Author's note:
A quick reminder that Aimsey goes by any pronouns so you'll see characters referring to them as either they/them, she/her or he/him. Okay, that's it for the reminder, enjoy the story.
Toby's POV
The duel had just begun and I could feel my anger and adrenaline rising up. As Aimsey was going to shoot her Water-based powers but I blocked them. I used whatever power I have to attack him. But at the same time, I'm starting to tear up for some reason but I'm going insane. I dunno what to do at this point.
Cass: Someone tell me why is he violently attacking Aimsey.
Bill: Wait what?
Aimee: How do I fight back? He's so strong!
Tommy: He's a Zodiac Leader, I dunno how can normal Zodiac heroes fight the Leader.
Bill: Aimsey! Use a strategy, try to predict whatever power he's using and then use your own powers against him!
Aimee: I don't have telepathy.
Zach: Each power is based on a certain martial art, Flexible for Air, Flowing for Water, Tough for Earth and Violent for Fire.
Niki: Just do what you can.
I continued fighting Aimsey until they have enough power to unleash against me. I blindly fought back and now I'm starting to realise that our fight is becoming meaningless now. I am just blinded by my own grief and shock that Andrew still survived his execution.
Zach's POV
While I was watching Tubbo and Aimsey duelling, I'm starting to feel like this fight is pointless. But all I could do is watch, I'm the one who thinks that duelling to get your emotions out was a good idea. But I feel like it's not anymore, I dunno why. When I took a glance at the duel, I'm starting to feel bad. We might need to get them both to therapy at this point.
Ryan L: Zach, you okay?
Zach: Starting to feel like this fight is pointless now.
Ryan L: What do you mean?
Zach: Violence isn't the option when you wanna take your emotions out on a teammate. Look at Tubbo, he's starting to get stronger and then he's entering the Spiritual state.
Dylan: Wait, that happens?
Zach: Yeah, it usually happens when we fight Dark spirits.
Taka: Zach, sometimes Light spirits need to get their inner Dark spirit out.
Zach: This one's a bit too far.
Beau: Why didn't you end the duel?
Zach: It's too late now. It seems like Tubbo's gonna win against Aimsey.
Oli: Why didn't they enter the Spiritual state?
Zach: I dunno. God, I regretted making them duel.
Wendy: It's okay, you did what you need to do. At least you prevented a commotion that might happen in the library.
Luke H: Yeah, nobody likes having a commotion in the library.
Calum: Who doesn't?
Tommy: Zach?
Zach: I'm starting to feel Tubbo's insanity more.
Mat: Oh no.
Jim: I don't think there's much we could do right now.
Mei: I don't want to see him go insane like that.
Gerald: Guess he didn't have a choice.
Zach: He's going haywire now.
