Two Becomes One Part 3

"I will drain your light and kill you and Stella!" Bushido said. "This battle will decide your final judgement!"

The area turned into an open battlefield and me and Sazuka looked around. Bushido laughed and his dark aura surged powerfully. My sword shined and I looked at it then Bushido.

"Bushido will kill them!" Su Yi said.

"They will win..Sazuka is one of the greatest Samurai of the Empire. Her skills will play a huge part in the battle. Have a little faith." The Seven Moons glowed.

Sazuka bellowed and dashed to Bushido. She slashed and Bushido parried her attack and kicked her away into me. I caught her and slid back. Bushido dashed to us and slashed with his sword. I summoned a barrier over ourselves and the contact of his sword shattered the barrier. We were blown away then crashed on the ground. Sazuka slowly got up and her pink eyes shined. Bushido's black aura surged more.

"I won't allow you to defeat us!" Sazuka bellowed and dashed towards Bushido again then slashed.

I could only stand and watch Sazuka fight. My body wouldn't move and I could only guess why. I was scared. I didn't know how to fight Bushido..he is a god compared to me and Sazuka. Bushido parried Sazuka's attacks and slashed down then blew her away. Sazuka slid on her knee and exhaled. She got up and ran at him again, but the same result occured.

"Your Ally is extremely useless.." Bushido laughed. "Stella becoming my vessel is proved to be easier than I thought."

"Stella, get your head out of your ass! This is a battle that could cost our entire world! You have to fight past your fear!" Sazuka said.

"I-I.." I couldn't even make out a sentence and my foot thumped. I was nervous and scared.

"She's a nervous wreck. Just lay down your blades and let this end the easy way. She's gonna die anyway before reaching Su Yi. Even if you manage to kill me, my curse will still exist in her." Bushido laughed.

This was the first time in forever that I was this scared. I didn't know what I could possibly do then Sazuka walked over and slapped my cheek.

"Get a hold of yourself! You are the most important person in Arcania right now! You have no time to be like this! Your life decides if these people live or die! If you die, everyone in Arcania dies!" Sazuka yelled.

I touched my cheek and my eyes glowed a bit. She looked at me and I averted my eyes towards her.

"I'm scared too...I could piss my panties at any moment...but I have to fight and you should too! This is your battle also..! Come on Stella! Fight! This is the one moment that we need you to fulfill your desire to...KILL!" Sazuka yelled.

'Kill...' I thought to myself.

Everything went black for a moment. Kill...Fulfill my desire...to kill...Those words echoed in my head and my markings on my body shined brightly and emitted dark aura. My aura surged wildly and my eyes shined a bright gold then my body dashed towards Bushido. I slashed and clashed with Bushido and sparks flew. We clashed multiple times before Bushido blew me away. Sazuka nodded and dashed towards Bushido.

"Kill... Fulfill my desire to kill!" I yelled and I adjusted my body and blitz towards Bushido.

Sazuka and I slashed at the same time and managed to blow Bushido away. I dashed towards Bushido and sweep kicked him off his feet then appeared above him and my eyes widened and emitted dark aura then I kicked him down. Bushido crashed to the ground then recovered and jumped back. Sazuka was shocked by my abilities. I landed and my hair covered my eyes then my Vesper Argentum appeared in front of me.

"Vesper Argentum..?" Sazuka asked.

"You can't damage me with that blade you idiot!" Bushido laughed.

I summoned a scabbard and wore it on my back and slid Vesper Argentum into the scabbard. I smirked and giggled.

"You think I'd be stupid enough to strike you with a useless weapon..? All my other abilities of Vesper Argentum are nullified but one thing that isn't when equipped is the element I gain. I now have access to the dark and light element." I said.

"That's right, the element you gain from a weapon isn't an ability, it's a passive addition." Sazuka said.

"And you think that's gonna make a difference?" Bushido asked.

"A huge difference.." I said and looked at him.

I dashed towards him then slashed. He clashed with me and grunted. The light element burns Bushido. Sazuka dashed towards him also and slashed. We attacked him at different times, applying extra pressure. Bushido grabbed my neck and threw me in the air. I flipped in the air and stopped then threw my sword at him. He dodged the sword then was struck by Sazuka. He slid back and summoned a huge ball of black matter.

"Omega Flux!" He bellowed and threw the ball of black matter at us.

Sazuka slashed and a beam of light emerged from her sword, but was drained by the Omega Flux. She was shocked and barely dodged the attack. I landed on the ground and the move vanished before it reached me. Sazuka stood up and looked at Bushido.

"Bushido has way too much defense and stamina.." Sazuka said.

"Partially my fault because I mainly defeated soldiers who had great defense and stamina. My Vesper Argentum's abilities are nullified so I can't use Ignore Parameters. If I could, we would have an easier time." I said.

"Let's not focus on that now. We have to find out a way to break past his defense and stamina.." Sazuka said.

"I will use my Seven Suns Mist! It makes the enemy highly vulnerable to light element attacks! You need to deal some massive damage once it connects!" I dashed towards Bushido and my sword glowed.

"Right!" Sazuka nodded and dashed after me.

"Seven Suns Mist...fine, I'll use it also." Bushido dashed towards me.

"Master Skill: Seven Suns Mist!" We both said and slashed through each other.

Sazuka stopped and heard five clashes. I grunted fell on one knee. Sazuka gasped. Bushido chuckled then groaned as there was a cut on his chest and a bit of blood sprayed.

"Gotcha.." I smirked.

