Jeepers Creepers
Atton swas losing energy; and quickly. He could feel the poison that the spider injected into him slowly make its way through every single one of his veins. It was a matter of seconds before his face turned red and his eyelids started to swell. The last hign he could see before his eyes closed completely was Andrew cutting the head of the giant spider; then walking away in a route Atton didn't plan on taking. He was blinded; but he could still hear what was going on around him. Atton could hear Iris yell his name, and he could also hear the heels of her long white boots making their way to him.
"Any flowers, hear my plea bring me an antidote to cure this poison! … This may sting a bit, but here.."
Before Atton passed out completely, he could feel some sort of magical glow and energy approach the severe wound on his abdomen. Soon, all of the swelling and bruises were gone, bleeding stopped and the venom in his veins no longer could be felt. The Leo opened his eyes once again at the sound of Konan's whispers; and, while still slightly weakened, he felt Iris take his hand and pull him up. "Thanks…" He murmured faintly as he let the female lead the way while he got fully recovered. The two climbed more and more ladders and crossed a lot of dungeons; and it soon came to the time the top floor arena was only one story away. Atton's sight was very blurry, and he couldn't recognize the things or persons around him. He was back to consciousness, though; when the two entered what he thought was the last room before reaching the ultimate floor. It was very blank; with only a few grass on the dirt ground and moss on the walls. In the very center, a scarecrow stood. It had no face, no attire, or no other feature worth looking at. Atton snapped back to his senses all of a sudden when he heard the sound of a sharp dagger-like object cut the air and made her way through one of Iris' pale cheeks. The throwing knife hit the wall and then turned into moss. "Iris!" Atton yelled, but the girl was in a trance watching how the scarecrow was slowly morphing to what seemed to be Konan; or a part of her. Iris ran up to her trying to tell something, but in the blink of an eye; the scarecrow floated over to Iris, pushed her to a wall and was about to puncture her neck with its deadly blade. "Die…"
"No!" Atton yelled as he used his remains of energy to run towards the scarecrow and tackle it with full strength, resulting in the animus only throwing Iris against a wall. It still involved a lot of power, through. Iris yelped as she hit the ground, and Atton immediately ran up to her and helped her up. Iris used a vine whip attack against the ragdoll, resulting in straw falling from it. The scarecrow, now angry, turned to Atton; and it was just then when Atton could really recognize it had Konan's essence.
"Konan?" Atton asked confused as he gave a step back, not really wanting to face that sword the scarecrow was carrying.
"Atton don't be afraid to attack! It's not the real Konan its a fake!" Iris yelled preoccupied.
"How can you be so sure? I mean, what if they stole her should and put it into this puppet. Who knows what may happen if I attack it!" Atton replied nervous. Fake Konan waved her sword in the air and then threw a wild slash at Atton; one he could barely dodge by stepping to the side and losing balance. Fake Konan threw out a stab with the sword in an attempt to annihilate the stuttering Atton; so he had to fall back on his butt to avoid having his guts jabbed.
"C'mon Atton, trust me, please!" Iris squeaked in between pants as she turned around and tried to find a way out so that her and Atton; or, in the worst of the cases, only her, got out when the battle ended.
~Listen to the girl, Atton. If you don't move I'll come out and won't let you in control anytime soon. I'm not letting you die. I mean, I don't give a damn if you die; but that means I'll go down with you. So yeah, I'm pretty much hands tied.~ Gado said angry from within Atton as he took over Atton's legs to help him get up quickly.
"But, it's dangerous!" Atton said as he jumped back avoiding yet another blow; but it wasn't that well received now. Yes, he dodged the blade, but the scarecrow wouldn't fall for the same trick twice, so now it used the handle of the blade to deliver a very strong blow to Atton's head; resulting in a very serious laceration to Atton's forehead. A wound that covered half of his forehead and most of his left eyebrow started bleeding heavily, and the blood soon entered the male's eyes; blinding his left eye and making the right one see everything in a tinge of red.
~That's it, you weakling. I'm taking over.~ Gado said angry, and soon Atton felt the Power of the Bestial taking over him.
