| Prodigi vs Sephiroth X - Midgar |
| Sephiroth X- Are you sure about this? *Sephiroth X asked, sliding the Masamune out of its sheath a few inches. Prodigi- I will be. *Prodigi watched as Sephiroth X slowly drew the Masamune from its sheath while gripping his own sword. Prodigi stared at X�s fabled blade momentarily as it came to X�s side, and as X went into his battle stance quickly spun around and un holstered one of his Desert Eagles. As he completed his spin back to facing X he pointed the gun forward and fired directly at Sephiroth X. The bang echoed through the gym immediately followed by a loud �PING� noise. As smoke streamed from the barrel of Prodigi�s pistol the Masamune was held across X�s body deflecting the bullet away. Both fighters stayed in those poses momentarily when three more shots were fired from Prodigi�s pistol, all of which were deflected again by Sephiroth X. Prodigi- Not bad� *This time Prodigi shot four bullets towards the appendages of Sephiroth X in a spread formation. Within one twirl of the Masamune though, all four bullets deflected in separate directions� one zinged right past Bax and Zack, who cautiously stepped into a slightly even safer position. Sephiroth X�s eyes focused directly at Prodigi�s. Sephiroth X- �You�re empty� would you care to try some more? *Prodigi looked at his gun momentarily� X was right� empty Prodigi- Thank you� *Prodigi then tossed his empty Desert Eagle aside, and un-holstered his other gun and tossed it next to his empty one. Prodigi- �But obviously wasting bullets seems pointless� *Prodigi gripped one hand around his curved sword and slowly brought it up into his attack stance. From a safe area, Zack saw Prodigi unsheathe his sword and realized that he carried Prodigi�s other sword with him. Bax looked at Zack as the boy stared Prodigi�s second sword briefly, and Zack himself slipped into thought momentarily. Zack- Erg� for the sake of fairness� HEY PRODIGI! *Both X and Prodigi looked down at Zack quickly as Zack hurled the other curved blade up to Prodigi. The sword flew in a boomerang fashion and Prodigi stuck his free hand up into the air as the swords handle almost instinctively slipped perfectly into its master�s hand. Prodigi- I was wondering if anybody had found this thing� *Sephiroth X looked down at Zack momentarily� Sephiroth X- That kid is way too trusting considering what�s gone on lately� *Prodigi held both his swords in his hand as he quickly reoriented himself to having both of his weapons again. He then held both blades battle ready and then stared at X again. As both fighters stood there an eerie moment of silence took over the gym, the calm before the storm. *Prodigi then dashed at and swung both swords downward. X quickly blocked with the Masamune, both of Prodigi�s swords curved around the Masamune�s blade and the tips of them were inches from X�s face. X pushed the Masamune upwards and forced Prodigi�s arms up into the air, with an extra surge of force X pushed Prodigi back a few steps and quickly spun and kicked Prodigi directly in the mid section. Prodigi staggered backwards from the kick and quickly regained himself as he dashed at X again. This time Prodigi extended both of his arms outwards and used his swords to attack from opposite directions, one sword coming down from left to right and the other coming upwards from right to left. Sephiroth X slashed the Masamune at Prodigi�s left sword, the one going downwards right to left, the momentum of Prodigi�s own slash tied in with the Masamune forced Prodigi�s attack to over-swing and the blade swung passed X too early and Prodigi lost his balance and began to fall down. During the fall however Prodigi continued spinning and as he spun his second blade came slashing around and managed to slice a little bit of the skin of X�s leg. *X stepped back and cringed slightly from the cut. Nothing more then a flesh wound though, a really severe paper cut was about all it was. Prodigi quickly got up and hurled one of his swords at Sephiroth X� but the sword missed way far left of X� Prodigi immediately following the throw dashed at X and swung his remaining sword at his adversary, and his sword locked up with the Masamune. Both swordsmen put out enough force to cancel each others out so they stood at a standstill momentarily, then X saw Prodigi smirk suddenly as X heard a boomerang like sound come up from behind him. Sephiroth X didn�t even look to see what gave off the sound since he already determined what it was, Prodigi�s sword looping back to its master in that boomerang like style. X just instinctively pivoted enough to were Prodigi�s sword caught the metal of X�s shoulder guard. The collision created a huge spark right on X�s shoulder as X continued his pivot and the sword lost momentum