The Cut Fight Between Miguel and Luna Inverse That No One Got To See In This Christmas Story:
Note to audience: I know that some of you might think that I was a little slow for putting this at this page. But I just couldn't resist putting the entire fight into this page! I know that I should've put this up in the story, but it would've been too long for me to put up. So I decided to write up a fight section so that everyone who goes to or could read it. I got the inspiration to write up the fight while watching an episode of South Park when Timmy and Jimmy in the episode called "Cripple Fight!" You just have to read this story in order to find out what. As with the first page, this section is rated R for violence and harsh language as well as blood that may occur. Now that it's been cleared up, sit back and enjoy the story! Now as Judge Mills Lane would put it, "Now, let's get it on!"
As soon as the two combatants collided their fists with each other's face, the two of them started to collapse onto the floor with loud thuds. Everyone in the living hall room stood frozen with silence as they looked at the competitors' unconscious forms.
"Uh, are those two out already?" asked Knuckles as he walked over to Miguel with a still frozen. "It seems to be only a second since both Miguel and this lady started their brawl."
"For your information, Knux, the lady is named Luna and she happens to be Lina's older sister," Sonic answered the red echidna as he quickly went over to the Knight of Ceiphied's unconscious body.
"But those two can't be out already!" Xellos complained as he watched the two competitors who were still lying unconscious on the ground. "The fight has just barely begun and those two are already knocked themselves out cold!"
"Oh, shut up, Xellos!" Filia shouted to the Monster priest with an annoyed tone in her voice as she held up her mace towards his face. "It's your fault that Miss Lina went on a rampage in order for her to force Sonic into carrying her towards her home town and bringing her sister here! If you hadn't brought that tree with that loud mouth voice of yours, then none of this would have ever happened!"
"Miss Filia! Please calm down!" Amelia said to the female Golden Dragon as she and Sylphiel tried their best to calm the mace wielding woman down. "This isn't the time to start charging Mr. Xellos like this!"
"Miss Amelia is right, Miss Filia!" Sylphiel said as she went towards the area of where the fight should've taken place and started to go over Miguel's unconscious form. "Now forget about Mr. Xellos for a moment and help bring both Miss Luna and Miguel out of unconsciousness."
"Yeah, no need to start another commotion," Zelgadis said with a sarcastic tone of voice as the two shrine maidens began to heal both competitors from their unexpected slumber.
As he was beginning to come out of his coma like state, Miguel began to hear the voice of Sylphiel chanting the words of a healing spell while also feeling his face starting to recover from the damage that he suffered. When he started to open his eyes, he soon saw the worried and pretty face of the shrine maiden staring down at his face.
"Ugh! My head!" Miguel began to say as he did his best to get up on his own while rubbing the temples of his head. "Man, did I have the strangest dream. I dreamt that I was in this fight with Lina's older sister for when Sonic, Shadow, and Xellos arrived back with the manic. I'm just glad that it..."
That was when the teen's words were cut off for when he heard Sylphiel's voice saying to him with a nervous chuckle as he felt her gentle hands grabbing onto him in order to help, "Uh, Miguel. You weren't dreaming. You see, you..."
The teen then cut the shrine maiden's words short for when he felt his energy returning to him. He soon began to stand up on his own two feet and saw Filia treating the unconscious form of Luna Inverse. Soon, he started to charge towards the unconscious form of the woman with an angry expression on his face when he felt the arms of both Gourry and Knuckles grabbing onto his arms with great strength.
"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down, Miguel!" the blonde swordsman said to the teen as he tried his best to hold him back like a wild Doberman. "What's the matter with you?"
"I don't know, Gourry!" Knuckles said as he continued to restrain a raging Miguel with all of his strength. "He's usually very calm for when he meets new people and goes to other places! Now he's just as blood thirsty as a killer dog! Just what in the world has gotten into him, anyway?!"
"Let me go, you two! Let me go!" the teen shouted as he struggled to break himself free from both the swordsman and the echidna's hold. "I've got to kill that know-it-all bitch for what she said about me earlier! When I get my hands on her, I'll...!"
His words were soon cut short for when everyone in the room saw Sylphiel quickly walking up towards the enraged teen and smacked him right across the face causing him to be calm and silent. Everyone, even Xellos, didn't say a word for what just happened. That was when the shrine maiden began to break the silence in the room by turning her attention back towards Miguel before beginning to speak.
"Miguel Angel Arias!" Sylphiel said to the young man with a tone that matched that of an angry mother. "You'd better calm yourself down and wash that mouth of yours this instant or otherwise you won't be coming to the party tonight!"
Miguel soon began to look down in the floor with shame and embarrassment as both Gourry and Knuckles let go of the teen while backing away at the couple at the same time.
"Yes dear," the young man said meekly as he continued to look down on the ground with a shameful and embarrassed look on his face.
"Good!" Sylphiel said to Miguel with her usual cheerful and kind smile back on her face as she patted the teen on the head like a person would do with their pet dog.
"Okay, now it's official," Zelgadis began to say as he looked at the scene with a bit of awe and confusion while sweatdropping at the same time. "I don't know what's more weird: the fact that Miguel is almost as violent and blood thirsty as Lina was or the fact that Sylphiel was able to calm the kid down with a slap and a lecture while finishing with a dog pat."
"Oy! You got that right!" said Jillas as everyone in the room saw that both he and Gravos have just entered the room with a amazed expressions on their faces. "Hey, Boss! Do you believe what I just saw?"
"To be honest, pal, I've never seen anything like this in my whole life!" the huge lizard man responded to the one-eyed fox as he continued to look at the scene with amazement. "I mean, a pretty and kind woman like Miss Sylphiel just isn't the type of person to be resorting to violence. It's just the type of thing that the crazy sorceress is capable of."
