I was worried I wouldn't be able to get this chapter up in time with the way things were going with my internet, but thankfully I managed. Enjoy.
"Next Friday, Delta Secretive Absolute Pendant."
"What's this about?"
"It's that Oblivion guy."
"Oblivion?"
"Yeah, every now and then he puts up a challenge date and anyone who wants can go and challenge him at the location. He's supposed to give a rare item to anyone who can defeat him."
"He sounds obnoxious."
"His current record is 48 wins 0 losses."
"That's not too bad."
"This next person seems interesting,"Kaiyen said, reading the BBS's replies to the next Oblivion challenge date.
"What's it say?"Data asked, drinking a bottle of water.
"If he wins two more matches I'll challenge him."
"You're Exion!"
"Exion?"
"Man, you need to read into the PvP world. Exion is a PKK with a current record of 149 kills and 0 losses."
"Exion the third best PK/PKK in "The World""
"Why would someone with that record challenge this guy?"
"Oblivion is said to be a scythe wielding class."
"Huh, that class sucks, I bet he was fighting weak people."
"Hey! He defeated me two challenges ago, I'm a level 52 Blade master."
"Maybe you suck as well."
"The rest is pretty boring,"Kaiyen said, exiting the BBS.
"I'm surprised CC Corp hasn't done anything to fix the scythe wielding class. I mean even if they did remove the free-hand damage, all Ryo has to do is go melee with Oblivion until his opponant is forced into a vulnerable spot, then he just finishes them off with the scythe,"Data replied.
"Well if he defeats this Exion guy, Oblivion will be pretty famous, plus it means Ryo will prove whether or not he's getting better against others who can think, unlike monster."
"Ryo and Sakura are taking their weekly test right now, aren't they?"Data asked, leaning back in the recliner.
"I believe so,"Kaiyen answered, closing the curtains to his room to block the sun.
"Being idle sure is boring,"Data commented, sighing.
----------
Ryo scratched his head, making another mark on the answer sheet.
"How the hell am I supposed to know these names, this isn't going to help me in the future,"Ryo moaned.
"Keep working,"some middle aged man barked from the doorway.
"Yes, sir,"Ryo replied, dropping his head on the desk. "I hate history."
----------
"Hey, Kaiyen,"Data said, casually.
"Huh?"Kaiyen responded.
Data rolled his head over to look at Kaiyen.
"That Exion guy...since we have nothing to do, want to look into his character?"
Kaiyen, who had been laying on his bed, thought for moment.
"I suppose we have nothing else to do."
With a sigh Kaiyen got up and walked over to his laptop. Data slowly forced himself up and got into the chair next to Kaiyen's. After the computer started up Kaiyen opened up a few programs and began typing something.
"Exion, E-x-i-o-n?"Kaiyen asked.
"Yeah."
"Let's see, he's a fighter, level 75, that's 15 higher than Oblivion."
"Yeah, but in a player verse player match levels are only so important, 20 levels is probably where a match can be decided by statistics alone,"Data commented.
"It seems he has a one-of-a-kind weapon."
"Oh?"
Kaiyen hit a few buttons.
"Skeleton Fist. According to the description it was a prize in an event. The user absorbs 50 of the damage dealt."
"So he doesn't have to be good at all, with a weapon like that it's like an endless amount of life since his class of choice is built for speed and power."
"He's online, shall we check out how he fights?"Kaiyen asked.
"Sure,"Data answered.
Kaiyen hit the enter button and "The World" popped up in a video viewer.
"He's female,"Kaiyen said, clearing his throat.
"So it seems."
----------
Exion appeared in the desert field. Her hair was long, falling to her waist in the back, and in the front her bangs were split into two which fell to the shoulder. She wore a black leather tank-top which left a lot of her pale skin exposed. Her lower garments consisted of black shorts which reached half way to her knees and black sandals. On her arms were two gauntlets which reached from just below her elbows to the end of her fingers where they wrapped around and became claws. The gauntlets were made of what resembled crushed bones.
"There you are,"someone said, pushing themself out from beneath the sand.
Four others followed in suit, and as though zombies, they appeared from beneath the ground, encircling Exion.
"More angry PKers?"she asked with a grin.
Her voice was surprisingly innocent sounding.
"Maybe, or maybe we just feel like breaking your 149 winning streak,"he grinned.
As if through a hidden command the five suddenly reached to their sides grabbing their daggers.
