Felix's POV
I watched Abhash examine the blueprints and ideas I laid before him for my weapon. It was seven feet in length, slightly longer than I was. It was an intricate glaive, sharp on both sides of the blade with multiple jagged edges. On the opposite end, a rounded blunt end. It was for all intents and purposes a bow staff with a short sword on the end, but so much more. On the back end of the blade was a sharpened crescent shaped edge. He realized exactly what this was, and the deadly potential it had in my hands. I would have roughly an 11 foot reach with this weapon. He looked up at me and regarded me hesitantly.
"Any price you want for it I will pay." He shook his head quickly.
"No you can't afford the price for this weapon." Abhash said quite sure of the answer.
"Whatever the cost, the Vulturi will pay it…" I responded not understanding his hesistance.
"The price for the weapon is that you will never come for me, in this complex, you will never seek to hurt me, even under Vulturi command." I was taken aback. That wasn't an offer I could take.
"Abhash, you know I can't do that, If you break the law, I will come for you." I said sternly.
"Alright, then promise you will never lift this blade against me, and never lead a raid against me, unless I've broken the law." He said clearly. I didn't like his inference. He saw the disapproval.
"There will be a day when the Vulturi come for me, and my weapons… they will make up a rule, or say I broke one I never did to get these weapons I make because they are the best weapons in the world. When that happens I don't want you there with them." I scoffed.
"That won't happen." I said confidently.
"Then you have nothing to worry about making the promise." He said sternly. I finally nodded, the agreement was good, but it felt unfair.
"No I need to give you something more than that." I said not one to cut some one cheap.
"Just send any mercenary work my way you need in the future." He responded. I agreed readily, he did an amazing job, better than I could do at discretely killing someone or something.
"On to other business… here are the weapons you requested." He said handing my three katana in their sheaths. On the other end of the great hall were Ulrich and Ivan walking towards us. I tossed them each a katana.
"Rules are simple, if you get cut you're out, no matter how small, you two versus me. If your weapon touches the ground it's dead, you can't use it anymore." I watched with a smile as they both pulled out their swords and dropped their sheathes to the ground. I slowly pulled my sword out of it's sheath and held the sheath in my opposite hand.
"Let's start this." Looking down at the ground they appeared to think about picking up their sheathes.
"No… Your sheathes hit the ground… you can't use them anymore." Ivan grinned.
"No matter, there are still two of us, and only one of you." He said confidently.
"I like a challenge." I said grinning back at him. I immediately pressed the attack, Striking quickly with a vertical slash at Ivan, while he was off balance I turned and with a flurry of strikes with both my sheath and my sword put him on the defensive. I knocked his weapon hand away with my own. His grip was firm on the Katana and didn't falter. I struck his open hand as hard as I could with my sheath and kicked his chest throwing him back. I put my sheath behind my head for a quick block before turning around and starting my assault on Ivan. I pressed him as hard as I could knowing I'd only have a couple seconds before Ulrich got back in to the fray.
I blocked down Ivan's blade turning his wrist up. I made a strong striking motion even as he was running backwards to stop my advances. I felt his grip on the sword weaken. I kept pushing forward trying to put as much space between myself and Ulrich. Ivan had very good foot work to run backwards at such a pace. I put my sword under his blade and struck his wrist again with my sheath before pulling up with my sword as hard as I could flinging his blade in to the air behind me as I chased after Ivan. I heard the sound of Ulrich moving quickly behind me then the hard sound of him jumping through the air. His robes blew quickly. I turned my head quickly to assess the situation and check how close he was to me.
My attention was drawn more closely to him as I saw him catch Ivan's katana in midair. He motioned to Ivan whom I had momentarily taken my attention off of. I turned back to see Ivan running up a strong pillar, before I could react he was seven feet above me flying overhead.
Ulrich gently tossed the Katana up and Ivan caught it as he flew through the air past him. Ulrich was coming down against me fast. The mass of all his force slammed in to my sword with his. I buckled under his weight, strength and force getting down to one knee holding against his sword.
I summoned all my strength and stood up and pushed him off throwing him backwards through the air. He flipped and landed beside Ivan.
