Sceldrant's Comet

by Michael Rogers

  Twortz: (Her Ougi.) *She bent her knees, mentally bracing herself for the unknown.*

  Mindy: (A number two Ougi!) *She trembled in thought, as if she was excited to see it.*

  Kath: (One of the few captains that can control the weather.)

  Nancy: "Harrrrh!" *She screamed and jabbed the sceptre into the pearl, causing lightning to vein across the sky.*

  Twortz: *She looked up, hiding her astonishment.* (Lightning?!)

  Arthur: *He slithered towards Twortz at incredible skills.* "HYDRO CANNON"

  Twortz: *She gasped and looked to the side, watching Arthur's eyes glare.* "Fast-"

  *Twortz quickly hobbled to the side and awkwardly swirled to the side, as the water shot past her shoulder.*

  Twortz: *She looked at her armour, noticing it was bent out of shape.* (Its stream has increased in power-?)

  Arthur: "Hsssst."

  Twortz: "Sacred scores, Sonic Pulsar." *She formed a triangle with her fingers and breathed through it, blasting a vortex of sound at Arthur.*

  Nancy: *She focused her attention in the sky, watching rain clouds quickly cover the battlefield.* "Harh!" *She swayed both arms downwards, causing a blast of water to crash on top of Twortz.*

  Twortz: (Argh!-) *She gritted her teeth, as the water pushed her onto the ground.*

  *Yellow, red and blue glyphic rings spiralled around the cracking pearl, queuing her to raise her arms.*

  Nancy: "I summon the maelstrom of death! Poly Zap."

  *Thunder rumbled and it started to rain, causing all the captains to look up.*

  Kath: (The passive damage of her Ougi is devastating in drawn out battles.)

  Wendy: *She watched the dirt around Twortz darken, as the waterfall-like stream of water continued to pour on top of Twortz.* (She's completely immobilised..)

  Twortz: (This isn't how I planned-... This isn't a part of the plan!) *She thought with squinted eyes due to the water's pressure.*

  Nancy: (This one is persistent.) *She frowned with anticipation.*

  Twortz: (This isn't apart of my plan! Sonic Roar.) *She screamed out an echoing shock wave, blasting herself out of the tunnel of water.*

  Nancy: "Brrh!" *She growled in anger.* "Arthur, eat her!"

  Arthur: "HYDRO CANNON"

  Twortz: *She leant up, standing on her knees, taking deep breaths.* "I can't-"

  *A tunnel of water hit Twortz and blasted her off her feet across the ground.*

  Cameron: *He watched the distance between Arthur and Twortz.* (That is one powerful Remenistal Using Scoldrant.)

  Sofia: "Yarh? The fat one keeps getting hurt, this is no longer fun to watch.."

  Kath: "Stop wasting our time, number two. Finish her quickly."

  Nancy: "Yes, ma'am!"

  Twortz: *She tumbled on her side and coughed out water, as if it was a struggle to move.* (I can't die here.. After all I've done-)

  Nancy: "Harh!" *She swayed her sceptre down, causing a lightning bolt to strike down from the darkening clouds, striking into Twortz's back.*

  Twortz: "Arghckee!" *She screamed in pain.*

  Nancy: (Finish her off.)

  Arthur: *He slithered towards Twortz and watched her twitch in pain.* "Tssskt." *He quickly struck Twortz and blinding speeds and swallowed her whole.*

  Nancy: "Bwohohoh."

  Wendy: "Whoa! Swallowed whole!"

  Zayden: "Bwarhagh!" *He chuckled like a maniac, as if he was excited by the way the fight ended.*

  Twortz: *She sunk in gel-like water, listening to a heart beat.* (Is this the end? All my training.. My revenge, my drive.. Everything all for nothing?)

  Nancy: "What a fat disrespectful dirty lamp." *She looked up and spread her arms, enjoying the rain.*

  Twortz: (What a fat disrespectful dirty lamp?) *She thought to herself in misery.* (No! Why the hell am I giving up?! I haven't even gone all out! If I'm going to give, then I'll take this woman with me!)

  Nancy: "Alright, everyone. Let's continue the discussion."

  Mindy: "Sweet-" *She readied to jump down.*

  Cameron: "Halt. I sense a Neuron build up."

  Cindy: "So? She's been eaten-?"

  *Arthur suddenly exploded from the middle body and wet dirt pulsed away, revealing Twortz covered in green slime.*

  Nancy: "A-Arthur?" *She spoke in shock.*

  Twortz: *She angrily wiped her face, frowning at Nancy.* "Come at me with your best! As I will."

  Nancy: "Best?!" *She crossed her arms, causing two human-sized green dragons to appear on both her sides.* "Kill this bitch!"

