Pashiva 4 The Duln Saga

Torn Friendships, Half and Half

Melat and Felren both had Watered Pores activated.  They both punched each other with their buffed up arms causing both to brutally spit out blood. The Brown Cloaks watched in horror as the two former friends. Felren backed away looking impressed. "You learned Watered Pores huh"? Felren asked. "Yeah, how'd you know it"? Melat asked. "I was raised here, Rangers are supposed to learn Watered Pores and Hair Vines. Me being a Pashiva Knight helped me master it faster". Felren said. Melat then charged forward and winded back his left fist which was buffed up with Watered Pores and Felren blocked it with his buffed up arm. Melat then jumped out of the water to circle around to Felren's back. Felren then turned around. Felren fired a cannon ball at Melat who blocked it with his wrist, but the explosion blew him onto his back. Felren then started firing a barrage of machine gun bullets at Melat who got up and started frantically moving away from them trying to avoid getting hit. Felren then pulled held out his right hand after putting his crossbow up. Felren with a stern, cold look muttered. "RPG". Suddenly a rocket was fired from Felren's right arm as it hurled towards Melat who couldn't react in time and was blown away even farther and into the trees near Marsh Village. Felren started running towards Melat who placed his hands on the leaves of the trees next to him as he started to build a shield of leaves on his left arm. "HAIR VINES". Melat said. Felren fired a bolt at the shield. "Huh, nice attempt Melat, but I'm better at Hair Vines then you". Felren said running his fingers against the grass he was standing on as his hair turned into long flowing blades of grass. The blades were sharp and were cutting the air. He then started to while them around the area aiming at Melat. Melat frantically and sloppily jumped from side to side attempting to get closer to Felren. "I wont give you so much as an inch. YOU HEAR ME". Felren taunted. Melat was winding up wind around his arms until creating a thick layer covering them. "If you wanna catch up to me then you'll have to give me everything you got. You'll have to nearly kill me to win this fight". Felren yelled. "Turbine....  CANNON". Melat yelled throwing his arms on the ground using the wind to propel him upwards about twenty feet. He then winded up his right fist. "Wind Punch F2". Melat yelled firing a wind punch down towards Felren who jumped out of the way while noticing the crater it left. The crater was three inches deep and about five inches in diameter. Felren then fired a barrage of cannon balls. "CANNON FLURRY". Felren yelled as the sound of explosions echoed the village as townsfolk started watching the fight. The wave of cannon balls was pelting Melat with no remorse. After the flurry ended, Melat fell aimlessly and lifelessly down to the ground. Upon hitting the ground face up, Felren walked over to him. Upon reaching Melat, Melat grabbed Felren by the right wrist. Melat gave Felren a sinister look. Felren looked intimidated. Melat then pulled Felren onto the ground by his wrist as Melat got up. Melat then winded up his right leg upward. The leg was swirling with wind as Felren was trying to pull out his crossbow. "Wind Kick". Melat muttered. Felren then shot a bolt at Melat just as Melat threw down his leg onto Felren's stomach. "F2". Melat yelled. The bolt pierced Melat's skin causing him to fall onto his rear. Felren got the wind knocked out of him by Melat's attack but got up with only a few bruises on his face while grasping his stomach in pain. "Damn, Thick Skin isnt helping on this surface. It's all a bunch of soft dirt and grass its not strong enough to armor me up". Melat said to himself. "That's where my advantage takes place. My Stone Shard ability allows me to be more durable to your attacks. And also I know what you have up your sleeve. That form you used on the Under Lord, Windy Tank. USE IT". Felren said while kicking Melat over on his back. "(Coughs) why? Why do you want me to use it so bad"? Melat asked in pain. The Brown Cloaks were now shielding their eyes with the exception of Pyroy and Regenri and Eresil. Felren then started stomping on Melat's stomach. "Because, this is a duel. If you dont give it everything you've got on me, the I didn't really beat in you, I tortured you. AND I DONT WANT THAT". Felren yelled. While starting to fire a barrage of machine guns at Melat who started to shield them with his wrists and began to back away as quick as he could and dodge as best he could. "COME ON MELAT, PROVE ME THAT THIS DUEL IS EVEN WORTH HAVING. SHOW ME YOUR FULL POWER SO THAT ONE OF US CAN WIN AND SAVE OUR LOVED ONES". Felren commanded.  