Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  Karol: "Nafan-"

  Nathan: "He's different, Karol." *He spoke with his deep voice, alerting Karol of the danger.*

  Karol: *He nodded his head and hesitated, before silently dancing behind Nathan.* "Defence Up."

  Nathan: *He looked down, noticing a blue sigil-like glyph glow underneath him.* (Okay-)

  Luna: *She pulled the string to her lightning made bow and aimed for Tyson's ear with heightened vision.* (To be honest, I still don't know how this Astragong stuff fully works, but all I know, is the feelin' to every single thing-)

  *An arrow made of wind suddenly shined brighter than normal, catching Tyson, Nathan and Karol's attention.*

  Luna: (I'm placin' heaps of Newgongs in this!) "Lunar Gale." *She released the string and her long white hair instantly blew back, as the arrow fired with incredible power.*

  Tyson: *He slowly faced the arrow and watched it suddenly ram in front of him, causing a saw-like screech to be heard.* "Another failure?"

  Luna: *She watched the arrow shred into dust-like particles, before spiralling around Tyson and disappearing.* "Fuck!"

  Nathan: "Could you please make me another sword?"

  Karol: "Ohkay!"

  Tyson: "Do you think I'll let you?" *He frowned and waved his hand, causing a violent pulse of wind to cut into the ground around him.*

  Nathan: "Do it!-"

  Tyson: "Florian Step." *His image appeared behind Karol and he watched Karol dance on the spot, as a purplish-black glyph spiralled underneath him.*

  Luna: (He blocked my attack! It effin' drained me, aye.) *She sighed in thought, keeping a fixated stare on Tyson, who just stood on the spot.*

  Nathan: *He noticed the cuts around Tyson in confusion.* (What attack was that?)

  Luna: *She glanced to the side and noticed another copy of Tyson standing behind Karol.* "Oi!-" *She screamed and pointed at Tyson, trying to draw Karol and Nathan's attention towards him.*

  Tyson: *He smirked, as things moved in slow motion around him.* (Without you, he can't use weapons-) *He violently punched his fist into Karol's back and awkwardly leant forward, as his hand burst through Karol's chest.*

  Nathan: "Karol!"

  Luna: "Holy fuckin', Karol!" *They screamed and shouted at the top of their lungs.*

  Karol: "Kgh-" *He stopped dancing and dropped his arms.*

  Tyson: "Fufufu." *He slowly pulled his hand out of Karol's body, watching blood stream and spill next to his feet.*

  Nathan: (There was two copies?!)

  Karol: "..." *He fell face first towards the ground.*

  Nathan: *He flashstepped next to Karol and caught him before he touched the ground.* "Karol!"

  Tyson: "I'm not messing around." *A green glyph flashed underneath him.* "FLURRY STYX"

  *A swirl of green air condensed itself around Tyson hand, forming itself into a ball.*

  Tyson: "You're next, dirty lamp!" *He threw the ball of wind towards Nathan's head.*

  Nathan: "Karol?!"

  Tyson: (With his defences completely negated, this will break his-) *An arrow of light shot the ball of wind, exploding a swirl of air in between Nathan, Karol and Tyson.*

  Nathan: *His hair rapidly flapped back.* (What can I do?!) *He helplessly watched Karol slip in and out of consciousness, causing him to completely ignore Tyson.*

  Tyson: *He waved to the side, blowing away the swirling wind.* (With this beetle, my Astragons are far more denser than normal, allowing me easier manipulation of the currents.)

  Luna: "Stay the fuck away from 'em!"

  Tyson: *He frowned at Luna.* "Foul mouthed, scum."

  Luna: "Time for some fuckin' Rostickal!" *She screamed at Tyson and crossed her arms in front of her face, causing a yellow glyph to flicker underneath her.*

  Karol: "Nafan..."

  Nathan: "Stop talking, conserve your Neurons."

  Karol: "I can't feel my body."

  Nathan: *He shook his head.* (He's lost a lot of blood. This is just like the time his neck broke!-. Lezard! I need to get him to Lezard-)

  Karol: *He coughed blood on to Nathan's arm.* "I'm sckared."

  Nathan: *He smirked with watering eyes.* "Men don't get scared, right?"

  Karol: "I'ma... I'ma..." *He struggled to breathe.*

  Nathan: (There's too much blood-) *He paused with widening eyes.* "Blood!"

