Author's Note: Time for a big fight! Also I thank you all for reading this far to the thirty-fifth chapter. Even though it says thirty-six above but you know what I mean. Your support means a lot to me my dear readers and for that I give you a round of applause. Now without further ado let us begin.
Chapter 35: Future Dissaster
Skull tossed Hilda to the side and she collided with a wall with shear force. Yuki watched as she hit the wall and fall to the floor with a thud and turned back to face the former Ace. Skull then smiled evilly at Yuki and said something.
"Bone Blade."
As Skull said that his left hand started to make cracking noises and then it formed to create a sharp, narrow bone sword. He then placed the sword on Yuki's throat and smiled evilly at her.
"Ace…please. I didn't mean to make you angry." Yuki said with tears in her eyes.
"Like I said before Yuki. Ace is dead. There is only Skull!" Skull said to her.
Skull then raised the sword as he was about to bring it down. As he did this Yuki screamed only in fear as she was going to experience death from her former lover but something happened. Skull was going to lower his sword but when he did he felt something jerking his arm. He tried to bring it down again and he couldn't.
He then turned around to see why he hasn't lowered his arm and saw that webbing was holding his arm. He then followed the webs to the source and he saw Kai holding the webs with his hands.
"Kai!" Skull hissed.
Yuki looked over to see Kai as well and she was surprised to see him but wondered why he was here.
-a few seconds earlier-
-Kai's P.o.v-
I came here to give Yuki a message from Willow. Willow was training so she needed me to give Yuki the message. Of course I would have been training myself but as a good boyfriend I should do these kind of things for my girl.
So of course I'm walking in this castle looking for Yuki. If I know her she's probably with Ace right now. I started to ascend on the stairs thinking that they were probably up there in some room. As I ascended up stairs I heard talking. I too a peek to see who it was and I saw a skeleton holding Yuki and Hilda.
"What the heck!? Who is this guy?" I muttered.
I then watched as he chucked Hilda towards a wall forcing her to go unconscious and then he turned the arm he was holding Hilda into a sword. He said a few words which I totally ignored and rushed from my hiding place to stop him before anything else went wrong.
"Spider's Grasp." I whispered.
As I said that I shot webbing out of my finger tips and they latched themselves onto the skeleton. I felt him jerk his arm as if he was going to bring it down on Yuki but I didn't allow that. I kept a firm grip on the webbing so this bastard wouldn't hurt her and as expected he turned to face me revealing his skeleton face but something was familiar about him.
-Now-
-No P.o.v-
"Release me from this webbing now Kai!" Skull hissed.
Kai eyes widen as he heard the Skeleton said his name.
"How do you know my name? We never even met before." Kai said with a glare.
"Oh I assure you we have met before. Bro!" Skull sneered.
Kai's eyes widen as he heard Bro. He then realized that the Skeleton was Ace and he seemed to loosen his grip on the webbing. Seeing Kai do this Skull threw Yuki at Kai and the two collided with each other and tumbled to the ground.
"You shouldn't be here Kai. This involves me and these two Skeleton Sluts!" Skull sneered.
Kai immediately got up followed by Yuki and they both stared Ace or Skull in this case. Yuki looked over at Kai and she saw his nervous face. She figured that he was scared to see Ace like this but it was something else that came up on his mind.
"Ace C'mon man. Fight that Skeleton side of you that's in your head. You would never say such distasteful words to Yuki. Hilda I can totally understand but you love Yuki don't you?" Kai told Ace.
"Your word will not help you Kai and stop calling me Ace. He died the moment his heart broke. I. AM. SKULL!" He growled.
Skull then rushed at Kai and Yuki but Kai intercepted and kicked skull dead in the face. Yuki was surprised in seeing this and thought that Kai would hesitate to hit his friend but he didn't.
Skull soon recovered from the attack and stared at Kai with intense anger. Kai on the other hand glared at Skull with hate and rage.
"Get out of my friend you bastard. Leave his body alone or I will kill you." Kai growled.
"Like a simple arachnid will defeat me. I am sheer death Kai and you are nothing but a insect. So I will give you two options. Leave while I'm not angry after that kick or die along side these wretchs." Skull said.
