Silent Night...

Phillip paced around the plain, dark room with a chequered floor as if everything in the last week or so had never happened although he never took his eyes off of Ramona,
How is he here? Did I dream him here? She hastily asked herself, discarding that thought the next second, So... He's still alive? Ramona deduced, Phillip smirked standing in front of the throne in the room,
"Oh, I'm not alive, but I can still terrorise you." He taunted, Ramona was confused by that statement, but she didn't really have much time to think about it, Phillip lunged at her with his fists clenched, she jumped and Philip hit air. Ramona summoned the Power of Love and a another sword in her right and left hand respectively, the Power of Love's flames were a fading, not even enough to actually cover the whole blade, but the other sword was bathed in dark flames, Ramona let the flames of both swords touch each other and then slashed the air in a x shape, sending a black, flaming X flying to Phillip. Weirdly enough Phillip blocked it with a shield he conjured up out of nowhere and charged at her with a plain katana. Ramona had no time to react...
Holy Night...
Stephen Stills had the first shift of looking after Ramona, although he could barely look after himself in his current state, he had just finished yet another promotion run for Shatterband (which resulted in absolutely nothing.) and was blacking out. He sat down on the only chair in the room, opposite Ramona's bed, and placed his head against the wall, closing his eyes for a second...
"Are you awake?" a distorted voice boomed, Stephen Stills opened his eyes groggily. A dark, featureless blob appeared in front of him, he couldn't make out the figure although he could make out the clothes it was wearing, a parka with a fur fringe,
"Scott? That you?" Stephen Stills asked as he stood up, his vision returned to him and he saw NegaScott, who stood patiently in front of him with a puzzled expression,
"Are you afraid of me?" he asked jokingly, Stephen mustered what little courage he had left and shook his head stiffly, NegaScott laughed, he distorted voice fading, morphing into a voice closer to Scott's although it still boomed,
"No need to worry, I only have a beef with him" he said, Stephen Stllls sighed in relief at that,
"Wait... So why are you here then?" He asked, NegaScott motioned his head to Ramona, who was groaning and moving, although her eyes were still shut tight.
They moved toward her and NegaScott held her hand, which made Ramona and, surprisingly, NegaScott smile. Stephen Stills was confused by this, but made no attempt to ask why he smiled,
I guess even your dark side can appreciate the girl you fell in love with... he guessed,
"You are going to wake up soon and face some trials, but they aren't going to be something he can help you with." He prophesised with a straight face, looking up at Stephen Stills he nodded at him and walked away, to the door, plomp plomp. Stephen Stills looked at where he was leaving a saw a black robed figure, looking into the room...
All is wrong...
Ramona heavily panted as she sidesteped yet another sword slash, she had survived the nearly fatal blow from before by throwing the Power of Love at Phillip, damaging him, although that meant that the Power of Love was lost and for some reason she couldn't summon it again. Ramona slashed at Phillip, shin, but the blade just passed through he, as if ethereal,
Huh? That's wierd. She commented, Phillip rose up, through the sword, with no damage to him. Ramona discarded the black flamed katana, throwing it at Phillip to see if it would hit him. It harmlessly passed through him, whish. Looking around the dark and featureless place she remembered something,
I'm in my subspace, meaning that I control what happens in here, at least for the most part, so that means that... Ramona directed her gaze to Phillip, who stopped in his tracks petrified. The next second a cage appeared around him and he was completely imprisoned, hitting against the bars with a clang he forewarned,
"You can do this to me, but that won't defeat me or any of them!" he taunted...
All is right...
Scott was practice sparring against Roxie, who had brought her own personal blade to spar with, their backs turned so they could see one another. As they stepped away from each other they didn't turn to face each other, after taking to more steps they turned around and glared at each other. As the wind blew quietly, Scott drew his katana and summoned the Power of Understanding in his left and right hands respectively, Roxie unsheathed her katana, its blade glittering with a fire-like glow. Scott crossed his swords and disappeared, while Roxie tested the weight of the sword, swinging it around experimentally. Scott struck Roxie's left side as her katana was on her right, aiming to strike both her front and back. Roxie, though, dodged both with high jump and then blocked both swords on the way down, making Scott face Roxie as their swords clashed, sparks dancing off of the blades. Scott pushed both of the blades down to overpower Roxie, but the Japanese katana was holding up well,
"Well, Pilgrim. It looks like this is the end." She said in mock evilness as she kicked Scott onto the ground, leaving him disarmed. Scott got up and dusted off his clothes and moved to a table with a pizza box resting on it. As he grabbed a slice of pizza and took a seat he asked a question,
"Roxie, why is it that the league of non-evil exes is non-evil when it wants to kill Rammy?" he asked,
"It has to do with the other exes ." Roxie replied, Scott gave her a confused look, so she continued,
"Basically Doug wanted all the exes he could find to join his league, so he made it so that the name sounded like you'd be doing something good, but when you got in, you had to stay in or else Doug would kill you." Scott nodded and returned to eating the pizza crunch crunch...
I truly apolgise about the really long wait and really short chapter and hope that the rest of this story makes up for it, anyway review and give anything you can, writing or story advice even! XcortPilgrim out!
