So shit went down...

We were scouting earlier when he appeared before us. My Enhanced self appeared through a gate and stood there in front of us.

“Who are you?” Scia demanded.

“He's me,” I said.

“What?” she asked.

“I forgot to mention,” I said. “There's three of me from other universes who got pulled into this one. This guy's an Enhanced, and not a normal one.”

“What are you doing here?” David asked.

“I've come for a challenge,” the other me replied.

I reached for my sword, and he lifted a hand stop me.

“I'm here to fight Kallaway,” he said.

“What?” I asked.

“You're in bad condition,” he said. “You wouldn't be much of a challenge for me. As for the girl, she may have powers, but they're not suited for a fight against someone like me. Kallaway's the only one here who I wish to fight with.”

“Fine,” David said, reaching for his sword. “I won't hold back.”

“Neither will I,” the other me said.

He removed all ten of his weapons from their various sheaths, and they all fit together, forming this giant, long handled blade, with guns at the tip of it and a trigger on the handle.

“You sure you wanna do this?” I asked David.

“I'll be fine,” he said.

The two of them charged at each other. Their weapons clashed, and David was thrown backwards by the other me's strength. You know what, I'm just gonna call him Enhanced Daniel. David charged at him again, and he parried effortlessly before kicking David away. They kept fighting, but Enhanced Daniel seemed to be to strong. He didn't even look like he was taking the fight seriously, but it was hard to tell with his mask on. After a few minutes, David backed off so he could speak.

“Tell me something,” he said. “When did Slender Man begin the Enhancement experiments?”

“For me, it was 25 years ago,” Enhanced Daniel said.

“I see,” David said. “It's only been a few for me. I guess that explains the difference in our power. In your world, Slender Man had time to work out all the kinks, and perfect the Enhancements.”

“Yes, that's true,” Enhanced Daniel said. “But then again, you're still not revealing your true power, are you?”

“Heh, you're right,” David said, chuckling. “I've been holding back. But not for much longer.”

I could feel the Brute's power fill the air. David charged at Enhanced Daniel and swung his sword upward. Enhanced Daniel blocked the attack, but the attack was so strong that he was sent flying a few blocks away. David chased after him, and I ended up losing sight of them both.

“Come on,” I said to Scia, and I took off to try and find them again.

We found them again, after a while. They were still sword fighting brutally. David had a gash on his left should, but he didn't seem to care. Enhanced Daniel seemed unharmed, except that piece of his mask had broken off, exposing his left eye and some of his cheek. David kept pushing himself for a while, before stopping to catch his breath.

“Is this the extent of the Brute's power?” Enhanced Daniel said. “I was expecting more for the you.”

“I'm not finished,” David said. “I have the power of two Fears. Not just one.”

Purple armor formed, covering David's entire body. A pair of large wings sprouted from his back, and his sword grew larger and more demonic looking. He charged at Enhanced Daniel, attacking rapidly. Enhanced Daniel blocked all of his attacks, before slashing David across the chest with such force that his armor was shattered and he was sent crashing into the ground several yards away.

“Pathetic,” Enhanced Daniel said, pointing the tip of his weapon at David, and preparing to squeeze the trigger.

Another guy suddenly just... appeared. Out of fucking no where. He just showed up right in the air above Enhanced Daniel's sword, and dropped down lightly on the blade, as if he was weightless. He then snapped kicked Enhanced Daniel in the face so hard he went flying down the street, leaving the weapon behind.

He was about my height  and was covered from head to toe with bandages. His body was filled with eldritch energy. Not at the same level as the Fears, but close.

“I- it's him!” Scia gasped.

“Who?” I asked.

“I don't know,” she said. “He attacked me a while back. He has some kind of telekinesis or something.”

The man began approaching Enhanced Daniel, who slipped into a portal, reappearing moments later behind the newcomer and grabbing his sword. He swung it with all his strength, but the bandaged man caught the blade in one hand as if it were nothing. Enhanced Daniel pulled back and swung again, but the bandaged guy kept blocking with his hands with seemingly no effort at all.

I rushed over to try and help David.

“You okay?” I asked.

“I can barely move right now,” he said. “Who the fuck is that guy?”

“No clue,” I said.

“Something's not right,” David said. His irises had vanished, and his pupils had grown larger, just like the Vision's. “I should be able to see through his bandages, but there's something about his aura that's disrupting my Vision.”

“Really?” I said. “So you can't see his face at all?”

“Nope,” David said.

Enhanced Daniel continued fighting the new guy, who kept blocking the sword and bullets easily. Enhanced Daniel then cut a huge chunk of earth from the ground and threw it at the bandaged man. I got a look at that telekinesis that Scia mentioned. He raised his hand, and I could see the eldritch energy expand from his body and wrap around the chunk of stone, stopping it in mid flight. It wasn't telekinesis. Not exactly. He was using his eldritch energy as an extension of his own body. He fired the stone back at Enhanced Daniel, who sliced it in two with his blade. The bandaged guy used his power to lift a manhole cover a few feet away and flung it like a Frisbee  Enhanced Daniel punched it in midair, causing it to collapse in on itself. The bandaged man then vanished and reappeared right in front of Enhanced Daniel, then they both vanished.

I heard a crash behind me, and turned around. Enhanced Daniel was lying in a small crater several yards away, with the bandaged guy standing over him. Enhanced Daniel's mask had fallen off, and his face was contorted in pain. His skin looked like it was burning from the inside out. I knew exactly what had happened. The bandaged man had pulled Enhanced Daniel through the Godsway.

The bandaged guys power suddenly spiked. I couldn't move. I was terrified by this guys power. He raised his left hand, stretching out all of his fingers in a spear hand position. I was paralyzed in fear. All I could do was stand there and watch as he drove his hand through Enhanced Daniel's heart. I could do nothing while I watched myself die. I... can't even begin to explain what that felt like.

He pulled his arm out of Enhanced Daniel's chest. Some of his bandages fell away as he did so, exposing his pale forearm. He turned to us, and began to slowly approach us. I couldn't move a muscle.

“That's enough, Fury,” a voice said. Martyr Beta was standing off to the side, watching us. “The target's dead. Let's get going now.”

The bandaged man vanished without saying a thing.

“Who... who was that!?” I demanded.

“The Archive's most recent experiment,” Beta said. “We call him the Fury. He's our ultimate weapon.”

A smokey door appeared out of now where. Beta opened it, and I could see what I assume was the Blind Man's domain, the Catacombs, on the other side.

“You've all just seen what he's capable of,” Beta said. “You all now know how foolish it is to oppose the Archive.”

He stepped through the doorway, which disappeared behind him.

“Shit!” I said. “That guy... I don't think we have a chance against him if he shows up again.”

“I knew he was powerful, but that was just ridiculous,” Scia said.

“Obviously,” David said. “Your copy beat me in my armored form, and the Fury just... wait, where did the body go?”

“What?” I asked, looking around.

There was no sign of Enhanced Daniel's body. Or his sword. Or the crater. There wasn't a single sign of the fight, except for David's injuries. I swear to god, things keep getting weirder and weirder.

We brought David back to the hotel, and did the best we could with his injuries. I don't think he'll be able to help us find that object now. He said he'll be able to recover quickly, but I'm not so sure.

Damn it all to hell...
