Chapter Eight:
Gaignan Vs. Albedo
"Well, act first, talk later?" Albedo laughed "Fine by me!" he created a dagger and threw it at Gaignan.
"Using my own move against me? That's not going to work!" he grabbed the dagger out of the air and was about to throw it back, when it exploded. Gaignan was sent flying back. "So... you changed it. No matter... I can change it too!" Gaignan created a dagger, but he formed his hands around it, as if it was a sheath, and pulled the dagger from it. As the dagger came out, it elongated, becoming an energy sword. "Now... let's try this again!" he ran towards Albedo.
"Ha! We'll see who's weapon is better..." giving his hands a jerk, he created multiple daggers and began throwing them like crazy at his approaching brother. Gaignan swung his sword where ever needed, blocking all of the daggers. Some of them exploded on his sword, but he never stopped. When he was within range, he jumped up and slashed down with his sword. Albedo, amazingly, parried the strike with his dagger. Creating another one in his hand, he moved to stab Gaignan but he striked up, causing Albedo's other dagger to go up, allowing him to parry the other attack. Jumping back, Gaignan rushed forward, with his sword directly in front of him. Albedo took both his daggers in front of him, creating an X and slashed upwards, causing the sword to miss it's mark. Still in the motion of slashing upwards, Albedo brought a dagger behind him and threw it at Gaignan. He threw his sword at it, and the dagger exploded, destroying the sword.
Gaignan then ran towards Albedo charging energy in his hands, creating somthing like boxing gloves. Albedo, who saw this coming, created a glove of his own, and blocked the punch. Gaignan, not wasting a moment, tripped Albedo, and punched down, but missed.
"Not fighting fair now are we brother?" Albedo jumped back, taking a breather.
"Look who's talking... taking my wife and child from me." he was breathing hard from the fight. Rushing back forward, Gaignan kept his arms down, to keep Albedo guessing. It worked, he stepped in and kicked his shin, then went in for an uppercut. Albedo went flying back, but got up instantly.
"This pain feels great!" he laughed manically. "Keep it coming Nigredo!" he ran back to Gaignan, jumping in for a punch, but he did something Albedo didn't expected. He shot out one of his gloves, straight at him. Even at such a far distance, Albedo could feel it's power. He dropped his guard for a second, but then knew what to do. He quickly jumped over the glove, landing behind Gaignan. They both turned at the same time, each with their glove at the other's face.
"Touche..." Gaignan muttered. "Looks like we're even..."
"We'll never be even!" cackled Albedo "Don't tell me you've forgotten! I've got nothing to lose! Say you're prayers Nigredo... you're dead." and both of them shot out their gloves at each other. Albedo's laughter filled the room, and as the smoke cleared on Albedo's half, there he stood, fully regenerated.
