Zayla Eternal Devari's Immortality

The Darkness Defeated! Escape The Spire!

"T....us... Tid...s..." Tidus opened his eyes to see a blurry figure, "Tidus, are you okay? Can you hear me?" "Yeah... I hear you", Tidus started to sit up. "Take it easy", Seth told him, "you have a head wound". Seth's worried expression came into focus, Tidus touched an aching bump on his head, "ah..." he squinted then flinched seeing Bodoku beside him, "Bodoku". "I'm fine, I'm more concerned about you", he cut in. Tidus eyed him for a moment, "you're not crazy..." Bodoku raised a brow, "no more than usual". Seth checked a wound on Tidus' arm, "Bodoku will not remember his actions while under the influence of the spray". Bodoku looked at him, as Tidus replied, "wild", with a smirk. They both helped him up and looked around, "where the hell are we?" Bodoku asked. "Inside Torlan's black", Seth explained. The other two looked at him, "we're gonna have to find another name for that..." Tidus mentioned. Tidus watched as Bodoku wobbled slightly, "you're still not a hundred percent". Bodoku looked at him and blinked slowly, "I look better than you". They both smiled then frowned watching as Seth started to cough, he wiped his lips with his sleeve, taking a few breaths before saying, "I am alright..." "Like hell you are", Bodoku said through gritted teeth, "we need to get you out of here and find a cure-" "Isn't this sweet?" Torlan said, they all turned to see him standing beside several floating scythes. Seth drew his sword, Tidus looked for his dual blades, "looking for something?" Torlan said to him, he twirled the dual blades in mid air, "if you wanna fight me gentlemen, I'll take you one at a time". Bodoku snorted, "easy, I'll go first", he took one step then struggled to keep himself upright as his vision blurred and heart raced. Torlan raised his brows, "you don't look so good sword master... perhaps an allergic reaction to the healing spray?" Bodoku straightened as much as he could, "I'm fine, I can still take you..." Tidus touched his shoulder, "Bodoku, Seth. You sit this out". "But-" "I can-" "I mean it", Tidus held out his hands waiting for his dual blades that floated towards his hands, "this is my problem". "How sweet", Torlan spat reaching for two scythes and making the remaining weapons vanish. Seth flinched as his sword disappeared, "one against one", Torlan told him, "good luck boys", Seth and Bodoku were thrown from the darkness. Tidus looked around, "what did you do!?" "I sent them back to the spire until I'm done with you". "but there are... hundreds of clones in that place...!" Torlan smiled spinning his scythes, "then I better kill you quickly, or I'll miss my chance to peel the skin from that traitor clone and stick my scythe into the gullet of the swords master". Tidus squeezed his blades tighter then rushed at him.

"AHHH!" Bodoku shot out of the black and fell down a flight of stairs in the spire. "Ugh! AHH!" Seth flew out rolling down the steps to land on him. "OOF!" Bodoku choked. They both groaned for a minute before Seth looked down at Bodoku, "ah... I apologize..." "Yeah... all good... get off me..." "Oh right..." Seth mustered the strength to pull himself up then lent Bodoku a hand, "thanks..." Seth gave a nod, "Torlan, he kept Tidus..." "Don't worry, I taught him myself and now with these new skills, he'll take him easy, I know it". He watched as Seth tensed, "and uh... what about us...?" Bodoku followed his gaze to see clones standing in the hall waiting for them to attack, he slouched, "well, the feeling in my legs has returned", Bodoku shrugged picking up a fallen sword. Seth frowned, "we're going to die..." "Hey, none of that talk, we got people to get home to, alright?" Seth sighed holding his chest and thinking about what he had promised Yuki, "right... you take the forty on the right, and I'll take the fifty on the left". "That's the spirit, can you use your power?" "My gravity one yes". "You have more than one? How long was I out?" "It's new". "Oh". They stood at the ready as the clones slowly began moving towards them. Seth clutched at his chest again, his face twisted in pain and he coughed blood. "Hey you hanging in there? Don't die on me Seth". "I-" He continued to cough spluttered more red ooze, "I won't die". "Good..." Bodoku raised the sword and took a breath, "don't let me down", he rushed forward. Seth watched as he struck down a row of clones with ease, realizing he was beginning to become trapped in the middle of a few, he raised his hand causing the clones surrounding Bodoku to rise off the ground. Bodoku leapt, jumping between them at a fast pace and slicing their stomachs bathing him in a wash of blood. He used the scarlet liquid to force himself to slip and slide, his the momentum in his swings to chop the clones body parts off. Seth used his gravity power to lift fifteen of the clones, he struggled, his arms shaking as he crushed their bodies. He slouched falling to his knees breathing heavily. Bodoku had killed most of the clones, his right leg failed him as he was about to kill the last two. He groaned as he was punched in the face, the other clones jumped on him and began to choke him, "urk! Seth!" Bodoku called, he attempted to fight the clone, but the other one held his arms down, "S...eth!" He inhaled, trying to breath but his vision was blurred. Seth swallowed a clump of blood as he coughed, his vision jarred as he fell onto his side, he noticed the clones on top of Bodoku and held out a hand gritting his teeth, hoping his anger would increase his strength for at least a moment. Bodoku frowned as the clones began to float taking him with them. The sword he had lost levitated beside him, he grabbed it slicing the clones head off, then kicking off his body to stab the other one through the eye. "Ugh!" He cried as he thudded to the ground. He lay there for a moment to catch his breath then quickly turned his head to look across to Seth, "Seth!" He called noticing him on his side, his hair draped over his face, "Seth!" He scrambled to his feet ignoring the need to rest as he raced back over to him. He knelt down turning Seth onto his back then lifting his head, "Seth talk to me, you still with me buddy?" "Ugh... I..." Seth tried talking between breaths. "Okay, okay, let's get you up. My turn to carry you okay", he hoisted him up onto his back then fell to one knee, "uh..." He held his side realizing he'd been slashed, "dammit..." "Y-you're h-hurt", Seth muttered then gasped as a sharp pain went through his chest. "Take it easy, I'm fine. What do you say we find those healing sprays and get you fixed up huh?" "I-It won't w-work..." "It'll do for now", he picked up the sword, holding in a pained noise as he straightened, "you just focus on resting, but stay awake, you hear me?" Seth gave a weak nod staring at the ground as Bodoku took his first wobbly steps.
