"Well go on then, Lomadia. Make your move!" This taunt caused the flames in Lomadia to blaze. 'Fine then.' She thought to herself. She lunged towards the psychotic spaceman, slashing her sword at him. "Huh, amateur." Xephos easily blocked the attacks, countering with his own. Lomadia winced, holding her cheek gently. There was a slight cut on her cheek where the tip of Xephos' blade had just caught the skin. She glared at Xephos, watching his blood red eyes. There was no going back now. It was either kill or be killed. Lomadia attacked again, this time aiming a little differently. Xephos just laughed, until he felt the sharp blade connect with his side. His smile instantly disappeared, becoming more serious. "Interesting..." He murmured. Lomadia blinked, watching as Xephos brought out his nail gun. 'Gotta avoid that at all costs. I can't be handling a nail in me while I'm fighting.' She thought to herself. She dodged a nail that was aimed at her chest, her brain beginning to work. 'This feels...like a pattern.' Lomadia slashed the next nail away with her sword. 'Has he got a pattern? Certain moves...' She jumped back as Xephos lunged for her. 'I have to figure it out.' "What's wrong, Lomadia? You confused?" She glared at the spaceman, kicking him back. Lomadia watched him stumble, taking her chance. She ran up, kneeing him in the gut.
"Shut up!" Xephos coughed, a small speck of blood hitting the floor. For some reason...this pleased Lomadia. She slashed at his face, nicking the bridge of his nose. "I'm fine. I'm going to take you down!" She dodged to the side and around as both nails and the blade came towards her. Lomadia gasped, the blade slicing through her right leg. She held her leg gently, feeling her warm blood run onto her hand. She saw the evil look in his eyes, her anger replacing her pain; now was the time. "Right...now!" Lomadia stabbed forward, straight through his stomach. Xephos' eyes glazed over, unfocused as he watched Lomadia. Blood ran from his lips, his arms becoming limp...but not before Lomadia felt the sharp piercing of the nail through her skin. It went straight through her chest. Neither could be saved as the two collapsed into a heap on the ground. They were both slipping away. Lomadia watched the world blur, looking at her former lover. "I...love..."
"...You." Hearing the true him for the last time made Lomadia happy. Now she knew she did the right thing, resting on the motionless body as she lost consciousness. The two lay there, their souls being free to be together again.
Honeydew saw everything. He sat terrified as he watched them die. He had already watched Lalna die...and now two more friends. Honeydew clenched his hands around his head, rocking gently back and forth. He wanted it to end. He wanted it to be ok. But no. It would never be ok. He stared blankly ahead, not even moving when FINALLY Sips and Sjin decided to come out. They were just as shocked as Honeydew, but they had each other. Now who did Honeydew have? He had always liked Xephos, more than just a friend, but now he was dead. Lalna, his faithful scientist, was dead. Lomadia...he felt a hand on his shoulder but didn't react. He just kept wishing to himself:
End.
End.
End.
"Honeydew...I'm sorry." Sjin gave Honeydew a quick hug, leaving the dwarf to his mourning. He intertwined his fingers with his new lover's, who kissed his cheek gently. The two from Sipsco decided to leave Honeydew with his dead friends. Knowing Sips, he would just upset the poor dwarf more anyway. Sjin was half lost in thought, glancing back every few seconds at the dwarf. There he sat, cradling himself. "Will he be ok, Sips?" He asked quietly. Sips looked at his farmer, gently putting his arm around his shoulders.
"I don't know Sjin. I really don't know."
A/N: The ending is a little short but that's fine. So, thanks for reading. And I hope I did a good job of creating this, tatorkator ;D
