"Why cant the first trial be an easy one?!"Lightspeed deflects the four swords that is lunged at him, he ducks from another incoming sword then runs at the stadium stands and up the steps. He could feel more swords following him and he ran up the wall then make a mad dash to the left. The sword that followed him pierced the wall. While running the walls of the stadium Lightspeed sways to the side to avoid a incoming strike
"Nalla aṉiccaikaḷ payaṉpaṭutti and using the environment to your advantage.""What the hell?! I can now understand what you are saying" Lightspeed said then he leaped off of the wall and landed on the handle of one of the incoming swords while deflecting another one then leaped on a few more and landed feet first on the wall and kept running till he made his way to the private box. He used his rapier sword to break his way in and closed the door and shut it behind him
"I linked my mind with yours, that way the realms of communication would be easier""Appreciate that" Lightspeed said pressing his back against the door, he puts up his sword, then he blitzed to the table and the table appeared before it
"Thats as far as you can get when it comes to invading my mind""I've noticed, your mind is all shakesphere, that race care driver that you conjugate with, and...the Captain Wallaby Show?"Note: The Captain Wallaby Show was a popular British puppet show on the BBN(British Broadcasting Network) that ran from 1971-1995 and Lightspeeds favorite show growing up
"Watch it mysterio. That show just happens to be a national treasure" Lightspeed looked around and sees the swords still surrounding the stadium and one of them hits the glass. Thinking of a strategy is out of the cards for him as his invisible opponent already hijacked his mind. So the only option left for him is to just make up a strategy on the fly. The window burst and lots and lots of swords flew at him...
It was as if time around him stood still, he charged at the incoming swords his head moved to the side to dodge one of the swords then he brings his head down to dodge another while bringing his sword up to deflect two of the incoming ones. He shoots out of the window and ran down the wall and to the stadium steps. Putting up his sword. He snagged a fire extinguisher from the stadium lobby then sprays it around the area once that is empty he finds another one then sprays it, he starts using this strategy as a way to pinpoint the location of where his mysterious opponent is. His eyes searched the arena as he ran all over it while avoiding the swords in the process. He sees the smoke from the extinguisher whooshed away then he draws his sword and slashed at the direction. He heard what sounded like a blade blocking his own and the voice finally spoke out congratulating him” Very, very, good. Managed to find a way to get me to reveal myself” the mysterious figure then revealed itself to Lightspeed for the first time.
“Just what exactly are you?” Lightspeed asked the being before him, his response is to push Lightspeed back. He stopped himself then looked at the being who responded” The names Deius, one of the seven generals of the one who abducted your people”
“Then answer this. Just what kind of person would do such a thing?” Lightspeed asked
“If you know that then you’d know everything wouldn’t you” Deius said then his eyes glowed and the swords vanished except the one that he is carrying
“Have it your way” Lightspeed raised his sword” Lets get this duel started”
Deius raised his sword in return” As you wish” the two charged at each other, both of them raised their swords in the are and when they got close both of them clashed together, sparks flying as they did so. They fight all over the lobby, the sounds of the dual blades clashing can be heard. Deius deflects the blade from Lightspeed then grabs Lightspeed by the throat” Your skills with the blade is admirable young one but do you think that’s enough to overcome what is about to befall you” he throws Lightspeed to the concession stand then blitzes out of the way to avoid a attack from Deius who split the concession stand in half.
“Hey come on man that was uncalled for” Lightspeed said then barely blocks an attack from Deius but got struck in the face by one of his wings that sends him on the ground. “When survival is on the line, it’s definitely called for” Deius charged at him but Lightspeed quickly recovers then he ran up the wall then jumped off of it, he attempts to strike but Deius blocked then one of his wings lashes out across his chest leaving a cut” That’s two young one” then kicks him back down” You want to save those people? How far are you willing to go to accomplish that?” Lightspeed could see the blood from his cut hitting the ground, he grips his sword tightly” Lightspeed realizes the anger building up then he calms himself before getting up and striking at Deius. A masterful slash stroke by Deius is blocked by the young speedster. Another of the winged blows is blocked, then countered. The two swordsmen stand motionless with their respective weapons locked in mid air. “You’re right, the sword isn’t all I have to win” Lightspeed then blitzed away, Deius can feel a huge wind forming then it grew more powerful then the debris flew at him but Deius slashes through each of them then felt his wing being sliced followed by his chest and felt the back of his leg being clipped as he fell to one knee. Deius raises his sword up and it was knocked away then struck away. Lightspeed stands before him with his sword pointed directly at him” My resourcefulness works also”
“Well played young one” Deius said as the winds die down then celebration music plays
“Well done indeed Lightspeed. You have passed the first trial, proceed at the top of Newgate Mountain and you’ll find your next trial there”
Deius summoned his sword to him and sheathed it” Good victory young one. On a personal level I wish you the best. Should you survive then I shall be looking forward to our rematch”
“It’s a date. “ Lightspeed said then he puts his sword up then looked around to see the arena repaired as if the battle didn’t happen and blitzed off
