-1But Enki was too late.
Jolinar plunged the sword into Ausar's shoulder just before Enki managed to separate them both. Jolinar stumbled back into the wall. Enki supported the gasping Ausar as he fell to the floor. Enki grabbed the sword impaled in Ausar's shoulder and pulled.
"Unh!" Ausar stifled a scream as the sword was pulled out of his body and blood spurted out of his shoulder. He started to lose consciousness. Jolinar, on the other hand , recovered quickly and took out a dagger that was hidden between his wrist and metal arm band thing.. He charged at the two of them.
Enki opened his mouth once more and threw a blast at Jolinar. Jolinar dodged to the left, still charging and jumped into the air. He put his hands together and stretched them out horizontally. Light grew from his hands to form into a glowing bow and arrow. In the air, he targeted Ausar and his left index and middle finger twitched; releasing the glowing arrow.
Enki grabbed Ausar's shirt with his teeth and, with super speed, quickly carried him out of the arrows way. Jolinar descended to the floor and picked up the bloodied sword that Enki left on the floor. Jolinar gripped the sword. He lifted the sword up high above his head. As soon as he did, the sword grew larger and thicker. Lightening, if that was possible, hit the sword and the sword burned a blue fire. Jolinar took two steps back and plunged the sword into the ground.
The blue fire flew away from the sword and went directly to Ausar and Enki.
Ausar had a hand on his bleeding shoulder. He saw the blue fire going towards them and outstretched his left hand. A shield appeared a split second before the blue fire reached Ausar and Enki. The blue fire seemed to be struggling to pass through the shield and the shield seemed to be struggling to keep the fire at bay.
Ausar was also struggling to keep the shield up and struggled to stay where he was. The force of the blue fire was pushing him back. "Move Enki!" Ausar could not hold the shield up any more. He and Enki jumped into the air, barely dodging the blast. They could feel the intense heat from the fire. Just then, Ausar felt pain in sides. He looked down and saw that a dagger pierced him.
Jolinar wasted no time. He jumped into the air and threw the dagger that he had in his hand towards Ausar when he saw them jump. Jolinar eyes glowed for a moment and instead of falling to the ground, he floated in mid air. Ausar did the same. Enki just fell to the floor gracefully.
"Jolinar…unh…what are you doing?" Ausar took out the dagger out of his side. He kept it though. He couldn't risk throwing away the dagger when Jolinar can use it again. Jolinar didn't respond. He just floated there in the air. Jolinar put his hands together again and formed another glowing bow and arrow. He readied his weapon and targeted Ausar again.
This time, Ausar was ready. He looked down and saw that Jolinar had not recovered his sword. Jolinar's fingers twitched and a glowing arrow flew at Ausar. Ausar flew out of the way and went straight for the sword. He reached the ground and ran for the sword. He went for the sword…
And his hand went right through it.
He felt something grab his ankles.
He looked up to where Jolinar was and saw Jolinar blur. It blurred, then became transparent and then disappeared completely. It was an illusion. He looked down and saw Jolinar's head and hands grabbing his ankles. Jolinar jumped up and punched Ausar square in the face. Ausar fell to the ground and Jolinar kicked him hard in the stomach. Ausar rolled away so he wouldn't be kicked again. Jolinar took out the real sword and swung at Ausar. Ausar took out his own sword and blocked Jolinar's attack. Jolinar crouched and hooked Ausar's legs.
Ausar kept his balance and did a back flip. Once done, he threw the dagger he had at Jolinar. Jolinar raised his right hand and the earth in front of him grew into a wall; blocking the dagger. Jolinar lowered his hand and the earth dissolved. Ausar wasted no time. When the earth blocked his dagger, he charged up at Jolinar. Once the earth dissolved he swung his feet under him, crashing into Jolinar's chest.
He heard Jolinar wheeze and a clang. Jolinar had let go of his sword.. He swung at Jolinar again, kicking his head; not too hard though, just hard enough to send Jolinar sliding a couple of feet away. Ausar grabbed Jolinar's collar and shook him violently.
"What is wrong with you?" Ausar shouted. Jolinar did not respond. He just looked up at him with blank emotionless eyes. Jolinar then swung his head into Ausar's forehead…hard. Ausar let go of Jolinar in a daze. Jolinar punched Ausar yet again and did a roundhouse kick at his chest. Ausar lost his breath and bended over. Jolinar kicked up Ausar's downed face, sending Ausar to step back and fall backwards.
Enki ran at Jolinar and bit his arm. Jolinar didn't even scream. He just ran over to the wall and banged Enki, whose teeth were still in his arm, into the wall multiple times. Enki let got of Jolinar. He let Jolinar go and threw a blast at him. The blast hit Jolinar directly and knocked him out.
Ausar spat out blood and stood up from the ground. He wiped his mouth and saw Jolinar unconscious.
"That was faster than I thought it would be." In the shadows, Aron and the mind bender watched the fight between father and son. The mind bender silently agreed. He expected this fight to be longer lasting.