"Lucky for you guys, I'm saving my 150th kill for Oblivion, so I'll just settle with taking you guys to an inch of your life,"she said, getting into a bear-styled fighting stance.
The first one ran up and slashed down with one dagger but Exion had already moved out of the way and grabbed the twinblade's wrists.
"What are you waiting for, get her,"the twinblade ordered.
Exion pulled the twinblade closer while kneeing him in the stomach. He was pushed to the ground and crawled back. Two of the other four had approached her but hesitated. She turned her head which was enough to get them to back off.
----------
"Five player killers are hesitant to even try and attack. How sad,"Kaiyen commented.
"They probably aren't very high level or something,"Data said.
----------
"Well? I already said I don't plan on killing you. Are you worried about wasting items then?"she asked, looking around.
"If she's the third best, how are we going to beat the other two, boss?"one of the twinblades asked.
"Retreat for now,"the talkative twinblade replied.
The five disappeared in golden rings.
"After Oblivion I should try taking on the second best,"Exion said, holding her chin.
----------
"So, what's your opinion?"Kaiyen asked.
"We should probably let Ryo know, his training appears to be attracting more attention than we hoped for,"Data answered.
"I'll let you take care of that, I'll get her player information ready,"Kaiyen said, beginning to work with the laptop.
----------
"Even after all the studying I did this week that test was a pain. When the hell will we be working on the AIs, I need an excuse,"Ryo complained to himself as he walked out of the testing room.
It's been a little over a week since I last did anything related to Jugatsu or the AIs Ryo though as he walked around a corner.
"You could at least wait for me,"Sakura scolded, running after Ryo.
"I'm not in the mood, Sakura,"Ryo sighed.
"What's wrong?"she asked, respecting his fatigue and settling with walking next to him.
"My grades last week could have been better, but with all the AI related stuff we were doing I couldn't help it. I figured since this week had been slow I would've been able to do better, but..."Ryo finished, the rest being obvious.
"You can always come to my room and study with me,"Sakura said, hiding a grin.
Ryo sighed."I already told you, I know if I go over I'll end up getting less studying done than if I study by myself."
"Ryo,"Data said walking up.
"Yeah?"Ryo asked, turning from Sakura.
"There's something interesting Kaiyen and I want you to see."
"Is it AI related?"
"No, it's training related, but...It'd be easier just to show you, come on,"Data said.
"Can I come?"Sakura asked, scooting closer to Ryo.
"Sure,"Data answered.
----------
"This is "The World"'s third best PK?"Ryo asked, looking at the information on Kaiyen's laptop.
"Well, technically a PKK, but I suppose PKK's fall under the ranking of PK as well,"Data said.
"And she wants to challenge Ryo?"Sakura asked.
"As soon as he get two more wins, and providing he doesn't lose,"Kaiyen answered.
"So what do you suggest I do?"Ryo asked the two.
"Well, I would suggest waiting for us to get a few videos of her fighting style, ones better than the one we just showed you. This way it would be easier to fight her. Your level could be a problem because she's quite a bit stronger, but if you can out-fight her then it shouldn't be a problem,"Kaiyen said.
"Isn't that kind of cheap?"Ryo responded.
"It's better than going in blind, besides if you beat her then you'll have to be given the title as the third strongest PK which would mean stronger enemies would be out to fight you and as a result your training will improve by far,"Data answered.
"True, but if Ryo can barely win after being given this big of an advantage it means when others challenge him he won't have the advantage so he'll probably lose,"Sakura countered.
"We'll worry about that when the time comes. Besides this is training, Ryo already knows the AIs well enough to fight them. Unlike the AIs, he trains so while Ryo is becoming more skilled the AIs are using the same tactics. I mean, when is the last time we've seen anything new?"Data recountered.
"They still seem to be growing stronger and stronger though. So even though they haven't come up with any knew tactics, Ryo has to do more than learn some new techniques and raise Coinchii's level,"Kaiyen said, interrupting the two.
"Anyone would lose moral with you people talking,"Ryo said, head drooping.
"Would you rather us say 'You can't lose' then have no drive to prove us wrong?"Kaiyen asked.
"Honestly, I'd prefer having the backing of at least my friends,"Ryo grumbled.
Kaiyen patted him on the back.
"I'll tell you what, if you can beat Exion I'll see if I can have Code go easier when it comes to your grades, but if you lose I'll make sure Code increases your training,"Kaiyen said.
"No fair, you're attacking my weak point,"Ryo groaned.
"This is coming from Mr. Gifted,"Sakura joked.
