Cyrus POV

Lightning strikes me with full force from his hand, making my whole body twitch with pain as I fall to one knee. As I start to get up again, he strikes me again, this time more longer, making me on both knees.

Azul smiles as he shocks Esdeathe as well as she's about to attack. We're no match for this man.

But...

I clench my teeth as I stand again, not caring when I'm slammed with another wave of electricity. I charge and swing my sword as it catches fire, he ducks, grabbing a sword from a dead guard and blocked it quickly and with ease.

Azul gets close to my face, smiling. "The great Phoenix! Show me what you can really do!" He screamed as his sword lit with electricity.

Our swords clashed over and over, his cracking under the pressure, but mine withstood. I grin as I swing down and graze his shoulder. He frowns, then spins around, kicking me in the gut with great speed.

Esdeathe rushes forward and swings her rapier upwards, almost cutting him as he grabbed her wrist and snapped it quickly, making her flinch, but then kick him with her high heeled foot in the face.

He skidded backwards, blood coming from his forehead, he smiled, the storm began to brew more. I stand next to Esdeathe, and glance at her.

"Think you can use your trump if I give you time?" I asked, with a weak grin.

Esdeathe smiled that pleased smile of hers. "Give me a minute or two." She jumped back, and stood still, closing her eyes in concentration.

I light up like a firework, sparking flames fly everywhere through the sky as he dodges my flames and sends a lightning strike at me, catching me in the chest. I clench my chest, but scream out, melting the ground around me, my eyes change colors rapidly.

Azul shot forward, grabbing my face and slamming it into the side of the Windows, running while my face is scraping the side of the hall. I quickly punch his throat, making him stutter in movement. I jump and kick his shoulder, making him jump back against a wall and shoot off of it at me.

I duck, he flies right over me, and lands into the other wall, destroying it. The whole palace is being torn apart. Some of the parts of it has already collapsed under the explosions. Earlier a street in the city was demolished from one of the others fights, I hope everyone's alright...

I turn back to Azul and away from my thoughts. He charges at me and punches me in the stomach, sending electricity into me at the same time, I twitch again as he continues to land blows on me.

He suddenly grabs my arm, and shocks it without stopping, I try to push away, but he doesn't stop. The lightning burns my skin, making it bubble. I drop my sword once he lets go and clench my right arm, it turned to a burned char. I can't feel it, not at all.

I slowly look up at Azul, his face still straight in seriousness. He really wants to fight me that bad? He'll get a fight. I stand, my arm dangling from the rest of my body.

"Finally ready to be serious?" He said, getting ready.

Suddenly, Esdeathe is standing next to him, her sword through his stomach. Even I'm surprised for a moment, wondering how she got there, but then I remember her trump, freezing time.

Comes in handy.

But Azul laughs while the sword still in him, and grabs it, sending lightning through it and shocking Esdeathe. He gathered electricity in his hand, and sent it into Esdeathe's chest, making her fly into the throne room. She landed near the steps to the royal chair.
