Jeremy had been scaling the perimeter of the tower until he found a small window that he presumed to be on the other side of the steel door. For the past while he had been trying to kick the window in. So far no such luck, and it was beginning to rain hard.
"C'mon you bitch, open up" The broken arm was also starting to hurt like the liked named bitch as well.
"Come ON. I can't wait all day to get her" Under the magic words, the last kick from Colt had broken the lock sealing the window together, opening inwards into the dark hallway. Jeremy jumped inside and looked down the dark expanse that called itself a corridor. Memory on this place was generally foggy, as Colt didn't really go up the tower often. Still, if he remembered, there was only one real hallway that leads to anywhere. Jeremy looked up a dark staircase in silent thought before quickly pacing up the passage and to Dizzy.
A quick kick to the closed door at the end of the passage blew it open and revealed the open balcony and Dizzy on the far end of the structure. Jeremy gave a wide grin despite the fact he felt like shit kicked around.
"Ah, Dizzy! Judgment day is at hand!" Jeremy cheerfully cried out and began to walk out onto the balcony towards the Gear with an open arm, while she backed away from the greeting.
Her eyes, for a split second, looked at something behind Colt's shoulders before looking back at the man himself. A split second was enough to tell Colt.
INCOMING FROM BEHIND! Jeremy felt an attack charging towards his back. He swiveled around to meet a metal bar, which he caught with his free arm. April was wide-eyed for a second trying to figure out how her trap had failed.
Must've gotten the bar from the construction shit in the corner Colt decided before speaking, "Come on, I knew something was fucked up when I saw only one of you" Psychic energy then flowed down the bar and wrapped around April's wrists in a tight bind before completely materializing into a purple tentacle like anomaly, where it picked the Pirate off the ground and smashed her into wall of the tower behind her. Gear girl's cry was heard
"April!"
Jeremy snorted while calling the psychic appendage back to Colt's wrist, with April still stuck to one end, "The bitch needs to be taught some manners about sneak attacking" When April came back into range of Jeremy he smashed his foot into the gut of the pirate, making her slide back across the floor. The process went on for a little while.
"Why are you doing this!?"
"Because I want you to fight me…"
"What!?"
"Look at me!" Jeremy stretched out his arms, and upon a command, several purple roiling, twisting, elements crawled all over his body, as if it were a flame.
"This…is part of my soul that I never wanted, everyday I feel it heavy on my heart, everyday it shows my the truth that my life is nothing more that a nightmare that I will never wake up from…till today…" Colt let the coils on his body disappear, save the one on his wrist, which still had Dizzy's friend attached to
"What do you mean?"
Jeremy pointed at Dizzy with a passion. "You are a blade that is here today to end my suffering!"
"I don't understand…"
"Then understand this…" Jeremy pulled the metal bar from April's weak grasp to throw it towards the tower wall. One end smashed into the structure and let the rest of the tube stick out. Jeremy dragged April towards the wall, where he flicked his wrist and let the purple rope around her wrist wrap itself around her neck. He then swung his arm towards the bar above them, where the purple rope looped itself around. Jeremy pulled down on his end, and caused April to be lifted up her neck to a distance above the floor, gagging and coughing. Jeremy continued.
"Your friend is going to die by choking to death on my rope, unless you hit me hard enough" Colt touched his hand to his back, where the psychic appendage re-connected to the new location.
Dizzy stared with sad, determined eyes, "You leave me no choice now…"
A flash of white and Dizzy was revealed in the leather outfit again, with glowing band of energy circling by her feet, "I'm sorry I have to hurt you…"
"Please, being sorry only gets you killed in the real world"
Both charged at each other.
Jeremy started first, summoning up a wrist blade to his un-broken arm. Bending the arm against his body, Jeremy launched his whole weight into Dizzy's direction. Dizzy flew to one side of the attack before crossing her arms. The white wing changed shape into a woman. This concept was new to Jeremy.
