Chapter. 42

Vincent didn't see and arrow pointing to Ruby Dragoon. "Okay so he's not back yet."

"Let's got out of here V!"

"We can't. Ruby came after the opal after I killed him once. After this he'll hunt you to the end of the earth, a top of that he has an attack called judgment blow. It only works on members of his legion but it'll take all of you're points and that means losing brain burst and that means losing all of your memories of it and anything to do with it."

"Anything with.. You mean... I'll lose..."

"That's why we have to end it now. I got a plan-" A light rose from the ground and Ruby Dragoon was revived several feet away. "Reby start breaking things, build up your meter and go yellow." Vincent glanced back to Rebecca. "I know after what happened but, I need you to trust me."

"Okay." Rebecca drew he gun and shot at a pillar.

Vincent picked up his sword and stood between her and Ruby. The two stared down each other for a moment until they both raised their arm, Ruby fired a fireball while Vincent shot a laser bolt. The two attacks clashed and canceled each other out. Vincent kept his sword up and walked towards Ruby.

Ruby let out a chuckle. "You getting closer for a better shot?"

"I can't cut you to bits without getting closer."

"Well then. Okay." Ruby's dragon mouth opened and a blade made of fire emerged. The two rushed on another and their blades met. "Of course you'd be driven by a girl."

"If you just let her walk away we wouldn't be having this conversation." Vincent pushed his sword against Ruby's fire. "And I wouldn't have to put you down!"

"That's only true if you win."

"When I win!" Vincent fired his blaster, hitting Ruby in the chest to stagger hit then cut off his right arm. Ruby retracted his flame blade and shot a fireball at Vincent. The fire washed over the tyrant's back as he stepped out of its path.

Ruby charged at Vincent with his dragon head to bite him. Vincent sidestepped the attack and grabbed a hold of one of his wings, spinning him back into the direction he came from followed with stabbing him in the back. Vincent pulled his sword out and Ruby staggered forward to stay on his feet.

Ruby turned back to Vincent and swung his dragon head, extending his flame blade. "Real funny."

"Bitch I'm hilarious." Vincent spun his sword and rushed at Ruby. Before their weapons struke Ruby spread his wings and flew over Vincent, charging straight for Rebecca. "Judgement blow!" Ruby's dragon head shined white.

Vincent spun around as his blaster powered up. His headache had returned as he used his incarnate system. "Cleanse!" Vincent fired a massive beam, causing Ruby to evade. "You're not touching her! Blaster, scatter!" Vincent fired at Ruby as he ran to Rebecca.

Ruby hurled a fireball down into the ground, sending sand up into the air. Vincent stopped running. "Reby get down!" Rebecca dove to the ground just as Ruby flew over her. Ruby turned in the air for another dive on Rebecca, Vincent stood in front of her and swung his sword, the blade crashed into Ruby's flame blade, creating a shook wave.

"You're fight's with me prick! Leave her out of this!"

"You know a better way to break a man then to burn his girl to ash?" Ruby raised his arm and hurled Vincent into the air then threw him into the sand. "Now where were we? Right, judgement blow." Ruby's dragon head shined white once more as he dashed at Rebecca.

Rebecca shot Ruby with her pistol but her bullets only chipped his health when her clip was empty. Rebecca ducked behind a pillar when Ruby swung his dragon head, braking the pillar. Rebecca threw her knife, striking Ruby just below the neck.

"Fight till the end, good. Judgement blow."

"No, not like this... V..." Rebecca closed her eyes and waited for the end.

Behind Ruby Vincent grabbed a hold of one of the Dragoon's wings and slammed him into the ground. Vincent followed by plunging his sword into Ruby's torso but he rolled away. Vincent fired scattered laser bolts at Ruby, forcing him to retreat.

Vincent kept shooting as he backed stepped to Rebecca. "How's your meter?"

"Almost full!"

"Good enough. Do it!"

"Prism shift yellow!" Rebecca's body color turned yellow as it changed shape. Large hoops hung from the sides of her helmet that connected to a pale veil that reached the lower portion of her back and covered the lower half of her face. The armor on her shoulders and hips stretched out and sharpened. Her right hand was replaced with a large yellow rose.

Rebecca held up her right arm. "Petal storm!" The rose lit up and each of the petals broke off and flowed around her, creating a giant whirlwind of petals. Dragoon rushed into the storm and the petals were cutting into his armor, he saw his health was draining then ran back out. "Stay close to me." Rebecca pushed her back against Vincent's to keep him safe from the storm around them.

Ruby held out his arm and the dragon head opened up to breath fire into the petals. The petals gathered in front of the flames to guard against it. Rudy took flight and circled around the petals, launching streams of fire at it. "You're special will run out at some point!"

Vincent glanced down to Rebecca's right hand, with the large rose gone what remained was a thick metal spike. "How much is in your special?"

"I'm below half."

"Can he see us in this?"

"No. I'm keeping the storm to thick to see."

"Can you thin it out for him to see us."

"Yes but-"

"Do it."

"What?! But-"

"Please Reby. Trust me."

Rebecca looked at her special meter to see it was a third full. "Okay." Rebecca slowed the the petals flowing around them enough that Ruby Dragoon could see them in the center. "Now what-"

"Stab him good for me."

"What-"

"Judgement blow!" Rudy's dragon head shined with a white light as he dived at Rebecca. Vincent shoved Rebecca down, as she hit the ground Vincent dropped his sword held up his left arm. The dragon head bit onto his arm and pushed Vincent out of the storm.

Once Ruby saw who he got he stopped pushing and Vincent grabbed a hold of one of the dragon's horn. "Say goodnight dipshit!" Before Ruby could react Rebecca plunged her metal spike into the back of the Dragoon's head. Vincent pulled his arm free as Ruby's body fell into the sand.

Rebecca's armor revered to it's pale color. "Is it over?"

"How many points did you get?"

"Last time it was fifty, this time it was thirty eight."

"Fifty? You're level two so... Level seven?! He was that strong? Damn." Vincent snapped his fingers. "Wait less then fifty-"

"I got a massage, it says I'm no longer a member of the ruby legion."

Vincent pulled down the territory map. "It's gone. The ruby legion, it's gone!" Vincent hugged Rebecca, lifting her up and spinning her around. "You did it Rebecca! You took down the legion leader!"

"We did it V! We did it!"

Vincent put Rebecca down but still held her. "I'm so happy Reby, I thought I lost you."

"I trust you V, I'll never doubt you again."

"Thank you Reby. Let's get out of here, I'll speed to where you are and pick you up."

"Come with me, I know where the closest exit is." The couple ran hand in hand to leave the unlimited field.
