CHAPTER 16-A DULL BLADE

GIBBY- "WELCOME BACK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.  AFTER YESTERDAY'S AMAZING CHALLENGE, WE CAN ONLY BE SURE TODAY'S WILL BE EVEN MORE EXCITING. TODAY THE ANOINTED MUST SHOW FULL CONTROL OF THEIR ANNOS, USING THREE DIFFERENT SPIRITUAL MOVES BASED OFF OF THEIR ANOINTINGS. ARK'S SPECIAL ARENA HAS MONITORS THAT CAN PROJECT HUGE BARRIER WALLS TO KEEP EVERYONE PROTECTED FROM ANY SMS. MEANING THE ANOINTED CAN GO ALL OUT AT FULL STRENGTH AGAINST THE ROBOTECH BUILT BY ARK LABS…..(CROWD GOES BERSERK) RANDOMLY EACH PERSON WILL BE SELECTED. IT WILL BE ONE V ONE.  THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DESTROY AT LEAST ONE HUNDRED ROBOTS. IF YOU DON'T SHOW FULL CONTROL, YOU CANNOT CONTINUE PARTICIPATION."

ALL SHOCKED

GIBBY- "NOW LET'S CHECK THE RANDOMIZED MACHINE OF WHO FACES OFF!"

"FIRST UP ISSSSSSSS.." (machine spins)

"ZEYTA(DEBORAH) VS SOL (KING DAVID)" (CROWD GOES BERSERK) 

GIBBY- "KARI TAKEOVER"

KARI- "HELLO EVERYONE, WE'RE BACK AND BOY DO WE HAVE A SHOW. ZEYTA VS SOL THIS OUGHTA BE GREAT."

GIBBY- "BOTH SWORDSMEN, BOTH WARRIORS, AND WE CAN FINALLY SEE THEIR ANOINTING IN ACTION"

KARI- "WELL WE MUST NOT FORGET THIS ISN'T A COMPETITION IT'S MORE OF A FINISH THE OBJECTIVE."

GIBBY- "HAHA NOT IN ALL OUR EYES, IT'S MORE OF A WHO'S BETTER."

KARI- (thinking to herself) "Man it had to be Sol." she admires him hopefully. "ANYWAY, UM THEY BOTH STEP INTO THE ARENA." 

ZEYTA- "OF COURSE IT WOULD BE KING DAVID VS DEBORAH."

SOL- "HA YES VERY COINCIDENTAL, HOPEFULLY WE CAN BOTH PASS."

ZEYTA- "OOOO I WILL HAHAHA"

KHAYJIN- "HEYYYYYYYY STOP TALKING TO HER AND LET HER FOCUS, YOU FLIRTING SINNERRRR."

ZEYTA- "SHUTTTTTT UP YOU PLAGUEEE!"

ROUKE- slaps Khayjin in the head

GIBBY- "HERE COME THE ROBOTS, LOOK AT THAT, THEY'RE ALL OVER. HERE WE GO... THREE, TWO, ONE."

ZEYTA- "ANNO -DEBORAH-BLUE SCYTHEEEEEEEEEE."  A large slash heads towards the bots, killing twenty-seven of one hundred.

Sol- "Anno David, that was impressive, check this out though. Remember I told you...(a white aura goes over Sol) you must dance with your blades." Four swords appear and Sol holds two in each hand. He then does his SM -holy dance. He slashes through multiple robots while dancing at warp speed.

Gibby – "HE'S KILLED SIXTY-NINE OUT OF ONE HUNDRED."

(Crowd goes wild)

Khayjin- "He's amazing."

Vojim- "Hhmmmmm, indeed let's see how Zeyta answers."

Khayjin- "But I thought we weren't supposed to be competitive."

Vojim- "It's not competitive when there's respect."

Khayjin- "I don't understand."

Rouke- "Zeyta looks forward to surpassing Sol. Swordsmen always wanna prove their skills."

Zeyta then thinks of Sol's advice.... "So, I should dance with my blades. Let's try my other SM. It drains a good amount from me, but maybe the dancing can help keep a balance? SM 2-Aurora fangs." Her swords glow blue as she closes her eyes. Then when she opens her eyes the swords turn a whitish blue color. She sees robots in front of her and throws her blade forward. She thinks hard about being where she is throwing her sword and then she appears where the sword is. She starts slashing multiple robots as she dances with her blades, but she trips over her feet losing her aura and swords.

(CROWD GOES WILD)

Everyone is shocked.

Zeyta falls on one knee.

VOJIM- "HMMMMM, THAT ONE DRAINED HER ALOT I CAN SEE HER SG IS AT TWELVE PERCENT."

ROUKE- "Maybe this is too much of a toll on her body. We might need to pull her out."

VOJIM- "NO SHE TOLD ME BEFORE THE TRIALS TO LET HER PUSH THROUGH. SHE HAS A LOT TO PROVE TO HERSELF."

