Chapter 6: The duel

I do my usual routine as I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock and jogging around the neighborhood. Then I go to school and train with Zackary. I already made my lunch in the kitchen in the cafeteria. I change into my clothes and pull on my hood. The day goes by fast as I play with Silver and Lightning at Nutrition. Esa continues to torture me with his devices. Then finally lunch comes along. 

"Are you ready?" Zackary gives me two swords. I look at their sides. "Fire and ice." I laugh. "Opposites, but work together so perfectly."Zackary chuckles and goes to sit down in the crowd. We were in the arena, where the whole school was watching. I plug in my ear buds and play music. I walk out and I see Blake smiling. He says something, but I cannot hear him. My music is on high and I see him get into his stance. I slowly breathe in and out. I start to sing along with my song. 

"Well, I'm not a vampire, but I feel like one." He runs towards me and slashes me. I dodge easily. "Sometimes I sleep all day because I hate the sunlight." He thrusts and I keep dodging. I block one of his attacks, but I just keep on singing. "My hands are always shaking, my body's always aching, and the dark is when I feed." He cuts for the neck, but it was a bad move. He cuts my earbuds and the music stops. 

I pull out my earbuds and charge towards him, but something holds me back. I can't breathe. I can't move. Then I can't see. Finally, I can see again and I see a large corridor. There were many doors, but most of them were closed. "You there." I turn to see a pale guy floating. "Who are you?" He chuckles. "I'm Anton. I used to be the vampire king." I back into a wall. "No don't be afraid, I'm just a soul that was manifested in you." I shake my head. "What does that mean?" He sighs. "You should know that every guardian has another soul inside. That soul is what gives the guardian power. The more souls you have the more power you have. But there is one catch. Your body has to be able to contain all the souls. If the body cannot contain the amount if souls it sucks up, then the body or person dies." I nod thinking he was giving me a history lesson. "Let's go and join the others." I nod hesitantly and follow him. 

Meanwhile outside his body. . . .

There was no movement in his body. The body just stood there, just like a ragdoll. "This is my chance!" Blake rushes forward towards Four's body, but then he is hit from behind. The wind is knocked out of Blake and he falls to the floor. Then Four laughs and Zackary jumps off from the seats. He points his sword at Four. "Who are you?" Four stops laughing. "Who am I?" Zackary gets in a stance, about to attack. "I'm going to beat you into a pulp." Then Four rushes forward and slashes at Zackary. Zackary barely blocks it, sending sparks everywhere. Four hops back and rushes again. Mercilessly hacking away at Zackary. The other teachers of the academy face Four. 

"HAHAHA! YOU ALL WANT TO DUEL ME! WELL, DON'T HOLD BACK!" Then all the teachers charge at Four.

Inside his body. . . .

"So, what is this place?" Anton floats as he makes me follow him. "This is the soul barrier. It keeps us inside of you, but when you fight without listening to music then you are taken by one of the souls. Right now, you are overtaken by one of your souls. A serial killer, by the name of Deathbringer." We stop and I see people just gathered around. "Hey, guys I brought him." Everyone turns and faces me. "Welcome, Master Four." I turn to face a tall old guy with white hair.

"Um. . .  who are you?" He laughs and strokes his long beard. "I am known as Oshita, the white devil." I remember from the textbooks his name. "The famous guardian assassin." He chuckles and nods. "So you have heard of me. Well, people of your time have talked about me, but I assume you made an assassin of this time." I click my tongue and look away. "But you will return to control very soon." I sigh and look at Anton and Oshita. "Why is this happening to me?" Anton and Oshita look at each other.

Outside his body. . . 

"I am Deathbringer. Prepare yourself." He licks Fire and smiles. Zackary looks at him. "But you're dead." Deathbringer laughs and it echoes throughout the whole arena. "Yes I am, but I'm in this new body, which that boy has gracefully opened up for me." He points to Blake and laughs. "Now, I'm going to kill every single one of you." He runs at the teachers with amazing speed. They charge at him, but since Deathbringer was so quick that the teachers couldn't hit him. "HAHAHAHAHA! You can't even touch me. How can you get your precious student back. . . ." He clutches his chest and drops both Fire and Ice. "T...This can't . . . be. . ." He falls to the ground and doesn't get back up. 

I open my eyes and I'm on the floor. "Ugh. . . what happened?" I see the teachers point their weapons at me. "Whoa, Whoa." I wave my hands in my face. "Come on guys. It's me Four." Zackary looks at me and nods. "Yeah, it's him." They draw back their weapons and helps me up. "Sorry about that." I scratch my head and sigh. "What was that about?" I clear my throat and Zackary takes me to his office. 

"Why is the famous serial, Deathbringer, in your body?" I shrug. "He is one of my guardian souls. When I fight, I have to keep my souls busy or else one of them will take over me while I'm fighting." Zackary seems to ponder this. "Yes, your guardian souls. Just in case we are going to check them every year since they seem to change as they awaken. Have you seen any of them?" I nod. "I have quite a few. I met King Anton and Oshita." Zackary smiles. "Really, then that means..." I shake my head. "Don't even try it." He leans back into his seat as I pet both Silver and Lightning. "But why doesn't it work on when you are training." I shrug as I pet both pets behind their ear. "Possibly since, I know and my souls know that I'm not fighting for real. So then they aren't that excited." Zackary nods and I leave. I enter my next class and the day passes by. Everyone stayed away from me that day and I only had my team with me. By the time that I got back home, I had to perform all over the world as Truth.
