AN:To those that played CC should remember this scene(except for the ghosts). And no, Lynx and Serge will not switch at the end. People who played should know these two ghosts though...
The doors open with a noise. The other occupants rushed out. The last occupant lingered, however.
"Oi, Serge! Yer alright, laddie?" Fargo asked.
"You've been acting weird lately. You been a lot more stern lately that it gives me a run for my money." Norris added.
"Deja Vu". Serge replied.
Fargo took a step forward, "It's to......"
-------------------------------------------
"...late to go back Kidd!" Luccia yelled.
"Luccia is in trouble, we must hurry!" Glenn added. "Every second could be her last!"
Kidd nodded, ran off the elevator and stood in between Glenn and Lucca.
"Hold on, we're on our way! Lucca shouted. The group ran forward without hesitation.
-------------------------------------------
Serge's duel....
"What's this?" Norris was standing with the others on a circular pathway.
"Teleporter?" Serge asked. He retained a few memories from the dream, one told him it can be used to go up, but it wasn't....
Leave....Leave at once..
Everyone looked around. They saw nothing.
Where are you? I still need you....
"Huh?" Serge was as dumbstruck as the others.
I will find her! None of you can stop me!
I blue light appeared in front of the group.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
"We must. If the sword's up there, YOU WON'T STOP ME!" Serge yelled, knowing what would happen if the sword went lose in a city. 'All those people will die unless we stop it! If it's like what Fargo said, it will kill men, women, and children...'
Ah, you believe what you want! I will not let you pass! It doesn't matter if you protect them or your cat! As long as I search for her, none shall pass!
"I WILL NOT LET THE SWORD HARM THE INNOCENT!" Serge's battle crystals began to glow.
Prove the strength of your cause! If one's cause is stronger than another or more, the cause will be undefeatable. NOW COME AT ME!!!
Fargo and Norris began to take their positions
"No, this fight is mine!" Serge stared at them with deep determination.
"B-But!"Fargo was about to plead to let them help him, but Norris put his hand on the pirate's shoulder. "It's Hard to argue at this point. Serge, don't let us down." Both walked back to the walk way near the door. Serge nodded as the flash of light signaled the battle.
The light slowly lowered to the floor, the a bright light appeared. When it disappeared the light took human shape and began to swing a pole of the same color around. A of a sudden the ghost took a step forward and brought his stick to his side, similar to a spear or sword. The stick kept flickering in and out, it was hard to figure out what it was supposed to be. Serge took his position, which seemed similar to his old one. He faced the opponent standing sideways, with his left shoulder facing forward. The only difference was that he held his swallow, instead of two swords, in his right hand to increase the power when he swung it with both hands.
"Here I go!" Serge yelled. He rush forward and put his momentum into a medium stab. After the first one hit, he turned around and shoved the other one in for another. He finished this he spun and put all of his power into a powerful swing. After that he jumped back to avoid counter attack.
Good.... It's been a while since I had a challenge. But first let me show you how it's done!
The ghost rush forward and did the first two attacks Serge did, down to the last bit. Instead of the final stroke though. He hit Serge with the blunt side of his weapon, sending him soaring out of the Barrier and on to a nearby walkway.
'H-He has a swallow too?'
Done yet? Haha... how could you believe you could win, I practiced with this weapon before your grandfather was born....
"Serge!" Norris yelled. It was one of the rare moments that he yelled.
Shut up!
The ghost shot a bright sphere at Serge's allies.'NO!' Fortunately Norris and Fargo jumped to the side at the last second
Ahh.. missed, must be getting rusty
The ghost floated over to Serge. He held hi weapon over his head.
Let me put you out of your misery
'Only once chance' Serge thought as he cleared his mind....
---------------------------------------------
Kidd's Duel...
Kidd and the others were on the the same platform when another light shown. This one was red though.
So....cold.....where...are..you....
All three stepped back. The light shown brighter.
I...told ya...I'll find ya....mate...but where are you?
"What the!?" Lucca cried as the backed away slowly.
So...cold...
"The light isn't getting brighter! It's getting closer!" Kidd yelled. As soon as she said it, a flame erupted, trapping her on the platform and separating her from the others.
Yer first....
The ghost took human form and drew what looked like a dagger and rushed forward. Kidd barely got her dagger out in defense. The ghost then kept attacking like no tomorrow. But try as she might, Kidd was slowing down and losing ground. The ghost all of a sudden swung downward and broke her knife in two.
Heh..heh...yer never used one, right? I'll make it quick and painless!
