Many people grouped up into 2 and jumped back to make space from others, for a second, nobody moved. Then an explosion resonated through the people,
"I've had it with your crap" a man said with his hands set ablaze, alongside him was a man that had a magical shield raised above him "time to shut you up"
"HA. I'll like to see you try" said the man opposite to fire dude, he had needles sticking out of his arm with someone beside him (who I assume is his partner) that had rocks circling him. Everyone followed their lead and proceeded to attack the people closest to them, soon the entire area was filled with shouting and clanging.
"oi, we got company" Nickle said, pointing towards a pair charging at us. Oh wow, what a coincidence, catgirl and the lady with a katana came charging at us. Actually, they were charging at my partner, I was non-existent in their eyes. Nickle immediately saw that he was their target and immediately made a forcefield dome around himself, which was pierced by the katana inches near his face. Meanwhile, the catgirl started unleashing a flurry of slashes with her claw, slowly wearing the dome down.
"scratch that, I've got company!" he exclaimed "what in the heck did I do?!"
I'm not going to lie, that irritated me a little. They acted as if I didn't exist, that I did not matter. Also, that's MY partner. I charged at the katana lady that was aiming for a second strike, she noticed me charging and shifted her blade from a vertical slash towards the shield to a diagonal slash to my chest. Holy- she is out for blood! But I activated my Anigma already which made my eyes sharper than ever, I saw which muscle tensed up and which relaxed, that allowed me to predict her movements. I spun to my left, successfully dodging the slash and used my momentum to preform a roundhouse kick, but she blocked it with her blade and skidded back. She is definitely stronger than those thugs I met. Since I took some pressure off of my partner, he was able to retaliate and go on the offensive. His arm went into a rift of some sorts and pulled out a long chain, with a dagger on one end and a mini scythe on the other, then proceeded to send a flurry of slashes of his own. I was stunned, I'm going to ask him about that portal thing later.
"don't divert your attention when fighting" a calm voice spoke, I turned around and saw my opponent a meter from me, her blade was already mid-slash. Fxck, I was careless. I jumped back but the blade still grazed my chest, leaving a rather deep cut. I held my chest but I learned how to numb the pain from my years with my father, but she wasted no time and struck again by dashing towards me and slashed again. I ducked down and preformed the low sweep that I did towards the thugs, she jumped up but I anticipated that, so just as she reached the max height, I blasted the air under me and also punched using the momentum of me flying towards her, landing her square in the stomach. She fell back but I doubt that could actually knock her out, but I needed to help my partner. Nickle had his legs locked to the ground by what looks like liquid cement and water mixing in while catgirl dashed back and forth scratching my partner from all angles, so catgirl has waterpowers. Nickle is forced to be on the defensive, using his chain to block every claw. I gathered air into the palm of my hand, slowly condensing it, then released it into a burst of wind that successfully blasted the liquid away to free his legs. He locked eyes with me for a split second to show thanks before he went back on the offensive, pushing his opponent back. I turned to face katana girl again when I saw her still laying on the ground motionless, I started to panic. She may wanna kill me but I don't wanna kill anyone! I ran up to her and saw blood seep from her mouth. When I reached my hand to check her pulse, she grabbed my arm and flipping herself so she has locked me from the top. The blood faded into nothing and the bruises disappeared to reveal a cold smile, blade raised to aim for my neck, and an amused look.
"You are too kind" she chided "but I guess you fail"
hmm, was that regret I hear? I saw her blade start coming down and I was sure that was the end, which was sad. I felt every millisecond pass between my heartbeats which gave me ample time to write my own grave.
Mycen Law
BA-BUMP
Some year- some year
BA-BUMP
Final words: Mycen you dumba*s
Then I heard an object woosh past me with a chain attached, deflecting the blade from my neck. I grabbed that opportunity and blasted air between us, sending her several feet up the air and me skidding towards my partner. I don't know how fictional characters get hit and start creating a damn ravine by sliding, just normal sliding with air hurts. I turned to see catgirl tied up with the scythe part towards her neck and the dagger point just floating around, the girl saw that it was a 2v2 and seemed to be in deep thought.
"man, why are you so damn cool" I poked his ribs
"a favor for a favor" he smirked. We turned our head to face katana girl again, she straightened up and sheathed her blade to admit defeat.
"ok, I can't win this battle" she sighed "I giv-"
Then loud stomping interrupting her speech, slightly shaking the ground.
"HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FUTURE WIFE!" a human that might as well be identified as a bull spoke. He was top naked and had an axe in one hand, bursting with muscles. He had 2 horns sticking out of his head and wide eyes
"AND CHAINED MINE AS WELL!" bull boy's twin ran beside him. I looked at the 2 girls and they had confusion written all over their face, which resulted in confusion on my partners face. Now I'm very confused. I grabbed Nickle's shirt and blasted air below us to send ourselves into the air, they zipped right past us slowly slowing down. Nickle took advantage towards their predictable path and shot his scythe, taking their heads off simultaneously.
"what the… hello? Ever heard of mercy?!" I exclaimed, watching the blood spill out of their neck
"what's mercy?" he smirked "they'll get revived anyways, there's magic surrounding the area so they'll get revived and teleported out"
As he said that, a blue light column came down from the ceiling and seem to suck up the body, slowly mending the cut and materialized away. The last I saw was the dude suddenly gasping for air before fully vanishing. Then I frozen. I looked at Nickle's chains, the himself, then the freed catgirl.
"wait…" then, katana girl nodded at catgirl and dashed forward, I thought we were dead, until I noticed they weren't charging at us. They ran at a pair with fire and ice circling each other, they had a overpowering feeling but the girls continued charging. The fire and ice pair raised their hands and condensed their elements, emitting pressure of pure power, but the girls didn't even faze and continued running. Then they vanished, leaving the cold and hot dude to panic and shut off their spell, switching to a shield like the one Nickle used but thicker. Then their heads fell off, and a blade appeared, also a hole in the shield shaped as a sword, and a body.
"wait wasn't their shield stronger…" I weakly pointed out "then…yours, right?"
"yeah…" he gulped
Then a sound resonated
"congratulations Michael likel, Samual sin…Mycen law, Nickle kets…for passing the test, please follow me to the next room" the lady spoke while walking up the stairs
"oh I forgot it was a test" Nickle said
"at this point, I just want to stay alive" I whispered, then I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see a demon with a cold smile and murderous aura. I leaped six feet into the air and yelped, loudly. I heard Nickle laugh as I land back down,. I turned to face katana girl giggling and definitely too cute to be a murderous demon. Cute? I meant cool. I covered my face, feeling it heat up slowly.
"I'm Kinto" katana girl giggled "and that's Siro" pointing at the catgirl leaning against Nickle, while Nickle is subtly making a thin shield against his skin and Siro casually ripping the shield, causing Nickle to be more skittish. Just ripping and repairing.
"s-so you could've just deleted us from existence in the very beginning?" I asked, making sure not to anger Dea-I mean Kinto.
"yep" she confirmed
"and you spared us, why?" Nickle asked
"because you're hot" Catgirl said
…
"what?" we both asked
