Pairings: (Takes a deep breath) Maxi x Ivy, Maxi x Yunsung, Maxi x Kilik,

Maxi x Yunsung x Kilik

NOTES: This is based off of Soul Calibur 2, not 1. If something in here does not go along with anything from the first one live with it. This is based off of what I got from 2. Also, I prefer to Maxi in his alternate costume (Blonde) rather than his original.

Summary:

A war is brewing over control of the Soul edge with Nightmare as the catalyst. People from far and wide are searching for it to gain the necessary power to take the world. Ivey, being severely determined to gain that power for her own twisted means, has seduced Maxi into being her knight even though she is ore than capable of protecting herself. She wants him to gain an edge in her plot against Nightmare to take the fabled sword from him. But when Maxi meets a young man from a far land, will Ivy's powers of seduction hold swat over Maxi? Little does Maxi know, that another love stirs right under his nose. How will this twisted triangle of love resolve, if resolution is fated? And the answer to the ever-important question, what will be the fate of Soul Edge?

Prologue

'How could this have happened? It wasn't supposed to end up like this.' Maxi wondered to himself. He now stood in a three-sided battle to the death with the sultry Ivy and the dark Nightmare with none of the three ready to back down. Maxi barely left where Yunsung and Kilik lay unconscious and maybe even... "Damn you both. I'll kill you!" he called out and charged at Ivy first.

Maxi leapt into the air, preparing to strike with his nunchaku, but had to defend when Ivy's blade struck out at him in the air. At this point Nightmare saw his chance. He moved for Ivy and brought the mighty Soul Edge high above his head, ready to strike. Upon recovering from Ivy's counterattack, Maxi also charged at her once again.

Ivy counteracted this pincer with ease. With one swing of her blade, every link of the Ivy Blade disengaged and bolted towards one of the two men still standing. Nightmare quickly returned his sword in front of him and deflected the small but deadly projectiles. Maxi deflected them with his nunchaku, but missed one that left a gouge in his left arm.

Maxi sank to his knee as the links of the Ivy Blade returned to their source. "You pathetic, wretched human!" Nightmare called out as he once again leapt at Ivy with his sword above him. Ivy, more than ready to counteract this, sent her blade out and pierce through the dark knight's chest and sent him off flying, the Soul Edge going in a different direction than its possessor.

Ivy looked on in fury as the Soul Edge pierced the ground right before Maxi. "This is goodbye!" Maxi warned Ivy as he took hold of the mighty sword's hilt. Immediately, surges of dark energy were sent throughout his body. 'No… This isn't what I wanted…' he thought as reality faded from him and the distant past flashed before his eyes…

Hi everyone! First I'd like to say that this is my first Soul Calibur fic and my second fic in process. Against some of my better reasoning, I have decided to take on the task of 2 fanfics at once, my other being a FFVIII. This is only my second, so please try to understand that. I'm doing my best at writing and am always willing to accept suggestions as to how to better it. So, if you have any suggestions or comments, leave a review and I'll take it into consideration. And did I mention that it's greatly appreciated? 'Cause it is! I'm always willing to give help and always willing to accept it. Thanks much!
