Here it is! The first, official 'Boss Battle Chapter' of this story! I really had fun writing this chapter, but I could hardly find any time due to the fact that I'm on my Xbox One playing Destiny or on my PC playing Minecraft with my friends. But don't worry! I'm STILL writing these series with a smile across my face! I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Boss Battle Chapter Twelve: Colossal Fragment
Frost's POV
I stood on top of a circular sheet of metal that was welded into the vast concrete ground of the arena as the grey walls towered up to as high as eight metres, caging both me and my opponent inside of this death hole. The rules are simple. Fight, but don't kill. The crowd screamed endlessly in joy and enthusiasm as I smiled proudly and stood as straight as a wall, staring at the other side of the field right at my opponent who looked similar to Blue, only did she wear a red dress that reached her knees and thankfully didn't have any spikes or anything weaved onto it. Her hair was red and so were her eyes. But nothing about her frightened me or intimidated me the slightest... It was what she had on her.
She had a massive, shiny red cannon on her right hand and a smaller version on her left that looked like it had SEVEN chambers... As if that wasn't enough, she had a red blade hanging from the right of her waist. Argh... If her weapons are gone, then I can take her on up close. Let's see how this goes! In my right hand, I held my Ezarca as tightly as possible as my left hand pulsated with a black, shadowy aura that made me look like some sort of underworld magician. Or maybe even a necromancer! Who can tell!?
My attire today were long, black pants, a black shirt for maximum comfort, a white shirt underneath and finally, my epic grey shoes that had NEVER let me down once. This should be good.
"ARE YOU ALL READY!?", A voice exclaimed from high above, sounding slightly off from the one yesterday... Sort of grouchy and croaky.
"AHHHHHH!", The crowd screamed in pure enthusiasm, unable to contain their lust for us to begin this bloody battle of the last man standing.
The girl returned the stare, looking deeply into my soul with what looked like a small, friendly smile plastered across her face. What is she up to?
"THE RULES ARE STILL THE SAME! NO KILLING! LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEE!", The voice exclaimed through a loud speaker, causing my ears to strain in pain as I kept them folded, never wanting to show my identity to anyone... This is beginning to feel extremely fishy... Rumble?
"TEN!", The crowd screamed with high hopes and joy, causing my heart to skip a beat as I felt a tremendous amount of energy from underneath the arena. Mostly from the middle section. Is this Her doing?
"Nine!". dammit... I'm getting scared now? Argh... What is this feeling?! It's like the time when I fought against the GraveDigger!... Wait...
"Eight!". GraveDigger. Impossible! What am I thinking?! Argh! My head hurts! I grit my teeth gently, trying to figure out what and who's energy the one I'm feeling belonged to as I continued to stare at Red with my two, multicoloured eyes that showed nothing but confusion and worry mixed with a good dose of courage... But how long will that last for me?
"Seven!". Red doesn't look like she notices the power, but that doesn't explain why she's smiling... What's she thinking?! Dammit! It's getting stronger!
"Six!". I grunted, blinking hard as I gripped my Ezarca even more tightly with my right hand, getting ready for whatever the hell had all that energy. It's coming from underground, and that's all I know right now...
"Five!". Only five seconds left then I'll truly see who and what the hell this thing is! I need to do this right!
"Four!", the crowd screamed just before the ground trembled slightly, causing both me and Red to look down at our feet in both confusion and wonder... A tunneller?
"Three!". I gasped, taking a step back as the ground now shook twice as hard. An earthquake?! A few gasps and screams emitted from within the crowd, but nevertheless, they still counted down.
"Two!". At that moment, I jumped backwards, landing perfectly on my feet with bent knees as I held my blade in front of my face dangerously, watching the middle of the arena instead of my opponent, knowing that something is going to sprout out and cause mayhem...
"One!"... My chest throbbed. My mind burnt. My soul screamed... I was completely frightened out of my wits the moment a black, shadowy face appeared from absolutely nowhere and screamed right at my face, causing my eyes to widen in pure shock and horror... What the hell is that!?
"AHHHHHH!", Almost everyone in the stands screamed in pure terror as the image disappeared from my face along with the shaking of the ground, leaving me stunned and completely petrified to what I had just witnessed... I stared at Red blankly, watching her clutch onto her head with both her hands as her weapons lay still to the ground beside her... What's going on!?
I grit my teeth, blinking twice and forcing myself out of the trance as I shook my head left and right, getting out of my current state of fear. Dammit! That was one hell of a fright!
I took a step back, hearing the wails and the horrifying, blood curling screams of the crowd echo within my mind as it became the melody of this new mood that I've forgotten ever since the first time I entered the Realm of Insanity. I blinked twice again, feeling slightly light headed and uncertain of what was going on... It's complete chaos...
I stared at Red, watching her drop to her knees as the ground suddenly jumped up, causing me to bounce upwards for a brief moment as my insides pushed upwards painfully. During that moment of time, the middle of the field suddenly swelled up the slightest, revealing a large crack that told me so many things... Oh shit! I landed back on my feet, holding my Ezarca as tight as vices before launching myself forwards with lightning speed, slashing at the air in a diagonal manner once to resist friction. If I can get to the crack first without it bursting open, then I can do something extremely crazy! Let's hope for the best!
