Shades of the Blue Flower

The Strike of the Sword

The two swordsmen stared at one another Blue Rose changing her stance where her sword was beside her face Zekken looked surprised and strengthened her own stance her sword Leomurg standing in front of her. The two stared at each other for a second Zekken then said to Lumen, "Stay out of this," Zekken then charged forward towards Blue Rose as she did the same. Zekken first strike was evaded elegantly by Blue Roses' counter attack which skid the two swords against one another creating a ear piercing noise that caused the audience to hold their ears which broke Zekken's defense for a moment she quickly recovered and pointed her sword toward Blue Rose charging and the two got in a heated battle which caused Blue Rose to step backwards gracefully to counter every strike, Blue Rose then started to throw heavy strikes against Zekken which she countered as well.

Zekken then used one of the more basic sword skills Horizon which was a single strike going horizontal which she made elegantly by spinning. Blue Rose countered that strike by making her sword vertical to stop the attack but caused a massive wind to form behind her she used that to her advantage and span around using her attack which caused massive damage and a second dust cloud formed causing the audience to gasp in shock when the dust cloud vanished you saw Blue Rose jump down to strike upon Zekken which she also countered Blue Rose then landed gracefully a few steps back.

Zekken charged towards the landing Blue Rose using a single strike which she countered the same way earlier afterwards both players ran parallel to one another. Blue Rose took the chance to strike first towards Zekken which ended up cutting her cheek and sparks arose from the two blades. Zekkens health finally went down this upsetted Zekken and fired two more shots to Blue Rose cutting her leg and shoulder she also lost some of her life. The two then charged forward again Zekken using more powerful attacks but were easier to dodge, Zekken then decided to use a vertical strike which Blue Rose countered by creating a horizontal one.

The two were in a stalemate with one another at the moment Blue Rose decided to take the advantage of Zekken's concentration of the two swords and punched her in the gut causing her to step back. At that moment Blue Rose though to herself 'I can do this' and used a skill called quadruple pain, right when she was about to strike, Zekken saw the appending strike and countered all four hits with great speed. Blue Rose thought to herself in shock 'she can see a quadruple pain?' she stood there still and night then fell Zekken's sword Leomurg started to glow as she screamed striking Blue Rose with eight hits creating an x on Blue Rose's chest. Blue Rose staggered backwards right before she continued her strike Blue Rose gained her balance again and thought to herself 'I won't let it end like this!' as she used a massive single strike towards Zekken the two attacks met in a blinding green light that surrounded the two, Zekken's strike pierced through Blue Rose and then Blue Rose's' strike went through Zekken causing her to step backwards as another dust cloud formed again. After the strike Blue Rose stepped backwards tired as she was not a PVP fighter her eyes widened as she saw Zekken emerge from the clouds her sword Leomurg still glowing a vibrant purple and ran towards Blue Rose with blood thirsty eyes, Blue Rose thought in her head, 'This is Zekken's Stargazer ability?' she stared at the upcoming blade about to come towards her 'her original sword skill...' as Zekken charged towards Blue Rose she placed her sword forward about to strike when a huge gust of wind and dust, along with a purple glow emitting from it, the wind caused the audience to step backwards to support themselves upwards, when the cloud vanished the gust of wind pushed both Zekkens and Blue Roses hair out their face. Blue Rose was in a state of shock her eyes wide open along with her arms to see that she was not dead but in front of her was none other than Lumen who was not injured by Zekken's sword, it was only millimeters away from piercing through her only sister. Blue Rose's health was in the red zone that final strike would have surely ended her, Zekken stared wide eyes at her twin removing her sword slowly away from her and then standing upright. Just to do some backflip to take a couple of steps back. Zekken's health was not even lowered from her final attack Stargazer and her swords ability Leomurg which absorbs health.

"Can we please stop this fight," Blue Rose pleaded towards Zekken. "Why, I almost defeated you, never thought a higher level player would lose to a player like me," Zekken's laugh brought deep fear into Blue Rose. "Zekken, we are able to change this outcome, we must understand there is something better in this game rather than fighting, its about living in a game where nothing of the outside world can affect us, it helps others live a life they want and a not forced life, why are you being blinded by that fact," Blue Rose was almost in tears as she watch Zekken not wanting to hear the words from the words she spoke. "You don't know how it feels, I have lost the will to live, this game has brought so much worry to my sister and I, you will never feel this kind of death that follows you around every waking hour of the day and night," Zekken''s eye still looked like she wanted to kill Blue Rose but the only that stopped her was Lumen that was still protecting Blue Rose.

"Most of us high level players started losing hope and you are here wanting to strike your sword into other players and not wanting to see what the outside world wants you to see, we need your help Zekken, your amazing at what you and your sister can do, this is how we can we can repay you by fixing a mistake of one of us had done, just come out of the game and let us fix your Multivac so you don't have death following your every move, please allow us to help you," Blue Rose was finally in tears, she rarely shedded tears in front of others but she was deeply hurt to see these two amazingly talented risk there lives for a game that was forcefully downloaded and it wasn't their fault. "Please sister, please come back to the real world where we can take care of you," Lumen was crying as well, it had hurt both of the to see Zekken in this state where she was blood thirsty to kill players for no reason.

As Lumen and Blue Rose looked at Zekken with tear filled eyes, Zekken was showed no emotion and collapsed to the ground, there standing was Creator, with his foot on Zekken's back, draining her health down to nearly nothing. "Creator," Blue Rose glanced up towards him as he had a total personality changed from his town fool smile to the most stern face ever seen on his avatar that his red hair looked more bright and golden eyes that looked to have no life behind them. He was wearing a leather jacket with a white tee-shirt underneath, with an oddly shaped pendant necklace, also bright blue jeans that held was held up by a red belt, but what caught his eyes the most was his red tattoo that was on his right arm that looked to be a dragon. "Its was quite a fight Lady Blue but Zekken would have beaten you within seconds," Creator laughed to himself as he bent down to grab Leomurg from Zekken's hand as she fought underneath his foot. "This sword was never meant to be found but somehow you did," his glare was sharp as he glanced down at Zekken, he brought Leomurg down to her eyes and slowly gripped the handle just to shattered the sword in front of her eyes.

"You'll pay for this," Zekken screamed at the Creator as he quickly grabbed her hands and forced a chip onto her Multivac, "Already paid you back, you are able to log out now, glitch player," Creator hissed towards Zekken. "Blue Rose install this into Lumen's Multivac," he threw a chip towards Blue Rose as she quickly grabbed it, "Lumen may I," tears were still in both of their eyes as Lumen turned around allowing Blue Rose to place the chip on her back where her butterfly wings met, "You are now free, to log off," Blue Rose smiled at Lumen as the both embraced each other in a hug. "Thank you," Lumen whispered into Blue Roses ear.

As everyone began to log off, Blue Rose stood behind, she turned around looking at the area she finally fought a PVP, "The strike of the sword brought only pain to me, I haven't lost all my hope yet Silver Sea, I will find you, I will find you, I promise," Blue Rose glared down at the ground as she logged off. Without her seeing a mysterious figure watching her from the back ground.
