Chapter 16: A New Ally
I heard fighting all around me. Swords striking swords. Clothes ripping. Armor cracking. I could smell the familiar metallic smell of blood. Finally they appeared again, in the air a few feet. Both were out of breath, but the old man was pretty beat up. The boy's armor was cracked and the left shoulder was broken off. His shield was gone also. But the fight wasn't over yet.
The old man started to emit a dark aura of some sort from his body and I could see him grow stronger. The boy was doing the same thing, but his was a light blue and didn't seem evil at all. I watched in a deluded amazement, wondering if I was even awake or if this was but a dream. The two rushed at each other with blinding speed and there was an explosion of force. I could see them swing at each other. It was blurry and I could barely follow their speed, but I could make out some of it. The boy swung at the man, the man blocked. The man jumped back and thrust at the boy's stomach, but the boy dodged. The man punched the boy in the face, then stabbed him in the chest. The boy fell to the ground with a thud. The man laughed evilly, his strength growing more and more.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!! YE THOUGHT YE COULD DEFEAT ME?! YE STAND NO CHANCE!!! NO ONE STANDS A CHANCE!!!" I looked at the wounded boy. He was already looking at me, like he had an idea.
"Hey, is there anything I can do to help bring that nut down here?" I asked, trying to hide the pain that was now present.
"Yes, there is... Give me your hand..." He reached out with his bloody hand. I grabbed it firmly, wondering what this would do. He started to shine a bright blue again. I felt my pain ease away and my fatigue dissolve. I stood up, shining brightly. The boy had passed out, but I felt much stronger some how. It was like I was changing. My old shirt transformed to mythril chain mail, my worn-out pants into armor and my leather jacket into a light blue over jacket. My sword changed as well, growing is size. The blade was about twice as long now and attached at the end of a large revolver. On the end of the handle was a pendant at the end of a short chain. It was just like my father's necklace.
"Ye think ye can fight me now? Ye still don't have the strength!" I glared at him and grinned a little.
"Wow, for an old guy you're pretty arrogant." I could tell he was getting mad cause his aura flared up again.
"WHAT?! I'LL KILL YE!!!" He rushed at me, but he seemed much slower now. I stepped to the side and watched him rush past, slicing the tree I was under in half. He turned around and sliced again. I blocked with my new sword. We stayed locked like that, pushing to gain every inch and refusing to give up anything. He was still strong.
"Give up boy! Ye can't win!"
"I can't give up! I can't!"
"Is it about that lass? You think she really cares about you?"
"I know she does and that's none of your business!!!"
"Look at ye! You're not the same person anymore! Ye think she'd really love ye know?"
"..."
"Ye are a freak now, just like me!"
"Stop filling my head with this shit..."
"It's the truth boy!"
"NO IT'S NOT!!!" I felt my strength sky rocket as I pushed him back hard. He fell to the ground hard and looked up at me. He started to laugh.
"That anger is the only thing that's going to keep ye alive now boy."
"I know what you're doing and it won't work. Pissing me off isn't gonna make me switch sides now. It's just gonna make me wanna kill you more." with that I raised my gun blade as it started to shine a light blue. The old man looked up at me with a look of fear in his eyes. I came down hard and stabbed into his chest as he screamed. I saw the darkness evaporate from his body. Afterward he lay on the ground, lifeless. I sighed and looked myself over. I had changed a lot. I checked myself for the wounds. They weren't bleeding, but the scars were horrible. I ran a finger across my face. I felt the deep gash along my eye, nose and cheek. I went over to the boy and picked him up, taking him somewhere safer.
