Mirthful Logic
I had enough of this, I kicked open the large double doors and they swung open obediently before slamming against the walls making a crack of unnatural thunder. I saw Vicious float like a ghost up beside me, I was never one for discreet entrances.
"Well, now Spike, don't you know it's rude not to knock?" She said in a neither comic nor a serious tone, an emotionless one. The two men that Vicious spoke of flanked her on either side creating a false sense of power and superiority that did not work on me or Vicious. The room was dark…and gray, how I am tiring of that color, the sky, the city the dirt the people all gray with hidden sin.
"For some reason I didn't think you'd mind." The taller of the two, both clad in identical black syndicate uniforms, apparently the same elite class as Shin, stepped forth and glared his coal black eyes at me. He thinks he can take me on? His partner looked like him, both had military buzz cuts and the same far set coal eyes. Even with my injuries, which I have forgotten about until I realized that the wet dripping down my arm to my hand was actually blood. My left shoulder no longer hurts for I am too determined to feel pain.
Back off I'll take you on
The room was really an apartment with all its interior walls taken down to have one huge room, bare except for a few beams to support the roof and a small desk and chair that Julia was sitting at. This room was twisted for a battle, a battle to the death. I felt my wounds dully ache and my breaths becoming less ragged. My green hair now sticks to my forehead like a second skin because of so much blood and perspiration.
Julia stands there like an impervious red eyed statue that looks upon others with a concrete malice. She is a hidden horror, like an angelically masked demon sucking all life out of the air surrounding her. Her golden locks, not as silken any more, Her body, not as desirable any more, her eyes, not as innocent as they once were. She is now no longer my love, she is just an obstacle in my way of what I truly want.
Peace with Faye.
"Look at the two of you. You really think you can take on both of these guys with your injuries? Vicious, I am even surprised you showed up after knowing that Spike was going to get killed here" Her eyes pierced through him, his eyes pierced back. "Do you want to help him?" She inquired darkly as he took one step and unsheathed his katana in the presenting form the tip of the blade pointed to her.
"If it will help take you down then so be it. Spike is no longer my enemy, you are. You will shed tears of scarlet." (I stole that line I know, but it is just so cool) his eyes razor blades printed of pure contempt.
"What of you Spike, are you ready to die here tonight like your foolish sword slinging comrade?" Julia's oceanic eyes pierced at my heart, but it doesn't affect me any more. She has no power over me. She is not the one I love.
"A wise woman once told me the red rose means either romance or death, it means both for me, death for you and love for Faye." I feel my mismatched eyes suddenly ablaze in hatred as I grin maliciously at the approaching adversary.
"If you stand in my way then you will fall as well." I look to her 'bodyguards' and feeling Vicious' stance change. I felt the two protégés that Vicious spoke of walk to about twenty feet from us and one pulled out a katana, like Vicious' only his was slightly shorter and thicker blade. The other pulled out a pair of sleek new pistols that rivaled my Jericho. The both sneered in confidence and malice as they rather than look at me, glared both at Vicious
"Really, teacher, you would think that you would have instructed us to have loyalty to ones teacher, but as you can see you have failed. Not only have we surpassed you in strength, but also in power as well. You are a failure Vicious, we shall kill you and your pissant friend." The shorter one with the sword, just claimed his fate by talking that way of Vicious. The taller one snickered as his venomous mouth looked at me and grinned too confidently.
"Obsidian." He said directed to the shorter one with the katana, Onyx is mine. Shorter names always do leave more space in the obituaries. "You and your brother have no honor. Honor and loyalty are things that cannot be taught, but learned." He spat simply and unemotionally, his expression so cold it could freeze the devil himself in ice.
"I will be the judge of that!" Obsidian, totally pissed off charged at Vicious with his sword drawn as Vicious parried. The game has begun.
I've rolled the dice…
I wasted no time in attacking as I fired two rounds intended for Onyx's head, missed by inches as he dove and fired at me. I whipped my body to the left and took aim and fired again, missing again, he dodged again, dammit! His eyes glowed from his crouched position, like a panther ready to strike. I will run out of ammo much faster than he will. He then leaped vertically in the air and pulled out both of his pistols and fired countless rounds at me with surprising aim. I have to call on every trick and move to get out of this one.
Like Faye's 'lucky bracelet'
I held my Jericho tightly in my left hand as I back-flipped into a back handspring and sprung off my hands so that I would have enough momentum to land on my feet. I saw myriads of bullets fly about me like wingless bats impaling themselves into the wall beside me. Now this is going to be tough. I jumped high into the air, much like a swan dive off of a diving board, shooting three rounds at Onyz with my left arm straight out right before I land on my hands. While in the handstand position for just a split second, and Onyx in a dazed position to my left, I push off only my right hand into the direction of Onyx and just barely managed to kick the pistols from his hands with a spinning drive kick.
I think I sprained my left wrist, at least it's not my shooting hand.
My gun, now one bullet left, and his across the room where Vicious was sparring with Obsidian, was at the time a tie. I know Vicious can kick his ass, he is probably just toying with him, at least I hope he can win.
"Why you bastard!" He ran at me and performed a perfect reverse right kick to my chest and I flung backwards into the wall, He is good, very good. Inwardly wince as I stand up and take a defensive stance as he flies at me, this time I block his punch and retaliate quickly with a few right and left hooks, which he dodged or blocked. I am now pissed, like the water embodied demon that I am I quickly side step and swiftly and deftly uppercut him and slip down like falling water into a crouch and try to pull his legs out from under him, but he recovers in time and dodges the blow as I summersault away and stand back up facing him.
