Juncture Of Regrets

Chapter Seven: Muramasa vs Excalibur

I ran outside while carrying Elise with the wind. I used to wind to pick me up. We flew into the sky. I dropped her home. I used to wind to hide us as we flew in the sky. The wind created a barrier that blended us into the sky.

"Elise, I am so sorry. I will end things for once and for all and you don't need to see me anymore."

"You idiot! Save our damn world and return safely. If you lose, I will never forgive you. You got that?" Elise commanded me to win. I nodded.

Dark shadowy wind ran across the sky. I knew it was from her. I flew up into the sky.I followed the wind.

I followed , the wind to the center of London. She was on top of The glorious famous Big Ben. She was sitting on the clock hand of the Elizabeth tower. I ran into a vacant side street. I flew up into the sky using the wind to carry me.

I was in front of the clock hand. We were face to face.

"The Hero has arrive." She jumped up like a dolphin and tried to stab me with Excalibur. I evaded the attack with Excalibur.

"Hey Layla, King Arthur wasn't real. So how?"

"So you don't even know about that too. I thought we were fighting not talking", she sighed, "King Arthur was one of us and he was erased from time but his name managed to stay as a legend and blah blah. "

She trapped me in gush of black wind. She created an illusion. I never knew our powers could do this. I walked forward into the darkness of the black wind. It felt like it was never-ending until I saw her.

"Alisha?" I called. She didn't respond but I could see her as clear as I could see the sky. Her black hair laid rest upon her shoulders as she turned around.

"Hey Alex. "She cried out. She was standing right in front of me. I couldn't believe it she tried to do this. Showing my friend. To try to make weaker. How dare she! I reached out for her hand but then she transformed into Layla. Layla came out me slashing her sword towards me. Quickly in rage I mindlessly began sprouting out my green as a forest wind from my body and destroyed her illusion with my angry powerful wind.

I shouted at the top of my lungs, " how dare you show me her!" Layla emotion was plain; she was emotionless it was like she was forced to show me her but she didn't want to. She snapped out of her emotionless state.

She plunged towards me with Excalibur, I quickly flew up into the stormy clouds. She followed. The wind pounded my face as I flew higher and higher away from her. She in a quick-instant she flew above and slashed her sword at me.

I pulled a sword from the past, Muramasa. The legendary Japanese katana. I blocked her Excalibur with my Muramasa. The knowledge of the sword and its history of the sword slammed into my brain. I didn't even know how I did but this was no time for me to be concern with this. I was in battle. We were fighting in the air. My legendary katana clashed with her legendary sword.

I slashed and slashed and slashed but she kept blocking my attacks. I gasped. I was exhausted. She blocked all my attacks without breaking a sweat. She suddenly came at with all she got. Smashing me with her sword again and again and again but luckily I was able to barely block all of the attacks she made. I furiously jabbed my Muramasa into her chest. She blocked it but I was too fast, she got pushed back because of my attack. I kept pushing her back. She fell back towards Big Ben. I flew down towards Big Ben. I was about to slam her with my foot when she dodged me and I smashed through Big Ben. From my left she came trying to pierce through me. I evaded her.

"Layla!", I threatened ,"go down. I will make sure you won't feel this pain anymore."

She didn't respond. She charged at me like a wild boar. I managed to somehow avoid her. I came up with an idea. I stood on top of Big Ben. I held out my Muramasa. I focused on the wind. I surrounded my sword in a gust of wind.

"Layla! This is my final strike." I ran but as soon as I reached the edge of Big Ben, I jumped into the air. I starting flying charging towards her. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!", I shouted. Layla tried to block with her sword but my katana broke her sword in half and plunged into her chest. My katana went right through her. My metallic katana pierced through her skin and came out from the other side. My katana slowly became bloody red like a crimson moon in the dark night sky. She was slowly dying. She coughed and blood splatted onto my face. I let out another scream, "Ahhhhhhhhh!" But this time I was crying. I dragged my katana out of her. Her lifeless body slowly fell towards the ground like a paper falling down. I didn't understand why I was crying but I was. Her body slowly began to detartrate before she hit the ground. She was being erased from time. Only I would remember her now, Elise and Alisha would have some memories of her but still it isn't the same. I killed someone for the first time in my life. I felt her lifeless body get pierced by my blade. I stood on top of Big Ben looking at the stormy sky clearing up.

"So, this is it." I told myself.
