Edward The Bison

A single sound of bones breaking was heard. Out of nowhere, there he stood. Fist dug deep into Oswald's ribcage, Pulling it back out, Oswald fell on his back. "Raven!" Grabbing me into his hands, he yells at me. but since I'm paralyzed again, I can't do anything but roll my eyes.

"Don't tell me you were cursed as well! I promise to take care of you whether you're a vegetable or not!" Finally feeling my body, I slap him away yelling. "No time! Theresa fell into the river wounded!"

Just throwing my cane to the ground, he jumps straight into the river and dives for Theresa.

Picking up my cane I think, Wait does he even know who this Theresa is?

Being brought out by an insect-like clicking next to me, I see Oswald. Even though his chest was crushed, he stands up. His head shakes and cracks like crazy. Grabbing his head he pushes it back to its original place.

"I-" Of course I wasn't just looking around. Running at him, I swing my cane into his side, like I'm a lumberjack. Pulling it out, I strike again and chip away a huge part of his flesh.

Raylling back, I bring my cane back into Oswald's body. Hitting his spine, I pull back and swing only to get stopped by a sword. "Do you think I'm some tree?" I hear him say.

Nodding my head, I hit him again. This time in his spider legs. Cutting it off like a branch. He stumbles back while starting to lose his stability.

*Splash* As Water splashes into the air, I see Edward pull Theresa out of the water.

Smiling, I Wave at him only to get pushed off the sinking boat. Spotting a huge amount of containers in the water, I aim for a small crack between them. Landing in the water I swim up and climb onto the floating containers.

Jumping to me, Edward helps me get out of the cold river.

"Come here, we can leave, we did what we wanted." Landing on a nearby container, I hear. "No! You aren't going anywhere!" Dripping ink from his wound. I yell. "What are you?! A Fucking squid?!"

Reaching for his wound he just laughs. "This? no, no, no. This is my shadow energy, proof of my devotion!" Pulling a silver mask out of his robe, he screams.

"I give you everything I have! Shadow Swallows!" Putting it on, the color from his body begins to be pulled into the air before it completely disappears. I feel all the colors of the surrounding world drained along with it.

*Tick* A black and white explosion, covers the area. Opening my eyes I find myself on a black and white scene. The water wobbles the containers, Turnign to Edward, I see all color drained from his face.

"We're colorless..." Looking into the distance, I see an abnormal scene, I see colorful buildings and the riverbanks but..... a circle in the middle of the river is left drained of color.

At the center of it, I backburned Oswald stands, the only thing that has any color left is the now colorful mask he's wearing. Snapping his head in our direction, I ask Edward if he still thinks that's Oswald.

"It has a physical body, doesn't it? As long as I can punch it, I will win." Jumping from our container towards the dark abomination. I hear the police sirens on the shore and boats start to clean up the wreckage so they can get to us.

Yelling over the megaphone something, I just think that it's like we've been cut off from the outside world. Getting on my two feet, I look into the river. Noting...

Taking another step, I bump into something. "Theresa!" Instead of her white uniform, her body is completely gray. "Theresa! Shaking with her, I listen if there's any breathing, only for her to cough out the water straight into my ear.

"GOD! That's disgusting!" Shaking it all out of my ear, I see her cough out more colorless water. "You good?" Rubbing her back, I stop as I notice that all her injuries are gone.

Now giving a good look at mine, I notice that they're gone, or at least as if someone painted over them. Rubbing the darker parts of my skin where my wounds used to be, I feel the texture of a scar.

only to suddenly see the color reach part of our container.

.............

As Edwraed landed on the container, he approached the shadow. "Edward, so you're the guy we shot instead of Raven." Turning to him, Oswald's spide-like features disappear on his human parts. Clicking its legs the monster turns to Edward. "I'm going to kill you and afterward, I'm going to eat the bastard alive."

Stomping its feet on the ground, Oswald jumps at Edward.

Catching his two hands, Edward kicks into Oswald only for his leg to push straight into his body. Confused he looks at what he's been holding only to see that the shady hands are still there.

"Don't think about it too much, it's a double standard to make a fight more fair."

Headbutting Edward, Oswald stumbles a bit as he holds his head. "That... hurt?" Looking at Edward he rips off another leg and turns it into a great sword. Not letting himself be outdone. Edward rips off the container's door and uses it as a shield.

Putting it over his head, the great sword slams into it and bends the metal. Cutting Edward's arm, Oswald laughs like a maniac.

Taking a knee, Edward begins to struggle against the pressure. "Edward!" Sliding under the container is Raven. With a stomp of his foot, two large ice pillars support the container's door.

"Edward, tell me the whole fight from start to now, right now." Telling me how they talked kicked and then shared headbutts, I stop him.

"His mask! It lost color! maybe if we hit ti color leak back from it!" Nodding his head, Edward and I plan to strike him, only for our improvised bunker to get shredded. "Come out! The big bad wolf is here you little piggies!"

Both running from different sides, Edward jumps first to hit punch his body, only for his arm to go through. "See? You can't harm me." Proceeding to grab Edwards's hand he raises the great sword to cut him in half. Edward tries to pull his hand away while glancing at the giant sword.

*CINK!* The sound of metal clashing echoes across, as Raven's cane made contact with the mask.

Covering his face, with his shadowy hands, I can clearly see the black and white area get smaller. "It's true!" Screaming in a high-pitched voice, I cover my ears.

Even the river shakes in reaction to the scream, Taking a step closer, Oswald turns to me and screams with all his might at me. I can feel it, Insdie m head something is shaking, MY vision starts to turn gray, as gray liquid pours out of my eyes.

Taking another, step, Oswald takes a deep breath and screams even louder. Feeling something pop in my ears and eyes, I push my leg forward not even being able to lift it.

Being so close that I can feel, Oswald takes a breath and I get a tiny bit closer.

*Pop* Feeling something warm pour out of my ears, the world goes silent. letting go of my ears, I pull a Shadow medium out of my clothes."

"Recognize this?!" Desiring to pull the shadow to my hand, my hand gets a firm grip on Oswald's neck. "Shadow swallows! Right?!" Pushing the amulet into Oswald's face, his weak state doesn't allow him to fight anymore.

And not before long his entire face gets wrapped around my arm. Grabbing the mask, I yell.

"Release!"

*BANG!* Large explosion of colors sends everything back. Everything back, what before was just a color on my skin turned into my wounds. Meanwhile, Edward's cut turned into red paint on his arm.

But others had it worse. Theresa left the colorless zone and swam to the cops. While in the middle of giving her report, she suddenly explodes with wounded and blood. Falling to the floor unconscious from the other shock. Paramedics run to her aid.

Taking my cane off the metal container, I watch as paramedics surrounded Theresa.

"Let's go Raven." Feeling Edwards's hand on my shoulder, I nod. "We did all we could, By the way. Why did you jump into the water for Theresa even though you don't know her?"

Smiling, Edward says. "I saw it on your face, you were genuinely worried for her, so I jumped." Looking at him as if he was crazy, he continues. "Raven, your friends are my friends as well, I want you to know that."

Smirking, I wrap my hand around Edward.

"I'm glad you agree Raven-"

"I'm just hugging because I'm about to fall over so can we leave?"

Sighing loudly, Edward picks up my cane, and we run off into the slums.
