OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOK

This is a bit late. I wrote it, and then the computer no longer worked so I could not upload, and now the AOL doesn't work, so I had to switch back to the computer that I started writing NDS on. It seems odd that this is what happened. That I'm back at the same computer while writing the end when it's been a year and etc.

Anyway, let's just finish this fight

OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOK

Jet gave a piercing stare to Gear. "I won't play games with you any longer. You laugh because you fail to see just how serious this all is."

Gear tilted his head to the side. "Pheh. We'll see."

It was quiet for a moment. Jet took the initiative and dashed forward before breaking into a jump. From the air he sent his right Raven Phoenix Wing into a vertical slash directed to Gear. "Raven's Beak!" The wing produced a surge of air in a dart-like shape that hit the ground throwing Gear into the hull of the SAND once again.

Standing on his legs again, the dazed Gear is swung upon by Jet with the wing, slashing up Gear's shirt and body with the sharp feathers. Anticipating another attack, but not having the power to move yet, Gear staggered back instead.

Jet quickly flung out his left hand to grab Gear by the head, his fingers wrapped around partially. It was enough to have some sort of hold on it. Without wasting time Jet flung Gear away from the ship a good distance. "Raven's Twister!" Jet declared. He had swirled his wing about in circles and now unleashed a vertical tornado of air that ripped up the grass it traveled upon. The still airborne body of Gear is caught by the attack and sent even further from where he started.

Gear finally landed in a heavy flop. Gripping the grass blades as he stood, Gear gave a glare Jet's way. He was in a state of disbelief. He thought to himself, trying to figure out how Jet could already know how to wield his new power and even hold new attacks to boot. "Jet Enduro..."

Jet walked calmly after Gear. His wing stretched out at the side.

"I'm not letting you win!" Gear declared. "You should know that now."

Jet continued his walk.

Nervously, Gear stretched out his arms. "Neutral Cannon, Burst!"

Jet launched his body over the beam attack easily. In air, Jet's right Raven Phoenix wing expanded in size as a left wing produced itself as well around his extended arm. Covering his body the shape continued until it was the outline of a bird.

"Separated for too long," he spoke. "Raven's Wings!" A simple action of a flap from the two wings sent Gear flying up into the air twenty feet and continuing in a distance of thirty.

The height at which Gear fell, and the velocity, caused the copy to break his left shoulder when it touched the ground on landing. The injured Gear agonized over his new predicament. From the corner of his eye he watched Jet without the shape of a bird, but still retaining his right wing, walking after him again in a calm and slow manner.

It angered Gear, but he still had hope. "It's...almost time," he remarked, "Just...five more minutes."

Staggering to his feet, Gear put hope in the fact that he would be full-strength again in five minutes. All he had to do was buy that much time for himself. It was possible.

Gear watched the approaching enemy. "Raven's Wing, it was only the right wing of this power. It was only a piece of something better," he observed.

The carpenter with a wing looked at Gear with a neutral gaze. "Let fate now cast it's die for you." Dashing forward, Jet swings his wing, only for Gear to jump back in time.

"Tiger's Gale Fist!"

The attack sent at a downward angle pummels Jet to the ground quickly, without wasting any time. Gear grinned in satisfaction, but saw the winged-man stand up unharmed with a cool head on his shoulders.

Gear bit his lip. "Bomb Melee, Burst!"

"Raven's Shield!"

The attack on the ground was in time to block for Jet the multiple balls of neutral energy. A wave of energy came from Gear as an attack, but Jet placed his wing in the way and blocked it easily. Jet kicked off from his spot in a launch forward at Gear.

"Rage Swipe!" The left hand of Jet knocked Gear backwards. It was unexpected of Jet at this point to not use the wing, but he did anyway.

A growl escaped Gear. With only two minutes left he had to buy more time. The copy sent a melee of punches forward that Jet backed away from or blocked.

Jet quickly swung his wing at Gear who moved away in time to not be hit full-on, but was still grazed on his left arm, but that arm was useless to him at the moment anyway. It had even made his attacks weaker.

Jet flung his body forward though as Gear recovered, and a patented head attack hit right into Gear's chest. "Raven's Wing!" With a swing the injured Gear was flung further, landing on the ground once more.

Jet charged after Gear, who had stood up already. "Neutral Cannon, Burst!"

The attack hit the ground, creating a wall to block Jet, so the carpenter with a wing jumped back from the attack until it was safe again. Through the grayish white of the dispersing energy, he heard the guttural laugh of Gear.

"Twilight Moon restores me my strength!" he informed Jet. It was now that Jet could view Gear, who began to glow a dark purple, no doubt being the Twilight Moon beginning its task. Gears' delighted eyes stared right into Jet's own. "For all your words and actions, the people of the planet end up helping me."

"They help me as well!" Jet fought, as the purple glow left Gear. His left shoulder mended and any other wounds gone to him now. Raising his wing to his side, Jet rotated it quickly. "Raven's Cyclone!" With a horizontal swing, the wing produced swirling winds that formed a horizontal tornado shape. It moved like a serpent dragon with speed, as it hit Gear who blocked it with his arms.

"Pathe—huh?" Gear's eyes focused on something in front of him that suddenly appeared, stopping his words.

Jet grinned at him as he landed inside the Cyclone, his back to where he was, and his eyes set on Gear. "Let's meet another time." Jet remarked, bringing his wing upward and to his right side. The wing became a bright light blue that blinded Gear.

When Gear could see again, he watched as the zanbato Raven's Wing was gripped firmly by Jet's right hand. With no hesitation, no more remarks, Jet swung the blade and cleaved Gear in two. The Raven's Cyclone that Gear had been blocking scattered the body parts into it as they showered the area in red.

The wind died as Jet rested his right arm at his side, letting the zanbato Raven's Wing return to it's katana shape.

There was a moment as Jet watched the setting sun ahead of him in the distance. His weight fell to his front as he fell to the ground unconscious.

OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOK

I was sort of late on getting this done. I finally finished though.

Just so you know, so there are no misunderstandings, in the end when Jet cut Gear in two, he did have his arm back, and the Raven's Wing was a sword again. I won't explain how or why, because there is no reason. Just go with it. I made it so it doesn't really make that much sense and can be explained. I also did not do it just for some sort of happy ending where he has his arm back. I just did it.

Besides, what good would a one-handed carpenter have been anyway? It'd be hard to do, if possible.