My heart trembled. The wind smacked my face harshly as it raged and whispered into my ears that STILL kept themselves hidden atop of my head. The screams of the crowd now sounded like echoes of a lost dream, making me grunt silently. Only fifteen metres to go!
"LOOK OUT FROST!", I heard a familiar voice scream from my right, causing my eyes to widen and head what she said, forcing myself to an abrupt stop that made me burn some rubber as I skidded across the ground a good two metres before finally stopping. The smell of burnt rubber lifted up to my nostrils, painfully irritating me as I looked to my right to see White rushing up to me with her white, legendary blade in her right hand as her hair fluttered behind her gracefully... "GET BACK!", She screamed and at once, I reacted, jumping back and looking up ahead of me to JUST watch a scythe miss my face by mere inches. H...haha! I could of sworn I saw my own reflection on the FUCKING BLADE!
"My fucking heart!", I exclaimed, gritting my teeth as I landed harshly on my feet, still staring dead ahead at an unearthly creature that resembled the 'Grim Reaper' in almost every aspect. Jet black, shadowy, moth eaten robes, a skull with soulless eyes from underneath his darkened hood and lastly, the infamous scythe known as the 'Reaper'. Dammit!
"Are you hurt!?", She asked me in worry, now taking my side as she panted loudly.
"No. I'm alright", I replied in a calm tone of voice, giving her a quick glance to my right with my multicoloured eyes, smiling warmly at her as she too, looked at me. "Any idea what's going on?", I asked, looking back at the creature that stood there, pulsating and breathing relatively loudly as the screams of the crowds eased progressively for ever passing second... Silence...
"Not a clue. But whatever it is, we have to kill it before it can cause anymore trouble. Sino nearly went insane when it's face popped from out of nowhere", White said with edge in her voice, gripping the black handle of her blade more tightly in anger. Sino... Now I have a reason to fight this thing other than the fact that I nearly had my face sliced off by it! Let's go!
"Then let's cut to the cheese", I said simply, giving her one final glance. He returned it, staring at me in the eye as we both nodded at the same time and looked straight ahead.
"On you", She said, making me blink slowly... Here I go!
I rushed forwards, pushing myself off the ground with brute force, rising to about a good metre in the air before landing back down on the ground, bending my knees to absorb most of the shock as I looked up at the huge, creature that posed as my opponent. My REAL opponent today.
He raised up his arms, holding his scythe high over his head as he starred at me with soulless, empty eyes that intimidated me the slightest. But not enough to drain me of courage! I play defective! I won't dodge this attack!
"Foolish mortal! You will pay the price of standing up to me with a mere blade!", He said in a demonic, lost, eerie voice that made me smile a little... Then, I saw something. Something on the tip of the scythe that INSTANTLY made me realise what I was up against... A purple, electrical orb... Oh shit! "I will devour your soul and digest you down into the pits of the underworld!". My pupils contracted, my heart skipped a beat and I nearly lost my sanity the moment it swung down at me... I fucking saw the face again! I grit my teeth and blindly jumped to the left, managing to avoid it's scythe that dug deep into the earth's crust smoothly as dust and chunks of concrete sprouted from the site like fireworks. Psychological attacks... Dammit!
"Frost! Are you ok!?", White screamed from the other side of the brown haze of death.
I blinked, looking up at the creature that stared now had it's eyes on White like it was interested in her... If that thing touches her, then I'll rip it's undead heart out with my mouth! I'm serious!
"Worry about yourself! He's looking right at you!", I screamed back, hearing his bony, metallic scythe lodge out from the earth noisily as rocks rolled towards my feet like balls... That power... What is it called!? I remember Shard teaching me about it! About some blades being able to pass another like nothing if they tried to block it... Argh! This is going to be a pain!
I blinked once, glancing at White for a split second as the haze died then back to the creature with a serious face, watching it walk towards her slowly as he held the scythe to his far right, ready to steal White's soul...
"Perfect Mortal. A soul of pure white... After I take you, I'll be able to take the soul of pure black. That's IF I find whoever it is", The creature said, making my eyes widen as realisation hit me as hard as a brick... He doesn't know who I am!
At once, White charged at him, sending an uppercut with her blade but was dodged by the Reaper with a side step, now standing to the left of her, causing her eyes to widen in pure shock and fear to how sudden his movements were. I ran forwards with full speed, clutching my blade with my lone, right hand as tightly as possible as dark energy channelled down my left hand, creating an energy ball in my palms. White, JUST ducked his slash, barely touching any of her strands of white hair and stood up once again. As fast as possible, she sent a horizontal slash at him, only did he bounce back and suddenly spin around counter clockwise, bringing in another horizontal slice with his bony white scythe that this time, managed to slit a good portion of White's right thigh... I gasped as she cried with pure, utter agony, falling down onto her right side as she clutched onto it dearly like her life depended on it... Blood sprayed out like a loose hose, painting the concrete and the tip of the scythe in her crimsons...
