Excerpt from “Defiant Hearts:”
“Ah, Master Dragon,” Aries said in a deep, throaty voice. “At long last…”
A metal fist crashed into Dragon’s chest, slamming him into the wall. Dragon scrambled to evade the follow-up strike, and Aries’ foot kicked a hole in the tunnel wall. Regaining his balance, Dragon advanced on Aries, swinging his swords high and low, and left a bloody gash across the cyborg’s forearm. Aries lifted his mechanical arm and deflected Dragon’s blows. The cyborg moved just as fast as Dragon, and he showed more intelligence than an ordinary zombie cyborg. Even with Dragon’s inhuman speed, the World Class champion kept up with him, and Aries soon began to anticipate his attacks.
A flurry of blows caught Dragon, and he was knocked about and slammed into the wall. As Aries charged toward him, Dragon crouched and pointed both swords upward, but the tips of both blades slid without effect across the surface of Aries’ armored chest. The cyborg landed a left hook that sent him sailing, and Dragon landed on his side in the dank water.
As Dragon pushed himself up, Aries laughed. “Maybe it’s a good thing we didn’t kill each other in the arena,” the cyborg said. “I’ll see you soon.” Without another word, Aries turned and raced off.
