Sceldrant's Comet

by Michael Rogers

  Rachael: (Thank you.) *She started to swim up towards the surface and gasped for air, noticing Nathan and Luna ready to dive back down.* "Let's go."

  Nathan: "What about-?"

  Rachael: "He's buying us time!" *Several explosions erupted out of the water.*

  Luna: "Shit, underwater missiles?! Wat else does this effin' snake have?!"

  Nathan: "We owe him." *He spoke in a deep voice and started to swim towards the island.*

  Trevour: *He watched the party's shadow swim towards the island with a smile.* (DIRTCLOUD TALONS)

  *Trevour scrunched his fingers and scratched the water where the Guardian was, causing the streams of sand to explode on the side of the Guardian.*

  Guardian: "I will use Grand Rostical on you!" *It suddenly spiralled onto the ocean's floor and blue glyphs started to spiral around it.*

  Trevour: (Sorry to break your plans.) *He smiled and proudly placed his hands on his number, effectively ripping it.*

  *Rachael, Nathan, Luna and Destiny made it on the island and looked back to watch a massive explosion erupt from the sea.*

  Rachael: *She gasped due to the size of the explosion.* "I hope he.."

  Nathan: "He may be a warrior, but he's smart."

  Luna: "Yea-"

  Twortz: "Hahahackee." *She faced the party, watching it suddenly rain down on them.* "I wanted to see if you made it-"

  Luna: "Shut the fuck up, bitch-"

  Rachael: "Twortz?"

  Nathan: "How long have you been here-?"

  Luna: "She was able to run on the water. She left without us."

  Nathan: (She's acquired the level of Astragon control to walk on water? Why is her power growth different from the other's?)

  Rachael: "Is this true?"

  Twortz: "Yes."

  Rachael: ".. Why?" *She spoke, as if she was hurt.*

  Twortz: "All that is needed, is for one of us to complete these trivial little games. Then we can get the answers we seek. Isn't it a little unrealistic to think we all could win?"

  Nathan: (She has a point.)

  Twortz: "See you soon, Rachael and friends." *She touched the door without hearing their response, causing her body to warp upwards, leaving a ripple in the air.*

  Rachael: (Twortz..)

  Luna: "Pssht-" *She frowned and ran towards the door, quickly touching it.*

  Nathan: *He stood up straight, watching it continue to pour down on them.* (Is it raining? No-, it's the Rasticsplash from that massive explosion.)

  *Yellow monkeys jumped out of the dampening sand around the party, circling around them.*

  Nathan: *He glanced at the constantly moving monkeys with a frown, placing his hand on his sword.* "It's just us two."

  Rachael: "Why can't we work together?!" *She screamed and punched the sand, causing a visible ripple to pulse around her fist.*

  Nathan: "Huh-?" *He swayed to each side, as if he endured a miniature quake.*

  Rachael: *She watched all the surrounding monkeys trip backwards, all landing on their backs.* "Let's go!" *She sprinted towards the door and touched it.*

  Nathan: *He smirked in respect and jumped over a monkey before touching the door.* (She's actually a good leader-)

  Lezard: "What an exciting match-"

  ?????: "It certainly was, sir."

  Karol: *He gasped with a childish grin, quickly looking to his side.* "Twevour?!"

  Trevour: "Heh heh."

  Lezard: "Ooo, welcome back my delicious monster." *He giggled, wiggling his bottom to each side.*

  Trevour: "I was able to escape before the Guardian's Grand Rostical touched me."

  Lezard: "A water based Grand Remenistal on, or even in the water.. I don't want to think what could've happened."

  Grey: "It appears only six contestants have made it through to the final Reality Marble!"

  *Grey shouted with a proud voice, queuing all the screens to connect into one, forming a massive cinema-like screen in the hallway.*

  Trevour: "Only six remain?" *He focused his attention to a large green stadium, watching Luna, Rachael and Nathan warp onto it.*

  Rachael: *She tapped her foot on the grass.* "It's synthetic."

  Luna: "Aye?"

  Rachael: "It's fake."

  Luna: "It looks like a football field."

  Nathan: "Where's Twortz?"

  Grey: *He placed his hand on his throat.* "The contestants have reached the final area. Proceed to meet them on the podium."

  *Grey looked confused and touched his throat again due to the lack of response.*

  Grey: "Please respond?"

  Ordin: *He looked shocked, quickly touching his throat.* "I don't detect her Neuron signature!"

  Grey: "Inconceivable? Is there something wrong with the glyphic communicators?"

  Ordin: "Not at all, your majesty."

  Grey: "Then.."