Kai cracked his knuckles and his neck and glared at Skull with Spider-like eyes.
"Very well. You'll be the first victim." Skull said.
Skull rushed at Kai and started to slash at him with his bone like sword but Kai dodged the attacks. Skull then used his free hand and grabbed Kai's arm which Kai took by surprised and through him towards the ceiling. Instead of crashing like Skull suspected Kai clunged onto the surface and ricochet back towards Skull and kicked him in the face.
Skull moved back and growled to himself as his skull cracked after the impact. Kai then landed on the ground safely beside Yuki and began to think.
"There's not enough room for me to use any of my spider attacks but I still have the advantage when it comes to agility and speed so far. My guess is that Skull or whatever shaped Kai's body into something that he can use. This is almost like the first time when Skull appeared when that incident happened but we were young back then and Skull was weak so Theron and I were able to take him down. Now we're older and he now chose the time to reappear for some reason that's unknown to me. All I know is that during the time where he laid dormant Skull could have been observing us. Which means he knows about the battle with me and Blazette I presume. Though despite this getting Ace back will not be like back then. But one things for certain is that I need to get him outside." Kai thought.
"What's wrong Spider brat!? Are you scared to come and attack me?" Skull shouted.
"Horned Arachnid." Kai whispered.
Kai's back, head, and arms where soon covered by sharp 6 inch long spikes that sprouted from Kai's body. Yuki was actually surprised and took a few steps back from Kai who bo crouch on all fours. He then sprinted towards Skull who wasn't prepared for what he was about to experience and rammed into his ribs. The spike horns on Kai's head stuck themselves in the ribs of Skull and Kai continued on running.
"Release…Me!" Skull demanded.
"Hell no!" Kai shouted.
Kai then rammed Skull through a wall with him as well and they both fell from an amazing height towards the ground. Kai then punched Skull in the face before kicking him off sending the Skeleton towards the ground faster. Skull saw that he was going to get to the ground first and pointed his Skeleton hand at Kai and shouted.
"Bone Chain!"
Skulls's arm then shot out from it's socket but it was connected by some limply flesh like chain. Kai saw this and tried to avoid the arm but couldn't since he was in the air. The arm then latched itself on Kai's leg and pulled him towards Skull which forced the two to fight each other in close combat. Both Skull and Kai fought relentlessly with each other. Violent blows were being passed from one to the other but Kai seemed to be the one getting the brunt of most of the blows since that Skull is mostly a skeleton.
Skull then took a glimpse and saw how far they were from the ground. He then smiled which caught Kai by surprise and grabbed the boy with his Skeleton hands. He tightly wrapped the arms around Kai's body which made Kai struggle to get free but he couldn't. Skull then flipped both Kai and himself upside down and began to spin and before they knew it both fighters collided with the ground with a explosion. Their was a massive dust cloud and when it dispersed their was a crater about 15 blocks wide and 8 blocks deep. Inside the Crater skull emerged from under some dirt blocks and he seemed to be unharmed from the impact.
"Heheh! Pathetic…simply pathetic." Skull said.
He then walked over to a mound with a foot sticking out. Skull only grinned and grabbed the foot with his Skeleton hand. He then raised the foot in the air to reveal a severely wounded Kai who was buried beneath the dirt blocks. Kai was upside down since Skull was holding his leg and blood seemed out of Kai's head. His arms right arm was bent in a sickening way while the other hung limply towards the ground. Kai's shirt had rips and was also torn and his hair was totally messed up.
"You cease to surprise me Spider Brat. If you ran away then you wouldn't be in this mess." Skull insisted.
Kai then spat blood at Skulls face which enraged the Skeleton. He then slammed the wounded boy to the ground and stomped on his chest crushing his ribs. Kai yelled in pain and grabbed Skulls leg with his good hand but it seemed to be pointless. Skull then raised his arm and it turned into a Bone-like sword. He then lowered it on Kai's neck and grinned evilly.
"This is going to be the second time that you have died Kai! I hope you have a great after life!" Skull snickered.
