CronoOver 20 Chapter 20

-Hood, rank B.

-Rin, rank C.

-The sound of the bell ringing and Dwarfy announcing it, that was the signal that the fight began, and from the start, Rin attacked fast.

I need to finish this fast so he can't use his ability on me!

-His movement fast and precise, within second's he came in close corners with Hood and pulled Kanas.h.i.+mi out of his sheath.

Now, combine Little star with Kanas.h.i.+mi and...

"Long sword style: Wyvern das.h.!.+"

-Rin released an attack that was meant for long-range fights, but at point-blank range, it would deal ma.s.sive amounts of damage to the opposite side, that is if Hood actually took it.

-Expecting something of that sort, Hood prepared himself beforehand, and in the last second his body flue away, sideways, avoiding the hit.

My guess was right on the mark, which means...

-Even if he missed the first time, Rin still continued to attack Hood with a barrage of attacks.

-Rin used Little star to send his attacks flying with skilled precision. From Right, left, above, downwards, no matter how many he sends and from where, Hood avoided them all.

-Hood's body moved like he wasn't in control of it, that would be the best way to describe it. Like he was possessed or someone was controlling his movements, like a puppet.

His body, how?

"Don't get distracted Eyepatch, or it coud cost you your life."

-Landing not so far away from where he was, Hood pulled up his right hand and gripped it into a fist. While still crouching on the ground he punched the air in the direction were Rin was standing, and as he did, Rin's body was sent flying into the wall of the arena, leaving his body print on it.

Huah!!! What... the h.e.l.l was that?

-Surprised by the attack from Hood, Rin got distracted and didn't notice him going for a second one. This time Hood opened his hand and slammed it into the air, just like last time.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

-Even thou nothing coud be seen, Rin's body was pushed even further into the wall, squeezing and crus.h.i.+ng him.

"Hahaha do you get it now boy, you can't beat me!"

-It certainly seemed so, Currently, Rin coud barely move, and if he tried to, the pain he felt would only get more intense.

What's up with his Ability, I thought he could knock out everyone that was close to him, but he attacked me from afar and put me in the wall!

"Have you figured it out yet, my ability, that is!"

-Hood"s Ability that can apparently move himself and his opponent, either from close or from afar.

"I'll make it easy for you, it's called " The Ruler", but that's everything you're getting."

-Hood then stood up and started walking towards Rin, who is stuck inside of the arena wall, barely breathing as his sight became foggier and foggier.

The Ruler, What kind of ability is that?

-Walking slowly, once again he pulled his hand up towards Rin and gripped it tightly, Like he's squas.h.i.+ng a fly in the palm of his hand.

s.h.i.+t, not good!

"Aaaaaaaaaa!"

-Rin, who was in the wall had been pulled out by some invisible force, and just like Hood was doing, the invisible force did the same, It imitated his movements.

-Hood then proceeded to swing his hand, like he throws something onto the ground, and that something being Rin.

-By the Ruler's hand, he was thrown and crashed into the hard, solid ground, which in the process opened some of his previous injuries, as well as made some new ones.

"Huahh!!"

-Just as Rin made contact with the flour and crashed, from his body and mouth a pool of blood splattered the ground.

"Aaaaaaa, you...mother F*cker!!!"

-Hood's face that was covered by his hood coud not be seen, but at this point, Rin coud see a smile on him.

-A smile that only a murderer coud have, Hood was prepared and ready to kill Rin. He wasn't in here for the money or the opportunity to join the Mafia, Hood just loved to kill.

-And now, Rin looked just so delicious.

"Ha...haha...hahaha...hahahaha!"

-He used The Ruler to pull Rin into the air again and with extreme force, slammed him down into the ground again, and again.

"Aaaaaaaaaa!"

s.h.i.+t, if... this continues... I will die!

I have to... figure out his ability... fast.

And for now.

"Long sword... Style: Wyvern slas.h.!.+"

-Rin combined his ability and his swordsmans.h.i.+p once again and fired his Wyvern slash towards Hood in hopes of this time hitting him.

