Cosmo The Octoling

Chapter 7; Part 4: The Fight Begins

Snap back to reality

I get up right where I left off.. examining the reptilians.

Ok... 'just do it...'

The sword materializes into my hand

I point the sword toward the opposite side of the prison

Um... sword beam

...

Sword beam...

...

Seriously?

Why isn't it working...

"Simple, you're trying too hard by forcing it"

Oh really? So I'm just supposed to wait for it to go "ok, 

I'm ready"

"Not 'it', you, you're trying to force the power like you 

would a machine.

But you need let the power flow through you like 

water."

Whatever...

I turn the sword from the splatana stamper to a sharper and bigger sword.

Hmmm, how strong is the reptilian skin?

"They are slash resistance, slicing them will be difficult"

Ok.. then...

Large metallic spikes come out of the sword.

This should do now... if you can't slice, pierce

"Remember, the weapon can turn into anything but sword forms are the strongest for me at least"

Um, why exactly?

"Oh, um, it's what I have chosen to be my power... the power of light"

The power of light? That explains the sparks forming 

into the sword

anyway... it's stabbing time... or should I just demand 

to get their leader?

"Sure, but you need to know how to say it in their language"

Um yeah, probably

Sakuya explains to me how to somewhat speak 

reptilian.

"Let's goooooooo" I say as I jump down from the 

window from the prison

BOOM! SUPER HERO LANDING... what's a super hero 

again?

The reptilians all look at me... hostile

Hmmm "I demand to see your leader"

They look at each other

did I say it right?

"Yes, you said it right Cosmo."

They began to speak to each other...

They called to their leader but they raise their 

weapons... how threatening...

The leader spoke... "Kill the fool, they should have 

known challenging us was suicide."
