Here’s the edited version:
Leah struggled to get up, using all her strength to fight against the pressure that was pressing on her, while Zack just stood there watching.
“Is this all you have to offer? The fight hasn’t even started, and you are already losing. Do you want to end up being the weakest hero of your generation?
All the other heroes have probably evolved already, yet here you are on your knees, weak, pathetic.” Zack spat out every word, staring her right in the eyes.
She refused to let what he said get to her. She slowly pushed off the ground, her legs shaking, sweat covering her body, yet she kept going.
“I don’t care about the whole hero thing, that can go to hell for all I care. But I want to be useful, capable of standing beside Silva.
I want to follow him on his adventures, standing right beside him.
So I refuse to stop here, I refuse to allow myself to lose.
Even if it means I break every bone in my body, I will do it, and I will win.” She yelled, her body erupted with lightning, and the lightning formed wings on her back.
This was the first time she activated her legacy since she met Silva, and it was magnificent. She flapped her lightning wings and shot into the air before flying towards Zack at top speed.
“Your strength is still not enough!” Zack said and swung his axe at the same time that she swung her sword. The sword and axe collided, and a small explosion happened.
Leah was thrown full force into a tree, but Zack remained standing. But she didn’t stay down long; she got back on her feet and flew towards him.
Lightning covered her sword and extended to create what looked like a whip. She spun around and lashed with the whip.
The whip crackled as it traveled towards Zack. Zack moved to the side and dodged the whip, then he charged at her full speed.
She could not react to his speed fast enough, and he rammed into her, slamming her against a tree that collapsed from the impact.
She coughed out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, barely breathing. She coughed out even more blood, then started getting up.
“You have lost. Stay down for now and rest; you don’t want to die.” Zack said.
“Oh, fuck that.” She said as she coughed up blood again. She pushed herself up; she was barely able to stand straight, but she managed to stay erect.
“You have the spirit of a warrior, a fine spirit indeed. I have to commend you, hero, you are strong, but your fight ends here today. Try again when you recover.” Zack said, as he punched her in the guts, and that was the final blow.
She fell to the ground, unconscious. Zack walked away from the place without looking back.

Fang hit the ground with his paws, and a massive bolt of lightning shot through the ground towards Mike. Mike jumped up to avoid it, but the next second, Fang released a powerful blast of lightning breath while Mike was in the air.
Mike used his sword to block the attack, but he was blasted back, breaking through several trees. He rolled across the ground for some time before finally coming to a stop.
His body riddled with cuts and burns, but he was still conscious.
“I respect your desire to show master that you have changed and grown, but you are still too weak. What can you possibly do for Silva with that strength you have? Absolutely nothing.” Fang said.
Mike got back up, wiped the blood from the side of his lips, and then chuckled.
“I might not be able to offer anything reasonable to Silva for now, but it doesn’t mean I’ll stop trying.
I will keep pushing until one day I actually do something to help him out.” Mike said as he charged at Fang again.
His movements were sloppy and all over the place, but inside his completely scattered movements, Fang could see that Mike was actively refining his fighting style.
He had started controlling his attacks and making sure that they were as effective as possible, still using only a little energy.
To someone random, Mike was just a tired person swinging his sword crazily, but Fang could see the changes. Stay tuned to empire
He stuck his feet on the ground again and called a wave of lightning. Mike shockingly didn’t jump this time like Fang thought he would.
He ran through the lightning, taking the attack head-on. Fang saw him jerk back and almost go unconscious, but then he squeezed on something he had been holding.
On closer look, it was a small shaped blade. He squeezed the blade, allowing it to cut deep into his palm, making him not lose consciousness.
Fang was beyond impressed at this point. Mike was going above and beyond in this fight right here, doing all that he could to get to Fang.
Fang saw this resolve, and he decided to fight back with more strength. No warrior wanted to be looked down upon by their enemies, and he was sure the same applied to Mike.
“You have fought very well, Mike, but sadly you will not be winning this fight.” Fang said. He opened his mouth, and lightning began forming inside.
It grew in size until it could not stay inside the mouth, so it came out of the mouth and increased in size until it was the size of a basketball.
Fang took one more look at Mike, who was running his way, and then he fired the lightning ball. The ball shone so bright that it blinded Mike.
Mike tried to block it, but when the ball hit the sword, it exploded and Mike was sent flying. He landed on the ground unconscious and covered in wounds.
Fang watched Mike for a few seconds before turning and leaving the place.
