(Isabelle's POV)

I threw the knife at Tyler. He jumped out of the way of it. I smiled and snapped my finger, making me go right next to Tyler and have the knife back in my hand.

Tyler: You-

I stopped time and kicked him in the gut. I took the knife and made several copies. I threw them up into the air. They quickly stopped in place. I punched Tyler in the face and picked him up, throwing him up at the knifes. I resumed time. Tyler got knocked up by the force of my attacks earlier.

Tyler: Agh!

He quickly reacted to the knifes and disappeared. I tried to find him, but he punched me in the face, sending me back. A purple aura surrounded me, pulling me back towards Tyler. He kicked me down to the ground. He wiped his forehead and sighed.

Tyler: I don't want to fight you.

Isabelle: I really don't care. I want you to free everyone you took to your dimension.

Tyler: You know I can't do that. Growth specifically told me to bring you back alive. I don't want to disappoint him.

Isabelle: I'm not going back to that maniac.

Tyler sigh and looked away.

Tyler: If you come back willingly, then we can be a part of Growth's new world. If I had the choice, I would choose everyone being there, but that isn't the case. I want to save the only person I can... And that's you.

I slowly got up to my feet. I got the knife back and let out a little laugh. Tyler looked at me confused.

Isabelle: You have no idea what world Growth really wants to make. You won't have to worry about saving me, because I'm going to stop Growth's world from being born.

Tyler: What?! How could you possibly think you could do that?! You know as good as I do that Growth is someone even we can't beat!

I pointed at Dave.

Isabelle: You may not believe me, but the idiot on that idiot's back may have a chance.

Tyler: The red aura'd kid? I know he beat you, but you can't think he could beat Growth. You really have lost your mind.

Tyler tried to attack me. I stopped time again and went behind him. I punched Tyler's back and resumed time. Tyler got knocked forward a little, but he quickly turned around and punched my stomach. He started to appear and disappeared everywhere. I tried to stop his position in time, but I couldn't track him.

Tyler: Fine. If you don't want my help, then that will be your final choice!

I saw Tyler about to hit me. I managed to stop time before I got it. Tyler kept moving and punched my face, knocking me back. I crashed into Dave and fell down to the floor.

Isabelle: Why are people always moving when they shouldn't?

Tyler then stopped in place. I resumed time. Dave went flying backwards from the force of my impact earlier. Tyler looked at me and smiled.

Tyler: It worked!

Isabelle: What did you do?

Tyler: I predicted where you'd go when you stop time, so I put my position there ahead of time.

Crap, that's smart. That's something I'd never think would cross my mind with Tyler. I stopped time, jumping away. I was about to land, but saw Tyler about to hit me. I put myself in a previous position, but another Tyler is ready. He punched my face. I tried to slash him, but he disappeared. Time started to flow again. I got down on one knee, breathing heavily.

Tyler: My tactics are working better than I thought. Just know you did this to yourself, Isabelle.

Tyler got close to me. I smiled and rewinded time by about four seconds. I got in front of Tyler and was about to hit him.

Tyler: My tactics-

I slashed him with my knife. Tyler's cheek got cut, spilling some blood. His eyes filled with rage and everything around us started to crack. Tyler screamed, making everything change into an array of colors.

Tyler: I'd like to see you mess with time in a dimension that doesn't have time!

He punched me. I tried to attack back, but a second Tyler grabbed me from behind, keeping me in place. The Tyler in front of me started to punch me over and over again. I screamed in pain and spat out a small amount of blood.

Tyler: You don't look so confident now!

I tried to get out, but my Power isn't working. Tyler kneed my face. I felt my nose crack, making blood stream out of it. I felt some tears escape my eyes. Tyler saw it and stopped for a moment.

Tyler: Ok... After some time, do you want to rethink your decision?

Isabelle: I... I already made up my mind...

Tyler: ...That's one thing I've admired you for. Once you decided on something, you wouldn't change on it. But something is different. You aren't the exact person I knew before.

He kicked my stomach. I gasped in pain. I felt like I'm about to pass out. I'm sorry Super... (Y/N)... I couldn't keep my promise.

Isabelle: ...I'm a failure...

I whispered to myself. All the colors around me and Tyler slowly started to turn red. Tyler looked around.

Tyler: Why is this dimension changing? I didn't do that.

I felt everything start to shake around me. I saw the Tyler holding me got knocked away. The first Tyler also got knocked away. I felt someone pick me up. I looked behind me and saw (Y/N). He's in his form where his energy covered his skin completely.

Isabelle: Thank you...

He just looked at me, not saying a word. He gently put me down and took a step forward. Tyler recovered and looked at (Y/N).

Tyler: Just like during the tournament.

(Y/N): ...

Tyler: Don't get in the way. This is between me and Isabelle!

(Y/N) just stayed silent. It's eerie, the silence from him. Tyler made several copies of himself and sent they at (Y/N). (Y/N) waved his hand, sending all the Tylers back.

Tyler: What?! He didn't even need to touch them?!

I smiled to myself. Now Tyler has to go through the terror of fighting (Y/N). Several small stars appeared behind Tyler.

Tyler: Spacial Star Barrage!

The stars flew forward. (Y/N) punched and kicked the stars, destroying them easily. (Y/N) caught the last one. He crushed it in his hand and then made several red orbs of energy behind him.

Tyler: He's copying my Spacial Star Barrage?!

(Y/N) sent the red orbs forward at Tyler. Tyler jumped around to dodge them. (Y/N) appeared to the side of Tyler and kicked him into all the orbs. Tyler stood up, his clothes being torn in places and bleeding from his arm.

Tyler: How can this be? Just who are you?

(Y/N) just stood there. His energy started to all over the place while he screamed. The dimension shattered, bringing us all back into the mall.

Dave: There you all are.

Tyler: He... He destroyed my dimension!

First beating time, now he defeated space. (Y/N) never seizes to surprise me. I heard a noise that sounds like a muffled explosion. Everyone looked over and saw the air start to crack. A blue gloved hand came out of the crack. The hand made the crack bigger. Super jumped out and sighed.

Super: Didn't think that would actually work.

Tyler took a step back. He looks terrified. I saw everyone that was in the dimension earlier walking out of the hole Super made.

Tyler: Forget this! I'm outta here!

Tyler disappeared. (Y/N) went back to normal. He started to fall down, about to hit the ground. I quickly caught him. I saw Dave walk up. He's still holding that red trident.

Dave: ...He's an amazing rival. I'm glad I was given the privilege to be his superior.

I was about to laugh, but I stopped myself. Now is not the time to make fun of people.

Super: Thanks Isabelle.

I looked over at Super and nodded. I saw Super walk up to me and Dave. She grabbed our arms.

Super: Unfortunately you all used your Powers illegally. You all are under arrest.

Dave and Isabelle: WHAT?!?!

(Tyler's POV)

I'm running across the top of buildings, trying to get away as far as possible from that mall.

Tyler: That was way too close. When I get to Growth, I'll just say that Super got in the way of my mission. Yeah... He'll have to understand. He'll understand that I couldn't beat Super in a fight.

I reached to an edge of a building. I jumped into the air, getting ready to teleport away. I saw the Number Two Hero, Top, get in front of me.

Top: You were fighting Super? Clearly an idiot looking for trouble.

Before I could do anything, Top slashed her trident at me. The attack sent me down to the street below. I crashed into the street. The impact knocking me out.
