Here's where the battle begins of Professor Banner versus Jaylin Yuki. This is going to be a very intense battle. I'm hoping to bring my readers at the edge of their seats XD Review please!
Professor Banner made the first move and sent a breath-stopping wave against Jaylin, shooting her out of the cave. Carl felt the push and landed on the grassy ground. She scrapped herself on her right arm, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. She rolled onto her side, checked her wound, then searched for Jaylin. Jaylin was found against a tree, which had fallen, golden eyes shining from her eyes.
Professor Banner walked casually out of the cave with his usual smile. He ripped the cloak off him, showing an almost torn buttoned, collar shirt and dirty black pants. His glasses were no longer shown on his face, only red crimson eyes, much like Yugi's, only darker. He stared straight at Jaylin, who then began showing a smirk upon her lips, licking them.
"I feel hungry for death," Jaylin said darkly, letting the darkness flow through her veins.
"J-Jaylin..." Carl almost whispered, eyes slightly widened.
"Then, let's feed you," Professor Banner smirked, zooming to Jaylin and punching her in the stomach, sending her closer to the edge near the ocean waters.
Jaylin glared, zooming into the darkness, then concealing herself. Professor Banner chuckled humorlessly, saying, "you can't hide from me, young one."
The professor swiftly kicked the tree Jaylin was standing on, swinging her from the tree as she smirked, letting the wind fly her into the air. Soon, a bunch of logs flew with her, one of them catching her. Professor Banner chuckled darkly, who also controlled his set of logs that began aiming straight for Jaylin. She dodged them easily, sometimes twirling the log and using it as a bat, then rolling upside down, and back up again. She was traveling on the log, a smirk upon her lips.
"Do you really think you can catch me?" Jaylin smirked darkly, her golden eyes shone brightly.
"I don't need to," Professor Banner stated, jumping highly onto the log Jaylin was sitting on before she lifted herself up with her hands, behind her, then tried kicking her teacher.
Professor Banner jumped over the kick, realizing that the log was moving to the side, so he used the dark energy to push him toward Jaylin, making her fly off the log toward the ocean waters. She used the dark energy to push her back on the land, landing on her feet as her professor joined with her. They were now on at the edge near the ocean waters.
They ran for each other and began punching and kicking. Jaylin would use the trees to give her support, while Professor Banner used logical ways of taking down his opponent. He would continually take down each tree Jaylin was on before she jumped onto the other. Eventually, she began flying off on one again, making the professor jump onto that fallen tree.
The tree was slowly moving as the duo began shooting dark energy blasts at each other. Jaylin swiftly dodge and so did Professor Banner. The professor smirked, using his dark energy to make all sorts of branches target his student. Jaylin was dodging them, trying to avoid any other attack from the professor. Though, she was eventually knocked off by a dark energy blast.
Eventually, Jaylin was being carried away by the back of her shirt, looking up to see it was by Professor Banner's hand.
"Those angry eyes look so familiar. Tell me, Miss Yuki, didn't the Orichalcose leader last summer have those same gold eyes?" The professor asked before hitting Jaylin into a tree face first.
Jaylin could feel the rage building inside of her as she wiped the blood off the corner of her lip. She didn't even realize her roommate was nearby, looking out for her. Professor Banner came out from the shadows as Jaylin zoomed her way toward him and pinned him to a giant boulder. Her eyes blazing with anger and lust.
"Ah, so it was those gold eyes. A very passionate leader. Cruelty in those gold eyes, not willing to show any mercy. You are a true killer, Jaylin Yuki," Professor Banner smirked.
"Maybe I am," Jaylin smirked lustfully, chuckling so darkly as she slowly wrapped one hand around her teacher's neck, keeping him frozen stiff. "Tell me, how would you like it? I like it bloody... from the inside out."
"That's what I feel should happen to you," Professor Banner replied, his eyes glowing red before swinging Jaylin by one arm toward the ocean.
Jaylin glared, letting the energy push her back on land, only to be caught by Professor Banner, then thrown back. Jaylin kept using the dark energy to throw her back to the island, but she kept getting caught by the hands of her teacher. No matter which way she aimed, she was always caught. It was getting frustrating and that made her more angry. Eventually, she aimed a dark strike at her teacher, sending him off guard before she used the dark energy to bring her back on land.
"You're really enjoying yourself, aren't you," Jaylin smirked, licking her lips.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself too. It seems I was right. You are very lustful. You also are drawn to anger as well," Professor Banner said.
"You did betray me," Jaylin smirked, chuckling darkly.
Suddenly, Jaylin felt something sting her all over her body. She screamed bloody murder before seeing a blurry charm of some sort that was glowing a white bright light on the ground near her, which she had steped on. A dark chuckle came from Professor Banner, smirking lustfully.
"Did you think I would not be prepared to take you down. Your powers are far beyond mine, so I must even the stakes," Professor Banner explained, taking Jaylin by the back of her shirt.
