Wade Skull

This was an awe inspiring battle. I saw Leaf destroying their forces with ease. I also saw the start of some of the battles between the strongest people on both sides. I am a very strong member in our Clan. I'd go so far as to say I'm the second strongest warrior in it, right after Leaf. I had my Dharok's Greataxe, platebody, platelegs, and helmet on. I remember my battle with Dharok, where I pried that axe out of his hands, and chopped him in half. Of course Dharok would never die since he was a Barrow Brother. I was waiting around for a battle, when I immediately brought my axe up behind my head, and slashed it behind my back. I turned my head back to see Jancer in his trimmed Dragon Armor. I also looked down to see that he was wearing his Dragon Claws on his hands. Jancer was the one leading this defense, and the one who just received a sizeable gash in his side from my axe. "Man, you guys sure know how to fight dirty."

Jancer responded coolly, even though he was seriously injured, "No, we're just trying to win. Besides, there is no such thing as a fair fight."

"Once I kill you, your force is going to lose hope, so I'm going to finish this quickly."

Jancer responded in the same tone, "You look injured yourself, and that axe had its handle slashed pretty hard by my claws."

I looked down at my axe to see a few cuts that went about an eighth of the way through the handle. I said calmly, "Well the injuries are on purpose to give anyone I fight a handicap, and the cut in my handle isn't serious at all."

"I wanted to fight you at your full strength, but killing you will still count as winning. After saying that he quickly propelled himself forward fast enough that it looked like he was standing on air with the ground moving under him. I swiftly brought up my axe, and blocked both of his claws on its blade. I quickly spun my axe in front of my body like a windmill. He quickly jumped back, just narrowly avoiding losing his hands. I stopped spinning my axe and charged forward. He blocked my Greataxe with both of his claws, but immediately moved his right hand to slash me. Bad idea, I pushed my axe forward with all my strength causing him to spin backwards like a top. I jumped up with my axe raised to cut through his body. I attacked him axe first, but he was able to bring up his claws just in time to block it. From the sheer force of the dive I was still held up in midair, but I couldn't push my axe any harder because of that. My legs started to come down, and sparks seemed to be forming on his claws from the metal going against each other. He sidestepped to my right (the side that the blade was on) swiftly, still pushing his claws against my axe. The sparks generated from him sliding his claws against the blade flew up, and blinded me for a few seconds. I dropped to the ground on my feet, and felt two sharp pains rush up my back. I realized he had blinded me so he could slash me in the back. I turned around, and my sight came back to see his bloodied claws. This hurt me a lot, but I charged forward. I slashed my Greataxe, and he blocked it again with his claws, and cut my arm with one of his claws while my axe was pushing against the other one. Jancer snidely said, "You should give up, it's over."

"No it's not, I still can fight!" Is shot forward with all my strength, and he couldn't hold me back using both of his claws.

He looked scared for his life, and almost shrieked as he shouted, "Piety!" He started pushing my axe back to me, "Looks like this is the end for you Wade." My axe was pushed into my armor, and my chest. I tried fighting it, but he shot forward with a burst of strength. I was pushed back, and had my arm slashed as I fell down. I got back up, and shouted a battle cry as I charged again, spinning my axe like a staff this time. Jancer placed his claws out, and stopped my axe as it was coming down. He pushed me back with ease and slashed my other arm. I got up again and charged, and he did the same thing. We repeated this process about 5 times.

Jancer looked at me, still strong from his Piety prayer. "You should give up Wade. I'm going to win, so you should just make it easy on yourself."

"You won't win, I know it." I charged at him full speed. I did a side slash, and he brought up his claws again to block it.

Jancer said, "It's over, just deal with it, you lost." He pushed into my axe. I was a little worn out but I stayed strong. I was keeping him off. He pushed even harder, and accomplished nothing. A sudden look of fear came upon his face.

"Looks like you lost! Turmoil" I felt a sudden burst of strength. I pushed him back immediately, but he dug his heels into the ground so he wouldn't flip over. I immediately came up to him to attack him while he was recovering.

Jancer quickly shouted, "Protect from Melee!"

"That won't do anything! I'm too strong!" I swung at him hard. He was knocked over this time as I hit his armor and took a good chunk of it out. He was down.

"You're probably wondering how you lost. It's simple. Even though I was worn out, and not as fast my armor increases my strength as I get more and more hurt and fatigued. I damaged myself before this battle so that would happen. That's why I kept on attacking you, even though you outmatched me. When I used Turmoil it was all over. You may be number 2 of the deputy owners, but I'm the second strongest warrior in this clan. I'll kill you now, so you don't have to live with this shame anymore." I got ready to hack his body in half, when I heard Leafbladie shout, "Retreat!" I looked over too see why he would tell us to retreat, and I saw that about three-fourths of our regular force was dead or wounded, and that Unholy Darkness was sending in reinforcements. I quickly came to help them retreat, and spotted that Jancer was up again, and that a pale blue light was fading away. He had used the Redemption to save himself. We'd have to start our fights all over again. All that mattered now was getting back to our turf.
