The silence was deafaning. We locked eyes with each other, daring each other to move first.

​BLAM

​The gunshot echoed through the night. Rausten lifted his sword up to block it. I admired the elegance of the blade, how it left an afterimage trail as it swung. A small green spark appeared as the bullet ricochet off and hit the side of a house.

​He deflected the bullet again, twirling the blade.

​​He caught all three of my bullets in some sort of force zone, then threw them back at me as I rolled backwards. When I got back up he was already right in front of me. He knocked the gun out of my hand with his free arm, and raised the sword over his head, ready to strike. But I delivered a punch to his abdomin, and he crumpled. I followed it up with a punch to the throat with my other hand. He stumbled back, but then gained some footing. He then counterattacked with a vicous slash to my chest which I just barely dodged. Then he sliced downwards at my head, another close call. I could hear the blade very clearly, it was a clean whooshing sound mixed with a bit of humming. I thought I could hear a bit of hissing in there.

He slashed at me again, this time to my legs, and as I jumped, I kicked him in the face. He reeled back and looked at me with hatred in his eyes. He rushed forward and fiegned an stab to the right, and as I sidestepped left, he brought his sword up and slashed my cheek. The pain was blinding. It was like acid.

''​You will die here. It is impossible for you to beat him alone. Use your inner strength, and you stand a chance against him. Don't, and you will die a painful death.''

'''​That's just what he wants me to do. Use your power.'​

I got back up and put my fists up. I heard him laughing.

He rushed forward at blinding speed and attempted to stab me, but I dropped to the ground. In his confusion I lauched myself forward and tackled him, and his sword skittered away. I pinned him and punched him over and over again in the jaw. Suddenly he disappeared. Then I felt an arm around my throat, pulling with all its strength. I stuck an elbow back, and hit something. He released his choke hold. I got back up and turned around. I ran at him, and my fist curved along, gaining strength, headed for his jaw, but he stuck his arm up and blocked my punch. Then he used his free hand to punch me right under the jaw, then he kneed me in the stomach, punched me in the jaw so hard I had to go on my hands and knees, and then kicked my leg out from under me. He kicked me in the ribs and I turned over, then he put his foot on my chets, pinning me. He stuck out his hand and his sword flew to him, and he pointed the tip to my neck

"Last chance, tell me your secret." He said

"You won't kill me. You need me to tell you." I said

"Don't count on it, kid." He said as pulled his sword back, preparing to thrust it into my chest...

I could feel something in my right hand, like a handle. Without thinking, I thrust it over me, right into Rausten's groin. His yellow eyes widened in shock and pain as he stumbled back, and I turned onto my stomach and got up. I examined my new sword. It was a shiny, new enchanted diamond sword. It seemed to pulse with magic. I noticed just in time that there was a sharp grey object headed towards my head. I brought my sword towards it, in a swift, precise, swing. Our blades met, and my blade seemed to crack and chip on impact, a soft green glow eminating from the cracks. We released the pressure hold and I step back, looking at my sword in disbelief. Rausten only laughed.

"Now you know the true power of ​Uargerphiea​!​" He said.

"What?" I say

"This blade goes by many names in legends: Judgment Claymore, Souledge, Alpha Sword, Ultisword, Godslayer, Phylactral Blade. But I chose to call it by it's true name, the name given to it by my ancestors, the ancients. It is Uargerphiea, destroyer of life!"

I rushed at him, sword over my head, ready to strike down. Rausten blocked my blow easily, and more cracks spread across my blade. I lifted my sword up, over my head, turned, and stabbed him when he wasn't looking. The sword pierce his chest, but that only made him more angry. He hit me in the head with the hilt, then he slashed my thigh. I was in immense pain, but if I faltered, I would die. He slashed downwards at my head and I blocked, then he tried again at my hip and I blocked again. Each time I could hear my blade getting more and more damaged. He put a lot of anger into the next blow, where he tried to slice my head in half. I blocked it, but he kept on pushing. My strength was fleeting, and my sword was splintering like ice. I put my hand on the other end for of my blade for support. It cut into my hand, but I kept pushing back, until finally Rausten stepped back, but prepared for another attack. I flipped my blade around in my hands so that the wrecked side was facing away. He was rushing at me, blade at his side, ready to strike. He was expecting me to go on the defensive. I didn't. I rushed at him and met his sword head on, and that caught him off guard, causing him to bve knocked back. I didn't wait for him to recover. I swung upwards toward his head, but he raised his blade to block it. I stepped back, then stepped forward, blade over my head, and put all my strength into this one downwards strike.

He swung his sword over his head, and when our blades met, mine shattered into a thousand sharp pieces of diamond. I looked down at my broken hilt. Rausten laughed again. I hated that laugh. It was a smug, know-it-all, laugh. He struck out with his leg and kicked me back far as I skidded on the pavement. He was advancing, and I was unarmed

​USE IT OR DIE!!!

'I have a better idea​'

I looked towards my gun. There was still one bullet in it. I scrambled towards it, picked it up, and aimed it at Rausten. I cocked back the hammer, and before he realized what I was doing, I pulled the trigger...

​"What?!"

​'''​No! revolver's don't jam!''​'

Rausten laughed once more, revealing a bullet in his hand

"W- how?"

Rausten stepped towards me, sword in hand, ready to make the killing blow. I need a miracle.

''​You have no other option. you will die...''

​No.

Suddenly, I felt a rage inside me so hot, it was like... like...

lightning.

I unleashed -no, it was more like I let go- a tsunami of white hot bolts of electricity. The powers inside me where so powerful from a year of laying dorment, building charge and increasing in power, waiting to be released. It was so powerful that Rausten was screaming in pain, as he fell to his knees, Being swallowed by the streaks of light, frying his blood, streaking through his bones. I stood up, lightning still coming out of my hands and I stepped forward, increasing the amount of lightning coming through, until finally, I relented. Rausten was on his hands and knees, panting like a dog on a hot day. His skin was black and burnt. The only colour in him was his yellow eyes, which had gone pale a bit and where no longer as piercing. I picked up his sword and stood over him.

"This... is not... over...         You... haven't... won..." He managed to say. "You... haven't stopped... Ollserom... and... the rest... of the... pastas...       They... will... kill... you..."

"Rot in hell" I said as I brought his sword down on him, slicing his neck in one clean cut. There was a hissing sound, and then it fizzed out. His body dropped to the ground, and the stumps where I cut him looked seared, burned, except there was some sort of green glow to them.

I looked around to see a dozen shocked faces. Our fight must have drawn attention. I even heard sirens off in the distance. I walked away, sword in hand, wondering: 'What now?​'

(Oof that was long)
