Hey guys! I hope you liked that last chapter! I heard from my friend that it was the worst chapter I've written. As I said before, I can't write fight scenes, not saying I can write at all, but I suck at fight scenes the most. And now part two of my terrible fight scene, I hope you like it!

He closes his eyes for a second, and when he opens them again, a ball of darkness starts forming in front of him.
Was my hunch wrong?
I watch as the darkness grows bigger, too in shock to do anything.
Hachiro lifts a finger and moves it towards me, but as he does so, the darkness disperses and he falls to his knees.
He looks at his hands and mutters something that sounds a lot like "So it was a spell stronger than my own."
He stands up, seemingly unharmed from his little experiment before.
"So you are as strong as you let off," Hachiro says, examining his sword. "But you can't hurt your friends."
"Is that bad?" I ask.
"Yes," Hachiro says. "I can very easily use that against you."
I ignore him, trying to think of a spell.
Come on Crystal, think!
Hachiro must see that I'm confused, because he lunges at me with his sword.
Instinctively, I yell "Nothingness construct: Shield!" and cross my hands in front of me, thinking that the spell won't work.
I wait for the blow, but it doesn't come. I open my eyes and see Hachiro kneeling on the ground in front of the shield, with his sword pushing against it.
Did that actually work? I thought that spell would be too weak.
Hachiro jumps back, and I wave my hand to the side, making the shield disappear.
"I didn't think I'd need to pull out my other sword this early," Hachiro says, opening his robe, revealing a second sword.
He draws it, and holds it out in front of him.
It's shape is similar to his first sword, but this sword looks more deadly.
"This sword can create whatever I wish, as long as it is a tangible object," Hachiro says, seeing my confused expression.
"So a sword that can negate and another that can create?" I sum up. "That doesn't seem quite fair, I might have to get rid of one."
"Good luck," Hachiro taunts.
I point at his second sword and mutter "Cut"
Hachiro seems to have heard me and moves his first sword of negation in the way, and breaks through my spell.
So that's how it is. I guess I won't need to hold back, as long as there's a forcefield.
"Nothingness Construct: Forcefield," I say, as a black fog starts seeping out from behind me, creating a forcefield around us.
It's a thin layer, just so that there is still light, but there's no way to break through this.
"Let's try this again," I say, putting my hands a small distance apart from each other. "Darkness Manipulation."
I open my hands more, and the darkness between them grows.
"This again?" Hachiro asks, readying his swords.
The darkness starts heading towards him, growing with every second.
Hachiro puts out his swords in front of him, crossed.
The darkness continues to grow, and by the time it reaches Hachiro, it's the size of a boulder.
He kneels again, and pushes his swords against the darkness, my darkness.
Suddenly I feel weak. I don't switch out of my nether form, but I know that my time like this is just about over.
Crystal, you need to maintain this until you beat this guy. Just a little while longer.
Through sheer willpower, I try to maintain my form, trying not to show that I'm weakened.
The darkness, however, gives something away, by not growing and instead getting smaller, but stopping where it is, in terms of size.
It keeps pushing towards Hachiro, though, so I hope he won't notice.
Hachiro jumps to the side, maybe seeming that I was weaker, and the darkness moves forward, hitting my forcefield and dispersing.
"Looks like you can only stay like that for so long," Hachiro says.
I need to end this quickly. I have a spell that can take away his magic, don't I? Or at least switch it.
I point both of my hands at his swords, one pointed at the sword in his left hand and one pointed at the sword in his right.
"Switch," I say, using as much power as i can, so that he can't negate it.
I'm not sure if it worked, but there's only one way to find out. I point at his left sword and mutter "Cut" for the third time.
Hachiro mustn't know that I tried to switch his sword magic, because he just holds his sword out in front of him.
Instead of negating my spell, his sword shatters.
Hachiro looks stunned and I take that chance to say "Nothingness Construct: Cage!" and form a cage around Hachiro, trying to make it strong enough to cut through it.
I disperse the force field and focus my energy on the cage.
