Light And Dark HikariKoi

Chapter 3: Power! Battle! Rivals!

A cold wind blew across the grassy flower field as it was about to become a battle field. The grass and flowers shifted uneasy as the cold wind blew through and the sky began to turn to a misty dark silhouette of shrouded shadows and black and white clouds crashed together! The two girls stood their distance apart and both could only see the dark outlined silhouette of the other. Slowly step by step they made their way to the center of the field and to each other. Their horses began to whinny wildly on the side lines of the field. Chii's eyes glistened as she made her way over, she was wearing white long pants and a white and baby blue long sleeve top with a sky blue silk ribbon woven through the front and back of her shirt. She also wore white and golden boots with golden chains and charms draped around the boots and matching ones around her waist. Her hair was tied back into two long braids and pulled behind her in a ponytail so not to get in her way. Lastly she wore a long silk white hooded cape over her head and a silk mask like cloth over her noise and mouth. So only her shimmering brown eyes peered through! Surprisingly Freya wore the same outfit! Yet Chii wore hers with white, golden and light blue. But Freya wore shades of black, silver and dark midnight blue. Her hair was also in long braids and pulled back and she wore black boots with silver chains and charms over them and draped over her curved waist. She also wore a silk black hooded cape over her head and a silk mask like cloth over half of her face. Yet only her eyes shown through out to Chii. The two girls stopped only a few feet from each other in the center of the field. They met eye to eye, only their eyes glimmered through and their capes flew gracefully in the cold wind. A gust of cold wind surrounded them, rustling everything around them and the sun seemed to hide and disappear into nothing leaving everything in darkness.

"So you are the sun goddess of Hikari, I presume!" Freya shot out.

"Yes, so this would make you moon goddess of Koi!" Chii shot back.

"Well then, it will be a pleasure to fight you and I wont go easy on you. And I intend to win! But why are you hiding behind a mask? It is rather annoying, or better yet I will enjoy shredding it off and revealing your true face!" Freya said with utter confidence as she drew her sword from its sheath within her silver belt.

"My thoughts exactly!" Chii said also drawing her sword as well.

A spark light in their eyes and the battle was off! Their swords clashed and a flash of lighting struck down to the earth and they were divided apart. Again and again they swung their swords at each other . Each and every blow very cut throat, as the wind swirled around them. Chii tried to strike Freya with her sword but at the last minute Freya blocked it and aimed her sword straight at Chii's heart! Rip! plip plip. Red hot blood bleed onto the green grass staining it a brownish-red color. Yet luckily Chii was able to pull back at the last second and barely avoid a direct blow to her chest by Freya. Instead her sword sliced into the flesh of Chii's upper arm. Chii stepped back wincing in pain as she put her hand over her open bleeding wounded arm.

Freya perked her head up and straightened her posture and looked over at Chii with a blank stare. "Had enough yet? I told you I wouldn't go easy on you. You should just give up now, I'll grant you a quick painless death, I would rather let you live I am not fond of killing. But I was ordered to kill you!" Freya said coldly yet her voice had some sympathy in it. The wind picked up and blew her hair and cape towards Chii.

The cold wind cut into her open wound which made it sting and hurt much more. "Not a chance I am not giving up and who said you are going to win and kill Chii. I say the game has only begun!"
Chii said confidently.

Freya looked at her in shock and then smiled. "Hmmm, you have a lot of guts! Or maybe you are just wishfully thinking. Either way…I like it. This will be very interesting!" Freya mocked.

Chii let go of her throbbing bleeding arm and gripped her sword tight and flew out at Freya clashing swords once again pushing her back. Even with her injury she had so much power, she kept charging Freya leaving her at a standstill where she could only defend. Finally Freya saw a chance and took it, In a final clash of their swords they pushed at each other and nether would give in. when a sudden burst of lighting stuck down against their swords forcing them apart and their swords flew across the field each on opposite sides landing blade first into the ground. Shakily they both stood to their feet, after being blow feet apart from the other by the shock of lighting that would kill any normal human.

