Elise held her sword at her side waiting as both Dustin and Azala shot forward. Electricity flew from the hand of Dustin who skipped to a stop as Azala kept moving with his sword raised. With her sword out she let the electricity fly into it as her other hand fired another bullet off at Azala. The Drachen Warrior’s hand moved in a blur of movement, the ax moving which quickly blocked the blast.
The back they stood upon rumbled as three jets of light could be seen up front, color slightly leaving the humanoid Azala at that point. Below Holly, Wesley, and Sandra both were firing a barrage of beams straight into Dragon Azala’s underbelly, to which he fired a huge jet blast of darkness back. Elise glanced to humanoid Azala and vanished. At once she appeared with a spin right above Azala and swung down with light glowing around her blade, the weapon slicing through the head and striking down through the armor a good ways.
Both Azalas roared, the humanoid one melting away into liquid darkness once again. Elise pulled back and flipped, facing Dustin only at this point.
“So now it’s just down to the two of us again eh?” Dustin questioned with a chuckle.
“Perhaps though unlike last time, I won’t be someone you can easily knock around. I’ll defeat you, then I will defeat Azala,” she spoke.
“Such confidence. Then let this be it young one, my power versus yours.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way you dastard.”
Darkness streamed from Dustin’s hands, a sword taking shape quickly in his right while Elise held hers to her left. Azala’s roar was heard, the gun that sent the two flying at each other. Elise jumped up and spun, swinging down. With his sword up Dustin blocked though not without a loss of ground as his feet shuffled back slightly.
“Incarcio,” Dustin commanded, flinging his left arm out with his pointer finger being the only extended finger.
A black beam flew forth though not of Dark Energy. Elise shifted left for a narrow dodge as it flew back into one of Azala’s wings. A roar was heard as cracks spanned around part of the wing, a decent chunk breaking off from that hit. Elise’s right arm flew forward and from her palm flew a flash of light.
With a chuckle Dustin’s left arm went out and with a swipe knocked it aside, “Oh come now, is that all you’ve got?”
Slowly he stepped forward towards Elise, a smirk spreading; his lips moved again right after, “Last time you caught me off guard with your brain and that Hemlock. This time what have you got? You can’t perform any spells, that I know for a fact. Your attacks are on the weak side, your weapon can’t reach me. Face it little girl, you have nothing to hit me with this time.”
“Heh, shows what you know. Then again what should I expect. You are someone who only uses others, you see value only in their abilities and not anything else. That is why you goofed last time and that is why you will lose this time.”
“You certainly like to run your mouth don’t you, pitiful insect.”
“Well let’s just say I’ve got this covered,” Elise murmured reaching into her pocket.
BANG
“Pwah,” Dustin croaked.
Quickly he stumbled back as his chest smoked, “Guh, what the fricknuts was that crap? What hit me?”
He looked ahead, eyes wide. Smoke drifted from Elise’s coat pocket, a hole now visible. From it her hand pulled out and in it was a white pistol, the top of which was round rather than square; gold rings moved around the outside and especially the barrel of the gun. On the left side was a clue section with gold liquid swishing around.
“A gift from Holly, not sure if it’s a Plasma Gun or Light Gun or whatever but it looks like it hit.”
“You wretch!”
There was a flicker of movement, Elise quickly appearing in front of Dustin, his eyes growing huge, “And now this is goodbye Dustin, hyaa!” she yelled swinging her sword forward unleashing a slash wave of Light Energy.
His eyes widened as it slammed into him and exploded, light flying everywhere with smoke. Out the side he flew yelling, a large cut running down his face, down his torso, and down ones of his legs. Off of Azala he flew, crashing beneath the clouds and disappearing with a yell, “FUUUUUUUU-” it echoed off.
“Nice shot kid, you even got him with the blade. That Hemlock will stun him long enough for the fall to kill him,” Sephiroth’s voice echoed in congratulations.
“Heh, perhaps, but I’m not out of the weeds yet,” she murmured looking ahead to see the humanoid form of Azala once more, “So is this it then? Are we finally going to settle this alone now that he’s gone? I’m honestly getting tired of constantly cutting you only to have you come back.”
“Be careful, I’m sensing a lot of power in this body and a lot of life force. I think this is an extension of his true form.”
“{Saves me a lot of trouble then. If I cut this one down, I cut the whole thing down. Somewhat not smart on his end.}”
“He probably couldn’t split the focus any longer so he detached the core body to take you on while the remote dragon form handles Holly and the rest. Be truly careful with this one.”
“Ignorant brat, this will never be over,” Azala grumbled holding out a pirate sword now.
“For one of us it will be. Come,” she murmured.536Please respect copyright.PENANApqmcQ2VPe2
