***NoTe
As soon as Stitch told me and Rev to kill him I knew he was serious. Stitch blitzes us he hits Rev with a uppercut and then throws a spinning elbow at my stomach.
I couldn't even block in time I go flying through a wall and land on the grass outside. I can hear Rev trying to get up. All I can think about though is how i've grown to care for Stitch as a teacher.
My first and only father figure. However, right now that doesn't matter. Stitch gave us an order to kill him. I will follow it and finish the job.
I run back into the building. The only advantage being blind gives me is that Stitch can't disappear from my echolocation. Even if he faster than me i'll still hear him coming.
I can't use any shadows because of the sunlight. So I have to take Stitch into hand to hand combat. Rev just lays there. Dazed. I can tell he doesn't know what to think.
" Get up and help me Rev!" I yell at him.
He doesn't respond Stitch then says. " You think you have the luxury to talk while fighting me."
Then he proceeds to severe my hand with an Ice blade. " Back in the slums they called me The Doctor who kills. I'll show you how I earned it" Stitch says in a menacing tone.
The shadows are apart of me and i'm apart of the shadows. So they can reattach my hand but it takes time.
Since Rev is still processing the thought of killing Stitch i'll have to defend myself. I never showed Stitch this but I can go into my shadow. So that's what I do.
Since Stitch was rushing me he stepped into my shadow. Which was a mistake because now I can pull him into it. I jump out of and go to Rev. Stitch will only stay stuck for around 45 seconds if that.
" Get the fuck up and fight Rev" I say.
" But I can't, I can't kill Stitch" Rev responds.
"Then would you rather see me die fighting to protect us?" I say back.
After I said that Rev immediately got up and got himself together. He used telekinesis to bring his guns over and made fire weapons for me. I didn't realize he was so talented with his mana. He can use two different mana types at once.
This isn't the time to be impressed though. Since Stitch just broke through my shadow and it hadn't even been 15 seconds.
Stitch broke it but he was met with bombs from Rev. Rev has improved a lot. He was easily able to switch from long range using his pistols to close range with them.
With the way he incorporated using guns in his fighting style he must've learned Systema. It helped a lot. Even though Stitch still had an advantage. We were landing hits on him.
I stayed in close range at all time. I never let him knock me back if he tried I would use the shadows to keep my footing.
That was dangerous though. If I accidentally slipped into the shadows while he was throwing a punch he could take my head off. I had to be so exact and close with my movements that it was like. Writing with my left hand and drawing with my right.
I couldn't understand how I was doing it. How I was improving while fighting Stitch. I started dodging more hits and landing more. My attacks became more refined and accurate because, of that it made it easier for Rev to land his shots.
Even though he never missed Stitch would either catch them with his hands or block them with ice. It's not like Rev was shooting normal bullets that went past the speed of sound. He was amping them with fire so they were at least 3 times the speed.
I never knew how much it really hurt getting hit. At one point Stitch connected a clean left hook right with my chin. I passed out but the people in the shadows woke me up.
I went straight back to fighting Stitch. This was different though he started heating up the water to make steam around us. The water was hotter than Revs fire. Rev is having no problem moving in and out of close range. We've always been in sync there is no reason for us to talk in battle.
I can keep up with Stitch but I cant pierce his ice. He has started wearing armor around himself which resembles a knight. With a long blue blade that has taken a lot of my blood.
Rev has been trying to stay unscathed. However Stitch is so combat trained he is sending Ice spears at Rev. While fighting me at the same time.
I think It's because he has kept both of us in his vision the entire time. He doesn't have echolocation like me. Rev has stayed out of the mana field he made so he can't sense him within it.
The only way to give Rev a proper shot is to push Stitch's vision somewhere else. While training under Stitch. I learned the different ways of using mana. Enhancement allows you to enhance your physical capabilities and can even stop aging.
Release allows you to release the mana outside of your body. You can wrap your body with mana protecting yourself or you can make an mana field.
The mana field allows you to sense things that come into the field with some exceptions depending on why you want the field.
Then you have mana technique. Which is things like Stitch's water or Rev's flames. Mana techniques can be advanced as well depending on how creative the user is.
So if I wrap my mana around my arm in a tornado motion and make a palm. Then press it towards his chest it should send him flying back. I'll name it eventually.
Using that attack I send Stitch flying. Rev of course knew what I was planning and had an insane bullet already shot to hit Stitch.
Stitch though is better than I thought and blocks it. He doesn't get the block fully in though it does some damage. However I was expecting him to block it anyway.
I learned that after Stitch had stepped into my shadow I got connected with his. Pretty much I could teleport into his shadow. So I do that and shove my hand through his chest and rip his heart out.
Stitch drops and I catch him before he fully falls. Blood is leaking from his mouth I know he is dying there isn't healing this one.
Rev comes over but he doesn't say anything yet.
" I truly loved you boys and trained you as if you two were my own sons. I believe you two will challenge the gods someday" Stitch says.
He lets out a horrific cough before continuing.
" NoTe avoid the devil Beelzebub at all costs. I don't know why he wants you both dead but I do know that his main focus was you. "
Rev speaks up and says. " We loved you too i'll pray for your safe passage through the gates of hell".
Stitch smiles and says one last thing " If you two ever meet a man named Travis Kendrath. Tell him that you are my sons."
That was the last thing I heard come out of Stitch's mouth he died smiling. Even though it was us who killed him he died smiling.
