A World Deep in Disorder
(Oops, I accidentally put A World Embroiled in Chaos in the above last chapter… sorry)
Chapter Seventeen: Demon in the FogYeah…I was busy today, too… but expect uber rapid-fire updates from 20th-28th. Yes, this story is going to be long, hopefully/probably longer than last one.
DISCLAIMER: Refer to Chapter Nine's Disclaimer.
Last Time: The two found the remains of a town destroyed by the rogues much earlier…so they decided to walk through the night, and reached the great plains outside the forest. However, it wasn't long before a huge blanket of fog rolled over the land and engulfed them.
Kyle/Alyssa Saga Chapter XI:
Of course, it didn't take the two long to determine that this wasn't natural fog."Heheh… It looks like the two of you have fell into my trap…" A voice echoed. "What the? …Alyssa?" Kyle asked. There was no reply. Looking all around, he could not hear or see Alyssa. Then, using his adept eyes to peer into the unbelievably thick fog, he saw a figure composed of entirely blue flames, and stood at about eight feet tall. "Damn you… I…hate…you…all…" The figure bellowed.
'What's up with him?' Kyle thought, transforming into his Young Link form, and rushing at the form. He looked at the form. "…Pure hatred." Kyle muttered. "Something with an unbelievably high amount of hatred has roamed here recently." Kyle muttered, slashing his blade at the mighty entity. "All shall suffer!" The being yelled, drawing his own weapon: A mighty five or six foot long cutlass with a golden hilt, and a silver blade. The mighty cutlass and the gilded sword clashed.
…Elsewhere…
Alyssa blinked, and when she opened her eyes, she saw all of exsistence around her. The everlasting multitude of universes and dimensions all separated into the six planes. Existence… simply everything. Suddenly, there was a bright flash, and a transformation like none other loomed in front of her. It was tough to make out the shapes and features, but the figure was all a pitch black, and stood at a whole twenty feet tall. Fierce green flames erupted from its body, and with a mighty roar, all of exsistence was shattered by these flames with a deafening explosion.
Suddenly, she woke up from the little dream that she was having. She shook her head, and rubbed her eyes… it seemed all too real. She then realized where she was… in the middle of a foggy battlefield. The fog must have the effects of sleep gas for those who didn't develop immunity. She then heard the clashing of metals. 'Sounds like a Swordfight…' Alyssa thought, transforming into her Marth form.
…Back to Kyle…
Kyle made a quick horizontal slash, but the demon blocked the blade by holding his cutlass diagonally. "Death shall be your new master…" The demon yelled, using the fact that he was double Kyle's size to push the blade out of the way, and make a slash with his own gigantic cutlass. However, Kyle took advantage that he was half the demon's size to jump on the flat side of the blade, run down it to the demon's supposive face, slash the face fifteen times, and then stab his sword into it, all in one quick motion, and then jumped off the blade to the ground in safety, all before the demon could even blink. (Well, if it had eyes…it's like a living mass of blue fire…) If you were to see it, it would pretty much be like a big mass of afterimages that you couldn't really see.
"Phoenix eye combo…that should've finished you." Kyle muttered. The demon was howling in pain. It then flared even brighter, grabbed its blade, and took out another of the exact same size. "Oh geez…" Kyle muttered at the approaching demon. He knew that now would be a good time to go on the defensive. He held his shield up. Though it miraculously held back the attacks, they still did send him back a lot…and into the billowing void of the fog.
Kyle looked around, but couldn't find the demon, which he suddenly realized was behind him. The demon brought his blade down, and Kyle used his shield to block it, but the second blade's follow up slash Kyle had to block with his sword. The slash, however, sent Kyle's weapon flying out of his hands.
"Oh great…" Kyle muttered. The demon laughed. "All are doomed… you're all dead… every one of you…" It stated, coming in for it's finishing attack, but it never came. The falchion was stabbed through the demon. It was Alyssa, in her Marth form. "Fuck. You. All…" The demon groaned, as it died.
Only, it didn't die…
It came back again, just like after Kyle's Phoenix Eye Combo, and flaring even brighter than before. Of course, this distraction let Kyle backflip several times, and grab his blade, then re-enter the fray.
"Glad to see that you're ok." Kyle said to Alyssa. Alyssa nodded, and smiled. "I was about to see the exact same thing to you." She replied. Kyle then put on a smirk. "What do you say that we kick this thing's ass, and get on with our little quest?" He asked. Alyssa nodded. "I'm with you all the way!" She replied, as both she and Kyle rushed forward. It took them two seconds to realize that the demon had mutated a bit while they were talking.
It now had four arms, and each arm had one really big cutlass in it.
"Death…is my mistress… and she'll soon be your master!" The demon yelled. Kyle and Alyssa sighed. "It really isn't making this easy…" Alyssa whispered. "Tell me about it." Kyle replied. They still rushed forward, and they got into a vicious swordfight. Kyle and Alyssa each had to swordfight two blades with their one. The slashes were mostly too fast to see, so if one was watching, one could only see flashes of air between the three.
Suddenly, Kyle nodded to Alyssa, who nodded back. The two backflipped away from the demon, and looked at each other for a minute. "Remember that technique that we practiced when we were nine?" Kyle asked. "You mean… the Death Scythe combo? We've never really put it to actual use…" Alyssa replied. "Well, now's time to put it to the test." Kyle then added, and Alyssa understood.
"All shall die!" The demon yelled, rushing forward toward the two. Kyle then smirked. Both he and Alyssa pointed their blades at the Demon. "Death Scythe combo!" They both said simultaneously. Suddenly, they both rushed forward so fast it seemed like they disappeared. "What?" The demon exclaimed. Suddenly, he felt like he was inside a spiked coffin. He was getting stabbed from each direction so fast, that he couldn't see where either Kyle and Alyssa, or their weapons were. In fact, the stabs were so fast, it seemed like they were a thousand swords piercing him simultaneously.
Suddenly, Falchion stabbed through his left side, and the gilded sword through his left, making an X. Before the demon had any time to react, Alyssa stood in front of him, and dashed forward at a blinding speed, dragging her blade straight through the demon, and leaving a huge straight mark that went all the way up it's chest. Then, Kyle jumped from the fog at the demon's right, and slashed the head (or at least, head-fireball) and still dragged his blade down in an arc, leaving its mark on the demon's body.
The demon's body collapsed lifelessly to the ground, bearing an extremely deep scar taking up most of its chest. The wound looked like a big Scythe. The sword wound that Alyssa left served as the scythe's shaft, and the wound Kyle left served as the blade of the scythe-shaped wound.
The two sighed as the fog disappeared as quickly as it came. "That was… pretty hard. Kyle sighed. "Well…we're alive… aren't we?" Alyssa replied. "Yeah…" Kyle said back to her. He then looked upon the huge scythe-shaped scar on the demon. "I say that the attack came out very well." He stated. Alyssa nodded. "Although it would be more powerful if we matched it to either my Link or Marth form, I don't have the speed and timing down for those forms… so until we train again, we'd be best off if this was only between you as young link, and me as marth." She sighed. Kyle nodded. "We could also develop a combo involving my Bowser form." He then stated. Alyssa nodded. "We should start off smaller, though, and work our way up to Sheik and Bowser." She explained. "Yes, but remember, this is when we get a chance to train. Our first priority is getting through these plains and reaching Grandville." Kyle said. "Of course, I never forgot that." Alyssa replied.
…The two then continued their journey under the 3A.M. sky…
