Aidan's POV

June 15, 04:04 PM

Finally at the top of the tree to find Lloyd sitting in a dark crystal throne with his back turned to me.

Aidan: "Hey, Lloyd! Your portal opening days are over. Give me the Salem."

Zaka: "If you want it, then you'll have to take it." His throne vanishes as he gets up and turns to look my way. "But you already knew that."

Aidan: "I had a feeling you would say that." As I draw my Eclipse sword. Given how strong the Salem is, I better play smart and only use the Eclipse.

Zaka: "Finally... a second chance to fight you." I rest the Eclipse in my shoulder.

Aidan: "Yeah... really feels like old times, doesn't it?" We then stare and smirk at each other. "Time to finish this Lloyd!" I ready my sword. "Once and for all!" He process to draw the Salem.

Zaka: "I won't lose to the likes of you... Master." Everything starts with numerous sword clashes and he keeps countering my Katana Artes despite not knowing the fighting style himself. Once we get the distance he tends to use a number of dark projectiles from the Salem in the form of energy slashes and dark crystal spikes popping up from he stabs the ground. I avoid his projectiles and try to get close as I use Carnage Scissors followed by Shining Fang. He jumps back uses an energy slash followed up by a charged sword thrust that knocks me back but I recover quickly, clash my blade with his and get in a hold.

Aidan: "It's just about time to settle this!" We break the hold and he finally uses his dark Semblance of controlling Grimm as a number Teryx's come in.

Zaka: "That's right... Come on!" I send out Skeith to handle the Grimm as I can't let them distract me from facing Lloyd. I come at him with an Azure Edge followed up Heavens Charge. He ends up in the center of the ring and calls forth a Manticore, and jumps on its back as it gets close. He flys around the ring until he uses the Manticore to try and dive bomb me to which I get caught in the shock wave. Afterwards we go again to which I attack with Cross Slash and eventually Summon Swords to which he counters we keep duking it out to which he eventually uses his sword to create a dark shadow clone of himself to fight by his side. I activate my God form to match this as I am now quick enough to keep up with both at once until I eventually use Lone Wolf Charge to finish the clone and go back to Lloyd using Scatter Demon as I return to my standard form. After all of this I have no other choice but to enter Divine State.

Aidan: "You sealed away your own sisters power for THIS?" And use the Raging Roar technique to which he quickly recovers from and we rapidly clash at each other until we enter another hold.

Zaka: "My sister means nothing to me...! Wait...?" He breaks the hold and knocks me away with a charged slash which knocks me against a nearby branch and he is al the way on the other side of the ring. "Celena is my sister...? You... You are my father!?"

Aidan: "Haha... Yeah, dumbass. Out of everything you've forgotten you can't remember that?"

Zaka: "Well... It would seem Croft was very thorough in hiding where I come from..."

Aidan: "Please, Croft has been playing everyone for fools. And as much as I would love to go into more detail about that story, I think it's about time we-"

Zaka: "-ended this?" He readies his sword. I call Skeith to my side to which he does the same with a large Camazot. The four of us charge at each other and just as we were about to meet at the center, something gets between us and stops us where we stand. It's hard to see what it is as it's glowing very bright but the light eventually dins down to show Celena between us using Senshi to block our swords, meanwhile... it would seem she can finally summon Kusabira again as it stands behind her hold back Skeith and the Camazot.