  Luna: "LIGHTNING STRIKE" *She raised one arm and dropped it, cueing a thick lightning stream to flash through the upper branches and to strike directly into Tyson's shoulder.*

  Tyson: *He froze and twitched in shock and quickly shouted with fear.* "FLORIAN DRIVER"

  *The consistent stream of lightning flowing into Tyson's shoulder suddenly broke and swirled around him.*

  Tyson: *Vein-like burns appeared on his face.* (She knew Rostical?! I thought she was an Elemental User! This can't be possible-)

  Luna: *She stepped out of her attacking pose, causing the lightning to burst into tiny yellow particles, before floating upwards.* (Shit, that was awesome-)

  *Luna focused on Nathan holding Karol, as he continued to ignore Tyson.*

  Luna: "Oi!-" *She sprinted towards Nathan.*

  Tyson: *He watched Luna dive down and tightly held Karol in Nathan's arms.* (How is she an Elementalist, but can use Rostical?)

  Luna: "Oi, you little shit!" *She screamed at Karol.*

  Karol: *He watched Soul Links sway out of Nathan and Luna.* "They won't touch."

  Luna: "Wat won't touch-?"

  Nathan: "Hi-Ougi!"

  Luna: "High Owgee?"

  Nathan: "Hi-Ougi!" *He shouted at Karol.*

  Karol: "I don't fink I kan do it." *He spoke with no emotion, as if he was tired from exhaustion.*

  Nathan: "Hi-Ougi me, Karol!"

  Karol: "Bhut-" *He used all his strength to reach for the swaying Soul Links.* "I-"

  *The ribbon-like Soul Links swayed around Karol's hand, causing a speck of surprise to fill his eyes.*

  Karol: (I kan touch them?) *He raised his other arm and reached towards Luna's Soul Link, readying to connect it to Nathan's.*

  Luna: *She looked at Nathan with watering eyes.* "Why do you want him to High Owgee?"

  Nathan: "When we fought before, his wounds were healed when he went into that Astral state."

  Luna: "I don't reckon he can, aye." *She sniffed with emotion, completely ignoring Tyson.*

  Tyson: (Should I immobilise her and take her back to the Consultant once I kill the man?) *He listened to a discreet swirl of wind.*

  Karol: *He coughed out blood and continued to reach for Luna's Soul Link.* (I'm nearly there!)

  Nathan: *He frowned, unsure what to do.* (I don't have a weapon, going to Lezard is too far away, he can't use Blood Bath...)

  Tyson: (Oh well-) *He sighed and spread his arms, causing a violent ripple of wind to cut the ground around him.* "Florian Step."

  Luna: *She looked up to Tyson, watching bark splinter in the wind.* (It made that sound before-)

  Tyson: *He stepped forward and disappeared, appearing directly over Nathan.* "FLURRY STYX"

  Luna: *She looked to the side, watching Tyson's fist move towards the back of Nathan's head in slow motion.* (Just like Karol!-) "Nathan!-"

  Nathan: *He ignored another image of Tyson who stood behind him.* "Karol!-"

  Tyson: *He smirked at Karol, who lifelessly tried to grab the air front of Luna.* (He's dead!-)

  Karol: *He grabbed Luna's Soul Link and before he could connect it into Nathan's, all three gasped, followed by an explosion of red, thick clouds.* "Kagh!-"

  Nathan: "Ah!-"

  Luna: "Wat the-?!"

  Karol, Nathan, Luna: "Hi-Ougi." *Their voices echoed.*

  *The thick cloud pushed Tyson's fist back over his shoulder, causing him to stumble back on one foot.*

  Tyson: "What the Neurons-?!" *The cloud suddenly exploded, pushing bark and Tyson away from the mysterious red.*

  *The area slightly darkened and the trees stopped moving in the constant wind, catching Tyson's atte
ntion.*

  Tyson: (Did I strike the back of his head?) *He raised his fist and noticed broken skin around his knuckles.* (I've hit something-)

  ?????: "That was close."

  Tyson: *He looked at the red cloud, towards the sounds of a man's relaxed and calm voice.* (Is that the same gentleman?)

  ?????: "Are you okay?"

  Tyson: "Are you seriously asking if I'm okay?! What a joke!" *He smiled with anger and focused, causing a green glyph to materialise underneath him.*

  ?????: "We were weak, but together-... How is this possible?"

  Tyson: "FLURRY STYX" *He threw a green ball of air towards the red cloud, blowing it away, leaving a man standing proudly, covered in blood.*

  ?????: *He looked up and faced Tyson, forming fists.* "You will pay."

  Tyson: *He looked around the man in confusion.* "You're the same man with the swords."

  Nathan: *He chuckled.* "You're observant."

  Tyson: "Where did the boy and girl go?" *He looked towards the edge of the branch they stood on.* "Perhaps they fell off? I wanted to keep the woman-"

  Nathan: "They're with me." *He spread his arms and closed his eyes.*

  Tyson: "With you?"

  Nathan: "You okay?"

  Karol: (Yheah!)