"What the fu-" The woman snapped both her wrists downwards towards the ground underneath Jeremy, he didn't need to guess what was about to happen. He leapt backwards just in time to see a large piece of ice explode out of the ground, leaving a gaping hole after the attack.
Colt smirked, "Nice trick, I have that too"
Jeremy then snapped his fingers at the ground underneath his own opponent. Dizzy gasped and managed to leap into the air high enough to avoid the blade that threatened to slice into her from below. While she floated backwards, Colt chased after her from the ground until he flung out his hand, causing his fingers to transform and fly out into miniature harpoons. Two scored a hit, one ripped through Dizzy's shoulder and another slashing her exposed thigh. As she landed, Dizzy saw Jeremy charge towards her with fingers as purple talons this time. Dizzy again crossed her arms, causing the woman this time to gracefully release an orb towards the sky, where one side released a blade and flew towards Jeremy. Colt dodged only in time enough to let the electrified weapon strike across his side, turning more of his clothing into a sick black color. Staggering, the pain made Colt lose concentration and the element holding April to Jeremy dissipated.
"April!" Dizzy flew over Colt's head to catch April as she was about to hit the concrete floor. Dizzy held her friend across the back while she grabbed new air desperately.
"Are you alright?" Dizzy asked.
"Yeah… I live…" Was the managed reply between hoarse gasps. Both then heard a cry as Colt charged forward with a wrist blade ready to swing downwards. Dizzy narrowed her eyes in a silent command before the black wing transformed into a green, hooded figure. It drew an arm back in a motion that looked like it was shooting a bow. The motion released a spinning staff that released a blue flame on either end, creating a wheel of burning energy that lifted itself. The attack smashed head on into Jeremy with such a force that it momentarily lifted Colt up into the air before dropping him back to the floor.
"We have to get out of here" April managed to urge her companion before both started to the open entrance. A hand grabbed Dizzy by the wing, though, and pulled her back and made her face Colt again, one side of his face bleeding heavily. Jeremy just glared before smashing Dizzy's face to one side with a strong backhand.
"Dizzy!" Came the rather helpless cry of April.
"Just go!" Was all Dizzy could say before her head snapped to one side from left hook.
"But…"
"Go get help, April!"
A face clearly showing the pain of leaving a friend behind showed, before April disappeared into the dark of the tower.
"Okay bitch, nobody else is here. Just you, me and that shit on you back you call your bodyguards", Jeremy let a small purple rod, for clubbing purposes, appear in his hand, "Time to kung fu your ass"
Jeremy closed in on Dizzy before the hooded figure appeared again with a large battle-ax. Jeremy smashed the purple rod into one side of the figure's head, knocking it to one side long enough for Jeremy to smash the club downwards into Dizzy's shoulder. Her eyes for a second glazed over from the pain before stumbling for a second. Jeremy continued the opportunity to grab her by the bra-thing to smash her head into his, then striking her across the jaw with the pruple rod in an upwards strike. Dizzy continued to stumble away before dropping to the floor.
What the fuck? "Tremendous combat abilities my ass, you don't even know how to throw a punch!" Jeremy sneered at Dizzy before marching up to kick her. Dizzy herself was just about to get up when she suddenly fell down again, the hooded figure appearing to slam down his fist to the earth, while using his other to pull on Dizzy's tail, causing her fall. The figure's fist smashed into the ground with enough force that the shockwave passed outwards and knocked Jeremy of his feet, giving Dizzy the chance to recover and watch Jeremy rise up.
How can I beat him? As much as she didn't like the option, Necro appeared to be Dizzy's only way in keeping up with Colt. With a finality, she let her eyes glaze over and clutched her head while a spiritual form of the hooded archer cover her momentarily before revealing her body again in a cold, black aura surrounding her.
"Uh-oh" Jeremy hesitantly backed away. The new Dizzy flung out her arms and created a series of fiery explosions that traveled across the ground towards Colt.
