____________________________
Jason studied Light, who still did not move and inch since his arrival. Pure electricity... but it looks weak. I can scare it off. Carefully sliding out of Tulip's grasp, Jason put his hand over his whip, ready to draw it. He takes two steps forward, preparing to launch the attack. Jasons fingers where grasped around the handle to his whip. He aimed his focus right underneath Light, and summoned a Power Whip there, hitting the beast and causing it to stumble. With sleek movement, Jason lashed out with his hip, directly hitting Light. When it stood back up, it looked at Jason for a second before dashing out of the room. Exhaling, Jason slide off his bag, as he didn't need it at the moment - it would only slow him down. He began to trail the beast, making sure it left the house. His hair was filled with static electricity from the air alone, giving him an even crazier look. As he approached the front door, which was left open, he noticed Light walking up to someone familiar. Jason paused for a moment. Gray!? he said to himself, more then sightly ticked off now. "He better have a good reason, I swear to Arceus.." Jason walked out the door to Gray, just within whipping distance. "Hello there, leader" He said in a sarcastic tone.
==========
Light came to me as if it Has killed Tulip and the new guy.
Impossible... I saw no explosions... If light really wanted to kill them, It would have made a flashier sign. My train of thought has been interrupted by an unfamiliar voice.
"Hello there, leader" Is what has been heard. I looked up from light, gazing at this unknown man.
"Leader? Ah... You must be the new guy." I inferred as light jumped back into my body. As it had done so, I received all of its memories. Once the collection of thoughts have been gathered, I began walking towards Jason, closing the distance between us.
"To think that you would go up against Light... You must not know who you're dealing with. But don't worry, I'll deal with you later. Who I'm really looking for, Is Tulip. So... If you would..." I paused, Now in front of him. I place my hand on his shoulder.
"Out of my way." I demanded, Shoving him away from the door entrance with more than necessary force.
==========
"Leader? Ah... You must be the new guy."
Jason nodded as Gray walked up to him.
"To think that you would go up against Light... You must not know who you're dealing with. But don't worry, I'll deal with you later. Who I'm really looking for, Is Tulip. So... If you would..." Jason looked at him, then at his hand, which was placed on his shoulder. Suddenly, Jason felt himself pushed to the side. He lost his footing and fell to the ground. Jason grimaced. He placed his hand on the ground, and plantlife started growing from his hand towards Gray, stopping at his feet. Vines grew around his feet, and spread even farther. He slowly stood up, growing vines around his legs.
"You're not gonna touch her." He said, staring Gray in the eyes. He raised his whip hand, and went down and stroke Gray across the face.
==========
I tried to walk once he fell to the floor, However, plants were growing rapidly across my feet, entangling itself around me, stopping me in my tracks.
"You're not gonna touch her." Jason told me, followed by a lash from his whip.
It stung once the whipped struck my face. I imagine a red mark would appear across my face. This triggered my impulsive desire for bloodshed. I growled at Jason, infuriated by his desire to challenge me once I place my left hand across the part of my face that stung.
Little crackles of electric sparks snapped around me. I wasn't able to move, However, my lighting could. First I had to regain movement, otherwise I'm just subject to his whip, Suddenly a loud
BANG was heard across the city as a relatively large mass of lightning struck down from the sky onto my body, instantly frying the plants that held me down.
"Thunder." Is what I growled.
My eyes were locked with Jason's. His motive and mine were shown by our two different expression. His was to protect, mine was to
slaughter.
I began to charge myself up, slowly, as the Thunder I suddenly summoned took more power than was expected.
==========
"Thunder."
A lighting bolt struck down on Gray. Jason lost his balance, and vision became blurry. All he could focus on was the ringing in his ears. His heart beat against his chest as he covered his ears with his hands, which began to glow a light green. He was using Aromatherapy. His ears immediately lessened the ringing, enough for him to focus and think. Not only did Gray just summon a huge lightning bolt, but it looked like he was charging up another one. Jason regained his balance, and noticed that the vines that held down Gray were disintegrated. He had to stop him from charging somehow. He summoned a cloud of leaves, and sent them flying towards Gray. Hopefully this does the trick...