"You bastard..." Bushido grunted.

"Sazuka now!" I yelled.

"Master Skill: Sakura Saint!" Sazuka bellowed then her sword glowed and she slashed five times, hitting Bushido all five times.

Bushido groaned loudly. I stood up and saw Sazuka not deal the final blow. I looked at her.

"I cannot deal the final blow to him. It has to be you Stella. Your blade can kill Bushido. My blade won't kill Bushido." Sazuka said.

I nodded and walked to Bushido and went for the final blow then Bushido countered my attack and kicked me away. I crashed into Sazuka and we grunted.

"You think that will be enough to stop me?! I won't be killed by a mere ant! You will die by my blade!" Bushido bellowed. "My ability Unholy Divinity finally awakens. It activates when I'm near death..I gain an immunity to light elements and--"

"How f*cking convenient you gain an immunity to light elements!" I said.

"Right?! We did all this work just for you to heal up and be like 'Oh now I'm immune to the one thing I was heavily weak against'!" Sazuka said.

Su Yi was biting her nails, nervous. She looked at Seven Moons and the Seven Moons glowed faintly.

"They will still win. Bushido is one strike away from death. His weak spot is wide open. They just need to strike the core on his chest and he will die." The Seven Moons said.

"Yeah but what about the curse..? The only way she can get rid of it is by acquiring you. Will she make it in two days? It's nearly been one day already...by the time they finish she would only have one day left.." Su Yi said.

"...." The Seven Moons was silent. "There is no definite way to know if she will make it here..before she dies due to the curse."

"Lunaris.." Su Yi said.

"There aren't any magic circles in these last five trials and that means there is no way for her to stop the curse from eating away at her life force." The Seven Moons glowed.

I looked at Bushido and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Mom...what would you do in this situation..?" I said to myself then a faint voice spoke to me.

"The Heavenless Bushi Technique." The voice whispered by my ear.

"Heavenless Bushi...?" I opened my eyes and looked around.

"Saying your final prayers before you die Stella?" Bushido laughed.

"It's worth a shot.." I said and got in a stance. My body adjusted itself to do the Heavenless Bushi Technique.

The Heavenless Bushi Technique is a technique my mom came up with. She was originally supposed to teach it to me. It is a one chance, one strike, final resort type of attack. If it lands a direct attack and a decisive blow, it will kill the opponent and drain their life force. This Technique is a Grand Assassin Technique and a Lunia Royal Exclusive attack.

"What are you doing?" Sazuka asked.

"Heavenless Bushi Technique...my mother's signature technique. She's teaching it to me through this battle. This will be the last I'll hear from my mother..so I will make this attack count!" I said.

"Come try your luck! You will fail!" Bushido laughed.

"Sazuka...buy me some time..." I said.

Sazuka nodded and dashed towards Bushido. He slashed and released a powerful blade beam and Sazuka slashed through it. Bushido kept sending blade beams towards Sazuka and Sazuka slashed through all of them then slashed at Bushido's legs. He grunted and swung his body in a circle and hit Sazuka and she was sent crashing into a pillar and slid down. I dashed towards Bushido and bellowed. My dark aura surged and sparkled. My mother's spirit was with me for this final strike.

"This is the end for you! Heavenless Bushi Technique!" I bellowed.

"That's what you think you fool!" Bushido went to parry my attack.

I flicked then vanished and reappeared after he missed his parry and shoved my sword through his core and the room turned normal and the entire room began to be filled with a bright light. I looked around and saw my mother and father and little brother. They were holding hands and smiled at me then waved and walked into the distance then I saw Zheng Yi and he smirked and walked off.

"You're one hell of a unit sister...you better not die..I don't want to find you rotting in hell with me. You should be with mother and father and our little brother..in paradise. You better stay alive. The last thing you need is to be rotting with me." Zheng Yi turned around and looked at me. "Oh yeah, one more thing. Don't trust the Empire...They are the real masterminds behind Mother's death..I was apart of it also. Protect Arcania, but rebuild your empire. That is all."

Zheng Yi walked away and the light vanished and I released the sword and gained an extra day of living. Bushido fell to his knees and chuckled lowly as blood came from is mouth.

"Killed by the very sword I created...and killed with that pathetic...technique. It doesn't matter...the curse still lingers...you will die soon. You will have a spot next to me in hell." Bushido laughed softly.

"In your dreams...see you never...Seventh King of Arcania." I ripped the sword from his chest and wiped the blood from it.

Bushido slowly faded away into dark particles and a ring appeared in his place, full of holy light. I walked to it and picked it up. I slipped it on my left hand and the markings on my body vanished completely, but the symbol on my cheek stayed as it was permanent engraved on my face.

"That ring...is the last hint of purity...Bushido kept hidden..." Sazuka stumbled towards me. "Bushido..once was the Savior of Arcania...but his desires to kill..overtook him. That ring rids his influence on you completely..but doesn't get rid of the curse."

A magic circle appeared in front of us. We looked at it and stepped on it and we were fully recovered. I couldn't stop thinking about what Zheng Yi said. The Empire...actually did plan to kill mom and succeeded...they weren't neutral ground at all. They were completely one sided. I looked at the sword and nodded.

"I'll see you soon, Stella. I won't be holding anything back in our battle." She walked off. I watched her leave and took a step forward.

"Thank you." I said.

Sazuka raised a hand and vanished in a beam of light. I smiled a bit then looked at the door. I walked down the stairs and continued my way towards Su Yi.