"Boy! If Lina were here at this moment, she would've been laughing at all of this," Sonic spoke as he began to sigh with relief that nothing terrible was about to happen. "Well, at least things calmed down a bit so that way we could get back to finish preparing for the Christmas party tonight. Now nothing could possibly go wrong now.....!"
As if on cue, the loud sound of a person breaking a glass bottle suddenly erupted from the kitchen. Everyone looked around to see who was responsible for the disturbance. That was when Filia began to turn her attention back towards her own patient and saw that she was no longer on the floor.
"Uh, has anyone here seen Miss Luna?" the female golden dragon asked everyone in the room with a bit of curiosity and worry in her voice.
"Yeah, come to think of it, where did she...?" was all Tails could say before the door to the kitchen suddenly bursted open and revealed Luna Inverse holding a broken wine bottle in one of her hands while looking rather enraged.
As she scanned around to look for her victim, Miguel started to once again have fire in his eyes again before he began to grab a nearby empty glass bottle that was on the fireplace and broke it against the wall. The others soon gasped at the reaction that they saw from the teen's actions while Xellos was feeling a bit more happier about the situation.
"Finally! Now this is starting to become more of a blood bath!" the Monster Priest said before he appeared right in between the two competitors with a smile on his face. "I was starting to worry that this is going to turn into one of those soap operas romance stories. Now, as I had said before, let's get it on!"
As soon as those words were spoken and a bell rung by the priest later, Luna was the first to make her move. She started to charge towards Miguel at a great speed while trying to slash at his face with the broken bottle. However, the young man was able to avoid the Knight of Ceiphied's assault by a mere inch as it cut a bit of skin on his cheek. When he touched the small cut that Luna inflicted on his face and looked at the blood on his fingers, Miguel soon began to charge fiercely at his opponent and slashed right back towards her as a response. But he was only able to cut the skin of the woman's right arm as she avoided the attack.
The two them then turned their attention back towards each other and grinned ferally as the two combatants threw away their glass weapons and started to charge at one another again. When they met head on, the two contenders started to grapple at one another in hand-to-hand combat. As both Miguel and Luna continued to push at one another with all of their strength, everyone was either shocked or excited about the fight that was ensuing.
"Miguel! Miss Luna! Stop it this instant!" Sylphiel shouted to the two grappling competitors with a worried tone of voice as they ignored her pleading words. "Why are you two fighting like this?! Are you even listening to me?!"
"From the looks of things here, it seems that they can't hear you, Sylphiel!" Shadow responded to the shrine maiden as he went over towards her side while still focusing his attention towards the two contenders. "It's as if something inside of those two caused them to become blood thirsty psychos towards each other! Sort of like animal instinct! Well, whatever it is, we...!"
That was when the black hedgehog's words were cut off for when Sonic began to shout out, "Come on, Miguel! Show that girl who's boss! Sock it right to her jaw!"
"Mr. Sonic! You're not helping with the situation!" Filia responded to the blue hedgehog's words with an shocked tone before she began to march up towards Xellos with her mace in hand. "Xellos! You'd better stop this commotion this instant! Otherwise, someone is going to get hurt and its not only going to be Mr. Miguel and Miss Luna!"
"Well, as much as I would like to respond to that delicious threat of yours, Filia," the priest in the white and black striped shirt said to the female golden dragon with a smirk on his face before turning his attention back towards the fight and changed his expression to a curious one. "But I'm afraid that not even I could be enough to stop those two from brawling it out.
"It's as if some type of instinct of theirs has awakened from within them and forced both Miguel and Miss Luna Inverse to charge towards each other with the desire to kill one another. What it is exactly, I can't say. But that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy those two trying to strangle each other to death while feeding off their anger towards each other."
"Gee! That helps us a lot, Xellos! Thank you very much for pointing that out and being typically useless!" Zelgadis said to the Trickster Priest while continuing to keep his attention towards the both Miguel and Luna, who were soon starting to grab each other by the throats. "Now what are we suppose to do with those two?"
"Eh, well for one thing, we should try to keep this crowd of angry people under control!" Knuckles replied as everyone turned as saw a huge crowd of people starting to gather from outside while trying to get into the inn that they were in at the same time. "It seems that most of the men outside are starting to place bets on the fight while the women are trying to keep the children from seeing what's going on with their eyes!"
Outside, a huge crowd of people started to crowd in front of the huge glass window of the inn. Most were men putting piles of gold in to see if either Miguel or Luna would win. The women meanwhile were trying their best to conceal the sight from the curious eyes of children that were walking by. However, that didn't stop the teenagers who caught wind of the fight with their eyes from going through the back door and entering inside of the inn.
"Hey, Ed! Who do you think is going to win?" one man asked his companion with the brown beard as he held up a bag full of gold coins in his hands. "I'm placing all of my bets on the girl with the neat rack and the tight caboose!"
"Well, my money's on the lad with the strange clothes!" the breaded man answered as he tried to look through the window. "When it comes to strange death matches, always place all your money on the strange kid!"
"Sir! That is not a very nice thing to say!" a young woman said as she did her best to conceal her son's eyes from the scene by smothering his face with her ample bosom. "This is suppose to be the time to start getting ready to celebrate Christmas! And what about the children?! Won't somebody please think of the children!?"
"Mom! Let me go! I can't breathe!" the woman's son muffled from his mother's breasts as he did his best to break free from her tight embrace while trying to breathe in some air. "You're embarrassing me! I'm not a little kid anymore you know! I'm twelve years old! I'm a teen, not a baby!"
