Gaia Quest: Switch'Loc's Ambition

Part 4 - The fight

"Alright, Chaos Fireseeker. You're up." Switch'Loc, Head of the White Rose Order announced. It was customary for those of higher ability to test against him, as it had been for the past five years. Chaos was definitely the best fighter he had seen over the past five years, the whole time he had been officially Leader of the White Rose. It was very rare to complete any weapon course on the first try. Chaos had successfully completed all sixteen courses with achieving perfect scores on all of them, at age ten. He was seeked out by the White Rose Knights, even though he had not received the gift of Bound Weapons. He respectfully declined. Here he was, ten years later, ready to spar Switch'Loc with the mighty Remstooth. This was a Martial Combat match, as was a normal practice in high court. A group of magical healers created perfect clones of both men, who controlled the clones with their thoughts. These clones would fight to the death. Inside the ruined Cathedral halls, they stood and bowed, wishing one another good luck, as was custom. Above them, hundreds watched on in silence, ready for the fight of the two greatest champions. Switch'Loc summoned forth his mighty Bound Weapon and readied for combat. Chaos smirked and threw the beastly weapon over his shoulder. All was quiet. For a long while, neither attacked. All of the sudden, they both lunged forward, weapons clashing against one another as fast as light. "His strength," Switch'Loc thought, talking to the voice, "He's wielding that ungodly weapon as if it were made of clouds." They continued to swing at one another. Switch'Loc, seeing an opening, swung at Chaos' feet. In a blink of an eye, Chaos jumped onto Switch'Loc's Blade! "Come one, I'm not a kid anymore," Chaos said, mockingly, "Step it up, go all out." This made Switch'Loc furious, so he decided to fight like his life depended on it. Finally, after long effort, he managed to nick Chaos. Seeing his blood triggered the voice to take full control over the body of Switch'Loc, who summoned another blade in his other hand. He jumped into the air, and swung his blades down, aiming to split Chaos down the middle. He was so focused on Chaos' body that he wasn't paying attention to where Chaos' blade was at. Chaos plunged the blade deep into Switch'Loc's heart. The match was over five minutes after it began. Both clones were phased out of existence, and the crowd cheered.
