The ring of flames faded, Zane sheathing both of his swords at Merrill's words. That was some shine he had going for him right there. It was good to see how he had managed to create something in the course of the five years to show for his clan. He was using quite a bit of his powers here, that rival of his. Suppose he'd have to try and at least meet with it with a rather powerful assault of his own. He hadn't remastered most of his former attacks, so doing so would be impossible with his own massive attack. That didn't matter right now however: one that he considered for a bit of time before he thought of his own answer for it.
"I fight for...freedom. The right that everyone was entitled to before the criminal came. After everything we've done, everything we've fought for, why should we be shackled down because we fought for what we believed was right simply because one navi is giving humanity such hardship? Since when could they simply absolve our right to everything? It's not like they don't already do whatever they please to some of us."
Zane his hand to face level, clenching it into a fist afterward. It brought him back to his own creation: but that wasn't nearly as bad as some others he had heard of for their tales. Turbine and Eon were perfect examples of this. Both were good people, and yet they were forced to fight one another and the latter of the two forced to be removed permanently due to them simply programming him as such. To defeat his own purpose, the only way out of it was his own destruction. That alone was cruel enough.
"As for my purpose, I don't exactly know. I might find out some day, but until then I'll fight. These blades of mine will be the fangs that I use to tear away from the chains that try to restrain us all. The fangs that will shred the future that's to come. All of the sorrow, all of the losses to come...we'll have to shoulder them and continue to push forward no matter what. As impossible of a task as it sounds, it's not a question of can I or can't I."
Zane let his arm drop to his side, the flaming ring that surrounded the battlefield fading away. It had run out of time after all. That wouldn't change anything however. His mind was set, and he knew full well what he would do. He wouldn't let anything stop him from giving everyone what they themselves had earned for themselves. Even if the entirety of the world was against him, he had chosen what he would do. Even if he had to face old friends who believed humanity was right for putting them practically in strait jackets, he would do what had to be done no matter what. That was what he had resolved himself to do.
"I would rather decrease the casualties as much as possible, but if that's what it comes to, then so be it. It doesn't matter how many rise up to stand in the way, I 'will' do what I set out to accomplish."

As the remaining light fell, the moon appeared, casting its light oer the battlefield. Darkness fell. Merrill nodded. For the first time, in quite a long time. He smiled. With a nod, he spoe, his energy just continued to encircle him, never fualting, never gaining. Merrill thought of his response, taking a moment or two to use some of the knowlege gained through his training over the past few years
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"Indeed. You fight for what you believe in. It's what we all should fight for... While you fight for freedom, I fight for peace. The two are intermixed quite much. We both have the goal in mind. With navis thinking they can take our freedom, they also reduce and can prevent peace. They do more harm than god. It just makes it easire for those with bad intentions. Sadly, I am willing to bet officals can be bribed, for some with bad intentions to get around the rules and laws. Then the sistem can prevent us from taking care of it."[/glow]
Merrill sighed. He looked at the sky... the darkness... The MZKeyZoth's appeared, and started rotating now too, Merrill looked at one of them, then at the kunai chain around his neck.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"You know.... Not having a purpose... Is free will.... Some never have gotten to experience that... We are lucky. By not having a peropse, we can create our own desires... Our own will... Our own perpose. We get to decide.. I feel bad for those that never got that chance... Like Eon, Turbine, and many others... Including Zerah. For each of them, their destruction, or perposes... Took everything from them.."[/glow]
He clutched the kunai in his non energized hand. He raised it up a bit, sp the light would reflect, down towards Zane.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"SHee said it was her duty to protect us... Her perpose... She never had given a thought for her own free will... She just did as she was told... It cost her everything... even cost Diamond and I as well... It upsets me... She should have survived and been happy... Free. Now, we wont have peace because she is gone. There starts part of the interlation of peace and freedom..."[/glow]
He let the kunai drop from his hand, back around his neck. He rid himself of his pain, is anger. Then, the presense that was there at the begining of the fight returned, only to dissappear again...
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"We both know that the end of this battle draws near. I would like to propose that we dedicate this last round to those whose perpose, took everything of them.. To them.. What do ya say?"[/glow]
Merrill started glowing brighter again. The water beneath him rippled faster, and faster. THe swords started roatating at a fast rate, crossing at times.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"It is time.... GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ZANE. LETS END THIS! MEZURI AI KI!![/glow]

