(Mayoccia Plains)
The Mayoccia Plains was considering the main area surrounding the large city of Zaphias. They were quite peaceful and calm lands. However, that doesn't mean one could just go and relax in them. Why?
"Azure Edge!"
"Demon Fang!"
Monsters. They were roaming all over the world taking in form of many creatures. Wolves, birds, plants and even golems. Thankfully, this was no surprise to everyone who lived in this world.
Four people stood in a large field fighting off a giant dragon. A young dark-haired man with a sword ran forward slashing the dragon in the chest.
"Dragon Swarm!" The man shouted doing a series of slashes. "Flynn, now!"
"On it, Yuri!" A blond white and blue-clad man said rushing over with a sword and shield. "Sword Rain Alpha!"
He then did a series of stabs with his sword. However, the dragon roared in anger before spinning around intending to whip the two with his sword. The two swordsmen jumped out of the way.
"The defence on that dragon is strong." Flynn noted. "I think we are going to need a bit more than swinging swords to win."
"I hear ya." Yuri said before looking back. "You heard that, ladies?"
A teenage brunette red-clad grumbled as she got into a casting stance. "Tsk. Fine. You're ready, Estelle."
The final person was a pink-haired girl with a white and pink regal dress. She cheerfully nodded while carrying a sword and shield similar to Flynn.
"Ready, Rita!" She said.
With that, the two started to get into concentrating poses. A dark purple glyph ring was surrounding Rita and a white one surrounding Estelle.
"Violent Pain!" Rita shouted.
"Angel Ring!" Estelle yelled.
Suddenly, several dark arrows shot out of the ground around the dragon while a golden light of ring surrounded it. At the same time, the attacks struck the dragon striking him multiple times. The dragon cried out in pain taking the damage.
However, it roared before shooting out a breath of fire. Yuri and Flynn quickly jumped out of the way.
"It is resistant to magic too?" Estelle exclaimed.
"Keep doing different attacks!" Flynn shouted. "Maybe it has a weakness."
"Out of all of the times to see up all of the Magic Lens." Yuri muttered.
Estelle frowned before getting ready to cast a spell. This particular monster was stronger than most ones and it would take a lot more than their usual attacks to defeat it. But question was, which one?
Suddenly, she heard a weird noise. Turning her head to the side, she saw two balls of light. One white and one black. Estelle gasped before looking back at the others to make sure that a stray attack doesn't hit her in the back. She saw that her allies and the dragon were too busy fighting each other to notice the dragon.
Estelle looked back wondering what the two balls of light were until she noticed that there were moving towards each other causing a bright light that engulfed the entire battlefield.
When the light cleared, the dragon was on the ground dead.
Yuri blinked twice giving a descending whistle. "I don't know what that arte was but it certainly worked."
However, the dark-haired man never got a reply. Raising his eyebrow, he turned around. His eyes widened when he found that all three of his allies vanished into thin air.
(Citadel City)
Estelle laid down unconscious. However, she slowly fluttered her eyes open.
"Ah, you are finally awake."
Estelle's eyes snapped open before she slowly sat up to see that she was in a room on a bed. Looking around, she found several other people lying in their beds. Looking up, she found a doctor.
"Are you okay, young miss?" The doctor said in a warm voice.
"Um, yes?" Estelle asked before looking around. "Excuse me but where am I?"
"You are in a hospital room in the main citadel." The doctor explained.
Estelle paused before looking around eyeing all of the unconscious people.
"How… Did I get here?" She asked.
"You were found in an alleyway." The doctor said.
"An alleyway?" Estelle asked with wide eyes. When did she appear from the Mayoccia Plains to the alleyway of some citadel?
"That's right." The doctor said.
Estelle paused for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes widened.
"My friends! Please sir! Where are my friends?" Estelle pleaded quickly.
The doctor jumped. "Please, calm down! Tell me. What do they look like?"
"Well, there is one you can't miss." Estelle explained. "He is a young man in his early twenties clad in black and has long black hair and he carries a katana."
"Hmm…" The doctor said. "I am sorry. I had been a few katanas but none that fully match the description you gave."
