Sorry for the late update. I wanted to do this over the weekend but writer's block and all that. Anyway, the battle between Josh and Co. and Chrono is underway. Let's take a look.

Chrono Crusade: The Two Worlds

Act Three, Scene Two: The Battle for Retribution

Both fighting parties were using every skill, strength and piece of knowledge they had to defeat one another. However it seemed that they were all at a standstill in power. Continuous shots of Gospels and Sacreds from the blond girl tried unsuccessfully to hit the enemy and while she was doing that Joshua and Chrono battled one another from the ground, to the sky, and to the ground again. While it was a standstill of power, each person in the battle was losing energy…and patience. Agreeing that they were making any headway, Joshua made his way to the girl while dodging Chrono's fatal attacks.

"We must think of another way, what we're doing now is useless. We'd be just using our energy and shots for nothing."

"I agree, but what can we do? If you can think about another plan that'd be great but if not then we're screwed!"

Joshua's mind started to race again. At this time, he would had thought of a plan by now because he was mostly good at it at times like these. However when he tried to think of one, he got nothing. Because of the lack of resources and time, it make it harder to formulate a plan. While doing this, the girl kept firing aimlessly to Chrono in turn he dodge the attacks. However with each missed shot, Chrono became more furious and frustrated.

"Uhhh, I've got nothing!" Joshua thought. "Gotta think of a plan, but what!"

"Try to thinking of something never done before!"

Joshua turned around but saw nothing.

"What? Who's there?"

"It's me."

"Who's me? Wait a sec, Arbitrator, is that you? Oh man, I'm glad I'm you're here. We're in trouble."

"Really…I haven't noticed."

"Shut up! Listen, what do you mean, 'try to think of something never done before'"

"Well…think first of your resources…then your skills…then you'll be able to formulate a plan of action. Well, mister leader, what are you're going to do?"

Joshua thought about it for a minute. Then he had an idea. An idea so radical and simple, that some people might thought of it as stupid and suicidal.

"Okay, I've got it."

Joshua shouted to the girl, "Hey sis, cover for me."

"That's what I've been trying to do ever since you'd ducked into that rock, what's the hold up!"

Chrono, seeing Joshua, smiled. "Well finally, now I can finish you off." He then prepared his assault by curving his hands in a V shape formation and concentrated his energy. Soon, a bright blue ball appeared. However, one of the scared shots got to him, disturbing the attack.

"Gahh! I'll get you, first."

Disappearing from the sky, both Joshua and the girl looked around. "Where'd he go?"

"Looking for me?"

The girl turned around but Chrono slashed her with his sword and she was flying into the air and dropped to the ground. The gun that she held dropped far away from her reach.

Chrono then started to advance towards her. "I'd intended to finish you off after your brother but since you've been annoying to me, I think I'll finish you right now." He gave an evil laugh and positioned himself for an energy attack.

"Take this, hellbound blast."

And with that, a blue bright energy ball went towards her. It looked like the end for her if it wasn't for Joshua, slashing the blast right back to Chrono. While stunned, Joshua dashed towards him, jumped up and slashed diagonal down then up in a V shape. With a piercing loud scream, Chrono stepped back four steps before crouching on one knee. It was clear that he was in great pain for at that moment his horns fell right off.

Well, is this really the end? Please R&R and I'll see you next time.
