Chapter 21: Puppets
*Caution! This might get a bit, well, descriptive...BTW, I think I'll do this one in omninecent view instead of first person limited...*
Xen slashed downwards on Theros's back, causing him to cry out in pain and spin around. He growled and slashed at Xen with his large claws, his tounge whipping out from the right to lash him again. Xen dodged the claws and barely dogded the sudden tounge attack. Xen cried out angrily as the tounge caught his leg, ripping it open a bit. Xen furiously unleashed his wrath upon Theros. With lightening speed, Xen dodged from shadow to shadow, striking quickly and returning to the shadows. The confused Theros twirled around after Xen each time he slashed at him. Theros called him a coward, but Xen ignored this and kept attacking. Every snicker of his double blade thundred in Daft's ears as she ran towards them, finding that she couldn't get though an invisible barrier to help Xen. Blood flew from Theros as Xen dug his blade deep in his back. Before he could pull it out, Theros's tounge flickered around to the side and lashed Xen in the side. He cried out as his blood spilled forth to the ground as Xen stumbled back in pain. Theros spun around yet again and, with the double blade lodged in his back, slashed down at the unprotected body of Xen. Daft cried out in shock and threw herself at the invisible barrier, only to thud against it like a fly on glass. Theros tore open Xen's arms with his angry claw slashes while Xen blocked. Blood spilled from them and splashed up against Theros.
Daft cried out again, her heart sinking as Theros continued his beating, using only his tounge and laughing. Xen was thrown to and fro, bleeding from several cuts. Daft beat her fists up against the barrier keeping her apart from the fight. She took out a laser gun and stood back, aiming at the wall. Fiering, the shot was absorbed by the barrier. Daft, in an emotional frustration, fiered again and again at the wall, hoping it would give way in time. Theros stopped lashing Xen and stepped back to view his enemy. He sneered and watched as Xen lay there, glaring at him from his bloody position on the ground.
"Pathetic. Give it up. There'ssssssss no way to win!"
Xen, not answering, moved his eyes towards his double blade lodged deep within the beast's back. He had to get it out, it was the only weapon that might do any damage on him. Theros laughed at his pain, seemingly not to notice, or maybe he had forgotten about, the blade in his back. Xen, in a quick move, leapt up, grabbing a fallen, twisted branch from a rotting tree nearby and swung it at Theros, catching him off gaurd. The wood hit Theros in the face, snapping it backwards and to the left, spittle and blood flying from the wound inflicted upon him by the branch. There was a crunching sound as some of the hard cartilage and small bones snapped in Theros's face as he was sent tumbling backwards. He fell back on the blade, pushing it through his body, becoming impaled upon it. The sharp metal thrust through the other side of him in a shower of blood and tissue. Theros screamed out at this pain that took his body into a flaming inferno of pain. Xen leapt away as the blood flew, getting only a few drops of the acidic blood on him. Daft fiered in a deep rage, running out of ammo and dropping the gun. Something within her brain snapped as this battle took place. She fell against the barrier and pounded on it, shouting to Xen. Her voice was absorbed as the shots had been, never reaching Xen's ears.
Theros lay still, blood seeping from his wound. Xen cautiously approached him, nudging him with his toe to see if he was alive. Theros lay perfectly stil, not breathing, a blank look on Theros's eyes. Daft wanted to believe that it was over, but she knew it was far from over. Xen reached over to pull out his blade when Theros's tounge became active and wrapped itself around Xen, leaping up and pulling the blade from his wound slowly, spilling more blood on the soiled ground below. Theros laughed and dropped the blade before chucking Xen away from him towards Daft. Xen hit the barrier and slid down it, a bloody trail sliding down behind him. The barrier absorbed the blood and seemed to glow with the color of it. Daft screamed and threw herself at the barrier, trying to get through and pull Xen in away from Theros. Theros jumped up and landed in front of Xen, walking slowly towards him. Daft screamed out his name. The wall absorbed it as well, though at this close distance, it seemed to reach Xen's ears. He turned his head to see Daft, his eyes going wide with the exception of the left eye which was beginning to swell, now purple in color. His lips moved, the words barely reaching Daft's ears.
"We Will Win."
Xen turned just as Theros's tounge shot out at him. Xen leapt away from the spot, Theros's tounge connecting to the barrier. The barrier tried to absorb it, finding that it couldn't, it rejected the tounge, sending it back at the person who threw it. Xen rolled away from Theros, rolling between his legs and leaping up to grab his blade and swing it towards Theros again. Theros dodged the blow as Xen's blade swished through the air at him. Theros shot out his tounge, almost catching Xen with it again, but missing as Xen ducked. Daft sucked in her breath, silently cheering for Xen as they fought. The blood flew, Theros becomeing terribly slashed open. Xen slashed sideways, catching the ribcage of the beast, tearing it open. Blood and Tissue spewed forth form the wound and left the insides of the moster exposed. Daft looked in seeing blackened organs, rotted bones admitst a sea of slime. Theros slashed out at Xen, catching his arm, splitting it wide open revealing the bones. Xen cried out and dodged his tounge again, slashing Theros again sending him spiraling backwards.
Daft watched hopefully as the battle turned towards Xen's advantage. Suddenly things started taking a turn for the worst. Theros sent Xen tumbling backwards into a rotting tree, snaping it in half, almost making it fall on the bleeding Xen. Theros began to slash and throw Xen to and fro like a rag doll again. Xen focused on fighting unconsiousness as he was thrown about. Daft screamed and punded upon the barrier. She watched as Xen was beaten and battered, his blood spilling in pools, bones and muscel beginning to show beneath torn flesh. His clothes became ragged with the lashing tounge. Daft threw herself against the barrier, the barrier absorbing all her hits, glowing with the energy she put into them. She sunk down, sliding downt he barrier to collapse at the bottom to watch as Theros stepped up to the partially unconcious body of Xen. daft felt the sobs come again as her heart sunk. She began to think of the past times.
Such fun she had had, trying to conquer this strange planet of hazzards. She knew that they would have to blow up the planet now. Theros was winning. It was the end of them all. Link knew what to do. Deliver a message and then blow it up. She knew this was the end. As Theros stood over Xen, smirking, Daft started to cry. The tears rolled down her cheeks and stung her skin. This was it. It was all over now...
