Chapter I, Act III, Scene I
- Pit, Rail Temple -
There you are, right across the arena from me, I can see you looking right at me - your red eyes meet my blue ones for a moment.
I know the perfect place to fight this out, so follow me, okay?
I turn around and start heading towards the one rail station that I know will lead to the center island, where we can battle it out alone. Along the way you begin to fire arrows at me, which I return by firing shots from my blade. Neither of us are hitting each other. When I reach the rail station I hit the rails right away, heading towards the floating center island where we can finish our battle. You follow me, still firing arrow after arrow in hopes of hitting me. I counter again with my own shots to cancel out your shots.
When I land on the island I keep distance between us, waiting for my blade to charge while dodging your continuous fire. You hold your fire for a moment, and I see it as a chance. My blade finishes charging, and I take aim. As soon as I release the charge I notice that you did the same thing. I don't have enough time to react as I'm hit in the chest by your own charged shot.
This isn't going anywhere fast. Let's finish this, face-to-face.
I watch you shake off the blow like it was nothing, and twist your bow at the center, turning it into two smaller blades. I respond, gripping my blade as a blue glow forms the edge.
We've fought before, but as enemies. I'm not your enemy anymore. Let's fight this out as rivals instead.
I lunge at you, and you follow suit. I know that if we simply exchange blows, the battle will take forever. I've gotten stronger since I defeated Hades, and I've gotten a few new moves in my arsenal as well.
I've gotten stronger, and I'm going to prove it to you today.
I decide to use that move. When I know that I'm close enough I jump high in the air, and hold my blade over my head with two hands. You respond by holding both your blades in a defensive measure. I'm ready to strike down...
... But something stops me.
