Chapter 30
Marek
Shadow twirled his weapon while Marek readied himself. There was a pause before the two rushed one another. Clashing weapons, sparks flew off their blades with each strike. Pulling his spear back, Marek thrust it towards Shadow, only for Shadow to knock it away with his blade. Pulling back, Shadow created a fireball and threw it. Marek dove to the ground, aiming his weapon at Shadow and firing off shot after shot.
Shadow blocked each shot before rushing Marek. Bringing his sword down onto him, Marek raised his spear over his head, blocking the strike. "Why couldn't you have just done what you were told?" Shadow growled.
"And what...?" Marek grunted out as he struggled under Shadow's strength. "Hurt innocent people? Destroy lives? Kill because Salem says so?!" Marek pushed Shadow away.
Quickly recovering, Shadow swung again. Marek moved out of the way, swinging his spear and knocking Shadow onto his back. Firing off a shot, Shadow blocked it before launching another fireball at him.
Deflecting the fireball with his spear, it hit one of the buildings. "Our mother is going to change the world." Shadow told Marek. "A world where we're on top!"
"I don't want that." Marek replied as he reloaded his weapon.
"I don't give a damn what you want." Shadow replied. "Either you're coming home, or you're gonna die here."
"We'll see about that."
Reaching into his jacket pocket, Marek pulled out a dust vial. Before he could do anything, Shadow rushed Marek, swinging his sword and knocking the vial from his grasp.
Swinging again, Shadow hit Marek into a nearby building. Throwing a third fireball at him, Marek wasn't able to get out of the way in time. The force of the fireball pushed Marek through the wall.
Falling onto his back, Shadow threw a fourth fireball at the building itself, causing the whole thing to come crashing down on his brother.
Turning around, Shadow went to help Tyrian. However, as the dust settled, Marek rushed from the building.
Hearing Marek's footsteps, Shadow ducked as Marek swung his spear at him. Shadow tried to block the attack, but his sword was knocked from his grip.
Leaning back as Marek swung again, Shadow grabbed his wrist and twisted it, forcing him to drop his weapon. Kicking the spear away, Shadow pushed Marek back.
Now with the two of the unarmed, they both raised their fists. "I remember training you in hand-to-ha-"
Marek rushed Shadow and threw a punch. Leaning back to dodge it, Shadow moved a few feet away. "You talk too much."
Marek threw punch after punch, forcing Shadow to go on the defensive. He blocked each attack for a few seconds before grabbing Marek's fist. Hitting Marek with the back of his fist, he stumbled back as Shadow kept up the assault. With each punch Shadow threw, Marek tried to block them but couldn't because they were too quick.
As Shadow punched Marek again, his aura broke. Hitting Marek in the gut, he fell to the ground, coughing. Shadow gripped his shirt as he punched Marek again and again and again.
Hitting him one more time, Marek fell to the ground, blood dripping from his nose and mouth. Taking a step back as Shadow caught his breath, he saw his sword laying a few feet away. Walking over to retrieve it, he looked it over.
"We both knew how this would end." Shadow said as he walked back over to Marek. "We both know that you're no match for me." raising his sword, he brought it down. Before it could reach Marek, a shot rang out as Ruby fired a round at Shadow.
Stumbling back and holding his shoulder, he turned to the source of the shot. Seeing Ruby, Jaune, Ren and Nora glaring at him with their weapons ready, he noticed Tyrian was nowhere in sight.
There was also one other with them. "Qrow." Shadow said as he looked to the huntsman. "Well!" he sheathed his sword. "Guess I've over stayed my welcome."
Holding his hand out to them, he created a massive fireball. Launching it at the five of them, they all dodged out of the way but as they recovered, they saw that Shadow was gone.
Seeing that the threats were gone, Ruby placed her scythe on her back as she rushed over to Marek to check on him. Kneeling down, she saw he was still breathing. "Let's get him out of here."
