Rotting Wounds
Cold droplets of water trickled through the endless strands of Kidd's golden locks, her smeared white tiger striped cheeks stir along with her eyes. Cerulean orbs flutter weak and weary lashes at new surroundings. It was dark, very dark, looked like an abandoned mine of some sorts. "What the?" Kidd said before immediately shivering at the unbearable coldness that crawled up her small body. Kidd felt bare, as if she was wearing nothing.
Shaking cold eyes stare down and gasp, Kidd was now reduced to mere white rags covering over her breasts and her red shorts. "Finally awake I see, for a moment I thought your nightmares weren't going to let you go" a dark voice said. Weakly Kidd moved but found her wrists bound in chains above her pretty head, her bare toes wiggled at the feeling of chains over her ankles. The girl was hanging on a chain, like some prize for this stranger.
"Who the bloody hell are you? Show yourself before I" Kidd started, ultimately being cut off by the stranger's dark maniacal laughter. The voice grinned a Cheshire smile in the darkness "It's been a long time child; I haven't seen you since I brainwashed you to fight that foolish boy Serge". Immediately seeing the golden cat eyes appear, and the sound of that voice, Kidd knew in her rapidly beating heart just who and what this guy was.
That dark bronze fur, horrible yellow eyes, dark clue trench coat, furry claws, and that stare that had burnt so many horrible dreams into Kidd's head. "Lynx" Kidd barely whispered, too grappled by the fear that clenched her terrified little heart, she wasn't cold from the chains now; she was frozen from the fear. Lynx smirked slyly "Lucca didn't have half a good a body as you do"; the cat demon licked his sharp fangs with a sickening growl.
Such display only sickened Kidd; she turned blue in the face with utter disgust. "You despicable monster, I HATE YOU, you should be dead, dead and rotting like the soulless corpse you are" Kidd sneered. A quick response came from Lynx as he slashed his claws on the sides of Kidd's cheeks, blood dripped from the cat claws on her young cheeks as Kidd whimpered. "Who said anything about me being alive?" Lynx said cryptically, Kidd blinked.
Lynx reached down to pick up Kidd's moon dagger, her eyes widened as she saw his cat claws pass right through it, like he was thin air. "So you ARE a ghost" Kidd snapped, Lynx smirked "In a manner of speaking, no thanks to you and that sodding Serge. After Serge's body was reborn in this world, FATE corrected the flaw of having 2 Serge's in one world by eliminating me. I was like a virus, corrupting and twisting Serge's powers into my own.
After the final battle, FATE saw that I was the imposter and erased me from both time and existence. However through some mistake, my spirit was left free to roam both worlds. I am an anomaly, a rare spectral creature that was able to slip away in the shadows while you and Serge destroyed Lavos and corrected the course of history". Kidd turned her young eyes and ears away from the demon's babble, caring not for why the monster had returned.
Claws gashed into Kidd's bare belly, she cried out an agonizing scream of pain, blood spat out from her lips at the claws. "UGH IT HURTS RAHH why does it hurt, you're a ghost" Kidd screeched, "True but where my claws lie is where your answer is dear child" Lynx said. Slowly the blood soaked claws were removed from Kidd's body; she panted and winced in pain, feeling weaker and weaker. Lynx was starting to flash bright energy surges.
"What's happening to me?" Kidd wheezed as Lynx merely laughed in response, "Isn't it obvious? I am taking your own life source to become corporeal again. You see I did more then poison you that night you broke into Viper Manner, that blade of mine also held a curse. My spirit would follow you no matter where you went, I was literally embedded into your own body. That's why I can't touch or harm anything but you dear child.
And it is also why you've been having those terrible dreams of yours, the nightmares, the mental hallucinations, all caused from within your own soul. Now that your weakened and your bum boyfriend is out of the picture, I can continue sapping your worthless life dry until you are nothing but a memory. Lynx will once again rise to glory and conquer this defenseless little world, and THEN" Lynx paused as he grinned evilly "Then Serge's world is next".
Without waiting another moment's notice, Lynx plunged his cat claws into Kidd's body once more, but energy escaped instead of blood this time. Kidd screamed like a depraved banshee, her bare cream skinned legs and chained ankles violently spasmed from the energy drain. Energy sparks and flashes were surging over Lynx like ravenous spiders, he was becoming alive again. SHRANK! A powerful blast of purple and green energy shot Lynx's back.
The phantom cat cried out as green sparkles of energy electrified him, collapsing to the ground in a panting sweat. Flashes of a blade blinded Kidd before she realized her chains were sliced apart by the very same sword. Green fingerless gloves wrapped around the bottom of Kidd's legs, and the bare skin of her back, the girl was being held by someone. Those tear filled sea blue eyes were now dripping with tears of happiness, Kidd smiled wide.
The hero was none other then Patch, smiling with his one good rock blue eye and other eye covered with a black eye patch. Black slightly spiky hair glossy in the dim light of the old mine, patched up boots and purple clothing topped off the hero as he smiled to Kidd in his arms. "Sorry that I'm late, had a little problem finding the back door" Patch said. Lynx stood up and snarled with blood boiling rage, "Impossible you can't be here" Lynx said.
Patch grinned at the ghost cat's frustration, Lynx barked savagely again "My magic is second to none, so how did you break my force field? I want an answer peasant". Carefully Patch set Kidd down, the girl hopped onto her bare feet and quickly gathered her red clothing, putting some of it on. Patch then raised a brown sword case, as he removed the blade it shined vibrantly with powerful rainbow colored magic. Lynx winced at sight of the sword.
