ZENITH

Chapter 37 - //Struggle and Wrath//

Forced on his back and pressed against the sand, Spencer was beneath the foot of a Martian, while another was keeping an eye on him from the side. He could not move correctly in his highly disoriented state, at this moment he was somewhat helpless to any attacks that the Martians might launch upon him.

He continued to resist and attempt to remove the Martian's foot from his c.h.e.s.t, but he was severely weakened from his mind being bombarded in a way that he has never experienced, attempting to move was a struggle in itself, let alone using any of his strength to get up and fight back. Despite this, Spencer was still giving his all.

The two Martians looked at Spencer and continued to interrogate him.

"No creature native to this planet has this appearance, and you are no green Martians, What are you?"-?

With that last question, the assault on his mind was increased as he was not responding to their interrogations, the strain was growing unbearable, and he couldn't access any of his strength. Growing desperate, a sensation he hasn't associated with for decades, Spencer allowed the energy within his body to surge and he did his best to channel it into the foot of the Martian that was holding him down.

Switching to the two Martians POV. The two had never seen a creature like this on the planet, they had attempted to influence its mind once they had seen it causing a great disturbance, but they were quickly rejected by the mind of the creature, they had even tried to probe its mind to get information on what it could potentially be, but all they received was a jumble of wildly chaotic memories and POV's within this things mind, creatures of countless variety that they have never witnessed before were discovered within the boundaries of its mind.

Seeing from its memories that it harbored intelligence, they attempted to communicate with it with the language from its memories, but it refused to respond and even attempted to escape, so they quickly subdued it and held it down to question it further, but all the creature did was struggle and fight, making them wonder if it was truly intelligent.

To make it talk like it did before, they increased the strain on the creature's mind and asked again, and yet, no response. They were growing quickly annoyed by this thing, so they increased the weight on its c.h.e.s.t as well, and to their surprise, it retaliated in a way they were not expecting.

Coming back to Spencer, he was currently in the middle of his retaliation, channeling as much energy as he could manage to control in his jumbled state, he launched it forward at the male Martian in front of him, knocking it back and temporarily allowing his mind some semblance of clarity.

Kicking up from the floor and taking a crude unrefined fighting stance, Spencer immediately threw a feeble punch at the female Martian that was next to him, launching it away from him as well, he then quickly sought to ground himself and undo the distress the male martian had placed on his mind. Taking a few seconds, Spencer enhanced his mind's functionality using the energy within his body and was finally free from disorientation he was experiencing, but that was the least of his problems at the moment.

Looking around, Spencer remained vigilant as to prevent himself from being blindsided again, but despite his diligence to stay at full alert, he was suddenly thrown to the side without warning and was sent tumbling and rebounding off the sand. Digging his hand into the sand, he lessened his momentum slightly, only to be sent flying a second time from something powerful hitting his face.

Using the energy in his body, Spencer halted in the air and landed on his feet in a crouched position shortly after, looking up towards the direction he came from, he couldn't see what had hit him, until the body of the female martian began to materialize at the spot he was sent flying from, Spencer was wide-eyed, despite his prior knowledge of the Martians abilities, he was still having a hard time.

Glancing at the female martian that had kicked him, Spencer began looking for the male martian that he had pushed away from him, in the middle of his search while keeping an eye on the female, he was once again thrown to the side without warning, with much more force than before. Catching himself in an instant, Spencer grew immensely annoyed by the reality of being thrown around as if he was some sort of ragdoll, in his annoyance, he quickly realized that trying to look for them would be an issue considering they can become invisible and trick his eyes, even with his ability to see on different spectrums.

Seeing that he couldn't rely on his eyes any further, he closed them and began to place focus on his other senses, Smell, Hearing, Vestibular, Proprioception, Thermoception, Electroreception, all possible sense other than sight that he could access were enhanced to there maximum, in his mind, an invisible sensory field was created around the area with his body as the center, within this field he could sense every detail, the movement of the sand, the slight changes of temperature in the atmosphere, the electrical stimuli traveling through the air, nothing was escaping Spencer's evolved senses.

