One small body was lying underneath a bunch of hangers as Matcha stopped time again.

Matcha finally had a good look at the cat’s face.

It was a tiny black kitten which was as big as a human’s palm. From the looks of it, it was only 2 or 3 months old. Because of its black fur, Matcha could only differentiate its eyes from its shadow.

“Wadawadawadawadawadawada!”

During the time freeze, Matcha vented all his frustration on the kitten as he landed multiple slaps across its face. When time resumed, the little kitten was howling in pain as it fell to the ground.

“You loser! Do you still want to fight against me?” Matcha asked with his paws pressing against the kitten’s face, “Where is my phone? Return it to me!”

His rage and fury erupted as the little kitten opened its eyes.

“Meow!”

It opened its mouth and let out a loud meow. The cement floor which they stood on started to disappear. However, if you took a closer look, you would have noticed that the floor had turned into rows and rows of thin curved lines as they went straight into the kitten’s mouth.

The supercat standing right in front of Matcha had a unique and strong ability. Its mouth was like a portal to a new space-time dimension. It could absorb any matter into it.

Matcha was taken aback by its power as he witnessed the kitten absorbed the concrete floor into its mouth. Matcha immediately asked, “D*mn it, don’t tell me you can’t retrieve the things which you have eaten? What will happen to my phone?”

Matcha grabbed onto the kitten as he continued shouting, “Return me my phone!”

However, the kitten did not seem interested in communicating with Matcha. It just widened its mouth and started absorbing the surrounding matter with an even stronger force. It looked like it was capable of absorbing all non-living matter in the world.

Layers and layers of floor started disappearing. They did not disintegrate nor shatter but just went straight into the kitten’s mouth.

Stemming from its inability to absorb living matter, Matcha continued grabbing onto its body. Both cats were engaged in a fist fight as kicks followed punches. Matcha kicked the kitten’s stomach while the kitten retaliated with a punch to Matcha’s face.

Bim! Bam! Boom!

As both cats were busy with their fight, the little kitten continued to use its power as larger and heavier matter got sucked directly into its mouth.

After absorbing the flooring, pillars, cement and even the steel columns, the entire building started to shake a little. Everything began to fall to the ground, and the whole place was in complete chaos.

During their fight, both cats tumbled and rolled down the staircase.

In the midst of their fall, a pair of hands grabbed onto their necks, with one cat in each hand.

“It seems like we have a good catch today – 2 supercats,” The man said with both Matcha and the kitten in his hands and had a smile on his face. He sported a buzz cut and looked extremely muscular. He was either a bodybuilder or a wrestler.

He was grinning from ear to ear as he saw how both Matcha and the kitten were trying to escape from his clutches.

All this while, he had been observing their fight and was waiting for the right moment to strike.

He thought, “One has the power to suck everything into another dimension while the other has the power to teleport. I’m so lucky. Both have such strong power.”

Both Matcha and the kitten continued with their retaliation. The kitten opened its mouth and activated its power. The flooring underneath the man’s feet was absorbed along with the man’s clothes, phone, wallet, and all other non-living matter.

“D*mn it,” The man roared as he activated his superpower. His entire body turned reflective as he was coated with metal. His muscular body coupled with his metal exterior bore an uncanny resemblance to C3PO from Star Wars.

This is the power of the apostle – Metal Skin.

This power not only saved him from further embarrassment, but it also provided him with armor against Matcha’s retaliation.

Matcha froze time again, but it remained firmly wedged between the man’s arms. Matcha tried to attack the apostle with its claws, but it was futile.

After absorbing almost all the flooring, the kitten finally deactivated its power.

The kitten burped as it stared furiously at the metal man who was holding on to it.

The man let out a sigh of relief and said, “It finally ended? Such powers do have their limits.”

The man jumped out of the pit which they were in as he surveyed the destruction which the kitten had inflicted onto the shopping mall. He said excitedly, “What a strong power! Such a shame that it does not work against living matter. However, if it does work against living matter, doesn’t it make you invincible?”

The man turned his head and looked at Matcha, “Hmm? Why didn’t you activate your power of teleportation? Don’t tell me you cannot teleport once you’re restrained?”

The man carried both the cats in his arms as he walked towards the exit delightedly.

“Haha, one has the power to teleport while the other can suck everything into another dimension. Boss will be so happy to have these cats.”

...

Meanwhile, the trio had heard the explosions, and a felt a slight tremor on the ground as they raced towards the source of the destruction.

“What happened?” Jin Jia Jia shouted.

“Is it another earthquake” Xiao Ming replied as he remained as clueless as ever.

However, Zhao Yao already had an inkling of what happened. His hypothesis was confirmed when time froze again.

“Matcha is fighting with someone.”

“Is it the cat which we are looking for?”

Zhao Yao turned around and replied, “I’ll be going over first. Do take care of yourself and do not come too close to me.”

As he spoke, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in a far corner of the shopping mall. He disappeared from their vision as he turned the corner.

Xiao Ming exclaimed in excitement, “So fast!”

Jia Jia was awe-struck as she commented, “Damn, is that a flash jump?”

She immediately spoke to the viewers on her live streaming site, “Guys, did you see it? Master pulled off a flash jump as he covered one hundred meters in less than a second.”

However, she noticed that she had used the wrong camera to film it.

“Damn, I didn’t get it on tape? Oh my God!”

A new flood of comments appeared on her live streaming site, and most of her viewers voiced their disbelief.

Jia Jia was furious and retaliated, “If I’m lying, I’ll eat my sanitary pad.”

“D*mn it,” Jia Jia mumbled as she adjusted her camera towards the direction which Zhao Yao was running towards, “Faster, faster! I must get this on camera.”
