Chapter 10: The House Goes To.
Trunks's and Pan's swords clashed together. The clash was so forceful that electricity could be seen. Trunks and Pan pushed against each other as if trying to knock one another off a cliff. The lines of electricity grew bigger as the swords began to rub up against each other. Trunks grunted and Pan growled as the two warriors tried to win the small battle. Pan, finally, made the first move. She jumped back and the brought down her sword to slide the diaphanous white blade at his feet. Trunks jumped up as if he stood on fire to avoid the sharp blade from cutting off his feet.
When Trunks landed, Pan tried again, but this time aimed for his mid section. Trunks saw the sword coming to hit his stomach and back flipped to evade the dangerous blow. The blade almost missed him, and left its red reminder of how powerful it really is. Trunks landed on his feet and then fell to a kneeling position, one hand holding his stomach, gasping for air. He took his hand off of his built stomach and saw the crimson liquid stain his hands, the other hand grasped the sword that aided him to keep from falling. Its blue blade pointed down into the ground. He took his blood stained hand off of his stomach and place it on the sword to rise up. The gash was deep, but his smirk seemed to show something else. Pan frowned. Why was he smirking if she cut him severely? As he staggered he placed on hand on his stomach and a soft white light radiated from his hand. What the hell?
In a matter of seconds, he took his hand off the stomach as the light gradually disappeared. His cut open would reveal the wound, but the red reminder was all but a memory. Pan felt her mouth open. She stammered for words, but none were found. Trunks stood up straight and strong, his body exuding confidence.
"Very well! You have improved, but don't think it will be that easy," Trunks stated, his cold, malevolent blue eyes smirking at her.
"Oh, really? I think it will be very easy," Pan said firmly. Trunks chuckled.
"Watch!" Trunks said and held his hand out, the palm of his hand facing Pan. A small blue light formed from his hand. Then it transformed into a blue flame screaming for something to feed on. He grunted as he slightly bent his finger then extended them with force. The blue flame flew at Pan, hungry for her skin. Pan put her sword out in front of her, the blade towards Trunks. A ball of white electricity began forming at the end of the diaphanous blade. Lines of electricity began to flow from the end of the rod to the ball of electricity as if feeding it with more power. Then, the ball of electricity went hurdling towards the blue flame. The attack took only a mere three seconds.
The blue flame and the ball of electricity clashed together in a raging blow and a large explosion formed as the result. The sudden force of the explosion pushed both, Trunks and Pan, back. They stood on the balls of their feet to keep from flying away.
"I will beat you!" Pan yelled as she recovered from the sudden explosion. She pointed her sword that all desired to the sky, the blade pointing upwards, with one hand.
"Come, beast of lightning for I summon thee, Nikornia!" Pan yelled. Lightning came from the sky and struck the sword, feeding it with electricity. Suddenly, the bolt of lightning released its firm grip on the sword and was reeled back into the heavens. Pan's sword radiated a soft white light around its edges. Pan now pointed her sword to her right, her eyes filled with vengeance, and an immense circle-like mirror appeared with ancient symbols on it. The mirror, however, did not look like a human's mirror. It seemed to be made out of a dark metallic liquid that looked as if it was solid. And in this deceiving mirror, each symbol was shown in white light and was trapped in a circle that went around the inner edge of the mirror. A line continued at the base of every symbol until it touched its end, creating a circle of white light within the round mirror. A moon shaped horn was peeking out in the center of all the symbols. Pan smirked.
Suddenly, lightning jolted out of the blade of Pan's sword, leaping onto the slightly hidden horn. As the horn began to gain confidence, Trunks started to get ready. The horn poked out of the mirror and revealed a horse-like head. Then, the horse's body leaped out of the circle as if he were entering another dimension. The circle-like mirror broke as if it were made out of glass. As the particles of the mirror dropped, the solid, sharp objects began to melt into metallic liquid that looked like melted metal. The liquid was sucked away by the earth.
The horse-like creature known as Nikornia, reached the ground on his two front hooves and then on his back hooves. Lightning sparks splashed like water as Nikornia landed on the ground. Pan went to the horse and petted it softly. Lightning sparks were spraying over the ground where Nikornia stood.