"So this is going to be fun." I grinned at my two pupils. They had only fought together a couple of times but even now they seemed to sense each other, feel each other out. They worked so well together it was too bad they both wouldn't survive. It was a harsh reality but it was still reality. In the matter of a couple short months one of them would cease to exist.
Over the past months of training their newborn rage and strength had worn out, but they were still plenty strong. Ivan was stronger than Ulrich and Ulrich was slightly faster than Ivan. I luckily still held the speed advantage on both of them, and the strength advantage on Ulrich. Ivan matched me almost perfectly in strength. In Ulrich's defense I was unusually fast for someone my size. It's what gave me the edge I've had for all these years.
They both charged again. I slide to my left a bit trying to put distance between myself and Ulrich while dealing with Ivan. I managed to side step at the last second putting Ivan between us. I put my left arm up in a weak position for a block, I had to make it visible but not obvious. Ivan was brash, but not stupid. I put the block up that didn't look weak on the first glance but the way my wrist was positioned gave it away.
Ivan jumped on it with a strong strike that would nearly break my best block much less this half assed one. I let go of the sheath a moment before. The strike landed throwing Ivan off balance when he did strike. I stepped to the side as I watched my sheath slam against the ground with incredible force, Ivan was slightly off balance expecting a guard of some kind. I took that moment step past him and strike, I cut a thin slit in his arm as I went by. I jumped backwards instinctively putting distance between us.
Ivan was really angry, his nostrils flared up in anger. He prepared to charge in anger but stopped himself.
"Rules are when the weapon hits the ground its dead?" Ivan said with an evil sneer. I didn't understand where he was going with his argument.
"And… if you get hit you're out." I said reinforcing the last part. I smiled evilly falling to his knees dramatically. Then he threw his sword backwards to Ulrich who easily caught it. I smiled seeing Ivan's plan. They really are starting to work together. I wish there was a way they both could survive but there wasn't. They'd kill each other. Right now that wasn't my concern as I saw Ulrich charging at me with two swords drawn and swinging with deadly precision.
I needed to stay on the side of his body as much as possible, neutralizing one blade. I tossed my Katana to my left hand a moment before quickly slipping my arm between Ulrich's arm and body. I reached my arm around his pulling me closer and pulled my sword around with a cutting motion across Ulrich's back only a split second before I felt a similar hot blade across my back. I let go of my weapon and backed away. It'd been a long time since my body had been opened. I winced as I looked back at Ulrich who was mirroring the same look.
"So who won?" Ivan asked quickly. I saw Ulrich sigh quietly before shaking his head acknowledging it.
"Felix did… barely, but he got me first." Ivan grumbled.
"We had you…" Ulrich said smiling.
"Yeah, because it was definitely a fair fight, two on one." I responded. Ulrich shrugged in response.
"You're the one who made these rules" I couldn't argue with his logic.
"Well I guess that's all of this drill let's get on to the next one."
Carlisle's POV
"Everything is set. We just need to find the right time." I said with gleeful anticipation.
"What do you need to complete your task, Dr. Cullen." I smiled.
"Six or so of our fighters, preferably not our best, in case something should go wrong. Our plan is to kill their precious Felix, destroying the captain of their guard and making sure they know it was us, the Cullens." I smiled evilly. Everything was falling in to place. It was too easy. Those stupid Vulturi would run headfirst in to the Cullen's and the bloodbath would ensue. Hopefully they'd wipe each other out completely, but I couldn't be too hopeful, we would rise. And for a while I would pretend to be their partner. Then I'd kill them and take their places. When I ruled the world alone then I would change this world in to the world I wanted. No vampire would hide from our meals, we would feast and travel any time, human's would hide from us. I smiled thinking to myself.
'It will be our utopia.'
So sorry for the long wait between chapters! I've been writing a lot, interestingly enough the longest fight scene I've wrote to date isn't in this story but "what Fate took from Embry" the chapter named "Folsom Prison Blues" If you've already read it then you're just super duper! Lol… yeah… umm review, and my time between updates will be exponentially shortened. Thanks for your patience and support. Remember to review, give knucks, rolls of twenty dollar bills, and high fives. Catch you on the flipside.
