ZENITH

Observing the surface of the desert planet mars, deep cavities spread far and wide as two silhouettes dashed across the surface, violently pursued by another much larger silhouette traveling at high speeds. The smaller silhouettes being the two Martians, maneuvering and evading the larger silhouettes concussive blows, focusing on their defensive capabilities rather than retaliating against their target.

Spencer who was in his most monstrous form continued to attack the two Martians relentlessly, taking advantage of his massive size and momentum to place the two Martians at a greater disadvantage, he continually sent out massive area effect attacks to allow the two enemies fewer opportunities to evade his strikes.

The two Martians would attempt to attack him mentally repeatedly to slow him down and allow them ample opportunity to attack and potentially severely wound him, but each attempt they made to assault his mind would be fruitless as his he had already greatly enhanced it to resist the attacks, and his body had quickly adapted greatly to combat the frequent psychic anomalies.

They were growing agitated by their failure to severely wound Spencer, and they soon came to notice that any damage that they would manage to inflict upon him, would heal quickly after, leading them to be in a standstill that they felt that they would soon lose if they could not find a way to finish Spencer off.

To hold Spencer, the male Martian increased his size and clashed against Spencer, hand to hand, the two colliding created a gust that lifted the sand, and disturbed the terrain, pushing to overtake the other, the ground beneath the two began to split as they pushed the other away. Whilst this was happening, the female martian would attack Spencer from various angles, using her ability to phase as a way to disorient him and attack him in his potential blind spots, inflicting minor acc.u.mulating wounds.

Spencer aggressively kicked the male Martian in the stomach, sending it flying back with an audible shockwave, the martian bounced on the sand and caught himself after a slight tumble, then immediately charged back at Spencer.

Seeing that Spencer was paying her no mind, the female Martian grew irritated by the fact that he did not see her as a considerable enough threat to attack, placing all of his attention on killing the male Martian. In her annoyance, she used this to her advantage, attacking Spencer from all sides and using all of the methods that she could, she bombarded Spencer's body relentlessly.

switching to the male Martian, who was continuously surprised by Spencer's neverending resilience, quickly realizing, no matter how much they attacked him, he continues as if he was unaffected by their attacks that would normally kill any other creature on this planet, but Spencer had received multiples above that, and his body remained unbothered, only his emotions were reacting to their assault.

Morphing her lower body into that akin to a snake, the female Martian wrapped herself around the lower half of Spencer's body in an attempt to restrict his movement, as she did this, the male Martian punched him in the face and sent him bouncing roughly a mile in the opposite direction.

Catching himself with a flip, Spencer used his inner energy as a means to kick off the air and launch back at the male Martian, holding two condensed balls of inner energy in his hands and throwing them at the Martians, on collision, a dust cloud was formed.

Spencer emerged from the cloud and instantly dodged to his left, on his right side, the female Martian had shifted her arms into blades and began trying to impale Spencer, he quickly waved his hand in her direction and projected a wall of spines.

the female hastily phased through the ground and Spencer was then immediately hit in the face by the male Martian, which he then retaliated by infusing his fist with inner energy and punching towards it with his maximum output. Entering its phased state, the male Martian continued to move towards Spencer, but instead of Spencer's punch phasing through his c.h.e.s.t as it normally would, a deep cavity was formed on the Martian's c.h.e.s.t as it was sent flying.

Feeling his feet being held down to the ground, Spencer looked down to see a pair of hands holding him down, Raising both his hands above his head, he slammed the ground beneath him, forming yet another cavity.

Seeing that he was released, he flew up and extended both his palms.

Spencer began to wonder how he managed to punch the make Martian even though his hand was supposed to go through him, his soon landed on one potential cause.

"let's see if my theory is correct"-Spencer

forming six small balls of inner energy, he condensed them and allowed them to rotate around his wrists, flickering from the sky, Spencer appeared in front of the male Martian and threw a flurry of punches, pummeling and pushing him back.

Despite trying to phase through Spencer's punches, due to them being coated in energy, the male Martian had to endure all of Spencer's hits, Soon breaking from the pressure, the make could no longer retaliate as his body began to shrink back to the normal size.

"Wheres all that spunk you had a second ago!"-Spencer

kicking the Male martian into the ground, Spencer turned around and spat a ball of energy at apparently nothing, until the shriek of the female Martian range out as she materialized and fell to the ground.

