Resolved Soul
By: BlackShadowtheking
Prologue: Nightmare no more
On the pirate ship the "Alhein" and during a raging storm, dreadful battle was ensueing. A fight between the Dread Pirate Cervantes De Leon and The Azure knight known to all of Europe as Nightmare. As the lighting lit the night sky and the wind howls the sounds of swords clashing could be heared for miles around. Rain being to pour down from the sky and begin to hit the sea and the fighters aboured the ship. Nightmare the knight swinging his sword at the Pirate, Cervantes. Cervantes taking to the sky avoiding the knights reach. Nightmare's crimson eye glowed with anger as the pirate avoided his sword. Cervantes who dissappeared into the night sky, Nightmare begin to look around for the Pirate with crimson eyes still glowing in rage. Nightmare looking into the night sky let out a shout that could deafen any normal human "Cervantes show yourself you coward, and maybe I'll let you live after I take your Soul Edge away from you." Nightmare putting his normal human arm above his eyes so that he could see better without having the interfearence of water hitting his eyes. As if out of nowhere Cervantes's rough voice came from the darkness to answer to what Nightmare had said. "Well Nightmare you sound rather confident that you'll win our little duel don't you?" Nightmare looking frantally into the night trying to find out where that voice had come from. "Where are you Cervantes, you poor excuse for a washed up pirate!" Shouted Nightmare after hearing the man's voice. A low nerve racking chuckle could be heared in the dark. "You say that your going to defeat me but how can you defeat an enemy that you can't even see? Or as a matter of fact can't even find?" said Cervantes as he moved in the dark. Lighting clashed in the sky and created a bright flash which temporarly blinded the Azure Knight. "Gah damn this storm it seems to be working against me" thought Nightmare in his head as he sheilded his eyes. "why yes Nightmare fate has decided to work against you cause it knows the rightful owner of Soul Edge which is me, now hand yours over before I grow bored of you" Said Cervantes as he continued to move aboard the ship undetected. "What how could you have known what I was thinking!" shouted Nightmare as he looked around himself frantically. Cervantes who was moving about on the ship without Nightmare noticing was final revealed when a lighting bolt flew past the crows nest lighting up the area around it reaveling where Cervantes had hidden the crows nest itself. "Yes Nightmare I can tell what you are thinking, and now I will give you one last chance to surrender Soul Edge over to me or unless you prefer to have a watery grave instead?' said Cervantes to the Azure Knight who was now staring up at the crows nest with his crimson eyes. "No I shall never surrender to you, I won't surrender to some old washed up has been" shouted the Azure knight in response to the pirate's offer. The Pirate up in the crows nest then begin to chuckle evilly. "well I guess I should have figured a young idiot such as yourself would never accept to surrendering Soul Edge" He grabs his 2 Swords, His long sword type Soul Edge & the Pistol sword Nirvanna, and gripped them tightly. "So I suppose I must teach you a lesson then" Lighting once more then struck this time more brigther then ever even when the knight sheilded his eyes he still couldn't make out what was happening around him. Cervantes then decided to use this recent flash to his advantage, he jumped out at the crows nest, landing a few feet in front of the Knight and with amazing speed used the Pistol Sword, Nirvanna, to pirece through the knight chest armor and into the flesh of nightmare. With the sword in his flesh the knight's eyes widing with pain, his arms went limp which resulted in him dropping his version of Soul edge, a zweihandler type, onto the deck of the ship, while having his bright red blood pour unto the sword in him and staining the clothes of the pirate "Now Nightmare don't you wished you've surrendered and then you wouldn't have this sword plunged into you chest?" Cervantes then gave a wicked grin as he saw Nightmare try to say something only to have heared the sound of gurgling come from his mouth. Cervantes with nightmare still stuck on his sword carried him over to the bowl of the ship and held him out over the side. "Well this is where I must say goodbye Nightmare, I hope you have a good swim" Cervantes used his thumb cocked the the gun part of his pistol sword and Nightmare head leaned forward to see what was happening with blood still running out of his chest and now from his mouth. 'I'll see you in hell then" said cervantes. He gave Nightmare one last wicked smile and then pulled the trigger of the gun and shot a bullet deep into the knight and the force sent him flying of the sword and the ship into the cold sea below. His body then sunk below the waves and was carried away by an underwater current to somewhere unkown. Cervantes then gave out a insane wicked laugh that was followed by lighting and the sound of thunder cracking.
