Chaoter 16- Just Breathing
They stepped through the doorway at the bottom of the spring, Logan lead with Vahn behind him and everyone else behind Vahn, "This isn't to be taken lightly, she's obviously quite smart and strong if she could have come up with that kind of trap." Vahn explained, "Vahn, how is it you always manage to fight the female sages?" Elly asked, Vahn stumbled, Logan, Cloud and Dale burst out laughing, "Uhhhh..." Vahn said blankly, "Hahaha, he just has that kind of luck." Cloud said still laughing, "Whatever, don't we have a sage to take care of?" Vahn said as he conitued to walk down the wet hallway.
Vahn was now at the front of the line, and Elly at the back, Dale laughed when he noticed this, "What's so funny?" Vahn said turning to Dale, Dale put his hand over his mouth, but continued to laugh, Logan hit him in the back of the head. "Stop it, do you want to tell Marine we're sitting right here?" Logan asked while he was still walking, he ran into Vahn, "Vahn whyd u stop?" Logan asked "Look, a waterfall. Dead end." Vahn replied, "What? But this was a one way path...." Snow said, then turned around and began to walk away, Logan, Cloud, Elly and Vahn followed, but Dale walked up to the water fall, he tilted his head to look at the waterfall from the side....He noticed a girl sitting on some rocks, she was wearing a long sky blue robe, her hair was dark blue tied up at the back, and she appeared very short. Dale ran to catch the others, he grabbed Logan by the arm, and pointed at the waterfall, then shook his head, Logan had babysat Dale for 11 years, he knew what that meant. "Everyone, quietly, Marine's through the waterfall." Logan whispered as he took out his Demolition comet and advanced forward.
Marine undid her hair and let if flow down, she was almost as beautiful as Courteon, but she had a sinister look on her face, she picked up a staff that lay behind her, and on the top, lay a dark blue orb. Marine pointed the staff at the waterfall, the water split revealing the team of hunters, "Hmph, about time you got here, I was begining to think you would have drowned." Marine said smirkly, "I'm dissapointed, but happy, now I get the pleasure of destroying you myslef." Marine said as she readied her staff.
Logan charged forward and slashed at the rocks Marine was standing on, he easily tore through them, he looked back but nothing was there, he looked forward this time, to be hit with a stream of water, knocking him back into Snow and Cloud. Vahn and Elly pulled out their guns, they both began firing voleys of shot on Marine. Marine jumped up and twirled skillfully dodgeing al the shots, she landed in front of Vahn, she swung her staff hitting Vahn in the side of his face, knocking him into a wall, then she turned to Elly, she summoned another stream of water and hurled it at Elly, shooting her on top of Vahn, then she turned to Dale, "You're the only one left? Pity. I thought the one who weilds the Vengeance blade would be here, I wanted to do away with that menace." Marine said, and pointed her staff at Dale, a stream of water came up from the ground, "Goodbye." Marine shot the stream at Dale, hitting him exactly.
"These are the ones who defeated the other sages? They were hardky a challenge." Marine said, "The boy is not down Marine, turn and face your opponent." A voice said, Marine turned to see Dale standing holding the Vengeance staff in front of him, "Ha, you thought I would be a pushover didn't you?" Dale said smirkly, "I don't know how you got that staff but it won't help you." Marine said as she readied her staff, "Bring it on" Dale said, with his constant smile now wiped off his face.
Marine made the first move, dashing at Dale, she brought her staff beside her, it surrounded itslef with a water ball, she swund at Dale, he jumped backwards dodging the attack, he charged forward, swining the Vengeance Staff skilfully at Marine, Marine blocked with her staff as fast as she could, but Dale didn't stop, swing after swing. Dale saw an opening, when Marine blocks she can only block one side! He thought, he swung with one side of his Vengeance staff, Marine blocked, perfect, he swung with the other side, Marine saw the spike of the Vengeance staff coming at her, she tried to block, big mistake, Dale had more momentum then she did, he sent the staff flying into a wall dislodging the orb in the top and shattering it, then he swung the other side hitting her into the opposite wall.
Marine got up, and summoned to swords made from water, she advanced on Dale, Dale swiped at the sword, it went right through, Marine slashed at Dale, hitting him to the left, "I don't get it, if I can't attack her weapons, why can they attack me?" Dale thought, he swung the staff at Marine instead of the swords, Marine blocked with her swords, and the Vengeance staff was blocked, Dale was now confused, Marine smiled, and began to attack him.
At this point Logan, Cloud and Snow got up, they were trying to shake off the double vision the hard blow gave them, Cloud shook his head then looked up at where a lot of noise was comig from, his hazy vision came into focus, he saw Dale fighting Marine, and they were getting closer, he rolled out of the way, Marine shot another stream of water, Dale jumped to the left, dodgeing the stream, but it hit Logan and Snow sending them back into the hallway, and unconcious again. "This battles' going nowhere, they're to evenly matched." Cloud thought to himself, then he looked beside him, there was his chainsawd laying beside him, he picked it up and ran up to help Dale.
"Dale!" Cloud yelled as he swung his chainsawd at Marine, she jumped up in the air to dodge, "Dale, I'll distract her, you get ready to use the staff." Cloud whispered to Dale, Dale nodded. Cloud advanced on Marine, slicing wildly, Marine could hardly keep up if she hadn't have had two swords, Cloud brought his chainsawd over his head and slashed down, Marine dodged and went behind him, she rose her sword above her head, "Say goodbye!" Marine yelled, "Goodbye!" Dale yelled from behind her, "Vengeance spike!" Dale yelled as he thrust the Vengeance Staff forward, the spike extended, Marine turned as fast as she could only to be skewered by Dale's Venegance spike, "Uhhh...Forgive me Rannu..." Marine said as she turned into dust.
They stepped through the doorway at the bottom of the spring, Logan lead with Vahn behind him and everyone else behind Vahn, "This isn't to be taken lightly, she's obviously quite smart and strong if she could have come up with that kind of trap."