"Not…not to bad Miss. Sun goddess!" Freya huffed.

"Not to bad yourself…" Chii huffed back.

Somehow they were both enjoying their good challenge full battle against each other. Freya stood her ground and stared into Chii's eyes. "but enough playing around its time to get serious…show me everything you have!" Freya shouted and began to run toward Chii to attack her.

And Chii held her ground even though her eyes trembled at the tremendous power of her opponent, she had to be ready for anything. The thought crossed her mind when she noticed Freya was pulling in large amount of energy. "So, we resort to spells and magic! Fine by me!"

Freya jumped into the air above Chii and a little in front of her, as she raised her hands to the sky above her head into a fist. She open her hand out flat into a blade and sifted slashed down toward Chii as she screamed, "GinKinu!" And suddenly out of her bladed hand shot Hundreds of strands of Silver Silk shot out at Chii. Freya's Silver Silk Constricted Chii As Freya landed behind her, Chii Struggled to break free but to no avail and Freya just looked at her in amusement.

"You wont break free…That Silk is made of pure Silver and you cant break it restrained the way you are!" Freya said and looked disappointed. She shook her head and sighed crossing her arms, "I guess you were really all talk!"

Chii Struggled again but the Silk would get tighter and tighter with every movement. "Y…you think you've won? Don't underestimate me!" Chii Said with a stern look and her eyes shot daggers at Freya, as suddenly Chii's body began to emit a bright golden color. "Hiraita…" Chii said. The silk around here broke and disintegrated into nothing.

Freya stood shocked at her stubbornness but was somewhat happy it wasn't over yet. She Smiled at Chii,

" So you used Release…"

Chii quickly jumped away from Freya, "See don't count me out just yet!" Chii said.

Freya smirked, "Wouldn't Dream of it!" She said looking down at the ground.

Chii lifted both her arms and hands to the sky as a bolt of lighting struck down a distance behind her. The wind swirled around her as Chii softly looked up at the sky. Her gaze became more intense but her expression stayed mellow and depressing, "Yaraiku! She Shouted to the heavens as another flash of lighting struck above her this time where Freya shielded her eyes from the blinding light. In Chii's hands formed an archery bow of light, Chii framed the bow toward Freya and pulled back on the bows string where an arrow of light appeared directed straight at Freya. She released her first arrow at her and when Freya sensed it coming she jumped aside and the bright light from Chii softened so now Freya could see. But a bit too late Chii began to bombard Freya with countless light arrows to where she could barely jump and dodge the speed of each arrow coming at her.

Freya finally found a pattern and an opening in Chii's attacks and took it. "Keibido!" Freya shouted stopping in her place. She waved her hands to the side and above her as a silvery blue shield arose around her. Chii stopped her attack when she saw it was pointless and Freya lowered her shield. "Well I see you want to get serious now, don't you!" Freya said

"Well you did say, "Show some real power" Right, then lets see it!" Chii said.

Freya smiled and jumped into the sky and swirled her arms and body around gracefully which summoned the wind and air and kept her floating in the sky. Things became much colder suddenly as an icy wind came from Freya, lighting crashed the sky over and over and then cold rain began to fall down hard. "Korirashi." Freya said in a loud voice glaring down coldly at Chii as she became drenched in the lashing rain. Freya had summoned the powers of ice and snow as her hands open in front of her at Chii, large and many pieces of ice mixed and mingled with snow balls formed and were hurled at her.

'Damn, there's no way I can avoid something this big…unless…I have to try it's the only way!' Chii thought to her self. Chii breathed in and raised her arms before her and made the sign for fire. "Kajiku!" Chii shouted and from her hands came a flare of fire and that spark turned into a fire typhoon, which charged the ice and snow coming for her. They collided and blasted into nothing in the sky.

Freya landed back onto the ground, but had trouble keeping her balance and so did chii. They were getting tired matching their powers against each other, they had their limits and they knew it. But they weren't going to give up they were fighting for their own reasons now. They were determined to keep going no matter what.

