Spencer sprinted at him intercepting him and threw him to the ground. He rolled and bounced back on his feet.
“Well, well. So thats how we are going to play.” He said then sprinted at Spencer.
“I can’t see him! He’s too fast!” Spencer said trying to following him.
“Behind you!” I yelled. But before Spencer could react he flew off of his feet and hit one of the pillars that lined the center of the room. He fell to the ground struggling to get up.
“Spencer!” Suki said transforming next to him covering his body to protect him. He grinned at Suki then kicked in the gut making her collapse on top of Spencer.
Kathryn sprinted over to them and fired a couple rounds at the boy. He stood there swinging his blade casually cutting the bullets before they could hit him.
He began to walk forward as Kathryn was shooting at him. When he got close to her he thrusted his blade at her and punctured her through the gut.
She screamed in agonizing pain and fell to her knees. “Bye now.” He said then sung his sword.
I sprinted at him and intercepted his blade just in time. I sung up and caused him to lose balance and he stumbled back.
“Tsk tsk. Why did you have to ruin my fun.”
“Oh well sorry, I’m not going to stand here and watch my friends get slaughtered.” I growled.
“I see. Well then I guess they are going to have to watch you die then.” He twirled his sword and smiled at me. “Lets go. Oh, no holding back. It would be a shame for your friends to see you die like a coward.”
“Spencer and Kathryn stay down, please. I can handle him. You four regain your strength.” I said looking at them smiling then charged at him.
I gritted my teeth and attempted to swing at him but he swiftly dodged by turning to the side, right as the blade passed him.
“What!?” I said looking at him.
“I told you. There is always something that will destroy you. And today I will be your downfall.” he said side swiping me with his blade. I hit a pillar and fell to the ground.
“Eri! Are you okay?” Logan said.
“Yeah. Just a scratch.” I said quickly pushing off the ground before he could hit me.
I sprinted at him slashing him in the back. He growled in pain and swung his blade behind his back trying to hit me.
I slide back dodging the blade by a hair. I jumped over him and attempted to cut him in the shoulder but he smashed me to the ground by his blade and and brought it down on me.
I tried to dodge him but I rolled to late and the blade slashed me in the back.
I screamed in pain and stumbled to my feet.
“What? Is that all you got? The famous daughter of the Nishikawa family! Don’t you wish to avenge your family? It was a shame how they went out.. Struggling for breath.” He said opening his arms up showing me to strike him.
“You killed my parents?” I said looking at him. All he did was grin at me. I felt all my anger bubble up inside me and he stood there looking at me with an emotionless face.
I charged at him slashing and stabbing at him.
We fought for a while dodging and striking at each other until we couldn’t strike anymore.
“Your a very skilled fighter. I really didn’t think you had it in you.” He said breaking heavily.
“As to you.” I replied in a heavy breathed voice. “But, I still have more in me. Logan switch.”
Logan formed into a bow and I took aim. “Soul Resonance.” I said as light began to form around us.
The tip of the arrow started to light up in different colors as I began to pull the string back.
He started at me with a grin then I released it. A huge burst of light shot from the bow as I released.
“Nice try.” He said grabbing the arrow. “You're gonna have to try harder than-” He said before I appeared under him slicing upward with my sword.
He fell to the ground and I kicked his blade away setting my sword to his neck.
“Any last words?” I said.
“When you first came to see me you asked me of my name.”
“What of it?”
“Well, my name is Peter. Now strike strong and true. Or I will come back to haunt you.” He said as I swiped my blade across his neck.
As he died Peter and I remained eye contact as his life slowly slipped away.
Logan appeared next to me looking down at Peter. “Why did you keep eye contact with him?”
“My father told me if I’m going to take a man’s life who is of equal strength, I should owe it to him to look him in the eyes and hear his final words. And if I couldn’t bear to do that, then perhaps he shouldn’t deserve to die.” I said turning around and walked away toward Spencer and Kathryn who managed to make it to their feet.