"Leaf Storm!" He yelled out, flicking his wrist towards Gray. A few hundred leaves followed his command, flying right at Gray.
==========
In order to avoid the in coming leaves, I had to halt my charge and focus on defense. All I needed was a little more power, So I let the tremendous amount of leaves, swallow me as I continued my surge for power.
"Tch."
Clean cuts were all I received from these incredibly sharp leaves, but now, I was ready. I soon became engulfed in a Blue sphere, which deflected the remaining leaves.
Once all the leaves were done coming at me, The sphere's light grew stronger and the Earth's magnetic field was being used to my advantage. The sphere of blue electricity, which held me, floated above the ground before hurling itself at Jason.
==========
Jason stared as Gray simply took the razor-sharp leaves, making it seem like they were just a simple nuisance. Jason continued to hail down leaves on Gray, hoping that the several cuts would take its toll. Jason stopped the assault when Grays body became engulfed in the blue sphere, and instead, readied several Power Whips right beside him. He started to walk away from Gray, as the further he was, the more time he'd have to aim his plan. The sphere began to levitate before hurling itself towards Jason. With a quick swing of his fist, the Power Whips all sprouted from the ground, slamming into the sphere with great force. While the vines disinterested, their power knocked Gray off his course and made him crash into Tulip's mansion.
Crouching low to the ground, Jason slowly approached the crash site, whip in hand. Smoke quickly replaced the air around. Tiny fires burned in Jason's generated terrain and in Tulip's house. Waving the smoke out of his face, Jason stood in the new, unwelcome entrance to Tulip's mansion. Crouching down, he slowly entered the newly decorated kitchen. The table was completely snapped in two and both pieces flung to the opposite side of room. The floor looks like the earth cracked right down to the middle. The whole room was in pieces - glass shattered, wood burning, etc. Jason's eyes followed the cracked earth, all the way to the end. This is where Gray laid, in the middle of a crater. A motion in the corner of his eye caught his attention. A woman, probably Tulip's mother. He motioned with his free hand for her to leave. When she ran away screaming, Jason turned back to Gray. His whip ready to strike, Jason walked towards Gray.
Things are only gonna get messier. He thought, lashing out with his whip and a Power Whip combo.
==========
My irritation soon became excitement.
I haven't fought like this in forever! I smack my hand on to the ground, and a strike of electricity deflected each strike Jason has made, However he deflected all my attacks as well... This was getting us nowhere, and I was becoming tired.
I leaped out of the hole, and activated my volt absorb ability, Dashing out of the destroyed kitchen. As I dashed around the non-destroyed parts of the house, the electricity that Tulip's parents had payed for was being absorbed by me.
==========
Jason cursed as Gray ran away from him. He better not be going for Tulip... he screamed inside his head. He slammed his hand so hard on the ground he heard a small crack, but he didn't even noticed - he was focused on protecting Tulip. Grass spread all over the house - faster then it's ever done before. Within a minute the whole house was covered in vines, flowers and other plants. I looked like Tulip's room took over. He's not getting out this time.
"STOP RUNNING, GRAY!" Jason screamed out. "OR I'LL MAKE YOU!" Jason walked calmly throughout the house, searching for Gray. As he searched, he noticed the lights getting dimmer and dimmer. Soon, he could ear the crunching of leaves just around the corner. He readied his attack when the lights completely went out - leaving Jason standing in the dark, no longer sure of his surroundings. He could still sense something just around the corner. Jason gulped as he slowly crept around the corner.
==========
Jason was surrounded in sheer darkness.
"Running? Me? Run from you?..." a voice echoed through the darkness. "To think you'd be dumb enough to follow me... Actually, You're stupid for fighting me." I told him, I stalked my prey from somewhere within the shadows.
I tap the walls lightly with my hand, Sending small electrical waves that lit up the room. And as it done, Vaguely Revealed behind the corner, was Light, staring into Jason's soul. Once Jason realized my plan, Light jumped up to him, Thunderfanging his arm.