"It isn't hard being gifted,"Ryo protested.
"So, yes or no, Ryo?"Kaiyen asked.
Ryo closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
"I guess,"he answered.
"It's settled then. Data you take care of Ryo's arrangements, I'll work on preparing Ryo the next two days until his fight with Exion."
"Will do,"Data replied casually leaving the room.
"You two log into "The World", after I set a tracker on Exion I'll join you so we can begin some intensive training,"
"Intensive..."Ryo grumbled, being pulled out of the room by Sakura.
I feel like a puppet, being the main character is for the birds. If I was Suichi I could be relaxing at home...or actually I think they're at school now, it's better than being here at times, Ryo thought, continueing the complaining in his head.
"I remember hearing about when you first came here,"Sakura said suddenly.
"Huh?"Ryo replied at the random statement.
"Everyone said you were all serious and that all you were thinking about was beating the AIs,"Sakura continued.
Ryo began blushing and looked away, but fell over when Sakura stopped dragging him by his jacket.
"It's because you were worried about us, right?"
Ryo was getting more and more red."Yeah, well,"he replied, embaressed.
"I remembered saying that it must have been the wrong person because my Ryo was an empty-headed idiot."
Low moral, tired, now I feel bad, and I'm being insulted, Ryo griped in his head, getting up.
"Then when I finally met up with you when I came here it turned out that you were serious about something for once. It made me feel good."
"Sakura, this embaressing enough, can you just skip to the point?"Ryo asked, beat red from embaressement.
"You don't know how to set the mood do you?"Sakura scolded, turning to him.
A sweatdrop fell down Ryo's head.
"Anyways, the point is, lately you've been losing your drive. I think everyone has noticed it, do you want us getting injured again?"
"Sakura..."Ryo responded, feeling like a jerk.
"Exactly, you don't, stop complaining all the time, then. Although it's one of the cute things you do now isn't really the time for it,"she said, somewhat angry.
Is she being serious or not? Bah, women... Ryo thought to himself.
"I supposed you're right,"Ryo said, closing his eyes.
Code appeared around a near-by corner laughing.
"That was entertaining,"he said, his laugh becoming a chuckle.
Ryo began blushing again.
"Well, don't let me keep you, I was informed by Data what's going on, I'll put a hold on training for the next two days so Kaiyen can train you,"Code said, walking away and still chuckling.
"Why did someone have to hear something that cheezy?"Ryo mumbled under his breath.
He sighed and continued towards the computer room, followed by Sakura.
----------
Oblivion appeared as the surrounding golden rings vanished.
"Something happen on the way to the computer room?" Orion asked.
"Nothing major,"Oblivion said, looking away.
"Has the grid prevented any attacks?"Miryo asked, looking up at the sky.
"Oh, well there hasn't been any attacks in town since it's been created, at least nothing has been reported that is,"Orion replied.
"Okay, shall we begin training?"Skyld asked appearing in front of the chaos gate with AnakinseZ.
"Huh?"Oblivion asked.
"I asked AnakinseZ and Skyld if they could help, since they know you're Coinchii also,"Orion answered.
"Oh yeah, Suichi, er, Mohi and the others don't know about Oblivion do they?"Oblivion said.
"Only those two, the people in CC Corp, and the people on our team know,"Orion replied. "First thing is first, I'll be in party with Oblivion, you three party up, and let's decide on a map."
"Do we know any maps that would be void of monsters?"Miryo asked.
"What about the map the ERS held the pre-initiation thing at?"Oblivion stated.
"It feels like the start of the ERS was ages ago. It's been about three months since Ryo joined and all the crazy stuff happened,"Anakinse said, in a relaxed, but oddly enough tense looking, stance.
"Alright, so what was the location name?"Miryo asked.
"Let me check through the dungeon list,"AnakinseZ said, staring at the Chaos Gate.
"So what will this sparring consist of anyways?"Oblivion asked, waiting for AnakinseZ to find the area's name.
"You usually use this character against other players only and we have people from the orion rank actually come and level Oblivion up while you're not playing on him. So instead of just relying on levels, stats, and what you learn from Sensei Byaku, it'll probably be more benificial if you spend the next two days getting better used to Oblivion and studying Exion's battle movements. She absorbs hit points when she inflicts damage because of her weapon so it'll be best to avoid being hit all together,"Orion explained.
"So I'll be sparring with Skyld and AnakinseZ?"
"Yeah, only, they won't be using weapons, so if they manage to hit you, even though you won't take any damage we'll still have you start over."
