Killer Puppy
I saw Throw Wicked go down and immediately went to help him. Link may be a little weird but he sure is strong. I had my Abyssal Whip and Bandos armor. I used my whip and wrapped it around his bow, pulling it right out of his hands. I clipped the bow to my belt. Now I could attack him directly. I began my full out attack, cracking the whip continuously at Link, but he effortlessly dodged my every strike. I cracked the whip again, but this time, he deftly lifted his right foot as my whip slap-cracked the ground. With a swift stomp, he pinned my weapon to the ground. Unexpectedly, Link front-flipped over me, and grasped his bow still on my side. Before Link could put some distance between us, I crouched, spun, and swept his legs out from under him. Link was helpless now on the ground.
I cracked my whip, but Link rolled out of the way. In a split-second, he arose and fired an arrow. I dodged, cursing myself for losing the chance to subdue him. Before he got up, and notch his next arrow, I closed the ten foot gap. I swiftly struck my whip in a flurried attack. Link, with an arrogant smirk, strolled back from my onslaught: a bad mistake. Link didn't see the bright, white sphere of energy behind him. It exploded against him, and the energy released was conducted by his armor. He was screaming in agony, and I owed it all to my Rune Minotaur.
Link was still standing, but looked too beat up to fight. I seized the opportunity, and started an onslaught with my whip. Link had some fight left though, as he dodged my first blow. I continued attacking him, unfazed by his sudden energy. He wasn't as lucky this time though. Link got struck several times, but continued his futile effort to fight. My Rune Minotaur was still behind him, and went for the kill as he swept his ax down, to slice him in two. Link wasn't ready to die though, as he back-flipped over him, and drew several arrows to strike my Minotaur's back. My Rune Minotaur fell forward, seriously injured by the attack.
Link's sudden energy bothered me, but I was greatly relieved as I noticed something about Link. "You're out of arrows!" I said smugly. His quiver was empty, but with a smirk he dumped the contents of his Ava's Alerter into his quiver, replenishing it with Zamorak Arrows.
"I store arrows in here, and my attractor can get more arrows because I enchanted the magnet so it picks up my arrows by teleporting the arrows, instead of drawing them." I stood dumbfounded, but snapped out of it when he fired some more arrows at me. I maneuvered between them, wishing my Minotaur was here to help. Wait, my Minotaur!
I shouted, "Rune Bull Rush!" A small white ball of electricity materialized in front of Rune Minotaur, and shot towards Link, electrifying him. Link shook violently for five seconds before it stopped. He was paralyzed by the attack. My Minotaur started to fade away to the Spirit Realm. I silently thanked Minotaur, and went to finish off Link. Link had a trick up his sleeve though, and shouted, "Rapid Renewal!" No, I thought. I attacked him vehemently with my whip, but he was healing as fast as I attacked. Link broke free from the spell, jumped back, and fired an arrow at me, piercing my armor. If only I had the Vengeance spell still active. That attack would have hurt him too. I then remembered the hole in Link's armor made by Throw Wicked when his Vengeance was used. Link jumped through the air, and taking the opportunity, I quickly struck the whip through the hole. I slashed back and forth rapidly making it rain shard of Link's armor. Link pushed himself back from the attack, and fell to the ground. It appeared that his Rapid Renewal had worn off, as the cuts and gashes were still lingering on his body.
I renewed my attack, but Link still had some fight in him, and dodged my efforts by jumping into the air. Weakened, his legs buckled under him as he fell to the ground with his bow poised. I got ready for the final blow, but Link shouted, "Rigour!" My attack only grazed him because of his strengthened defense by Prayer. I immediately saw the difference in his archery skills too. I jumped back from Link, so I could have some breathing room, but he started firing rapidly at me, following my every move as I dodged by the skin of my teeth. After he loosed a few more rounds at me, he shouted, "Twin Shot!" I ran to the right and looked to my left, to see an arrow whir by. I turned back to him, when an arrow struck me in the thigh. A sharp, searing pain wracked me. I looked at Link closely, and saw that he had turned his bow sideways while firing, causing both arrows to go opposite directions.
Link fired another arrow at me, finding its mark in my other thigh. His accuracy was spot on. I could see from where he was now pointing that he was aiming for my heart. I couldn't run away because the arrows would rip my legs apart. Link aimed and fired with one fluid move. I saw the arrow fly towards me, and watched as it missed by a whole foot. How could that have happened? I looked at him again, and saw that "fire" in his eye showing his incredible prowess with a bow was gone. He was breathing hard too. Could it be my attacks had finally taken their toll? The Rigour prayer had raised his tolerance against the pain of my attacks. It had also improved his archery skills, so that he was firing expertly, even in a state of critical fatigue. Even a master archer in perfect health couldn't fire hundreds of arrows and hit the bull's-eye every time. He was falling into that state himself and had used the Rigour prayer to reinsure his archery skills. However, he had used too much Prayer energy in his last battle to sustain it. This fight was over. Link was too fatigued to defend himself. I pulled the arrows out of my thighs, and was about to deal the finishing blow when an urgent sound caught my attention. I picked up Throw Wicked, and ran.
