Chapter 39:

Luke vs Yuki, Sana and Mahiru

A jokers world


All of them teleported to their plain battlefield.Yuki and others tried to look around but the body didn't listen to them. Eyes and mouth still working how they should, except them every other part was disobeying their command to move.

With only their eyes they looked around. In the right side they saw huge walls.At the corner of eyes Yuki catches the glimpse of Hikaru and Nefrim. Her eyes then wanders off at the throne and the joker sitting on it with his grin.

He stands up and claps. A large blast grabs everyone's attention. Their eyes are drawn in the direction of the blast. In the smoke Hikaru and Nefrim were fighting.

“We should start as well," said Luke as he summoned Yasi by merely thinking about him..

The yasi opens two portals on the side as he spreads his arms. Two dragons, one brown coloured with no wing and scales slightly lifted upwards and a tail, another with blue colour with 2 heads and wigs and tail, come out from them.

Yasi next opens a small portal beside him and takes out a sword. He handed it to Luke.

Luke inspects the sword and takes his form.

Sana unsheaths her sword and asks Mahiru "Whom will you take one?”

“For now let me take care of the dragons” Mahiru holds her staff tightly.

‘I will support you.’ Said Sana.

With a long breath the dragons rushed towards them.

“Then I will handle Luke.”

Mahiru covered the area in smoke.The dragons ran into it and Sana came out dashing straight towards Luke.

The dragon comes out from the other side, confused and looking for Mahiru. She was above them in the air, while falling downwards at the brown dragon she chants her magic.

A red flower blossoms between the dragons and its petals warps both of the dragons then vanishes.

Mahiru landed on the brown dragon.One of the blue dragon heads saw him and fired blue flames. Yuki casts a defence barrier on Mahiru. The brown dragon got a little burn and the blue dragon also felt the pain. Mahiru jumps down.

Mahiru aims the staff at the blue dragon and fires a highly concentrated mana beam. It pierced through the tip of his tail. The brown dragon's tail also got pierced at the tip. Screaming in pain, those dragons get furious. The brown dragon starts chasing them and attacks with their claws.

Sana and Luke were dancing to the song of blade strikes. Missing a single beat could be fatal for any of them. Luke was striking back after each Sana's strike, keeping up with her which made Sana recognize that Luke was either one same level as her or was even better.

They had maintained a little distance from Mahajru and the dragons.Between the clashes of the swords Sana was trying to find every weak or open spot she could attack but Luke managed to surprise her by countering everyone of them.

The fight between them goes on and on. Mahiru and Yuki were close to defeating both of the dragons while Sana was still struggling with Luke.

With another blast everyone's attention again falls towards Hikaru and Nefrim.Half torn clothes and bathed in blood Hikaru's appearance changed as his body colour changed to black. Giving a creepy smile Hikaru was just standing there. Nefrim’s clothes were also burned around the chest area.It looked like Nefrim was saying something but Hikaru teleported behind him and kicked him in the head slamming him into the ground.

“What's going on?” Yuk asked.

“Dont get distracted!” Shouted Mahiru as she shot ice shards on the blue dragon flying in the air. The dragons dodged them.

One of the battles comes near the end. The blue dragons aim at Mahiru and Yuki with both of his mouths, letting out all the flame he had. The brown dragon ran out the field of the blued dragon's attack range.

Mahiru and Yuki kept trying to avoid being hit by his flames.The flames led them to run towards the brown dragon, he was drooling after seeing its prey running towards him.

“At this rate we are going to get eaten alive," said Mahiru.

“...Mahiru can you shoot some large stones at the blue dragon”

“I can but he is pretty far away, he will dodge it before it hits him"

“I will boost its speed and at the same time I will throw us away so that we can escape from being burnt by flames.”

Mahiru thinks over a little and agrees. She jumps after running a little distance and shouts “NOW!!”

With the wand Yuki accelerated the 3 boulders Mahiru shot and with the free hand she fired a gust of wind at Mahiru throwing her and Herself away because of recoil.

2 boulders took out his wings and the one pierced into his core. Because of Mahirus' spell the damage was also taken by the brown dragon although he didn't have wings so he didn't feel that pain but the one in core took him out.

Sana on the other hand starts feeling the pressure. Luke was able to give some shallow cut, he also took two cuts but he gave more.

Mahiru fires some stone debris at Luke, he sees them coming and backs off.They enter the battle.

‘Those two are dead?”

“Yes.” answered Mahiru

“Wait a second let me heal you.” Said Yuki.

While Yuki heals Sana, Luke stretches a little and asks “Isn't it unfair, 1 versus 3”

“Who cares’ says Sana and comes forth after being healed.

“hahah…huff…Then lets take it to another level” Luke points his sword at sky.

The atmosphere around him changes. His eyes shine a little, calm and composed, fixed only on them.

Sana knows the state.She bends her knees a little, stretches out one leg back and points her sword at Luke. Her eyes shine.The aura of both of them changes.

“You both know about this form right?”

‘Yes” both answers.

“ Will you two be able to keep up?”

Mahiru hands her wand to Yuki and starts walking towards Sana. with each elegant step of her she starts shining. She flicks her hand and slowly pulls a shining sword out of air.

“Ohhh…so that's why you wanted to learn sword fighting” Said Sana.

"You know about this power?” asked Mahiru.

“ Yeah, a joker right. The second one I have ever seen.”

‘There is someone else you know with this power. How strange I thought it was more of a taboo power.”

“Let's talk later, Yuki! Can you heal us without getting involved in the fight?”

“Yes, it's better, I don't think I can match your speed.”

‘Thanks!”

WIth the invitation from Luke's eyes the battle starts. WIth every blink Yuki sees the sparks lightning in the air and no sight source.

Eyes were not able to keep up with their movements. Trying to match with their speed Mahiru supports Sana while also pressuring him for the opposite side.

Luke's control starts to waver. Dodging one and attacking one, keeping eye on the one in front and sensing the others movements, pushing away the other and counter attacking the one in the back. Hearing every movement they made, noticing every single opening of his he tried to defend himself.

The exhaustion of the brain and body starts piling up. Giving a small opening cost him some slash wounds. He switches his approach, now he only attacks and keeps his minimum focus on defence. With some shallow wounds he manages to give both of them a serious one. He calls yasi and opens a small portal from which smoke comes out. After a second of losing him they found him back and the battle continued as the spake flew.

Yuki heals from far away Luke gets annoyed and starts attacking more recklessly. Taking both in his front he did not give any more chance to them to slide away and attack from different sides.

Sana switches her approach. Luke swings trying to split her in two through stomach, She puts her sword in front of the attack and using the momentum of the attack slashed a wound on his right side of chest.

His balance trembles, Yuki uses the opportunity and freezes his legs. Sana swings her sword at him, he blocks it. Mahriu stabs the sword through his heart from the back. He turns his head back towards Mahiru, Sana stabs the sword in his stomach.

Panting both Sana and Mahiru stares at him.The sword falls from his hands and falls on his knees Yuki waits for a few seconds then runs toward Them

‘Huff…..hufff…its ov…over right?” Questioned Mahiru.

“Is he dead?” asked Yuki

“From seeing all the blood coming out of him…yes”said Sana

‘Can you heal us please it hurts pretty bad.” Requested Mahiru.

Yuki heals them both. They looked around, while fighting they reached near the throne room. It was pretty quiet, No noises of spell or sword. Their eyes caught Aki standing far away talking with the women he was supposed to fight.

‘Why are they not fighting?” Mahiru questions herself.

Yuki looks around restlessly.

“What happened Yuki” asked Sana, she continued “Where is Hika ... .Hika?”
