Author's note: and time for fights. I don't think I'm the best a writing them, but hey. This is late, and may seem rushed because I lost the original chapter. I don't know what happened. Sorry. Also, don't worry; I'll get to all the foreshadowed fights in later chapters. Also, once again, 1st person mystery narrator. And fially, a duo I've wanted to do since Jack was submitted. Jack and Issack. I'll let that speak for itself for now.
Kyle was slammed into a wall, cuts sprawled all over his body. The normally tranquil, calm council building had a gaping hole in it.
"Urgh… I hope they forgive us for that. Hell, I hope Master forgives me for that." Kyle commented, getting up. He grinned. The cow spirit had given him his way of fighting. He would be grateful if it didn't hurt so much. And if his clothes weren't covered in dust. And if it didn't hurt.
"Blood armor! Blood sword!" a skin-tight armor formed around Kyle, accompanied by a sword, both blood red. The cow spirit swung, but the axe merely bounced off of the armor. Kyle smirked under the armor. Kyle took a few spies himself, but Taurus parried each one. Despite a obvious disadvantage, Taurus was smiling.
"Moo! This takes me back to my days with Miss Lucy! She took better care of me than the care I get now…" suddenly, the spirit stopped fighting, and his expression got sad, causing Kyle to stop, as well.
"Well, I feel for you, but-" the cow spirit began crying, to Kyle's shock. "I mean, she looks nice, like miss Lucy, but we get hurt badly by her if we mess up even a little..." the spirit sniveled. Kyle looked at the spirit with pity. "The big guy's been through a lot..." the Blood mage sighed. "I'll tall you what. You 'accidentally lost to me, and me and my allies 'just so happen' to get Iris' keys from her, which would free you, right?" the cow spirit, still blubbering, just nodded, smiling. Kyle slashed, and the cow spirit, fell, only to begin fading, as if he had legitimately lost. "Thank… Moo…"
Kyle's brow furrowed. "Was that an intentional pun?"
Meanwhile, Alex and Casanova were fighting Libra. "Fire dragon's Axe!" Alex slashed with the weapon, hitting the spirit, letting Casanova get up. "She can only target one of us at a time!" "Got it!" a pattern continued. One gets crushed by gravity, one distracts/hits Libra, the other gets up, until Cassanova got close enough. "Dream Knock!" suddenly, Libra's eyes closed, and she was fast asleep. The spirit of the scales disappeared shortly afterwards.
"Not bad!" Alex laughed, patting her on the back. "You're good! Anyway, we're looking for that profile, right. Cassanova nodded. "The only question is, which one is his?" she replied, looking at the many profiles in the council's library. "Guess we'll start with his first name…" the two began browsing through the "C" section in the library.
Deracus was facing Aquarius, and made the first move. "Fire-make; Katana!" A katana appeared in his hands, and he charged, but a fast stream of water coming from Aquarius stopped his advance. "Urgh…" he struggled to rise. "Crap… how can I combat my exact weakness…" suddenly, he hit an epiphany. "That could work…" "What are you jabbering about?" the spirit cried out in anger, anger directed at no particular thing, or person. "Just shut up and pass out so I can get to my boyfriend."
Deracus put his plan into action. "Fire-make, Dart! Fire-make, clone!" many fiery bullets and clones appeared. Aquarius made a "humph" noise at this. "Please." She swished her urn, and water flowed into a whirlpool. The fires went out, steam filling the room. "Not enough! Fire-make, Fire darter!" Aquarius scoffed once more. "It'll end the same." While larger, more powerful darts flew, nothing happened. The water extinguished, and more steam filled the room, to the point where nothing was visible. "Argh!" Aquarius angrily yelled. "Where-" Deracus appeared next to her, smirking, his hands crossed at his sides, fire glowing within. "Right here! Fire make…" he charged, slashing with two swords of fire, coating Aquarius in a ball of fire. "…Fire Bringer!" he smiled, panting, as the spirit fell, defeated.
Issack and Jack were hit with arrows and light magic, the two getting forced back.
"Rrrgh! Tendril whip!" Issack was soon holding a whip of his purplish-black goo. He used it to deflect the arrows, while Jack dealt with Leo. "Full body take-over; Guardian of lightning, Byakko!" Jack's body became a white tiger, with lightning crackling all over him. "I can one up, you, Aki!"
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" the two continued they're bickering as they attacked the lion and the archer. Jack clawed at the spirits, while Issack whipped away. While Sagittarius was not quite as agile, Leo fired his Regulus magic at the two. "Regulus Impact!" the two sustained massive damage. "Rrgh… we'll have to end this quickly." Issack stated, with jack nodding. "unison raid?" Issack sighed. "as much as I hate to say it, yeah."
Cassanova sighed. "We're out of files in the 'C' section… you fought him right?" Alex nodded, throwing down the book he was holding.
"Yeah, but I never got his last name." a wolf-like figure walked in.
"what're you two doing?" Alex beamed, not fully realizing the situation. "Oh, hey! Perfect timing. What's your last name?" the slayer shrugged as he answered.
"Kampala. K-A-M-P-A-L-A." Alex thanked him, and told Cassanova to look in the "K" section. It took him a few seconds tor realize what was happening.
"Canine! I guess we'll finish our match?" Canine grinned. "Okay, Armor-boy!"
The only two slayers capable of changing their elements at will face off. I told one to look up info on the other. If my hunch is correct, the once-proud wolf will realized how he was reduced to a lapdog.