"Found it,"AnakinseZ said finally."Delta Chosen Forbidden Great Hall was the area keywords."
"Delta Chosen Forbidden Great Hall,"Orion and AnakinseZ said to the Chaos Gate.
The golden rings surrounded everyone and after disappearing they found themself in the same roman styled room with the U-shaped table around them.
"So we just begin?"Oblivion asked.
Orion nodded.
"I'll go first,"Skyld offered.
"So before we begin, let me just double check, if you can hit me, I lose and I have to hit both of you with my scythe without getting hit?"Oblivion asked.
"Basically,"AnakinseZ answered.
"Ready...Begin,"Miryo announced, pretending to be the judge.
Skyld took a step forward, staring at Oblivion, who looked hesitant as to whether or not he should move.
"Go already,"Orion ordered.
Oblivion took two steps
forward, putting one hand stretched out and keeping one by his chest.
Skyld ran forward ready to attack, but instead ducked as Oblivion
attempted to grab at him. Skyld took a victory by hitting Oblivion in
his stomach.
"Skyld wins,"Miryo said in a disappointed
tone.
The two returned to the previous spots.
"Ready...Begin,"Miryo
commanded again.
Oblivion took the offensive this time running
towards Skyld. Skyld slid his foot forward in an attempt to trip
Oblivion, but he managed to jump over kicking Skyld back. Skyld
regained his footing after stumbling a few steps back. Oblivion
charged forward, pulling his scythe of the dark mist that appeared by
his hands. Skyld ducked to the side as Oblivion slashed upwards with
the massive weapon. Unable to block in time because of the weapon
Skyld won again with a quick counter punch.
"Skyld wins again,"Miryo announced.
The two returned once again to the beginning locations.
"Ready...Begin,"Miryo
said, obviously losing interest in being the judge by this point.
"I
need to remember to clear my head, I can't keep rushing in,"Oblivion
said to himself.
Skyld began slowly walking forward.
"Wait for an opening before going in and attack in a way that'll leave another opening."
Skyld was getting closer.
"Alright,"Oblivion breathed.
Oblivion dashed forward, and stepped to the side to avoid a punch. He grabbed for the arm and threw Skyld back some. Before he could turn around, Oblivion followed up by charging into Skyld making him stumble futher. Oblivion stepped back and kicked Skyld in the back of his knees causing him to fall over. A dark mist appeared, Oblivion grabbed his scythe from it and sliced downwards. Skyld had rolled out of the way and got back up. Oblivion dismissed his scythe and jumped forward, getting a blow on Skyld's face making him fall backwards. He recalled his scythe and landed an attack on Skyld before he could get back up.
"Oblivion wins,"Miryo announced.
Skyld used a Healing Potion and got out of the way, letting AnakinseZ get into position.
"Second round, AnakinseZ against Oblivion. Ready...Begin!"
Both players began running towards eachother. As they came within striking distant they skid to a stop and took a step back to distance themselves. Oblivion took a step forward while ducking and aimed an attack at AnakinseZ's torso, but AnakinseZ reflected the would-be attack and nailed Oblivion in the side of his face with his other hand.
"AnakinseZ wins."
"We're going to keep going until you can defeat both of them three consecutive times,"Orion said, as the next round began.
----------
The training lasted well into night. Around midnight Orion ended the training. Oblivion's record wasn't very good at all, for every victory he had Skyld and AnakinseZ had three or four victories. As exhausted as one could get from playing "The World" Ryo collapsed on his bed quickly falling asleep. The next day carried similar results only AnakinseZ had other things to attend to so Orion took his place. Oblivion's record improved slightly after being rested, but against Orion he didn't manage any wins. Eventually Oblivion improved against Skyld, making the goal of three consecutive victories and finished with five consecutives wins as a record. By the end of the day he was still unable to beat Orion, who had more experiance in the same style of combat, a single time.
The following morning Ryo reviewed the clips of Exion's battle style. It consisted mostly of distracting her opponant with odd stances and quick follow up attacks. Her general hand-to-hand abilities seemed otherwise average, meaning her victories came from her stats and tricks more than her skill.
"People are already here to fight,"Miryo said, as she and Oblivion warped into the map.
Various characters were scattered through out the map.
"Are you sure it's a good idea for you to come with me as a judge?"Oblivion asked, as they started to look for a suitable location to fight.
"It's not like anyone we know would be interested in this kind of thing,"Miryo protested.
"If you say so,"Oblivion responded.
