Chapter 44 - Part Forty Three

DreamWorld

Elsewhere-Tower-Top Floor

Xander slashes at Tobias who blocks with the Lancers before he stands and slashes a few times which Xander easily counters with Durandel before he slashes down and nearly catches Tobias's skull but Tobias was able to cross the Lancers and get them up above his head in time to stray off the attack as Xander tries to power the blade down but Tobias holds up and in doing so he looks over and suddenly creates a torrent gun that roses from the ground and began firing large rounds that hit Xander and causes him to cry out as he turns and forms a shield that absorbed the next few rounds before he was able to move in and slice it in half but as he did Tobias tosses a lancer that lands near Xander's feet, Xander grinning but as he did it slowly faded as he saw the lancer glowing a blue how before Xander disappeared behind a fireball as the lancer exploded. Tobias watched carefully as Xander steps through the smoke as his coat was singed as he patted the fire off.

Xander: Exploding lancers...nest trick but it won't…

Tobias tosses the second one which Xander knocks aside as Tobias quickly made two more and threw them directly at Xander's feet Xander grimacing as they exploded again with a blue flash before hand as Tobias makes another and blocks Xander's wild swing as he attacked Tobias with more ferocity then before as Tobias struggles to keep up with the frantic and violent pace but as Xander knocked Tobias over and went for a downward stab, Tobias quickly grabs Xander and feels a surge of code and power shoot from Xander and into Tobias, Xander quickly pulling away as Tobias stands and forms two more lancers as Xander sneers.

Xander: How...how did you do that!?

Tobias: Why don't you ask your mother…

Xander screams as he charges him and the two begin trading blocked attacks as Tobias tries to get an advantage but can't as Xander was driving him back as the two continued to trade back and forth through the top floor as Xander suddenly throws a hand back and creates a series of Blades that hover in the air as Tobias quickly surrounded himself in a shield as Xander throws his hand forward and sends the hundreds of blades at Tobias as Tobias spins the Lancers and does his best to block the onslaught of blades but a few pierce through his spinning windmill attack as they hit his shield, Tobias watching as Xander ran through the continuing blades and delivers a slash that forces Tobias to toss a lancer down  and explode it before Xander could reach him, Tobias taking a sword that goes through his right arm and knee as Tobias steps back and groans in pain as he quickly pulls them out as Xander steps through the smoke and wiped a small trail of blood from his left eyebrow off as Tobias creates two lancers and tosses them but as one lands and explodes beside Xander, Xander grabs the other from out of the air and tosses it back at Tobias, forcing him to dive away as it exploded in mid air where he had been a few moments before. Tobias goes to stand but as he does Xander slashes his Durandel across his leg, Tobias screaming as the wound was large as Xander stabbed the blade into the floor and grabbed Tobias as he began to repeatedly slam his fist into Tobias's face.

Xander: You thought you could challenge me and nothing would happen!

Xander screams as something rocks his right shoulder forward and he sneers as he turns and pulls the arrow out as he lets go of Tobias and turns as Hazel lined up another shot, letting the arrow go as Xander catches the arrow and crumbles it but in doing so he left himself open and Kelsey runs and delivers a skinning kick that knocks Xander to the side as Alex screams and stand his blade forward, Xander quickly catching the blade as it sliced through his hand and into his left side a few inches as Xander sneers angrily as Alex tries with all of his might to push his blade further but Xander quickly pulls himself off and yanked Alex forward, delivering a violent clothesline that sends Alex spinning in mid air as Hazel runs to Tobias.

Hazel: Are you okay? We got here as fast as we could…

Kelsey attacks Xander as Xander dodges a few but Kelsey was faster then him and lands a few strikes to his chest and arms as he cries out from the deep penetrating wounds, Xander throwing his arm through Kelsey's chest as she grins and headbutts him, Xander reeling as Kelsey pushes herself off of his arm but as she does Xander touches the ground and the white light surrounds her and freezes her as Alex gets up and charges Xander who turns and quickly disarms, Alex, breaking his arm before he violently delivers several punches as Kelsey tries to move but can't as Hazel turns to see Xander nesting Alex into a pull as she stands and grabs an arrow as Tobias tries to stop her but she fires and hits Xander in the same shoulder and he screams and throws Alex at her, Hazel barely able to dodge as Alex crashed onto the floor motionless next to Tobias Xander grabs Hazel by her throat and slams her repeatedly onto the floor before he holds her up and keeps her in the air as he chokes the life out of her as Tobias gets up and screams as he throws a lancer at him but Xander catches it and throws the lancer into Kelsey's chest, Kelsey gasping as Tobias looks horrified as the lancer shines brightly before it exploded, Kelsey disappearing behind the fireball as Hazel's eyes rolled as she began to glitch as Xander was choking the literal lives out of her as the arm holding her began to glow as he was absorbing her power before he tosses her lifeless body down as Hazel looked at Tobias lifeless.

Xander: An interesting ability...I felt like I absorbed the power of twelve to thirteen of her. Interesting that you're still alive...didn't think someone could break my thrall in such distress.

Kelsey was panting as she was badly burned and bruised as the explosion had done damage but she was able to intangible enough of it from taking her out as Xander shrugs.

Xander: No matter.

Xander touched the ground again as Kelsey tries to moved but couldn't as Xander expanded the range and she froze again as Xander calmly walked over and touched her shoulder, Kelsey screaming as the same light as before with Hazel flowed from her and into him as she dropped over as the color left her face as Xander walked by Tobias and kicked him so violently that Tobias went sailing and crashed into the shield that was protecting Winston as Xander watched as Alex stood sluggishly as he gripped his Crusader dword. Xander grins and goes and grabs Durandel as he spins it and takes a stance.

Xander: To have gotten past Mario is commendable. But your part in this comes to an end now.

Tobias: Crowe daddy...stop...stop!

Alex looks at his friend and then back at Xander.

Alex: As long as people stand up to you... you'll never win...no matter what you achieve…

Xander: Then do your best to strike me down…

Xander watched ad Alex grips his blade and charges him, Xander not moving as Alex goes for a horizontal slash it in doing so Xander grins and side steps him with speed that Alex could barely comprehend as Alex slowly came to a stop and the top half of his torso fell off of his body. Tobias watches horrified as Xander touches him and absorbs the rest of his energy as Alex loses color and goes motionless as Xander turns to Tobias.

Xander: Do you still not comprehend what you're up against?

Xander suddenly goes flying as Valencia's golden wings whacked him to the left as he hit the far left end hard, Tobias getting up as he limps over towards her as she was panting as she held her chain sword up as Tobias created two lancers.

Tobias: You're not 100%...

Valencia: Barely 50…

Tobias: Same…

Valencia: I guess together we may have a chance.

Xander stands as he winces as he looks to see Tobias and Valencia standing side by side, ready for his attack as Xander pats the dust off of him and spins his sword as he charges ahead ready to kill.
