Chapter Two- Showdown with the Overlord, Kana and Kain to the rescue!
"Come
on, Sakura, you can do better than that. Archer said knocking an
arrow on his bow and aiming it at her.
Sakura knocked an arrow
onto her bow and aimed it at Archer.
"Bring it on." She
said lunging backwards while charging up her arrow with her
energy.
"Typhoon Arrow!" Archer yelled out as he pulled
back and then released the arrow surrounded with blue swirling energy
towards Sakura.
Sakura released her arrow and it swirled with a
dark blue energy. "Hurricane!" she yelled out as soon as
she shot the arrow towards Archer.
The two attacks collided into
each other, but Archer's attack cancelled out Sakura's and flew
towards Sakura trapping her into a typhoon of water energy.
"Ah!"
Sakura yelled out as she got caught in the typhoon, it died down and
Sakura sat at the base of a tree all whirly eyed.
"Did anyone
get that licensee plate number of that bus?" Sakura
said.
Archer folded up his bow and put it away and walked over and
stared at Sakura. "You have to work on your attack more."
he said.
Sakura came back to her senses and got up and picked up
her bow. "Thanks for the tip, Archer, I'll work on it." she
said as she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She looked up at the
shadowy figure and yelled out to Archer. "Archer! It's the
Overlord!" she screamed out.
"Huh? Brother! Leave her
alone!" Archer yelled out as he lunged out towards him.
The
Overlord laughed to himself and held his hand up and sent Archer
flying into a tree.
"Archer!" Sakura yelled out.
The
Overlord wrapped his arm around Sakura's neck and started to choke
her.
"Finally, I will have the ultimate power of the
universe." he said as he laughed and kept tighten his grip
around Sakura's neck.
"Kain...please help..." Sakura
said as she started to run out of breath.
"Ahhh!" Kana
yelled out as she had hit the back of the Overlord and then using her
hammer to trip him.
He had let go of Sakura once he was hit in the
back.
Sakura fell to the ground breathing heavily.
The Overlord
got back up and turned around and stared at Kana with his cold, dark
eyes covered by the shadow of this face.
Kana jerked back her
hammer and stood in a fighting stance ready to fight him as the
Overlord lunged forward at her.
"I can't do this...KAIN!"
Kana yelled out.
Sakura slowly looked up at the Overlord and saw
him lunging at Kana.
"Kain! Help!" she yelled out.
All
of a sudden the Overlord found himself blocked by two familiar
faces.
"Kain? Archer?" He said backing off on us.
"Yup,
that's us." Archer said.
"You leave my sister alone you
low life bastard!" I said getting into a stance.
Kana opened
her eyes to find Archer and I both in fighting stances ready to take
on the Overlord.
"Kain, thanks, now let me return the favor,"
Kana said smiling and walking up beside Archer and getting into a
fighting stance.
Sakura got up and knocked an arrow on her bow
and aimed it at him in the back of the neck.
"The next move
you make, well be your last." she said.
The Overlord was
surrounded by the four of us.
He laughed to himself and jumping
into the air.
"Oh no, you don't." I said as I also
jumped into the air.
"Huh?" said both Kana and
Sakura.
"Where did Dad and the Overlord go to?" Sakura
said.
I had jumped higher than the Overlord and then did a
flip-kick to his face and repeatlly flip-kicked him here than
me.
Then once I almost had flip-kick for the last time, he had
a dark energy ball formed in his hands and then he launched it at me
and I got hit and got sent down to the ground and hit the ground. I
stood back up and waited for another attack from him as he flew down
towards me with another dark energy ball in his hands.
Before he
had reached me an arrow had pierced though his arm and made him lose
the energy ball as he stopped in mid-air and looked around.
"Got
ya!" I said as I lunged forward and disappear as a magical
circle appear below the Overlord and he couldn't move.
I had
reappeared with six other clones of myself standing in the magical
circle. Then all the clones and I jumped into the air being followed
by golden light and then we all disappeared again and the light
surrounded him, the a golden dragon appeared in our place and as the
light had died down and started to attack the Overlord. The dragon
attack the Overlord with all of it's power, then it flew up high into
the air and flew back down towards the Overlord with extreme speed
readying it's right claw and executed a powerful Claw Strike, that
sent the Overlord to the ground. The dragon then flew towards the
ground, disappearing. I had reappeared be hide the Overlord, kneeling
on the ground, breathing heavily.
"That's what I call the
Dragon Halo's Strike," I said getting up and turning to the
Overlord.
He got up with a torn and tattered up cloak with
scratches all over his body. "I have to admit that you have
defeated me this time, but next with be your last and the girl will
be mine!" he said laughing to himself as he pointed to
Sakura.
"That's it!" I said running towards him and
jumping high into the air and forcing my staff down before hitting
him.
"Kain, don't be stupid!" Archer said.
"Kain!"
Sakura yelled out in tears.
"Kain! Stop!" Kana
yelled.
"Your going to die!" I said before I struck
him.
The Overlord laughed to himself and sent an energy blast to
my gut, knocking me down to the ground.
He laughed again to
himself and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
I laid on the
ground, not moving an inch from the blast, while Sakura and Kana came
running over to me. Sakura kneeled on the ground, putting my head in
her lap as Kana took my hands into hers.
"Kain, wake up,
please," Kana said, trying to hold back her tears.
"Huh?
What? Where is he?" I said while I tried to get up, but fell
back into Sakura's arms. I looked up at Sakura, then over to
Kana.
"Hey there, Kain. Are you okay?" Sakura asked.
"I
think so, but just a bit scratched up and thinking why he would want
you for. I don't want the most precious thing taking a way from me,"
I said.
"Thanks, Kain. I care for you too," she said
with a smile.
"I'm glad you are all right," Kana said.
Archer stood there, not moving just fixed on something.
"What's
with you, Archer?" I asked, as I looked at him.
"There's
something different about the Overlord. It felt as through that
wasn't him that you fought, but someone disguised as him,"
Archer said still fixed on the subject.
"Huh? What makes you
think of that?" I asked him again.
"For one there was no
medallion on his chest once you got rid of some of his cloak and
secondly that blast that he shot you with, you would of been part
into stats-lock," He said looking at me.
"Beep, Beep,
Beep, Beep!" an alarm went off.
"That's my M.E.S.T
(Monster Energy Signal Transmitter)," Kana said taking it out
and scanning the area with it. Her eyes widen in fear and looked at
me.
"Kain, you wouldn't believe what I just found out,"
she said.
"What is it?" I asked as I was helped up by
Sakura.
"Look at this," Kana said as she walked over to
me and showed me the scanner. "Look at the Overlord's energy
scan and then look at the monster from before," she added.
"So?
They look almost the same," I said.
Kana looked at me with a
dirty look on her face.
"Look again. And tell me if they
aren't the same or not," she said.
I took at look at the
scanner and read both of the readings.
"Your right, Kana.
They do look almost the same," I said handing back to her.
"I
told you so," Kana said, taking it back.
"She's right,
Kain," Archer said.
"So? I still think that they didn't
look alike when I first saw them," I said. Both Kana and Archer
shot me the dirtiest look ever.
"What!" I
said.
They continued to stare at me and Sakura giggled and we all
went back to the workshop for some rest.
Archer stopped and told
Kana that he had to speak with her.
"Yes, Archer?" Kana
asked.
"We are going to figure out who or what this monster
is," he said.
"Yes, we are," Kana said as she and
Archer followed Sakura and I to the workshop.
