The Apocalypse 3: Revenge [The Original]

Ch. 10

"Sure you don't wanna back down?" Jason asked.

"Sure you don't?" Wave asked.

She ran at Jason and swung her sword. Jason blocked and slid under her, kicking her in the back. She stumbled forward and turned around. She shoved her sword forward at Jason but missed. Jason grabbed her wrist, pulled her to him, and elbowed her in the face.

"Nice to see that you're putting up a fight, Jason."

"I asked you if you wanted to back down."

"You're gonna wish you had."

She dropped to the ground, escaping Jason's grasp and popping up behind him. Before he could react, she kicked him the back and he fell to the floor. He rolled onto his back and looked up at her. She stood above him.

"How about you give up and let me continue on to the Emerald?" Wave asked.

"That's not gonna happen." Jason said.

"Why not?" she asked. "You know you can't kill me."

"So?"

"Killing me is the only way you're gonna stop me."

"I hope you're wrong about that, Wave."

"Oh, yeah? Why is that?"

"Because I am gonna stop you. One way or the other. And if that means killing you... than I'll kill ya."

Wave let out a chuckle. "Who are ya kiddin', Jason? You don't have what it takes to kill me."

"Maybe not."

Jason shot up, pulled back his sword, and stabbed Wave in the shoulder. He pushed her against the side of the building and the sword dug deep into the wall, pinning Wave. She let out a scream.

"I... I can't believe you did that." Wave said, looking at the sword in her shoulder.

"Wave, I'm sorry." Jason said. "But you weren't giving me a whole lot of options."

"That's the worst excuse I've ever heard." Wave said, looking up at him. "So what are you gonna do now?" she asked. "You gonna finish the job?"

Jason looked into her eyes for a minute and then said, "No."

Wave smiled. "So wrapped up in your feelings that you fail to do what is necessary."

"My feelings is what's keeping you alive, Wave." Jason said. "If I didn't like you, you'd be dead. Believe me."

"Oh, I believe you." she said. "I believe you."

She blasted Jason with dark energy, sending him flying into the wall across from Wave. She grabbed the sword by the handle and pulled as hard as she could. The sword left her shoulder and she let out another cry of pain before dropping to her knees. Then she threw the sword aside and slowly got to her feet.

"Now back to the Emerald." she said, mainly to herself.

She made her way to the military base, holding her shoulder. Jason regained consciousness and got up. He looked around and didn't see Wave. He headed to the military base to regroup with the others.