"Holy mother fuckin…" Jeremy narrowly leaped above the explosions, before he saw Necro-Dizzy above him smashing her fist into face, making him fall back to the earth, just as the earth under him exploded. Colt was carried across the arena until he and the chain of explosions impacted into the battered tower wall, and past it, leaving a gaping hole in the structure. A twitching hand soon appeared out of the dust to hoist a very battered Jeremy.
"Holy shit shit shit shit shit shit….." How the fuck did she suddenly know how to fight like that?. With a war cry, Jeremy loosed another wrist blade, where he smashed the weapon into the neck of Nerco-Dizzy.
"Holy shit…" With the force Jeremy used, the blade should have cleaved her head straight off her body. Instead, it was merely against her neck, with a minute amount of blood dribbling out of the wound. A dark grin came from Dizzy's face before she smashed her fist into Colt's face again, this time with a rather audible 'crack' being emitted as well. Colt stumbled away for a few seconds while feeling his nose, which was bent at an odd angle. A hard push in the opposite direction brought the bleeding nose into correct position, noted out by second 'crack' and a cry of pain. Dizzy then swung around her arm, the black wing covering the arm until it formed an immense blade that gave off a golden energy. Seeing it was coming towards himself at a fast rate, Jeremy countered with a powerful technique of his own. With a grand wave of his un-broken arm, his back released three large whip blades that flew towards the Gear, each tip of the blade was covered in a sort of psychic flame. The two attacks collided, releasing an explosion of energy that blew Colt away like a feather.
This is sucking to a degree like no other… Jeremy contemplated while lying on the ground, seeing what didn't hurt on his body, God, she's like on steroids or something Colt forced himself back up to something that could be called standing.
"Okay, bitch. You had your fun with your steroids, but time to show you that you aren't the only one who can power up…" With those words said, and a great amount of determination, he released as much psychic energy as he could, right into his body. He felt his body dematerialize into the same energy as all his weapons were constructed of, and yelled out the words he always felt best fit when he transformed.
"PSYCHO INSTALL!"
Jeremy then disappeared into the form of a beast. The beast looked something like a purple fog, molded into figure of a man. Trapped within the confines of the shape, the fog roiled angrily, as if a storm lived inside. Completing the features were two even darker purple orbs that that seemingly floated with in the head and it served as something relatable to eyes. It's human broken arm seemed momentarily mended to normal condition, as noticed by Jeremy when he tested out his new arms momentarily.
Necro-Dizzy uncharacteristically raised an eyebrow at the new form before flying towards Colt, nails on one of her hands lengthening outwards to form a claw. As she approached the creature, it seemingly disappeared from vision, which was before something ripped across her back. The attack forced to stagger forward to prevent her from falling. Dizzy then turned around to meet the creature just as started rising from a pool of purple, before completely reforming into the shape of a man. Dizzy punched Colt hard in the face, making twist to one side. Jeremy shook his head for a few seconds to clear some cobwebs before turning and returning the attack at Dizzy, who had her head snap in a direction as well.
Colt gave of a war cry like sound before smashing his shoulder into Dizzy's gut and wrapping his arm around her, with intent of carrying her into the wall. Dizzy, with a rather strange calmness let her finger nails elongate again before she stabbed her entire hand into Colt's back. The attack seemingly went through his entire body, which felt like dough or putty. Jeremy let out gasp of shock and let go of Dizzy, while he let his upper body sag over his legs. Necro-Dizzy cautiously removed her fingers from the creatures back. Colt then sprung to life and suddenly trapped Dizzy helplessly in a series of fisticuffs that rained wherever Colt could see.
A pain then suddenly gripped the Gear's hear as she was in the middle of defending. She gasped at the pain and the realization of what was happening. This was as far as Necro could go in commanding her body without injuring her, therefore, he had to release Dizzy back into control while fighting this… thing.