"Unh…" Jolinar slowly opened his eyes and sat up, using his hands for support. He looked at Ausar with blank eyes. Enki growled and Jolinar looked at his direction. Jolinar raised his right arm in front of his face, clenching and unclenching his hand. There was slight confusion in his face, but it disappeared when he balled his hand into a fist.
Electricity flowed around his hand and filled the cave with light. Wind shifted around Jolinar, causing his hair to dance and his bangs to fly slightly up. He opened his fist to reveal a ball of electricity at his palm growing larger and larger.
"Damn it." Ausar got up and readied his bow and arrow. Immediately he released the string when he targeted Jolinar. Jolinar clenched his hand , plunging his fingers into the ball of electricity and unclenched his hand again; each of his fingers had a glow of electricity in them. He did the same with his other hand. Now all ten finger was a dangerous weapon and there was still that ball of electricity at the palm of his right hand.
Jolinar flicked his left pinky and the electricity there was released and aimed at the incoming arrow. The arrow exploded on contact. Jolinar wasted no time. He charged at Ausar; his eyes shadowed as he ran.
Ausar threw down his bow and unsheathed his sword. He, along with Enki, charged at Jolinar.
00000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo
The mind bender watched the fight continue. He was surprised that the boy revived after that blast from the mutt. But then again, the mind bender thought, he is a necromancer. He shivered. Necromancers were the most feared and hated mages in this life. So much that that it was said that they were all wiped out. IExcept for one.
He looked at the charging boy. He was curious about him. Is the adult his father? Then that would mean there are two necromancers. He thought.
And with that, he silently put his hands together and, a second later, found himself in the mind of the necromancer.
00000000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo
There was darkness…as always.
His footsteps echoed through the lightless place. He was expecting an attack. Hell, he was always attacked when he entered someone's mind. It was instinct when someone invaded someone's privacy…but nothing. The mind bender looked around, just to make sure.
Nothing.
He walked around. Even though the surrounding were the same, the feeling of not going anywhere persistent; he knew he was going somewhere. Just as he was about to leave, there was nothing interesting here, he saw a light ahead of him. He ran to the light, just like a moth to a fire. But the bubble of interest popped when he saw what it was. A bubble of curiously grew.
It was a card.
The mind bender picked it up, curiously looking at it back and front, side to side. He shook the card thing, trying to hear something inside. All he heard was a click! click! He looked at the design of the card and saw that it was the same. A black spiral within a red background. The front, he supposed it was the front, had a gold metal at the right side. He poked it, seeing if it would do something. There was a click.
The card-no, locket opened. The mind bender saw it glow.
Pop!
"Huh?" The light and locket disappeared. "Ooh dear." The mind bender put his palms together, and escaped the mind of the boy. I hope I didn't do anything wrong to the boy's mind.
0000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo
Jolinar blocked the incoming sword with his right arm, while clawing Ausar with his left hand. Enki went to bite on Jolinar's left arm. Jolinar let go of the sword and stopped clawing Ausar. He backed away before Enki could bite him.
Jolinar jumped backwards and flexed his fingers. He reached for the sword beside him and charged unhesitant towards Ausar. Enki noticed this and charged at Jolinar. Jolinar knelt down and grabbed some dirt and threw it at Enki. Enki whimpered as dirt entered his eyes but he managed. He threw a blast at Jolinar.
Jolinar took the blast and was thrown back meters into a wall. The next moment, he had an arrow embedded his right shoulder. The electricity in his hands faded. He let go of the sword. Ausar threw an arrow once he saw Jolinar down. He winced at the blood oozing down Jolinar's shoulder, but it was for the best. Jolinar took notice of the arrow and got up like a zombie: His head down and his arms limp. His left hand moved like a robot to grab the arrow in his shoulder and pulled; a squirt of blood flowed to the floor as the arrow fell to the ground.
He flicked his hands and the electricity came back to his fingertips. Ausar readied himself and Enki crouched; growling and showing his teeth.
Jolinar took no notice and charged at the again; his head high. The electricity grew larger and brighter. He raised his right hand high and had his left hand in front of him, ready to block any attack from the sword. Ausar decided to wait for Jolinar to attack first.
Jolinar finally reached him.
Ausar raised his sword above his face, expecting to block an electrifying hand.
All he blocked was air.
"Unh!" Ausar looked up at Jolinar.
Jolinar was right in front of him. From his stance, it was clear that he was about to attack him. His right hand was lower than it was while charging at him. It seemed that he was going to strike, but stopped. Ausar looked at his face and saw it frozen. His eyes shadowed. The electricity in his hands faded and he took a step back; his head down and his arm limp.
00000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo
"This stinks." Jolinar said to himself. He spoke to himself to what seemed like hours on end. He tugged the chains around him, only for the chains to hug him even tighter.
He sighed.
"What are you doing Jolinar?" Jolinar looked up and saw a bright light. The bright light formed into a human being. The human being was Mokuba.
"Oh nothing. Just…hanging around." Jolinar tried to joke.
Mokuba frowned and put his hands on his hips, he head inclined to the right. "That wasn't funny."
Jolinar drooped. "Yeah I know."
Mokuba closed his eyes and sighed. "You need to wake up Jolinar."
Jolinar looked at him confusingly. "Aren't I awake?"
