Hey all you fans out there I juxt got my ten year old computer working (OMFG ITS SO SLOW!) So start expecting some more fictions to come your way ^^. Anyways thanks to Lexirent97 for being there :) Okay enough with this Jib bah Jab bah. ON WITH THE FIC!
It was a cold morning. No cars were on the street, no life to be seen or heard. The frigid air playfully nipped at Josh Newman's ears, swiftly turning them a shade of pink. Josh shuddered as a cool breeze cut through his white t-shirt. He gripped the hilt of his sword Clarent, and the cold went away. The faintest scent of oranges filled the air, as his aura barely came into existence. He breathed in deeply and then continued walking. Josh felt bad for leaving his sister Sophie, his two friends Nicholas Flamel and Saint Germion behind with only a note in his room, but slightly above all, he felt bad for leaving his -gulp- Girlfriend Scatty behind. He stopped for a minute and then looked behind him. Something told him he was being followed, buit there was nothing there. Even with his awakened senses he could not see anything. He then continued walking towards the station. Soon he would be there to face his adversary. Within minutes of walking, he reached the station. He could barely make out two figures. One was wearing a three piece suit, his hair was pulled back in a neat ponytail, and he had a triangular beard. But his most distinguishing feature about him was he smelled of sulfur. The other person Smelled of snakes. A chill ran up his spine. He HATED snakes. However, this man was okay. "Hello Dr. John Dee and greetings to you Niccolo Machiavelli"
The two figures stepped forward into the light. Machiavelli had a broad grin on his face, while Dee looked as unemotional as ever.
"Hello Josh Newman, What a pleasant surprise. To be honest, I did not expect you to come."
Josh smirked and said, "Did you honestly expect me to leave fine gentlemen as yourselves waiting?"
The Italian man chuckled and said "I did not know you were so courteous Josh."
Then the English magician, Dee snapped "ENOUGH OF PLEASANTRIES! Josh I presume you came here to learn how to control your senses am I correct?"
Josh shook his head, which startled the English man. "No? what do you mean no?" Dee demanded
At that instant, Josh flicked Clarent out of it's scabbard and pointed the sword at Dee. "I have come here to stop you Dee. Niccolo please stand back and do not interfere. Unlike the English Magician here, you are an okay person."
Niccolo smiled at the compliment as Dee laughed like a hyina on laughing gas. "Stop me? With that pathetic excuse for a sword? You are welcome to try you worm!"
Then Dee reached into his coat and pulled out a stone sword almost identical to the one Josh held in his hand. Clarent's twin, Excalibur, glowed a pale blue aura.
"How about a friendly wager?" Offered Dee. "If you win against me with just swords and no magic, I will stop chasing you and Flamel for ten days, and I will give you this sword. But if you loose, you come with me and I get Clarent."
Josh nodded, it sounded like a good deal. With all of the training scatty gave him, He felt that there was no possible way for him to loose. Niccolo stepped in between them.
"Okay here are the rules, No magic, no cheap shots, no KILLING each other." he said glaring at Dee, "First one on his back looses. Begin!"
The Italian man backed off as Dee charged at Josh, tip pointed at him. He parried it easily, pushing Excalibur to it's right, leaving Dee open for a counter attack. He lunged his sword towards Dee, but he smoothly dodged it. Josh lost his balance, unsuspecting the sudden dodge, but his Tae Kwon do experience saved him. He slapped the ground and pushed off to do a front flip, and landed neatly on his feet, Giving him enough time to turn around and bring his sword over his head to block the downwards slash of Excalibur.
The air became rich with the smell of oranges, but also disgusting with the smell of sulfur. Josh pushed his sword forward, sending Dee backwards. At that instant, Josh leaped in for a slash, but Dee blocked and counter attacked, slashing Josh's arm. Josh leaped back to a safe distance, and examine his arm. Dee had drew blood, but that was not all he had done. Slowly his arm was starting to turn blue and encase in ice.
Dee chuckled and said "I do believe it is over now."
Josh growled and gripped his sword's hilt and snarled "It is not over until you are on your back!" The scent of oranges became overwhelming as Josh's aura became like golden beam of light. Just for the slightest moment, Dee lost sight of him, before he re appeared in front of the English magician, about to strike. Dee only had about a fourth of a second to react, Just barely dodging the full force of the slash, but getting cut none the less. Dee back flipped out of the way, and examined the damage.
"Now look what you have done you insolent brat... this was my favorite SUIT!" exclaimed a now enraged Dee, as the scent of brimstone overwhelmed the smell of oranges. Dee moved at such a quick pace, Josh could only parry a few of the attacks that he threw at him. When it was over, Josh had many cuts on his arms and legs, which were being encased in ice as well. He then noticed that there was a sword pointed at his neck. "Now it is over."
Josh hung his head in shame, as he watched the slow ice creep up his arm. He felt nothing at the parts where he was cut, only numbness. He closed his eyes about to accept defeat... then.
"Remember what I taught you Josh! Never give up!"
"Come on brother you can do it!"
"We believe in you Josh!"
"Keep it up!"
The teenage boy jerked his head up to see his friends standing there. His sister, Nicholas Saint Germion... and Scatty. They had all come to see him, to make sure he was okay. At that moment , Josh knew he could not give up. His aura now rose off of him like a mist, as he slowly stood.
Dee watched in horror as his aura grew stronger... stronger... and stronger yet, until it became more powerful than his max. Then the ice that encased the boys arms and legs suddenly exploded, offering Josh full mobility. He took it.
Josh leaped through the air, and brought the sword down on Dee screaming "Now Clarent EXPLODE!" The instant the stone sword made contact with Dee, the area around it exploded, knocking the English Magician down to his back, still smoldering, but otherwise unharmed. Josh sighed and tucked Clarent back in it's hilt. "Now it is over Dee."
Josh grabbed Excalibur and said "I expect to not see the likes of you for ten days. Like we promised."
The boy with the golden aura then returned to his friends.
"Josh that was amazing!" Sophie squealed, wrapping her brother in a hug
"Easy Soph." Josh chuckled out.
Saint Germion walked up to him smiling and said "well done kid, I knew you had it in you."
Nicholas flashed a smile and said "Told yea giving him Clarent was a good idea!"
Then something unexpected happened. Someone gripped Josh by his shoulder, spun him around and kissed him passionately.
"Don't scare me like that again okay?"
Josh smiled and said "Not making any promises Scatty..."