Back inside of the inn, Gourry, Tails, Gravos, Jillas, and Knuckles began to gather and started for the door. "You guys keep an eye on those two while the five of us do our best to keep this crowd under control," Tails said as he began to hover with the help of his twin tails.
"Alright, you three!" Knuckles began to say to Gourry and the two beast men, "Tails will try to take care of calming down the people from the sky while the rest of us take care of them from the ground! Is that crystal clear?"
"Sir, yes sir!" both Gourry, Gravos, and Jillas responded to the red echidna in unison while saluting like soldiers in an army.
As soon as Tails, Knuckles, Gourry, Gravos, and Jillas went out in order to calm the crowd of people outside, the rest turned their full attention back towards both Miguel and Luna and saw that the two of them finally released their grip on each others' throats. When they saw the two contenders breathing in and out for oxygen, they all soon saw Amelia starting to speak a piece of her mind.
"The two of you stop this foolishness this instant!" the princess of Seyruun said before she got into one of her little justice poses as she got in between the two opponents at close range. "This is no way for friends and allies to be acting! In the name of justice, I, Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, will put an end to this foolish...!"
Just before Amelia could finish the rest of her sentence, both Miguel and Luna began to rise up very quickly and started to raise their fists while shouting together in unison, "Shut the hell up!!"
As soon as they shouted those words, the two opponents soon started to throw their fists towards the princess' face and made her fly away from them, also causing her to crash hard onto the nearest wall. After dealing their fists towards Amelia, both Miguel and Luna began to turn their attention back towards each other and resumed their fight against one another. The others just stood frozen still for the moment at what they saw. Zelgadis then started to run towards Amelia's side and held her very tightly as he applied a healing spell on her. Sylphiel began to regain her composure and also started to run towards the hurt princess as she started to cast the healing spell on her friend.
But before anyone else could have the chance to speak, their attentions were soon turned back towards both Miguel and Luna as they saw the Knight of Ceiphied starting to kick her opponent right in his mid section and caused him to hit the ground. That was when the enraged teen began to pick himself off of the floor and started to charge towards the woman at a great speed and tackled her with incredible force. Then the two started to crash each other towards the wooden door causing it to break into millions of pieces.
"It looks as though that this grudge match is going to take place on the road!" Sonic began to say for the first time since he saw the scene that Amelia caused. "We'd better do our best to try to defuse the situation between those two before the people outside start to light up the torches and sharpen their pitchforks!"
"Then, we'd hurry and stop those two before they hurt someone else like Miss Amelia!" Filia said to everyone as a dazed Amelia started to recover from the hit that she received. "I mean, this is suppose to be a friendly Christmas inn reception for Miss Lina, not a bar fight!"
"Just what in the world did those two do to me?!" the princess asked as she began to look at Zelgadis with worried expression on her face.
"The same they're going to do to anyone else if we don't stop them as soon as possible!" Zelgadis answered as he helped Amelia to get on her feet.
"Well then, what are we doing just standing around?" Shadow asked before he charged towards the same way as Miguel and Luna went through. "Let's get over there!"
"Shadow! I'm coming too!" shouted Sylphiel as she and the rest of the gang started to go through the broken down door that both contenders caused. "I want to stop Miguel too before he goes and does something that he might regret!"
"(Sighs) Well in any case, I can't just stay here and do nothing," Xellos said to himself as he vanished into the astral plane in order find the two contenders.
Meanwhile, as soon as they've went through the kitchen and went outside to a nearby alley, Miguel soon started to charge towards the woman and tackled her to a nearby trash can. When she started to pick herself off of the ground, Luna began to scan the alley and landed her eyes on a large board of wood lying on the ground. But before she could have the chance to grab the wooden board, Luna suddenly felt a huge metal trash can colliding with her head as she once again stumble onto the ground. When she looked at her opponent, she soon discovered that he was the cause for the aluminum can colliding with her skull.
Luna soon began to see Miguel starting to walk over her, covering the Knight of Ceiphied with his shadow. That was when she began to feel the hand of her opponent starting to pick her off the ground by grabbing her by her violet hair.
"Time to take out the trash!" the young man said with a menacing edge in his voice as he lifted her to his face in order to look at the woman with a satisfied smile on his face. But before he could say anything more, Luna started to ram her knee towards her opponent's private area but missing it by an inch.
"Why you dirty mother fu....!!" was all Miguel could shout out to the Knight of Ceiphied before the woman belted him right in the face with her fist causing him to loosen his grip on her hair.
Then while seeing the young man being dazed by her assault, Luna soon started to pick up the wooden board that she saw earlier and started to slam it towards her opponent's back with all of her strength. When she saw him starting to collapse on the solid floor, the woman soon started to pick up the brown haired teen by his arm and gave him another punch to his face. That caused Miguel to crash onto two other metal trash cans that were in the alley filled with garbage.
As she saw him trying his best to pick himself off of the ground, Luna started to walk towards her opponent as she said to him with the same menacing tone as he had used on her, "Well, it looks as though you're going to be the one begging for mercy, bitch!"
With those words said and done, the Knight of Ceiphied began to lift up Miguel's entire body with all of her strength and started to whirl him around like a merry-go-round. When she was finally finished with the final lap, the woman finally launched the teen by releasing her hold of him and watched him fly towards the window of a nearby bar filled with drunken men and folks that usually hang out. However that is going to change for when they all saw a young man emerging from the window which shattered into a thousand pieces. When the brown-haired teen landed on the wooden table as it attracted the entire bar's attention.
"Now what the hell was that?!" a young teenaged female bard shouted as she went over to Miguel's hurt form as she saw him raising from the remains of the table. "Hey, hun. Are you alright? You look as though as if you had a rough tussle with someone strong."
