"DIE!!!" The hunter screams as he charges right for Tetsuga. With a newfound determination after seeing Derrick being attacked and wounded. He faces the hunter head on and decides to catch their blade with his hand as it pierces through it like butter. "Not!" Tetsuga shouts. Throwing his arm to the side along with their sword. "On your!" Tetsuga continues before landing a critical blow straight to their face as it cracks the mask even more though not enough to shatter it completely off. "Life!!" He finishes as the hunter gets flung backwards by the hit. They luckily catch themselves with their legs as they skid to a stop. Tetsuga pulls the sword out of his hand as he winces in pain from it before taking it with him. The hunter whips their head back forward but then notices that Tetsuga had started running towards the castle wall and started to scale it with his sword in hand. "Come get me!!" Tetsuga taunts which prompts the hunter to run after him and scale the wall as well.
"I'm coming for ya Derrick! Just hold on!" Tetsuga yells as he scales it up the wall towards the broken window. The hunter however, wasted no time and started running up the wall. Defying gravity almost. Tetsuga glances down and sees this feat of his and executes his plan. "If you love your sword so much! Go and get it!" Tetsuga exclaims before throwing the sword straight up into the air. The hunter plants his two feet firmly onto the wall and pushes off gaining a massive boost up. He nears Tetsuga in mere seconds but in those seconds, Tetsuga leaps off of the wall in a backflip as the hunter just about misses him. And as time slowed down for him, the shots lined up like a solar eclipse as the hunter was now directly in front of him and the broken mirror. At this point, he had little to no more mana left to use. But Derricks' safety mattered more to him in this instance and gave him enough reason to push through and force himself over the limit and use his magic to latch onto the wall with both hands. And with a mighty pull, he flings himself towards the hunter with both feet at the front. His feet connect and smash the hunter through the already broken window with him. The hunter's body hits Mortimer's back as both of them get sent flying straight into the wall, creating a big dent on it before falling to the floor.
Tetsuga lands onto the floor on his back as he takes a moment to lay still and take a breather. "How.... Ya like that.... Punk..." Tetsuga mutters in-between breaths before gradually getting up from the floor. "Tetsuga... Thank you for saving me... Again." Derrick thanked him as Tetsuga helped him up. "Don't sweat it. You're not alone in this fight. Not as long as I'm here." Tetsuga says as he dusts off a little snow from his shoulder. "He's still alive!?" Mortimer yells which gets the attention of the other two. "Quiet! You don't order me!" The hunter scolds as he gets up to fight again. Tetsuga gets into a fighting position with Derrick on his side. "Derrick. Go for the sword. I'll handle the masquerading douche." Tetsuga says before quickly turning a 180 and forces out one more out of him as he catches the sword he threw earlier outside with his magic and flings it straight at them like a bullet. The hunter strafes to the left and dodges the sword as it imbeds itself deep into the wall before spinning around as he takes it then proceeds to start slashing at Tetsuga.
The two then start to duke out on each other again as Derrick sets his sights for the sword. He quickly limps over to it but gets stopped as Mortimer lunges at him and pins him back down to the ground. "Derrick!" Tetsuga glances for a second at Derricks' direction before getting judo thrown across the room by the Hunter as his back hits the wall. "Ough!" Tetsuga grunts as he lands on the floor. "You ruin everything!!" Mortimer says as he goes to stab Derrick in the face but the boy blocks it with his forearm. Once he stopped the attack, he shoved their arm to the side and headbutted them as his metal goggles impact their nose with a crunch "Grah!" Mortimer shouts in pain before Derrick uses his good leg to kick him off of him as they then land on their back while clutching their bloody and bruised nose. Derrick quickly gets back up and finally gets the sword. "I got it!" Derrick exclaimed which the hunter noticed. "Uh oh..." They then start heading over to Derrick but Tetsuga shows up behind them and socks them in the back of the head before grabbing onto their back and throwing them over to the wall.
"Hands off the kid!!" Tetsuga shouts as he sends a straight punch towards them. They Lean their head away as it hits the wall before punching Tetsuga elbow. "Agh!!" They then spin kick him in the stomach as he stumbles back. "Mr. Tetsuga! Right. gotta do it quickly!" Derrick realizes that they're running out of time and proceeds to place the red gemstone on the sword's missing spot. But then the boy realizes that the red gemstone he needed was missing from his hands. "Oh no! The red gemstone is gone!" Derrick exclaims in a worried tone. "DIE!!" Mortimer has finally regained himself and starts to attack Derrick again. This time, with a broken chair leg. With little options, Derrick decides to use the sword in his hands to block their strikes as best he could. Luckily Mortimer wasn't known for any swordsmanship so the two were somewhat evenly matched. But for Tetsuga versus the hunter however. Not so much. They continue on to trade blows with each other. With the hunter's weakened state, he was able to hold his own. Throwing punches left and right while dodging their sword slashes were slowly getting too much for him so something needed to happen quickly or else He's gonna die.