Mokuba shook his head. "Your committing a horrible thing right now. To your father…" He looked down. His hands over him protectively. "And to me."
Something twisted inside his chest. "What do you mean?"
Mokuba refused to look at Jolinar. His eyes started to fill with tears. "I'm alone big brother." He sniffed. He took a step back, looking around his surroundings fearfully. "I don't know what to do."
"Mokuba." Jolinar reached out to him, but the chains hugged him once more. "Unh."
"Seto!" Mokuba looked straight past him, as if looking at something behind him. Jolinar looked back as best as he could and his eyes widen in shock.
Behind him was a younger him; with clothing that unlike his own. The younger him had a wide smile on his face. So care free. His eyes filled with happiness. Then, he transformed. He grew older and he wore the same clothing as he did: All black with metal around his arms and a white trench coat. He looked colder, his face devoid of emotion. But all this changed when he broke into a smile, and his eyes showed emotion .
"Seto!" Jolinar looked back at Mokuba to see him running towards him. Jolinar expected a collision as Mokuba ran straight towards them. As Mokuba ran closer, he began to fade and went through Jolinar's body.
Jolinar gasped as he felt coldness and images appeared around him.
00000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo
Ausar watched Jolinar clutch his head and pain.
Jolinar took several steps back and fell to his knees.
Enki whimpered worryingly. He walked near him, only to be stopped by a flying dagger grazing his cheek.
Enki and Ausar looked at the direction that the dagger came from and were shocked to see Aron…and some other guy they didn't know, emerging from the shadows.
"You truly are a father figure." Aron said . "Running to save your son and know that it was a trap. Truly a father figure." He looked at Enki. "And you Enki, the loyal mutt. Or should I say-" Aron looked at Ausar evilly. "The loyal brother?"
Enki crouched and growled at Aron. Surprisingly, he made yelp sounds as well. He bared his teeth and seemed to want to say something extremely rude to Aron.
Aron just laughed. "Until just recently I have found out about your identity. Imagine my surprise when I found out that that transportation spell had a rather nasty side effect." He laughed again. "Can you guess what that effect is Ausar?"
Ausar scowled. He looked at Jolinar to see if he was okay. He saw Jolinar on his knees and clutching his head. He whimpered silently. "No." He said angrily. "I don't know." He flicked his left wrist and a dagger fell to his hand and threw it Aron's heart.
Aron made no move to dodge the dagger. He simply let it got through his heart. He sighed. "You're really dense." He pulled out the dagger. "Have you forgotten-" He tucked the dagger in his belt. "That I cannot die."
Ausar smirked, looking like Kaiba. "But you can feel pain." He pointed at the wound. "Don't pretend Aron. I know very well that you're in excruciating pain right now. Don't hide it." He dug his sword on the ground. "It's pathetic." The earth began to shake. The mind bender looked at the earth fearfully and froze. The sword glowed a yellow light and just like the first time, erupted from the ground and the light jumped at Aron. Unlike the last time though, this one looked as if it was meant to kill.
Ausar raised his arm and the earth below Aron turned to quicksand. Before Aron could react, the earth that was so soft that he sank into it, now turned to cement.
He could not escape.
"You must be desperate." Ausar had a sense of déjà vu. He saw the light go towards Aron. It was a powerful spell that was enough to kill someone.
Enough.
Enough to kill someone was not killing someone. Aron was right. He was desperate. He was desperate to end this bastards life. But now that he couldn't die, the least he could do is cause him unbearable pain.
Aron laughed- all he seemed to do was laughed- and he raised his hand as well. The earth beneath Ausar and Enki turned to quicksand. Aron closed his hand into a fist and the sand turned to a cement. Now Enki and Ausar were stuck.
Aron chanted and the light flew to his hand. "This same spell…made Apolla disappeared." He looked at Ausar and Enki. "Will it make you disappear as well?"
00000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo
Jolinar clutched his head as memories attacked him. He felt pain…suffering…happiness…sadness….frustration…insanity.
He felt this river of emotion with every event. He remembered everything of his past as Seto Kaiba. Everything.
Now he understood the visions of Mokuba.
Now he understood, that he had to go home.
He opened his eyes.
And the urge to go home diminished when he saw what was happening.
A globe of light was in Aron's hand. Ausar and Enki were stuck on the earth.
And then Aron releasing the light and the light going straight towards Ausar and Enki.
Anger filled Jolinar's veins. Ausar was the only father he had. Enki was the only pet friend he had. Looking back at his past, he valued these two. He valued them like Mokuba.
Without thinking, he ran in front of Ausar and Enki. He spread his arms as a shield for Ausar and Enki and the blast hit him head on. He felt extreme pain.
As Seto Kaiba, he refused to scream.
As Jolinar Marduk, he took a quick look behind him. Ausar had a shocked look on his face and Enki had his eyes closed.
The pain was extreme. The light disappeared and Jolinar stood there with his arms spread out.
Jolinar's eyes were shut.
He coughed and blood came out of his mouth.
"This spell made Apolla to disappear." Aron looked at Aron. His face had an ironic smile.
"Will it make Jolinar disappear as well?"
00000000000000000000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo
