[attr="class","skullbody"]Isaac must have been tenser than he expected. What he intended as a brief clinch to slow Josh's strikes had turned into a full-on disarm. But it wasn't very surprising. Isaac's own strength was starting to shock him, and Josh's focus was more on his pace than on his grip.[break][break] Still, Isaac's brow furrowed. Did he not realize how easy it would be for his foe to close in and run him through with those Doublade? He'd let his only defense, his literal lifeline, be slapped from his hand with such ease. Part of Isaac wanted to toss him one of his own blades so he could at least put up a token effort. Yet another part of him knew that when Josh's focus was set, nothing could change it.[break][break] His focus was on flight, not fight. So Isaac would give him something to fly from.[break][break] He pulled back against Sunny, guiding the Crobat to flare out his wings and back away from Bladestorm. No longer would Josh be harried by jukes, fakes, slashes, and distractions. He'd have the open air in front of him and the operations center in plain sight. In fact, for a second it might have even felt freeing. Maybe a little too freeing.[break][break] Behind Josh, Isaac crossed his blades above his head. Luck & Pluck's blades were surrounded by an ominous purple haze. Then they absorbed the haze turned a pitch black, highlighted only by a faint outline of Infinity Energy. Once they were as black as the void itself, Isaac touched their tips together, pulling them aside to open a gateway into the void.[break][break] And then the void consumed all.[break][break] [break][break] The timers surrounding Josh were now all reading the same thing, the sound of klaxxons becoming little more than a fading echo as the harsh red numbers stopped blinking. The courses beneath Josh were now broken, scattered messes, caught up in the wake of this great disaster. The land they once stood upon was little more than scorched grass and faded soil. Even the mountain that stretched before the ruins of the operations center had a large chunk blown out of it. All was dark. All was cold. All was still.[break][break] All but the yawning void that was stretching behind Josh, growing larger by the second. Purple hands launched from the vortex one by one, clawing holes the sky as they tried to grab for Bladestorm. By now, Isaac, his Crobat, and his Doublade were barely visible. They were but a speck in the sky, backdropped by the terrible and awesome majesty of the void.[break][break] Despite this, Isaac spoke. "This is what happens if you fail," he said. "Are you going to give it power over you? Or are you going to end this?" He pointed his blade down at Josh like an executioner's sentence. By now, the "ruins" of the operations center would be close, so close. If Josh could stow his fear, pierce the veil, and do what needed to be done, he'd make it with time to spare. If he hesitated, the spectral hands behind him would coil around one another, forming a single, hellish arm. If it reached him . . . no, no need to consider the unthinkable.[break][break] "Prove it! Show me you have what it takes to handle what comes next!" Isaac roared. He could barely stomach the sights he had conjured up, but he refused to tear his eyes away. He had to see what happened next. He had to know how this was going to end.[break][break] He had to find a silver lining in his Never-Ending Nightmare.
