Chapter 9: Hidden strength
Location: Spirit World
In the main hall of the Temple of Soul Guardians, the 2 greatest sorcerers faced each other. Fighting for good, Master Electrifying, Universal Guardian. Fighting for evil, Lord Sicron, Ruler of darkness and fire. The two sorcerers rushed at each other, and their swords clashed. They fought like none other. As the force of their staffs hit each other, a gust of wind nearly knocked Aileta, Ollrack, Erick, and Tiffany off their feet. Quicker than light could follow, they swung and lurched at each other. As they banged their weapons it almost seemed as it trembled the gods themselves. At one point they stopped, staffs still together, and stared at each other. "YOU ARE BEGINNIG TO DISAPOINT ME ELECTRIFYING." Sicron hissed. "YOU HAVE BECOME WEAKER SINCE THE LAST TIME WE FOUGHT LIKE THIS. SADLY FOR YOU…I HAVE ONLY GROWN STRONGER."
"Do not believe you have obtained victory until your enemy has fallen." They began throwing their weight around again. Sparks were flying as the 2 titans clashed. During the fight, Erick had to keep a shadow shield up to keep everyone from getting thrown out of the temple from the force the warriors exerted (A/N: Erick is like Raven from Teen Titans, to the zillionth degree, except he's a guy). Sicron slowly began to gain the upper hand, eventually throwing Electrifying against one of the pillars.
"FACE IT ELECTRIFYING, YOU HAVE LOST YOUR TRUE EDGE IN FIGHTING. I AM NOW THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR." But Electrifying had other plans.
"Sicron, I hate to say this, but your wish of an all out fight is not being fulfilled. I am not fighting at my strongest, not even close."
"YOU…YOU LIE. I HAVE FOUGHT YOU NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE, AND YOU WERE NOT DRAMATICLY STRONGER THEN."
"That's because for many millenniums, I have been hindered, never knowing what I was truly capable of."
"AGAIN WITH YOUR ANNOYING RIDDLES, EXPLAIN YOURSELF." Sicron demanded.
"Just take a good look at me; not a spot on my body is a scar, my limbs are barely still in their sockets, my mussels are withered and dieing, and most of all," Electrifying pointed to his right eye, "a very old enemy of mine took out my eye. This eye isn't real…I'm half blind. And yet, I can still keep up with you in a fight to the finish." Sicron stared wide eyed. It was true, a close look showed that the greatest of all warriors, was ready to fall apart.
"NO, NO IT CAN''T BE TRUE. IT'S ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR TRICKS, THAT'S ALL IT IS!" he said, trying to convince himself.
"You like all other Electrifyings can smell the lies in another's voice. So you know very well that you know it to be true." Sicron then said what no-one expected.
"THEN FIX YOURSELF! YOUR STAFF OF PURITY CAN RESTORE YOU. REMEMBER I WANT TO FIGHT YOU AT YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST!" The Soul Guardians gasped.
"…As you wish." Electrifying held the staff in front of him. The same light that coated Dark Ra before blanketed the awesome warrior. Starting from his feet, Electrifyings body began to shine on its own, and heal itself. Slowly his scars disappeared, bones grew back to health. And soon, his head was rejuvenated, behind the fake eye, the light glowed the brightest. The light disappeared and Electrifying stood there, hanging his head. He stuck his finger in his eye and pried out the fake eye. It sat there in his hand. Electrifying opened his eyes and said: "It's over." He smashed the fake eye, the force literally sent Sicron flying to the back wall. Aileta would have done the same if Tiffany hadn't grabbed her. The rest of the Soul Guardians watched from behind the shadow shield Erick strained to keep up. Sicron pried himself from the wall.
"NOTHING…YOU DO…WILL…INTIMIDATE ME," he gasped. "BUT YOU STILL HAVE NOT SHOWN ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH. SO DRAW YOUR ULTIMATE WEAPON…DRAW YOUR SWORD!" From within Electrifyings throat, a came a noise. He was chuckling, then giggling, then laughing.
"Oh Sicron. It's been so long since anyone has seen my sword, Chaos Blade. It's much more powerful now since the last time you've seen it."
"I DO NOT CARE, DRAW THE CHAOS BLADE NOW!" Electrifying did so. But the power radiating from the double crescent blade (A/N: Its got 2 crescent shaped pieces of it cut out near the bottom, The Soul Guardians only have 1) did intimidate Sicron. He drew his own double crescent sword and rushed for Electrifying, he lunged and their blades struck! They stood there, and stared as Sicrons sword, split in half. Sicron fell to his knees wide eyed.
"I told you, it's over." Electrifying said. With one arm, Electrifying picked up and tossed Sicron straight out the massive temple doors. He rolled over and over on the ground and eventually came to a stop. Sicron looked up to see Electrifying pointing his blade at him. "Remember, you asked for this…SPIRIT BEAM!"
"Get down!" Erick yelled. The blast, stronger than ever before almost blew the temple to pieces. It rushed for Sicron like a freight train on a toad. Sicron pulled up a fire shield, and it held, but not for long. It quickly collapsed and the famous sorcerer was enveloped in a torrent of incredible energy. He yelled as he slowly disintegrated and his spirit nearly torn to pieces. In time, the explosion subdued, and a small dark cloud was sucked into Electrifyings staff.
"Never again…never again will I let you escape if I can't help it." Electrifying said to himself. He stared down at the white/gold orb in the center of the top of his staff, it pulsated with Sicrons hatred.