Estelle frowned at this as she looked down. So she had been separated by Yuri and the others. But where had she gone? Obviously those two lights were the cause of her being here. But how and why? She was about to ask some more questions.
Until she had heard loud coughing.
"Please, sir. You are sick!"
"I am… Cough, fine…"
"No, you are not."
Estelle and the doctor turned to see two women dealing with a man. He had blue hair with a sheath while dressed like a traditional samurai.
"Please let us treat you!" One of the woman begged. "That is a horrible cough!"
"Trust me when I said this." The man said before coughing again. "There is no treatment for me."
"That is no reason for you to go around making your illness worse!" The other woman scolded. "Come! We have plenty of beds!"
"No, I am all right." The man said.
"No, you are not." The woman repeated.
The man gave a deep sigh. "I respect what you are trying to do but you left me no choice."
With that, he did something that startled everyone. As fast as he could, he dashed towards an open window. With one leap, he jumped onto the ledge and climbed on startling.
"H-Hey!"
"Get back here!"
With that, the two women ran to chase after the man.
"Who… Who was that man?" Estelle asked.
"We found him in an alleyway just like you." The doctor frowned. "However, he has a horrible illness. For some reason, he doesn't want us to treat him."
"Why?" Estelle asked.
The doctor shook his head. "Who knows?"
Estelle paused before looking down. If what the doctor said was true, then that man was running around sick. If he continues the way he is, he may get himself killed.
"Sir?" Estelle said.
"Hm?" The doctor said.
"How about I used my healing artes on the man?" Estelle asked.
The doctor blinked twice. "Your healing… what?"
"My healing artes." Estelle saidd in confusion.
The doctor paused. "What is an arte?"
Estelle's eyes widened at this. "What? You haven't heard of an arte before?"
"No." The doctor said shaking his head.
Estelle paused wondering how to explain.
"Look, let me help find that man and I will show you." Estelle said.
The doctor paused. "All right. Be careful."
"I will." Estelle nodded.
The doctor quickly showed him off the door. Estelle wasted no time exiting the door as fast as she could. She had to find that man before his illness gets worse. She was the main healer of her team so she knew that her healing magic should help.
Estelle was going so busy in finding the man that she didn't looked where she was going on and she only realized that it was a bad idea until it was too late.
Estelle bumped into someone causing her and the person to stagger away from each other. The princess looked up to see who she bumped into.
The person was a male build and was wearing some kind of red and black outfit covering his entire body. He was carrying a katana on his face back along with a giant flag that says "Deadpool Rules"
The man put his hands on his hips. "Hey! What was that for?"
Estelle stepped before giving an apologtic bow. "I am sorry! I am trying to look for someone and I didn't look where I was going! Please forgive me!"
The man put his finger to his masked chin in thought. "Depends. Do you have a weapon?"
"Huh?" Estelle asked in confusion before getting her sword and shield. "Um, yes?"
"And did you come from by two balls of monochrome light?" The man asked.
Estelle's eyes widened at this. "Yes! How did you know?"
"I came here by those balls of light too!" The man said pointing to himself.
"So I am not the only one who had been transported here." Estelle said.
"As for forgiving you…" The man said.
He then got out his katana got out of his back.
"I decline!" The man darkly said darkly.
Estelle yelped before getting into her stance. "What!? Why!?"
"Because you are my next opponent!" The man said. "We have to fight regardless of how silly the reason is!"
"HUH?" Estelle said.
"Shut up and fight so we can move this chapter along!" The man said.
(Round One: Deadpool)
Estelle yelped before raising her shield to block a katana from Deadpool. Swinging her sword, she slashed the mercernary in the chest. However, this hardly made him wince.
"THAT was your attack?" Deadpool asked in disbelief. "Your swords ain't been set to stun, hon!"
"I don't know what you are saying!" Estelle yelled.
Deadpool didn't listen. He merely slashed again. However, Estelle was prepared and swerve his head to the head avoiding the attack. Thinking quickly, the medic grabbed the man's arm. Swinging her shield hard, he clocked Deadpool in the head.
The red-and-black-clad man staggered back holding his throbbing head.
"No fair… It ISN'T my chapter yet?" Deadpool said collapsing on his knees before falling on his head. "Lame…"
Estelle and several spectators watched the unconscious man in confusion.
