Gregor snapped his head towards Akito, his eyes widening "You should've stayed by the sidelines."
He waved his hand over his cheek, and smirked "You even missed your dirty shot."
Akito chuckled, passing his fingers through his hair "I knew your buddy there would've blocked the shot."
He lifted his hand, revealing Gregor's book "You need this to use your habel, don't you?"
Gregor glared at the ground "My habel?"
He stepped towards Akito, each step sinking towards the ground lower than the last "I don't have one."
Gregor tilted his head towards Scy "Leave the icy fool to me. Deal with the useless guy."
Scy smirked, clapping once "Heeyah! I've waited long enough to do my rematch!"
He turned to Vex, licking his lips.
Vex lifted his fists, placing them infront of his face.
He tilted his head towards Akito "Think you can handle the other dude?"
Akito's eyes linger on Gregor, a hint of a smile on his face "Don't die."
He rushed towards Gregor, forming an ice lance on his hand.
Gregor sighed, raising his arms "A fool who rushes with a gift he was simply born with."
He took a step forward, the dirt crumbling under his feet.
His hands stretched to the sides "So many openings!"
He pushed his legs forward, the wind around him rustling.
Akito stretched his hand forward, lunging the spear directly at Gregor.
Gregor slammed the ground with his feet, launching himself above Akito.
Akito turned around, facing Gregor's Palm.
Gregor's fingers grip around Akito's face, swinging his body towards a faraway building.
Vex gritted his teeth, his feet turned towards Gregor.
The whirling scythe cuts the air between Vex and Gregor, sending Vex back.
Scy chuckled "Wrong opponent, buddy!"
Vex swung his face towards Scy, exhaling.
Scy giggled "All serious now are we?"
Vex turned his body, facing Scy "I've beaten you once, move it."
Scy's eyebrow twitched, his smirk froze "Lets.. see how long you can keep this attitude up for!"
He lifted up his hand, fingers bent towards Vex.
The scythe whirled through the air, cutting the silence of the battlefield.
Vex stepped aside, his body tensing back from the scythe.
The scythe whirled through Vex, leaving a trail of blood on his hand.
Vex snapped his hands towards the scythe, the tip of his fingers grazing the hilt of the weapon.
The scythe flung off Vex's hands, gouging walls of houses around them.
Vex's eyes locked on Scy, his fists clenched "Cheap tricks.. come fight me yourself!"
Scy laughed "Why should I play fair?"
He stretched his hand, the scythe spun idle for a moment, changing movement towards Vex.
Vex swiftly stuck his foot into the ground, bending his back forward.
The scythe slipped right above Vex, hitting another wall.
Vex pushed off the ground, sprinting towards Scy.
He pulled back his fist, lunging it towards Scy's face.
Scy cowered under the punch, raising his fist into Vex's chest "I'm not going to let you land a hit like last time!"
Vex leaped back, his hand covering his stomach.
He coughed, pulling his hand towards Scy.
Scy's hand flailed down "Gotcha!"
The scythe swung right above Scy, spinning right towards Vex.
Vex pulled his hands up, his fingers tightening around the scythe's blade.
The scythe spins against Vex's hold, cutting his palm off.
Blood started flowing out, painting the floor red.
Vex's hand fell idle, he grumbled.
Scy clapped "I win!"
Scy brushed his feet against the ground, walking towards Vex.
He pulled his hand back, grinning.
Vex clenched his working fist "Don't think you won just because of a simple scratch."
Vex caught Scy's hand, pulling his arm forward.
Shockwaves rumbled in the distance.
Scy's smile faded, his body falling towards Vex.
Vex pulled his hand back, swinging it up into Scy's guts.
His eyes narrowed as he viewed the crystals embedded onto the scythe.
Scy got flung against a wall, his back tensing as cracks filling the air.
Vex drew his hand back, his eyes sharp, focused on Scy.

He pulled his hand towards Scy's face, shifting the weight of his body.
Scy's face connected with Vex's fist, his head crushing into the wall.
Vex's eyes locked on Scy, his mouth tilted.
He leaped forward, winding up for another punch.
Scy moved his hands up, pulling his body back up.
He coughed, falling onto the ground.
He lifted his hand, the scythe whirling towards Vex.
Vex shot his hand forward, grabbing Scy.
Scy chokes on air, his legs falling idle.
Vex spun Scy, flipping him against his scythe.
The scythe pierced Scy's stomach, the whirling blade halting in its movement halfway.
Scy's body stayed intact, the hole in his stomach clear of blood.
Vex raised an eyebrow, pushing Scy's body away "..No blood? What the?"
An ear piercing sound of a gem crashing roared in the battlefield.
Scy's neck cracked, his hole swollen in itself.
The scythe let out a loud screech, Scy's hair turns pitch black, his purple eyes shining brighter.
The air around the scythe wielder wavers.
Vex exhaled "Aha, so that's how you stayed alive last time."
Scy tpok a deep breath, swiftly grabs the scythe from behind his body.
He pulled the scythe through his stomach, slashing the air.
The scythe got flinged forward, slicing Vex's hand off.
Vex's hand flops on the ground with a wet flop.
Vex pulled himself back "Shit"
He tore off a piece of fabric with his teeth, placing it on the created hole, stopping blood from gushing out.
Sweat dripped from Vex's face, adrenaline rushing in "You scum."
He walked towards Scy, facing the scythe wielder with his remaining hand.
Vex's eyes lock on Scy, he bit his lips.
A grating shatter of ice echoed in the distance.
Vex tilted his head towards the sound, quickly darting back to Scy "I have to end it quickly."
Scy's attitude shifted, he stretched his back, straightening his body "Is this really the person that succeeded in bringing me down to one life?"
He sighed, walking forward "Disappointing."
He held his scythe, dragging it across the ground, muttering "Hah.. I can only return lives by killing the one who took them.."
Scy lifted up his scythe, leaving a slash on the ground.
He waved it upwards, the scythe leaning on his shoulder.
Vex exhaled, rushing forward.
Scy spun his scythe upwards, whirling it against the air.
He pulled his scythe down, the head of the scythe piercing into the ground.
Vex pulled back his hand, a yellow glow emanating from it.
His eyes storm in every direction "I cant fail this one."
Scy raised his scythe, plopping it off the ground.
Vex slid forward, pulling his hand forward.
Scy pulled his hand down, the scythe launching towards Vex's hand.
The punch collides with the scythe, sparks emitting wildly around the clash.
Vex gasped for air "Time to break your little toy."
The scythe rattled, it's head cracking.
It flung backwards, dropping from Scy's hand.
Scy bit his lips, the scythe clattering on the floor "Such power..!"
He leaned back, trying to pull his scythe towards him.
His hand gained a faint glow of red, the scythe rattling his way.
Vex stepped forward, looking down on Scy.
Scy's mouth stood half open, his hand reaching for the scythe.
Vex pulled his leg up, stomping it on the scythe.
The sound of a gem cracking rustles in the air, pieces of the gem sliding under Vex's leg.
The scythe wielder falls idle, his body landing on the ground.
Vex approached the body "A... pile of ash?"
Scy's remains were bits of the shattered scythe and the robe covered with ash.
The purple gem in the middle of the robe lost its purple color, now a blank of white.
Vex gazed down on the shattered scythe, picking up his dismembered right hand.
He walked towards the scythe's pieces, his legs faltering under rubbles of stone.
His knees met the ground, his head wobbled "There is something.."
He gasped for air "I'm missing."
Shockwaves rattled in the air, Vex's ears rang.
Vex lifted his head towards the sounds, gasping for air "Don't lose, Akito. I've got questions."
