Chapter 22 - The Duel

As the sun starts lowering, there are two people not sleeping, both preparing. Although two people are out to stop what's about to happen, they are unaware that this is... Inevitable.

"Well well well. I thought you'd chicken out Kai," Hades grinned.

"You underestimate me."

"Are both of you prepared?" EPR looked between them both.

Hades in diamond, and Kai in enchanted iron, nodded. Hades drew out his diamond axe while Kai drew out his fire aspect iron sword.

"Duelists, take your positions."

They both walked to the opposite sides of the arena.

E.P.R scanned the area before bowing her head,"Commence!"

Hades and Kai simultaneously launched a skull and a fire ball at each other before charging. Hades landed the first hit on his shoulder but kai pulled out his cross bow and shot Hades in the knee. Once more they charged in, kicking, slashing and shooting, none of them yielding. E.P.R watched intently, occasionally her neck sharply twitching. Just a small glitch, yeah...

Kai dodged and weaved, and surprisingly pinned the wither to the floor. "Do you yield?"

Hades let out a maniacke cackle. "Oh, you think you've won? I just wanted to see how good your armour was. Now the real fight start!"

Hades point-blanked Kai with a skull before drinking a strength 2 potion as well as speed 2. He lastly ate a gapple before rushing towards the staggering Kai. Charlotte watched as the duel went on. She was worried. What if Kai died?

"Stop!" She shouted, trying to get over there.

Hades aimed a wither Skull at her,"You have no armour. I suggest you back up, or you'll die instantly,"

Charlotte looked, nervously, at the two.

"Why do you have to duel? Isn't conversation enough?" She asked, fingering her ring that had been her father's.

"I... Have to stop him..." Kai groaned before getting drop kicked

Charlotte's eyes widened.

"What?! Wh-What?!" She looked around, nervously.

She didn't want Kai to die. She ran forward and stepped between Kai and Hades.

"Stand down. Otherwise you'll have to join Kai."

Charlotte glared at Hades,"No."

"You can't say I didnt warn you," Hades threw a wither skull at them which was countered by a fire ball.

Charlotte barely dodged the projectiles before they collided. She tried to hold Hades or Kai back, but she couldn't. They were too intent on fighting. She looked around, frantically. Why wasn't there any teacher around?

"So... Kai, I'm afraid this is where it ends! With you're own sword," Hades chuckled snatching Kai's sword before plunging it into his stomach, blood splattering.

Kai was now on the ground, slowly withering away, the sword going straight through him. Charlotte stared as Kai disappeared. She looked up at Hades, scared out of her mind. How could he kill someone just like that?Hades cackled, wiping some of Kais splattered blood off of himself. Charlotte ran away.

"Is he... Is he going to kill me too? Because I witnessed the duel?" She wondered as she ran.

"Kai!" Cameron cried as he ran out, how long has he been here?
