Titanium Showdown: Tale of the Zero Clones
Chapter Eight: Circumstantial Luck
End was having a furious time trying to block the attacks his new opponent was throwing at him. The attacks all seemed to be one continuous motion, but at the same time this new reploid was doling out punishment to End, he was also dodging and attacking Whistler and Ashes. How he could do it, End was not sure. He fights like a demon! There's no stopping him… how…how can he anticipate all of our attacks at once? How can he do it at all!?
Sparks of electricity shot out in all directions as the Hunter blocked energy shots and End's sword; they singed and burned, but they did nothing to slow the fighting or help anyone gain the upper hand. It seemed a standstill for the longest time. Finally, after what seemed an interminable age to End, one of the sparks from a blocked energy shot blasted swiftly at Ashes. The Phoenix reploid didn't even have a chance to dodge; he was struck in the eye, and for the split second he was distracted, their opponent took hold of the situation.
With a single mad cut, the mysterious new clone sent an energy shot rebounding at Whistler –he was knocked out cold. The attacks against End redoubled, and he couldn't count how many times his opponent's sword moved. In the new flurry of attacks, End was severely wounded. He lost his sabre and he had a terrible gash down his right arm. The mixture of fluids curious to reploid bleeding clouded his eyes and he thought he would die, but he saw something in the Hunter he hadn't expected. His eyes seemed to scream for forgiveness, as one who is forced to do something against his will.
End lay still and motionless on the ground. He could see Whistler still breathing, but laboriously and his breath was short. The Hunter had struck down Ashes –the great bird writhed upon the ruins for a moment, and was at last still. End let his mind stray to the Hunter again, who was now bearing down upon him with sabre upheld. End saw the eyes again; they were still full of sorrow, and he imagined he even saw a tear well up for a moment.
The Hunter was about to strike. End tensed up, sensing the imminent blackness that would encompass his circuitry. Just as he thought the blade would slice him for the last time, he heard a familiar and fearful voice. "Stop." End looked up through his blood-covered eyes. He saw the Hunter staring somewhat confused and a little dazed at the newcomer. End raised his hand slowly and fired a single shot. The Hunter went out in an instant, and end looked over. He saw Sapphire standing afraid and confused in the heat, and he saw Hunter run up beside her, pause for a moment, and continue on towards him. As the blackness of fainting overwhelmed him, he thought he even saw Virus hobbling up as well, but he wasn't sure.
OMG! A Chapter! It's scary, I know, but I actually updated! You'd be surprised how much STUFF people can find for me to do around here…