When he finally managed to get himself off of the ground, the teen began to answer to the female by answering while holding onto his right side, "Yeah, I'm alright, miss. I've just had a close encounter with the most horrifying and irritating woman that I've ever met! She's....!"
As if to cue her entrance, Luna Inverse began to appear right out of the front door of the tavern and started to tackle him. With that, she soon started to pin him like she would with a professional wrestler. That was when Xellos appeared from out of the shadows of the bar and started to count down as he still is wearing his official white and black striped shirt.
"One! Two! Thr..!!" was all the priest could say before his words were cut short by the teen's sudden struggle against the hold of the Knight of Ceiphied.
"The fight continues!" Xellos announced to the residence of the bar as everyone began to turn their attentions towards the two fighters and started placing bets on who would win.
As he continued to fight against Luna's hold, Miguel started to grab onto a glass bottle with his hand and began to hit her head with it as he slammed it as hard as he could with a shattering result. The Knight of Ceiphied started to loosen her grip on her opponent and he started to roll away from the woman as quickly as he could. When he started to pick himself off of the ground, Miguel started to grab a wooden chair near two people and began to charge towards his opponent. Then, just before he could have the chance to collide the wooden chair onto Luna's back, the teen started to feel the heel of the Knight of Ceiphied's foot hitting his stomach as the air was knocked right out of him, causing him to fall back on his attack.
While clutching onto his stomach, Miguel started to look up at the intimating figure of his opponent as she started to say to him, "Come on! Get up, skinny boy! I'm not done beating on you yet! Please don't tell me that's all you got!"
"Augh! Well, I must say this about you, witchy," the teen began to respond to Luna's word with a grin on his face as he continued to clenched onto his right side while facing her, "you can sure hit pretty hard. Now I know how Lina was able to get that strong. I think that you'd make a great message therapist 'cause that felt pretty comfortable."
"Oh, so you like that, do you?" the Knight of Ceiphied replied to her opponent's words as she looked at him with a devilish grin on her face as she began to crack her knuckles. "Well, then if you don't mind, please hold still because you're really going to enjoy this!"
While taking in his opponent's words, Miguel started to prepare himself as he saw Luna beginning to run towards his direction at a great speed. But just before the woman could have the chance to launch her fist at her opponent, the teen started to quickly move out of Luna's way and watched as she crashed right into a wall of the tavern. As he felt his own injuries starting to mend and heal themselves, Miguel started to notice that a huge crowd of people in the building were staring at them. He also noticed that Xellos, while in a white and black striped shirt, was near the female bard that he spoke with earlier while at the same time eating a tub of popcorn as he watched the events.
But before he could have the chance to even speak a word to the Trickster Priest, the teen ducked just as soon as he saw a glass bottle being thrown at his direction and stared into the face of his opponent. He began to grin ferally as he started to crack his own knuckles and began to charge towards Luna at an incredible speed. Before he could have the chance for his fist to collide with his opponent, the Knight of Ceiphied quickly got a hold of the teen's hand and began to pull him in with all of her strength.
As soon as he felt himself crashing down to the nearest table, Miguel suddenly heard the voice of Xellos saying to him while seeing the priest wearing one of his usually smirks, "Miguel, I think that Miss Luna Inverse is starting to have the upper hand on you."
"Oh gee, ya think!?" Miguel responded to the purple-haired Monster sarcastically as he felt the hand of his female opponent pulling on his hair in order to get him back up from the floor.
"Oh no, I'm not through with you yet, bitch!" Luna said to the teen as she dragged him by his hair while at the same time throwing his body onto yet another table with a group of people were sitting a moment ago.
When he tried his best to get himself off of the floor of the bar, he suddenly heard the scream of his opponent as he turned and saw Luna holding up a huge wooden object that appeared to look more like a baseball bat. However, just before the woman could have the chance to swing her weapon of choice at him, Miguel started to roll his body out of the wooden object's path and moved as far away from Luna as possible. As soon as he got himself off of the ground, the teen quickly began to scan around the bar for a any nearby weapon.
"Geez! Can't I find a decent sword in a place filled with drunken swordsmen like this!" Miguel thought out loud to himself as he continued to look around of a decent weapon. "Now how I'm going to fight when I don't have my Star...?!"
As if to respond to his question before he could have the chance to ask it fully, the teen suddenly saw a sword being thrown towards his direction and landed on the wooden floor with its blade being submerged in its surface. While looking for the person who threw the weapon towards his direction, Miguel soon started to notice the same bar mistress waving at him while saying to him with a wink of her left eye.
"Go and teach that slut who's boss, cutey!" the young female bard cheered to the teen as she waved both of her hands towards his direction. "If you do, then I would become your girlfriend and show you a good time!"
"Uh, gee thanks, miss. I think," Miguel responded with a sort of confused tone in his voice and a sweatdrop behind his head before turning his attention back towards his opponent as he pointed the weapon at her direction. "Well, it looks as though the odds are once again turning in my favor, Miss Wicked Witch of the West."
"Don't be so sure about that, bastard!" Luna said as she started to charge towards the teens direction while swinging the wooden object in her hands at full and with all of her strength. "Do you think that just by having a sword you can defeat me? I'm going to pound you right into next week!"
Just as soon as she said those words and swung her weapon of choice towards her opponents with full force. However, just before the wooden bat-like object could have the chance to collide with its target, Miguel started to swing his received weapon at the thick wooden object and it was sliced in two pieces. A baffled Luna soon started to scan around her surroundings in order to find another weapon for her to use. As her luck would have it, she just happened to find a sword which was lying on the ground that was right near one of the drunken men in the bar.