"Absorb," I say, pointing at Hachiro's sword, taking it's magic, turning it into a normal sword.
Those powers would return to him in a few days, but better not tell him yet.
I drop to my knees, and feel my nether form waiver.
I've overused it, haven't I.
It disappears, and a heavy sense of pain washes over me.
Shaking a little, I stand up, putting my hand over a bruised area on my arm.
Hachiro moves towards me, but I can't find the strength to move.
"I guess you were a worthy opponent," Hachiro says. "I suppose I should thank you. But master would be angry if I let you go. Sorry about this."
Hachiro lifts his sword, and brings the hilt down on my head, making me black out.
When I come to, I'm still on the building and everyone's still fighting.
I sit up, but I don't have enough magic to heal myself.
How long was I out?
I look around for Hachiro, in case he's fighting someone else, but he's nowhere to be found.
Looking around at the other battles, it seems like everyone else is winning.
I guess I can just relax for a bit.
I glance over at Creation and The Unknown, and it seems like they have a forcefield as well.
Both of them are covered in cuts and bruises. The Unknowns cloak is ripped, but somehow his hood is still up.
All that and he still feels the need to hide his face
I feel someone shake my shoulder, and look up to see Mai.
"I guess you won your fight?" I ask.
"Yup," Mai smiles, sitting down next to me. "You know this isn't the best time to be relaxing, right?"
"Yeah, but I'm out of magic power," I reply.
I turn my head to get a good look at Mai, and she's covered in sand.
"What happened to you?" I ask. "You look like you just went to the beach."
Mai shakes her head. "I was fighting a guy made of sand, what did you expect?"
"You know, I'm not really sure what I expected," I say, honestly.
"Stupid…" Mai says under her breath, and I can see her smile.
I smile a little, even though everyone else is fighting hard.
"We should help the others," I say, looking at Erza and Alex, who are both breathing heavily, while Arya seems to be okay, aside from the cut going down his arm.
"Aren't you out of magic?" Mai asks.
"Yea, but still," I reply, getting up. "It's better we don't risk anyone's life."
"That's just like you, Crystal," Mai says. "By the way, before I forget..."
"Yeah," I say, turning to her, only to get hit on the back of the head. "Ouch! What was that for?"
"How the hell did you manage to get yourself kidnapped?!" Mai yells at me.
I laugh a little. "I have no idea."
"Don't ever do anything like that again," Mai says. "Besides, if you're as strong as you say, you should have been again to break free."
"Jeez, you sound like my mother," I say, rolling my eyes.
Mai gives a small laugh. "Let's go."
I look over at Natsu and Gray and they seem to be finishing up.
"I'll head to the Unknown," I say. "In case something happens. You go help Erza and Alex, just don't take too long."
"Ok, I'll be with you shortly," Mai smiles and runs off to Erza and Alex.
I make my way to The Unknown and he seems to have everything under control. Creation is on his knees and the Unknown has a sword in his hand.
What am I doing? I feel so stupid waiting for someone to finish a fight.
Nevertheless, I wait for The Unknown to finish up.
After about a ten minutes, everyone else joins me.
Arya, Daichi, and Fumio all unconscious. Hachiro still nowhere to be found.
The forcefield around them disappears, and Creation looks powerless, with just a sword in his hand.
"I've won," The Unknown says. "Stop fighting."
"Just let me do this," Creation says, lifting his sword.
The Unknown also readys his sword, in case Creation attacks.
Instead of attacking The Unknown, he throws his sword at me.
Too shocked to move, I stand there.
"Crystal!" I hear someone yell.
I feel someone push me to the side, and see blood splatter the roof.
I look up to see Alex, with a sword impaled in her side.
The Unknown casts a spell or something on Creation, and Creation collapses.
"Alex!" I yell, crawling back to her.
The sword goes all the way through her, and blood starts pouring out of her wound.
"Why…" I whisper.
Ooooo, will Alex survive? Probably, because I won't be able to kill her off. Sorry for the late update, but it took me forever to write the fight, because I suck at that. Anyways, see you all next time! Bye!