Melat continued to dodge attacks and remembered why they're having this fight to begin with. "You want to face me at my fullest. Fine, YOUR FUNERAL FELREN". Melat yelled as the bullet frenzy stopped. Melat then winded his hands out and started building the Windy Tank form. Felren smiled with relief. "Good, then this fight will end soon". Felren said. "Hope you know what you're setting yourself up for Felren". Melat thought to himself. Felren was watching Melat build the form. "I can do this, I can beat you". Felren thought to himself. "Alright Felren, this is it. My form. WINDY TANK". Melat said finishing the form. "Alright Melat, lets finish this". Felren said holding out his hands. "CANNON FLURRY". Felren yelled firing dozens of cannon balls at Melat. Before any of them reached, as if time slowed down Melat darted to his left slightly faster then his base form. Felren was thrown off by Melat's maneuver as Melat then winded back his fist as Felren saw Melat lip the words. "Wind punch F3". Suddenly Melat'a Wind Punch F3 launched itself towards the frightened Felren who was thrown backwards by the attack knocking him towards the lake as he skipped across it and onto the one of the pillars holding up the town causing the pillar to crumble frightening the citizens. With that last punch, Melat dispersed Windy Tank as he knew Felren was now unconscious. The Brown Cloaks somberly got together to carry Felren back to the shore of the lake. "So what now"? Anita asked. "Melat won the duel, so we gotta go to Mid World I guess". Pyroy said. "This isn't right, we cant determine who we save by use beating the hell out of each other". Eresil said. "Damn it Melat WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GO AND DO THIS. WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GO AND FIGHT FELREN"? Naytan yelled in tears. "Naytan relax, they're both at fault for this". Array said calmly. Melat hung his head in shame. "I think what we should do is split up. Half of us will go and head to Mid World while the rest of us will deal with the Riders". Array said. "That sounds like what we should've done before". Naytan said bitterly. "Can't change the past now". Eresil said. "I'll stay back here and help out Felren when he wakes up, besides I have to give him his belt anyway". Eresil said. "Then I'll head with Melat". Anita said. "Me too". Pyroy said. "Array you should stay back here and help Felren". Pyroy said. "What no, we just got reunited and you want us to split up again, WHY"? Array yelled in tears as well. "Array, you should listen to him. Cause I'm not going. I'm staying right here with Felren". Naytan said angrily. "And I obviously have to stay here as well". Regenri said. "You should come with us, that way the Riders wont be able to find you". Anita said. "No, but I have to fight them. It's my country, it's what Felren would want". Regenri said. Melat gave Regenri a cold stare. "Please, I'm sorry I caused this fight to happen. I hope you all can forgive me". Regenri said. Melat walked away with Anita, Pyroy and Array following as Melat turned his head around in reassurance. "Don't worry, I forgive you. It's not your fault". Melat said with a frown covering his face. Regenri looked reassured. "By the way Regenri, and this goes for you, Eresil, Naytan and Felren". Melat said. The rest paid attention to Melat as his frown turned into rage. "Make those bastards pay for tearing us apart like this". Melat said with fury so deep that Naytan lost his grudge at Melat for a brief moment. At this point now, Melat, Array, Pyroy and Anita were walking away to pick up half of the supplies front the house they were staying at and were about to head out to Mid World. When Felren wakes up, half of his friends will be gone and only Eresil, Naytan and Regenri will remain.
Meanwhile at the hulled area of the field far from Duln country the two hooded men who noticed Halok the Under Lord were now lying dead with large bloodied holes in their chests and backs. Halok walked away from the two dead corpses without a care in the world. "That's what happens when you misunderstand your limitations. Now where to find you... Brown Cloak Melat". Halok said out loud to himself.
