A Final Clash!! Sky Splitter VS Breath of Death!!

Bahrny started chuckling. "The strong get to live freely while the weak must follow." He said.

Angrily Sky threw his sword at him. Without batting an eye Bahrny grabbed Lucy's body and pulled it in front of him, allowing the sword to be buried in her before tossing her to the side.

A cold chill ran through Sky's body as he ran up to where Lucy's body was lying. He picked up her head and rested it in his lap as she began to slowly fade away. Slowly, her hand rose until it touched Sky's cheek and made its way to his hair ruffling it a bit. Sky stared into her eyes, they were void, unable to recognize him even though tears trickled out. Her body was moving on its own with no consciousness, Sky realized, holding her until only it was his blade left in his lap.

"How could you do that to your beloved Lucy?" Bahrny smiled.

"That's not Lucy…" Sky said.

"How can you smile like that when you leave dozens to die?!" Sky hissed.

"How dare you force these souls to fight when it pains them to do so?!" Sky continued, grabbing his sword, "What are you? A coward!!!"

The words rang in Bahrny's ears. "That's something only a coward would do…" He remembered the phrase.

"Everything we do Bahrnes, it's to protect these people." Lucas smiled.

"The reason we train so hard everyday, we mentor the young, help the old… it's to strengthen us and the people around us." He continued.

"But if we focus on ourselves we can become stronger than the rest, we can defeat them!" a young Bahrny fought back.

"Bahrnes… sacrificing others for their own gain is something only a scared coward would do…" Lucas turned to him.

"While we're here, we're going to help everyone, leave a legacy, so that even after we pass away, we'll continue to grow stronger," He let a huge grin erupt on his face, "And one day, together, with a giant army we'll march right up to the doors of the giants and defeat them!"

"Listen you shiny shit!" Bahrny hissed back, "If I don't then we'll all die!!!"

"If you tried to protect people then they'd all live!!!" Sky shouted back.

A look of annoyance flashed on Bahrny's face. "That's it, I'm killing you." He said as he grabbed his sword.

A strong force pushed against Sky, dragging him backwards until he was once again in front of the throne. Still, he stood his ground firmly as the heroes to his right disappeared. Suddenly a barrage of attacks started, from all angles Sky was being stabbed, sliced at, hammered, kicked and punched. Going full defensive, Sky was able to avoid most of the attacks as a few still found their way in. The eleven heroes had trapped Sky in a circle of constant attacks. Every few seconds he was hit out, only to be pulled back in.

Suddenly the attacks stopped as Sky was barely able to stand. The heroes pulled away and formed a larger circle. Sky eyes slowly drifted upwards as he sensed an immense pressure. As fast as he could he pulled his sword in front of him.

TWIIIIINGG!!! The sharp sound echoed throughout the arena, cutting through the cheers and roars. Sky had barely brought the blade up before Bahrny slammed into him. The attack didn't stop there as Bahrny effortlessly swung the sword around, each time striking Sky's blade harder than the last. Sky could feel him getting faster and faster.

It had gotten to the point where Sky had to swing his sword up after each blow, barely able to block it when a hard swing buckled Sky's legs. Immediately after another swing followed, sending Sky flying backwards. Before he could hit the wall, Bahrny appeared below him, flipping his blade around and slamming it's pommel into Sky's back, driving it in as far as he could, sending Sky flying upwards into the air.

Sky's body twisted and turned lifelessly as he struggled to keep consciousness. Eventually it stopped flying upwards giving him a brief moment to pause which seemed like hours. A cool gust of wind blew through his hair, bringing him slight relief. With one last effort Sky opened his eyes and brought back the cloak, deciding that this would be his last attack, no matter the time.

As he fell he concentrated as hard as he could onto the blade, allowing the cloak to envelope only it, creating strong bolts of lightning that ricocheted off clouds as he fell. He pulled the blade to his side, grabbing the grip with both hands. He could see Bahrny turning the heroes back into black mist that he collected in his hands and concentrated. He pulled it back near his head and twisted his body waiting for Sky to get closer.

As Sky grew closer and closer to the ground he could feel himself picking up speed as lightning started dancing in front of his face.

"AAAAHHHH!!!" He shouted as he entered the area above the arena.

"BREATH OF DEATH!!!" Bahrny shouted as he unleashed the black mist in a powerful, concentrated beam surging towards Sky.

Sky brought his blade above his head and swiped downwards. "Sky Splitter!!!!" He shouted.

KRRRRRSSSSSHHHH!!!!! Sky's lightning-filled blade collided against the cloud of black, pushing it back further and further, cutting through it until he could see Bahrny's face.

As Sky approached Bahrny, he saw him lower his blade and upon cutting through the mist, Bahrny swiped upwards, stopping his forwards advance.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!" The two shouted as their blades collided.

A circle of black smoke started developing around Bahrny's feet as the lightning dancing in front of Sky's face intensified. The black smoke started climbing its way up Bahrny's leg and entering the blade. Sky pushed harder and harder, giving it everything he had, watching as the sand around Bahrny's legs started caving, creating a large hole that was sinking with every second.

A little more, Sky thought, if he could push a little more then it'd be over. He started pushing harder and harder, making the hole bigger and bigger with the pressure.

"IIIII WIIIIIILLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOT LOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bahrny suddenly shouted.

He completed his vertical swipe, stopping all of Sky's momentum, leaving him floating for a brief second before bringing his blade to his left and swiping to his right with the same force, slamming it into Sky's chest.

CRUNCH!! KCH!!! The blade drove into Sky's chestplate, sending him instantly into the wall and destroying the northern half of the arena, stands and all.

Bahrny breathed heavily as he shot a glance towards the clock, still showing five seconds left. Quickly he sprinted towards the giant mess of rubble.

WHAM!!!! Something landed in front of him, stopping him. He looked down to see Carla, claw marks on her chest as she breathed heavily. His eyes shot to where she had come from and saw a bright flash of light. Suddenly remembering Sky he shook it off and leaped forwards.

"TIIIIIIMMEEEEESSS UUUUUUUUPP!!!!!!" Max roared.
