No sound could be heard over the roar of the monstrous wind. It roared and raged throughout the streets of Chicago, the city trembling at the unleashed fury of its namesake. However, if one were allowed to bend the laws of reality, one could hear a sound coming from the eye of the storm. It sounded like... laughter.

For one brief second, in the dark chaos of the tornado, witnesses saw a flash of light like a violet streak of lightning hammer downwards. The bolt sizzled through the asphalt street and the dirt underneath, striking a gas line like the wrath of some angry god. The ground erupted as the gas line blew, a chain reaction that split the streets in a wave of fire. The Blur was knocked to the side by the force of the explosion, his tornado ceasing as his movement did. Shoto dropped like a stone, landing in the middle of the lake of fire that he created.

I feel my knees buckle as the tornado slowly stops. I fall flat on the pavement, skidding to a stop close to the karate guy. I'm barely awake.

"See if you still like fighting now. You son of a *****."

My eyelids feel droopy as I start to fall out of consciousness.
