Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  Tara: "What's so funny?"

  Season: "You rendered me motionless, but have you ever seen a full-fledged Rostical User, like myself, running while attacking?"

  Tara: "What do you mean?" *She looked at Season in confusion and rubbed the whip on her leather pants, wiping blood off of it.*

  ----------

  Tyler: *He stared at Twortz in shock.* (Her weapon was concealed-?) *He shook his head.* (That's right, she's a captain.)

  PKMY: "Wat?" *She whispered on her breath, staring at Twortz in confusion.*

  Twortz: *She held a violin in one hand, pointing a small dagger at PKMY in the other.* "Since this air is somehow visible, then this won't matter."

  PKMY: "What kind of weapon is that?"

  Twortz: "Something perfect for me." *She slowly placed the dagger on the strings and looked at PKMY with a smirk.*

  PKMY: "A violin? For a weapon-?"

  Twortz: *She moved the dagger and played a few strings, causing streams of sound to pierce the air at blinding speeds.*

  PKMY: "Kah-" *She arched forward and coughed up blood, as the walls exploded behind her.* "W-Wh-?"

  Tyler: *He gasped with fear.* (That... Was almost instant!)

  Twortz: "My weapon channels sound waves by absorbing the Astragons in the air."

  PKMY: "W-W-W-?" *She struggled to breathe, coughing up more blood.*

  Twortz: "It also means, as the sound waves move through the air, absorbing the Astragons, it makes it more faster and powerful."

  Tyler: (That would mean-)

  Twortz: "The further away you are, the stronger my attacks will become."

  PKMY: (Once again, there's no point in releasing my weapon-) *She gritted her teeth and stood up straight, holding her stomach.* (It's unfavoured in this type of battle.)

  Twortz: "After all this time, I will finally be able to avenge you, Rach." *She looked up, speaking to the roof.*

  PKMY: "Rach? What is this you accuse me of?!"

  Twortz: *She shook her head in disbelief, as she kept her focus on to the roof.* "Even at a young age, children are raised to be more respective to single digit warriors."

  PKMY: *Twortz's words triggered flashbacks of shoving her fist into Rachael's chest.* "I-I remember now."

  Twortz: *She looked down, staring at PKMY with watering eyes.* "You murderer."

  PKMY: "I-I'm not like that anymore-"

  Twortz: "Save it! I'm tired of talking." *She raised the violin, resting it on her shoulder.*

  PKMY: (I'm not like that anymore.) *She shook her head, looking down to the ground.* (But I can't afford to lose either.)

  Tyler: (So, does that mean PKMY really did kill Rach?)

  Twortz: *She rested her head against the violin, glaring at PKMY with killing intent.* (The Consultant favoured my ability to anyone else.)

  PKMY: (I can sense her Neurons and Astragons gathering around her. She intends to kill me.) *She closed her eyes and her hair started to move, as gusts of wind swirled around the room.* "I haven't gone all out in awhile either."

  Twortz: "Oh?" *She spoke as if she didn't care, admiring her violin.*

  PKMY: (I want to conserve my Ougi for the Consultant. I have a feeling this fight might be watched.) *She opened her eyes, as green sways of wind moved around her.*

  Twortz: "Shall we dance?"

  PKMY: "Won't the dagger cut the strings?"

  Twortz: "They didn't before?" *She placed the dagger on the strings and started to sway her body.*

  PKMY: "True."

  Twortz: "Let's see your dance moves." *She started to play the violin and visible strings of sound echoed, blasting towards PKMY.*

  PKMY: (To think, having to get serious this early in the fight-) *She stepped forward, flashstepping past several sound strings.*

  Tyler: *He watched the strings tap the wall and released a beautiful violin sound, before exploding the rock.* (Visible sound waves... These girls are absolutely powerful.) *He mumbled to himself, helplessly staring at Twortz and PKMY.*

  Twortz: *She casually spun around, listening to the beautiful violin sounds.* (One thing I forgot to mention to her, these are unblockable, as they strike through flesh.)

  PKMY: *She flashstepped to the side several times, watching the strings barely pierce past her face.* (Even at this level, I'm only able to just avoid these attacks.)

  Twortz: *She glanced at PKMY, focusing her attention back to playing.* (Those unblockable strings are almost shooting into her face.)

  PKMY: *She continued to flashstep, barely avoiding the strings.* (I won't be able to keep this up.)

  Tyler: *He watched PKMY's image appear and disappear in amazement.* (I can't tell from here if Twortz's attacks are hitting PKMY.)