"What a… Bizarre man." Estelle said panting heavily.
Her eyes then widened in realization.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Estelle said before looking around. "Have anyone seen a blue-haired man with a sheath?"
"Yeah, I saw him leaving the citadel!" A woman called out.
"What? Where is the exit?" Estelle asked.
Several people pointed to the exit. Estelle thanked them before running off leaving the unconscious Deadpool behind.
However after she left, a certain figure ran into.
"Lady Estelle?" Flynn asked looking around.
(Merchant Ship)
After leaving the citadel city, Estelle ran all of the way through the forest to a port town. After asking for directions, she had found out that the blue-haired man had boarded a ship. Wasting no time catching the nearest ship, she asked around to see where the man was.
"So have you seen him? Blue long hair? Coughing a lot?" Estelle asked.
"No, sorry."
"You think I would have seen a man with blue hair."
"If he was coughing that hard, surely SOMEONE on this boat would have heard him."
Estelle sighed as she hanged her head. The reason she got on the boat was to catch up with the man and it turns out that he was not on this ship at all but boarded a completely different ship. Now she was going who-knows-where and she still didn't know where he was or where her friends were.
"Hey."
Estelle looked up and turned around to see a man walking forward. He was dressed in a white samurai's outfit with black hair in a ridiculously long ponytail. He was also carrying a sheathed katana.
"Did you say that you were looking for a blue-haired man with a horrible cough?" The man asked.
Estelle's eyes widened. "Yes! Have you seen him?"
"Um, not recently. I didn't even know he was here." The man admitted.
"Wait. You know him." Estelle said.
"Yeah. I know Ukyo. Do you two know each other?" The man asked.
"No. But he ran away from a hospital and I am trying to find him before his illness gets worse." Estelle said.
The man paused for a moment. Suddenly, he let out a hearty laugh much to Estelle's confusion.
"So that explains it!" He grinned.
"W-What?" Estelle asked.
"Ever since I first met Ukyo, he had that same cough for as long as I could remember." The man said. "Apparently he had it ever since he was a kid."
Estelle gasped. "What? And no healing arte could cure him."
The man blinked twice. "Healing artes?"
Estelle paused. "You mean that you never heard of an arte before either? How is that possible?"
"What is an arte, anyway?" The man asked.
"An arte is when you used a blastia to help you in a battle." Estelle explained.
The man gave Estelle a deer-in-the-headlights look. "Blastia?"
The princess' eyes bugged out. "You never heard of blastia either? It is the main source of this world!"
The man paused before looking around. "I know this sounds crazy… But I don't think this world is nothing like your world."
Estelle's eyes widened. "So you are saying that I am in another world?"
"I think so. I had been travelling for as long as I could remember and none of these places seem the least bit familiar." The man said looking at the scene. "At first, I just went to a different part of my world but when I told people about the places I had been, they… Well, gave me the same looks you did."
"Another world?" Estelle said in awe. "So those lights were more powerful than I thought."
"You saw them too?" The man mused. "Small world. Hey, do you have a weapon?"
"Um, yes?" Estelle asked.
"Then, how about you and me spar for a bit?" The man smirked. "It may take a while till we reach our destination so we might as well do something to pass the time."
Estelle paused. "You are not asking me because we supposed to beat up each other?"
The man's smirk vanished. "What kind of question is that?"
"Never mind." Estelle said shaking her head while getting out her sword. "Very well. I will accept your challenge."
"Um, all right." The man said getting out his katana.
(Round Two: Haohmaru)
A sailor looked at another sailor. "Um, shouldn't we do something? Like stopping those two from fighting?"
"And miss this great fight!" The other sailor grinned. "Perish the thought!"
Estelle locked both her sword and shield with Haohmaru's sword. The two struggled with each other trying to gain ground on each. Despite the noticeable difference in terms of muscles, the two struggled with each other. Most people were watching their fight intently.
Then, Estelle shot out her knee into Haohmaru's stomach knocking him away before smacking her shield against his face.
The samurai staggered back holding his face. "For someone wearing a dress that looks like the type you will to European ballroom parties, you are quite skilled with your sword."
