Chapter 2: Duel! N00b vs. Saint
"WHAT? We have to fight that thing?"
"Yes. You do."
By thing, Bann meant the towering monstrosity that towered high over the city. It was of an enormous black shape, human-like, with black wings that blacked out the little light coming from the moon and stars. Light seemed to fear it. Even the fires stayed far out of its reach, adding to the mystery of the beast.
"How am I supposed to fight that thing!"
"Its just a Creature. You remember training, don't you? Find the one who unleashed it and defeat him."
"Right," Bann stated as he quickly headed off. Dodging flames and ruins, he made his way to the heart of the attack.
"$+0p r!gh+#3r3 #umn!"
"Oh no!" Bann was now face to face with a N00b. Their language was strange and irritating, mixed with a strange gurgle that was heard all about Foreckids.
"Y0u $#11 n0+ p$$ #3r3. ! $umm0n Makyura the Destructor!" A dark warrior, bearing a single golden eye on its forehead arose from shadow. It bore 3 claws on each hand. "Y0u cnn0+ d3f3+ my m0n$+3r!"
"Oh yes I can! Arise Gearfried and Dark Blade, my mighty knights!"
Arising from the shadow came a bright light, followed by two knights, clad in black armor. One bore two shields, one on each arm. His armor was vast, strong, and enduring. He seemed unaffected by its weight, however, his strength seemed contained. The other held a sword in each hand. Silver spikes covered the darkness around him that flowed off with a black and red cape.
"Gearfried, attack!"
"Makyura, d3f3nd!"
"Your Makyura is no match for Dark Blade," exclaimed Bann. He was right. Dark Blade easily cut down the dark warrior. "Now Gearfried. Attack his soul!"
"N0+ $0 f$! c!v+3 +rp. Sakeretsu Armor! De$+r0y h!$ Gearfried!"
Spiny armor grew around the N00b as Gearfried attacked. The iron-clad knight would surely be destroyed.
"Dark Blade. Use the power of your Metalsilver Armor!" Dark Blade's armor began to glow at Bann's command. The spines shrank around the N00b, giving Gearfried a clear shot. However, using this power came at a cost. Dark Blade was destroyed.
"N0! I Call the Haunted bck +0 +#3 f!31d." Makyura reappeared.
"I defeated him once. I shall do it again. Now, Gearfried, I release you!" Casting a Spell, Gearfried's armor cracked, revealing a long haired and muscular man. "I now give you Excalibur," Bann yelled, casting another Spell that caused brought forth a sword of great power to the field. Gearfried grabbed the sword with both hands, doubling his power. He then took a mighty swing at Makyura. Makyura shattered once again, in shadow. "Now Gearfried, attack!" Gearfried lifted the great sword once again, heaving it into the heart of the N00b.
The N00b's soul shattered as he screamed in agony. His entire body tearing apart from within. "AHHHH! I+ burn$. Mke + $+0p! Ahhhhh!"
"May you rest in pieces…" Bann turned from the sight and headed for the tower.