"How's this location?"Miryo asked.
The field was like a wasteland of stone and dirt which had a few small mountains through out the area. The location they decided on was one of the said miniature mountains which had a leveled top that rose about 20 or so feet above the rest of the area.
"Alright, do your thing,"Oblivion said to Miryo.
"If you're here to challenge Oblivion please line up along the path up this hill!"Miryo screamed.
A few people seemed hesitant at first but the people gradually lined up.
"I don't see Exion yet,"Miryo commented to Oblivion.
"Is she the judge or something?"an archer asked walking onto the leveled ground.
Oblivion nodded.
"Oblivion's current record is 48 wins and no losses, this is the 49th match. Ready...begin!"Miryo said.
An arrow appeared in the archer's hand as he pulled back the string on his bow. Oblivion took this time to close the gap between the two. The arrow missed because Oblivion was moving too quickly. By the time the archer had a second arrow ready to shoot Oblivion made it up to him, taking him down in a tackle. The archer dropped his bow and seemed disoriented at first. Oblivion's scythe was out and had already finished off the player by the time he realized what happened.
"The record is now 49 wins to zero losses, next challenger?"Miryo asked.
No one stepped up. The body of the defeated player disappeared and Oblivion returned to his original position.
"No one else was here to challenge him, what's everyone doing then?"Miryo complained.
"We wanted to see Exion fight,"someone shouted.
Various 'Yeah's followed the statement.
"They remind me of Dylan's fangirls,"Miryo said to herself.
"Does anyone know when she'll get here?"Oblivion asked.
No one answered.
"If nobody knows then someone should at least fight until then,"Miryo reasoned.
"I'll fight,"someone called out.
"Awesome, we have a challenger,"Miryo hummed.
The players moved out allowing the person to get up to the simplistic stage.
"Cuoka!?"Miryo said, shocked as she saw the challenger was a friend of hers.
"Ah, it's my beautiful fallen angel. I take you've dumped Coinchii by now?"he asked, grinning.
A sweatdrop fell down Oblivion's head.
"I'm still with him. We're closer than ever,"she happily responded with a cat-like grin.
Dammit, she's taking advantage of me being on Oblivion, that's low, Oblivion thought. Cuoka sighed.
"Ah well. I guess I'll just have to win you over by being the first to beat Oblivion,"he said, getting in a battle stance.
"Oh, right,"Miryo said, almost forgetting the self-appointed judge duty. "Challenger 50, against Oblivion with a record of 49 wins and no losses. Ready...Begin!"
If it's Cuoka...I guess it's just a game, and it's not like he knows it me. I shouldn't have to hold back...I hope I can go all out, Oblivion thought as Cuoka began walking side to side.
Oblivion got into his battle stance and like a signal, Cuoka took the offense running forward. Since his character was taller than average it covered the distance quickly.
"Think of this as a pre-Exion warm up,"Oblivion said below his breath before stepping forward and knocking away one of Cuoka's attacks.
The second attack came quicker than his first, but Oblivion managed to knock it away as well. With that attack deflected Cuoka's foot came from Oblivion's right, knocking him to the ground. Before Cuoka could follow up his attack Oblivion jumped back up and put his strength into a punch that knocked Cuoka a few steps back, but because of the system did no real damage unlike Cuoka's hits. Oblivion covered the few steps and attempted a second attack, but instead ended up being countered. Two more punches were landed on Oblivion's torso before he could react again.
I didn't know he could be this fast Oblivion thought punching with his left. Cuoka took the bait and turned towards the fist, knocking it away. Oblivion meanwhile was already attacking with his right and landed a solid blow against Cuoka's face knocking him to the ground. Oblivon quickly pulled out his scythe and brought it down on Cuoka, taking out most of his HP in a single hit. Cuoka pushed himself up, but wasn't quick enough and was killed before he could jump out of the way of Oblivion's follow-up attack.
"Oblivion's record is now 50 wins to zero losses,"Miryo shouted, with a slightly quivering voice.
Oblivion used a Healing Potion on himself.
"My conscience is going to kill me over this later,"Oblivion whispered to himself.
"I guess it's my turn,"someone said walking up the path.
The spectators began cheering and made a path so the guest of the main event could make her way up to the battle area.
"It's Exion,"Miryo said, looking over at Oblivion.
"Go easy on me okay,"Exion said winking at Oblivion in a cutesy fashion.
"This is Exion? She acts nothing like what we saw in the videos,"Oblivion said to himself.
