The god!
Vaslet's fist flame grew brighter. He jumped as him and Collette came close. He sent the punch down to her face. She managed to grab his arm, pushing it aside slightly so it just missed her head. Vaslet looked over his arm, to see Collette smiling slightly, he smiled too. She sent a kick to his side while pulling on his arm slightly. However, Vaslet hardly moved. Collette's eyes widened slightly, she knew he was strong but not this strong. Vaslet grabbed her leg. With this he span, taking out her other leg with his and throwing her to the side. She quickly recovered, flipping herself to her feet again. "Seems we both underestimated each other. I thought you would be slowly" Vaslet told Collette.Collette poised herself as done before. "And I thought you'd talk less...But while you are. Just...Why?"
"I didn't!" Vaslet started pacing back and forth. "I had a sister to look after, a sick mother, a master who treated me like a son, the king even saw me as a son an-and..." He stopped second and looked at Collette. "I had someone who once loved me...Hell we were going to get married two days after the king had gone down...Then when he did...I had nothing, my master didn't know what to think, my mother died from all the shit that was going on, my sister hates me and my "future wife"...She was the only beside me...But no you locked me up and I lost her...She's found someone else now...And that's because of YOUR WAR! WHY WOULD I RUIN THAT FOR MYSELF?"
Collette was slightly shocked by all this. "I-I, b-but the court th-they-"
"NO!" Vaslet raised his fists again. "F*CK RAIDEN, F*CK HIS KIND, F*CK YOUR COURT...AND F*CK YOUR KIND!" Vaslet went running right at her now. He sent a powerful punch her way. She just managed to move out the way. She followed up with a swift kick to his head. Vaslet took it, but hardly staggered and just punched her in the stomach. It staggered her back. "I shouldn't hit a girl...But a Dancer" Vaslet said walking up to her. He punched her in the face three times, following up with a uppercut to her stomach. With one final motion he sent his foot upwards and into her face. This sent her up and to the floor with a load thud. Despite all that she slowly got up. Her left check had a nasty blood mark and her nose was bleeding. "Everyone's nose is bleeding today I swear" She said under her breath. She stood up and though to herself. 'Okay, he's much stronger than me...But he's a Ember, meaning fire is the only reason I'm taking as much damage as I am. And water beats fire so cutting it off should cut his power in half" She calculated her next moves carefully. Vaslet on the other hand just came running. She sent a small wave from the floor his way. He just jumped over it. But she knew he would. So she sent another larger one from behind him towards him. Vaslet turned and took it head on, trying to block it almost. However it was much more powerful than he thought and it knocked him back and over. Collette smiled and summoned a large spout of water from below him. This sent him up into the air. She then jumped just high enough to send a flying kick to his head. Which sent him to the floor again. However the kick was followed by a spout of water. Which hit him when he landed. Sending him into a wall. Finally she ran at him, slamming a kick into his chest. Powerful enough to hit him through the wall.
After he had gone through the wall he landed on a table, a large on. Collette walked through the hole in the wall. Vaslet stood up and looked around. "Where the hell?" He turned around and saw a large glass containing a light. No it had a large spark bouncing around in it. "THE SPARK? WHOA!" Vaslet had never seen the spark.
"Wow...It looks fantastic" Collette stepped on the table and beside Vaslet.
"I never saw it in my life" Vaslet started walking along the table.
Collette grabbed his shoulder. "Hey...I may have stopped kicking you ass but you can't go near that"
Vaslet in repose to the "Ass kicking" comment said. "How's that bloody nose hun?"
"Ohhh, piss off!" She let go of him and looked at the spark again. "I-I'm Collette by the way Vaslet"
"It's a pleasure Collette" Vaslet turned and looked her, smiling and he turned back.
"GET OUT OF THERE!" Collette and Vaslet turned around to see Raiden with 5 guards either side of him. "You BOTH shouldn't be in here"
"Piss of Raiden, we were fightin'...You never did show me this...I'm making up for that" Vaslet turned back and looked at the spark.
Marissa came through the hole. "Whoa...Wait we all friends now?"
Collette looked at her. "Right now I don't care"
Raiden looked at the ground. "Guards, leave us please" The guards all soon left one by one. Raiden walked over to the end of the table and sat down. Soon after Vaslet came over and sat next to him. Marissa and Collette saw and soon followed, sitting next to each other but opposite the boys.
"Raiden..." Vaslet broke the silence. "I'm sorry about your farther...I really, really am...I just..."
"Vaslet stop...Just don't...I know you're sorry...I have to tell you something" Raiden was being very careful with his words. "I, I never had a say in your punishment...We'll I did but I didn't want to"
"Wait...Wait, wait...You mean you could have broke the tie?" Vaslet rose from his seat.
"Raiden, you...You said you locked him up for a reason" Collette spoke up all of a sudden. Marissa remained silent.
"Vaslet...I'm so-"
"NO! NO! NO! F*CK YOU! YOU SAID YOU LOCKED ME UP! BUT YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING!" Vaslet thought for a second. "The tie was execution or imprisonment...You had the last vote but you never took it? So someone else voted and got me in jail? YOU KNOW I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO DIE!"
"I KNOW!" Raiden yelled. All 4 of them had risen from their seats.
Then someone started clapping form the door. "Oh! What a show! Now if you all don't mind I would like that spark!"
"Who are you?" Raiden asked.
Vaslet was poised already. "RAIDEN! HE'S A GOD. The one we hunted for 200 years!"
