Aeolos dodged to the right. He completely avoid Thomas's sword. He had a look of irritation on his face as he thought. "She got away... This is all my fault. I should've just said Jason when I had the chance. Why was I trying to choose between the two of them? That is so stupid of..."
Thomas yelled out angrily as he swung the sword, in his right hand, diagonally from right to left. "Don't forget you're still facing me!"
Aeolos took a step backward with his rear foot, his left foot, and followed with his lead foot, his right foot. He managed to completely avoid Thomas's attack again. He then looked at Thomas and said. "I haven't forgotten. I just have more important things to focus on."
Thomas mumbled to himself. "More important?" He shouted angrily. "You're just as arrogant as that bastard Jason! That arrogance is going to be the death of you!" He grabbed the handle of his sword with both of his hands. He raised his sword up and then swung it down vertically.
Aeolos quickly moved his left knife upwards. He then parried the sword before it could even come into contact with him. He quickly plunged his right knife into Thomas's left side.
Thomas staggered backward away from Aeolos. The tip of his sword hit the ground as he held the handle of his sword with both of his hands. He looked down at the knife in his left side and then looked up at Aeolos again.
Aeolos looked at Thomas and said. "Are you finished? That woman took Jason to your Headquarters, right? Tell me how to get in there!"
Thomas chuckled at first and then began laughing. He grabbed the hilt of the knife stuck in his left side with his left hand. His right hand remained on the hilt of his sword.
Aeolos had a surprised expression on his face as he said. "Wait! What are you doing?!"
Thomas said in a menacing tone. "Did you really think you had beaten me, you little bastard?" He tightened his grip on the knife.
Aeolos had a worried expression on his face. He reached out his right hand as he yelled out. "Wait! Don't do it! You'll bleed out!"
Thomas ripped the knife out of his left side with his left hand. He winced in pain. Blood completely soaked his armor on his left side. He raised his left hand upwards as he examined the blood coated, black knife and mumbled. "What is this made of...? It pierced my armor so easily..."
Aeolos smirked as he said. "Now do you understand? You can't beat me. Surrender. You've lost."
Thomas looked at the knife in his left hand and then looked at the sword in his right hand. He raised his right hand upwards which in turn raised the blade of his sword up off of the ground. He then spun it around so the tip of the blade faced the sky.
Aeolos thought with worry. "Is he still going to try and fight in his condition?!"
Thomas raised his right hand up and bent his right arm. He put his sword back on his back.
Aeolos sighed with relief as he thought. "Good. It looks like he is going to surrender after-"
Before Aeolos could finish his thoughts Thomas dashed toward him with the blood coated black knife in his left hand.
Thomas shouted out. "Did you really think this was over?" He tossed the knife to his right hand and then swung the blade of the knife horizontally toward Aeolos's chest.
Aeolos quickly jumped backwards to avoid Thomas's attack but his armor managed to get scratched.
Thomas chuckled and said. "Why would I end the fight so early when you just gave me the weapon I need to kill you?!" He laughed loudly with a sadistic tone.
Aeolos landed on the ground. He thought with annoyance. "I guess this is what I get for being nice. I was just going to injure him a little and then patch him up once the fight was over." He tightened his grip on his knife in his left hand and thought. "But, he is too persistent. I don't really want to... but I might just have to kill him!"
Thomas charged toward Aeolos. He swung the knife diagonally from right to left toward Aeolos.
Aeolos raised up his left hand and blocked the attack with his knife.
Thomas swung the knife horizontally toward Aeolos's neck but Aeolos immediately blocked it.
Thomas quickly moved his knife down by his right side and then swung his knife in an upward diagonal strike toward Aeolos.
Aeolos took one step forward with his left foot and then immediately blocked Thomas's diagonal strike as he pushed forward.
Thomas was thrown off balance. He attempted to prevent his body from falling toward the ground.
Aeolos quickly dashed forward toward Thomas. Right before Thomas could readjust his balance Aeolos grabbed Thomas by his face with his left hand and slammed him into the ground. He quickly jammed his left knee into Thomas's right wrist and his right knee into Thomas's chest. He removed his right hand from Thomas's face and grabbed Thomas's left shoulder. He held his knife, in his left hand, by Thomas's neck.
Aeolos said sternly to Thomas. "Are you going to give up now? You can't beat me. Tell me how to get in your Headquarters!"
Thomas chuckled and said. "Even if you manage to get in you won't be able to get out!"
Aeolos said while confused. "Huh? What is that supposed to mean?"
Thomas said. "Both of the SGs are there." He chuckled again as he said. "Even if you manage to escape one... you won't be able to escape the other one!" He laughed loudly.
Aeolos mumbled to himself with a mix of both shock and fear. "Both The Order Bringer... and The Chaos Bringer... will be there...?!"
Thomas began to laugh louder than before as he looked at Aeolos. He smirked as he said. "I heard The Empress might even be there too. She is supposed to visit soon." He laughed sadistically.
Utter shock filled Aeolos's face. He lowered his knife away from Thomas's neck. He thought with intense fear and shock. "The Empress... might be there...?!"
Thomas grabbed Aeolos's right side with his left hand. He trapped Aeolos's right leg with his left leg. He then rolled Aeolos over and their positions switched.
Aeolos's back landed on the ground as well as his arms and legs.
Thomas immediately jammed his left knee into Aeolos's chest and his right knee into Aeolos's wrist which prevented Aeolos from using his knife. He looked down at Aeolos and smirked sadistically as he said mockingly. "Are you finally going to give up? You can't beat me. You've lost." He laughed sadistically as he sat on top of Aeolos's chest.
Aeolos had an irritated expression on his face as he looked up at Thomas and thought. "He managed to switch our positions..."
Thomas continued laughing as he said. "This result was obvious from the start. Even if you are a Slasher, you're just some pitiful low ranked Slasher. No matter how hard you tried you never would have defeated me. Among all the Half-Slashers I'm the second most powerful! I'm number twenty six! The Reaper's Blade!"
