My world is shadow and light

"Oh this is just too fun!" I scream at the top of my lungs flying through the air.

"I am going to BUCKING kill you!" Awwww Ash your so cute when you want to decapitate me. I laugh at her and how she's holding on for dear life. I look to the ground and see Drew's bike speeding a little way behind me. We have been traveling for a week now without incident and were only about a day away from the next town. I turn back to wants in front of me too see a rift opening up above me. Not knowing what it is I decided to nose dive to try and get to Drew and Artmus. When I catch up I signal them to slow down. When the finally stop Drew looks at me like somethings wrong.

"Take Ash now!" I let go of Ash and speed of back towards the rift. I get to the rift in ten seconds flat thanks to my speed. I hover there flapping to maintain my position. After a little bit I hear a roar from the rift, and not knowing what's going to come through I fly up out of the way. Good thing too because as soon as I flew up a slim black dragon flies under at nearly mach 1. As soon as it's tail leave, the rift starts to close again. I turn around to get a lightning bolt to the face. I fall for a good 5 seconds losing a good bit of air.

"So your Nox the infamous ex-shadow knight. I had better hopes for you, but it seems to me that you are as slow as a rock." I look to the neck of the dragon to see a blonde haired kid that looks a little bit older than me waving a staff around. He was also wearing the traditional shadow armor of a S class fighter. He grabs a spine of the dragon and whispers something in it's ear. No later then a second the dragon was already nearly to me.

"Oh shit" I dived, narrowly missing the dragon. I feel magic charging above me. 'Damn I really shouldn't have given them that warning about shadow magic.' I dodge again looking for him but I couldn't find them. I felt air on the back of my neck move slightly I duck just in time to avoid the dragon biting my head off. 'Ok I've had enough of this.' I pull out my sword and wait for them to appear again. Sooner then I hoped I got my wish because I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I duck and swing around with my sword hoping to strike a hit, and as luck would have for me I did. Right across the dragons chest cavity. The dragon roared in pain and lost some air from forgetting to flap. 'Ok it's time to ground this fight.' I wait again for them to attack from behind. Again I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up again. 'Man these guys are predictable.' I duck once again, but this time I try and aim for the wings. I nicked the right one but enough for the beast to roar in pain. Taking this to my advantage I charge them and land on the dragon's back.

"So you wish to fight me on my dragon's own back. You are truly foolish."

"Who said I was up here to fight you." I grinned menacingly at the kid. For a second I saw confusion in his eyes, but they turned to fear when I slashed the webbing in the dragon's wing. I saw him try and heal the wound but with air going through the hole and ripping it bigger there was no way to heal it. Knowing that this was going one way fast I jumped of and spread my wings and flew back to the ground and wait for them. After about five minutes I see the dragon roaring and turned around and folded the boy in his wings and waited for the impact. To say the impact was huge is an understatement, for the shock wave was enough to knock me off my feet. I get up and walk to the edge just to have my daily course of lightning and blood.

"I will kill you for killing Ventis!" The boy said while walking up the crater. He had rage in his eyes, and I could feel the magice seeping off of him.

"Oh this is going to be interesting." I grin like a maniac waiting for him to charge. He doesn't disappoint. He charges me turning his staff into a long sword. We both collide with our blades meeting in the middle. With our fight our magic starts to change the weather because it's starts to rain. We pay little heed to it as we both charge again. I slash downward charging my blade with magic but the kid blocked with his own. It stayed like this for awhile where no one could gain leverage. After awhile I come up with a new plan, and this is gonna rock. He charges me again but instead of moving my sword to block I let him stab me in the stomach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'I actually got him this time! I finally landed a blow.' I watch as he lowers his head and starts to go limp. 'Oh thank god he's finally-' I felt something cold slash my arm off ans with it came indescribable pain. I started to scream.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hearing the kid scream just seemed to fuel me more as I slide off his blade. I was still grinning like no tomorrow. After the kid stopped screaming he did something surprising, he turned his sword back to a staff and cast a fireball spell on his arm. 'That's badass.' He soon got over the shock of losing his arm because his face went back to anger and determination.

"I am going to kill you!" He screamed charging me again. I lost a lot of blood with the stunt I pulled. I slowed down too much and started to take more and more hits while I was trying to defend myself. I decided that this was going nowhere fast and needed more power. I reach to tear of my seal for the rosario but it wouldn't come off.

"I put a spell that makes it were you can't remove the seal. Now die!" I take my hand off the seal and move my hand in front of me and I caught the blade in mid-strike. 'God! That hurts like hell.' While holding the blade I brought my sword up and giving the kid one last look I drove the blade through his heart. Once the life left his eyes I dropped to my knees from exhaustion, and pass out.

(End of music)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Nox left me with Drew I begged him to follow them but he said he couldn't do anything in the air. I started to worry about him so I started to run in the direction in which they were flying in. I hear Drew ride up beside me looking at me.

"Need a ride." He said while holding out his hand for me. I take it and hope on behind him and wrap my arms around him. 'Awww look at that he's blushing.' After ride for what feels like forever we feel and huge shock wave that send the bike flying. In midair Drew spins around and does a flip and lands gracefully on his feet, me well I got a face full of dirt. I get back up to see a dust cloud a little ways off so I start running. I soon come to the battlefield in which Nox was just to see him take a sword to the stomach. Something broke inside me when I saw that, it was like a little piece of me just dissipated. I fall to my knees when I see his body go limp, but I was relieved when he looked up and slashed the kid's arm off. I watch as the boy singed his arm to stop the bleeding. Soon Nox catches his blade and drives his sword through the kid's heart. After they both fell I ran over to Nox to see multiple wounds all over his body and he has lost a lot of blood. I blow fire on him to close most of the wounds even if I burned him in the process. I look over my shoulder to see Drew and Artmus behind me.

"We have too help him now!" I screamed at them, tears in my eyes. Artmus changed to a little extension on the bike so we could lay Nox and let me ride at the same time.

"Ok we have a little more weight so we are going to a bit slower."

"We can't go any slower or else Nox is gonna die!" With that Drew speeds off trying to get to the nearest town. I started to cry again thinking we wouldn't make it. 'Please be okay Nox, I don't want to lose you.'