Spencer turned back to the male Martian and went to for another barrage of punches to make sure that he would stay down this time, but this time around, less and less of them landed, until, the martian was essentially avoiding all of his punches

Evading Spencer's punches and going in for a kick to his leg to get him to lose balance, the male Martian could no longer take Spencer lightly in his new state, as he could now hit them even within their phased state. Putting all his strength into the kick to Spencer's leg, he was greatly shocked when Spencer simply ignored the kick and proceeded to punch him through the ground in one swift motion.

The female Martian who phased from beneath Spencer with her bladed arms who was about to execute an attack on his back was given no time to act, as he sensed her the moment she came from bellow ground, due to his sensory dome still being up. He wasted no time in swatting her out of the air with a high back kick infused with his inner energy, sending the female Martian tumbling, he promptly appeared at the location she was soon to reach and caught her in a hug.

Embracing the struggling Martian, Spencer looked down at her with a threateningly calm expression.

"So you like penetrating things huh? I also like penetration"-Spencer said smiling

Before the female Martian could attempt to escape or phase through his hold, Spencer hugged her tighter as his frame swelled and countless spines protruded from his body, impaling the female Martian and earning him a pained shriek from her, with the added paralysis effect infused within his spines, the female martian was now unable to move.

Dropping her hole littered and paralyzed body on the floor, Spencer bound her body with his inner energy to make sure she would not get back up for a while. Breaking off a spine from the countless on his body, Spencer infused a decent amount of inner energy into it and threw it to his left, seemingly without a target, the spine collided with something in mid-air and began to surge violently, enveloping what it had hit and created an outline.

The male Martian slowly began to materialize as the target that Spencer had hit with his spine, Paralyzing him as well before he had time to react to the attack, Spencer flickered over to the now paralyzed male Martian and picked it up by the neck, watching as it struggled in distress, its form shifting and changing, looking relatively unstable.

Waving his hand, the female Martian covered in his inner energy began to float towards his side and rested there without even a glance from Spencer. Still examining the male Martian in his hand, Spencer made him levitate as well.

Undoing his transformation, his bones shifting back and his muscles shrinking, Spencer returned to his normal state.

"I remembered something that I heard not too long ago (before I died that is), its that Martians can only use their abilities if their mind his intact and fully functioning"-Spencer

Raising his hand and waving it in front of the male Martian, Spencer continued to speak.

"Now that you both can barely think straight from the paralysis and my inner energy messing you guys up from the inside, you are no longer a threat"-Spencer

Now that he had the two dangling in front of him, Spencer placed his hand on his chin and began looking the two white Martians up and down, he analyzed the two closer up.

"Apart from the obvious skin-color difference, you guys seem to look more intimidating than your Green cousins"-Spencer

Spencer examined their appearance closely, exoskeleton-like armored skin, sharp teeth, and claws, while also sporting some red eyes. Spencer wasn't especially impressed by their outer appearance, he only cared about the unique abilities held within their species.

Holding out his hand, Spencer slowly channeled concentrated amounts of his inner energy into his palm, condensing what would have been the size of a small house, down to that of a tennis ball, causing the small ball to generate an immense amount of heat and pressure into the surroundings, he then slowly shaped the energy ball into that of a thorn.

"I also heard you guys are weak to heat-based attacks,(which doesn't make any sense, to be honest)"-Spencer

Moving the energy thorn in between his index and middle finger, Spencer extended it into a blade and swiftly severed the heads of the male and female Martians before they could have a say in his actions, causing them to liquefy and sink into his body like all the other things he's killed.

Opening his arms and embracing the assimilation, Spencer relaxed his body as the essence of the two white Martians fused with his body and became one with his mass. Spencer immediately felt an immediate increase in his strength and power, filling him with an intoxicating sensation that he hasn't enjoyed in years.

"Nothing can surpass this feeling"-Spencer

Clenching and opening his hand, Spencer was restless to make use of the new abilities he had just earned himself. Attempting to figure out how to become invisible as they did, Spencer soon succ.u.mbed to a mind-shattering pain, his body began to convulse and shake, he felt as if molten lava was being slowly poured on his brain and every nerve in his body.

He could only scream out in pain as his body began to slowly melt before his eyes, his skin began to liquefy and drip to the sand as his bones soon followed, his screams halted as his lungs and vocal cords have liquefied as well, his eyes melted out of their sockets and Spencers within just a few moments, became a mass of fluid on the arid sands of Mars.
