h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Mockingly*

Well he's a typical man he has to be in charge, how do you think he will explain being defeated by 2 women, he's not used to women answering back, he's used to them cowering at his feet, look he has no idea what to do because we won't fall willingly into his bed, shall we make him a eunach

*Nick parries the attacks easily, even with one hand he is still a blademaster*

*A red mist forms in Shaylar's eyes, she slashes at Nick's groin*

I will take great pleasure in killing you

*Elandra is also a blademaster, having been training for years upon years...she has extra strength and energy given to her from the potion she drank earlier, and she slashes at him*

*she strikes at him with her katana, and as it strikes his sword water is magically sprayed out over him*

*as the water touches him he screams out in pain and anger; he desperately tries to remake his contact with Syian but for some reason he cannot sense her blood*

*he parries Shaylar's blade and pivots to strike at Elandra's head*

*Raises the schimitar and slashes Nicks neck, his blood hits the ground and thhe grass withers*

*blocks the strike with one sword and slaps him in the face with her water katana; more sprays out*

*he can feel blackness closing in on him and he roars his defiance; as a last ditch attempt he sheaths his flaming sword and rings the bell taking him into death and away*

*Raises her hand and rain starts to fall, meanwhile out in the river a tsunami is forming*

*on the other side of the river...hidden by a copse of trees Nick exits death and lies still. The wound on his throat is healed but he is badly burnt from the water and exhausted. He lies still and sleeps for now*

*Keep's the rain falling*

I'm going back to Imardin, He'll attack there next I'm sure of it, he want's Lumien and Syian and wherever they are he will be I'll go and prepare for an attack, anyway I want to see how they are doing

*Heads for the cottage*

*Elandra nods slowly*

*she stans still for a moment, then sheathes her swords and starts off - then stops*

*she starts a search of the area her, looking for...anything*

*despite the rain Nick's strength returns, slowly...ever so slowly...he raises himself*

*spots Nick over in the copse*

*creeps over there, slowly drawing her sword*

*Nick suddenly springs to life, he is a little sore but his wounds are healed and his arm cauterized*

*he sends out a powerful blast of forbidden dark magic*

*spots the waves almost in time; she rolls to one side but is clipped by it on her left arm and side*

*he advances, already balling more magic in his hands*

*her left arm is limp, with painful pins and needles in her side - it was only a glancing blow to her side*



*she circles around him warily*

*another ball shoots out directly for her*