and fell to the ground. As X pivoted 360 degrees he quickly swooped down and leg swept Prodigi sending his foe falling to the ground on his back. Prodigi immediately sprung back up to his feet just as X completed his spin upwards. Both fighters met and clashed blades upon standing up. Prodigi quickly stepped back and lunged forward at X with the sword in his right hand, X immediately side stepped to Prodigi�s left and easily avoided the lunge. As Prodigi zipped past X, X emphatically lifted his right knee catching Prodigi square under his jaw. Prodigi�s body curled around X�s knee and leg momentarily and then slammed to the ground directly beneath as Prodigi�s head smacked the floor with a sickening thud. X quickly freed one hand from the Masamune and drove it down at Prodigi�s chest. Barely seeing the attack coming, Prodigi rolled out of the way and X�s hand slammed onto the ground loudly. Prodigi sprung to his feet and wobbled momentarily, then raised both swords into the air and prepared to drive them down at X. Sephiroth X sucked in the pain from his fist while he held the Masamune with both hands again as Prodigi�s attack came downward. Just as Prodigi�s sword was drawing near X, X quickly stood up and slashed the Masamune in an upper right to lower left direction with the tip of the blade gashing across Prodigi�s skin. *Zack gasped quietly as he saw X�s attack connect before Prodigi�s. Prodigi himself aborted his attack as X connected with his, and the black trench coated fighter stepped back and cringed in minute pain as he looked down to see the extent of the attacks damage. Part of his coat was slashed apart as the attack itself sliced about a half inch or so into Prodigi�s own skin. Sephiroth X stood there in his follow-through position observing Prodigi�s movements. Prodigi slipped off of his trench coat revealing the large torso crossing wound, and Prodigi smirked as he continued to look down at the wound. Then both fighters observed as the gash slowly healed up and closed. X�s eyes followed the healing skin until its completion. Sephiroth X- �Figures *Prodigi looked back up at X again after the wound healed. Prodigi- Apparently both of our weapons are very much useless in this battle� Sephiroth X- Give me another open chance like that one� And I�ll prove otherwise� *Prodigi lifted his swords momentarily and threw them down to the ground on both sides of them. The tips stuck onto the floor. Then Prodigi stood there in a semi martial arts like stance. Prodigi- I want to see how good you are without that thing� *Sephiroth X smirked, and then stabbed the Masamune into the ground beside him as well. For now he would play Prodigi�s game and fight him hand to hand. Prodigi- I assume that�s your way of saying you�re game� *X�s body slowly motioned into a modified tae kwon do stance, and X slowly extended one arm out and, with his hand, gave Prodigi the �bring it� gesture. *Prodigi came at X and punched with his right hand. X quickly blocked and pushed the arm out of his way and quickly blocked a left chop from Prodigi. X shin kicked at the side of Prodigi�s mid section, and Prodigi blocked with his left arm. Pushing with his left arm, Prodigi pushed X�s leg back and spun X around 360 degrees but as X finished the spin he came around with a left fist that Prodigi quickly deflected away. Doing so left X�s torso exposed and Prodigi took advantage, he quickly thrust kicked at X�s chest sending the silver haired fighter flying a couple yards back slamming into the ground. Sephiroth X reverse somersaulted back onto his feet and charged back at Prodigi. Preemptively Prodigi side stepped and raised his knee, but X quickly halted his own momentum and grabbed Prodigi�s leg which followed with tripping up Prodigi�s other leg sending him falling to the ground. X held on to Prodigi�s other leg though and spun around and threw Prodigi into the air. Prodigi quickly regained himself in time as he saw himself flying up at one of the steal beam rafters. Prodigi shot out his hands and grabbed onto the steal and briefly perched on the rafter as he refocused himself on X. With all of his leg strength Prodigi shot like a bullet down towards X again and readied a fist with one of his hands. X leapt up into the air towards Prodigi, and X readied a fist of his own for his opponent. The two then met in mid air and both threw their fists at each other and connected in identical spots on each others jaws. The energy from each blast shot them in opposite directions from each other, X smacked into a railing that prevented him from falling down to the lower floor and Prodigi landed near his own swords. *Blood trickled down from the side of X�s mouth, and a large bruise was already visible on Prodigi�s face. The impact of slamming into the metal