  Ordin: "The only other explanation is-" *He spoke with a sorrowful tone.*

  Grey: "It's not logical.. She's the best lieutenant of my imperial warriors. She was the best suited to be the opponent of this year's champion."

  Ordin: "Then, there must be a disturbance in a Reality Marble. She was captain levelled."

  Grey: *He nodded his head.* "That has to be it."

  *A woman dressed in blue and white armour dropped to the ground, covered in her own blood.*

  Zazark: *He smirked and ripped out a metallic pole from the woman's neck, causing more blood to pump out.* "Fufufu.. The finale-"

  *Twortz suddenly waddled onto the podium and stared at Zazark's back.*

  Twortz: "Have I completed these trivial games?"

  Zazark: "Trivial? Fufufu." *He smirked and slowly turned around, revealing specks of blood all over his face.*

  Twortz: *She frowned and quickly reached over her shoulder, causing sparks to scatter around her violin.* "Am I the second person here?"

  Zazark: "No, she was already here waiting-"

  ?????: "Actually, you were the third." *He suddenly stepped next to Twortz.*

  Twortz and Zazark: "Who are you?" *They stared at the man, observing his different shades of brown armour.*

  ?????: *He glanced at Zazark in disgust.* "The man with the spiky hair is not part of the games."

  Trevour: "A-Alan?" *He spoke in shock, intensely staring at the screen with widening eyes.*

  Zazark: "It doesn't matter who you are, I don't like that calm attitude of yours! It's like, you don't even know the danger that stands before you-"

  *A sharp piece of ground erupted up, slicing Zazark's face.*

  Zazark: *He stumbled back in terror, watching his blood quickly run down his chin.* (A ground user-)

  Alan: "Are you going to play or use your unique weapon?" *He spoke in a calm manner, glancing at Twortz, before focusing back to Zazark.*

  Twortz: (So, he's currently an ally. I'll team up, then defeat him after-) *She clipped out a small dagger from the violin and started to play.*

  Alan: "Play something, more upbeat." *He smirked and started to run towards Zazark.* "ROCK PILLAR"

  Zazark: *His eyes flashed an orange glyph, causing him to smirk.* "ROCK PILLAR"

  *Alan and Zazark kicked the ground, causing two spiked pillars of rock to collide into each other, exploding into a pulse of pebbles.*

  Alan: "You're a ground user too?"

  Zazark: "Fufufu-" *He suddenly appeared behind Alan and kicked him in the back of his leg, causing him to bend backwards.*

  Alan: "Ah-?!"

  Zazark: "Unlike my other party members, I don't have a seal weakening my power!-"

  Twortz: "Sonic Rush." *She swayed around and blew the violin, blasting a scattered shock wave at Zazark.*

  Zazark: *He suddenly jumped off Alan and flipped in the air, landing out of Twortz's attack.* "Fufufu."

  Alan: "You don't know who I am, do you?" *He stood up straight and faced Zazark with a smirk.* "I'm a member of The Blazing Trio."

  Lezard: "The Blazing Trio? Holy fish-cakes, that's one of the top guilds!-"
r />   Trevour: "..."

  Karol: "Bwazing? Why is his guild called bwazing if he used ground?"

  Lezard: "Also. If The Black Brigade is meant to be a secret, why do they have a world known guild?"

  Karol: "I dhon't know."

  Twortz: (I learnt how to do this, that night, when Millard taught me how to harness my power.. I think it's finally time I use it-)

  Zazark: "The fire trio? I'm a member of The Black Brigade." *He smirked back at Alan while slowly placing his hand on a silver whip which hung off his thigh.* "Fufufu."

  Alan: "Heh heh-" *He jumped forward and glanced at Twortz.*

  Zazark: "Fu?" *He looked to his side, watching a string of visible sound hit him on the side, causing a bone to loudly crack, followed by a chord of violins.*

  Twortz: "Sacred scores, Lymph's Wave."

  Zazark: *He slid across the podium and stopped with a confident smirk.* "You're weak, but your attacks are far stronger than you should be!-"

  Alan: "There're two opponents here! Might, strength, fury, courage, form these emotions in array of mighty pillars-" *He punched his fists together, pushing them towards Zazark.*

  Zazark: *He stepped back and avoided another stream of visible sound, listening to its faint echoing violin-like sound.* "ROCK PILLAR-"

  Alan: "GROUND SHAKING" *He watched a line of different shaped rocks erupt towards Zazark.*

  Zazark: *He punched forward and a rock pillar shot up in front of Alan's rock pillars.* "Fufu-" *He watched the rock pillar explode as more rock pillars continued to erupt towards him.*

  *Zazark spun around, causing a snake-like swirl of sparks to spiral around him.*

  Zazark: "Harh!" *He smashed all the growing pillars to one side with one stroke of his whip.*

  Twortz: *She stared at Zazark's shiny whip.* (His whip is silver? Is it metallic or just some sort of paint-?)

