Chapter 7 - Battle Of Fate

I watched as his power grew faint, no, he was focusing it. His sword glowed a dim red, as he pointed it at me. "Your childish antics will end here, Riku! You will become Darkness again, or die!" Sheesh… like I have a choice… He moved swiftly as he closed in and slashed at my head. I ducked and came up on his right. I swung my Soul Eater at his side, but only grazing it as he reacted. "Damn..." I swore under my breath as I pulled back. Ansem's orange eye's seemed to glow brighter from the small cut, as if the pain was enjoyable. Stupid lunatic.

He back flipped and landed on a ledge of a nearby building. He raised his free hand and said a language I had never heard, but some how I understood. A bright red signet with strange writing appeared, and a blast of fire flew at me. "That was close..." I said as the blast barely missed me as I jumped clear of it. I rolled and got to my feet with a small jump and side spin in the air. I looked at where Ansem was to find him gone!

"What the...!" I felt the sword cut across my left brow, but only cutting it lightly. My blindfold was cut off and fell to the floor. My yellow eye's glowed brightly on the dark floor of the square. Blood ran lightly down the left side of my face. "Why you bastard!" I yelled as I locked swords with him. He looked me in the eyes; the evil smirk was still on his face. "You have grown quite strong, but you have failed to release the power that lies inside of you. If you give up now, I'll tell you all that you what to know and more, Riku." He looked at me more calmly, but he still had a glow of the evil flame in his eyes. "NO WAY I'M EVER GOING TO JOIN YOU AGAIN! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING HEAD, ANSEM!" I screamed as I found myself overpowering Ansem in our sword lock. "So you're finally seeing your true power." That was it! I had enough of this power crap!

I felt a strange charge of energy run through my body as I shoved Ansem back and raised my hand. I suddenly spoke a language like Ansem's, but it was a different chant than the one earlier. A strange ball of what seemed to be blue lightning suddenly formed in my hand's flat palm as it faced Ansem. A bolt of the strange energy shot out at Ansem, as he stood there wide eyed for some reason. The bolt hit him dead on, as he went flying backwards. "I actually hit him?" was all I could say as I stood there dumfounded from me being able to hit him with a strong attack, but mostly from me being able to summon it.

"How did I do that? What was it?" I said weakly as I looked at my hands. "It was the power I was speaking of." I looked up to see the dust had settled and Ansem was still standing, but his left hand was holding his chest area. I thought I saw blood dripping down his hands, but he was to far away to really tell. "You should not have been able to call it forth at your current level, but in your anger at me, your subconscious summoned it without your full realization." He laughed lightly, as he walked closer. "I am simply amazed at you, Riku. You know so little of what you are now, but still find a way to summon what you don't understand. Simply amazing." He chuckled.

He continued forward at a maddeningly slow pace. His laugh was growing more than annoying at this point. I felt like this battle would never end at this maniac's pace. I had to do something to end it once and for all. "So will you join me?" Ansem stood there, his left hand at his side now, and looked at me in that stupid evil way. I couldn't take it anymore! It was all too much! I wanted it all to end! Why? Why does he continue to ask me! I clenched my fist and gripped my sword hard. I raised my Soul Eater, ready for my final attack. "NEVER, you fucking bastard!" I screamed as I dashed forward at a wild speed, plunging my sword into his chest. I though it was over, that I had won, but soon found I couldn't have been more wrong...
