The Behemoth: Part Three

by Gundampanzer

The Duel

Lusajn leapt at Brad with amazing force, and striking Brad with his elbow, sent Brad tumbling until he stopped about 10 feet away from the edge of the tower.

"I could've destroyed you, but that would've been no fun. You weren't fast enough to start. Get up, and make a move."

Brad was astonished by Lusajn's show of honour.

"A man who will hit females, children, and blow up buildings at a time, and yet won't destroy me at a duel because I am slower than him."

"Don't push it. I am giving you a second chance to live."

Brad regained his balance, and jumped towards Lusajn with his blade outstretched.

"Yavn, slow down, your going to make the gash bigger!" Elci nagged him. Yavn was speeding across the night's sky.

"Elci, that guy flattened the whole city! You know it as well as I do... Brad cannot win. Not without us, anyway..."

"Yavn.... right... you're right...."

Brad and Lusajn were both panting on each side. "Lusajn.... great swordsmanship."

"Brad... quite the same."

Sweat tore out of Brad's skin. He was weary, nauseated, and brutally sore. Lusajn, on the other hand, was simply tired. Brad was fearing that this would be the day he would lose his life....

"Hey Brad!!!"

Brad looked above him to see Elci, Yavn, and Elci's owner, Zulu.

"What are you three doing here?" Brad yelled with a furious face.

"Well, Elci and Yavn told me the situation Brad, I wasn't gonna leave you here!" Zulu jumped down as Elci and Yavn dropped her onto the tower."Brad, now isn't a time to be acting like this. We have to destroy him.... at all costs." Zulu drew 2 daggers from her belt.

"Oh... and the fun begins. I get to fight 2 people...." Lusajn said with a look of madness in his eyes. Lusajn immediately sliced at Zulu. Brad repeatedly tried to knock Lusajn away, but he was thrown aside. And then.... a single drop of blood shot across the air. Brad immediately looked at Zulu, who was nicked across the face. She cried in pain....

"Zulu!" Brad yelled.

"Zulu....... Zulu!!!!!" Elcikigon began to glow, while Yavn stared in awe. Her reptile wings turned to feathered, angel wings, which were eight feet long. She gave off a soft glow, which spread over to Yavn. His wings grew five times their size, while the rest of his body grew slightly. Yavn was puzzled, but he knew that this power could be used to his advantage. He knew that they now stood a fighting chance.
