So, here we go. The second chapter of this little epic. This one was a lot easier for me to accomplish than the other. And I found it a bit more fun to write out. Maybe it was just the whole battle scene. By the way, tell me how I did on that. I do actually fight with blades, but writing is different from fighting so I want some feedback from that.
Anyways, this next song is from the Spirit Soundtrack. It's called You Can't Take Me by Bryan Adams.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Fire Emblem. Intelligent Systems does. Quit asking!
Got to fight another fight - I gotta run another night
Get it out - check it out
I'm on my way and I don't feel right
I gotta get me back - I can't be beat and that's a fact
It's OK - I'll find a way
You ain't gonna take me down no way

Ike and Mia clashed blades once more. This time, however, they were pulled into a battle of strength. And in such a battle, Ike outclassed Mia and brought her to the ground. She panted and wiped the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, rising slowly back to her feet.
"That was good, Boss!" she growled, glaring at her commander.
Ike just chuckled and offered his hand to shake.
"It was a good match, Mia" he spoke in a whisper. "In fact, I think you've gotten stronger." Ike loved saying that line to her.
Mia's face beamed, her confidence growing once more. "I can beat you this time, Boss. Just let me try." This earned another soft laugh from the blue haired man.
"We don't have time for another match. It's almost time for the final march on Ashnard. I have to prepare everyone for that." He placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled. "How about we finish this afterwards? I think everyone will have some free time afterward." Mia frowned.
"Can we have a real quick fight then, Boss?" Ike chuckled once more, massaging her shoulder.
"Alright… just be prepared. I'm going to finish this as quickly as possible."
Mia grinned and moved into a battle stance. Ike mimicked her, sword raised, muscles loose, and his face serious.

Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it
Don't push me - I'll fight it
Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no
If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride it
You can't come uninvited

Their blades met with a crash. Both warriors rebounded off of each others force, landing several feet apart. They were both breathing heavily; the fight had been going on for a good ten minutes now and a small crowd had gathered at the forest edge to watch.
Ike charged with his blade, preparing a side slash, but Mia rolled to the side. She raised her blade and at the end of her roll, pushed off the ground with her feet. This propelled her towards Ike at lightning speed; he raised his blade and parried the blow. Once again, the two sword wielders were locked in a contest of strength. People on the sidelines were cheering for their favorite. Ike began pushing Mia backwards, she wouldn't falter this time!

I gotta fight another fight
I gotta fight will all my might
I'm getting out , so check it out
Ya, you're in my way
So you better watch out

Mia took a swift step backwards, making Ike lose his balance. He fell to the ground with a thud, Mia smirked. She walked over to her commander and sat on his back. She then brought her blade to meet his neck.
"Yield… Boss" she whispered in his ear.
The entire crowd had become silent as Ike seemed to be down for the count. Ike's blade was still in his hands when he had landed on the ground. It was a risky move, but he had to take it. He grabbed Mia's sword by the hilt and somehow, he managed to remove it from his neck and point his own blade toward Mia's neck. She was off of his back and on her knees now. She dropped her sword, clattering to the ground, and raised her hands in surrender.

You can't take me I'm free!
Now I have a right to find it hilarious that as I finish typing the fight out, Eternal Bond (otherwise known as Ike's theme) begins to play. So, how was it? Did it seem to dull, to original? I need some input people. Anyways, if you're reading this A/N, then thank you for your time now please take a couple of seconds to review. I need it after this weekend.
