A World Deep in Disorder

Chapter Six: Michelus' battle, repel or succumb?

Kyle/ Alyssa saga chapter IV:

…Last time: Kyle went to Alyssa's mansion in the morning using the secret passage she set up for him, so that her father wouldn't know. They talked, and watched the sunrise together, before Kyle had to leave, due to the fact that Alyssa's father would've seen the two friends, had Kyle stayed any longer. Kyle then got into a skirmish with his brother, and came out on top. Alyssa's dad told her to stay in her room all day, and to not go to school. It was then that Ace came through the town gates, demanding that they hand over Kyle. Though the village accepted the offer, Michelus promptly refused. Transforming into his Bowser form, which was large, with brown flame-like hair, steel blue eyes, and silver color elsewhere, he engaged himself in battle with Ace's sheikah form. As the first crack of thunder broke the eerie silence, Ace made the first move…

Ace ran forward, and seemingly disappeared in midair. He then reappeared behind Lord Michelus, who closed his eyes, and smirked. Ace took out his twin shamshir (If you've played fire emblem, you'll know what they are. They're like scimitars, but cooler), and swung the first at the lord at blinding speeds. With much more agility than normally expected of a bowser form, Michelus jumped over the blow, and turned around in midair to face Ace. Ace didn't waste any time swinging his second blade, which Michelus caught between his great claws. However, Ace took this moment to swing the first blade back up. Michelus was stabbed straight in the chest. Grimacing, Michelus tore the blade out, and instantly breathed blue lightning (Which for some reason has nearly the same effect as flame) at Ace's face. Ace now had a severely charred face. Michelus had a bloody stab wound in his chest. All this happened in the course of three seconds.

Ace smirked. "I've been thirsting for an opponent of your calibur for quite some time, now…this will be interesting." He said, not seeming to care in the least that his face was completely scorched black. "Good, enjoy it while you can, 'cause you won't be alive for any more!" Michelus exclaimed, running forwards, not caring about his wounds, either. He ran straight forward, in the hopes to catch Ace off guard and bash his skull in. However, Ace was far too quick, he jumped onto Michelus' head, kicked off of it, propelling himself high into the air, and threw some shuriken down at Michelus, who melted them with his lightning breath.

When the sparks cleared, Ace was already rushing for Michelus, who was actually running to attack Ace as well, with his horns out like a bull, and was gaining momentum rapidly as he ran. Ace expected this, and jumped up in the air, with his blades, ready to embed them into Michelus' brain. However, Michelus expected this in advance, so he did something unsuspected. He burrowed underground.

Ace blinked. "He's tunneling…underground…? That's an original and highly effective strategy…" He muttered to himself. Suddenly, Michelus came up behind him, and delivered a lightning-encased fist to the back of Ace's skull. This sent Ace reeling, but he managed to spin around in midair, and throw some needles at Michelus. Michelus breathed up a massive ball of lightning, and shot it at Ace, making a deafening crackling noise as it flew. The needles had no chance of stopping the massive thunder sphere, but went right through it, instead.

The ball of lightning hit Ace, and exploded, while the needles embedded themselves into Michelus' chest, near his other wound. After the smoke cleared, only a scorched black crater remained of Ace. Michelus, transformed back into his human form, and lay down on the ground, severely wounded, breathing heavily. He still had a bloody wound in his side, and needles embedded near it. Kyle ran from his house, and to his uncle's side.

"Uncle Michelus… are you…ok?" Kyle asked. Lord Michelus smirked, and the townspeople gathered around. "Nephew… it looks like battle took away my wife's life… and it'll soon take away mine…" He groaned. "What do you mean? You'll live, right?" Kyle asked. Michelus slowly shook his head, and showed Kyle the needles that stuck in him. They were a shining platinum color, and were tipped with an oozing, bright green acid. "These weren't ordinary needles that he threw… they were platinum needles coating with a special acid… they've been rapidly eating my life away as soon as they connected…I'll die soon…" Michelus said, now in a whisper. He coughed up some blood, too. The other wound was NOT helping, and probably speeding up the process, too… The rain, which was intense during the battle, resumed to its softer and gentler state. The thunder and lightning softened, and the skies went from black, back to gray. Pretty much the same weather as before the battle began.

He then turned up to the townspeople. "I'll be dead…and the town will be without a protector. You must all be accepting of Kyle… he's not evil, and in short time, will take my place as a much greater warrior. Treat him as you treat the others, and he may even become town protector in my place. Otherwise… I'll come from the grave, and seek my vengeance upon you…" Michelus coughed, he then turned back to Kyle.

"My nephew…before I die, I have something very special to me that I wish to give you…" He began, taking off his shades, the ones that he was so famous for always wearing, revealing his steel blue eyes, which were becoming a tad clouded. "These shades… have accompanied me on all my adventures. I want you to have them. Treasure them dearly, and keep them always." Michelus managed to whisper, handing Kyle the shades. Kyle could only nod when he accepted the shades, as he was choked up for words. Tears were coming down his face, but he didn't make any sounds. One of the only two people in all of existence who cared about him was dying.

"Kyle…do not grieve for me…I was born before the age of the evolution, and I've lived longer than any human of the old time should… besides, my wife is waiting for me in the plan of those whose lives have ended." Michelus whispered, coughing up more blood. The acids on the needles were creating large puddles, now. He looked up at the sky, and breathed in sharply, and then out quickly. "Alice… Finally…I'll be with you again…" Michelus said in but a faint whisper, before breathing his last.

There was a five-minute pause. With his uncle's shades glistening in his hand, Kyle looked down at his uncle's body. "Goodbye…uncle." He said, with a small smile. He knew that his uncle was reunited with the one he loved most, now…

…Kyle then visited Alyssa later that day…

End of Chapter

Well, that ends the Final chapter of the first part of the Kyle/ Alyssa saga. Trust me, this saga has A LOT more to go around. This was only the tip of the iceberg. Now, we're going to move on to another character's saga. Who's will it be? Wait to find out. I might get an extra chapter in tonight. By the way, after next week, which is finals week for me, school is over. This will be my first summer actually writing fanfictions, so expect a lot of rapid-fire updates, then. This story will be long.

Until Next Chapter,