"Thank you." Estelle nodded. "But if you think I am skilled, perhaps you should see Yuri and Flynn."
"Heh. I would like to face them some time." Haohmaru smirked. "My name is Haohmaru by the way."
"Estelle." Estelle said.
"Estelle, huh? It was a pleasure clashing swords with you." Haohmaru said.
"Thank you." The princess nodded. "It is fun fighting you too."
(Chinese Town)
After the ship had reached its destination, Estelle had said her goodbyes to Haohmaru and continued her journey to find Ukyo in hopes of healing him. Her journey had led her to a Chinese town where some kind of night festival was happening.
Estelle looked around in awe at all of the events with sparkling eyes.
"Wow. Never on our travels have we seen THIS time of spectators." Estelle said.
However, she knew that she couldn't afford that any kind of distraction. She had to find that man and cure him of him illness before it was too late. Deciding to ask around, she continued to quiz on where Ukyo was.
Unfortunately just like before, she didn't get any answers. She sighed before looking down. How did she know that this Ukyo guy didn't went in the opposite direction she did? What if he was long gone?
Then, she realized something. This was a different world. One that DIDN'T have artes. Which means nobody uses healing artes. Perhaps she had the power to cure that man of that illness. It was worth a shot anyway.
"Um, excuse me?"
The young woman quickly shot out of her train of thought before turning around to see a young man walking towards him. He had brown hair with mismatched clad and in a white attire. He also noticed a sheathed-katana. Estelle started to wonder that wielding in this world was a common thing.
"Is your name Estelle?" The man asked.
The young woman's eyes widened at this. "How did you know?"
"A man named Flynn and a young girl named Rita had been looking for you." The man said.
Estelle's eyes widened at this. "Flynn and Rita? So they HAVE been teleported to this world too."
"Yes. I met them a while ago." The man said. "Apparently when they heard that you were in this world as well, they went searching for you."
Estelle paused. "I see…"
"Now let's go." The man said. "I think I have a good idea of where they are going."
Estelle stood in her spot.
The man raised an eyebrow. "Is something the matter?"
Estelle hang her head. "I am sorry but I can't go with you yet."
"Huh?" The man asked confused.
"I can't go. Not yet." Estelle said raising her head up.
"Huh? Why?" The man asked in confusion.
"I am going after this man with a terrible cough." Estelle explained. "I am trying to cure him."
"I am sorry but I can't let you do that." The man frowned. "Your friends are worried sick and I need you get to them before I lose them."
"But I need to find that man before I lose HIM!" Estelle pleaded. "I am sure they would understand!"
The man shook his head. "Is there no way I could convince you to come back?"
Estelle bit her lip. Suddenly, she perked up. "Actually, there is."
"Yes, what is it?" The man asked.
Estelle got out her sword and shield. "You have to beat me in a fight."
The man jumped at this. "What?"
"As far as I could tell, everyone who had been transported here can fend for themselves." Estelle said. "That is why I decided to have this duel. If you win, you don't have to plead to go back with you again but if I win, you have to let me go!"
"I can't do that!" The man cried in disbelief.
"I could understand why you would want to avoid fighting but at this rate, we may be arguing in circles for a while." Estelle mused.
The man paused for a moment. He then sighed before getting ready. "Fine. You have to keep your end of the bargain should you lose."
"You two." Estelle said.
(Round Three: Asbel Lhant)
Asbel swung his sword at Estelle who blocked the attack with her own sword. However, he quickly kicked Estelle in the side causing her to stagger to the side.
Estelle quickly recovered to see Asbel lunging at her. She quickly ducked underneath a sheath swing from Asbel. Thinking quickly, she grabbed Asbel's legs and threw him over her shoulder.
Asbel looked up only to have a sword pointed at him. Looking up, he found Estelle staring down at him.
"I am afraid that I win." Estelle said.
Asbel paused before sighing. "Fine, I surrender."
Estelle returned the sigh though it was more a sigh of relief. Holding out her hand, she helped Asbel onto his feet.
"All right. You win. But what do I tell Flynn?" Asbel asked.
