The Arcadia Chronicles II: Night Of The Hunter's Moon

Winner Beats All

Third person's POV

Dianne landed cleanly on the ground Did I win?

The judges watched intently as the cloud of dust slowly dissipated. They saw Maykel struggling to stand.

Elsa went towards Dianne Should you finish him already? Maykel stood up and said in a shaky voice Y-Yeah, your p-partner is r-right, finish t-this already.

Dianne went forward to him Just so you know, I hate you because of how air-headed you are but that doesn't mean I'll embarrass you in front of this crowd and hurt your pride as a part of the Wild Rose because you went down without too much of a fight.

Dianne went away and pick up his other sword. Elsa asked What are you doing?

Erica wondered as she witnessed what Dianne is doing She could've defeated him so that they would win, why is she helping him?

Aeromir replied thoughtfully after a monent of silence It's because she wanted a fair fight.

Dianne said as she tossed his other sword towards him I want to win this fight fairly, Els', you understand my point, right?

Elsa nodded and Maykel asked Why? I don't get it.

I don't know how to say it but I tell you this - I still want to kick your butt.

Maykel's eye twitched, he stood slowly It sure annoys me to hear that from you. Fine then, I won't hold back.

The three of them firmly held their weapons tight, Dianne and Elsa rushed together towards Maykel.

He leaped away when Elsa is about to smash her shield to him. Maykel is on the defensive - having a hard time blocking the coordinated attacks of Dianne's fast slashes and Elsa's heavy swings.

Finally, Dianne parried one of his swords then, with Elsa behind her, Elsa kicked him on the chest and got blown back. He flipped backward and skidded to a halt, sparks covered his wooden swords and plunged both of them on the ground.