Jaylin gave Professor Banner a nasty glare, showing her teeth. She quickly tackled her teacher to the ground, trying to dig into his shirt to get the scroll out. The teacher smirked, then turned over, pinning Jaylin to the ground and keeping her hands off him.
"Sneaky, aren't you?" the professor smirked as Jaylin kicked him of. She had to make him pay for betraying her trust.
Jaylin zoomed over to Professor Banner to punch him, but missed before being kicked from behind. She found herself flying toward the same boulder she pinned her teacher on a moment ago. She got up, finding blood smeared onto the rock. The pain felt like nothing.
"So full of darkness, aren't you?" Professor Banner smirked as Jaylin sent a dark blast at him, which he dodged. "So full of anger and lust. Wanting to get a taste of my blood. Wanting to gain your beautiful revenge."
"You got the idea," Jaylin smirked darkly, making sure to sneak a kick at her teacher's side before sending him off against a bunch of bushes.
"Jaylin..." Carl called in fear.
"Get out of my way, Carl," Jaylin said, using a light push of her dark energy to push Carl back.
Carl hit against a tree, feeling the pain as she laid on the ground. She painted, realizing her vision was blurred before she passed out.
Meanwhile, Jaylin and Professor Banner continually fought each other roughly, sending blasts, kicks and punches. The professor eventually threw Jaylin into the cave they came out of originally. Jaylin got up, blood now smeared all over her face. The darkness surrounded her as she glared intensely at Professor Banner, whose eyes glared a crimson red.
"How much are you willing to let out?" Professor Banner asked, almost like he was challenging his student.
"As much as I need to," Jaylin replied, her eyes now fully gold as the rocks from inside of the cave were instantly being thrown directly at Professor Banner.
The pain from the rocks stung his body and face, though were nothing compared to the pain he went through daily, every week. It was now time to end this. The rocks eventually ran out and there was nothing, but dark energy. Jaylin let her body aim for Professor Banner, blasting herself onto him and throwing them both deeper into the forest, almost breaking through trees. This darkness was incredibly strong, the professor was almost speechless.
AS soon as the duo landed on solid ground, the earth began to shake and Professor Banner began feeling an emotion. The emotion he hadn't felt for a while. An emotion of fear. Jaylin's eyes were still fully gold, darkness bursting out of her body, almost like the beast had been summoned inside her body. This beast was unstoppable, one that had been asleep until now.
"STOP!" Jaylin cried, the earth still shaking until she felt arms wrapped around her, holding her like a newborn.
The earth slowly stopped quaking, making it seem like it might've been one of Japan's normal earthquakes. Jaylin's darkness began to cool down, her eyes slowly dimming from it's bright gold to a hazel. Her eyes then drooped shut. She was held close, fingers brushing strands away from her face as she moaned. There was a strong emotion of light she felt from those two arms that held her close. This light emotion called love.
Jaylin slowly opened her eyes, moaning and trying to figure out who this person was that calmed her down. She gasped slightly when she realized it was Professor Banner, who was staring at the horizon with wonder.
"I..." Jaylin whispered hoarsely as the professor chuckled sarcastically.
"I suppose you know now. I don't think I could've made myself win the Shadow Game anyways," Professor Banner admitted, smiling sadly. "I had a family, you know. I had a wife and two sons, wonderful boys too. My first son died from a a car accident, second from being shot and murdered at a grocery store, then my wife... she had cancer. I had only my job, then I was caught with T. E. N. For so long, I thought I had nothing to live for. I was in so much pain, it was unbearable. I had believed a week a year was better than forever. The years passed and I would watch as Nightshroud, Truman and Tragoedia took each student one by one. I had grown used to that by then. I wrote all their names on that scroll to seal their souls and their bodies could be used as they wanted to spy or whatever the case may be."
"Why tell me this?" Jaylin asked, still confused, but not letting that anger cease. Though, the emotion she felt from Professor Banner was keeping her from being more angry than she should be.
"Because you gave me something to live for. I see you in myself, lost in the darkness. I had lived in that after my family died and was in constant pain. This sorrow gave me strength to control a Shadow Game. Then, I see you, born with such strong darkness and inability to control it. Your world is like a Gothic tale with anger, lust and sorrow, a great combination of every emotion of darkness. I feel myself wanting to calm it, calm the dark storm in your heart, wanting share those emotions with you. I don't know why. Maybe because I finally found someone who understands my pain more than anyone else and it is from a young teenage girl."
Professor Banner placed the scroll in Jaylin's hands, holding her tight in a hug. He whispered, "I'll always comfort you, Miss Yuki. You are such a wonderful student."
The professor laid Jaylin on the ground, then let go of the scroll. As soon as he released, blisters and peals surrounded his entire being and the pain returned back. He cringed and cried, tears squeezing from his eyes that were now swollen shut. Jaylin heard the whimpering of pain, turning and reaching for him, but as soon as she touched the professor, she felt that strong light emotion again and it knocked her to sleep with only one whisper leaving her mouth.
"Don't..."