  Kath: (This woman.) *She observed Twortz with a slight smile.* (Her Astragons just shifted from defensive to offensive.)

  Twortz: "Let's go, kill me!"

  Nancy: *She growled with a twitching eye.* "Now!"

  Twortz: (If I can manipulate the Astragons with my arms, who's to say I can't do the same with-)

  *Twortz glanced to the side and watched a dragon suddenly appear by her side.*

  Twortz: (I need to focus directly in its head!-) "Sonic Rush." *She swayed her arm, blowing a scattered shock wave in its face.*

  Cameron: (That attack was concentrated. But why?)

  *The other dragon flashstepped behind Twortz and inhaled deeply, suddenly blowing out a long red flame.*

  Nancy: "It's over-"

  Twortz: "Hahackee!" *She suddenly disappeared, causing a pulse of wet dirt to explode where she stood.*

  Nancy: "Huh?!"

  Twortz: *She suddenly appeared behind the dragon that breathed out flames and inhaled deeply.* "Sonic Roar." *She screamed out a deafening shock wave, exploding the dragon's head off.*

  Mindy: "How can she flashstep? That's a captain only technique."

  Sofia: "Really? It's obvious she's captain level already. This is why you're number nine, hahehahe."

  Mindy: "..."

  Twortz: *She reached over her shoulder and pulled forward, watching sparks swirl around her violin.* "Sacred dance, Power Up."

  Nancy: (What kind of weapon is that-?)

  Twortz: *She started to play the violin, causing it to echo over the heavy rain.* "Hahckee!-" *She suddenly flashstepped, blowing a swirl of wet dirt and water where she stood.*

  Mindy: (It's getting darker and darker-)

  Nancy: (One of my babies! The Neurons in her attack were strong enough to blow off-)

  Twortz: *She suddenly appeared in front of Nancy cutting her off in mid-thought.* "Hahackee!"

  *Strings of visible sound suddenly blasted Nancy's left hand off, causing gasps to be heard in the distance.*

  Nancy: "Argh?! Get her!-" *She looked over Twortz's shoulder, watching the other dragon collapse onto the dirt.* "How?"

  Twortz: "A shock wave in its head, fried the thing's brains, quite simple really." *She smiled, listening to the sounds of her fading violin chords.*

  Nancy: "Hah!" *She waved down, striking a lightning bolt in front of Twortz.*

  Twortz: *She spun around in a dancer-like manner and flashstepped away.* "So, in order to be a good.. Anything really-" *She appeared out of striking distance.* "Is to use your best techniques last."

  Nancy: "Stop talking to me like that. I am number two, filthy peasant!" *She screamed in rage and waved the sceptre, causing a stroke of water to explode in a slash-like line across Twortz.*

  Twortz: *She flashstepped several feet back, listening to the water's rumbling sound.* "Ougi."

  Nancy: "You may have defeated my three Summonce Scarbras, but I still have the weather! You can never beat that!" *She raised the sceptre in the air, watching lightning scatter in the clouds.*

  Twortz: "Words don't silence me, allow my power to be expressed through these movements you can't even comprehend-" *She sung the incantation, causing purple glyphs to materialise and spiral around her.*

  Nancy: "I'll channel all my power and release a level five thunderstorm directly on top of you!"

  Twortz: "Scores and dances, come forth and show the opponent your power-" *She shouted, causing aurora,
petal-like flowers to erupt out of the glyphs.*

  Wendy: "Wow."

  Twortz: "AURORA BLOSSOM" *She readjusted the violin and placed the dagger on the strings, listening to musical-like scratches echo from the petals.*

  Nancy: "Die!"

  Twortz: "Hahahahahahackee!" *She tilted the violin and a stream of aurora petals splashed in front, rippling towards Nancy.*

  Nancy: "Grarh!" *She nudged the sceptre forward, causing the petals to explode in a sphere-like blast of water.*

  Sofia: "Now this is a fight! Hahehahe!" *She licked her lips and placed her hands on the rails, emphasising her sudden excitement.*

  Nancy: *She swayed the sceptre to each side, watching natural lightning strikes, flash down around Twortz.* "Grrr!"

  Twortz: *She continued to play the violin, causing streams of aurora petals to string up blocking each lightning bolt.* (Ckee! I'm giving it my all!)

