4. Lightning strikes...

I gathered up the supplies I needed, paid the sword smith what I owed him for the swords and left the small town, heading west. I needed to make a pit spot before going to the king. I was in need of a better pair of swords, these cheap pieces of steel would never hold up if I wanted to use my flames through them. I needed my blades…

I had been walking awhile when I came upon a town, fairly big, but poorly controlled you could tell the government wasn’t doing anything bout this town. You could smell the rum and piss from miles away, but I had to go through it to get my blades. The piss smell was so strong, when I finally entered the town I had to cover my mouth and nose to be able to walk the streets. I bet my brother doesn’t even know bout this town…lucky him.

A bolt of lightning struck inches from me, as a spiky haired guy jumped down from one of the flat roof tops at me, I spin around kicking him straight in the jaw. His body went limb as he jaw stuck to my foot. I slowly pulled my leg back, as his body seemed to stay motionless. I proceeded to walk past the man, as I got bout 6 feet from him, his body slouched, then shoot to attention. “HEY!!!!! Come back here!!!” the man shouted at me. Ignoring him I kept walking, bout 10 feet now. “I SAID COME BACK HERE!!!!!” he shouted louder. Still not giving him any of my time, bout 15 feet now. “I…SAID…” I feel the air shifting, energy is gathering behind me…”COME BACK NOW!!!!!” I ducked swiftly dropping to the ground as a lightning bolt shot over me. “Crap, why are you back?” I stood up quickly, realizing who it was. I sprinted at the young fool. Lightning bolts shock at me, I dodged them left. 13 feet from him. Another one shot. I dodged it right. 10 feet from him. He threw another bolt. It was low, I vaulted over it with ease. 5 feet from him. He shot another, I charged the blade that was in my left hand, blocking the bolt with my flaming steel. I slug the charged blade, aiming straight for his face. Hit…his body goes limb and falls to the ground.

I walked the remanding feet, stepped on his chest compressing it to make sure he wasn’t still alive, hoping he would cough from it, so I could farther slice and dice the body. The body made no sound. I gripped the handle of the now singed blade, wiggling it till it finally ripped from his thick skull.

I continued to walk through the now quiet town, as the townspeople watched me in fear. The whispering of who I was stopped as I passed them, then continued as I was a good distance away. “ITS MOVING!!!!” what did they say? A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. Damn…I fall to my knees…the body shoots towards me like lightning, his knee drills my spine, shooting me throw tree after tree, tumbling head over head, my arms failing…damn it… crushing through the trees, lightning shoots down in a row from him to my body, shooting me square between the eyes. Crap…

I have to move…I have to move…I cant just be his rag doll…he sprints at me again, jumping up just short of where I end up. I pry my eyes open looking straight up to see him barreling down on me, both feet coming straight at me, lightning sparking from his feet, a huge bolt of lightning trails him as if the lightning itself was pushing him down at me. He grin exceeding from ear to ear. That bastard was always smiling, that same damn smile.

Its now or never…my eyes ignite, the trees around me burst into flames. He doesn’t slow down at all, if nothing else he speeds up at this sight. I stand up and sling both of these blades at him. They merely bounce off his feet. My hands ignite with fireballs. I launch those at him, still no effect. He speeds up, I can see the sound barrier breaking at his feet. He is within a mile…I ignite the air around him. He punched right through it, without losing any speed. I collapse to my knees. I pushed this body too far, too soon. I wont die this easily!!! My head ignites…my legs ignite…my chest ignites…I won’t be killed by THIS COCKY LITTLE BASTARD!!!!!!! The crust shatters as I raise the magma to the surface launching the molten earth up into the sky, straight at him. His laughing stops as his body is incased in the magma…the rock cools and falls from the sky, I move its flight and it falls next to me, as I pass out on the spot…

(the psycho, Lightning to your right...)