==========
Screeching out in pain, Jason thrashed around, swinging his arm widely, trying to knock Light off his arm, to no avail. Attempting to punch the creature off, Jason swung with his good fist and immediately got shocked. Cursing at himself, Jason turn and ran towards a wall and smashed Light against it, and then summoning a power whip to wrap itself around light. Jason tried to pull his arm free, but the beast still held on. Biting his lip, he put his foot on the wall for pulling power, Jason yanked his arm free of the death drip. Tumbling onto the ground, Jason examined his wound. Not only did he not feel anything from paralysis. His skin and muscle torn, blood dripping down his arm. He glanced over at Light, who was struggling to get out of his trap.
"I've scared off this thing before!" Jason exclaimed towards the darkness. "Time to end it!" Jason summoned even more vines, wrapping themselves around Light. They began to tighten. "How long do you think it'll take before he pops?!"
==========
Jason continues to squeeze Light until it eventually bursts into tiny fragments of electricity. After remaining still on the ground for a few seconds in pieces, It slowly crossed the floor and made its way to my body, which was revealed due to its burst.
"Why do you continue to fight me?" I asked him, wanting to know. "I'm ready to end you once and for all..." I told him once I finished absorbing Light. I clenched my fists and as I did, Electricity blades formed on them.
I ran towards him, with my electric blades ready to stab him in the chest.
==========
"Why do you continue to fight me?" Gray asked him, but he remained silent. "I'm ready to end you once and for all..."
Jason backed away as Gray ran towards him, preparing for his attack. Jason nimbly dodged his strike for his chest, and continued to back up against the wall. He eyed Gray carefully, anticipating an attack. He took this time to answer. "Why? Because you threaten Tulip and I with your beast, and I'm not letting harm come to her." He spat towards Gray. "Scum like you shouldn't even be in her life."
He smirked while he said his next line. "Also, because you're pretty easy to fight."
==========
"I'm pretty easy to fight? So far, You've only been able to take down my beast... You're provocation is pathetic." I said to him as I pointed a finger at him.
Little sparks shot at him from my finger, but they weren't harmful. Instead, The sparks circled him, and made him float. I had then ran toward him after flicking my wrist, which send him crashing through the wall, landing on the ground outside of Tulips mansion.
I jumped out, landing near Him. He was still caged within my powerful Electricity.
==========
Shadow flew looked at the clouds toward Tulip's mansion, lightning was striking every now and the with with the sound of thunder. There was some wind and leaves flying around, probably due to a leaf storm. Noivern looked at Shadow with a questionable and worried look.
"Don't worry, I didn't train all day yesterday with Lucario for nothing." Shadow said.
Shadow held his hands and front of him balled into fists, touching one another. He moved them apart. With a glowing blue light, a massive bone club formed.
"I learned Bone Rush for this exact purpose. To counter Gray if it came to it. Hopefully I don't have to use it on him, but if he is angry, I will be forced to use it."
At that moment, a lightning bolt tried to strike Shadow, but quickly he blocked the lightning with the bone. The bone grounded out the lightning.
"Noivern, head lower. We are too high at the moment." Shadow announced.
Noivern agreed as the descended.
He could see destruction from the sky that was caused by a battle between Gray and Jason. He looked down, not seeing Tulip involved. "Good, looks like she got away."
Then he could see destruction of the mansion.
"Damn those idiots!" Shadow yelled.
He quickly looked around the ground to see if he could spot the two idiots who were destroying a mansion, not caring for anyone who remained. He spotted them. Jason was caged by Gray's power, and seemed to be floating. He saw Gray near him, possible getting ready to finish Jason off. Shadow let some of Pure Power out as he got closer. A dark aura covered his body, but his eyes didn't change color as he didn't allow that much power out.
Finally he got to them. He clenched the massive bone in his hand and jumped off Noivern above them.
"ENOUGH!" Shadow yelled as he came down hard on the ground with a dragon pulse that he used to land with enough force and energy to break the two apart. The dragon typed explosion created a small crater in the ground and sent a shockwave all around him, blowing smaller trees that were close by over and blowing out all of the ground floor windows out that were also close by. He landed in a squat.