"Oblivion 50 wins to zero losses, fighting Exion with 149 kills to zero losses. Ready...Begin!"Miryo shouted.
"Good luck,"Exion said with a friendly smile.
Does she have a sister on her account or something? Oblivion asked himself.
He looked at her once again but she was already over half way towards him.
"She must be trying to distract me, that's her specialty,"Oblivion realized too late as Exion had already reached him and hit him directly in the face knocking him back. He attempted to look ahead in order to fight back but she managed to get behind him and brought both of her fists down on Oblivion's head, knocking him face-first to the ground. Oblivion rolled sideways a few times before getting back up. This time he had enough time to react and grabbed the fist Exion attempted to punch him with, but it proofed to be useless as within a second afterwards she managed to get her foot up high enough to kick Oblivion in his side causing him to fall to a knee where she kneed him in the face afterwards.
She's too fast. At this rate, Oblivion thought as she picked him up off the ground.
"Too..."Oblivion mouthed before falling limp.
"What happened?"Exion asked.
"You didn't kill him yet, did you?"Miryo asked.
"According to my screen he still has a decent amount of hit points,"Exion replied, looking over at Miryo.
With almost an explosion Oblivion's fist crashed into Exion's skull sending her spinning backwards a few steps. Oblivion raised his head revealing a secret only Miryo would be able to notice. The eyes gave away that he had been taken over by Jugatsu.
"Nice hit, too bad it doesn't do any damage,"Exion replied while smiling friendly.
Oblivion was able to see through the guise and pulled out his scythe. Exion leaped out of the way as the tip of the scythe crashed into the earth where she was standing.
"Dammit, I can't fool you anymore,"she said with a more serious expression.
Exion ducked under the next slash, but wasn't able to defend against the next attack that Oblivion launched after ridding himself of the heavy weapon. The knee made contact knocking her onto her ass. The scythe came back out and cut into Exion, removing her of about one third of her hit points.
"That kind of strength should be illegal,"she remarked, rolling backwards and onto her feet.
The scythe was gone yet again, except this time she couldn't find Oblivion either.
"He's above you,"some shouted.
"How?"she asked turning upwards.
Oblivion's foot landed square on Exion's face. Oblivion jumped off, kicking her in the jaw with his other foot. She stumbled back and lost another third of her hit points as Oblivion quickly followed-up the ambush with a scythe attack.
"How did he get up there, nobody can jump that high,"Exion thought aloud.
She blocked the next two attacks Oblivion attempted. Oblivion's third attack was an attempted knee to the stomach, but Exion grabbed his knee and tossed him to the side. She jumped over, trying to land a kick as he got up, but instead Oblivion rolled towards her direction causing her to over jump. Oblivion got up with enough spare time to launch another attack. His scythe came out and was on aim swinging upwards towards Exion who was too busy turning around to dodge. She paused with fear as the scythe stopped just short of landing the final blow.
She glanced cautiously towards Oblivion who was beginning to rock side to side.
"Are you okay?"Miryo asked, running over to him.
"Everyone get off of this map now,"a voice suddenly said.
Momiri and Venus suddenly appeared next to Oblivion.
"I'll ask once again, everyone please return to town and avoid this map,"Momiri ordered once more.
The players reluctantly began warping out.
"What's going on?"Exion asked, stepping back from Oblivion's scythe.
"Force Warp, player Exion,"Momiri said suddenly.
Exion disappeared in a set of golden rings.
"Alright, I'm not picking up any other players on the map,"Code said, his voice coming from nowhere.
Oblivion's scythe vanished, but Oblivion continued to sway back and forth.
"What's going on with Ryo?"Miryo asked, grabbing Venus's sleeve.
"We picked up wierd brain waves, they're Jugatsu's but something is different this time, everything is static," Code answered.
"So what's happening?"she asked in a more fierce tone.
"We can't say anything yet,"Code said, trying to calm her down.
Suddenly a light started pulsating from Oblivion's body. Every few second a wave of golden light shot out from the rocking Scythe-Wielder causing the map to shake.
"Code, you're sure Jugatsu was in control before this?"Momiri asked.
"Positive. Exion was winning at the beginning of the match and in desperation Ryo must have summoned Jugatsu, but I don't know what happened to trigger this,"Code said during the now more frequent pulsations.
"Activation,"Oblivion said as light began to shine around his body. In a glow of golden light Oblivion let out a shout as he vanished.
Reviews ect. so on welcome per usual. Be sure to tune in for the next chapter, I have big plans for it.