-But the attack failed once again, and Hood moved his body out of the way using The Ruler's ability, as he did so, the grip on Rin lessened and His body fell to the ground.

"Ahhh!"

What was that?, I don't feel like he has a grip on me anymore... Wait, that's it!

-Hood landed on the far right side of the arena, with a sour expression, he looked towards Rin.

s.h.i.+t, I lost my grip on him when I moved my body. If he figured out how my ability works this is going to be a lot harder.

-Rin stabbed the ground with his sword and used it as support to stand up, after which he mediately rushed towards Hood.

If I'm right then this should...

-He swung his sword, firing a flying blade attack once again but this time, a bigger one.

"Long sword style: Raging Wyvern!"

-As he fired his Raging Wyvern, Rin moved behind it, and closely followed it's movements.

"Not good."

-Hood pulled his hand up and pointed towards the attack, closed his hand and destroyed Rin's attack.

-But from the light created by the clash of The ruler and Raging Wyveren, Rin came out and finally got a hit on Hood.

"Now, Long sword style: Wyvern das.h.!.+"

-In a matter of seconds, he cut thro Hood's head and destroyed his hood, revealing a young and handsome face, If I had to say he would be in his thirties.

s.h.i.+t, that was close, if I didn't use The Ruler to destroy the part of the slash, my head would have been cut off.

-Yes, Hood used The Ruler in the last possible second to destroy the part of the attack that was supposed to cut off his head and managed to protect himself.

Did I miss?, not important, I think I figured it out now.

"The Ruler, quite a powerful ability I must say, but, some really hard to pull off effects to activate it."

As I thought he figured it out, I have to finish this fast now.

-Hood didn't just stand there listening to Rin's words before he coud finish, he already started running towards him.

You're panicking Hood. I've got you now!

"To use The Ruler you first have to point your hand towards the target, and second..."

-Hood once again pulled his hand up and pointed towards Rin, but this time, things didn't go as they did before.

"You must have eye contact with him!"

-Just as Hood was supposed to close his hand Rin activated Little star and combined it with his swordsmans.h.i.+p.

"Wyvern Dance!"

-Three separate attacks came out from one, and each time they bounced from the ground, like a wave they became bigger and bigger, to the point where Hood coud not see Rin anymore.

s.h.i.+t, where is the brat, no, I have to protect my self for now!

-The attack that was meant for Rin, now was used to protect Hood from Rin's Wyvern dance. Hood managed to destroy two of the three attacks headed his way, but the last one escaped his grip, showing how he's not a master at using the Ruler's ability.

Alright, an opportunity!

-From that one blast, Hood missed, a second attack came, Rin, after firing his Wyvern dance chose to hide and follow one of the attacks, and the one he chose happened to be the one Hood missed to destroy, what luck on his part.

"Long sword style: Raging Wyvern!"

-Rin chose not to hold anything back, his body moved by some miracle and the pain he felt before was gone, was it adrenalin or something, before the pain comes back he has to finish this fight.

Another one!

-Hood quickly and swiftly turned towards Rin and used The Ruler to destroy the Raging Wyvern in the last possible moment before impact, saving Hood and scaring him for a second.

That was to close for comfort. If I was even a second late I would have Died.

-Rin, after missing the attack stops and changes the direction he's running in, towards where Hood is standing.

d.a.m.n, he destroyed it again.

-Feeling like he had an upper hand on him now, because Hood looked quite shook, Rin pulled his sword from behind himself forward in a stance that seemed like he was going to Pea.r.s.e Hood.

Again, don't give him time to rest!

Not gain, just how much stamina does this guy have?

-Rin's movements became slower and slower, as he ran towards Hood and the decisive moment which happened unexpectedly.

"g...Gah!!!"

-Red liquid spilling from his mouth, Rin couth out a pool of blood and fell to the ground in the middle of his charge.

-It seems one of his previous wounds had opened up and caused Rin to lose the feeling in his legs and some parts of the upper body.

Not now, why, why, why now!!!