"Don't worry. Tell him to wait at this town's hospital." Estelle explained. "If I fail to find the man soon, I will return there immediately."
Asbel stood in his place before nodding. "All right. Just be careful, Miss."
"I will. I promise." Estelle nodded. With that, she paid her goodbyes and walked off.
(Lizardman's Cave)
Lucky for Estelle, she had finally found someone who saw Ukyo. They told her that he was heading some kind of old temple for some reason. However, it was a long way away and the shortest way was through an old cave.
After thanking the man, Estelle made her way to the cave. However, she felt that a dark presence coming from the cave. Deciding to travel with her sword and shield out, she nervously made her wave through the cave.
Soon, she made her way over a rock path over a large body of water. She felt bad having to force Asbel into not to take her back or making Flynn and Rita wait for her even more but she had to choice. She just can't turn her back doing that there was a man with a serious illness. She had to find him and try to heal him. If she could…
"I just hope I am not going in over my head…" Estelle frowned.
Suddenly, she heard a noise. Turning around, she saw a pebble falling into the water.
"Who's there?" Estelle called out.
She didn't get a response. All she got besides the occasional dripping of water, Estelle shrank back not liking this feeling. She decided to get out of the cave as soon as possible.
Suddenly, she heard dark laughter. Widening her eyes, she looked up. Perched on one of the stalagmite on the water like a parrot was some kind of person. He was completely wrapped from head to toe in bandages save for a sole red eye. He was clad in a green attire with brown boots and had a sharp dagger in each hand.
"WHEEE!" He cheered before leaping off the stalagmite and lunged at Estelle with his knifes out. Estelle shrieked before raising her shield to block the knives.
"What are you?" Estelle asked in disbelief.
"Your dress is very pretty!" The creature chirped. "That means you have a lot of pretty jewels on you! Gimme!"
With that, he tried again only for Estelle to block it with her sword.
"I think that there were no monsters in this world!" Estelle cried. "Who is this… person?"
(Round Four: Jack)
Jack laughed manically before jumping into the air putting his daggers over him. Estelle yelped before blocking the attacks with her shield. Thinking quickly, she slashed Jack in the chest.
The psychopath staggered back in pain before standing up straight. "Hey! That hurt!"
"Had I let you do your attack, I would have died!" Estelle scolded.
"Shut up! You are not the boss of me!" Jack roared leaping forward.
With that, he swung his daggers around like crazy. Estelle stood in her stance easily blocking all of the attacks. Waiting for the right moment, she struck spinning her shield into Jack's face. The serial killer was sent sprawling until he landed in the water.
Estelle panted heavily due to fatigue and fear. After making sure that Jack was coming back up anytime soon, she sighed in relief.
"Maybe I should had listened to Asbel and reunited with Flynn and Rita." Estelle mused. She then looked up. "Oh well… I had gone too far to turn back down. I have to find that man."
With that, she ran off not casting the spot where Jack had landed a second thought.
(Ninja Temple)
Estelle had finally exited the cave sighing in relief. She knew that the place that she was looking for was not too far off. Soon, she had found her destination. An old temple.
She knew that this Ukyo man was inside somewhere and she hoped that she haven't left yet. Estelle took a deep breath and entered the temple. It was dark with several strange statues. Estelle felt an uneasy aura just like in the cave.
"H-Hello? Is there anyone inside?" Estelle called out.
She didn't get an answer. Estelle frowned before advancing forward into the temple. She wondered if she just went on a wild goose chase.
Suddenly, she froze when she heard a few noises. Noises that sounded like faint coughs.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Estelle asked running in the direction of the voice.
"Huh? Is there someone there?" A voice called out.
"Yes!" Estelle cried rushing forward up some stairs.
When she reached the top, she saw him. The Ukyo man standing up straight with his sheathed katana.
"It's you!" Estelle said in relief.
Ukyo raised an eyebrow. "Do I know you?"
"No, but I saw you in the hospital back in the citadel." Estelle explained. "My name is Estelle! I came to help you!"
Ukyo paused. "Help? As in with my illness? You trailed me all the way just to so?"
"Yes!" Estelle nodded. "I can use healing art… um, magic?"
Ukyo raised an eyebrow for a moment. He then looked to the side.