Nikornia resembled a horse except his physique was slightly different. His body was light purple almost lavender and his belly was pure white. White speckles were splashed carefully on his body making him look like a creature of perfection. His unique horn that stood prominently on his forehead was sharper than a knife. It stuck out straight, suddenly curving in the shape of a crescent moon. His shining purple eyes glared at Trunks as his silky white tail thrashed. Pan caressed his long white strands of silk that hung on his neck. Though his appearance was beautiful, he was dangerous.
"Don't look so cocky, Pan," Trunks mocked. Pan frowned. She didn't like it when he used her name. "I have a trick up my own sleeve."
Pan looked at him shocked. I thought that I was the only one that knew how to summon! This is going to be an interesting battle, Pan thought.
Trunks looked at her sadistically as he prepared to summon his creature. He put his sword in its sheath. As soon as he put his killer away, he cupped his left hand, which faced his cupped right hand, and yelled, "Come forth thy water god, Leva!" A blue ball formed in between the two cupped hands. Suddenly, a beam of bright blue light came out of the ball into the dark clouds that began forming. Then, it started raining.
Nikornia began neighing frantically. Pan petted him to calm him while looking at the sky with a pondering look. What is he summoning?
The beam vanished as Trunks pulled an arm away from the blue ball and left his right arm holding it. All of a sudden, Trunks threw the ball into the center of the sky with extreme force as if the sphere of light weighed a ton. The blue ball expanded as it traveled in the air until it could fill at least two people in it, and then it halted. A human-like figure vaguely appeared in the ball of blue light. Then, feet with long sharp nails covered in blue and white scales came out of the bottom of the enormous sphere. More of the body began showing; the mid section, a tail, the hands, the crystal-like wings, and then the face. The face looked like a male human's, but instead of skin it was replaced with cobalt blue and pure white fish-scales. His dragon wings flapped as he hovered below the blue sphere or flight.
On its crystal-like wings was neon, sky blue goo. Leva, the Summon, shook his wings to get rid of the goo. The blue goo splattered around the Summon on the ground and was erased when it mixed with the water. He slowly descended down until his feet had contact with the earth, partially submerging in a puddle of water.
Leva had white scales around his almond-shaped eyes. The rest of his face was covered with cobalt blue scales. Short, spiked white hair gripped his head and piercing, icy blue eyes peered at Pan. His muscular form, a sculpture's masterpiece, was covered in the blue scales with a few white scales speckled over his body. His scaly blue hands consisted of sharp, black fingernails and his scaled feet had sharp, black toenails. His devil-like tail was cobalt blue with a white tip with the texture of snake's body. A dragon-like roar erupted from his large fanged mouth. His handsome face frowned at Pan and Nikornia.
"Now this is something to be proud of. Right, Leva?" Trunks said. Leva only nodded, his tail swaying casually behind him.
"Well, Nikornia is something to be proud of, really. Isn't that right, Nikornia?" Pan countered. Nikornia neighed loudly.
"I think it is time to battle!" Trunks yelled. Leva and Nikornia jumped in front of their summoners. The proud warriors glared at each other, both thinking of their strategy to win. Pan began to get lost in his cold eyes and then, for a moment, she saw something flash in his eyes. She frowned and scolded at herself to remain focused. She closed her eyes, hiding away the warmth that Trunks insisted from her eyes. Trunks held the glance for a moment longer and then closed his eyes.
'All right Nikornia,' said Pan inside Nikornia's head, 'this will be a challenge. I want you to do Ray Of Light last. Just attack and keep on doing black magic. We can beat this man, we have to.' Nikornia neighed and Pan opened her eyes.
'Leva, don't use Twister Of Water until you really need to. Just keep on using white magic. Don't use Holy that much. It drains a lot of your energy,' Trunks spoke with his thoughts
'Yes, my summoner,' answered Leva mentally. Then Trunks opened his eyes.
Pan pointed her sword out in front of her. Her two small hands held the blade out straight in front of her. Her legs were shoulder width and her eyes were set. Trunks held out his sword from a sideways stance. His arm held his sword in front of him. Blue electricity surrounded Pan, farming her body, and shot out of her sword onto Nikornia. The connection was established.
Trunks had his blue blade pointed towards Leva. Light blue light surrounded Trunks and a shining, sky blue beam shot out of the bringer of death onto Leva. The connection was established.
