TO CUT A TURNING TAIL

61). THE FINAL BATTLE: I

Samantha and Acker are rugging all their energy into fighting Tridaily and simultaneously dodging the arrows. The mental stress they would be suffering is unimaginable. "Come on Burma! Shoot faster, we never had to suffer this much" Zenith says in a sly whine. "Maybe it is because your holograms have no effects over them" Burma comments.

On the other hand, Acker is using blades and Samantha is using swords and shielding herself with the shield at the back and constantly bringing out her spear from the back. She somewhat looks like a foreign adaptation of ancient soldiers. Tridaily's weapon Harbour doesn't have much affinity for close battles. But she is still sharp as hell.

"It is just the abundant energy you have as kyle's that makes you so powerful" mocks Tridaily as she continues to engage in a battle with Samantha, Tridaily constantly opens up the loop and Samantha ends up clasping her plunging spear into it.

Samantha instantly tries to take the weapon out but fails. But using this pulling activity as a distraction, she aims a dagger at Tridaily's stomach. Tridaily simply brings her hand forward, the pad/bandage on her arm stops the dagger.

She does it again, Tridaily looks back at Samantha, her face changes, it is covered by a hologram, a hologram of a face of a man with blue piercing eyes and quiff, a khaki shirt below it probably; the collar says so. Oh! They saw him in the bar hologram as well.

Suddenly, a daunting tune starts playing in the background. "And it's just the amount of chemicals you have absorbed that makes you such a formidable puppet," Acker slanders. Samantha has her spear stuck in the loop of the harbour, she makes a frowning expression for no reason and abruptly changes it to a smile.

This boosts her in a way that she punts at Tridaily's shoulder and then lunging forward, amidst dodges her attacks, she crouches down to kick her in the leg, and with that distraction, she places her hands on the harbour and tries to lever it upwards in such a way that the pointy edge of the spear pivots into Tridaily's eye. But Samantha fails every time, just by an edge. But she has already given Tridaily a scratch or two near the eye. Isn't that success? Hope it is...

The hologram of a forest appears around them. Rather than playing the move, Samantha continues fighting with her swords, nearly getting hit by the rod of her spear which is stuck in Tridaily's harbour.

Acker stops shooting and rather than using the usual play of attacking in the nape or throat with a shoot or the arrow in hand, he straightforward jogs forward to kick Tridaily in the arm. Without turning to look at Acker, Tridaily brings out the spear from the harbour; pivots her manually rotating weapon at him and the spear for protection from Samantha. However, Acker flips over with a kick start from the harbour and says, "thanks".

Samantha and Tridaily seem to be having a one-on-one brawl. Samantha nearly chopped of Tridaily's leg with her blade, she throws it in the air and brings out a knife, she is about to whack Tridaily in the face with it, Tridaily brings out her hand, it passing by Samantha's lunging hand; a pointy crescent is situated on her black ring, it turns into a loop as it runs along with the knife, it closes over it.

Tridaily's hand is still lunging forward with the intention of whacking Samantha's face with the knife's hilt. Samantha's blade on the other hand is falling back to the ground. Tridaily immediately realizes it and boots Samantha in the stomach.

She catches the blade from the tip of her shoe and single-shots it at Samantha in a split second, Samantha jumps over it and runs to Tridaily. She rolls in the air, rolling next to Tridaily and before she can react, Samantha kicks her in the face. She moves forward for another kick, but as her leg nears the thrust, Tridaily nudges a dagger into the leg.

A hologram of two lads in casual clothing, chilling in their kitchen, probably eating Nutella; appears at one end of the wall. The hologram of a lot of people passing by a street with black flags, seemingly a revolt; appears on the opposite side. And written on the top is Larcs and Buzz and their participation in the revolt.
