Nathan froze at the comment of his mother, his eyes widening, his blood chilling to the bone. His breaths came out in short gasps. "W-what?" He asked, too quietly for Ryohei to hear. Kyles appeared behind Ryohei, asking for a 1v1. Who did he think he was? Play time, was officially over.
His fear and anxiety were quickly replaced with a single emotion. Rage. Pure rage. And somebody with the power to destroy the planet in a punch going full rage mode, was not a good idea. As the adrenaline began to pump into him, Nathan tried to retain a part of himself. If he went all out, it could very well mean the extinction of all life as we know it. He'd need to hold as much back as possible.
With a roar, Nathan brought his massive arms up above his head as his muscles flexed, easily putting Marik to shame, before bringing his arms crashing down, hard. Of course, to Nathan, this wasn't a 'hard strike', it was a controlled, light one. Instantly, the ground shattered, tearing itself open, splitting the cold hard ground for several miles as earth was propelled upwards by the timid strike, skyrocketing.
Quickly, with a speed no one expected of him, Nathan leaped into the air, easily rising nearly a hundred feet into the air by a single push, as he grabbed a massive boulder that had been flung into the air, and effortlessly chucked it at Ryohei, almost as though it were a child's toy. It accelerated at the fire bender like a speeding bullet, faster than the eye could keep up with it.
But Nathan wasn't even close to being finished, however. As he crashed back to the ground, he performed a second clap, launching all of the falling boulders before him at Ryohei. If Kyles was smart, he'd move, because this fight had just become personal.
And Nathan hadn't even finished warming up.
