The sylveon energetically ushered us outside like the stereo typical sylveon and led us to what looked like a small battlefield
Jack: this all we get to fight in?
Cloud: he'll no we fight where ever we end up this is just where we start. Oh by the way here catch!
He threw a small sword to me
"Catch"
Jack: a sword?
Cloud quickly took out a pair of duel tomahawks
Cloud: yeah you'll need'em to block these...that is if you don't want to bleed when blocking them that is...
I held the blade in my hands and swung it once or twice to get a feel for it
Jack: hmm... Alright let's do this then shall we?
Cloud: of course...Mimi wanna do the honors?
We stood at either end of the field
Mimi: ready...SET...FIGHT!!!
Cloud was at my throat before I could blink...or he would have been if I wasn't already airborne
Cloud: what!?
Jack: your fast..,
I used a special technique as I hit the ground to blast myself forward using my own electrical power as a thruster to drop kick him way out of the field and into a building
Jack: but I'M FASTER!!!
He caught himself as he fell
Cloud: ha! Nice hit! Keep that up and you might actually hurt me!
Jack: heh... So it seems your not just all talk!
In unison we rushed each other then half a second later sparks and the sound of clanking metal filled the air as our blades began to clash. cloud was good, very good. however i knew a jolteon's weak spots. so as he swung his tomahawk once more instead of blocking i took the hit to get close then smashed the handle into one of clouds pressure points causing both of us to roll away

cloud: aagh! the flippin hurt! i...i...i can't move my leg!
I stood
Jack: yeah because I hit one your pressure points!
Cloud: huh? Oh I get it...smart! But it's time to get serious now!
Jack: so you could tell I was holding back huh?
Cloud flicked his wrists to his sides and those metal pieces on his jacket that I noticed detached and hovered around him as a few others held onto his paralized leg
Cloud: yep! And as you can see I have been too!
Reimi: hey be careful jack! Those are clouds dynamos! They can cause some serious damage!
As I turned to acknowledge her I found out what she ment the hard way when I was slashed several times by the blades then shot back by a 4 blasts of consentrated electricity
Jack: shit!!!
I recovered as soon as possible as i could. I knew I had to give cloud more to think about if I wanted past his dynamos so I did just that. I formed 5 shadow balls and shot them all at different angles as I rushed him
Cloud: ha gotta do better than that!
Jack: do I!?
I had used my electro thrust skill and was now only a few yards away from him
Cloud: tck! Not so fast!!!
He suddenly pulled all of his dynamos back so he could form a full frontal shield
Jack: " heh just as I planned... Alright all I have to do is put everything I've got into one last attack!

As I threw my sword at clouds shield it slow the building process so I sent out another pulse of electricity while I slid sending me under cloud just before he finished his shield
Cloud: w...WHAT!?
As I fired off one last electric pulse to launch me over to cloud I consent rated all of my energy into an attack I never thought I could use...FUSION BOLT!
Jack: I know a sword can cut and a fist can bruise, but...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF MARK THIS WILL LEAVE!!!
And with that I threw every bit of my attack at cloud causing a massive explosion that lit up the intire sky for miles around
