Chapter 6: The Abyss
This is what the other gamers went through?! This is how they die?! "What's the matter?" she said, "You seemed to be shocked. Were you not expecting to see me?"
"What the hell are you?"
"Well I'm the Virus you obviously. And it's a no brainier that only one of us can live. So do me a favor and die will you?"
She summoned a double bladed spear that's black and silver. She immediately attacked me and I had to quickly block it with my own weapon. As I pushed her back I hit my gem to be armored up. I blocked her next attack and counter it to stab her through the head. She dodged it quickly and kicked me hard in my side.
"That armor won't do good for you here." she said and she was right about that. Despite wearing the armor that kick hurt like hell! I think she broke one of my ribs but I'm now pumped full of adrenaline I can withstand it.
"Don't underestimate me!" I jump and spin kicked her in the head. She tumbled across the Abyss but not far. I launch myself at her to attack with my weapon. She blocked it and send me into the air. "Tch, bad move!" I said as I activated a ability of my weapon, "LIGHTENING BLADE!"
I throw the spear that emitted a bolt of lightening at her. She dodged but the sparks spread out and strike some part of her body that spurt out black blood. I landed safely next to my weapon and pulled it out from the ground. I came after her again as she blocked my attack. "You're not much in tragedy are you?" I said with a smug smile, "GRAVITY FORCE!"
The ability I activated is a high level technique that makes the body become uncontrollably. When it happened it sent my counterpart on her back, but she got back up with no problem. "The hell?!" I said, "Why didn't it render you helpless?!"
"You forget." she crack her neck to both sides, "You and I have the same code. Moves like that will only cancel each other out."
Well that sucks. I was able to injure her with Lightening Blade. Maybe other offensive attacks can do her more damage?
"Let me show what real power looks like." she said as she spin her weapon around, "METALLIC CYCLONE!" All of a sudden she boomerang her weapon at me causing a great silver wind attack! It's coming so fast I have no time to dodge it!
I blocked it with my own weapon but that attack made gashes all over me. It knocked me down easily as the weapon came back to her. I coughed up huge amounts of blood that I've never thought I contained this much. "You're weak!" said my counterpart, "How can you protect Doug if you can't even protect yourself?!"
Wait a minute... I've heard those lines before. From my friend.
... (Portland, 6 Year Old Elvira Raimi)
I tried to block my friend's punch but it went past and hit me in the face. We are sparing together in Tae Kwon Do class. We're paired up for today. "You're weak!" she said as she spin kicked me in the chest.
"How can you protect anyone if you can't even protect yourself?!" Why is she upset at me for? Why is she being so mean?
"I'm not weak!" I shouted and attack. She dodged my punch easily and kneed me in the stomach. The oxygen left my lungs and I drop to my knees.
"You said you want to be my equal." she said, "So why can't you keep up with me?"
"Take it easy on me! I can't-,"
"When the enemy is in front of you they will never take it easy. That's why we have to learn to protect ourselves! Now get up!"
I got up but I had to force myself. "Alright alright. Come on bring it!"
...
After class we packed up our gear. I'm sore and hurting but it's a good feeling. This time I didn't go down so easily by her. "Good job today Elvira." said my friend patting me on the back. I've gave her a black eye during the spar but she's smiling about it. "You're finally getting better."
"Thanks to you really." I said, "How come you're always so good at fighting?"
"Wellll."
"Coraline!" called out her father, Mr. Brooks, "Come on it's time to go."
"Coming dad!" before she took off she said to me, "The trick to it is to make an oath to yourself. To give yourself a reason why you must fight. See ya later, Elvira."
She finally left with her dad. An oath huh? An oath to fight?
... (The Abyss| Present)
"My oath." I said.
"What did you say?" said my counterpart.
"My oath." I jumped back up and said, "My oath is to fight side by side with Coraline. To be her equal, her partner, her protector! I FIGHT TO BE TREATED AS AN EQUAL!"
Golden light emitted from me and I spin my weapon to activate one of my strongest abilities. "RELEASE HACKER LEVEL 36! TEN SPEARS OF SPLENDOR!" I throw the spear at her and it multiplied into ten while golden light surrounds them. All ten pierced her body and light suddenly filled in the darkness of the Abyss.
The body transformed into a gray gem and it dropped to the floor. I walked over to it and picked it up. Before I could even react, the gem merge with my own and I past out.
