"Soul and Nikki will be battling in the laser room!" Chris yelled into his mic. The picture showed a black room with red glowing lines everywhere. "Be careful!"
Soul looked around. So this is why Elodie and Akarui didn't seem to notice anyone around them. He thought. He suddenly stepped back as a katana blade whizzed by his face. Nikki was a weapon too. A katana.
Soul ducked as she swung at his head. He took another step back, but suddenly flinched and rolled forward. His leg had hit one of the lasers. Apparently the lasers would cut right through whatever stood in line of one.
Soul continued to dodge the girl, when she suddenly stopped and backed up. Soul looked at her confused, then turned his arm into the scythe blade. He went forward to swing at her when he stopped. In front of them was a bunch of tiny lasers, almost invisible.
"I hope Soul doesn't get hurt." Maka said, watching as he and Nikki flew around, dodging both each other and the lasers. She turned to Avalyn. "Hey, I'm Maka." She extended her hand to the girl. Avalyn looked at her with coldness, then turned back to the fight. Maka was left hanging. Maka pulled back, then turned back to the battle.
Soul dodged yet another laser. They were making it hard for him. He ran forward and swung his arm at the girl. I don't have to kill her, right? Only get her unconscious? He thought.
"Thinking like that is going to make you lose." Soul suddenly realized he'd said that out loud. Oops. Nikki jabbed forward really fast, than again, than again. Both arms. Soul fell to the ground. She was about to stab him when he kicked upwards into her gut. She went flying, sailing through several lasers. She landed. Soul quickly grabbed her and set her in a different place. Where she had landed a laser was digging into her arm.
He sighed, then looked around. The room was still up.
"Why'd you save me? You would've won." Nikki was starting to get up.
"Nah. It wouldn't be cool to leave you there." Nikki stared at him.
"Do you really think you will be able to get everyone out of here if you win?" She ran at him. "There's no way. You can't."
"Well, I sure can try." Nikki froze. Her blade was inches from Soul's smiling face. "I mean, a cool guy like me wouldn't just leave everyone here. It's not right." Nikki stepped back.
"Don't disappoint me than." She raised her hand. "I believe in you. I forfeit."
The barrier suddenly fell down. Nikki smiled at him.
"You deserve it anyway. You would've probably won in the end. Just- Don't loose." Nikki disappeared in a flash of pink. Soul was brought to the top with the others. Replacing him was Kid and Akira. The screen one again came down and flashed through the pictures.
It took me a while to figure out how to write what would happen here. I'm sorry if it doesn't sound right! I got halfway through, then realized I didn't know what the rest of the battle would be like. Comes to show what happens with lack of planning and writers block. But you'll see. In the next chapter where Soul has to fight, you'll see.