When she finally pointed the weapon towards her opponents direction, the Knight of Ceiphied grinned as she looked at Miguel with a menacing grin on her face before she said, "Well, it looks as though we're going to have ourselves a duel. Now let's put an end to this foolishness."
"Hee! My thoughts exactly," the teen responded with a feral grin on his face just before both he and Luna charged at one another and began their sword duel.
Meanwhile outside, somewhere a block away from the bar, everyone in the group were still looking for both Miguel and Luna Inverse when Sonic suddenly rushed in on them before saying.
"I can't seem to find those two anywhere!" the blue hedgehog said to his friends while feeling a bit annoyed at not finding his targets. "For all we know, they could be almost anywhere in this town!"
"I wouldn't say something like that, Sonic," Zelgadis said while continuing to scan the area for the raging foes. "With the way that those two are acting towards each other, it shouldn't be too hard to find them. It's not like that those two would just vanish into thin air and not leave a trace of where they would be."
"Mr. Zelgadis is right, Mr. Sonic," Amelia added while trying to feel a bit cheerful at the same time, "If those two should cause a huge property damage while fighting, it shouldn't be too hard to spot them."
"I have to agree with Amelia on this on this one, Sonic," Shadow said while looked around the area they were in with his usual serious tone. "There's no way that those two could just vanish into thin air. With the way that they're causing a major crowd back in the inn, it should be easy to spot them."
"But there's one thing that's been on my mind since we've left the hotel," Sylphiel began to say while using a rather sadden and worried tone. "Why can't both Miguel and Miss Luna listen to me for when I've told them to stop. I just don't understand it. Usually Miguel is so calm and friendly for when he meets new people. Now, he's..."
"About as hotheaded as Miss Lina was!" Filia finished as she began to feel a cold shiver down her spine. "I mean, we already have to deal with one out of control nutcase, but now the Gods have to throw another human with a mental disability with one more to boot!"
"Well (ahem!) Filia, I wouldn't put it in those words exactly," Shadow said to the Golden Dragon female with a sweatdrop on his head as he cleared his throat. "However, I've been thinking about what Sylphiel said earlier. From the way that those two were acting, it as if they're natural born enemies."
As if on cue, everyone soon began to notice a stampede of men starting to run towards a nearby bar that soon began to grown into a huge crowd.
"Guys, you don't think...?" was all that Zelgadis asked the entire group before all of their eyes turned huge and wide as they each started to run towards the direction where the huge mob was going.
As soon as they all arrived at the scene, the group began to hear the voices of the nearby bystanders chatting to one another about what they're seeing. That was when Amelia began to ask one of the men closest to her.
"Uh, excuse me sir. But what's going on?" the princess asked as she prayed to all things that is all good and holy that she wasn't going to hear what she thinks she's going to listen to.
"Well miss, there's a fight goin' on between a woman and some lad with strange cloths," the man answered with a bit of excitement in his voice. "From the looks of it, they're now dueling each other with swords."
As soon as those words were said, everyone in the group soon started to push through the crowd of people in order to enter into the bar. But just before either of them could reach the entrance, the window suddenly began to shatter into millions of pieces for when they both saw Miguel and Luna Inverse coming through it. When they both hit the ground, the two contenders soon started to roll while struggling to see who would gain the upper hand. The two soon rolled away from the crowd and started to make their way towards another alley way.
"I think that we've just found them," Sonic said as he began to dash over to the two competitors while the others as well as the huge mob of people followed.
As soon as they were both far enough away from the crowd, Miguel and Luna soon started to pick themselves off of the ground and panted in order to get air into their lungs. Miguel was a bit out of shape with small bruises on his face, arms, and shoulders with cuts dripping blood on his dirtied clothes from the sword fight that he just had. Luna was about the same condition as her opponent for when she looked at herself and saw her cloths ripped from the sword duel that she and Miguel just had.
When the two competitors faced each other once again, they smiled feral to one another despite the huge amount of damage that one did to the other.
"Hee! Looks like someone.....is a bit.....out of shape," Miguel said to the Knight of Ceiphied while pressing his hand onto his shoulder that was starting to bleed with blood as it began to clot.
"Hee! Hee! Not just....me.....little boy," Luna responded as she clutched at her ribs while beginning to feel them break at any moment. "Looks as....though....we're approaching a...stalemate."
"It appears that way," a voice suddenly spoke out as both contenders turned and saw that it was Xellos giving out one of his famous smirks. "Looks like there's only one way to determine who the winner would..."
"XELLOS SHUT UP!!" the two opponents shouted to the Monster priest as they caused him to back away a little bit in fear. Something that no other human being were able to do as long as Xellos existed in this world.
When they both turned their attention back towards each other and glared with fire in their eyes. That was when the others soon started to arrive at the scene with everyone, both the group and the huge crowd of people arrived at the scene that was developing in front of their eyes.
"Miguel! Miss Luna! Stop this at once!" Sylphiel cried as she stopped for the moment in order to catch her breath along with the others. "Aren't you two even aware that you are almost out of strength and losing some of your own blood?"
While seeing the two contenders panting in for the rest of their breath, Sonic said to the shrine maiden while blocking her path, "I don't think that those two are going to listen to you, Sylphiel. From the way that things look around here, I'd say that those two would like to finish their fight here and now!"
"I have to agree with Sonic on this one, Miss Sylphiel," Xellos added while appearing right next to the blue hedgehog, causing him to jump up in surprise at the same time. "Those two are quite stubborn with trying to settle things. It seems that both Miguel and Miss Luna want to finish this up with one more attack."