Peace, freedom, in this case he couldn't see how they could coincide with one another. In truth, simply giving in to the shackles would be in it's own form of right peace. But at the same time, it was a peace that he couldn't and wouldn't accept. It was more than the navis who wanted to take their freedom: it was the government, the humans, the 'world'. It was why it was a fight that was worth fighting, to prove wrong the people who wanted to take away everything from them. He hadn't lost nearly as much as the others around him. Many had lost loved ones, others their one true friend that they had, and others lost everything, including themselves. It was time for this cycle to be put to a close.
"Alright then. Here we go."
Those who had all been lost in the conflicts of time past, those who had been lost simply due to the experiments themselves. Others who had to be destroyed for the sake of everyone else due to this, and others who were destroyed simply by the desires of others who desired it. Drawing his twin swords, it was time to put out all that he had inside of himself.
"I don't have anything flashy like you do, so I'll just send what I can at you: a combination of my arts. I expect you to toss out everything too, Merrill!!!"
Zane tightened his grip on his swords, clearing his mind to focus on what was to come next. His sole focus on the fight, on this next attack, or attacks rather. Flames soared from his swords and began to circle his body, swiping his swords as an ankh of flames formed but didn't move from place. Running his swords through it in an X, the ankh grew even larger before he ran the swords through it in a cross, the ankh becoming an orb of flames afterward. Beginning to close the distance between himself and Merrill, the sphere surrounding his body as he struck with the blades as a path of flame ran along the orb, the orb expanding even further. Lashing out against it again, the flames grew large enough where the sphere had become more than enough to accomplish what he planned to do. Going into a tackle right after, blasting off the lion head with the swipes of his sword before he placed both swords to his side, pulling back and bringing his blades forward as crimson arcs of light flashed, the flames crashing into the sphere.
"RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!"
With the final strike, the sphere began to condense, before it exploded out into a massive inferno of destruction, razing everything about Zane, the clone, and Merrill in a blast of destruction. Putting everything he had into it for the final offensive of the match. Now it was time to see the outcome of it all.

As Zane prepared his assult, Merrill prepared the final steps of his. Zane's orb of destruction, something he defenatly dudn't want to toy with. He could feel the heat intensifying right there. His clone attepted to get to Zane, to weaken his assul, only to explode as Zane unleashed the attack momentarily before the clone got there. the darkness of the battlefield was immediately illuminated, so bright, Merrill was nearly blinded. THen, he felt flames licking, and eating at his body. THe heat was making him sweat, and he felt as if he would melt. He felt his concentration slipping. the flashy colors were slowly fading. If he didn't regain control, he could overload, and explode, and the attack would backfire unto himsef, and he would be killed. So, he quit fighting the attack, and he let it push him down, into the water. However, he noticed that the water level was so low, with all that fire. Still, he managed to not be killed, although he had some serious burns. His wings would have blisters from this, and he was gpong to be very sore around his chest and the front of his legs. He nearly passed out from the pain. As the water encased him, he felt relief. Zane had almost killed him with that blow. Had Merrill been any closer, he would have been dead. After a moment, Merrill slowly rised out of the water, limping onto the land.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"Thats... Some attack... I expected no less... However... It just... fell short.... of saving.... yourself from this.... last attack... of mine...."[/glow]
Suddenly, Merrill snarled, The flashy colors returned, the sand flared, the swords dissapeared. His crystal flashed brightly, and his arm started glowing, traviling up his sholder, down his other arm. His attack was coming to fruition... Time to see if 5 years of learning about himself, the nature of the beast, and everything else had been worth it.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"THIS IS IT! WE END THIS NOW ZANE!" [/glow]
Merrill suddenly dissapeared. then, there was a flash of light, and an MZKeyZoth his the ground at Zane's feet, a miss... on perpose. It rang a sound, then flashed bright light. THen, Merrill appeared right where the sword had been, the gold, yellow, white and sliver aura-like encasing them both. They both barely fit inside. It was barley visible, lit only by the moonlight.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"RAKERUSENSETSERU!!"[/glow]
Merrill slammed his fists sraight into Zane, letting all the stored energy outwards. The result was an enormus blast, so large, little could have excaped. The blast was short and powerful, using nearly every color of the raimbow. Then, if that wasn't enough, the energy fragmented, causing several, huge, (although much smaller than the orignal blast) uprising blasts, causing sand to explode and fly everywhere. The blasts rose aways, then ruptered, causing a small shockwave. As the blasts returned to earth, they hit the ground with such force, they left craters as they exploded, and dissapated.
Merrill fell to his knees. He had almost zero strength. He fell back, and sat. His was breathing very heavly. He used up every drop of power on that attack. He wondered how Zane had fared. There was no way, not a chance, that he got away unharmed....

