Arthur and Kagekawa stood in the middle of a forest.
"It's time we find out about your new abilities."
"My weapon. How do I summon it?"
"How the hell should I know? Figure it out! Everyone's weapon is unique. Ability. Shape. Object. Everything about it reflects you as a person deep down. Something not even you know of. It turns your true soul into a tangible object, which you may be able to use in battle. Understand? Now get on with it!"
"I would if I knew how! Goddamit!"
"No matter." Kagekawa stretched out his hand, manifesting a large axe.
"An axe?! Last time you had a katana? What happen-"
Kagekawa rushed forward, leading with an impactful vertical swing, which narrowly missed Arthur by a hair as he dodged. It planted on the ground, cracking it by the sheer force.
"Fool! Your enemy won't talk with you."
"Shit! Are you trying to kill me?! If that hit me I would've be-"
Kagekawa's eyes locked on Arthur, and he closed the distance instantaneously. Arthur almost lost track of Kagekawa even though he was right in front of him. His eyes resembled that of a starving tiger spotting an unsuspecting deer.
"Shit! He's seriously going to kill me."
Arthur took out his sword and clashed with Kagekawa's axe. His hands were shaking at the impact, just barely being able to parry and grow distance once again.
"What's the point in running Arthur? You act as if I can't close this gap within a second!" Kagekawa exclaimed with excitement.
"Shit! He's right in front of my face again."
Kagekawa swung horizontally, grazing Arthur's stomach. Undoubtedly, if Arthur hadn't just barely escaped Kagekawa's attack just now he would've had his stomach cut open.
"You crazy old man!" Arthur with his hand, held his gut. He looked at his palm. "Blood?! Shit...he's planning to kill me."
Arthur stanced himself.
"Do you finally get it, Arthur? You'll die right here if you don't take this seriously!"
Kagekawa rushed in, letting out a flurry of attacks. No matter sword, spear or axe he was nothing short of a master when wielding any type of weapon. Each swing was skillfully executed with such brilliance. However, Arthur couldn't take a moment to admire his technique as any moment of admiration or unfocus would surely lead to his death.
Arthur had been getting shallow cuts all around his body, unable to keep up with Kagekawa's attacks that were seemingly simultaneous to that of his next attack.
"My eyes can't keep up. He's aiming for my tendons and these cuts are making my whole body weak. Shit! Shit! What can I do?! At this rate, I'll lose too much blood."
"Let me take over for a bit will you?!" Arthur felt a hand on his shoulder, yet no one was there.
"You're humiliating the both of us! Give me control you dipshit!"
Arthur's eyes turned completely white, and just then, Kagekawa's blow was parried, and sparks appeared.
"Tch!" Kagekawa was pushed back a little.
Just then Arthur clutched his hand tightly onto his face and ripped off its skin?! In just a few moments, a white mask manifested on top of his peeled-off face.
Kagekawa was in shock. "His clothes, there completely different!"
Arthur was wearing a white mask that covered the upper part of his face. He was attired with long black robes.
"Shit! That feels good!"
Arthur's voice sounded distorted.
"Your not Arthur are you?"
"Of course I'm Arthur. Who else would I be?! Matter of fact, who the hell are you? Were you the one that gave me all these fucking scars?!! That shit really hurts you know! I'll kill you!"
Arthur dashed forward at Kagekawa; his fighting style had changed. He was barraging Kagekawa with an onslaught of vicious attacks!
Kagekawa deflected each and every one. However, Arthur didn't waver.
"Shit! Shit! Shit! Just hurry up and die already!"
Amidst the back and forth of attacks and parries, Arthur's weapon started to chip.
"Die! Die! Die!"
"What ferocity! Arthur get ahold of yourself!"
"I am Arthur! Die! Die! Die!"
Kagekawa with one great swing, destroyed Arthur's blade completely.
"Godammit! Shit! Shit! You broke my blade! My fucking blade!"
Kagekawa swung his mighty axe, leaving a trail of blood across Arthur's chest. Arthur then fell on both his knees. Defeated.
"Arthur! Have you come to your senses?" Kagekawa reached out his arm, gesturing for him to grab it and get up.
Just then, like a wild beast, Arthur pounced on Kagekawa and was showing his teeth. No! They were fangs!
"Fangs? What a troublesome form you've taken, Arthur!"
Kagekawa pushed back Arthur.
"Come to your senses already, Arthur!"
"I'll fucking mu-already huh? Shit! Let me kill him. I'm so clo-"
"-Get the hell out of my body! Haah! Haah! "
Arthur panted heavily. The white mask shattered and his face seemed normal. His clothes reverted back to his previous attire.
"Arthur? Are you ok?"
Arthur then laid flat on his back out of exhaustion. "I think...that was my weapon." He then passed out.
Kagekawa thought to himself for a moment.
"It's too early to tell how far that ability will take him...but he's definitely a special case. It was almost as if he turned into a completely different person. No doubt about it, that mask and those clothes must be his weapon."
