So sorry for the late update, school's been murder. Anyway thanks for all your reviews and Enjoy!
Lloyd's eyes were darting all around him, trying to find a weak spot in the surrounding soldiers, but it was no use. There wasn't a single weak area for him and Sheena to escape.
"Now, it's time for us to finish our business." Laughed Yggdrasil. "Time for you to meet the same fate as your worthless parents."
"Shut up!" Lloyd shouted, he felt like charging at the man insulting his parents, but knew better. If he attacked now, he would leave Sheena helpless. He was trying to try and think of a way out of this.
He laughed evilly, "Heh, you seem to have a high temper, much like your mother. Even Kratos couldn't keep her quit at times."
Lloyd growled in his throat. "I've got a proposition for you."
"If you're trying to offer yourself up in exchange for the girl forget it. You two are both too much of a nuisance to let either one of you live."
"I was thinking more along the line of a challenge."
He could tell this intrigued Yggdrasil, "A challenge?" he asked curiously.
"Yes, a challenge, and the winner gets control over the Angelus Soldiers."
"I assume you mean a battle to the death?" Lloyd nodded, "Why should I? I already have control over them, I have everything to lose and nothing to gain." Lloyd froze, he never thought of this, he just assumed he would accept out of pride.
"You can...you can have..." he couldn't think of anything.
"M-me..." stuttered a voice. Sheena had awoken, just to say these words, " You win...you get me." And she feinted again.
"No!" answered Lloyd but Yggdrasil was already laughing maniacally.
"You, I'll get you?" he laughed again, "The only person you ever loved, hmm." He thought about this, "Heh, why not? Fine, if I win, I get the girl, I'm sure that'll bring more pain to you than simply killing you."
"NO!" Lloyd yelled, "Yggdrasil, leave her out of this!"
"Too late now, she offered herself as a bargaining chip, and that's the only thing I'll accept now." Lloyd was not going to go ahead with this. "You've got to admit, it's your only hope to live."
"Grrr. Fine." He had no other choice. He wasn't going to lose. He could not lose! He walked towards the wall, in which some of the Angelus Soldiers had moved away from. He carefully placed her down, leaning against the wall.
He kissed he lips gently, and whispered, "I won't lose." He turned back to face Yggdrasil, to see him holding a large, purple broadsword, but he wasn't carrying that before. It was if it had just appeared out of nowhere. He picked up his swords from the floor, and readied himself for battle.
"Angelus Soldiers!" commanded Yggdrasil, "After this you will no longer listen to me. You will only obey he winner of this next battle."
"Understood." Answered all the soldiers in unison, still in the same, emotionless voice. Lloyd notice Lucrus in the mass.
'Don't worry Lucrus,' he thought to himself, "I'll get you back to normal.'
For what seemed like hours, both warriors just stared at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move. Then, without warning, Lloyd charged.
In no time at all he was upon Yggdrasil, and was swinging both his swords downwards. With surprising ease, Yggdrasil raised his giant sword and stopped his attack instantly.
"Ha! You'll have to do better than that!" laughed Yggdrasil.
"I intend to." And he brought back his swords and started swinging wildly at him from all angles.
Even though he was showing any kind of mercy in his ongoing onslaught, he was unable to land a single hit. Yggdrasil was fast enough to block every attack. He wasn't even showing any sign of weakness, he was smiling.
Realising he could stop any attack he threw at him, and jumped back, and slashed the floor, sending a powerful wave of energy at him. Yggdrasil just brushed it away with his swords as if it were nothing.
"Ha! Don't you get it yet?" he asked, laughing at how useless Lloyd's attacks were, "You can't beat me! Why would I order for the creation of ultimate warriors, and make them stronger than me?"
"Don't even try to play mind games with me Yggdrasil!" he replied angrily, "That's one thing my dad taught me how to fight."
"Believe what you wish, you'll see soon enough who's stronger." He grinned, "Besides, your father's training didn't save him or Anna, did it?"
At this taunt Lloyd charged again, but jumped before reaching him. He dived at him, with his swords in front. All he did was raise his sword, and blocked the attack, freezing him in mid air.
Lloyd landed and jumped back away from Yggdrasil. He waited for a few seconds, then charged once again.
"Oh, come on!" laughed Yggdrasil, "Try something different will you?"
"Thanks for the tip!" he answered. Just before reaching him, Lloyd dropped to the ground and slid under his legs. He quickly stood up and successfully struck his back. He then kicked him into a wall.
"Ah!" Yggdrasil cried in pain. He returned to his feet, no longer smiling. He had a look of fury on his face. "That's it, I've played with you long enough!" He charged.
In no time at all, he was upon Lloyd. He swung his sword down, and Lloyd was only just able to block it, but was unable to block his horizontal attack. It cut him across the chest. It wasn't a fatal blow, but it was enough to send him flying into the wall.
Lloyd was in immense pain. He looked up to see Yggdrasil walking towards him, ready to finish him off.
And there you have it. Cliff hanger I know, but I'll try to update soon.
