Freccio Vs Theseus

Within an instant Freccio's laugh turned into pure silence, his face was as serious as it could get and his eyes began to glow even brighter, he grabbed his bow and loaded it with ten arrow and shot them in every direction, this costed a lot of mental stress on Theseus as now he had to dodge even more projectiles and any wrong move could lead to his second death, not only that but Kancer was a target as well.

"Think Theseus! Use your knowledge to push through!" Many arrows grazed him, there seemed to be about fifteen of them and not one of them targeted Kancer, Freccio only saw Theseus as his opponent and although it may seem grim, our protagonist will prevail, he would dodge each and every one of them, he would dodge to the side, a jumping spin between two of them into dropping to the ground rolling around whilst carrying his spear around, Freccio then released a volley of five more arrows seeming to be the limit.

Though Theseus was not one to stay on the defensive forever, at the right moment and at the right time, he would use another one of his moves, he quickly crouched down twice and attacked causing spears made of pure light to fall down on whichever location he wanted, and as Freccio looked up it was too late, the volley of arrows stopped and a dust cloud formed, "Did that? Work?"

As the cloud dissipated, Freccio could be seen hurt but nothing fatal "Not bad Theseus not bad at all, you know we could really use someone like you, why not join us? I clearly have the upper hand right now no?" He used his hand to put his hair back showing off his smirk.

"Team up? With you? Why the hell would I do that you crazed maniac." He held is spear tighter and seemed uncertain.

"Well why not? Do you even know what are goals are? What we're trying to achieve?" Freccio's words were more and more charismatic.

"N-Not really… but… hm…" He began to doubt himself. "Well go on then, what are your goals." His grip on his spear lessened.

"Look at our symbol, it signifies what we believe in, none of us had anything from birth yet we wanted it all…" His heart ached and his face showed it. "Is it so wrong for the poor to simply want more? We've all had a tough background but finally we feel… Alive… We don't usually kill and we target those that are rich and keep whatever they have for ourselves whilst helping those who have cared for us and even bothered to enter our lives, so now I ask you… Theseus… What do you think of us?" He reaches his hand out to him, hoping that he would join him.

"Geez, you guys seem like fine people alright, and I get your goal and all it makes sense, but I'm not like you, I was raised by a loving family, and you know what? I dropped all of that, I had a great life with them sure but, I just want to pursue my dream, and sure my dream and your goals align but… The Boss was kind enough to help me out, not only that but he seems to have a lot of influence and he's human like me, I'm very confident that if I keep staying by his side my dream will come true." Theseus saw far beyond Freccio, to him this was just a stepping stone towards his dream, even though he was near death many times, he grew accommodated to it.

"How about we make a bet then?" Freccio smiled confidently.

"A bet?" Theseus grew curious.

"Yes, if you win this battle and none of us die, then I'll join you and your dream, and if I win you join our cause and help us out, what do you think?"

"Who said I want you on my team? You just killed my colleague! I was just getting to know him too!" He really wanted to throw his spear straight into his throat.

"Woah woah, he should've been stronger no? And if he lost that quickly then he probably wasn't that helpful for your dream, listen, this is about us okay? No one else, or do you think you'll lose? Is that it?" Freccio had a condescending smile and his eyes were almost enchanting

"Beat you? That won't be an issue, fine then, lets get on with this bet." He swung his spear around him as if it were as light as a feather, whilst in the back of his mind "I will win, no matter what it takes or however I must strain my body, I will be as patient as needed and I will see everything he'll throw at me, it's not a matter of maybe or ifs, I will win, simple as."

Freccio repeated his attacks from earlier as they were working, he sent all twenty of his arrows towards Theseus all in different directions, Theseus merely smiled as he knew just the thing that would work, though he mainly saw it in a video game, he was certain it could work in real life as well, he crouched down twice quickly and moved back, this made him twirly his spear all around him deflecting all the arrows that could have come in contact with him, and the best part was, he could do this whilst walking straight to his opponent.

"What now Freccio? Is all you can do shoot arrows?" Theseus smiled proudly.

"No not really." He recalled all of his arrows and smashed them into the ground so hard it caused large sized rocks lifted up into the air, immediately he did a jumping spin kick aiming them directly at Theseus using his Second Wind.

"Arrows aren't my only tool you know." The rocks broke through Theseus's defensive and pushed him back even farther away than where he was.

"I'm getting bored of this, I think it's about time to end things." Freccio runs straight towards Theseus with his bow on his back intending to fight him straight on with just his fists.

Theseus annoyed reciprocated this and charged straight at him, they began to clash with one another, Theseus dodging, weaving, and blocking most of his attacks, he tried jabbing at Theseus missing most but utilized his arrows to shorten his recovery time even more, with every failed hit an arrow would appear at the right spot where he could counter attack him from, Freccio was clearly skilled in close range combat as well as long ranged, Theseus heavily misjudged him, and with the Zoner type, things were looking bleak as time went by.

"What's wrong Theseus? You must attack eventually." Freccio would taunt him over and over again, but Theseus was focused, so focused in fact he forgot to close his mouth, his eyes were wide open, it was if his body was given one simple command 'Dodge' and so he did, that is until he knew for sure he could hit him back, Freccio kept attacking, he would try leg sweeps, jabs, right hooks and left hooks, uppercuts even but to no avail, and just when the time was right, where everything in the whole world itself seemed to fit perfectly, he saw it, the perfect opening, whilst Freccio was recovering his stamina and his arrow appeared to be weaker by one percent, that was all he needed, he jabbed his spear deep into his stomach as he spat out blood and lost control of his body.

"Good, this is how things should be." Theseus looked down on him, as if he were more inferior than an ant, Freccio walked backwards holding onto the spear in distraught. "P-Please! Don't kill me!" He pleaded.

"Sure." he approached him with the intent to grab his spear back, but in that moment something was odd "Kidding" He smiled yet again, he not only set up a field of arrows around Theseus, he punched his chest with all his might and using his Second Wind and a couple arrows he sent him to the very end of the room.

"Never look down on your opponent Theseus, let this be an important lesson, you seem to have doubt how high our pain tolerance is." He took the spear out and in a blinding flash the wound was healed.

Theseus suffered a great concussion in his head, not only that but he had three arrows stuck inside of him. "YOU LYING BASTARD IM GOING TO KILL YOU." He quickly got up and whilst running towards him, his body felt as if it weighed double if not triple his normal weight and collapsed into the floor.

"Kill huh, speaking of, our bet only works if the loser lives no? How about we change that?" Freccio walked up to the defeated Theseus, all he could do was look at him in the eyes from below.