Shadow then stood up in the center of the small, shallow crater, anger in his eyes.
"Are you two insane!? Do you not care about ANYONE in the mansion!? Tulip's family may be gone. But what about all the maids and butlers!?" Shadow yelled, glaring at both of them, clenching the large bone in an even tighter clench.
==========
"Are you two insane!? Do you not care about ANYONE in the mansion!? Tulip's family may be gone. But what about all the maids and butlers!?"
"Oh? Look who's decided to join the Fray... Shadow... Nice of you to join us, I'm about to kill off this insolent fool. Care to lend me a hand?" I asked him, expecting him to finish him off with me.
==========
I looked at Gray as if he had gone mad.
"No. I am here to stop you two. There is no reason for any of this. This is stupid and a waste of our power. You don't have to kill every single person you fight. Both of you are reckless."
Shadow said walking out of the crater toward Gray, "Back down Gray. You can't beat me. Not now. If you want to kill him, your going to have to go through me. I am not taking sides, but I am not going to allow you to hurt allies. I said it was up to you to choose if you want him in the group. But I will not allow you to kill him. I will break both of you if you continue and I will drag you back to the house Arryn got for us to keep us safe from those that may watching."
Shadow looked back at Jason who was still trapped and then back at Gray. Shadow's speed boost had been rising even though he wasn't actively moving till now.
==========
"Back down Gray. You can't beat me. Not now. If you want to kill him, your going to have to go through me. I am not taking sides, but I am not going to allow you to hurt allies. I said it was up to you to choose if you want him in the group. But I will not allow you to kill him. I will break both of you if you continue and I will drag you back to the house Arryn got for us to keep us safe from those that may watching." Is what he said to me, Threatening me.
"A bold statement... Hmph, If you do as you say, Do you really think you can handle me when I get better? I may be weak now, Because of my fight with Jason, But I remember things... And I'll remember what you've done to me. You'll end up like that weakling in the cage." I said to Shadow as I pointed to Jason.
"So, Lets see what you'll do!!" I said to him, charging for an attack as I ran to him. My body felt heavy, My vision was hazed, I was weakening.
==========
"You're a fool." Shadow spat as Gray charged at him.
Shadow quickly took a baseball batting stance with the giant bone in his hands he had formed with the move bone rush. Gray got in range and Shadow swung the bone hard, crashing into Gray's right side, sending him flying off toward the woods. Shadow quickly ran where Gray was flying toward, getting there before Gray did with speed boost. Shadow swung the bone again, crashing into Gray again, sending him back toward where he had come from. Shadow used speed boost one final time and stopped at the crater he at formed when he arrived. He held the giant bone over his head and brought it down hard into Gray's stomach and slammed him into the ground, creating a larger crater. Dust and rock exploded form the impact and starred down at Gray who was laying on the ground.
"I told you I would break you and you failed to listen. If you ever try to attack me in the future, I will fight. I will protect this group form anyone and everyone, even if that is you Gray." Shadow said.
Shadow walked away from Gray and was now between both Jason and Gray.
"Imagine if Arryn or Tulip, Anna or Rex were in here. They would have been caught it the destruction that both of you caused. You could have hurt wild pokemon, harmless people, friends, family. Anyone! Look around! Look at the destruction you two caused. All of it is pointless! Can we honestly afford to be fighting one another!? We have maniacs after us for Arceus sake! Yet you two have a petty fight when we are allies! We need all the help we can get and fighting amongst ourselves will get us all killed! Remember who the true enemy is! I am no leader, but will keep the peace between us. And if I have to break every single bone in your body, I will." Shadow finished, letting his power settle down.
"Luckily I was able to tell Tulip to leave in time. She should be waiting for us back at the house." Shadow said as he looked at both Gray and Jason.
==========
Gray has been knocked out. The bone that Shadow used was super effective, dealing more than what it should have done.
Shadow has fainted due to loss of stamina.
The fight between Gray and Jason has been ended by Shadow.
