An Assassin's Choice

Assassin Battle

Devin drew the sword he always carried with him since we were younger. That was his specialty. My specialty was far different from his. I opened my bag and put the gun in it as I got out my steel ball and chain which was a good 30 feet long with a small scythe at the other end. The ball at the end had little spikes poking out of it which were sharp enough to take off a robot's head from just one swing. I even took of about 3 heads at one time. I held the scythe in my left hand as I began to swing the ball with my other hand. Devin smiled and held up his sword at me.

Devin:Now we get to find out which of us has become stronger.

Me:About time to.

We both stood there waiting for the right moment before we fought to see which one was the stronger assassin.

(I'm going to do the fight from my point of view. Do not read and just skip down if you have a problem with blood and violence.)

They both stood there, still, neither one moving. It wasn't until the clock in the room began to chime that they jumped into action. Devin raised his sword as he ran full speed at Seth who remained still but started to swing the chain, making the ball go in a circular motion until it was now spinning around to where it looked like a shield. When Devin reached Seth, he swung his sword downward only to have Seth block it by using the scythe in his other hand. He took this opportunity to swing the spiked ball at Devin, who dodged and jumped back. No one saw what had just happened. Seth continued to swing the ball in a circular motion while Devin held his sword in his right hand, the edge pointed at Seth. Devin took a step forward and he was gone in an instant. No one saw him move except for Seth. He quickly turned to block Devin's attack with the scythe. He knocked Devin's sword to the side, causing Devin to get knocked off balance and swung the scythe at Devin. He was able to dodge but not before getting cut on his stomach. He jumped back and blood dripped onto the floor.

Devin:Good job. But that'll be the last scratch you give me.

Seth:How about we find out?

Devin smirked as he ran top speed at Seth, his sword being dragged onto the ground, leaving behind a small trail. Seth threw the ball and let go of the chain. It flew at Devin who dodged and, when he was close enough to Seth, swung his sword. Seth was barely able to dodge. He grabbed the chain and swung it, making the ball swing towards Devin. He held up his sword and the chain wrapped around it. Seth pulled on the chain while Devin held his sword tightly. He then smirked and ran at Seth who then realized Devin used him as a speed booster when he was pulling on the chain. Seth unwrapped the chain while Devin was still moving towards him and dodged the attack. Devin didn't waste any time and rushed at Seth again. He swung his sword over and over, Seth barely dodging each swing. A guard that was standing next to Harry pointed his gun at Seth who wasn't paying attention. Devin noticed and began to get angry. The guard pulled the trigger and the bullet almost reached Seth when Devin took his sword and blocked it, causing the bullet to fly back at the guard and hit him in the head. Everyone looked at Devin in shock. They couldn't believe what he had just done especially Harry.

Harry:What the hell do you think you're doing?!

Devin:No one interferes. This is my fight.

Harry:If that's the way you want it then fine.

Seth was still shocked by what Devin did. He almost didn't block the attack with his scythe that Devin sent his way. Devin then knocked away the scythe and swung his sword which connected with Seth's chest. Blood spilled onto the tiled floor and continued to drip as Devin swung his sword again which then connected with Seth's arm. Devin wasn't giving him a chance to rest as he released a barrage of attacks, small cuts beginning to cover Seth's body. Blood continued to stain the floor as more wounds covered him. It didn't take long before Seth was kneeling on the ground, a puddle of blood forming around him. He was out of breath and had no strength to stand up. Devin pointed his sword at him, about to finish him when Harry put his hand on Devin's shoulder.

Harry:Enough. I think he's learned his lesson.

Devin:If you say so.

Devin put his sword away and turned to Harry. They began talking about what to do with Seth who was devising a plan to escape. He looked over at his duffel bag which wasn't far away and remembered that he had packed some smoke bombs. He waited for the right moment when they were distracted from him. He then gathered the strength he had left and rushed over to his bag. By the time they realized that he was moving again, he was already holding the smoke bombs and threw them. They created a cloud that was too thick to see through.

Harry:Dammit! Devin stop him!

Devin:Whoever said I trained for this kind of situation?

Devin was lying. He had trained with smoke bombs many times but Harry didn't know that. Seth knew what he was doing. Giving him an opportunity to escape. He tossed his bag over his shoulder and ran through the doors and into the streets. He then ran in the direction of the school, a trail of blood following him. When the smoke cleared in the room, Harry glared at Devin.

Harry:Why didn't you stop him?!

Devin:Don't worry. I already know where he's going.

Harry:Fine. Just don't make me regret calling you over here.

Devin just smirked and looked at the small drops of blood Seth had left behind. He knew where Seth was going and, now, how strong he is. He was going to finish it the next time they met. Their battle isn't over.