  Cameron: *He showed a slight sign of surprise which was out of his character.* "Impressive-"

  *Flashes of aurora coloured lightning sparked around the area the two powers touched.*

  Twortz: "I will not give up!" *She applied more pressure on the dagger as she played the violin, causing the streams of aurora flowers to thicken, breaking through some of Nancy's lightning bolts.*

  Nancy: "Rain down! Release your fury!" *She shouted at the top of her lungs, causing the entire cloud to rain down lightning bolts around Twortz.*

  Cindy: (That level of lightning... It's even out of my league!) *She mumbled in thought, as she stared at the lightning with a dropping jaw.*

  Sofia: *Her face lit up due to the lightning.* "She's on her last life, you always go out with a bang when you've got no continues left."

  Cameron: "Their Neuron levels.. They both have been depleted."

  Nancy: *She watched the lightning dissipate, leaving behind black dirt.* "Done." *She sighed in relief, watching the ground steam from the onslaught of lightning bolts.*

  Mindy: *She gasped in shock.* "When-?"

  Cameron: "Hoh?"

  Nancy: *She heard breathing, causing her to instinctively turn around.* "You!" *She glared at Twortz.*

  Twortz: *She panted and moved the dagger across the violin, noticing it no longer played.* "Oh?" *She glanced at the violin, noticing all the strings had broken.*

  Kath: "Zephyr?"

  Zephyr: "Like what Cameron said-" *He watched faint flickers of aura swirl inside Twortz and Nancy.* "They're both completely out, ma'am."

  Sofia: "I wonder how this will play out?"

  Kath: "Hmm?" *She looked intrigued, trying to hide her smile.*

  Nancy: "Why, you dirty-" *She noticed the clouds clear up, pouring sunlight into the arena.*

  Twortz: *She slightly squinted her eyes due to the sunlight.* "Do you remember me?"

  Nancy: "No." *She dropped the sceptre, causing her to look surprised.* (I lost feeling in my arm?)

  Twortz: "I noticed your rain sapped the Neurons out of me."

  Nancy: "Bwohoho, that's the secondary ability of my Ougi."

  Twortz: "So yours has a second ability, too?"

  Nancy: "Too? What are you talking about?!"

  Twortz: *She dropped the violin and dagger, as if she couldn't hold them up any more.* "The flowers you remember seeing?"

  Nancy: "Yes?" *She reached behind her back, causing the sceptre to suddenly materialise into her hand.*

  Twortz: "They were not flowers, but light."

  Nancy: "That makes no sense."

  Twortz: "I think my unique way of learning Astragons and Neurons gave me the slight advantage-"

  Nancy: "Shut up! Stop talking like you've won! I can feel your Neurons! You're just about empty!"

  Twortz: "Hahackee. I know. I don't have the energy to attack you like I wanted to."

  Nancy: "So?" *She struggled to keep hold of the sceptre.*

  Twortz: "When you started raining your lightning on to me, I was never on the defensive." *She spread her arms with an exhausted smile.* "Small particles of light were spreading across this dirt field you have here-"

  Nancy: "Make it quick!"

  Twortz: "The light can manifest into what you've seen."

  Wendy: "Those flowers.. Is it possible they were light?"

  Cameron: "By the Astragon laws, it is possible-" (Although, very hard to fathom.)

  Twortz: "One thing I noticed, is that the light, they are really sensitive to my Neurons."

  Nancy: "You make no sense, how can your own ability be sensitive to your own Neurons?"

  Twortz: "Think of it as a detonation perhaps?"

  Nancy: *She lunged forward, readying to stab Twortz in the side of the head with the sceptre.* "Die!"

  Twortz: "Negative." *She gently placed her hand on Nancy's chest and concentrated.* "Didn't anyone tell you? Not to mess with the people who make your food?"

  Nancy: "Bwoho!" *She laughed and watched the sceptre about to touch the side of Twortz's head, before exploding into several pieces.*

  Wendy: "Gee-?!" *She jumped in fright, watching Nancy's arm spiral in the air.*

  Mindy: *She looked surprised.* "H-Huh?"

  Sofia: "Haheahe. Game over." *She smirked evil-like, staring at Nancy's severed body parts which had scattered around Twortz.*

  Cameron: "I see. She purposely allowed her Ougi to burst against the lightning, causing Nancy to inhale some of the light."

  Kath: (Such power, intelligence, form-) *She suddenly appeared in front of Twortz with a smile.*

  Twortz: *She dropped to her knees due to exhaustion.* "Am I safe to assume you're the Consultant?"

  Kath: "Indeed I am." *She pushed her glasses up with one finger.*

  Twortz: "I am sorry and happy for you at the same time."

  Kath: "Explain."

  Twortz: "I'm sorry you lost your captain, but I'm happy you gained a better one."

  Kath: *She chuckled with a widening smile, thinning out her lips.* "What is your name?"

  Twortz: "Twortz Montana, your loyal captain starting from this day out."

  Kath: *She touched her glasses and hid her smile.* "What makes you think you're a captain?"