Skull raised the bone-like blade above Kai and was going to execute the wounded guy. Kai on the other hand growled in sheer pain but noticed something. Skull may not have realized it but a familiar Wither head was soaring straight for him. Taking this to his advantage Kai opened his mouth and spat a web onto Skulls face and he yelled in disgust. Kai only smiled and before he knew it the Wither head grabbed Kai and took him out of the whole.
Kai was then dragged along the ground for about 2 minutes until he was beside Haze Yuki and Hilda.
"Oh…Hey…Haze." Kai said in a weakened voice.
"You alright? I came as fast as I can when Yuki explained what happened." Haze said.
"Did she tell you the whole thing?" Kai asked.
"Yeah she did." Haze said.
The chat was cut short when Skull came out of the whole. He then stared at Haze seeing a new challenger has joined.
"Well…the Wither Prince has decided to join the fun I take it." Skull said.
"Indeed I have. I have also heard that you harmed my sisters which makes you my number one threat." Haze said with smoke escaping his mouth.
"Oh goodie! I would love to fight you but I have other plans so I can't be wasting my time with you. I have plans you see and I cannot afford to waist time now that I'm awake." Skull said.
Everyone didn't understand what he meant by that but were wide-eyed to see Skulls body become covered by bones that sprouted from the ground.
"We will meet again my dear fools but when we do things will be different. I will not allow any of you to be breathing or standing when I'm done." Skull said.
Skull was then covered completely by the bones which made Haze glare. He then swung his Wither head at the top of the bones where Skulls head would be and shattered the Bone like coffin with ease. To his dismay Skull wasn't there at all.
"He's..gone." Haze said.
"Dammit! This bastard is going to be a dead man when I find him." Kai growled before coughing.
Haze then turned to Yuki and Hilda and glared at both of them. He then used his Wither head and slapped Hilda so hard that a cut formed on her cheek. Hilda winced in pain but didn't yell from Hazes slap which surprised Kai.
"Hilda I want you to return to the Nether and stay in your room until I deem that you are worthy to come out. I'm so angry with you right now that I can't even look at youor think of a reasonable punishment." Haze said with a angry like voice.
"Y-yes brother." Hilda said as she placed her hand on her bleeding cheek.
Haze then stared at Yuki and she seemed to cower knowing how angry he was.
"And you Yuki. You are to stay in your room until I come and speak to you. I must bring Kai back to Willow before he bleeds out from his cuts." Haze said.
Kai's eyes widen when he heard his name come from Haze but lowered them when Haze wasn't going to harm him.
"Yes brother." Yuki said.
The two sisters then walked back to the castle in silence. Haze then turned his attention towards Kai and sighed in stress.
"Your friend Ace…do you think that we'll be able to save him?" Haze asked as he rubbed his head.
"I-I don't know. The last time he did this Theron and I were able to save him but…I really don't know now." Kai replied.
Haze nodded and used his Wither heads to pick Kai up. He then flew off towards the Spider castle while having some thoughts in his mind.
"After this I'm gonna have to tell King Webs and Bones about this. They need to know what happened since that Ace or Skull is going to become a dangerous threat. By the way he looks I could be able to defeat him but when he said that he has 'Plans' that really concerns me. Still…if he becomes stronger during the next few days then I won't be able to stop him. Plus Skreel isn't here to help so fighting this guy would be a problem." Haze thought.
As Haze was stuck in his thought Kai was also thinking about their situation right now.
"This is bad. Not only does Skull show up a second time but he's stronger then before. The more he stays out the more he'll change. It's just like Ace's mother said before she passed away. That's what triggered Skull to be born in the first place but now is a different story. I'm gonna have to warn Theron about this but in the state that I'm in I won't be able to. I just hope that we'll be able to stop Ace before we assume the worst." Kai thought.
Author's Note: And here's the end of chapter 35. Ace is gone, Kai is badly wounded, Yuki and Hilda have angered Haze forcing them to go in punishment, and now Haze is becoming part of this mess. Will our hero's be able to stop Skull before he becomes a dangerous threat? Stay tuned to find out.
