[b] After her rooftop conversation with Etana, she is intrigued about Lance, the swordsman she knows nothing about. She messages him.[/b] [i] Lance, what are you doing right now?[/i] [i] Why?[/i] [i] Because I was wondering about your sword, Savior you called it?[/i] [i] What about it?[/i] [i] Where'd you get it?[/i] [i] That isn't any of your concern Jessica.[/i] [b] She stops typing, her heart pounding in anticipation.[/b] [i] How do you know that?[/i] [i] I know people. Why'd you lie?[/i] [i] Because I want nothing to do with my past life.[/i] [i] Understandable.[/i] [i] That doesn't give you a right to snoop into my past.[/i] [i] I don't need a right. When you told me you trained with Rorik, I had to know more about you. The girl who was worthy of the SantoRyu style.[/i] [i] Rorik said he'd only teach the best.[/i] [i] Then why didnt he teach me?[/i] [i] Because you aren't the best Lance.[/i] [i] There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance Blade. Don't cross it.[/i] [i] I can wield three swords at once. I was taught by the master himself. I. Am. The. Best. May.[/i] [i] There's the arrogance. You have no idea who you're talking to.[/i] [i] I don't care. I will be the worlds best swordsman. No matter what it costs me.[/i] [i] How can you do that if I'm still here Trinity?[/i] [i] How about I fix that? Meet me Downtown in 10 minutes. And I'll show you who's the best.[/i] [i] Whatever you say.. Jessica.[/i] [b] 10 Minutes later Trinity arrives downtown, to see Lance leaning against a building, looking calm and at ease. She calls, [/b] "You act like you aren't about to lose Lance." "That's because I'm not." "We'll see." [b] Trinity says as she unsheathes her 3 katanas, two in her hands and one in her mouth, as Lance unsheathes Savior.[/b] "One sword can't beat three Lance." "That's the attitude that's going to get you killed Jessica." "Don't call me that!" [b] She yells as she rushes at Lance with a barrage of blows, her 3 swords a whirlwind of steel in the air, but Lance blocks effortlessly, quickly, and with ease. He sidesteps so Trinity goes sprawling past him.[/b] "You can't win Jessica. Stop now." [b] She gets back up silently, sprinting at Lance with renewed speed, swinging twice as fast, but getting blocked twice as easily. She stops and steps back.[/b] "How the hell are you doing this?! 3 years I've trained, day in and day out, and you shut me down like I'm nothing!" [b] Lance smirks.[/b] "Don't ever think you're better than you are Trinity. Because there will always be someone better." [b] This pisses Trinity off even more, and she screames as she comes at Lance with two side cuts, which he cross blocks, and she comes with an overhead cut which he slips past and opens up a cut in her side.[/b] [i] Is this what real power is?[b] She thinks, clutching her side.[/b][/i] "Stop it Trinity. Don't make me kill you." [i] I have to be the best, she says while she readjusts her grip on her swords.[/i] [b] She charges at Lance with almost in human speed, and Lance sprints at her. A Ching of metal is heard when they flash past each other. All the debris in the area is pushed by a force of outward wind, as Trinity's swords are cut in half, and Lance straightens, unscathed.[/b] [b] Lance pounces on Trinity, his blade at her throat.[/b] "I told you to quit. And you didn't listen." [b] Trinity struggles as she seems to take what she thinks are her last breaths.[/b] ((Sorry for the novel, open to people breaking it up.))