He manages to put him and the hunter in a standstill as he holds the hunter's wrist that holds the sword and the hunter holding his fist while they glare at each other. "Derrick! The sword!" Tetsuga shouts since they desperately needed it right about now. "The gemstone is missing! I dropped it somewhere in the room!" Derrick quickly replied while fending off Mortimer. "You're running out of luck." The hunter says to Tetsuga's face before swinging both his arms to the side. Tetsuga gets whipped in that direction before getting his neck caught in the hunter's left arm before getting trapped in a chokehold. "Ack!" As the hunter tries to choke tetsuga out, he notices a red speck in some snow. Looking closer at it, he finds it to be the red gemstone that they needed. All Tetsuga needed to do now was get out of this chokehold and toss the gem over. But it proved to be a little difficult since he was locked in tight.
"D- Derrick!..." Tetsuga tries to call in some help from Derrick who sees his predicament. Now faced with two tasks at hand, he creates a little distance between him and Mortimer so he could think up a way to help Tetsuga. He looked around for anything he could use and found the mount the sword was on earlier. Thinking fast, he dodges a lunge from Mortimer before quickly taking the mounting piece and throwing it over at the Hunter. The hunter gets hit straight in the face which loosens his hold on Tetsuga. Giving them enough of an opportunity to slip slip and elbow them in the face. Knocking the hunter onto his back. "ITS OVER!!" Mortimer screams like a maniac and tries to bash Derricks' head in with the chair leg. The boy luckily dodges it which had Mortimer create a hole in the wall instead. He pulls it out and menacingly approaches Derrick. "You think you have power over me!? I'm better than you! Powerful even! If I had it my way, this kingdom would already be neck deep in war and riches!! But you just had to SCREW IT ALL UP!!" Mortimer starts rambling as he clutches the leg tighter in both his hands. "I've worked so hard to get to this position! AND IM NOT GONNA LET A WASTE OF SPACE KID, TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!!!"
With scream, Mortimer rushes towards Derrick at full speed. "DERRICK!! CATCH!" Tetsuga yells and quickly grabs the gemstone from the snow and tosses it over to Derrick who catches it in his hand and immediately places it on the missing spot of the sword. Though, he didn't have enough time to see if it worked or not as Mortimer was already too close and was about to clobber Derrick to death. So in one motion, Derrick raises the sword up to block the swing. But as soon as the leg hit the blade. In a split second. The sword began to shine brightly as a sun before being followed by a boom and a very big crash as Mortimer got launched away from some sort of knockback from the sword as he not only got launched at high speeds but also broke through the wall behind him. Sending him straight outside onto the concrete as debris and dust came with. And without a doubt, Mortimer had been felled as he not only broke his back from the hit and also the fall, but he was knocked out completely. With no chances of getting back up as he laid motionless on the floor.
"In the name of Cerion, that was fucking nuts Derrick! How hard you hit the guy!?" Tetsuga, after reeling from The sudden light then immediate crash after which blew up dust and snow I side the room, asks how a boy like him managed to knock a grown adult back so hard they crash through the wall. "I don't know. The sword must've had a very strong knockback enchantment which activated after I placed the gem back where it belonged." Derrick assessed the moment. Racking his brain around the prowess of the sword in his hands. But as he looked over at Tetsuga, the Hunter had gotta back up and was about to slice Tetsuga right in the back. "Mr. Tetsuga! Behind you!" He warns before quickly tossing the sword over to him. Realizing what was happening, Tetsuga swiftly catches the sword then turns around to swat the hunter away like batting away a baseball. "BEGONE!!!" And with one hit, the sword glowed again and a bigger crash was heard right after as the blow blasts open the wall and sends the Hunter flying over the wall and into a warehouse a few blocks away from the castle. And with that, they had finally won. The hunter was now gone and the Royal adviser was very much not waking up from his injuries anytime soon. The two share the moment in silence before Tetsuga erupts into a cheer. Reveling in the strength of the sword he had wielded.
"Derrick!! Did you see that!? I sent him flying so far!! This sword is amazing! We should totally keep this with us! This thing is broken! Tetsuga rambles on to Derrick as Derrick proceeds to point out something important to him. "Well... About that Mr. Tetsuga... The sword is, well... broken." Derrick tells him but Tetsuga seems to not get it yet. "That's what I said." He says. "I meant it in the literal sense Mr. Tetsuga." The boy replies as he points over to the sword as Tetsuga's eyes follow and finally sees that the sword had split in several different parts on the blade which only left the hilt intact in his hands. "Aahh!! When the heck did that happen!?" Tetsuga screams in surprise as he finally notices the broken weapon. But then soon after that, several knights came storming in through the door and saw the carnage and destruction that befell the office. "INTRUDERS!! GET THEM!!" then without hesitation, the knights try and arrest the two of them for trespassing, destroying property and as well as assaulting the royal adviser. One of the knights tried to grab Derrick but got hit in the face by a sword hilt which prevents them from getting any closer. "That's our cue buddy! Let's bounce!" Tetsuga quickly runs over to Derrick, puts him over his shoulder and proceeds to jump out of the big open hole that he made earlier after smacking the hunter to kingdom come.
And as he lands onto the ground and sped off in a sprint, away from the pursuing knights. Marked their victory against their two foes. They eventually got away from the knights and went into hiding. But now, after all of this. After this night... They were now officially wanted criminals as by sunrise, each and every corner of the city was plastered with both their faces in wanted posters. Leaving them with no other place to go, but the shadows....