"You are tired aren't you? Well I will end your pain soon enough." Onyx hissed as He readied to kick me in my stomach, I sprung up and punched him in the face, but he wasn't nearly as fazed as I hoped he would be. He just took a step back and we started again.
This was getting nowhere, seriously, I have one bullet actually left and that is for Julia, I cant waste it on this Shithead. This is just like facing your twin, I surprisingly am making no progress. Wait…his pistols… DAMN I forgot!
When I went to grab this pistol, he just did the opposite and grabs the other one I kicked away. He picks up the gun and sneers, spitting blood on the floor. I thin line of blood drips down my lips to my chin where it trickles to the floor. My left wrist is swelling up and my jaw hurts from a punch he barely landed earlier. My left shoulder, the one Shin wounded, is beginning to intensify, I cant hold out much longer, his wounds are just scratches compared to my gunshot wounds.
Bump. I feel someone come in contact with my back, I feel foolish for letting that happen but I know it is just Vicious, I see his tattered black cape flow around my legs, and his back, wet with fresh blood stain my shirt.
"Ready?" Vicious hair spins like a cloak of dimmed stars
"Yeah." I love this trick, it's been a while since I have done this.
We then take a clockwise side-step and I now face Obsidian with fire in his eyes. He did not count on us switching opponents, aw well his loss.
"Sayonara." I take out my gun and fire three rounds at Obsidian who flipped backwards in pain and landed with a wet, sickening thud against the hard wood surface. I turn to see Vicious finish off Onyx with an clean impale, he wipes his katana off onto his cloak and sheathes it. I toss away Onyx's pistol and make sure my Jericho has it's one bullet.
"Will you hurry up?" I snicker, as he looks at me, annoyed, but I couldn't help but notice the smallest corner of his mouth upturn the slightest bit. I whip around to see Julia, gone, I know she is still in the building, but where I searched with my eyes until Vicious voice, lighter for some reason, but through the frustrated silence.
"She is on the roof Spike." He took off running, although not gracefully and light like usual, but limping slightly, Obsidian must have injured him in the leg as I saw new blood soak through his pantleg. We knew our way around the place, I wonder why, and we soon found the stairway to the roof, it is a long narrow passage that conveniently skips the fifth floor and goes straight to the roof, this is so because there is no fire escape on the roof and they need another means of escape.
"So Vicious, why did you train those guys anyway?" I felt like bothering him, its kinda fun actually. Even though I should be focused and things like that, I mean I am, it's just who could resist an opportunity to rub a mistake in Vicious' face?
"I was bored." I almost burst out laughing, that does not seem like something for Vicious to do, 'because I was bored!' was a lunatic! I smirked at him and he rolled his eyes and clenched his teeth, he knew I was playing with him and it pissed him off to know he made the mistake, not me.
We finally neared the door to the roof, I didn't run full speed because Vicious couldn't, and well, I kinda felt obligated to not sprint my heart out. This time it was Vicious to take out the door with a palm thrust, and I mean take out the door, blown off of its hinges.
"Vicious…Spike… we are all here." Julia stood at the far end of the building. The building had no wall on its perimeter so could just walk off the building, or fall off.
"Julia." I spit, My heart burns with a fiery passion, she could have killed Faye with that hitman, that burns me inside like nothing other. Whenever I picture happiness, I picture faye, call me corny but its true. Nothing would make me happier if Faye was here right now in my arms, but she isn't and it hurts. I am here with Julia instead.
"Sorry, but there isn't enough room on this roof for three, so say sayonara to your buddy." She takes out her gun, a 30mm glock, how dare she use Faye's gun, and fires it twice. Both bullets wiz by my ear like hornets and they connect with Vicious' torso and he sprawls backwards like a falling bird off the edge of the building. I felt time freeze, for some reason, even though Vicious killed Mao, shot down Gren, and Lin is dead, pretty much because of him; I didn't want him to die. Scenes from my youth and life with him flashed through my eyes as though I was watching some demented home movie. I whip around to try to catch something as he plummets off the building to the gray cityscape below.
You did surprise me…
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
WOW! Talk about an evil cliffie. Sorry I have to take this time to do ANs (people throw tomatoes)
I used a trapt lyric…so sorry
Sorry if Vicious was a little OC, I just felt like adding humor.
1) Sorry that last chapter had a very nasty scene in it where Vicious decapitated some people, that chapter should have had a warning for R rated violence, I am so sorry, I was a little disoriented and forgot all about it, !sorry younger readers!***^^***;;;
2) V/F fic might be a little late coming out, I typed the first chappie and realized it was trash so I ditched it. (looks around…no one cares…wasted space typing.)
3) I will be finishing this fic, sorry for confusion, issues at home are not keeping me from updating…well updating on time, kinda, sorta yes, but not updating all together. =*^^*= and I am sorry this is like the third fighting chappie and I really didn't mean it to be this way, it just kinda happened so if you guys hate me for too much fighting, well you're in luck because that was the last one pretty much I think…
4) Oh and one last thing…I don't know the name of this city so I am making one up. If there is an actual name to the city where the whole Julia/ rose and cathedral thing went on, gomen, but that is just too bad.
Well that is the end of my pointless notes if you red this far you get a gold star and a new Lotus Elise…hehe I wish!
