The Battle for Heroes [Locked]

Shjade smiled, shaking her head slowly in disbelief. You would use a sword of evil against an Ebon Knight? Oh, you poor, misguided child...

She stood there, waiting until the sword's beam was nearly upon her, before she made her move. Spinning aside, she brought her cursed blade Thousands against the dark beam with it's flat edge, then turns it upward at an angle, directing the energy as with a mirror. The powerful blast shot upwards into the sky, out and away where it would do her no harm.

However, this maneuver required her to stand still until all of the attack had passed over the sword, leaving her in a weak defensive position against the daggers coming at her side. The best she could do was attempt to deflect them with her own dagger Kiss, but with so many...

She concentrated her parries on vital spots, knocking aside several blades flying towards her chest and neck. A grunt of pain soon fell from her still as three blades burned their way into her right thigh, and another into her shin. Leethus' blast ended, and she dropped backwards quickly to get out of the way, catching another two blades in her sword arm in the process.

Tcha...sloppy... she thought.

Shjade did not try to stand or even get off of her back. She was silent except for the sound of her breathing, but she was busy. Her fingers traced patterns on the ground around her with her own blood. No runes, these; something older. Things she had learned from her ancient companion, a few lesser symbols of long gone times.

By steel and blood, with hatred and intrigue, she whispered, I call towards the one time villains and veteran lovers...

Before she completes the spell, Hero pulls out a thin, long sword.

Hero: "I see you're getting serious. So I'll just play along, too."

He kicks the dirt.

Hero: "You know, I was just toyin' with ya before. But now that you're lookin' serious, I might as well join the fun!"

With that, the armor vanishes into thin air, leaving a young boy in its wake.

Halo: "I trained for years without that armor. And since I've been fighting in that heavy armor lately...I'm a lot faster than you think! And most of my powers were unusable in that suit."

He looks up at the sky.

Halo: "So any time you want to really fight, just tell me. I can handle most any spell and usually know a way to counter it. I may seem cocky, but you'll believe me when you meet your defeat."

Halo puts forth the sword.

Halo: "The Valis sword...the most powerful sword in the universe. Even stronger than Leethus! It holds the power of Yin inside. Nothing can break it! So go ahead and chant your probably useless spell, unless you summon a god, it won't do you any good."

Shjade continues the spell as if she wasn't interrupted in the first place.

This shall be closed until Shjade resumes the battle, and I need a pm from her! ^_^