  PKMY: *She looked flustered, flashstepping to each side, avoiding the strings.* (I'm almost at my limit-)

  Twortz: (Nearly, I can feel her Neurons weakening.)

  Tyler: (What do you do when two of your friends are fighting?) *He whimpered in thought and awkwardly crawled on the floor, hovering over Holland.*

  PKMY: *She sighed in exhaustion, jumping out of her flashstep.* (I can't flashstep any more!)

  Twortz: (As childish as this seems, I want to savour this fight as much as I can.) *Her thoughts implied she could have already killed PKMY, as more visible sound waves echoed from her violin.*

  PKMY: *She started to run along the walls, causing more strings to pierce towards her.* (There's more?)

  Tyler: *He looked up, noticing the strings slightly miss her.* (Huh? The strings are losing their accuracy?)

  Twortz: (Looks like she isn't able to flashstep any more.) *She continued to play, watching the strings awkwardly miss PKMY.*

  PKMY: *She continued to run around the room, watching the strings hit the wall further behind her.* (Is she missing me on purpose so I'll lower my guard?)

  Twortz: *She danced in the middle of the room, continuously playing the violin.* (As I feared! I just have to play faster then!)

  PKMY: *She grunted in pain, as blood dripped from her ears.* (How can I get close to deal a finishing blow?)

  Twortz: *She started to play faster, causing a sudden blast of strings to pierce towards PKMY.* (If worse comes to worse, I'll have to use that technique.)

  PKMY: *She glanced at Twortz with blurred vision in one eye, causing her to close it.* (More Roharnia strings come out the faster she plays!) *She flipped and somersaulted, watching the strings pierce around her arms, head and in between her legs.*

  Twortz: "The music is beautiful, isn't it?" *She stared at multiple cracks in the wall, listening to the violin's echoing serenity.*

  PKMY: "I'm not into girly things!" *She landed on the ground, rolling in an evasive-like manner.*

  Tyler: (Wow, I've never seen someone move like that before-)

  Twortz: *She looked annoyed and stopped dancing, causing the strings to stop in the air.* "Something has been on my mind, and I'll regret not asking before I kill you."

  PKMY: *She quickly jumped over a string and awkwardly landed, causing her arm to crack.* "Argh-" *She tumbled to the side, glaring at Twortz with her one opened eye.*

  Twortz: "What you said before.."

  PKMY: *She took a deep breath, covering one eye in fatigue.* "W-What?!" *She struggled to talk, taking the opportunity to catch her breath.*

  Twortz: "Why do you say you changed? Are you that afraid of death?" *She spoke with authority, as the strings slowly swirled around the violin.*

  PKMY: "Wat?"

  Twortz: "Are you afraid of dying?"

  PKMY: "No."

  Twortz: "I see." *She lowered the violin, causing the strings to suddenly disappear.*

  Tyler: (Please, Twortz! Just stop this madness!-)

  Twortz: (Mixing scores and dances drain my energy really fast.) *She whispered in thought, showing no sign of fatigue.*

  PKMY: "Why have you stopped attacking-?"

  Twortz: "For a number two, you're not very impressive."

  PKMY: "Tssk." *She frowned, giving Twortz
evil-like looks.*

  Twortz: *She sighed, spreading her legs.* "At least you weren't a mindless, blood hungry, animal, I've encountered through my journeys."

  PKMY: "..."

  Twortz: "And, I haven't stopped attacking. Even at my ranking, I'm unable to use these techniques at the same time without suffering the risk of Neuron damage."

  PKMY: "W-Wat-?" *Terror filled her face.* (That means!-)

  Twortz: "Ougi."

  Tyler: *He gasped, ignoring strings of blood which ran down his face from his ears.* "Twortz, don't!"

  PKMY: "If I could change what I did in the past, I would!"

  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.*

  PKMY: *She panted and lowered her arm, slowly opening her eye.* (Why am I the one that gets stuck with long-range attackers-?)

  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.*

  PKMY: *She stared at the petals with widening eyes.* (The sheer Neuron power in those petals are enough to blow up this entire castle!)

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

  Tyler: (That Ougi is remarkably similar to Trinity and Infinity's from Battling Oxident-)

  Twortz: *She exhaled, accidentally slipping the dagger on a string.* "Oops-"

  *A stream of aurora petals splashed in front, rippling towards PKMY.*

  PKMY: "Shit-" *She jumped forward and gasped, watching the petals hit her leg.* "Argh!" *She screamed, listening to her bones crack several times.*

  Twortz: (I accidentally released some power?)

  PKMY: *She wheezed, sliding along the ground in pain.* (Dirty Lamp!)

