Some time had passed after the fall. Luckily, there was a slope that minimised the force of the impact and of course as a sword, I felt no pain. Sek let go of me after he hit the slope and I found myself right there in the dark, lights blinked on the floor as I laid there motionless waiting for Sek to grab me and take the opportunity to escape.
*Screeeee~*
The sound of metal scratching the floor grabbed my attention. Something... Someone, was approaching on my left. All I could do was wait there as that person being Shyza got closer. To my surprise, there was no wound at all. She squatted and stared at me with a curious smile.
"If I recall from those symbols, you must be Dzinu. The legendary moon sword."
I refused to talk thinking she might be startled if I did so.
"C'mon, a sword that's called legendary must do something unexpected.", she placed a finger on her chin and looked up, thinking. "hmm. Talking! Yes, like talking.", she grinned and leaned closer. "Hehe, ask me a question."
Surprised, I suddenly said the first words that appeared in my mind. "How are you in perfect shape?"
She stared at me puzzled as if she did not believe her own words.
"Well, we faunarians have excellent healing capabilities, probably because we started eating alien plants.", she grinned again. "I heard that the legendary moon sword in addition to the other legendary swords possessed great energy.", she brought her hand closer.
"What do you mean by 'other legendary swords'?"
"Teehee, you thought your clan was the only one to have powerful weapons?", she touched my scabbard and slowly engulfed me in her fingers as she stuck her tongue out. I had thought that she would be stung by the rejection since she might have killed a lot of people but, that wasn't it. She had never laid her hand on a weapon to kill. Even though she could hold me, removing my inner form would be impossible because of the lack of my clan's blood in her system.
"With your energy, Papa might be able to-", out of nowhere, a strange force had sent me into the air. There was a look of surprise on Shyza's face as her hands were raised up. I fell a bit farther away from her, struggling to find out where exactly I was in the murky darkness.
"Heh, so there are other swords?", Sek's voice echoed as he stood before Shyza, struggling to breathe.
"Y-You.", she grabbed her scythe and lunged at Sek.
"Not this time.", he immediately dodged her attack and grabbed her by the arm, sending her flying onto a wall.
She swiftly supported herself on the vertical platform and leaped into the air, raising her right arm with the scythe in her left.
"You're so annoying!", a strange weapon covered half of her arm. It also had energy surging through it, two vents on each side and a circle at the tip. It made a charging sound as what seemed to be wind entered the air holes.
"Tch!", Sek cursed. I had no idea what that device she had on was but its looks alone seemed like danger.
The sounds from the weapon seized and a bright sphere shot out causing a recoil that pushed Shyza further back.
"S-Such power!", I thought to myself.
Sek managed to jump a few meters away but the sphere's impact destroyed the ground and caused a shockwave that sent Sek flying and falling right beside me.
"S-Sek!! Are you okay!!??"
He took a while before standing and covering the wound on his left waist, "Heh, doesn't look like it.", he grinned.
Shyza landed safely. "Ow ow ow.", she cried as the blasting weapon disappeared leaving huge steam flying off her arm. She shut her eyes tight to minimize the pain then stood up, "I'll make sure.", she gathered air, "Dad becomes happy with me.", she tapped her scythe on the ground, immediately causing five red lights to move at fixed angles until they reached the walls and further moved upwards. They moved up until they went out of view.
"She uses a virus too?", Sek uttered under breath.
"I always hear that term. What's a virus?", I asked curiously.
"After, we deal with her", he flinched after recieving a stinging pain from his wound.
Suddenly, the lights on top of us activated and revealed the extensive area we were in. There were huge vehicles arranged in an orderly manner and a large door far above us.
"A ship hangar?", Sek seemed a bit shocked and looked back realizing the huge ship behind us. "This is gonna help a lot", he smirked.
"You also used a virus too right? No, two viruses. You do know that if they get out of control it'll mean trouble.", Shyza gripped her scythe tightly. "Only one virus is allowed use for one day or even months."
"It doesn't really matter to me", Sek shrugged.
"Humph.", Shyza dashed towards us at great speed but Sek didn't seem fazed this time at all. Instead, he relaxed himself and raised his right arm forcing Shyza to stop right infront of us with Sek's fingers inches away from her forehead.
"D-Don't tell me.", Shyza's face expressed horror.
"Yes, Yes it is", he flicked his finger.
