The humming of the fluorescent lights gets shunned off. Overflows of energy seep through the gaps and fluster outside of the labs' walls.
RHT: My power is ever-growing. I'm not the same person I was back when I fought Loyd.
THR: Tsk, as if I care!
Therr takes the offensive as he zooms towards you, trenching his tentacles through the walls. You grip your blade tight and dash forwards, moving through the onslaught of attacks using your own tentacles. Therr thrusts his tentacles in your direction. You dodge them but they curve and slam you against the wall. You push yourself back onto your feet.
THR: You're holding back. You think I'm not strong enough?!
RHT: Precisely.
THR: So you choose death.
RHT: But since you so want it...
You thrust your blade into the ground.
RHT: Ignite.
Your blades' edge bursts into flames, igniting the surrounding ground with it. Therr backs up and looks fascinated but also annoyed. You pull your blade out of the ground and grip it firmly.
THR: Wow! I wanna do that too!
RHT: Too bad. Jiguko is my ally.
Therr tries to do the same move as you but fails. He shrugs it off and points his blade.
THR: I don't need flashy tricks to beat you!
RHT: (You're the one who wanted it though...)
He dashes towards you and swings his blade relentlessly. With not even a sweat, you swiftly dodge through his attacks and slash his back. He crashes into the ground but forces himself back onto his feet. Blood spills out of his gaping wounds.
THR: (Tsk! I can't even close it due to her flames! I'm so done for.)
RHT: What's wrong, you giving up so early? This isn't very Rhett of you.
THR: (Shit, she's coming closer. Move, dammit, move!)
As Therrs' soularia starts to weaken, he drops to his knees, waiting for his ultimate demise. You slowly walk up to him and stand in front of a dead man walking.
RHT: You failed because of one reason.
THR: Huh..?
RHT: When you first told me you were a clone, I got scared. To this day, I have yet to fight someone the same strength as me, and for some reason that scared me even more then fighting someone stronger. Truth is, you failed because you were built to be a perfect clone of someone imperfect. I'm far from being the strongest.
THR: Ah, I see now. Thank you Rhett for making me realize that I really did my best.
RHT: I'll make sure you can be yourself in my reality.
THR: Can't wait.
You rest your blades' edge on his soulder.
RHT: Till then, goodbye.
THR: Good luck on your journey.
*SLASH*
You close your eyes and swing your blade. Your soularia retreats, revealing the destroyed lab. You sit down and take a breather... almost there.
