A Hero's Journey - Mysterion's Story

Chapter 30

                                              Kyontari flew backwards, to make a far enough distance between Mysterion and him. He held his handless arm to his chest and tried healing it with his other hand, but most of his energy had already been drained. Kyontari grabbed his sword from the ground and charged at Mysterion. Mysterion swiped to the other side, and raised his sword, Kyontari quickly turned around and blocked it. Mysterion pushed him off and lunged at him, but Kyontari ducked just in time.

"He is starting to die off because of the blood lost, keep attacking him, make sure he doesn't get a chance to heal himself" Yui directed.

Mysterion did as Yui said and kept Kyontari from healing himself. It had been what felt like decades, and Kyontari was still alive, but he seemed tired. Mysterion had left a couple scratches on Kyontari, and Kyontari had also left a few bruises on him. Mysterion had no idea where his friends were, but he didn't dare look, Mysterion couldn't let his guard down.

"Stop trying, I will always win in the end" Kyontari said while panting.

Mysterion didn't respond and charged at him. Kyontari moved to the side, and tripped Mysterion, he fell and landed on his elbow. Mysterion quickly got up, but Kyontari knocked his sword right off his hands. Mysterion glanced at his sword on the ground, and then back at Kyontari. He walked backwards while Kyontari was walking towards him pointing his sword at him.

"Fight back with your hands" Yui said trying to help.

Mysterion stumbled and almost fell, then Kyontari raised his sword. Mysterion stopped the sword using his hands, he pushed the sword back. His hands had started bleeding, but it was worth it because Mysterion had pushed back hard enough to make his sword fall. Kyontari quickly reached for the sword but then an arrow shot his hand. Mysterion looked in front of him, he could see his allies from a far distance running to him. The dust made it hard to see them clearly. By the time Mysterion looked back to Kyontari, he had already grabbed the sword and dislocate the arrow off his hand. Mysterion could see his bleeding hand, he must not have the energy to heal himself right now, Mysterion thought while dodging one of Kyontari's attacks.

"Just give up, your friends will never make it in time" Kyontari shouted.

Mysterion looked over to still see his friends running in the distance. He was right, Super Craig wouldn't be able to fly that fast, and if Mosquito used one of his ranged attacks, it could possibly damage him as well, because he was so close to Kyontari. Mysterion ducked and backed away quickly. When will this guy die already...? Mysterion thought while gripping onto Kyontari's sword. He pushed the sword back, but Kyontari had gripped the sword harder. Mysterion wondered if he was using his super strength or not.

"I know this is a really bad time, but I can now foresee what will happen in the future" Yui said breaking the silence.

Mysterion kicked dust into his eyes, and while he was yelling and rubbing his eyes, Mysterion ran to grab his sword, he would have stolen Kyontari's sword, but he was still gripping onto it.

"TELL ME MORE" Mysterion shouted as he ran.

"I do not mean to put any pressure on you, but there is only one future where you are able save the world" Yui said calmly.

"Well that's just great" Mysterion said sarcastically while grabbing his sword.

He turned around to see Kyontari charging at him, Mysterion was about to block his sword, but it was too late. Mysterion could feel all the pain rushing to him, but he didn't scream or shout. He looked down to see Kyontari's sword right threw his stomach. Mysterion dropped his sword. He could feel the blood soaking his clothing. Mysterion looked back up to see Kyontari grinning.

"I told you so, no one can kill me" Kyontari said sharply.
