Aidoneus answered with his longsword raised to meet my gunfire. He flashed me a lopsided smirk as he moved the flat side of his blade to ricochet my bullets back at me with speed and ease.

I narrowly missed my own attacks. My heart pumped with anger and adrenaline.

"Missed me Famine. Probably didn't expect to see me again." He cackled and raced for me with his longsword aimed for my heart.

I dropped and rolled, narrowly missing his attack. I rolled again when I felt the wind of his swings going down towards my neck. I scrambled to my feet and c.o.c.ked my guns.

"Sweetie. Like, I know he's bad a.s.s and all, cool your heart. Like, your brain is far more s.e.xy right now." Marilyn's voice coolly spoke her reason in my head.

"Right." I answered aloud, aiming my guns to the freak-face's head and firing rapid rounds, which he coolly evaded with easy.

"Hahaha! Is that all you got, Pretty Boy." Aidoneus laughed. "Come to Papa. Let Daddy spank you."

"Marilyn, you have spell right?" I screwed up my nose at the freak's sick joke, awkwardly evading the man's swift sword slashes.

I fired random rounds at his chest that he swerved around. My aims weren't doing anything. The freak was dodging my attacks without effort.

"Like, way better, I can increase your agility at the temporary cost of, like, your aim."

"Marilyn! I need everything I've got! Give me something else!" I yelped as I dodged a close sword swipe over my chest.

I frowned at the man's laughter, he was barely breaking a sweat.

"Fine." Marilyn pouted.

Bluish white light wrapped my limbs, I felt increased muscle strength and fighting instinct. A dull ache pained my heart from the racing heart beats fuelled by overexerted adrenaline.

"I've, like, increased your fight, but, like, you'll burn out faster."

"Whatever!" I yelled as I rushed for the freak with my guns blazing.

He dodged my attacks with his sword. I ducked and slid towards his legs, kicking at his s.h.i.+ns to knock him down. I quickly thought of my hands cased in silver gauntlets.

My guns switched form to become the gauntlets I had imagined.

"Ugh!" Aidoneus cursed when I punched at his wrists to knock his sword out.

The man met my fist attacks with his own. Pain welled about my wrists and biceps as I countered his punches with high and low swings.

"Famine. You've gained a skill. Lemme guess, Spellbook?" Aidoneus coolly asked.

I responded with a high kick that successfully knocked the man backwards.

"Well, you're not the only one with a book." The freak-face smirked when he quickly recovered.

He stood a few paces back and clapped his hands in a prayer. Alien words rushed out of his mouth. The light surrounding him dimmed into a sinister darkness. I felt a black energy reach for my heart in the form of b.a.l.l.s.

"FAMINE, LIKE, DON'T LET IT TOUCH YOU!"

_"Is this how you greet the darkness, Famine? Didn't I give you the name of your light?"_ Shuso's voice and memory soothed my immediate fears.

I instantly clapped my hands in prayer and formed a five pointed star in my mind with the word, "Albion."

White fire countered the black ball energy attacks that almost struck my face.

My hands moved and danced about to manipulate the shape of a five pointed star in the air.

I calmly focused on Aidoneus's face, noticing a true expression from him for the first time. Annoyance.

The star raced for the man, countering his back ball attacks. It unravelled to form swords that stabbed his shoulders and sides, pinning him to the ground.

Black energy swirled about my fingers as the Power of Null began to form within me.

"Hahaha! There it is! That almighty power of yours." Aidoneus's cackled with blood dripping out from the sides of his mouth. His eyes l.u.s.ted after the power swirling about my hands.

"DO IT! SHOW ME THAT FEARSOME POWER!"

"Your wish I will comply." A deep voice came out of my mouth. At the back of my head, I realised the voice belonged to the Black Rider. "Everything comes to null."

"NO! DON'T YOU DARE!" Death's voice broke through my trance. "You will lose yourself."

"Ugh!" I reigned in my power and replaced it with my guns.

I stepped up before Aidoneus and pressed the barrel to his smug forehead.

The freak laughed and muttered a spell that made him disappear.

_"Famine"_

I turned to face the Baleful Rider who had stopped fighting my brothers. He rode a few paces and stopped before me with a gauntlet finger pointed towards my head.

-"You're next."_ The rider said before disappearing.

Time resumed as well as normality of day.

I joined my brothers who were panting for breath. After a while, I realised Jensen and Wilfred weren't the only knights in the area.