  Zazark: "I'm tired of that violin-"

  Alan: "Pockets of fire, burn, BLAZING HAVOC" *He yelled at the sky and a beam of red magma crashed down on top of Zazark.*

  Zazark: "Ahhh!"

  Twortz: *She slowly stopped playing and watched the synthetic grass melt like plastic around the red magma.* "I don't-"

  Alan: "Heh heh." *He smirked and stood in a powerful pose, causing a brown glyph to zigzag underneath him.*

  Twortz: "You killed him? We completed the-?"

  Alan: "No-"

  Zazark: "Harh!" *He flicked the whip upwards, exploding the lava stream.*

  Twortz: "Eeekckee!-" *She watched it rain down with red magma, causing her to kick the ground.* "Sphere of Might."

  *A sphere-like pulse blasted the raining magma away from Twortz.*

  Alan: "Sturdy might show your patience, defend yourself against all harsh conditions-"

  *Alan jumped up and kicked the ground, causing three pillars of rock to erupt around Zazark.*

  Alan: "GRANITE PRISON" *He punched his hands together, violently slamming the pillars together, causing swirls of dirt to ring around Zazark.*

  Twortz: *She smiled in amazement.* "You did it.."

  Alan: *He stared at the tight rock pillars with an emotionless face.* (I can still sense a Neuron signature, though.)

  Zazark: *He frowned in complete darkness and twitched his wrist, causing the whip to jab into the ground on its own accord.* "Tangrowth Slash."

  *Vein-like whips erupted into the air around Zazark, smashing the pillars away.*

  Twortz: "Hickee!" *She gasped in shock and quickly took a deep breath, screaming out a shock wave.* "Sonic Roar."

  Zazark: "ROCK PILLAR" *He smirked and kicked the ground, watching a rock pillar suddenly explode past him as it blocked the shock wave.*

  Alan: "Bristling spears, hardened might, rain forth at my will, ROCK SPEAR" *He spun around and punched the air, blasting a spiralling rock spear from the ground high into the air.*

  Twortz: *She glanced in the area the rock spear shot out from.* (Was that Earth? I couldn't see-, it moved so fast-)

  Alan: *He discreetly looked up and smiled.* "Yharh!" *He waved his arm downwards, blasting the spiralling piece of rock into Zazark's shoulder.*

  Zazark: "How-?!" *He intensely stared at the rock spear, noticing its unique spiral shape.*

  Alan: "That Rostical makes a perfect shape for speed and penetration, no matter the defence, that attack will break through it."

  Zazark: "Rock Spear.. Thanks for the Rostical, fufufuf." *He ripped the rock spear out with a smile.*

  Alan: (What did that mean?)

  Twortz: (These two are completely out of my league!) *She cautiously stood out of attacking range and placed the violin in between her legs, forming a triangle with her fingers.* "Sonic Pulsar."

  *Twortz breathed into the spaces in between her fingers, blasting a vortex of sound at Zazark.*

  Zazark: "STEELIGHT RETENTION" *He reached across his shoulder and pulled forward, causing a pulse of sparks to scatter around a metallic pole.*

  Alan: (Yeah, focus your attention on the Score User-) "Blinding dust, rain down-"

  *Alan kicked the ground and a boulder blasted up directly in front of him, causing him to smirk.*

  Alan: "ROCK SLIDE" *He punched the boulder and small pebbles shot into Zazark.*

  Zazark: *He hissed in pain, watching small bullet-like holes burn into his pants.* (Damn rocks!-)

  Twortz: *She smiled with anticipation.* (Almost-)

  Zazark: "Grrr!" *He swayed the metallic pole and hit Twortz's vortex of sound away, causing the pole to make a violent humming sound.* "Argh-" *He let go of the pole, watching it suddenly spiral off the podium.*

  Twortz: (I thought I had him then.)

  Alan: *He listened to the very faint sounds of the metallic pole landing on something under the podium.* (The Rasticsplash alone was able to knock his weapon away-)

  Zazark: "I'm fighting you at top power-" *He licked his lips in anger and swayed his hand, causing a metallic pole to suddenly spiral towards Twortz, violently hitting her head on the forehead.*

  Twortz: "Ckee!-" *She screamed at deafening levels and dropped onto her back, as she lost control to all her limbs.*

  Alan: (He threw another steel pole? I see.. It's Rostical.. The Rock Pillar, steel.. Is he a ground user too-?)