"Oh, what kind of attack do you think that they'll try in their current state, you purple-haired leprechaun?" Shadow asked the Monster priest with a sarcastic tone before everyone began to turn their full attention back towards the two contenders as they all noticed that they were each starting to glow with a powerful aura.
"Uh, guys, are those two going to do what I think they're going to do?!" Amelia asked with a panicked tone as she watched with horror at the scene that was going to happen.
"Xellos! You're the referee! Don't just stand there, do something! Anything!" Filia said to Xellos as she began to grab and throttle him by the collar of his black and white striped shirt.
"Easy, Filia! There's no need for you to get all rough if that's what you really want," the priest responded to the female golden dragon with a grin. "If you want me to do something, then I'll do as you say."
With those words said and done, Xellos began to walk over to the two opponents and began to say, "Alright you two, if you're done breathing in air, then why don't you two finish this with one quickly using your powers."
"What!?" the group shouted in unison with shock as they all saw both Miguel and Luna getting ready to launch their powerful and destructive attacks towards one another.
A moment after the explosion, everyone was heading their way back towards the inn with the two contenders in hand. Both Zelgadis and Amelia were holding a knocked out Luna Inverse while Sylphiel did her best to maintain the balance of her friend Miguel as best as she could. Although that didn't stop her from holding onto his arm with a tight and firm grip, causing a flinching pain to come across the teen's body. It was his punishment for the fight he put up with the Knight of Ceiphied. As for Xellos.....well, he did what he always did best: to just walk and watch other people suffering the pain that he was enjoying feeding upon.
"Ouch! That hurts, Sylphiel! Look I said that I'm sorry for causing all that damage that me and Luna caused," Miguel said to the shrine maiden with the childish tone as the pain continued to torture him. "I didn't know what got into me that made me want to fight with that irritating woman in the first place!"
"Well, that still doesn't excuse you from putting up a fight with Miss Luna with all your strength like that, Miguel," Sylphiel responded to the teen with an angry tone as she still didn't turn to look at him.
"Yeah! It serves you right for trying to pick a fight with a woman, Mr. Miguel!" Filia added to the shrine maiden's words with the same tone of annoyance. "What exactly were you thinking for when you first laid your eyes on Miss Luna, anyway?!"
"Well, that's exactly what I would like to know myself, Filia," Zelgadis said while still carrying an unconscious Luna Inverse over his shoulders. "From the way that both Miguel and Lina's sister were duking it out, it were as if they were in an actual bar fight."
"You could say that again, stone man," Sonic responded as he kept his eyes on Sylphiel and Miguel, who was now flinching from the pain he's feeling from the shrine maiden's hold. "And who could exactly blame Sylphiel from being mad at Miguel for launching one of his strongest attacks on Lina's big sister. It's a good thing that they were in an abandoned part of the city, so it's fortune that no one was hurt."
"You said it, Mr. Sonic," Amelia said while looking towards Miguel's direction with a stern look on her face. "Mr. Miguel, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! Fighting against a woman like you're in a bar fight! Now that is something that doesn't suit a hero of justice!"
"Well, I for one, didn't mind the reckless fight that both he and Luna were having," Xellos replied to the princess's words with a smirk as he continued to feed off of the negative energy being caused by the females' annoyance.
"Well, it's not like that Miguel felt he had a choice in the matter, Xellos," Shadow said to the Monster as he thought about what just happened the past few minutes. "While both he and Luna were fighting, I noticed that the both of them have a fire in their eyes they made it look like that they're natural born enemies. When Luna fainted from using up all of her energy, Miguel was suddenly back to his calm and usual self again."
"Well, enemies or not, they shouldn't be fighting while all of us were trying to put up a special Christmas celebration for Miss Lina!" Sylphiel responded to the black hedgehog's words while keeping the angry tone in her voice before she turned her attention back towards the injured teen again. "The way that you fought with Miss Luna was inexcusable! I don't know why I even bother getting you a present in the first place!"
With those words said and done, the shrine maiden soon started to realize what she just said as she saw that everyone, but Miguel, was eyeing her with surprised and shocked expressions on their faces. Sylphiel then started to let go of the teen's arm and pointed her face down towards the ground with a red shade of color in embarrassment. Little did she realize that Miguel was almost as embarrassed as she was for when he heard those words come out of her mouth.
"Okay, well that was unexpected," Sonic replied with a grin just before the moment was cut short by the sudden appearance of Tails flying towards their direction as the young fox landed on the ground while starting to breath heavily.
"Mr. Tails! What are you doing here?" said Filia with a shocked as both she and Sonic quickly went to the two-tailed fox's side. "Aren't you suppose to help Knuckles and the others to keep the mob of people from getting out of control?"
As soon as he was finally able to breathe, Tails finally looked up to the others before speaking to them, "That's why I'm here for! Some of the people were finally calm enough to go home, but most of the others are still at the inn, yelling and screaming for more of the fight that was going on between Miguel and Lina's sister!"
"Well, that's just great!" the chimera said while feeling a bit of a headache coming into his skull. "What else could go wrong?!"
As if on cue, Luna Inverse began to stir from beneath Zelgadis's cape while trying to regain consciousness. As soon as they all took notice of this, everyone in the group quickly turned their full attention back towards Miguel, for who they saw was beginning to become engulfed in a powerful aura of silver light.
"Oh, goody! Another fight is underway!" Xellos said with glee as the Knight of Ceiphied was starting to rise her head up to see where she was.
"Not if I have anything to say about it, leprechaun!" Sonic said as he quickly rushed to get a large wooden board out of a nearby dumpster and struck Luna's head with it as hard as he could.
As soon as the woman was unconscious again, Filia began to say to the blue hedgehog with a bit of shock and anger in her voice, "Mr. Sonic! Why in Ceiphied's name did you do that to Miss Luna?!"
