Sword Conquest: The Fallen

Chapter 2: Triple Threat

With their power rising, the three combatants would blitz towards each other, showing off their astounding speed. Flames filled the fists of Zhaylen while the debris of ice surrounded Yuki. Hero, not wanting to be left out, stepped in between the two and crossed his arms over like an X. The two others were confused but kept charging forward. Hero then shot his arms out in their own respective directions, releasing a burst of energy that blew Zhaylen and Yuki far back. Yuki quickly stopped himself but would meet Hero who was above him and coming down with his sword. He'd block it off with a dome of ice to protect him.

Hero: Damn!

Zhaylen rushes his way towards Hero and knocks him out of the way with a kick to his waist. He yells at the top of his lungs and points his hand at the dome of ice, releasing a beam of fire to burn through it. Seeing the ice melting, Yuki tunneled through the ground and out the other side. Zhaylen would hear where he crawled up from and shot down a stream of fire from a punch he delivered in Yuki's direction. It would be countered by a spike of ice that Yuki sent through the fire and towards Zhaylen. Luckily, Zhaylen hopped up from the spike and remained in the air, charging up his fire within his palms. To his surprise, Hero came up and above him, using his hands that were clasped together and slamming them down on the back of Zhaylen's head, forcing him to the floor. While seeing Hero still falling from the sky, Yuki formed a thousand small needles of ice that would race off to Hero. They'd fail however due to Hero's quick thinking at forming a barrier of energy to block them off. Zhaylen pushes himself up from the floor and uses the fire from his feet as a propeller to send himself up in the air and crashing into Hero with a headbutt. An incoming boulder from Yuki would knock Zhaylen and Hero out of the air and into the trees around them.

Yuki: You boys let your guard down.

The trees were knocked over and burned away by the power up from Zhaylen, showing off his Iron Flame Dragon form. He slow walked away from the fire then leaped towards Yuki's direction. His leg would shoot towards Yuki for a kick but missed by Yuki simply ducking. Zhaylen stopped himself in mid-air however and pointed his hand down at Yuki, releasing a beam of fire that sent him in the ground. Zhaylen took to the sky with a big jump.

Zhaylen: Dragon! Hellstorm!

He'd rapidly throw his elongated fists covered with fire down at Yuki, tunneling him deeper into the ground with each punch.

Zhaylen: Here you go!

On the last punch, a ball of fire had been gathered up which Zhaylen threw down at Yuki with a pillar of flames spewing out from the hole he was in.

Zhaylen: Guess I win.

Hero: I don't think so!

Zhaylen: Huh?!

Hero: Dragon! Crash!

Swiping his sword out at Zhaylen, Hero would send his signature dragon of energy at him. Zhaylen breathed in and opened his mouth out wide, clashing the dragon with his breath of fire. Both fighters struggled with prevailing in power over the other but Hero would succeed and have his dragon break through the flames and hit Zhaylen who blocked it off. Yuki would break the ground away that he was buried in and revealed what seemed to be a new form of his. Zhaylen, who landed on the floor safely would be amazed by it, as would Hero.

Zhaylen: Woah, I've never seen him do that before.

Hero: What is this?