ROUKE- "OK."

SOL- "I admire your strength, but you're drained, don't go all out if you don't need to."

Zeyta- "I'm fine."                

Sol- "Well my next move will be two combined. Then I'm done."

Zeyta- "Two combined?"

Sol- "Allow me to show you ...Anno-King David."

"SM2-calmest blade (his blade glows bright white) SM3-cloak of a warrior." There is a blue outline around him like a blue cloak. He swings his sword thirty times at high speed and the white slashes fly forward then disappear.

Zeyta- "Where did they go?"

All the slashes reappear behind the bots, destroying them by the flocks.

ZEYTA- "HOW DID HE DO THAT? HE MADE HIS SLASHES MOVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION?"

GIBBY- "ONE HUNDRED BOTS DESTROYED!"

(Crowd in a frenzy)

Zeyta- "Howwww did heee do that? Well, my last move will definitely top it."

Sol- "Remember all we need to do is pass, don't attempt to overdo yourself. You only have about seventeen bots left."

Zeyta- "Hmmmm you would say that" she smirks. "This will end it for me." A bluish purple aura goes over her body.

Vojim- "Wait a minute, is she planning to use…wait don't Zeyta you're not ready."

Zeyta- "Sorry Master, this is my spotlight. FM3" A blue aura surrounds Zeyta and starts dispersing all over the field. Then the blue aura starts to spread further toward the audience. Zeyta's eyes start to turn completely blue, and her blades glow purple.

Rouke- "What's going on Vojim?"

Vojim- "I must stop this, ANNO EZEKIEL"

Vojim jumps down from the leaders' chairs and summons a giant skeleton with armor.

VOJIM- "ZEYTA WAIT!" 

ZEYTA- "THY KINGDOM COME..."(she lifts her swords up stabbing the ground)

Sol- "Zeyta wait, what are you doing"

VOJIM- "SM4 SKELETAL WALL"

Thousands of skeleton bones create a wall of bones where the audience is and then a bone shield goes over Sol. Suddenly, thousands of blue and purple elemental swords start to come up from the ground stabbing the robots. The skull walls overtake the swords, causing them to stop from rising through the ground.

ROUKE- "WHAT IS THIS? HOW DID ZEYTA LEARN THIS?"

Khayjin- "Zeyta could have killed us all, that was insane!"

Adon- "Vojim saved everyone. That move was terrifying."

Hela- "The girl is truly remarkable, but that could have killed everyone down there."

Kari- "Nooooo Zeyta, what has she done?"

Gibby- "Well ladies and gentlemen, it looks like Zeyta has killed 470 robots which is way past the limit. Meaning she forfeits the match by breaking rules. And she used a move that could have killed everyone. This is not of God, and she can no longer participate."

(EVERYONE SHOCKED) 

KHAYJIN- "SHE DIDN'T KNOW. THAT'S NOT FAIR, PLUS VOJIM SAVED EVERYONE."

RAIZA- "Rules are rules kid, she broke them."

KHAYJIN- "SHUT UP!"

ROUKE- "ENOUGH. SHE HAS BROKEN RULES, SO SHE WILL NOT CONTINUE."

ZEYTA- "SORRY EVERYONE!"

SOL- "You have shown something I've never seen before. I don't know what you just did but it was...unique."

ZEYTA- "THANKS!" 

SOL- Don't thank me because if your master didn't save everyone, I would have killed you myself. You almost killed every person here just to prove a point."

ZEYTA- "BUT WAIT SOL… I..."

Sol sighs and walks away.

VOJIM- "IT'S OK ZEYTA DO NOT WORRY WE WILL RECOVER FROM THIS."

ZEYTA-"I ALMOST KILLED EVERYONE!" (she cries as crowd boos her and walks out of the tunnels) 

Rouke- "Vojim why and how did she discover a move of that caliber?"

Vojim- "She told me she was meeting with a man from your village when she was younger, and that man taught her the basis of it. She showed me during training, but I told her then that she wouldn't be ready to use such a technique. She disobeyed, but I'll talk with her. That is a FM, a FORBIDDEN MOVE. She was way too determined. Her punishment is being banned from the trials, that will haunt her."

Rouke- "Agreed" (thinks to self) "Forbidden move? Had to be Niosh. First, he's showing Genjo techniques, now he's showing my student.... I must go see him tonight."

Khayjin- (thinks to self) "Dang Zeyta, what was that move? I need to go check on her."

Gibby- "THE TRIALS MUST CONTINUE. ZEYTA IS NOW OUT OF THE SPIRIT TRIALS, BUT WE MUST STILL RESPECT OUR OTHER PARTICIPANTS.

UP NEXT...

KAYGE VS KHAYJIN"

KHAYJIN- (to himself) "Shoot, I wanted to go see Zeyta, but I gotta focus."