The beam shooting out of both swords stopped. Both, Trunks and Pan, had their eyes closed and were standing with their swords at their side and were surrounded by their own aura of light.
Leva's eyes glowed neon, icy blue while Nikornia's eyes shined neon purple. Both just stared at each other, the breeze caressing the Summons' hair unnatural, silky hair. The sun began to be blocked by the grey, gloomy clouds, and everything seemed to cease as if the giver of life had abandoned everything. Suddenly, Leva flew towards Nikornia, flapping his wings vehemently, while Nikornia ran on all fours towards Leva. Both clashed with such force the ground shook as if God himself pounded his fist upon the earth. Nikornia swung his head, which caused his crescent-shaped horn to slash Leva's stomach. Leva roared and slashed Nikornia's back with his sharp black fingernails. Nikornia jumped back a few yards and Leva did the same.
Nikornia's horn began to shine with electricity and then it shot out to Leva. Leva roared in pain as the electricity shocked him, slowly burning him form the inside. The gripping electricity loosened its grip and then began to fade away, leaving only a reminiscence of steam on the blue summon's body. Leva straightened his crumpled form and growled. His strong, lean hand formed a ball of water that began to float in his palm, its odd, deep blue color swirling. Suddenly, he brought back his arm and then hurled the small ball of deep blue liquid at Nikornia. Nikornia neighed painfully as the water clashed with him. The horse-like, creature's scream echoed through the forest, but all remained quiet for fear of revealing itself to help the fallen horse.
The ball of water seemed to stick on his like the goo that was stuck on Leva's wings. Electricity could be seen mingling the blue goo as it began to seep into his skin, shocking him from the inside. The animal's element was no match defensively against the other's element.
Nikornia heard Pan's voice soothe him in his head. 'Come, Nikornia. Calm down. It's ok. He is a water/ice summon, Nikornia. Think. Ultima is a well enough attack to take this beast out. Attack him with Ultima. That should do some pretty heavy damage. So get up!' Nikornia neighed loudly as it got up weakly like a fawn walking for the first time. As Nikornia staggered to his feet, Leva was getting ready to do an attack while the beast was weak. Nikornia neighed loudly and crouched down with his nose pointed down, ready to do a final blow.
Leva glared at Nikornia as it heard its master's voice, 'Remember Leva, lighting is your weakness, and he is a lightning summon. Cast Holy Trinity and finish him off!'
As the plan entered Leva's head, Nikornia had his head down with his horn pointed towards Leva. Leva raised his hand towards Nikornia, his palm and finger facing Nikornia. Nikornia's rusty gold, crescent shaped horn began to glow dark blue, while Leva's began to glow pure white. Nikornia's eyes began to radiate the bluish, ominous color. Leva's pupil disappeared and his icy blue eyes grew a shade lighter than before and covered his pupil like a diaphanous blanket. Waves of navy blue radiated off of Nikornia's body like waves of heat radiating off of a scorching hot metal object. Suddenly a small beam of dark blue light shot out of its horn heading towards Leva, screaming for blood.
As Nikornia's dark blue beam shot out of his horn, a white beam shot out of Leva's hand. Both beams clashed. The dark blue beam began consuming the white beam, thirsting for the human-like dragon's blood. Leva's white eyebrows shot up in surprise.
'Come on, Nikornia! Beat him!' Pan cheered in Nikornia's head. Nikornia put more energy into his beam as his body went even more rigid than it was. The ominous beam ate away at the seemingly angelic light, filling its enormous appetite for hunger. Then, the dark beam finally achieved its prize as Leva roared in pain.
'Now!' Pan yelled inside Nikornia's head. Nikornia neighed loudly as he charged towards Leva at an enormous speed. Suddenly, Nikornia's horn went into Leva's stomach. Leva roared even louder as the sword like horn stabbed hit abdomen. Leva grabbed the Summon's horn to stop it from going even further. Crimson liquid ran down his pale scaled hands. Slowly, Leva gained the strength to push Nikornia's deadly horn out of his stomach, the blood flowing like a river down his hands. When Nikornia was out of his stomach, Leva roared as he picked the horse-like creature by its horn and threw it in the air with almost no effort. As Nikornia glided through the air, a small blue orb of light shone from the tip of his horn. Nikornia neighed loudly as his purple eyes radiated small radiant waves, almost like smoke, of purple from his eyes. Pan's summon swung his head vehemently at Leva and the small orb of blue light flew at Leva at a rapid speed, thirsting for his blood. The sphere appeared blue in its origin, but waves of purple and dark blue light swam in the pool of blue energy. As the ball neared Leva, it began to expand double the size of the human/dragon summon. The enormous sphere began to slow down when it was two feet away from Leva's presence.
