Part 29

A Fight to the End

Lore wakes up in a dark cave.

Lore- (sitting up) Where am I?

Yuber- Lore, I've been waiting for you to awaken.

Lore- Yuber! Stay away from me!

Yuber walks closer to Lore.

Yuber- Haha! I don't think so. Time for your pain!

Lore- Not a chance! I'll kill you first!

Yuber- You? Kill me? Haha! (Yuber grabs Lore's neck with lightning speed)

Lore- Damn! How can you be so fast?

Yuber- You're not going anywhere, Lore! I'm not

letting go!

Lore- Just what is it you want from me?

Yuber- (smirks) Why, you my dear! (his free hand goes under her dress)

Lore- (disgusted and angry) I want nothing to do with you!

Yuber- (looks into Lore's eyes) Mmm¼ I never realized how beautiful you are when you're angry.

Lore- I've hated you from the first day we met!

Yuber- I can't resist the fire in your eyes! Your killer instinct! Do you really hate me? Heh, I don't think so.

Lore- Enough games! Why don't you just finish me off?

Yuber- I will finish you, but not in the way you think.

Lore- (puzzled) What?

Yuber- I will kiss you, then you will be mine for the taking! (squeezes Lore's neck more)

Lore- NO! Don't you dare! Keep away from me! (locks onto Yuber's eyes) *gasp!* Those eyes of yours!

Yuber- Mmmmm, Lore. What do you like about them? You like the chaos you see in my eyes?

Lore- No! You're not even human! You're a murderer!

Yuber- You're right about that! But so are you!

Lore- I'm not like you!

Yuber- You remember Caleria, Lore? Remember how badly you wanted to bring forth chaos? That was your true self! I saw the look in your eyes and I loved it!

Lore- It's wasn't my fault! It was the dark spirit inside me!

Yuber- But you willingly chose to let it possess you! You wanted it!

Lore- I had no other choice!

Yuber- You agreed to take it. Thus, you made a choice. There is always a choice my dear Lore.

Lore- Like what Yuber? You tell me!

Yuber- You could have chose death rather than let Sarah put the dark spirit. You would have made a noble sacrifice. Nobility, a notion that sickens me! But you

didn't choose death. You wanted the power!

Lore- No!

Yuber- Deep down, you wanted it. To give into your true self, the wonderful chaos within you! Just like me!

Lore- Never! That's not true! Let go! You're hurting me!

Yuber- Nope! Heh, heh!

Lore- (smirks) I still have my legs!

Yuber- (brings swords to Lore's neck) And I still have my blades, my dear!

Lore- (feels blood from her neck) If you don't release me, I'll make you regret it!

Yuber- Haha! And how will you do that?

Lore- Like this!

Lore kicks Yuber and manages to break free from his grasp.

Yuber- Damn you, Lore! You have some power in those legs of yours.

Lore-Time to pay Yuber! (Lore tries to use her magic but is overcome with pain) AHH! Damn! My magic's not working! It hurts! What the hell did you do, Yuber?

Yuber- I used my magic to seal you from using your own magic by causing you pain! You're trapped with me! Just the way I like it!

Lore- No!

Yuber grabs Lore again and hold her against the wall. Yuber slides his hand beneath Lore's dress again, moving it slowly up her leg.

Lore- Stop! I'll never be with you! Do you hear me!

Yuber- You talk like you have a choice!

Lore- I have hope.

Yuber- Hope? You mean Albert? Haha! He can't save you!

Lore- He will because he loves me. Something you can never understand.

Yuber- You speak foolishness. I don't need love! I take what I want! And what I want right now (licks Lore's neck) is you!

Lore- Damn you, Yuber!

Yuber- Soon you'll be mine!

Voice- Get your damn hands off her, Yuber!

Yuber (turns to the voice) Albert! How did you find us?

Lore- Albert!

Yuber pushes Lore hard into the wall.

Lore- Ahh!

Albert- Lore!

Yuber- (pulls out his swords) HAHA! Watch as I kill your precious Albert before your eyes!

Lore -(voice is weak) Noo!

Albert- (pulls out a sword) Now we end this!

Yuber charges at Albert swing both swords, but Albert teleports out of the way.

Yuber- How did he do that?

Albert- How'd you like that, Yuber? Now for my next trick!

Yuber gets hit from behind and gets knocked to the floor.

Yuber- Agh! Damn! What did you do!

Albert- Heh! I used a magic power to hit you with blast from behind!

Yuber- Cheater! I'll have my revenge! This is not over! (teleports away)

Lore struggles to stand on her feet.

Lore- (voice is shaky) Albert! Oh, Albert! I¼ knew you¼ would come¼ to¼ save...me...(faints)

Albert- Lore! LORE!