rails gave an added dose of pain that kept X on the ground longer then Prodigi. Seeing a huge opportunity in sight, Prodigi determined that he should seize the fact that he can use his swords again while X is far from his Masamune. So Prodigi quickly reached down and grabbed his swords and dashed at X. The sound of the swords being pulled from the concrete told X what was happening, and his eyes quickly refocused as he saw Prodigi dashing closer and closer holding his swords ready to strike. Sephiroth X- I know this battle is meaningless� but he�s starting to go all out� and I don�t like losing� *X�s green eyes flared briefly as X�s adrenaline gave him energy for one last bit of effort. X with both hands grabbed the top rail just before Prodigi reached him, and flipped himself over the railing holding on tightly. Just as X flipped, his feet caught Prodigi square under the jaw sending him flipping over with his head slamming into the ground once more. X flipped all the way over the rail and as he held on for too long his body slammed into the side of the upper floor fiercely, the force of the slam jarred X�s hands from the metal rail and he fell down and landed on the basket ball court wooden floor below. Both Zack and Bax sprinted over to check on X, who was lying on the ground almost unconscious. Bax- You alright? Zack- Seph!!? *Both could hear X�s voice speak out semi faintly. Sephiroth X- Is� he� out? *Bax quickly stood up and backpedaled a few yards just enough so he could see Prodigi, who was lying motionless on the floor above face-down. Bax looked to Zack and nodded yes. Zack- Yeah� Bax says he�s out cold. *X with his own strength slowly brought himself back to his feet as he staggered briefly. A small trickle of blood remained along the side of his mouth and a scrape was visible on his forehead, probably from the slam into the side of the floor moments ago. X slowly stepped to the stairway that led back up to second floor and both Zack and Bax followed behind him. As the three came back to the site of the fight Prodigi still lied on the ground motionless, this time the blows to the head that X delivered were enough to put him out. X walked to the Masamune and slowly pulled it from the floor, and then walked to Prodigi. X stood above Prodigi for a few moments and watched as Prodigi slowly began moving again as he regained consciousness. Prodigi rolled over and looked upwards, and saw the tip of the Masamune millimeters from his neck. He followed the blade upwards and saw X standing looking down at him. --- --- --- Winner- Sephiroth X --- --- --- Prodigi- �Im� Impressive� *Sephiroth X smirked, he respected Prodigi as a fighter now� but didn�t find full trust in him yet. Sephiroth X- You fight well� *Listening to X�s words and then slipped back into a semi-sleep/unconscious state. Presumably resting from the battle in his own unique way. Sephiroth X- Take him and put him in my room� he�ll need a little bit of time to recover� Bax- Alright, no problem. *Bax lifted Prodigi over his shoulder then started walking to the bedrooms� then stopped and looked at X. Bax- Which one�? *X pointed the Masamune towards his room, and Bax took Prodigi to it. Zack however walked up to X as he lowered the Masamune. Zack- Why� your room? *X slowly looked towards Zack. Sephiroth X- Because I will not need it any longer. Zack- What? Sephiroth X- I will be leaving shortly after I recover� Before Prodigi wakes up again. Zack- But why!?! I mean� we all just met up again and� and� we make a good team! *X looked away from Zack, and out one of the windows showing the dreary Midgar weather. Sephiroth X- I realize what I must do now� Where it will take me I do not know� All I can say is it will take me to dark places too dangerous for any of you� I only know it is what I must do� Zack- What must you do�? Sephiroth X- Find him� Dark Crono... *Both Zack and X remained silent momentarily. Sephiroth X- I will remain here a little while longer, there are a couple things I must complete regarding your training� But after that I will be gone� I don�t know for how long� And Zack, do not follow me when I leave. Your life will be in supreme danger if you do, so much danger that neither Bax or myself could protect you� *Zack remained silent� X was a type of role model for him and didn�t want him to go. Zack- I�ll go help Bax with Prodigi now� *Zack walked towards X�s room were Bax was lying down Prodigi. *Sephiroth X however stayed standing in his place, looking outwards through the window. He didn�t want to lie to Zack� but he had to. Sephiroth X knew were his quest would take him first, and he knew telling Zack or Bax would put them in immediate danger� Sephiroth X- My quest will focus on and end with Dark Crono� But it will start with Valtiel... |
