A Crumbling Society

Part 1-7

Summoner

Bloodlust began sprinting at me in full speed, he's faster not only because he's larger but also because demons are pretty fast. I ran towards him too meeting him at a center point stopping his fist from punching me with my palm. A force of energy exploded from the collision where our hands met. Another swing towards me and I stopped the next one hitting his fist in the other direction. He's so tall and has the force to back him up but I'm also strong, I duck a third punch attempt and launch myself into the air. My boot meets his face striking him downward towards his right side, his head whipped sideways from the force, but he did not make any noise from pain. I hit my feet off his shoulder and back flipped to the ground landing with a hand to keep me stable. He scratched his cheek bone as if I were a bug and smiled at me beginning to chuckle, "that's all you can do?", he asked. "Do you want it to hurt?", I retorted. He looked sort of amused and said, "when you hurt me is when I know you can pack a punch". I shrugged and began running back up to him while he swung from my left. I jumped over the missed hit and kept running. Bloodlust spun around from missing me to gain momentum and landed his combined fists into the ground before me, throwing me backwards onto my back. It hurt a little, but I got back up as he now was right above me, we began hand to hand throwing punches. I tried to make up for the height difference with a couple of kicks. The both of us took turns blocking punches while taking them in the gut and face as well as in intervals. Kneeing each other became a necessity when he blocked closer blows towards the face so I could sneak a hit in. They landed every good bit I tried, he dodged my next punch towards the face grabbing my wrist and spinning around; yanking me up right as he returned eye contact and put his foot right to my stomach kicking me backwards with such a force. I stumbled quite a few times switching from hitting the ground and being airborne before landing right where the rock to the cave wall started. I'm cornered now.

I lifted up off the ground ready for aerial strikes while Mimic ran at me, she was sort of fast, but I had time to charge up. She leapt up to meet me in the air, but I deflected her hit with a light shield. Her arms crossed as she made contact, protecting herself, she landed back on the ground. A laugh came from down below as she blinked out of sight appearing right beside me. There must be super-fast demon speed in her now from getting Bloodlust's powers. I tried throwing an arm up, but she grabbed mine and threw it downward bashing her head right into me. I could feel the blood start to ease its way through the crack she gave me, good to know but not that important at the time. Still holding onto me we both flew sideways from the force; I grabbed her wrist in return and caught her other hand that came flying at me. I gripped tight and began spinning in the direction the headbutt took us; her eyes got wide in surprise as it caught her off guard. We spun and spun, harder and faster building up speed and I gave her one wink and unlatched my grip letting her plummet to the ground with a crash.

A crater formed from the impact, and she winced in pain from the landing, if it should be called that. She got angry, clawing her way out of the hole and brushing herself off she started sprinting again. I can't let her catch me with the speed she has so I began throwing star balls at her, first singular ones targeting where I think she is running towards. They miss but then I shoot off a few at a time throwing them harder and harder each time. She's running in a serpentine style specifically to dodge my attacks. BAM! Got her! Mimic flew sideways as the energy exploded against her making her cartwheel in the air right into a giant boulder. She was pissed now, making a fist and slamming it into two rocks beside her, she made them crumble to pieces. I really wasn't sure what she was going to do but a few things crossed my mind when suddenly something shot passed me. Honestly, I thought she missed but then the pain set in, just like a bullet grazed me, a stinging sensation took over in my left shoulder. The warmth of my own blood trickled down my glove on the underside of my arm staining a dark line within the pink that I wear. I wretched from the pain as it felt like I got dirt in a scrape but then you get hand sanitizer in it, but a larger cut. It took me a minute to find where the cut was because she threw it so hard the rock actually came around the shape of my shoulder. There was an attempt to cauterize my wound but immediately a barrage of more rocks came my way. Quickly thinking about how to deflect them my arm came up with light guards to hit them back and deflect them, but the force was too strong they gave out after a few seconds. I put up a giant shield this time to give me more of a chance to think of what to do next. Flying around in different directions seemed to help make the rocks not hit as hard so my shield lasted longer but nevertheless it broke too. My next thought put me at an advantage making light armor fit around my figure to take the bulk of the damage, I quickly flew over to her. Waiting in place directly above I started spinning again and this time dropped my flight in gravity and headed downward. Mimic hit me so hard right when I thought I had her that my armor flew off in different directions slowly turning back into light rays not visible by sight. Flying backwards I had one second, just one to think of how to brace my impact and I burst light from my back like thrusters to slow me down. It only did a little bit, enough to not kill me when I hit, then plowed right into the cave hitting every bit of rock wall there was.
