Two days ago...
Max and Aragon's fists collided once more, releasing another shockwave across the ruined landscape and forcing the cracks beneath their feet to spread in every direction. The ground between them collapsed, but neither man allowed the sudden drop to interrupt their exchange.
They fell together while continuing to strike, their fists repeatedly finding damaged ribs, shoulders, and faces until they crashed into the bottom of the newly formed crater.
Aragon landed first and immediately drove his heel toward Max's chest. Max crossed both arms before the kick connected, yet the force still threw him through the wall of the crater and buried him beneath several meters of shattered earth.
The smaller clock behind Aragon completed half a rotation.