"This is the legendary Miracalcon blade, the most powerful sword of light and magic ever constructed. The Roddamus Family clan constructed this many years ago, it's been in my family for over 15 generations. Passed down from father to son and so on and so forth. The metal in the blade is made of solid magic, focused and melded both inside and outside of the sword itself. Ghost or no ghost, your magic powers are useless against it" Patch stated.
Patch quickly prepared the magical sword for battle, Lynx frowned and opened his right palm to materialize his own blade. The infamous curved reaper like sickle that Lynx terrorized so many with emerged, designed with a dark purple and black bone like structure. "I've got enough life force to deal with you rodent, now it's time to back up your talk and see who's magic is the strongest" Lynx said. "With pleasure" Patch smirked back.
Kidd watched with the utmost intrigue, her cerulean eyes brimming with tension and yet heart warming excitement for her newly found savior. Lynx and Patch screamed at each other before clashing their blades into battle. Blades crash and crackled wild sparks of powerful magical energy, Lynx raised his claws high and slammed his reaper blade down in mighty sickle flashes. Patch grunted as his sword matched Lynx's blade for blade, both warriors were well aware of how dangerous the weapons magic's were. Using a swift low kick from his leg, Patch toppled Lynx with a low kick.
The rainbow blade was raised to end the demon cat's life, Patch snarled while Lynx raised his reaper up and blocked the deadly slash. "You'll have to kick it up a notch BOY" Lynx hissed as he drop kicked Patch in the chest. Stitched clothing tore from the boot drop kick, Patch grunted as he stumbled back, Lynx leapt up and slashed his reaper across the boy's chest. Patch was stunned as he held his wound tightly, Lynx struck with a high jump kick.
The jump kick crashed Patch against the base of the cave wall, Lynx wasted no time in pinning the boy in the corner with his staff pressed over his neck. The extra added muscle pressured on by Lynx forced Patch to drop his miracle sword, the cat demon snickered "No sword, no chance to win". Patch grunted as he winced his one good eye at Lynx, "With out your precious blade, your nothing to me, a simple minded fool with a death wish.
And now with you disarmed I'll gladly grant that request" Lynx said, Patch stared hatefully at Lynx before replying "Who said I was disarmed?". Patch's brown patched up boots suddenly laced their heels around the helm of the miracle sword, the shoes lifted the sword up and plunged it forward. "GRAHH" Lynx screamed out a murderous cry of pain, the miracle blade jammed right into his chest, the magical energy literally electrocuting him.
A powerful shock blast from the sword propelled Lynx off with a powerful surge wave, Patch flipped the sword up from his heels into his hands. Charging proudly and quickly, Patch reared back the miracle sword and bashed it over Lynx's face as if it were a baseball bat. Huge sparks flew and fried the fur and flesh of Lynx's face, the magic of the sword and Lynx's ghostly visage created quite a painful reaction. Lynx skidded to the ground.
"Now feel the force of the Miracalcon blade HA" Patch said as he jammed the sword into the ground, causing a blast of magical energy to fire out. Lynx's yellow cat eyes widened as the blast was ripping towards him rather quickly, the demon warrior leapt off his boots into the air and dodged the blast. Cat claws were jutted forward as Lynx fired his "Forever Zero" attack, but Patch simply spun his sword like a propeller & deflected the dark blasts.
Once Lynx eventually came to the ground he slammed his reaper sickle down hoping to slash the boy into pieces. Patch gasped and jerked right to dodge the slash, lifting his right leg he then jammed it over the sickle. "Filthy little merchant" Lynx snarled before being punched violently in the jaw by Patch's green gloved fist. The sickle clattered to the ground as Lynx stumbled back from the hit. "I'm sending you back to hell Lynx" Patch said.
Raising the miracle rainbow empowered blade high and charging like a valiant knight to slay a hideous dragon, Patch slashed out against Lynx. Flashes of smoke and shadows blind Patch as he slashes at dead air, Lynx had disappeared. "Too slow and too late" Lynx sneered directly behind the boy. Patch turned around flashing black hair strands before being struck. Lynx grabbed his sickle and slashed a painful red scar over Patch's back.
The cat demon then grasped the hero's hair with razor sharp claws, then violently hurling him across the cave and into a cracked weakened wall. Stitched boots shiver as Patch weakly tried to stand on his feet, fingers barely able to grasp the sword's handle. Kidd watched in horror as Lynx prepared for the final blow, "LEAVE HIM ALONE" Kidd cried out as she leapt onto Lynx. The young girl wrapped her legs/arms around Lynx's body.
Kidd was strangling and riding Lynx as if he were a pack mule, the fire in her young blue and cheeks flared not only courage but love. A warm smile painted Patch's smudged face at the beautiful love she flared for him, so passionately, so strongly; it seems they were love struck. Lynx growled "Get off me you wretched leech", "That's the woman I love your talking about ARGH" Patch said. The Miracalcon blade was pointed in a charge motion.
But before Patch could back up his heart warming words, Lynx grasped black nailed digits over Kidd's shoulders and hurled her at Patch. The boy grunted as the girl crashed into him and plowed both through the cracked wall. Collapsing down into an even deeper larger black hole like version of the mines, Lynx panted with a snicker as he watched the lovers fall. That is until Lynx saw a tiny rope wrapped over one of his ankles, "Awe SHAHH".
Lynx screamed as he plummeted down into the hole with Patch and Kidd, a loud thump soon followed as all 3 combatants were trapped down below. The fractures in the rock formations had caused powerful quakes inside the mines making them unstable. Now at the bottom of this dark cave like mine shaft laid 3 beings, Lynx, Patch, and Kidd. All 3 of them unconscious for the moment, for once they wake, this dark battle will end one way or another.