Leva began to flap his wings to escape Nikornia's attack, but as Leva turned and tried to pull away, he flapped his wings only to be in the same place. Leva struggled against a strong invisible wing, pushing him back toward the ball of light like a small nail being pulled by a magnetic force. Slowly, Leva was being pulled into the energy filled sphere. When Leva was fully engulfed into the sphere of what looks like to be water with swimming rays of energy, his body was stretched out and paralyzed. The waves of energy began to light up as they neared him, shocking him.
Meanwhile, Nikornia's horn began to shine as energy began to build up in his horn. A small ball of white light began to spit out small, thin lines of electricity into the sphere with Leva. The sphere began to grow brighter and bigger, building up to an immense attack. Suddenly, it exploded from the inside out. Blue flames jumped out from the explosion and Leva smashed into the ground, his eyes closed and body motionless.
'Good job, Nikornia,' Pan said praised inside Nikornia's head. Then, just about when Pan was going to disconnect, Leva stood up, staggering, holding his bloody stomach. His hands shined with a bright white light, and his body outlined in a line of white light. When the light faded away and he revealed his stomach, it looked like time has reversed itself. His stomach was fully healed
Nikornia neighed frantically for he barely had any energy left. Leva smirked as he brought both of his hands in front of him, preparing a deadly attack of his own. His arms were extended with his palms flat and facing the energy worn lightning summon. Suddenly, water began to seep out from the ground as if the earth were wounded by a grave cut. Nikornia neighed frantically, his hooves stomping around trying to evade the earth's deadly blood. Leva turned his palms, facing the sky, and slowly elevated his arms to the heavens. Water shot straight up toward the sky, forming a circle of a liquid prison around Nikornia. The horse neighed loudly, trying to shy away from the water. The water began to circle and swirl around Nikornia like a vulture stalking his prey. The earth began ooze out water at a rapid pace. The water surrounding Nikornia trapped the water from escaping from the prison of water. Suddenly, the horse-like creature was not striving to stay away from the water, but to breathe. His whole body was submerged in the tornado of water.
Leva smirked as a white smoke began to seep from the bottom of the swirling cylinder of water. The water smoke began to glide around the tornado of water, leaving nothing but solid ice behind it path. Nikornia could be sign struggling to get out of the watery entrapment, his hooves waving around frantically like a bug laying on its back trying to get back up again. As the white smoke past the unfortunate summon, its actions were paused and it was trapped in a solid crystal grave. Suddenly the white smoke disappeared into the sky like the Angel of Death when it had done its dirty work on Earth.
Leva brought down his left arm and left his right one hovering in the air. He brought his fingers together and snapped. The ice broke, releasing Nikornia from its grave prison. The horse fell on the ground, its eyes closed. The purple aura around him and Pan had vanished. Suddenly, as the aura of purple vanished, Pan fell to the ground, unconscious. Her energy had been lost in the fight, and was slowly seeping away.
Nikornia's body began to transform into a metallic silver color. His body began to slowly vanish and was then no more.
Trunks opened his eyes and the aura around his and Leva had also vanished. "Well done, Leva. You have become a great asset to me. You are dismissed," Trunks ordered. Leva nodded and made a ball of blue light in his palm. Hr flung it into the air before him and the ball expanded, like the sphere that released him in this dimension. Leva looked down at Trunks and Trunks nodded. Leva roared and leaped into the enormous sphere of light. It consumed Leva and the slowly grew smaller until it had disappeared.
Trunks looked at the house and smiled, "Looks like I got the house, and the debt I will soon repay with the eventual friendship." Trunks turned to look at the unconscious Pan lying on the ground. His eyes turned into a malicious purple as he began to walk over to Pan. He grabbed the sword vicariously through Pan by letting her hold it. He walked to the house with Pan and the sword in his arms…
