Le Loup: Most Wanted

Chapter 27: The Final Fight. Le Loup vs Shadow Spade

Alex POV

We clashed our weapons together, dodging every attack we threw at each other. I launched a kick at Shadow Spade's jaw. He stepped back and slashed at my stomach. I dodged but the blade dented the iron on my breastplate. I fired my wrist-mounted crossbow at him. He parried it and summoned black butterflies to obscure my vision. 

"Damn." I muttered as I activated my infrared vision in my mask. I could make out an orange silhouette launching a kick at me. I backflipped out of the way and threw a throwing knife at him. The knife was parried by a bullet. When the butterflies have vanished, I saw Shadow Spade holding a silver revolver.

"De ja vu." I chuckled. I dodged the bullets and fired my crossbow again. The bolt knocked the revolver out of his hand. He swiped his sword at me. I parried and struck my eskrima at his jaw. Shadow Spade stepped back and clutched his jaw. I ran forward and dropkicked him in the torso, causing  him to fall backwards. He rolled back onto his feet.

"You will not defeat me. I am The Spade King. I am Shadow Blade. And I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY A TEENAGE VIGILANTE!" He shouted and threw his sheathe at me. I dodged, only to meet a sword to my face. I tried to dodge the sword, but the blade knocked my mask off and send it falling of the roof. I staggered backwards and regained my footing. I put my two eskrima sticks together and formed a staff. He summoned a staff with two blades on each end.

"Now, you will die. And I will be victorious." He said with a crazed grin.

We exchanged blows. Every parry, every dodge, every swing defined what we are both fighting for. I fought for Paris' freedom. Shadow Spade fought for her control. He pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the shoulder. I stepped back and pulled out the knife, only to be struck in the chest by Shadow Spade's staff. I fell on my back and slide towards the edge.  He kicked my staff away from me and stomped on my grapple gun and crossbow.

"Now, it's over. DIE, ALEXANDER PIERCE!" Shadow Spade shouted as he raised his staff at my head.

I heard a gunshot from behind us. I looked and saw Mayor Andre holding Shadow Spade's revolver. The bullet his him in the arm. Shadow Spade screamed and dropped his staff.  I quickly performed a kip up and punched Shadow Spade in the jaw, breaking it. He roared in pain and threw a punch at me. I caught his fist and broke his wrist my twisting it. I grabbed his injured arm and broke it. I punched him in face over and over again. With one final kick, I sent Shadow Spade flying of the roof, he fell all the way down and landed on the roof of the Bourgeois limo. I looked over the edge and saw Shadow Spade. He survived but was badly injured and most likely paralysed. I looked behind me and saw Andre holding the revolver. He tossed it aside and hugged me.

"Thank you, Alex. You save Paris." He said tearfully.

"I had some help from my friends." I replied, rubbing the back of my head. "Now, let's free all the hostages."

The Mayor nodded and went to downstairs. He looked down one last time, picked up my staff and followed the Mayor.

Paris is saved and Shadow Spade has been defeated.