"Hey! It's not like I have any choice at the moment!" Sonic answered while raising both of his hands in order to defend himself from the female dragon's wrath. "Didn't you all notice the way that Miguel was becoming all enraged like a angry bull for when that lady was starting to wake up and then, as soon as I've knocked her out, he started to become more like his usual self again?"
As soon as anyone from within the group could have a chance to answer, Knuckles suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started to say to everyone with a frantic voice, "Guys, I think that all of us ought to get back to the inn! Things are starting to grow ugly with the huge crowd back there and we could definitely use your help right about now!"
"All of you go on ahead for I would like to have a word with Miguel alone," Sylphiel said to every in the group while staring back towards Miguel's direction with a stern look on her face.
While everyone else was a bit confused about the shrine maiden's words, the entire group suddenly turned their full attentions back towards the direction where the red echidna came from and heard the crowd growing a bit restless with impatience.
"I think that all of us should get back to the place where Mr. Knuckles came from and help Mr. Gourry and the others to take care of the crowd, everyone!" Amelia said to everyone as they all nodded in response to her words while they left both Sylphiel and Miguel alone with one another.
When the group finally made it back to the inn, they all saw that the crowd of people the front were beginning to lose they're patience as they pushed harder on a tired Gourry, Gravos, and Jillas.
"Looks like that this situation is in serious need for crowd control!" Sonic exclaimed while turning his attention towards the others. "Knux, Tails, Zel, Shadow, Xellos, and I will help those three take care of this huge crowd while Amelia and Filia take that woman Luna into one of the empty rooms of the inn. Any questions?"
"I've got one, Sonic," Xellos said to the blue hedgehog while raising his hand in order to grab the Mobian's attention. "Why is it that I have to help you all out when...?"
That was when the Monster's words were cut short for when Filia started to raise her huge mace towards his direction while preparing to fire off a laser breath out of her mouth at the same time. Her eyes glowed red with anger as she spoke to the Trickster Priest.
"Because, Xellos, you were the one that caused this whole mess in the first place!" the female dragon shouted to the purple-haired priest as he continued to stare at him with a threatening look on her face. "And, we have four out of five beings that could drop you like a bad habit! Now, if you have any objections and if you value your health, I suggestion you do as Mr. Sonic says and help them out with this mob....or I would have to resort to singing love verse at the inn while we're preparing for the party."
With a shaky nod of his head, Xellos went towards Sonic's group while the two females carried off an unconscious Knight of Ceiphied towards the inn. Zelgadis took that moment to smirk to himself a bit at what he just seen before he focused on the task at hand. As soon as the ladies were out of sight, Sonic and the rest of the group started to go to the front of the crowd with Gourry and the two beastmen as the three sighed with relief.
"What took you guys so long?" the blonde swordsman asked while panting to regain his breath, "Do you have any idea how...?"
"Just shut up and be thankful that they're here, Mr. Gourry!" said Gravos while cutting off Gourry's words with a annoyed tone as the lizard man turned to the Sonic's direction. "Just what in the world took you guys so long that had to be important, Sonic?"
Just before the blue hedgehog could have the chance to answer, Shadow stepped in and said to Gravos, "Well, let's just say that Miguel and Luna's fight was one for the books, Gravos."
"Just what do you mean by that, Shadow?" asked Jillas as he eyed the black hedgehog with suspicious and curious look on his face before turning his full attention back towards the raging crowd of people that were starting to become more impatient with the waiting around that they had to endure.
"Can we just maybe talk about this later?" Tails said with a sort of annoyed tone as the young fox was starting to dodge the numerous pitch forks and torches being thrown at him in the sky before trying once again to calm the people. "Hey! We're not here to harm all of you! We're just...!!"
"Shut up, you two-tailed freak!" one of the males in the crowd shouted while still aiming his pitch fork at the young fox. "We don't need a little two-tailed runt telling us to calm down!"
"Hey! No one talks to my little buddy like that!" Sonic said to the man as he looked in the crowd for the person that shouted. "Why don't you come out and fight like a man!"
"Sonic! Don't try to provoke the guy, or this crowd for that matter, into growing into a hurricane!" Knuckles said to the blue hedgehog with an annoyed tone in his voice before turning his full attention to one of the people trying to break through. "Just shut up and help us with this crowd before things get more out of control!"
However, the red echidna's words came too late for when some of the crowd started to push harder causing some of the group to fall back. But when just before the mob could turn even worse than they were before, a powerful barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere and separated both groups from one another.
"Now what in the world was that?" Gourry shouted with curiosity and shock starting to fill up his mind. "Did anyone see what caused this huge bubble to appear?"
"I don't know, Gourry," Zelgadis said while feeling as shocked and confused as the swordsman. "Whoever did this must have really strong guts and power in order to cast a protection barrier that strong."
"Well, there's no need for you to start putting it that way, Zel," a voice shouted to the chimera as everyone started to turn their full attentions towards the source of the voice only to find themselves staring at both Miguel and Sylphiel holding each other's hands.
"What took you so long, Miguel?" Sonic asked his human friend as he spoke with a mock tone of annoyance with a smile on his face. "Are the two of you finished with your little argument that you've just had or are you still at each others throats?"
"Well, for your information, Sonic, both me and Miguel have just calmed down after a few minutes of arguing a bit," the purple-haired shrine maiden answered the blue hedgehog with a stern, but friendly tone of voice before blushing a bit with red colored shade coming on her face. "He and I kissed one another for a while before we both realized that it's been too long since we started talking."