  Luna: (Fuck yes!) *Their voices echoed inside Nathan's mind.*

  Nathan: "Well then-" *He opened his eyes and strings of blood evaporated off his blood-covered body, slowly taking the shape of butterflies.*

  Tyson: *He stepped back in sheer confusion.* (What-?) *He stared at two forming butterflies.* (M-Made of blood?!)

  *The butterflies suddenly flickered like electricity and gargle-sounding thunder could be heard with each flap of their wings.*

  Tyson: (It's like the previous Hi-Ougi, but-..) "There was three of you!"

  Nathan: "Blood Soaked Monarchs."

  Luna and Karol: (Blood Soaked Monarchs.)

  *White light swirled around Rachael's face, healing the wind burns she received from Tara's warning.*

  Rachael: "Thank you, Lezard."

  Lezard: "Anytime, Razzypoo." *He tried to sound carefree, failing to hide his worried expression on his face.*

  Synthoss: "They all died!" *She screamed at the top of her lungs and reached for her whip, flicking it high into the air.*

  Rachael: *She watched the air crack like glass around the whip.* "Champion, looks like that whip will cause unreal damage if it touches me."

  Champion: "Oh my, I'll do my best to cover you."

  Rachael: "Lezard, I want you to heal any Rasticsplash I'll receive." *She spoke with a frown and tightened her fists, as if she was readying to fight Synthoss.*

  Lezard: "Okies!"

  Rachael: (Thanks to you, champion, I'm able to use-)

  Synthoss: "Now die!" *She screamed with widening eyes and flicked the whip towards Rachael.*

  Rachael: "Ougi." *She punched the ground with both hands and two boulders shot up from either side of her.* "Lazurite Tutankhamun."

  *Rachael violently punched each boulder at the same time, exploding rocks around two blue dagger-shaped weapons.*

  Rachael: *She caught the daggers in her hand and admired them.* "Lapis lazuli."

  Champion: "Oh my!-"

  *A silver shield rose in front of Rachael and a glass-like crack appeared on it where Rachael's head is located.*

  Rachael: *She looked at the shield in shock.* (That whip has the strength to crack the champion's shield in one hit?)

  Champion: "MYSTIC SHIELD"

  Synthoss: "Dirty, dirty, dirty lamps.." *She glared at the champion and Lezard.* "I will deal with you two later-"

  Rachael: "Rock Pillar." *A platform of ground shot up underneath her and burst, blasting her towards Synthoss.*

  Synthoss: "Don't you dare protect that murderer!" *She swayed back and flicked the whip downwards.*

  Rachael: "Dirtcloud Talons." *She rolled onto the ground and waved her arm downwards, as streams of sand grabbed onto the whip, pulling it down to the ground.*

  *A ball of flames shot towards Synthoss and lit up the surrounding area, catching her attention.*

  Synthoss: "Let go!" *The air cracked around the whip, bursting the sand off of it.* "Harh!"

  *The whip quickly slithered in the air in front of Synthoss and allowed the fireball to hit it, bursting into bright red flames.*

  Champion: "FLAME BOLT"

  Lezard: (The whip protected her?)

  Rachael: *She stood back onto her feet and sprinted towards Synthoss, taking advantage of her loss of concentration.* "Dust Storm."

  *Rachael cartwheeled forward and as her hands touched the ground, a swirl of sand spiralled up like a tornado around Synthoss.*

  Synthoss: "I can't see!" *She screamed and swayed to the side, flicking the swirling sand away with her whip.*

  Rachael: *She jumped face to face with Synthoss and slashed the blue stone dagger across her face.* "Take that!"

  Synthoss: "Argh!" *She screamed as blood streamed from a small cut on her face.* (It's sharp like an actual dagger!)

  Rachael: "Piercing Land." *She punched upwards and a boulder burst up from the ground behind Synthoss.* "Earth Shattering."

  *Rachael opened and closed her hand, causing the boulder to violently burst directly behind Synthoss.*

  Synthoss: "Ouch!" *She quickly placed one hand on the back of her head, feeling blood.* (It's wet?)

  Lezard: (What a combo!-)

  Champion: "ICICLE EDGE"

  Rachael: *She took quick, deep and professional breaths, as she continued to move around Synthoss in a fluid-like manner.* "Swirling Sandpit."

  *Rachael clapped her hands and placed them both on the ground, causing the ground to visible change into sand.*

  Synthoss: *Her foot suddenly started to sink into the sand, causing her to lean to one side.* "No!"

  *Five ice spears fell from the sky, shattering into the ground around Synthoss.*

  Synthoss: "Time freeze, three inverted stars gather, AYON RAPTURE" *She screamed with an echoing voice and just as another ice spear fell towards the top of her head, a wave of glass-like cracks appeared above her, violently shattering the raining ice spears into nothing.*

  Champion: "Oh my-" *She looked at the sparkling ice in the air in shock.*