"Well I really haven't had a challenge liken this in a very long time! Honestly this is a lot of fun…but I feel bad it has to end so soon! You see I have something to get to and it would be rude of me to be late!" Freya said chuckling and stood up wobbling a little.

"I couldn't agree with you more. So then…lets finish this." Chii said standing up to.

Freya jumped back into the sky and waved her hands gracefully above her head gently swirling them down to her waist and back up to her chest. She stretched out her hands to Chii and looked at her with a blank stare in her eyes. "Hoshimeto…" She said softly. As she did suddenly a blank void appeared within her open arms where blades of shooting stars appeared out of the empty void. Like ninja star blades, they were swift and struck down at Chii. She dodged them left to right with speed and agility but the stars where fast just as fast as her arrows maybe faster and not to mention so was Freya.

Chii ran from the sharp star blades coming at her but the ground was soft from the rain which made it hard for her to run around. Freya had come back down to the earth and began to chase after Chii pulling star after star blade at her. 'This is so stupid…I'm just running around! I have to fight back!' Chii thought. Then she found a chance a took it. She turned around now facing Freya head on, Freya unleashed another round of star blades. They came closer and closer and they were only inches away…"Keibido!" Chii yelled and a up rose golden shield around her. Freya stopped attacking and stood a few feet away from the shield. She knew…then attack was very close cut it was a risky last resort move, she pulled her guard shield up at the last second from her star shoot blades. There was no way…

The golden shield vanished in a sparkling light and…there she stood smiling. "Looks like I win this round!" Chii laughed sweetly.

Freya was in complete and utter shock. "B…but that's impossible. Y…you how could you…my stars came so close!" Freya stuttered in disbelief with a cracked sound in her voice.

Chii looked at her then winked and put her finger to her lips, "And that would be my secret!" She said flashing a large smile at Freya both still socking wet from the pouring rain.

Freya uncontrollable for some reason smiled back at her. And for a second her body trembled to how she reacted to Chii's smile. She put her hand against her mouth and her eyes gazed blankly at Chii. 'Why? Why did I did I smile back? She is my rival my enemy! So why does it feel like I know her like I shouldn't fight her…for a second I…' Freya thought to her self.

But by then it was to late. Freya's eyes shook violently as she looked at Chii. She never even realized that Chii was holding two of her star blades. "Looks like the surprise is on you. These are yours, I think you should have them back now!" She held up the two large star blades holding the center in her hand as she whirled them upon her hand.

She spun them and threw them back to Freya with a spin and a fast swift motion but Freya was in total shock and was unable to realize what was happening. Her lighting fast star blades were being used against her. Truly she had never met anyone like her. But it was to late. Rip "Ahhhhh…" Freya screamed. 'I…I cant believe it the stars…my stars…she used them at me.' Freya thought. Chii had thrown the star blades back and they sliced into her arm and waist. She held them throbbing in pain as hot red bloody ran onto her hands. "You…how…" She muttered breathing hard as her vision blurred a bit wincing out at Chii she noticed something.

"I…I told you not to underestimate me!" Chii huffed placing her hand onto her upper thigh. Both Chii's leg and hand were bleeding. The blood rushed through sliding down her hand as she winced from the pain running through her. Freya didn't notice right away that she did hit her mark.

'Just…one…only one…' Freya thought.

'O…only enough…for…' Chii thought.

'…for one more attack!' They both thought.

They both knew their powers were fading out and they were to a breaking point. It was the last stand the final attack they wound have to manage with every ounce of their strength…the final showdown! Who ever won this, won it all. Time seemed to stand still, even the lashing rain falling from the sky seemed like nothing. Their breathing was hard and heavy almost joined as one but it wasn't the end, nether of them where going to lose. Not now, not ever!

Freya looked up at Chii who looked like she was falling from the huge gash in her leg from her large star blade earlier. But she wasn't down yet, nether was Freya and the gash in her side was unbearably sharp with stabbing pain. "I…I had a lot of fun fighting you…" Freya said heavily trying to pull herself together.

