Collaborator Arc 2: Conquering Nature

Episode 8: Hurricane

Trident: *Agitated* (Is this guy asleep!?)

Zellos: *Snoring*

Trident: (What a jerk!) Hey, wake up!

Zellos: *Snores louder*

Trident: Fine!

(Trident conjures a jet of water and shoots it at Zellos. Zellos rolls over to his left, effectively dodging the attack.)

Trident: Tch, coincidence.

(He tries again. And again, Zellos rolls to his right to dodge.)

Trident: Are you just screwing with me!?

Zellos: zZz You're being too loud. zZz

Trident: You little punk.

(Trident tries to attack again. Zellos stretches and the attack flies under his left arm.)

Trident: You're pissing me off!

Zellos: zZz Chill out, relax….have some water. zZz

(Trident forms multiple water whips and attacks once more. Zellos goes from evading with simple tosses and turns to complex evasion maneuvers only to finish in a comfortable sleep position.)

Trident: (No way...he has to be messing with me.) There is no way you're actually asleep. Not with how you just moved.

Zellos: *Snores even louder*

Trident: Hey! HEEEYYY!

(Trident walks over and pokes Zellos' face. No reaction occurred.)

Trident: *Gritting his teeth* He...really is asleep!!!

Zellos: zZz Can't sleep with all the racket you're making. shouting like some maniac. zZz

Trident: I can't stand you!

Zellos: zZz Sit down then. zZz

(Trident summons a large wave of water the size of a large bay. He drops it down above Zellos.)

Trident: Dodge that, sleepy head!

(Zellos hops up to his feet, but he is slouched.)

Trident: Heh, finally woke you up!

Zellos: zZz This is all you've got? And you expect me to take this fight seriously? Half moon… zZz

(Zellos slashes the wave in half with great ease.)

Zellos: zZz If I don't even have to wake up to fight, you must not be worth it. zZz

Trident: I...don't know what to…

(Zellos starts to become visibly stressed. As if a nightmare overcame him.)

Zellos: zZz L-Lilith… zZz

Trident: Your sister?

Zellos: zZz Jack, don't you dare! zZz

Trident: Jack Nimbus? You know him? Must have fought. Wait, nevermind that, now's my chance.

(Trident forms a bident made from water and charges towards Zellos.)

Trident: That nightmare has you distracted!

Zellos: zZz You bastard! You'll pay!! zZz

(Zellos swings his sword swiftly almost as if it teleported. A cut appears on Trident's face.)

Trident: How did you-!?

(Multiple cuts soon followed, appearing all over Trident's body. Trident screams, but Zellos silences him with a cut to his back with a gust of wind that bludgeons him as well.)