"WHITE!", I screamed the loudest I could muster, making my grey, cat-like ears to pop out of their hiding places as my long, dangerous tail came back to sight with it's jagged spikes ready to have some fun... I felt like I was loosing myself in the pure amount of anger filling me up to my bones, but I contained myself as dearly as possible, not wanting to create an irreversible mess with my own hands... I jumped high up into the air, holding my blade in front of me before spinning it around my hand, now holding it in reverse as my left hand charged up with black, powerful energy that was supplied from my rage and near-insane situation...
"Black Heart?", He said in a welcoming tone, making me want to spit on him and chop him up into dozens of pieces...
"TAKE THIS!", I exclaimed at the top of my lungs, smashing the tip of the blade down onto the earth, causing it to shudder for a brief moment as all eyes were now on me, wondering who and just what the fuck I was. I'm a FrostBitten! I twisted my blade with all my might, forcing a TONNE of power into it which forced the ground in front of me to part ways as a beam of darkness shown though the crack like magma. It smashed right into the Reaper like a freight train filled with a mega tonne of nuclear warheads. Just like that, a massive, controlled exothermic implosion occurred right on his chest, forcing all of the impact right onto him with launched him to the wall far behind him with super sonic speed, emitting one of the loudest noises I've ever heard in my entire life. But I wasn't effected at all. I was too angered and too 'out-of-my-mind' to even FEEL my own pain. A smoke was all left to where he was, blinding me completely from vision, tho I could still hear and feel his presence...
I knew with all my heart that he wouldn't go down without a fight. At once, the smoke cleared off from the middle, now resembling a ring as the Reaper appeared in the middle of it with his scythe held high in above his head, ready to strike me as his eyes burnt brightly like beacon with a demonic dark red. Perfect!
"MORTAL! YOU WILL PAY!", He yelled in a hoarse tone. I smiled warmly in both amusement and confidence. I held my blade in front of my face as I bent my knees slightly, watching his scythe bullet down straight for my blade... NOW!
At once, I jumped up and clashed with his scythe, causing an explosion of red and yellow sparks to emit as the infamous screeching of our blades filled the very air with it's melody. With force so strong that not even Overturn not Charcoal would be able to resist, I shattered his scythe, making the red, flame-like eyes that housed in his soulless eye sockets contract into a tiny, concentrated ball of pure fear...
"Mortal, who are you?", He asked as time went as slow as light itself. Thousands of pieces of his bone scythe surrounded my face as my blade continued it's agonisingly slow journey to his neck...
"The REAL Grim Reaper. Welcome to my hell", I said calmly with a smile plastered across my face...
"I see... Then I'm in your debt, new master", He said, making my eyes widen to what he had just said... Master?... Time resumed back to normal. My blade struck his neck and went through it almost like it wasn't even there, taking of his his head a a strange, new power struck my bones and veins like syringes. I grunted in mid air, falling down onto my feet painfully as I bent my knees down and grasped onto them tightly, trying to fight off a strange pain that stung me internally... Argh! It feels like someone's injecting me a thousand times!...
I looked up, to see White on the ground, screaming in pain as she clutched her stomach like her life depended on it... What's going on?...
"W...W...Whaaaaght", I puked out blood as White did so as well... It splashed all over the ground and got onto my shoes and the bottom of my pants... Am I... Dying?...
"Commence teleport", Was the last thing I heard before White's body suddenly turned into a colony of white spherical particles that flew off into the clear, breezeless sky... Bloody... Drago...
I completely blanked out...
Drago's POV
Frost really knows how to fight using his mind. Who would've thought to have an intention to attack and strike the blade at the same time instead of blocking it? That's one Fragment down, now only a few more to go... Frost should be able to find out what he should do when he wakes up in the far southern region of Corozin...
"Charcoal. Now that we have two pieces in play, shouldn't we do something about the others?", Coal asked.
"I already have something for them to do. They're the guardians of the Colour Academy. And out of all of them, only three stands out as War Lords".
"Chaos, Frosty and Milk?", Coal asked. I chuckled.
"No. Dark Heart, Pure Heart and Light Heart. Jace and Star", I said in a small fit of laughter.
"Why's that?", He asked.
"Star is the Heart of Light AND a maiden, meaning that she is able to control the elements of lightness. The last time, she called in an army of dragons to her aid of fury. If she can do it, then so can Jace and Pure. A triple army of relentless yet kind army", I explained.
"Nova's also going to be with Frost and White at south", Charcoal said.
"Nova? I haven't heard or seen her in a while", I said.
"She was at her country to see how things were going and... Things got ugly. It turns out that she's a criminal for baring one of the three world's most strongest magic", He explained.
"What is it?", Coal asked.
"Void"... What...
"Forsheer changed history, meaning that everything we knew about the world before, is all but a lie. He remodelled it with Overturn like evil scientists", Charcoal explained... Damn... "Overturn will join us shortly. He hasn't completely finished the final task in the Realm of Insanity"... History was changed to, huh?...