"Not now…" was one of her pained gasps before Jeremy swung a kick into her side, forcing her a distance away from him. Dizzy was out of breath, under-skilled, and out of energy to keep fighting at the same rate Colt was demanding from her. Jeremy charged towards the slightly helpless Gear, while the white wing turned into a from of a woman again. Colt sidestepped past the spear of ice that exploded out of the ground, and ducked just enough the feel the bladed orb rip through his back and crash into the ground behind him, and kept charging regardless. Dizzy, in a final defense ducked down low and let the hooded figure emerge to swing down on Colt with a large ax. Colt just rushed past it and tackled into Dizzy, knocking both of them to the ground.
"Graaagh!" the beast clutched it heart in the same pain Dizzy earlier had. Its time was up, any longer and he'll start dying. The storm burned away, off Colt's body to reveal a man once more, albeit slightly more beat up than Dizzy last saw him. Jeremy then got up and stood up his opponent likewise. Holding onto the fabric on Dizzy's shoulder, Jeremy backhanded Dizzy, before the hooded figure suddenly appeared and grabbed Colt by the head. The next thing he could feel was several object ripping into his flesh on multiple areas of his body. The figure then unceremoniously dropped Jeremy to the ground.
"I'm…. sorry…."
Jeremy raised his head to glare at Dizzy, "Sorry? Saying that only gets you killed, and this fight isn't over either…" Colt made a stabbing motion into the ground beside, which made a smaller whip blade fly out of the ground again, and this time flew through Dizzy's arm. From shock of pain, her eyes widened.
The balcony they were on began to groan from stress. The combat had damaged the Balconey, and also roof they were on. And could no longer hold the mere weight of two people.
"Oh, shit"
The balcony caved in and both fell into the depths of the room underneath.
*************************
"Ow"
Jeremy tested out the word. Him saying 'ow' meant he's was still alive. The fact that rain was falling on his face, meant it hasn't been to long after the fight. Where the fuck he was, was completely unknown to him. Oh yeah, his arm's still broken. Shit.
Colt looked around him. He was in a large chamber with stain glass windows taking up the walls around him. Lots of boxes, tarps and the shit like that were all around him. Lots of roof bits were all over the floor as well. Jeremy himself was lying on a large scaffold that was in the room for no apparent reason.
Where's Dizzy?
Jeremy looked around his vantage point to see a figure with wings nearby. Jeremy got up from his position and after a long while, managed to climb of the scaffold. Jeremy limped over to the fallen figure and inspected the situation.
The Gear was breathing shallowly and unconcious, both here legs were under piece of concrete, meaning she couldn't get up. Her white wing was trapped under a heavy box, mostly likely broken. She was not up for fighting.
Jeremy won.
I won… I won? Jeremy glared down at Dizzy before growling in anger.
"I won…."
************************
Something hard slapped Dizzy's face, knocking her back to the pain of real life. Everything hurt, she couldn't even open her eyes.
"Wake up bitch"
Dizzy tried moving her arms, but they were stuck under something. She opened her eyes to see the constriction, only to see Jeremy glaring down on her. He was sitting on her, pinning her arms with his knees.
"Well I'll be frank, you were the most troublesome person I ever had. Hell, even finding you was dangerous, but…", Jeremy's fingers on his left hand lengthened out into talons, "You still lost, and I promised to kill and stuff" He then reeled back his weapon, aiming for Dizzy's head. The realization quickly sunk in and for some vain reason, Dizzy suddenly started jerking her body as best she could in attempt to lose her self from her bondage, despite the maddening pain.
"Don't fight….I'll make it short…."
Dizzy was practically sobbing now.
"Please…..don't….."
"Why?"
"Not now…. My friends…."
Colt snorted, "Yeah, I had friends too, 'cept they're all dead now after trying to back stab me"
"Please…..Please……"
"Oh shut up"
Jeremy thrust his talons towards Dizzy's teary, fear gripped eyes.