  Tyler: *He felt the ground vibrate, looking at PKMY in shock.* (That wasn't even the attack!)

  PKMY: *She leant up and looked at her leg, frowning in pain.* (That attack broke my leg in three different places!)

  Twortz: "Sorry about the wait, I need to gather the correct amount of Neurons and Astragons, or this will explode like a bomb."

  Tyler: *He started to shake in fear.* (I don't know what to do? I don't know what to do!)

  PKMY: *She lay on her side, watching her blood stream in between the cracks on the ground.* (Shit, is this it?) *She thought to herself with lowering morale, as if she was getting ready to give up.*

  ----------

  Tara: "What has you being a full-fledged Remenistal User got to do with you running?" *She tapped her fingers on the whip's handle in a confident-like manner.*

  Season: "What I'm saying is, I don't need to move-"

  Tara: *She paused.* (When I think about it, he's right!-) *She gasped with widening eyes and realisation, quickly flicking the whip high into the air.*

  Season: "How's this for a Rostical combo?"

  Tara: *She enthusiastically swung her arm downwards, whooshing the whip towards Season.* "Die!"

  Season: "HEAT LANCE" *He pushed forward, blasting two curve-shaped fire lances in front.*

  Tara: *She watched the fire lances hit the whip and explode, knocking the whip back.* "Harh?" *She leant back, as her arm bent over her shoulder.* "Th-That was weak!"

  Season: (It wasn't boosted-) "GLACIA'S EDGE"

  *A chair sized pillar of ice rose up and hit Tara on the legs, causing her to lose her balance.*

  Tara: *She stepped back, trying not to fall over.* "Harh-"

  Season: "Powers of the deep blue, beat and skip through the winds, WATER'S PULSE" *He pointed at Tara and a ring of water appeared in front of his hand.*

  Tara: "Water Pulse? That isn't a Rostical I've heard before-?" *She grunted at Season, watching a thick ring of water materialise directly in front of her.*

  Season: (Neurons, expand!) *He swayed his hand, causing the ring to explode a pulse of water, knocking Tara off her feet.*

  Tara: "Blargh." *She squinted her eyes, spitting out water.* (That was almost instant!-)

  Season: "Powers of the never ending red, beat and skip through the winds, FIRE'S PULSE" *He pointed at Tara, watching a ring of fire appear in front of his hand.*

  Tara: "How dare you-" *She shouted, watching a large ring of fire suddenly swirl in front of her.*

  Season: "Powers of the relaxing green, beat and skip through the winds-"

  Tara: "Arh-" *Her face lit up, as the fire burst, knocking her up into the air.* (How insulting!) *Tara swayed her arm to the side, blowing the splintering flames away from her.*

  Season: *He pointed up at Tara, watching a warped ring of wind appear in front of his hand.* "WIND'S PULSE"

  *Season watched a ring of wind appear in front of Tara and exploded, knocking her further into the air.*

  Tara: *She looked down at Season, as her ponytail and whip flicked in the air.* "That dirty lamp." *She grunted to herself.* (That's three attacks I've allowed him to hit on me.)

  Season: "Powers of the proud brown, beat and skip through the winds, GRAVEL'S PULSE" *A small ring of rocks formed and spiralled around his hand, suddenly appearing in front of Tara.*

  Tara: "N-No." *The rocks crumbled to dust and burst in her face, causing her to cough.*

  Season: *He stood up, causing his knees to buckle.* "LIGHTNING SLICE" *He raised his arm and a spear of lightning sparked in between his fingers.*

  Tara: *She fell to the ground, wiping dirt off her face.* "Stupid-" *She landed on her knees, glaring at the lightning flash around Season's hand.*

  Season: (That combo should have weakened her to an extent-)

  Tara: "You think I didn't come prepared?" *She straightened her legs and readied herself, sprinting towards Season.* (This fight will not be one sided!)

  Season: (She's able to get up without any rest-?) *He threw his arm forward, watching a stream of lightning curve in the air towards Tara.*

  Tara: *She spiralled her body and whipped the lightning, breaking its stream.* "Humph." *She leapt forward and flicked her hand, slicing the whip across Season's arm.*

  Season: "Ah-" *He grunted in pain and watched, as pieces of robe tore off his arm, floating away in the hot air.*

  Tara: *She firmly held the whip, as a thin layer of sweat accumulated on her face.* "Humph."

  Season: "Grand Rostical!-"

  Tara: "Grand, I don't care!" *She swung her arm, causing the whip to instantly wrap itself around Season's neck.*