-Even if he didn't show it his wounds were opening up, one after another during this match. Acting and thinking that he coud take it, he pushed himself and his body to keep fighting, resulting in his current state.

"huh, huh, What..."

-Hood's scared expression slowly turned menacing, as he's smile became so wretched and discussing, more, and more after every second that pa.s.sed.

"HAHAHAHA Look at you, lying there helplessly..."

-Hood now felt like he was in control of the fight again. He started walking towards Rin and came in front of his head, he put his foot on top his head and continued with what he was saying.

"JUST LIKE A BUG SHOULD!!!"

-Hood noticed his shoe was covered in Rin's blood and now the smiling expression turned angry.

"How dare you put your blood on me!"

-He then kicked Rin whose face was on the ground, with his stained leg. Hit after hit, at this point Hood didn't even use his ability anymore, he felt more pleasure hurting Rin himself and not with his ability.

"d.a.m.n, this match was going in all sorts of directions, but it seems Hood win's in the end." -Dworfy's first statement after the beginning of the Fight, and it was the one saying the state of the Fighters.

-Hood's shoes even more bloodied then they were before, and the blood that was on them was also around Rin's head. Becouse he was wearing bandages his face was hidden, but if one would to take them off his face would resemble that of monsters.

It... hurts... my body hurts... so this is it... this is how... I die...

"Ahhhh, don't tell me your dead already, I haven't returned all the pain you gave me during our fight, and besides I want to hurt you more!"

-Hood merciless and violent kicks continued as Rin just lied there on ground enduring it.

"Hahahaahahaha!"

I'm... a failure... I couldn't... even... beat this guy.

So... how... how...

-At that moment Alexander's last words came rus.h.i.+ng thro his mind, His entire life in the OverWorld started flas.h.i.+ng, from the point of madness all the way towards Alexanders demise.

NO... I can't... I WON'T BE KILLED, I SAID, I PROMISED THAT I WHOUD BRING HIM BACK, SO WHATEVER IT TAKES,I WILL WIN!

-His legs previously numb now showed sighs of twitching, and at the moment Hood stopped kicking him, Rin's legs wrapped themselves around Hood's lower body.

WHATEVER IT TAKES!

-With all of his abdominal strength, he's abs busting out from the pain, he pulled his body upwards, head b.u.mping Hood, with all the force of impact behind it.

even if it destroys my body and kills me, I'll do whatever it takes to save you, my friend!

-Hood, now down on the ground from the impact of the head b.u.mp still had Rin wrapped around his waist.

"Huh, Huh, that hurt..."

-Hood's face suddenly turned pale at the sight in front of him, Rin, his hands were still hurt and bloodied, but his head wasn't. His mouth wide opened Showing a purple light becoming bigger and bigger, to the point when half of his face coud not be seen anymore.

"NO, NO, NO!"

-Hood started punching and hitting Rin in hopes that he would do something and the attack would end, but that didn't happen, and so scared s.h.i.+tless hood fainted and stopped hitting Rin. The energy that was gathered in his mouth Rin realised towards Hood, but in the last moment his head s.h.i.+fted from all he pain and that head b.u.mp, and he missed Hood, destroying the ground near his head and his left ear.

I...missed...

-The silence that covered the entire coliseum was broken by two simple words...

"Eyepatch WIN'S!" -Dwarfy's words announced the end of the first match as well as the winner, who in this one was Eyepatch. The screams and cheers from the audience started once again and his time they were shouting Rin's name.

"Eyepatch, Eyepatch, Eyepach!"

"This was an unbelievable fight, Hood clearly had he advantage the whole fight, but somehow Eyepatch still defeated him and is now moving to the second part!"

I won?

"Ha, ha, ha, did you see that alexander, the first fight I won all on my own."

And now I'm one step closer to bringing you back.

-Rin let go of Hood's body and picked Kanas.h.i.+mi of the ground, he used it as support to walk and Exited the ring, leaving the stage to the next two fighters.

"And now time for round two, Archer vs White Knife!"
