Three Worlds Collide

Chapter 17:Shades Of Amethyst

I guess we won't find out now, considering the fact that Dream decided to step back from Stephan and Hannah. Hannah let out a sigh of relief as she looked over at Vantom, who had been observing very closely.

Hannah:So...

Vantom:What?

Stephan:What do you think of this?

Vantom:You two are extremely lucky that he didn't kill you.

Losoul:I don't think they're out of the woods yet. Dream is here for a reason, and I don't remember any of us other than Stephan being put on trial.

MaKayla:So what if he's here to observe?

Riaaz:I guess that could be an option...but is it just you that he's observing, Stephan?

Stephan:If it is, I feel real damn special.

Hannah huffed at Stephan, who wrapped her in his arms.

Stephan:Better?

Hannah:(She nodded and smiled like a child.)Mhm!

Shadowgun:Since Dream is apparently not moving, why not get the rest of the tournament out of the way? At the very least, it'll kill some time.

Phantom:Sounds good. But there's no point in using the wheel to choose the fights anymore.

Hannah:So what are we gonna do? Rock, Paper, Scissors?

Phantom:Funny, but no. Shadowgun, choose who you want to fight out of me, Hannah, and Stephan.

Shadowgun:I guess I'll fight Stephan. It'll be interesting to see how far you've come.

Phantom:So I get the honor bestowed upon me to fight Hannah? This is gonna be fun.

Hannah:Hell the fuck no! I am not fighting you!

Phantom:Why not? It's not like I'm gonna kill you or anything.

Hannah:You've never liked me, and now you get a chance to fight me? Not happening.

Shadowgun:If it means that much to you, I'll fight you instead.

Hannah:Thank you.

Stephan:So a mirror match?

Phantom:I was thinking the same thing, Stephan.

Hannah:Is that because you two are more or less like each other?

Phantom:In fighting style? Yes. But in personality, not so much.

Stephan:Other than a few things.

Shadowgun:Obviously. Now, go ahead and take your places.

As Phantom stepped back from Stephan, Stephan stretched his arms with a bit of a smirk on his face. With no weapons in either of their hands, Phantom and Stephan immediately began with a punch from Phantom that went clean past Stephan's face. And within moments of that initial face, they were off. Each exchanged attacks that you would see in one of those really good stickman ads on YouTube. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click the link below.

By the way, I'll reference this video a few times in this chapter. So for this one, only watch from 1:50 to 2:10. Anyway, Phantom and Stephan both put off a focused aura, but they were both clearly excited for the fight that had yet to come. As a few minutes passed, their attacks became harder to keep up with for the normal humans. They didn't show any signs of getting tired any time soon, but a few moments after reaching a speed that the normal humans couldn't keep track of, they stopped. Phantom held his signature demonic glare as his gauntlets equipped themselves, leaving Stephan essentially defenseless against the tank known as ascended Phantom. Phantom kept his distance from Stephan, but threw a punch, sending an extremely powerful blast of air past him. This does tie into his air bending abilities, so keep that in mind. Anyway, Stephan dodged  the attack that was immediately followed up by Phantom, who began his rampant assault. Stephan's strong and all, but fists against demonic gauntlets? Common sense says don't try to be aggressive if you're the one without the demon weapons, so Stephan was basically forced to defend against Phantom's onslaught of attacks. As time passed, Phantom only made it harder for Stephan to keep up. I mean, think about it. Stephan is more of an aggressive type fighter, so for him to go on the defensive is bad enough. But playing passive for an extended amount of time, knowing that one slip up can cost him the fight understandably gets on his nerves. So Stephan used his snake wheel thing to get Phantom off of him.(And for future reference, that ability is called Slither.)  Phantom hesitated to continue his attack, but went through with it. The difference with this clash was that Stephan wasn't playing passively. Instead, Stephan matched Phantom, blow for blow. From there, it only ramped up, going from harmless sparring to ground-breaking  clashes. Skip forward a few minutes, and Phantom is still calmly throwing attacks. Stephan, on the other hand, seems like he's getting tired. In a swift attack quicker than the normal eye can see, Phantom punched both of Stephan's feet into the ground, leaving him knee-deep in the solid ground below them. Phantom motioned for the crowd around them to clear a path directly in front of him and directly behind him. Once the paths were cleared, Phantom disappeared. About 10 seconds passed by before Stephan's body jerked as if it had been hit. Another 10 seconds, and the same thing happened. Do you know what's happening yet? If not, just text me and I'll explain. Anyway, about two and a half minutes passed by before Stephan was able to escape the ground's grip on him. When he did, he was met with Phantom's D3vastation, which promptly placed itself on top of Stephan before he had a chance to recover.(For those that are a bit behind the bunch, Phantom slammed his war hammer into Stephan's head like a regular hammer to a nail.) Without a moment to spare, Phantom added a solid black orb to the onslaught. He threw the orb at D3vastation, creating a pitch black tornado that engulfed the head of it. The tornado disappeared within a few seconds of spawning as Phantom slowly lifted D3vastation, only to realize Stephan wasn't there. Hell, everyone except Chaos was confused as to where he had run off to. After a few moments, Shadowgun threw a few live grenades at Phantom's feet. Upon explosion, Stephan was revealed to be standing directly in front of Phantom, but he was invisible. Shadowgun entered his Insight form and made his way to the battlefield. From there, Phantom and Shadowgun clashed with Stephan in a 2-on-1 brawl that was literally groundbreaking. Fast-forward a few minutes, and Phantom uses his Wraith to disengage from the fight, leaving Shadowgun and Stephan clashing like never before. When Phantom stepped out of the clouds known as his Wraith form, he was near Lostit and Ghost.
