Dance Of Desperation

"Stop dancing around! This is a fight to the death, goddammit!"

A blue-skinned male alien shouted with frustration, displayed all over his navy eyes. All his blond hair had turned wavy thanks to all the stress he inflicted on himself.

The man before him acted like a coward at first sight when his whole body looked like it was shivering from fright, yet he was only dancing.

To an outsider like Madison, it seemed as if Rajah was merely performing a crazy dance, unaware of the gravity of the situation.

Little did Madison know that the seemingly erratic movements were actually the War Dance Perini Thandavam, a dance mastered by the fallen Prince in his childhood days.

Well, in honesty, Rajah was scared out of his mind. The sweat beads covering his whole body were proof of that.

'Damn it! Why did that bastard leave me alone with this psychopath!' He complained in his mind.

Rajah was even more troubled than Madison. The young man's rapier was making sure to leave small cuts on the prince's frail body from each swing.

Although he didn't have an ability, Madison's rapier was made out of great stones which made Rajah's immortality useless, as his wounds were taking a long time to heal.

Swiftly—!

Hearing the fierce swing coming towards his way, Rajah's legs quickly got into position.

Shaking up his body like a stripper, he dodged the attack and used his left foot to hit the blondie in his shin.

Bam—!

The surprise attack landed perfectly, but the attacker was the one who cringed his face from pain as he rolled over to the side.

"Shit! Ouch!" Rajah touched his left foot as he stopped all his movements. He couldn't get his achkan even more dirty, forcing him to stand up.

His comedian-like action made the youngest corrections Chief Officer frown even more from rage.

"Stop playing like a fool! Stand still and fight me like a real man!" Madison roared.

For someone with a short temper, one could say that he has held himself back a lot. In normal situations, he would have gone on a rampage that would kill even his own men.

Huff, huff, huff...

Like a wild beast, the blue-skinned blondie took huge amounts of air into his body as his navy eyes turned bloodshot.

Crack—!

The floor beneath his feet cracked as he rushed at the fallen Prince who tried making the same dance moves again.

However, Rajah found his body shivering from pain. He had just received a cut to the gut unknowingly, and the sword swings coming at him didn't show signs of stopping.

Madison had just lost his sense of reason and was now showing why he is called the mad dog of Galactic Prison.

His movements had lost all their rhythm and became more fierce. It was as if a war god had descended.

Rajah's dance moves all became useless as Madison's fierce sword swings seemed like they were made from multiple blades at the same time.

The Perini Thandavam movements had faltered in the face of Madison's furious assault, but Rajah still had confidence in the dance that brought countless wins for his people in ancient times.

The fallen Prince, driven by a primal instinct to survive, gritted his teeth against the searing pain in his gut as he watched the thunderous storm of blades crash down upon him.

Swish—!

As the vertical slash aimed to cut the fallen Prince in half, Rajah performed an intricate hand gesture using his palm to push over the non-bladed part of the sword to his left.

Madison's eyes started shaking wildly as he didn't expect this development in Rajah's moves. However, that was the end of it.

The fallen Prince leaped up into the air, twisting his leg with the perfect angle to kick the blue-skinned alien in the jaw.

Shack—!

The navy-haired brat found his nose dripping blood as he got pushed a few inches back by the force of the kick.

"Kurghh!!" Madison groaned before he wiped the blood from his nose. Nonetheless, he is always the type to play dense to this kind of thing.

"This is the last time I will fall for your stupid tricks." The corrections officer declared. It was high time he got serious or his life might end at the hands of a weakling.

With a steely determination in his eyes, Madison rushed at a speed he was sure the inmate wouldn't be able to catch with his human eyes.

Swish...

Rajah lost his right arm from a sword slash, but he just gritted his teeth as he readied himself for the incoming onslaught.

'Damn it! He is both crazy and mad! Fuck it is the same thing!' His mind raced, trying to find a way to counter the relentless attacks of the mad dog of the Galactic Prison.

He used the Perini Thandavam swift footwork to dodge and the hand gestures to parry the swings to the side. However, Rajah could feel and see himself getting hurt by each swing.

His small first finger dancing on the ground was proof of this, and also the fact that his floral cologne was replaced by a deep stench of blood.

His fragile body was already screaming in protest, but he refused to yield to the overwhelming force before him, as this was just child's play compared to the pain inflicted by his twin brother.

Madison's movements became a blur of steel, his strikes swift and deadly. It was as if he had tapped into a primal fury that knew no bounds. As the swordsman and the fallen Prince clashed, Rajah struggled to keep up with the overwhelming onslaught.

He was no longer dancing and tried to protect his remaining arm, as he kept it tucked in his sleek achkan. However, this became a handicap to his movements.

With a sudden burst of adrenaline, Madison launched a fierce sword swing, his blade flashing in a desperate bid to end his enemy. Rajah didn't even have to react, as his body was cut in half.

However, thanks to still having his consciousness with him, he was able to pull out his hand pistol and aim for Madison's forehead.

Bang—!