"There is no amount of healing that could cure my illness." He said with a cough.
"But from my world, I am a very strong healer!" Estelle said. "They always go to me for healing!"
"Well, my illness is different." Ukyo said.
"But you don't even know my magic would work!" Estelle scolded.
"No. Now I'm afraid that I have to ask you to leave." Ukyo said.
"After going all this way just to help you?" Estelle asked.
Ukyo shook his head. "Why are you so insistent of helping a complete stranger?"
"I have a special power granted to me and I intend to use it to help people whenever I can." Estelle said determined.
Ukyo merely sighed. "I respect your determination and kindness."
He then put his hand on his handle.
"But I am going somewhere right now." Ukyo said readying himself. "I can't afford any distractions."
Estelle jumped before getting into her stance. "I do not wish to help but if I must, I will."
(Destined Battle: Ukyo Tachibana)
Estelle thought quickly and jumped back from a sword slash by Ukyo. Despite his illness, Ukyo had proven to be a formidable opponent. Making up for his mistake, he stabbed his katana at Estelle who blocked the attack with her sword.
Ukyo then swung his katana a few times only for it to clash with Estelle's shield.
"I will not falter!" Estelle yelled tapping her sword against her shield.
With that, she swung her shield upwards striking Ukyo into the air. She then threw her sword up striking Ukyo. Estelle then leaped up.
"Please rest!" Estelle said grabbing the sword and striking Ukyo down on the ground unconscious.
Estelle gracefully landed on the ground in awe wondering what just happened.
"That… That felt nothing like any arte I used previously…" Estelle mused.
He then saw the unconscious Ukyo on the ground. She gasped realizing what she had done. Rushing over, she knelt down and immediately summoned a white light around her hands healing Ukyo's wounds. However, she frowned.
"My healing arte… It feels underwhelming for some reason…" Estelle mused.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar noise. Turning around, she saw two balls of light. Suddenly, they turned into swords. The white ball changed into a calibur of pure crystal while the black ball changed into a sword of bare flesh.
"What in the world?" Estelle gasped.
"Don't be alarmed, child." The crystal sword said. "We come in peace."
"You speak?" Estelle asked.
"That is correct. I am Soul Calibur, the sword of order and this is Soul Edge, the sword of chaos." The crystal sword explained.
"Soul Calibur? Soul Edge?" Estelle asked. "Are you the reason we all been teleported here?"
"Indeed. We had done so to find a host." Soul Calibur explained.
"A host?" Estelle asked.
"Of course! I had been waiting far too long for a host!" Soul Edge roared. "Someone to wield me!"
"Calm down, Soul Edge! I had been waiting for a long while too." Soul Calibur scolded before turning to Estelle. "Anyway, we would like it if we choose between one because you are the most worthy."
The princess paused. "Um, I am flattered that you two had chosen me but I have to cure the man behind me."
Soul Edge scoffed. "Now with your magic watered down from being here."
Estelle's eyes widened at this. "What!?"
"What Soul Edge is trying to say if he had the least bit of tact is that being in this world limits some people's powers." Soul Calibur explained. "Like those artes you told me about. Either those who have them have unable to use them or in your case, can't use them to their full power."
Estelle's face fell. "So I can't use my power to cure Ukyo?"
"I am afraid not, child." Soul Calibur said. "But I DO know what you can cure him."
Estelle's head jerked up. "Really?"
"Yes. I am a sword of pure light and have the power to heal." Soul Calibur explained. "Wield me and I will give you the power to cure that man."
"You… You can do that?" Estelle asked in awe.
"Indeed." Soul Calibur said.
"Don't do that, child! Wield ME!" Soul Edge yelled. "You can take this man into a Malfested and gave him infinite amounts of health!"
Estelle shrank back. "No, thank you."
She then turned to Ukyo to see him just about to get up. Looking at the blue-haired man for a bit, she narrowed her eyes and nodded her head.
"All right, Soul Calibur." Estelle said. "I will be your wielder."
With that, the pink-haired girl was about to grab Soul Calibur's handle.
"Lady Estelle, no!"