Remaining stagnant, Spencer stood still and allowed his body to decide when it was time to act.

Switching to the Martians, they didn't know what to think of this situation, from the very beginning they have been attacking this thing without holding back, and yet, all of their attacks only seemed to have annoyed it, there was only a minuscule amount of damage apparent on its body, and it was beyond their expectations, far different from their usual domination of the creature on this planet.

The female martian was especially perplexed by this creature, despite her sending him flying and kicking him in the face with her full strength, he instantly recovered and got back up as if it did not affect him in the slightest, and their assaults on his mind were proving to be less effective as they were in the beginning, it seemed to be building resistance to the attacks as they bombarded its mind.

Seeing that he was no longer moving, the two Martians attacked Spencer simultaneously, the male Martian jumped in and went in for a punch to the solar plexus while the female flew towards him and attempted a kick to the back of Spencer's head, the two were attacking while exploiting their invisibility. But they weren't expecting what was soon to happen.

Returning to Spencer, in the middle of his heightened sensory state, he knows that he couldn't locate the two Martians attacking him by using his energy to sense them, so he resorted to a new way of locating them, by trusting his instinct and his senses.

Feeling the presence of the two Martians from sensing the vibrations in the atmosphere around him and the shifts in the sand beneath his feet, he could weakly perceive their bodies as featureless silhouettes, but he didn't have time to revel in the fact that he could now see them, he had to quickly evade the incoming attacks.

Holding out his hand and receiving the punch of the male martian, Spencer used the male Martians momentum as a means to attack the female by swinging him around and slamming him into her body, knocking her out of the air and embedding them into the sand, a small crater was formed with the two at its core. Spencer didn't let them rest for even a second, he immediately flew into the air and condensed multiple spheres of purple energy around his body, each the size of a basketball.

Launching all of the Spheres of energy at the crater, an explosion of massive proportions echoed, greatly deforming the landscape and forming a mushroom cloud spanning roughly 1,828 meters in height. Opening his eyes, Spencer looked down at the crater and didn't see anything left of the two Martians, descending back to the sand, he approached the crater to see if the attack was sufficient enough to fatally harm the two Martians.

But when he arrived, nothing was there, it was as if he had been attacking the sand itself and not two enemies that were beating him senseless, he was confused, But this confusion did not last long. Spencer was once again sent flying for the third time, letting himself rocket through the air, he collided with the ground a long distance away from the crater and laid there in silence.

Spencer remained stagnant and unmoving against the sand, looking from the outside, his face appeared calm and somewhat composed, but on the inside, his mind was engulfed in an overwhelming rage that was just urging to breach the surface. Sitting up, Spencer took to his feet and dusted himself off in a nonchalant manner.

"I didn't think I would have to go this far, I was assuming that maybe, just maybe, that if I met a green martian, I could potentially convince one of them to give me some of their blood or something, but nooo, I had to meet the assholes!! of the Martian Species!!"-Spencer

As Spencer was voicing out his anger, his bodies structure slowly started to morph, his body began to expand and his muscles bulged as they increase in size and density, his skin began to shift into a more charcoal-like shade, while spines began to protrude along the center of his back, his legs became digitigrade and sharp boney protrusions ejected from his elbows, his tail grew out and ended with a tip covered in armored plating.

His size continued to increase until his body achieved a height of roughly 3 meters, lastly, his once calm expression had transformed completely into that of total anger. Looking at where he was sent fly from, Spencer saw the two white Martians standing and observing him with hostility.

"I'm going to enjoy tearing you both in HALF!!"-Spencer

Saying those words, Spencer launched himself at the two Martians, disrupting the entirety of the area behind him and leaving a deep cavity in his wake, appearing in front of the two, he c.o.c.ked his fist back, channeling his strength in the attacking arm.
