Hunter X Hunter: Grounded

Chapter 51



Title: Caveman...





….
Uvogin is a simple man, he likes to train and punch things. He has a simple dream, he wants his Big Bang Attack to have the power of an Atomic Bomb. 

So his eagerness to fight someone like Sub wasn't small. Especially since he won't be bringing any danger to the troupe. Sub by himself can be killed… if not by Chrollo, then by two or three Phantom Troupe members working together they could easily get rid of him.


Uvogin, Chrollo, and Feitan could kill Sub easily, at least that is what Uvogin thinks. 


'But that bandage is always next to him, getting him alone is pretty much impossible.' Contemplates Uvogin, trying to think of a hypothetical situation on how to kill Sub.


He contemplates attacking him together with all of the Phantom Troupe, but that wouldn't work either as they would be the ones dying most likely, Sub has hundreds of Nen users who are willing.



Currently, Uvogin comes to a deserted place with only rocks around. Nobunaga and Machi appear next to him. 


Fwish!


Sub and Karla also appear. Sub smiles at Uvogin. "Yo there! Wanna fight?"



"Heh!" Uvogin just laughs and his Nen explodes out of his body, he immediately goes to 100%. He destroys the ground around him so Nobunaga and Machi jump back.


"Sheesh, Uvo is excited." Says Nobunaga as he rubs his chin.


Machi has a strange look in her eyes as she looks at Uvo. Nobunaga notices this and looks at her with a serious look. "Machi… if your little boyfriend gets hurt, don't do anything reckless."


"Hm?" Machi is pulled out of her thoughts at that and looks back at Nobunaga. "Don't worry, I won't try to kill Uvo."



*sigh* 'Well you can't even if you tried. But whatever.' Thinks Nobunaga, not willing to argue with Machi.



"BIG BANG ATTACK!!!" Yells out Uvogin as he concentrates all of his red Aura on his first creating a devastating punch.


Karla frowns at this and jumps back, this might be just a straight punch with Nen, but at their level, Uvogin and Sub can use high-level lethal attacks like this with no problem. If the other dies because of it… then it's too bad… they were just too weak.


Sub on the other hand charges at Uvogin and covers his body in hard Aura. Uvogin's punch creates cracks all over it, but in less than a second, the 'armor' is completely repaired.


"Huh?" Uvogin is surprised by this, Sub then turns the hard Aura around his fists into spikes.



Baam! Baam! Baam! Baam!....


Countless hits land on Uvogin's body and Sub's Nen is strong enough to easily pass through the Enhancer's defense.


'What?!!' Uvogin is surprised at this, Sub is doing something that he has never seen in his life. 

"No way a brat like you can beat me in a  straight fight!!!" Yells Uvogin, never in a fair and straight fight has he been beaten. But blood bursts out of his body.


..
Nobunaga looks at this with a shocked look in his eyes and his body shakes. "OY!!! UVO!!!! Stop daydreaming!!!"


As he says that Uvogin finally comes to his senses and he sees Sub just casually standing there, looking down at him.


"Your Nen is strong." Is all Sub says, though his face has a nonchalant look on it, making it seem like he wasn't at all sincere. Which annoys his opponent even more. 


"Don't fu*k with me you bastard!!" Uvogin yells and gets up, immediately he is fully on guard and charges at Sub who has a smirk on his face.



As Uvogin throws a punch, Sub dodges it casually by stepping to the side. He then turns the Aura in his right hand like the handle of a blade and he slashes at Uvogin's arm. Making a huge gash appear along his arm.

'Hmmm… the fool is enraged. If he looked at this a little more calmly he could have done things logically. He could do something like destroy the ground to make me stumble.' Contemplates Sub as he sees Uvogin charge at him again, his speed is incredible as an Enhancer, in a split second he punches three times, but Sub dodges them all. He doesn't see Uvogin as his opponent anymore, he hadn't even activated his ability <Heavy Load> on the man. That would make him heavier the more information Sub had on him… and Sub knows when his death will happen. 


Any condition involving death will experience a supercharge, so Uvogin won't be able to move even with his great physical strength.


But he didn't, he doesn't want to show his cards so early. If he did… he would have to kill Uvogin and Nobunaga. Machi won't talk, if she does, then he will kill her too. He thinks of her as a friend, but he is only willing to go so far for her…



Still, though, that is only a "what if" situation. He now has seen that he doesn't need to use <Heavy Load> against someone like Uvogin. The man is strong, but… that is about it. 


'I can beat him by not using any other of my Hatsu except <Cheap Dirt> turning my Aura hard and rock-like, and changing its shape. I can defeat Uvogin, my aura can pierce through tanks easily now.' Contemplates Sub, and he dodges even more of Uvogin's punches, some of the attacks hit, it is inevitable, after all, Uvogin is an experienced fighter too.


But as long as the fight isn't ended in that one attack, Sub's Aura Armour around his body regenerates the cracks easily.


…

"Tch, this bastard." Complains Uvogin, before the fight, by now he was planning to have some drinks with Nobunaga and have that pink hair banshee screech on his ear for beating her boyfriend. 


That was how it was supposed to go…


*bleugh*


Instead, Uvogin is now spitting out mouthfuls of blood as his body is covered in injuries. Both have been fighting for over an hour now, while both feel a little tired. Stamina isn't the biggest problem, the real problem is their Aura mastery and how long they can hold their fighting Aura 100% on. Now normally, most Nen users can't hold it for even an hour, but Uvogin and Sub aren't your everyday Nen users.


By now Uvogin had calmed down and now looked at Sub calmly. 'My injuries are about to enter a critical stage, while the brat is barely injured at all. Fu*k… this sucks, the Troupe Members will never let me live down getting beaten by a kid.'


Sub on the other hand has a smirk on his face that would enrage even buddha. Every now and then he would give some degrading comments to Uvogin so he would become enraged and leave more openings.


His face is smashed once more by Sub, but he still doesn't use Big Bang attack against the kid, it would be a waste of Aura at this point. 'I need to pin down this kid or else I am fu*ked, I can't one-shot him so I can't beat him. But I know that two shots and I can knock him out… just one Big Bang attack when his armor is down and this kid will be done for.'


Suddenly as they are exchanging countless punches, Sub leaves an opening and Uvogin lets his palm get stabbed by Sub's Nen and grasps his hand. 

"Got ya brat!" Yells out Uvogin as his smile turns malicious. 'I am just about done dealing with your sh*t today with you slippery brat.'


Usually, he likes fighting, but Sub was a whole other deal. He is too annoying to deal with. 


He then punches forward with his right hand while holding onto Sub's hand with his other arm. 



[BIG BANG ATTACK!!!] 


BOOOOM!!!
