Cait Sith Showdown!

"ROAR!" Roared Cait Sith, instantly afterwards he begins to run and lunge towards Derek. Derek once again simply sidesteps, completely dodging the attack.
Derek draws his sword and swings it down towards Cait Sith. His sword doesn't even lay a scratch on Cait Sith's stone body.

"Well, that's going to be a problem." Said Derek, barely avoiding being scratched. Cait Sith once again lunges towards him, Derek slides underneath him and grabs the beast's belly.

"You sure you want to do that mortal?" Asked Cait Sith, once again sparking with electricity.

"AH! SHIT!" Yelled Derek recieving a shock, he quickly kicks Cait Sith off of him, and quickly distances himself from the statue.

"HRRRRAAAH!" Yelled the great beast spreading out the electrical beams towards Derek.

"Perfect." Thought Derek sarcastically. He instantly begins evading the electric beams, some of them barely hit him. Cait Sith once again attempts to lunge at him. Derek once again slides underneath him, causing Cait Sith to crash into a wall.

"If swords aren't going to cut it, maybe ARMs will." Thought Derek once again taking out his handgun.

Cait Sith moves out of the rubble from the wrecked wall, letting out a small growl while doing so.

Derek whistles to Cait Sith. Cait Sith instantly turns around and is met with a barrage of bullets.

"GRAH" Yelled Cait Sith, bits and pieces of stone falling off as each bullet makes impact with him.

"Guess you weren't made to withstand bullets, huh?" Asked Derek in a mocking tone. He continues to fire at Cait Sith.

"Laugh it up while you can mortal, this is far from over." Said Cait Sith, his body once again beginning to spark with electricity. "HRRRRAAAAAH!"

More electrical beams are fired towards Derek, Derek once again takes up evasion.

"You'd think a guardian such as yourself would have more in terms of tricks." Said Derek mockingly. "Huh?"

Cait Sith is shown charging up another energy blast in his mouth. He then fires it towards Derek.

"Woah Nelly!" Yelled Derek barely dodging the blast, the wall behind him explodes. Derek is then blindsided by Cait Sith, who proceeds to charge him into another wall.

CRASH!

"Derek!" Yelled April.

Cait Sith backs up and laughs confidently. "Poor stupid mortal should of realized what he was up against."

Cait Sith is once again shown to be getting riddled with bullets. "GRAH!"

"Thanks for the reload time there buddy, now eat lead!" Yelled Derek.

More stone bits fall off of Cait Sith as he is riddled with bullet after bullet after bullet.

"Just a few more seconds of this, and then maybe he'll be vulnerable enough for a sword swipe." Thought Derek.

"GRR! Impertinent mortal, when I get my hands on you, I'll..." Said Cait Sith.

"It was nice chatting with you Caity, but I'm afraid this is the end of the conversation!" Said Derek. He drags his sword out and slams it down upon Cait Sith's chipped head.

SMASH!

All the stones on Cait Sith's head fall off, what Derek sees next surprises him.

"What the Hell!?" Said Derek. Cait Sith's stone face was shown to be hiding a being of green energy.

"HRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAH!" Roared Cait Sith, who voluntarily shatters the rest of the stones on his body. Energy is shown to be sparking everywhere.

"Impressed mortal? What you see is my true form! Now die!" Yelled Cait Sith, who proceeds to lunge at Derek. Derek falls back, being pinned to the ground.
Electricity begins to spark all over Derek.

"GAH!" Yelled Derek from being electrocuted.

Suddenly we see a rock being at Cait Sith.

"What!? Who dares?" Questioned Cait Sith, he turns his head and it is revealed to be April who threw the stone.

"That's quite enough! Get off of him, now!" Yelled April.

"So you wish to share his fate? Very well, I'll be over there momentarily!" Said Cait Sith.

"Like Hell you will, you should always pay attention to your real opponent. Right Derek?" Asked April.

"Hell yeah." Said Derek who proceeds to put a bullet through Cait Sith's head.

BANG!

The force of the bullet sends Cait Sith's head upwards. Derek then proceeds to grab Cait Sith by the belly and throws him up towards the cieling of the room. Derek quickly stands back up and lifts his sword over his head. Cait Sith then falls on the sword, getting impaled.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Yelled the former guardian as electricity once again scatters all over the place, causing Cait Sith to eventually fade out of existance.

"As a guardian, I'm not impressed. I will say that light show he put at the end was amazing." Said Derek.

"You're welcome." Said April in a pouty voice.

"Oh, right, couldn't of done all that without you." Said Derek apologetically.

"Hm? Hey Derek, what's that near your feet?" Asked April.

"Huh?" Said Derek, he proceeds to look downward and sees a green gem like object. Derek then picks it up and observes it. The gem begins to glow brightly.

"What the!?" Asked Derek.

"You have fought well warrior." Said a mysterious voice. "Cait Sith was squandering the power invested in him, so now I shall invest my power unto you."

Derek's body is then swarmed with beams of electricity. The electricity however doesn't harm him surprisingly. A small explosion occurs and the room shakes.

"DEREK!" Yelled April. "Huh?"

The smoke clears, and Derek is shown to be absolutely fine, albeit a little weirded out.

"OK, now call me crazy, but did you happen to hear any other voice besides mine and yours?" Asked Derek. "Because I could of sworn I heard a voice before that little spectacle happened."

"No...What happened to your sword?" Asked April.

"Huh? WOAH!" Yelled Derek now looking at his sword. What was once along broadsword has now been shortened and curved slightly, it is shown also to be cackling with electricity.

"Things just keep getting weirder and weirder in this temple." Said Derek. "What happened to my sword!?"

"Wait a minute, electricity, and the sword is curved like that of an oxes horn. Could this...could this be the work of Noua Shax?" Asked April.

"Noua Shax? The Guardian of Thunder?" Asked Derek. He takes one last look at his new sword. "It wouldn't be completely out of the window, and if this is the power of one of the legendary Guardians, than things are only going to get more interesting from here on out."

"We can wonder about this type of thing later. We should head back and report to the archaeologists that we cleared out all the monsters...well, you cleared out most of them anyway." Said April.

"That last one I'm going to give you partial credit for. Can you walk?" Asked Derek.

"Barely." Said April.

Derek sheaths his new found sword and grabs April. The two of them then proceed to walk out of the room of the temple and eventually out back into the jungle.

"OK, first thing's first, we are definately getting that leg and hand of yours patched up." Said Derek.

"10 4 on that one." Said April. The two of them begin to walk into the jungle, soon disappearing into the dense plant life.
