Cha-ching! 90 minute delay! Okay it was really hard to pick between writing the next chapter of 'Just another pointless fanfic' or 'Soul Calibur II – The Search for The Soul Edge'. Well as you can see, I picked Soul Calibur! Julia and Heather are owned by me 'cause Julia is my slave. The other character names are probably owned by Namco.
Chapter 4: All or nothing
It is the day before the final fight for the Soul Edge. Two people have worked hard to make their way to this battle. After this one, only one person stands in their way.
Both approach the building, although from different sides. To them, it's nothing different from what they've seen throughout their whole journey.
To us, it looks similar to an ancient Egyptian tomb. The walls are covered with great art of people, sphinxes, and pyramids. The room looks like a bottomless pit with only a small circular platform in the center.
The first and one of the only rules of the fight is if you can make it to the center ring, you can fight. About a foot all the way around the edge is made of stone; the center of it, sand. It may look normal to the human eye, but throw something into the ring and quickly you will learn your mistake. The ring they are fighting in is a ring of quick sand. It's only deep enough to pull them in to about their knees, though. Just enough to slow them down a bit.
They both enter the building, Heather stopping in the doorway to look around, Julia walking straight forward and almost falling into the nothingness.
Julia: Ah!!!! **Does a flip, landing at the stone edge of the center ring**
Heather: **hearing the scream, but not knowing who it is** You foolish girl. After all this travel you still haven't learned to stop and take in your surroundings? This is going to be an easy match…
Heather simply jumps across the huge pit as if it was no more than a couple of inches wide. Heather looks over her opponent, taking the time to learn all she can about her next victim while she still can. Julia simply looks at Heathers awesome clothes.
Again, they look normal to each other but to us they look like people out of a game. Heather was dressed in a short, but elegant dress. Of course she wore shorts too as there were many fights with guys along the way. She had her hair pulled back in a neat bun so not to get in her way or make it easy for cheap shots such as pulling her hair. Her weapon of choice – the Rapier Sword known as Flambert.
Julia on the other hand was dressed in shorts and a weird top that showed her stomach. Her hair was put back in too pigtails and she wore a gold necklace around her neck that looked as if it would make it harder to fight. In her hands she held her weapon of choice – her Elbow Blades known as Loka Luha & Syi Salika.
Heather, being the great fighter she is, quickly took in everything she could see about Julia. Julia watched the ceiling.
Julia: I knew I should have stayed home and watched Teletubbies… Oh wait… We didn't have TVs in my home town…
Heather: **cocks her head to the side and blinks some** Teletubbies… Wait a minute… Julia?
Julia: What huh? Oh yup that's me! How'd you know my name?
Heather: Julia it's me, Heather.
Julia: Whoa! Awesome! I didn't know you were fighting for the Soul Edge!
Heather: And I didn't know you could fight.
Julia: Yeah… Hey wait a minute!!
Heather: Well who cares! Are we going to fight or not? **puts one arm behind her back, sticking out her sword in front of her ß her kind of fighting stance**
Julia: Yeah… But if I'm fighting you then I'm not going to use these stupid things!
With that Julia throws her elbow blades into the center of the ring. She does another flip back to the doorway and runs outside. While out there, she opens up the pack she left on the ground, pulling out what looks like a belt with a sword strapped to the front, some wrist bands with blades on them, and some ankle bands with blades on them. She runs back in, flipping once again to the center ring. After putting all the things on (By the way, the belt looking thing she put on her head…), she smiles to Heather.
Julia: Now I'm ready!
Heather: That's not fair! You can't do that!
Julia: And why not?
Heather: Because you are suppose to be an embodiment of Talim and Talim fights with elbow blades! You can't just go and change the game like that! Those weapons aren't even real!
Julia: I don't care! I made them so I can use them! This is an all or nothing fight and I don't want to lose because my weapon is crap!
Heather: **looks to her sword, tossing it over her shoulder and into the pit** Screw this then.
Heather runs to the center and sweeps her hand down into the quicksand. She finds the elbow blades with no problem, picking them up and smirking to Julia. She continues her smirk as she walks backwards to the stone edge again.
Heather: I like these better anyways…
Julia: Crap!!!
So, they prepare for the fight ahead of them. Who will win? Only I know!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Actually I don't… Haven't gotten that far yet. Oh well.
