The Second Fight

CHAPTER 4

Sword wakes up the next day very excited. He’s still astonished by the news he heard from yesterday. Sword quickly dresses himself and rushes to his spot to meet Random.

“Random!” He yells upon seeing her, “HEY!” He rushes over to her and notices he startled her again, It’s beginning to become a common trend. “Whoops sorry haha, anyways how’s your day been? Good? Great! You ready to start training? Let’s go!” Sword pulls out his sword and gets in a fighting stance.

“Whoa Sword wai- hold on.” Random stutters struggling to get her words out, unable to keep up with Swords hyperactiveness.

“Come on Random! The tournament is gonna begin sooner than we know!” Sword shifts to a stern tone, “We have to be ready.”

“Oh, uhh yeah, I mean I guess you’re right…let’s spar real quick, I have learned a few things so I should be better this time!”

“Awesome!” Sword distances himself from Random and readies himself again. “Let’s go!”

“Let’s go!” she says

Sword stands still lost in thought overanalyzing Random, I spent some time reading up on sword fights, Random mentioned she also did some training of her own, so I believe she’d rush to try her new tricks out quickly, I should focus on my defense…or I could end things quickly. Sword rushes Random and strikes her overhead, she blocks his attack and pushes him off. Random closes in and strikes at Swords side. Sword quickly parries her attack but loses his balance doing so. Random takes advantage of this and slashes at Sword. Sword jumps backward to avoid her attack but is too slow, gaining a cut in his sweater across his left sleeve to his torso. Sword quickly regroups himself and attacks at Random, but to no avail, she quickly blocks his attack. Sword pushes more force onto Random but she jumps back to dodge. She quickly runs behind Sword and strikes, Sword turns clockwise hitting Random's sword out of her hand. As her sword flies it cuts Sword face, Sword doubles over clutching the side of his face that just got cut, he looks up to Random but she is not there. Sword suddenly summersaults away and turns around to see Random hitting the spot he was just at. Random rushes towards him and spins around, doing a tornado move, slashing at Swords sweater zipper, opening his sweater exposing his necklace. Random lifts her sword and swings just stopping her sword at his neck. The world freezes for a moment as Sword takes in what just happened. Random puts her sword down and smirks at Sword.

“I win!” She says proudly sheathing her sword and posing.

“You do. I’m amazed, I got destroyed! Your fighting really has improved from the last time we fought, you even got so many hits on me.”

“Oops I’m sorry, I completely ruined your sweater, my mom has a sewing machine, I can see if she can fix it for you.”

“Um sure,” Sword takes off his sweater and throws it on his shoulder. “If it’s not too much trouble for either of you.”

“It’s no trouble at all, it is kinda my fault it’s like this, if you don’t mind we can go over to my house today and get it done.”

“Sounds great, I’m free today anyways let’s go.” Sword suddenly staggers grabbing his chest.

“Are you okay!?” Random panics

“Uhhm, yeah I’m fine, my chest was just burning slightly.”

“Well let’s get you over to my house and we can tend to your wounds as well.”

“Okay let’s head out.”
