VFC Episode #7 - A Worthy Duel
*Opening*
*Michael and Ignis collide blades, slashing down the trees around them* *They swing at each other wildly*
Michael: *Blocking a attack* You mentioned Mortem earlier, why? *Pushes Ignis away* He was killed months ago!
Ignis: Heh heh heh! What's the fun in explaining everything to a half-wit? *Slashs at him*
Michael: *Dodges to the side* You're obviously not part of this test. So you should mind telling me what the hell is going on! *Spin kicks at Ignis's head*
Ignis: *Catches foot* You ARE a moron, just as Leo said. *Throws Michael behind him and into a tree*
*Michael skids down and drops onto the ground* *His sword stuck in the tree*
Ignis: Alright then, I'll tell you the important stuff. *Brandishes his sword* I was created from the DNA you left back at the attack of your hometown. Leo and Brutus took the sample and created me. A perfection of the so called "Ultimate Weapon" to take on the gods.
Michael: *Leans against the tree* A weapon, to fight the gods? I thought Arthur sealed the gateway, a long ass time ago. *Grips sword handle* Why do they need something to fight them again?
Ignis: *Shakes head* You don't get it huh? Mortem came to them, years ago, with a prophecy! *Grimmances* The gods shall attack the earth once more, and only the one with a green aura may be the shining hope. That, is me now.
Michael: Tah! *Takes sword out of the tree* *Tree is torn in two and collapses on the ground* You're telling me that Mortem planned to save the world? Save it, all I hear is bullshit.
*Michael disappears and appears above Ignis* *He stabs down at him*
Ignis: *Grips blade with his hand* *Blood flows down his arm* I only see you as a threat against all of mankind. As did Brutus when he brought a Chimera to Washington. He saw that the president was just a nuisance and wished to terminate him. *Eyes droop halfway* But thanks to your friends, Brutus is dead by my hands.
Michael: *Eyes widen* W-What?! *Jumps away and skids across the ground* If what you say is true, then why don't we band together? We're wanting the same goal, and here we are trying to kill each other! It's ridiculous!
Ignis: *Spits at him* I got my own agenda here pal! *Grips sword tightly* Just looking at you makes me sick. The way you have my movements, the way you talk and fight...it makes a mockery of me.
Michael: ...*Tilts head up at the moon* Hm, that's one thing that seperates you and me. *Looks back at him* I may be a cocky generic good-guy, but I'm not powerhungry.
Ignis: *Grits teeth* Shut up...*Aura flows around him*
Michael: *Smirks* Let's get this over with. I got some friends to meet up with soon.
*The two dash off to each other, slashing and stabbing at one another*
*Cuts to Raven walking through the forest 15 minutes prior to Michael's event*
Raven: *Breathes deeply* This place sure is creepy... *Looks up at the trees* Even the trees seem alive. I like it. *Grins*
*The sounds around her seem to cease at a moment's notice* *Fog flows around her ankles*
Raven: Hm. *Unsheathes her sword* Alright, come on out. *Whistles*