The princess jumped before looking to the side. Suddenly, a familiar figure rushed in and swung a sword at Soul Calibur knocking it away.
"Flynn!?"
Suddenly, she heard someone going up the steps. Turning her head to the side, she saw Rita running up the stairs.
"Rita?" Estelle gasped.
"There you are!" The brunette exclaimed. "Do you have any idea how worried we are?"
"What are you doing!?" Soul Calibur demanded.
Flynn narrowed his eyes. "Saving Lady Estelle from being corrupted by you!"
"What?" Estelle gasped.
"Lady Estelle, both of these swords are evil!" Flynn said looking back behind him. "Both of them will corrupt whoever wields them to do their bidding!"
"Yeah, some guy with glowing skin told us that!" Rita said.
"What? So you're saying that Soul Calibur can't cure Ukyo?" Estelle asked.
"Was probably just a ruse to get you to wield her." Flynn snapped.
"Ugh… I knew it was a mistake having that time guardian as one of the stars of destiny." Soul Calibur groaned.
"How could you? You call yourself the sword of order and yet you lure people in only to corrupt them!" Estelle snapped.
Rita crossed her arms. "So what do we with these things?"
"What else do we do?" Ukyo asked speaking for the first time since he gotten up.
With that, he made his way over to the two swords.
"Um, what are you doing?" Soul Calibur asked not liking where she was going.
"You wouldn't dare!" Soul Edge said darkly.
Ukyo didn't listen. He just closed his head and put his hand on his handle. He then slashed at the two swords. However, they looked unfazed.
Suddenly, the two swords broke the two surprising the others.
"Did that guy just slashed those two in half?" Rita asked.
"Such skill." Flynn said in awe.
The fragments of both Soul Calibur and Soul Edge fell on the ground. Then, they soon turned into balls of light and floated upwards.
"I doubt we see those swords ever again." Ukyo said.
Suddenly, he coughed.
"Ukyo!" Estelle gasped as he and Flynn ran to his side.
"Are you all right?" Flynn asked confused.
"Yes, sadly, this is normal for me." Ukyo said.
"Don't worry. Lady Estelle is a great healer. She can heal you." Flynn said.
"No, I can't." The princess said shaking her head. "This world limits my healing artes."
"You two?" Rita asked in disbelief. "This stupid place practically DISABLES mine!"
"I am sorry. I can't help you." Estelle said looking down.
"Don't apologize. I doubt that even at your full strength, you wouldn't have cured me anyway." Ukyo said.
"Well, that is quite rude." Flynn said sternly.
"No, I had this illness since I was a child." Ukyo frowned. "The best doctors in the world couldn't cure me."
"Ukyo…" Estelle said.
"Estelle, was it?" Ukyo asked. "Despite my negative reactions to your idea says otherwise, I am very grateful for you going to all this trouble just to cure me."
"But, I couldn't cure you and…" Estelle said.
Ukyo shook his head with another cough. "I appreciate your effort but you can't cure the world. I am saying that you should stop trying to cure as much as you can…"
Estelle paused at this. Suddenly, the four heard strange noises. Looking around, they found two portals opening up.
"What the?" Flynn asked.
"Hey, Flynn! Estelle! Rita!" Yuri's voice called out. "Where are you?"
Estelle's eyes widened. "That's Yuri's voice!"
"Well, it looks like whoever had been taken away from their worlds can now go home." Flynn said in relief.
"About that! Not that I don't mind getting close and personal but I prefer to fry my enemies!" Rita said.
"So it seems that we must part for now." Ukyo said.
"Yes." Flynn said. "I wish that we had the time to speak more."
"Me too." Ukyo said. "Listen, Estelle?"
"Hm?" The princess asked.
"Like I said, you can't change the world." Ukyo said. "But don't use your determination to try anyway."
Estelle paused. She then gave a warm smile and nodded.
"Right!"
...Returning to Brave Vesperia, Estelle continued to heal as many people as she could with her power…
NOTE: Estelle's episode was supposed to before Barbatos' but that would be that would be four people in a row who chose Soul Calibur over Soul Edge (or in Estelle and Talbain's case, before they found out she was just as evil). I let Barbatos first over her to give Soul Edge a chance.
