Far From Earth, Close To Home (Completed)

Chapter 8: The Argument

"What is the meaning of this?!"
"Uhm..." Halo said nervously, sitting in his seat.
I stood and looked at him.
"We're kicking you off." I stated.
Everyone cringed.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY, DARKENED?!"
"I said, your a tyrant, and bad for the team!"
"HOW DARE YOU!?"
"Have a good day, Israel."
I said, imitating him from yesterday.
"BUT-"
Everyone glared at him.
Probably because he looked defeated at that point.
And he walked out solemnly.
"I'll be back." He said.
"Yeah, right."
We began to talk about what we were gonna do about the storm, since it was strange the Darkened weren't coming.
I offered to get us drinks.
Everyone asked for coffee with things in it and all that.
Accept for Matthew and Gwen.
Gwen wanted lemonade
Matthew wanted Water.
My paper was almost filled.
I came back and everyone was talking about Israel.
After passing out the drinks because I had to sort them, Israel opened the door.
He had a five foot blade on his back.
He looked at me.
"Meet me outside."
He walked out, and everyone looked at me.
He was fighting for the role of the leader.
He was fighting to the death.

When I walked out, I had started shaking.
He looked at me and he then threw his blade at me, without warning. I braced myself, and it froze in mid air.
Dark force wrapped around it, and it disappeared.
I looked at my hands. They were emitting a dark aura.
"Hmph. As expected."
He pulled out his trident.
"Now, we fight,"
He threw that at me, and when I tried to do the same, it passed right through, and I just barely ducked in time.
The trident came back to him in no time at all.
I thought hard, trying to think of what weapon I should use, but all I could think of was the broadsword.
And it appeared, strapped on my back.
I pulled it out, and, feeling braver than I am, I pointed my sword, smirked, and said,
"En garde."
"Spoken like a true leader. Sadly, that will go to waste."
He charged at me, and I dodged, but he knew. He then threw the trident where I dodged, and I just barely parried it away with my sword.
"Nice. Sadly, you can't keep that up forever."
"STOP GLOATING ALREADY!"
"Hmph."
I looked, and everyone was looking out the windows of the town hall. They all were cheering for me, Halo smiling at me widely.
I felt energized.
I charged and slashed at with within a second, or at least that's what it seemed.
He parried without a problem.
My broadsword shook, and distablized for a moment. It got itself back together though.
I started to move back, as he threw the trident and I pushed it away. It still went back to him.
I tried to imagine something, but nothing happened. My mind seemed fogged.
I tried to attack, but he kept parrying, but I just kept attacking, and he kept parrying.
I eventually overworked the sword, and it fell apart. It turned to mist and went away.
"Looks like you aren't able to fight. I'll have mercy on you, and let you live. But you must allow me to lead again."
"Never." I said, without hesitation.
"Very well."
He threw the trident, and I dodged the best I could, but it caught onto my shirt and tore into the side.
I suddenly felt a bolt of rage surge through me, and out of nowhere, came a darkened wolf. This threw Israel off so much, he forgot to return his trident to him. I ran at him, and just when he realized, I punched him in the head.
I obviously don't know how to make a proper fist, cause that hurt a lot.
My hand aches, but I had to fight. I told the wolf to charge on my mind, and he obeyed. He got one bite in before the trident came back and jabbed him as it it were a boomerang. With spikes. And like a fork.
The dark smoke faded, like everything else.
I tripped him, and he slightly scratch my shoulder with the trident with falling. I breathed in sharply, out of nature.
He threw his trident, and I dodged, then he took that time to get up. I took that time to come up with a plan. And I got it.
I made the broadsword come again.
Aura began to form strongly around my right hand.
I charged at him.
"Again? Try something new."
He parried, and I smirked. I let go of the sword, causing it to turn into smoke again. I then pushed him with my right hand.
The dark power blew him away, and he hit a tree hard with his head, he had to be too dazed to get up, forget fight.
I walked to him and made a sword in my hand again.
He looked at me, and desperately pleaded his life the best he could.
"P-please, have mercy, Darkened."
I stared him in his eyes. I knew he was planning to stab me in the back later. I had to kill him...
But I can't. I just can't.
I put my sword up, about to make the strike.
Then I dropped it, and it faded away.
I looked down and walked in the town hall without a word.
