Test of Combat
"Where are we?" Dray asked looking around noticing pillars of Krazoa statues around them as it seemed like they were standing in an old arena. "Test of Combat." Spooky said floating up and sitting ontop of a statue's head looking down at Dray. "You will be facing memories of the past, let's hope you can handle this." She said to him as he blinked and appearing in his hand was a staff. "What's this?" He asked. "The species of this planet used these weapons in practice and in combat, it's a useful weapon." She said. "Are you ready to face your combat test?" She asked. "Hell no." Dray said breathing a little heavy looking around. Then he noticed Arachne Gorgon appear in front of him walking toward him with her arms out with a grin on her face. Then Shaula came from the right and Medusa the left. "Oh shit." Dray said to himself.
Arachne shot a web right at Dray contacting his face. He struggled to rip it off and once he did Shaula was right up to him with her scorpion tail hair swinging right toward his neck. He quickly launched the staff up to knock her hair away and she backed up summoning a portal that shot an odd spear at him as he again back flipped away and landing on a stone pillar. Medusa fired her vector arrows at the pillar to knock Dray off and onto the ground below. Dray now on the ground stood up noticing the two aunts and his mother ready to fight yet again. "Why are they doing this!" Dray shouted as Spooky yelled back. "They cannot hear you or you to them. They are in your mind, you must defeat them!"
Dray thought and then nodded running at them and ran toward Shaula first swinging his staff left to right against her face and then leaned back and lunged forward stabbing her through her chest out her back. Arachne shot another web at him but this time he used Shaula as a shield and ran at Arachne while holding onto Shaula's body with the staff and stabbed into Arachne with it. Then he ripped the staff out of there bodies and looked at his mother Medusa who looked straight back at him. They stared at one another until Medusa ran at him swinging her foot right into his face knocking him right into a Krazoa statue but not damaging it. He then noticed spirits floating in the sky, Krazoa spirits and it began to circle the arena waiting for the outcome.
Dray spun the staff and rat at Medusa swinging it left to right but she ducked and punched him square in the jaw knocking him back. He didn't let up and kept the close combat assault on her knocking her left to right with his staff until the staff's top opened and he found a button on it that shot an energy blast right into Medusa's face blowing her head right off and her body falling limply to the ground. The bodies of his aunts and mother then fade away as if there was no battle, to begin with. Dray breathed looking at his staff and even the blood on it disappeared. The Krazoa spirit flew up and down into Dray's body as he let out a slight sigh of pain.
"You have completed the combat trial." Spooky said and hovered around for a moment before landing down in front of Dray. "I know in your mind you blame yourself for my death. You can't keep blaming yourself for it, and even now you thought about if things was different." She said as Dray looked at her and looked away. "What is the aim here." He said to her. "The aim?" She asked curiously. "Why am I doing this." He said to her as she took a sigh. "Our mission. To change our history." She said simply as he tilted his head. "But enough of that, now is time for your next trial." She said as reality again began to shift.
