family."

"Yeah, I remember taking that class." Zell replied. "But I am hardly going to remember skills I picked up when I was sixteen in a whole different life."

The other Zell changed his appearance to a sixteen-year-old Gary. His clothes changed to that of a karate Gi. "Just think what you could have done if that father of ours had not stopped us." The other Zell said. "We could have kept fighting, who knows maybe we could have won a championship. Maybe we could have become a professional? Or perhaps we could have joined the military?"

"There is nothing wrong with the life I lived." Zell replied.

"We could have had so much more!" The other Zell yelled as he went into attacking. Using the karate they learned many years ago he led with a chop then a leg sweep. Zell countered the chop, but the sweep connected with his knee causing him to fall. "If only you would have let me out! You never would have wasted your life doing meaningless factory labor! We could have been something!"

Zell stood back up with a slight limp, his knee hurting from the last attack. "Maybe! Maybe not! We will never know! What we do know is we had a family, we had purpose, I would not change a single thing if I could. The day I held my children in my arms, they are days that are etched into my very soul. I am fine with everything as long as they had happiness while they lived."

Zell launched another series of attacks, but again the other Zell was able to counter him again. "You should just surrender." The other Zell instructed. "Let me have control of our life. You and the world will be a better place for it."

"I will not give up!" Zell shouted back. "It is my life, and I will be the one to live it! I am sick of you and everyone else telling me that I am pathetic, that everything I did was stupid and a waste! It brought me happiness and that is all a man can ask for! I will stop my sister without killing her and I will find a peaceful solution with the demon lord! When I am done with all that I am going to the realm of the gods and force them to stop interfering with the lives of mortals!"

"That's a nice speech." The other Zell said. "The only problem is you have to beat me first."

"I will do it the only way I know how." Zell said. "Activate Skill Overdrive! Set output to two hundred percent!"

Zell swelled in power as his level doubled. He launched another series of attacks before his doppelganger could react and connected immediately. The other Zell was launched from his spot and landed against the wall of the sphere giving it a crack.

The other Zell coughed blood from the massive impact. "Very good." The other Zell said. "Activate Overdrive. Output three-hundred percent."

In a flash he leapt from the wall, cracking it further. Flying fist first his blow connected directly on Zell's jaw causing him to fly back doing multiple spins until ultimately hitting the sphere's wall on the opposite side, cracking it.

"I have the same skills as you do!" The other Zell yelled. "Did you forget I am you?!"

"Power output set to one thousand percent." Zell said. Again, the burst of power flowed through him, and he launched himself back at his double. This time his punch landed with such force His arm was completely through the other Zell's chest.

"Good." The other Zell said as blood poured from his mouth. "Remember everything I taught you. You will need it for what comes next." The other Zell closed his eyes and dissipated into a cloud of fine dust.

"What did he mean? What comes next?" Zell asked himself.

The sphere containing him began to crack more. The lines from each side moved in every direction until they met in the middle. When they met the entire room shattered around him. Massive pieces of glowing white stone fell all around him and left him standing amid a large black empty void.

The light shining from the debris at his feet slowly faded as the darkness encroached in on him. The light continued to flicker and fade, getting diminished as the moments went on. Finally, all the light was extinguished, and Zell found himself sightless in the dark void.

He could see nothing, he heard nothing, he could feel nothing other than the pain in his body.

"Hello?!" He yelled out. At least he attempted to. No sound exited his mouth when he opened it. He tried again, but the same result.

[Okay think, what do I do now?] He thought to himself.