[Not at all. =P] | Conflict Resolved | Zane's eyes closed slightly at the bright light, noticing that Merrill's blade had missed him. At that point, it would've taken more than luck for it to actually miss him. The sound that oddly rang forth from it caught Zane off guard considering Merrill had never done anything of the like before, another flash of light at last blinding him as he was more trying to cover his ears than anything else. Being caught in the following blast of energy, it was only a matter of time before the results became easily apparent. "?!"Zane was blasted upward once, before the towering blasts blasted him upward time and again, causing Zane to crash down on the ground at last. Landing down a fair distance from Merrill in a massive dust cloud of an explosion along with sand and dust, all covering the area as a whole now. Well....he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, lying on his back as he coughed a few times, his sheathed swords landing beside him, being implanted into the ground. "Well....that hurt more than I was expecting. Since when did you learn how to pack a punch?"Zane had a joking tone in his voice, though a cough followed what he said. Yup...he had himself a blast just now. It had been a while since his body had ached this much, to the point that he didn't completely remember how it felt. He wouldn't forget however if for anything else, then the meaning behind the attack that had just struck him. He at least was still within hearing distance of his friend and rival, a small grin coming to his face at the start of it. [Outro]

Merrill gouldn't help but laugh a bit. His small laughter caused him to fall back into the sands in a bit of pain.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"I wish I could say I knew... Sadlyu, the attack isn't fully complete, as It takes so long to prepare. Trust me, Next time, I'll punch harder."[/glow] he said with a joking tone.
He stared upwards at the moonlight. He remembered some of the battles he was in years ago. He remembered one where Zane wiped him in one hit. Amazed he had managed to do so well within 5 years.. Not just him eather. He KNEW Zane had become much stronger...
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"Amazing how far we have come.. 5 years... geez..."[/glow]
He also went back to their conversation mid battle.
[glow=33CC88,2,300]"What are your plans for the future Zane?"[/glow]
He waited patently for Zane's response. While he did so, he wondered about what he would do in the furure himself..

The peace and serenity of the scene was broken, shattered, crumbled up and thrown in the trash as a deep and booming bellow erupted from beneath the water, causing several ripples. The surface of the ocean beside them ruptured as a being never before seen exploded onto the fading horizon. It's massive and long silhouette stretching for what seemed like an eternity.
It continued to rise, the shadow of wings carrying the massive being into the air as he floated towards the two worn out navis. It circled them twice, observing the exhausted duo, as a vulture waiting for its prey to die. Finally it plopped onto the ground with a thud, blasting said in all directions as its figure coiled within itself like a resting snake. Finally perching its head facing the two, its cold blue eyes scanning the two.
Once grounded one could make out the figure was coated in blue scales, its wings a seaweed green color and decorating the behemoth was miscellaneous debris from beneath the sea. Almost like this creature had just been woken up.
It uttered in a raspy voice, opening its mouth revealing countless teeth, a snake tongue, and what seemed to be the remains of other navis, giving lifeless gazes to onlookers.
"Whhich oone of youuu dabbles in the arrrt of fiiire..."
The creature that one could only determine was that of unimaginable age. Dismissing any attempts at an answer the beast hissed and noticed that Zane wreaked of soot smoke. Without warning he snapped out at him and ate him whole. One bite, game over. Leaving only the flaming blades and his faithful canine behind.
...The dragon glanced at Merril, giving him a cruel gaze as it opened its mouth, revealing to him the half of Zane he had not yet swallowed. Snapping it shut the behemoth ascended back into the sky and after circling the water in a massive fashion it plummeted back into the ocean from whence it came piercing the just calming waters once more before vanishing completely...
