When I'd finally snapped back into reality...it was only from the feeling of a huge energy wave. There was a battle being fought...yet it screamed "STAY AWAY!"...I wasn't one to crash a "good" battle, so I ignored it. I thought about how I'd rushed Kyxsha off...I was feeling slightly bad. I mean...she'd meant well, and I cast her off. Rather rudely...even if I was just worried about her well-being.
I teleported up to her room. Knocking on the door...I waited. "Kyxsha...if you're sleeping already...sorry for waking you but we have to talk." I called out. There was no answer of any sort. "I'm coming in!" Slowly I turned the knob. As I opened the door...I saw tons of vicious looking plants. The one nearest the door seemed to be "eyeing" me. I increased the electricity around me...it sat perfectly still. But my attention had been diverted. I looked to the bed...as I thought...empty.
My temper rose slightly...only because I KNEW where she was. Opening a portal immediately, I entered Agrabah. I stood atop one of the highest buildings I could find. My eyes scanning the area for any unnatural activity. More importantly...any NOBODY activity. I felt huge bursts of energy. I portaled directed to the area. As I thought, I found a battle and that guy. My eyes narrowed as he turned to face me. In a moment, he was in my face.
His weapon came up under my chin...he lifted it...as though his threats had any substance whatsoever to my ears. "I will not lose her to you." He spoke then looked at Kyxsha. "I am sorry I failed you, but I will not let it happen again."
I looked over at Kyxsha now. Immediately my eyes were attracted to how soaked through with blood she was. A cage enveloped her. Yamil went over and said something I couldn't hear. But I felt my anger continually rising. He looked back at me. A streak of his red hair slowly began to change color. With this change, I sensed a slight rise in power within him. He was seeking a battle. I would gladly give him what he sought.
I moved slowly to the side...my hand on the hilt of my buster sword. "Kyxsha!" I called out loudly. "Are you injured?"
"No Ximh! I'm fine...really....you shouldn't fight! Don't do..." She started shouting out.
"Good." I interrupted. "You just sit tight, this guy is out for blood. I'll grant his wish...if he wishes to vanish this badly." My eyes never left his. He smirked arrogantly at me. How dare he. As though he stood a chance against me now of all times...
I glared at him as I felt myself wanting this battle now. "I think it only right that you know the name of the one who bested you." I began. "Ximh...previously Magni-Son of Thunder God Thor!" I cried out. His cocky smirk vanished in a second. Yet he plastered another there shortly after...in an effort to mask his fear no doubt.
I drew my blade slowly. I contemplated ending this quickly...but I had to show this man his place. We launched into combat. I parried every attack he made. His weapons were heavy and slow. I felt the ground underneath me give way. I stepped back a few paces...but feeling it futile...shocked the sand with a huge bolt. Glass formed, which I used as a base to launch onto the nearby building.
He was bleeding...but not just from the wounds I'd given him. I had only been playing with him so far...but the wounds he had were severe. I smirked. That HE had the audacity to challenge me in his condition. It was quite humorous. He seemed to be getting affected by them as well. He looked tired...the weight of his own weapons weighing him down.
Coming down off the building, I put my sword away. He looked at me furiously. "What's this? Are you withdrawing already?! I thought you would 'best me'!"
"Huh...just standing here I've bested you." I mumbled. I felt the earth beneath me shift again. Was he trying this again? "Time to end this." I moved forward quickly. Grabbing him by the neck so quickly...he dropped his weapons as I slammed him against the nearby wall. I lifted him higher and higher...smiling slightly as his hands grabbed on to my arm...fighting to get free.
"You should not pick fights with enemies you know NOTHING about..." I lectured...choking the life from him. "Unless you have the POWER to back up your threats."
"XIMH! Please! Don't kill him!!!" Kyxsha screamed suddenly. I loosened my grip a bit...just enough for him to breathe. "Please!"
"Protecting him AGAIN Kyxsha?!" I called out loudly. I looked at her coldly...her eyes begging me as she fought at her confinement. Looking back at the man in my grip...I suddenly dropped him to the ground. He fell to his knees, coughing for air. Bending over to his level I spoke threateningly in his ear. "I shall allow you your life, only this once. Do not cross me again...not even Kyxsha will stop me next time...do you understand? Fight me...and embrace Nothingness."
I stood up and turned to Kyxsha. "I give you his life! Return to the castle by your own means." I spoke furiously. Immediately opening a portal...I returned to Castle Oblivion. I sat in my room...brewing over that whole scene. I didn't know why I'd stopped....I should've just killed him. What the heck was up with me? Why did I do as women asked...
Ximh