"Then that was when the two of us started to see this huge crowd starting to push you guys around like a herd of cattle being pushed towards a butcher's slaughter house," Miguel added while chuckling a bit at the comment that he made before everyone started to notice a white glow on the teen's hand. "Assuming the worse that would happen, I decided to step in and create a powerful barrier in order to give this mob a bit of mob control."
"Well, at least it was able to calm this crowd a bit," Knuckles said with a sigh of relief before everyone started to turn their full attention back towards the huge crowd of people that started to back away a bit as they saw in horror at what they just saw.
"If I were all of you, I would get out of here as soon as possible before Lina Inverse starts to wake up," Shadow said to the crowd with a menacing grin on his face. "Believe me, what you saw both Miguel and Luna do is nothing compared what that red-headed sorceress is going to do to this town if all of you suddenly woke her up."
With the name of the Dragon Spooker spoken out of the black hedgehog's mouth, the entire mob of the once outraged townspeople suddenly started to run for their lives as if the entire world was going to an end. When seeing that the entire group of people were out of sight, everyone turned their attention back towards Shadow with a look of both confusion and shock as well as a sweatdrop behind their heads before Zelgadis started to speak.
"Wh.....wha....wha....what in the hell did you just say to those people, Shadow?" the chimera said to the black hedgehog. "They were scared enough for when they had to look at your appearance!"
"Aw! Do worry about it, stone man." Sonic answered with a smile on his face as he walked over toward Zelgadis and gave him a pat on the back. "Shadow always gets this sort of reaction the first time that he meets people. The black and red colors do that every time."
With those words out of the blue hedgehog's mouth, the Ultimate Life Form faced Sonic with a cold and annoyed stare on his face. If looks could kill, then Shadow's stare would have killed the fastest hedgehog alive in one second. But the black hedgehog turned away from his twin as soon as he heard Xellos beginning to speak.
"Well, I must say that Sonic was certainly accurate about your appearance, Shadow," the Trickster Priest said with his usual smile returning, "I could never have put it better mysle...."
That was all the purple-haired Monster could say before Miguel, Shadow, Sonic, Knuckles, and Zelgadis started aiming their energy attacks at Xellos readying to fire them at any moment. Knuckles was the first to speak to the priest. Sylphiel, Gourry, Tails, Gravos, and Jillas stood there in shock at the attacks their friends are going to unleash.
"Now, from what I could see here you purple-haired leprechaun, you have two choices," the red echidna said to Xellos as he approached. "You could either teleport away from here without causing any trouble or be blown to bits by all of us? So what's it going to be?"
Seeing that he was out matched and numbered, the purple-haired priest started to waver a bit and said to everyone, "Well, I could see that I've overstayed my welcome. I'd better get going before Lord Beastmaster starts to because a bit concerned with my absence. Now, I bid you all farewell!"
As soon as those words were said, Xellos just disappeared into the astral plane without having to deal with their wrath. When they saw the Monster disappear out of their sights, everyone Miguel, Shadow, Sonic, Knuckles, and Zelgadis soon calmed down a bit and started to power down their own powerful energy attacks. Sylphiel and the others began to sigh with relief.
"Boy! Am I glad that problem's solved!" Gourry said with relief. "If you guys would've fired those attacks at Xellos, we would've had another big problem on our hands."
"I'd say, Gourry!" Sylphiel replied to the swordsman's words as she started to run towards Miguel's direction and clung onto him with both of her arms into a tight hug. "Don't you or either of the others dare try to do that again, Miguel. Okay?"
As soon as he saw the innocent eyes on the shrine maiden's face, Miguel soon started to blush a red color. The teen then began to notice everyone around him starting to look at both him and Sylphiel with a bit of amusement on their faces.
"Do my ears deceive me or did just Sylphiel here is no longer naming Gourry with 'Dear' at the end?" Zelgadis asked with a mischievous grin on his face before Miguel began to speak to everyone.
"Okay, guys! That's enough of those stares from all of you!" the male teen shouted to everyone in the group with an angry and annoyed tone of voice. "Are we just going to stand around here acting like idiots or are we going to finish preparing the rest of Lina's Christmas party before she wakes up?"
When they heard those words, everyone in the group started to panic as soon as they heard the Dragon Spooker's name. Gourry was the first to speak a piece of his mind, assuming he still has what was left of it.
"Well, why didn't you just say so?! We got to get this place ready before Lina wakes up!" the blonde swordsman said as he started to run frantically towards the damage that some of the mob people caused in their panic and rage.
"That was the first smartest thing that I've heard that guy say all day since all of you came back from the market, everyone!" Sonic said with a bit of shock and surprised still glued to his face.
"Then I would say that we should do what Gourry says and start to get this place cleaned up before we could get the party started," Sylphiel said shyly while still keeping her arms wrapped around Miguel as she stared up towards him with innocent eyes. "Miguel, why don't we help the others to finished cleaning up and getting the things we need for the party?"
As the male teen nodded in response to the shrine maiden's words, he soon started to turn his attention back towards the hotel that still has the broken front window. Sylphiel soon noticed his gaze and said to him with a frighten tone, "Miguel, what are you staring at?"
"Oh, I was just thinking about some things," Miguel responded with a mischievous grin on his face before breaking loose of Sylphiel's hold around him. "I'm going to see Amelia and Filia to ask where they both put Luna while sleeping."
As soon as he said those words, the teen soon started to walk off towards the inn with an evil grin all over his face.
I know that I was a bit late with this part of the story that I've just cooked up, but it took me a while to come up with ideas to put into this. Well, despite how long it took, I think that I've managed to put up a pretty good part for this. Well, I hope that you all enjoyed reading this unseen scene from the Story "A Slayers and Sonic Hokey Christmas Special." I hope that I get good reviews from all of you. See ya!