~No, wait!~ Atton said. ~I'll do it. I need to take control of my situations for once.~
"Atton!!!" Iris bellowed as she saw the dubious amount of blood drooling down Atton's head. She was about to run towards him for help, but Atton ruthlessly pushed her away so she wouldn't get hurt.
"Hold on, Iris. I got it." Atton said as he threw his leather jacket over to Iris for her to watch over while he fought, then removed his shirt, which by now was pretty much torn down. With the shirt, which was looked more like an unrecognizable piece of cloth, Atton wiped away the blood from his forehead and eyes, allowing him to recover his vision. The Scarecrow threw yet another quick jab at Atton; but instead of hopping back, the Leo decided to fight. With the shirt still in his hand, Atton caught the sword; then he twirled the shirt quickly and threw it down through a hole to the very bottom of the Mother Tree, along with the stuck sword. Atton thought the scarecrow would be out of play without the weapon; but it was gaining more Konan/Lunar Rosa features. Ridiculously quickly, the fake Konan grew claws and slashed Atton right on the chest, creating yet another wound. A large scratch on his forehead and brow and two sever cuts on his naked torso, chest and abdomen. Atton was certainly not having a good time at this Mother Tree. The Fake Konan smirked and threw yet another slash at Atton, but now he crouched and let the scarecrow go with the momentum.
~This is the moment… This is the moment.~ Atton yelled to himself as he watched in slow-mo how his enemy's torso twirled to a side because of its slash and inertia. It was then when Atton made a move. All of his muscles contracted; his biceps grew instinctively and the bleeding increased for a second because of the blood rush he felt in his body. There, after crouching, Atton used the power of all of his body to throw himself up and let go an atomic-power uppercut. All of his strength had been focused on his right fist, and it paid off when he saw that the scarecrow's head was completely ripped away from the body and sent flying against a wall; turning back into a sack and breaking as it hit the wall. The torso fell down and straw and hay came out like blood.
Atton stood there, breathing heavily as he watched the dead scarecrow being emptied. He could feel, almost see the essence of Konan escaping and floating away to the ceiling. ~Is it…~ Atton asked to himself.
~Yes; it's over. But Konan's safe; I'm sure, Atton. Sadly, Lunar Rosa is, too… Hmph. Dilemma. Maybe I…~
~Shut up, we need to get up as soon as possible.~ Atton replied to Gado as he ran over to Iris, who was about to hug Atton but stopped suddenly because of the fresh blood in his chest and forehead. "Eww…" She squealed jokingly as Atton laughed and took his jacket from her arms and put it on, not wanting to leave his torso exposed. ~ I need to get a shirt…~ He thought randomly before yelling. "C'mon, we need to go!" and leading Iris out of that room.
The two made it through more obstacles and soon, they reached the top floor. The final arena; the sublimation of their experience through the tree. The platform was very, very wide and surprisingly plain. On one end, Konan's body lied lifeless, still wrapped in the cocoon. Atton stared around, but saw nobody there; so he and Iris rushed at full speed towards Konan. Out of thin air, though, Arbor appeared and tackled both of them with a lot of strength. They flew away so hard that the were both knocked down to the edges of the platform; but Atton managed to grab the edge with one hand and Iris with the other. Iris yelled frantically as Atton pulled themselves up. The force applied by him made all of his wounds, forehead, chest and abdomen start bleeding again; but very lightly. Panting, Atton stared at how the giant eye that was watching them when they were some stories down started to morph into a creature; Arbor just standing beside it guarding that Atton and Iris didn't approach while he morphed.
"I see you've made it. Surprising. Your souls would've been useful… To bad Master and I will have to end you right now." Arbor said teasingly as she pulled out her sword and prepared to fight.
Iris took cover behind Atton as he prepared for a fight. The Leo watched what he supposed was King Gohma morph and also scrutinized Arbor, waiting for the first move.
"Bring… It… On."
Atton swas losing energy; and quickly. He could feel the poison that the spider injected into him slowly make its way through every single one of his veins. It was a matter of seconds before his face turned red and his eyelids started to swell.