Chii looked up from her throbbing pain in her leg to look at Freya. She smiled slightly, "Me too…" Chii said trying to not let her on to all the pain rushing through her leg. She trembled trying to get back up.

"…But it's time to end this…and do what I came to do. Its really a shame…you are truly a worthy opponent." Freya said wincing from the pain but it was now the end this last attack would decide it all. Freya looked out Chii and began to gather large amounts of the last of her power into her hands.

Chii looked out at Freya and for the strangest reason she felt like it was wrong, like they should stop this…but that wasn't going to happen. She made a promise, and it came before her feelings and thoughts. "Alright then…lets finish this with one last attack." Chii said as she closed her eyes and gathered energy for this last chance…this last shot that would decide all!

They began to move back taking their distance, Freya looked out at Chii and seemed sad for no reason. She closed her eyes reaching out her hands in front of her and concentrated harder as she began to chant. "Oh lords of night and darkness, grant me power and strength as I call upon the' as you gather into my unworthy hands…"

In the last attempt Chii began to chant as well. "I call upon you masters of day and light may we walk this path together grant your powers to my unworthy hands…"

Freya opened her eyes and the wind a rain swirled around her fiercely as she yelled out, "Kageruta!"

Chii opened her eyes as well and the wind and rain cycled around her as she called out, "Hiketaru!"

At the same time a giant ball of energy began to form in the hands of Chii and Freya. Within Freya's hands swirled the large silvery blue and black energy ball. And Chii held one colored White and golden. Each began to grow twice its size in seconds, becoming much larger then their holders. Chii and Freya were using all their strength in holding their attack and then… "Hiraita!" They both screamed out and their energy blasts were released into two blinding beams. The two blasts collided together in the center of the field, pushing Freya and Chii back. But they held on till the very end forcing the beams at each other. Then the forces became to great and formed a great explosion that could be seen miles away in the kingdoms of Hikari and Koi.

The field became shrouded in mist from the rain and dark clouds of dust and dirt. The rain sill fell down heavily from the sky and the lighting and thunder flashed and rang through the heavens. Everything began to settle so something could be seen, and where Chii and Freya once stood was an enormous crater that took up almost the entire large field. Yet Chii and Freya were nowhere in sight, there was a eerie silence in the air that hovered over the misty destroyed field and all that could be heard was the sound of the pouring rain. Suddenly out of nowhere Chii and Freya appeared dropping right out of the sky, diving down for their swords still engraved in the earth opposite each other from the beginning of their battle. Diving in they grabbed their swords and used every bit of their strength to kick off of ground at each other to meet in the center of the space that was not destroyed into the crater. Both Freya and Chii were in shock and exhausted from their final magic attack that didn't take either of them out, but they were weakened much more then they were before if that was possible. They could barley stand on their two feet when they lashed out at each other clashing their blades, reaching out they aimed their sword at each others heart. Their swords only inches away as they strike like a viper on its pray…Shripp. They landed back to back and clenched their swords tight and for a few seconds they just stood there like time itself stood still.

The rain fell down drenching them within it and then both Chii and Freya's hooded capes fell off followed by the silk cloths over their faces. At the very last second before they made their strike they moved over and the tips of the blades hit the side of their faces and cut off their masks and capes. Trickles of blood ran and fell from the sides of their pale white peachy faces from the cut place there by the other. They were breathing heavily and they knew this was it, no more. Every once of strength was use and they couldn't go on, it was over the out come of this battle was a draw…Freya motioned slowly to turn around and so did Chii. Finally they were to truly meet face to face! In this battle they were equal, in life they were more alike then they thought. A crash of lighting rang from the heavens and fell to the earth lighting the field in a blaze.

"No…" Freya began

"…Way!" Chii finished.

They both stood frozen face to face in total disbelief and shock. They were so much more alike then they could ever think…believe…comprehend…or imagine! A mirror image of another world and pair of queens!
