Sparkles were coming out of his body as Drew quickly rushed towards Eiser and punched a powerful punch in his gut, Eiser blocked by creating a sheild but was still dragged back. Drew's compose had gotten out of reponse now. Rage had started to build inside of him. A fierce looking Drew, carrying a frowning face dragged his feet towards Eiser, who was huffing, crouched onto the floor.
The atmosphere around them started to change. Suddenly Eiser felt like he was surrounded by darkness, his skin felt like it was tearing itself aprat. His feet started to burn and around him was an inferno that poured down all its lava. That heat scorched Eiser's born away. It was a strange sense, the one he hadn't felt since he Roger's departure. It was the strange sense of Fear. Yet in all that chaos, Eiser's fear filled eyes met those of Drew's. He thought that all that rage had come from Drew yet it astonished him that it had not come from him at all. For Drew's eyes were equally trembling and looking for an escape.
Finding for a source to all that scorching, Drew looked behind and saw a man completely burning by his own flames. Then they both realised that all that heat had come from that man. Who was completely burned by the hellish flames ignited by himself. It was the hell created by Arkas.
Eiser was shocked to see Arkas in that state amd tried to call at him yet the wound he had just gotten on his abdomen didnt let him. So Drew deflected his attention from Eiser and focused on Arkas. He didn't question anything and straight up jumped and attacked Arkas with a lightning punch. He hit Arkas on his forehead and grinned. Yet then in an instant his ecstatic expression turned into fright as he saw steam hissing out of Arkas's mouth as Arkas stood there unfazed by that punch.
Drew's goosebumps tingled and he thought of stepping back but he couldn't. Arkas had already caught his hand. It was surprising because not even Eiser was able to reach Drew's level of speed. His fearful eyes met the scorching eyes of Arkas. His hatred was vivid from his red eyelids. Then Arkas created a fist from his other hand and punched Drew in his gut, even though Drew blocked he still flew backwards and fell.
"I WILL FINISH HIM!!"
"I WILL FINISH HIM!!"
"I WILL FINISH HIM!!"
"I WILL FINSIH HIM!!"
"I WILL FINISH HIM!!"
Arkas thought for his rage had disoriented his mind.
Meanwhile Eiser also got up yet didn't intervene.
"Arkas has lost it! I could you use this anger of his' but no. He doesn't even know that his father wasn't killed by the Chained Dogs but a Cardinal. I have to stop his rampage somehow!"
Eiser thought to himself.
In an instant, Arkas blitzed to the lying Drew and slammed his fists down at him. The ground broke yet luckily Drew dodged and got up.
Then Drew straightened his hands firm, as electric sparks covered them, and he shoved them into Arkas. He blocked, got a hold of his hand blade and shot a precise magma beam in his gut. That beam pierecd through his defenses and tore a tiney hole in his gut as he coughed blood. Yet Arkas wasn't done yet, he twisted his arm that he had caught and magma slowly started to cover that arm.
Drew screamed in intense pain. He shoved his other hand blade into his gut, which losened Arkas's grip over and he quickly got back. Yet his forearm was completely drenched in magma so Drew cut it.
Drew stopped the bleeding by Electrocautery and took a gulp. He had understood that he was at a disadvantage. Yet he grinned. He charged back at Arkas and as soon as he got close Arkas snapped his fingers.
Suddenly his surroundings ignited as if giant explosions were placed there. Drew was shocked to suddenly see that, he took damage yet he somehow evaded.
At this stage, Drew's limb was torn off and he was covered in cuts and bruises from that expolsion his head was bleeding, his feet were shivering with fear yet still he held his ground. From the midst of the smoke, Arkas shot a gaint magma flare at him. Drew noticed at the final moments and bent backwards to not get his by it. Yet as he looked up, Arkas was there and a gaint fire spiral was heading his way. He rolled and dodged but stopped at Arkas's feet, who pacied a poweful magma engulfed punched at his face and sent him flying again.
Drew fell down on the ground as steam was rising from his swollen face. He was breathing heavily, down on the ground.
Eiser just watched slowly fade into the crimes he had commited. He knew that if he fought any longer he would surely die for that was the difference in power of the two fighting.
Arkas glared at Drew, as he still tried to get back up dropping streams of blood from his mouth. He then shifted his gaze towards Eiser who was already watching him. Seeing Eiser's tense face it had the look of someone who was waiting. Looking at his hands, he realised that he had seeped to far into it. That the call was now meaningless, he thought. So convincing himself that, he looked into the blurry eyes of Drew, who had one arm around the wound on his gut as he was breating heavily, desperately hiding his vulnerabilities.
Drew then, took a deep breath, calmed himself.
"So you're the son of Icaris. Huh? I wondered who it was. Heh. I am having a fun battle tho it is clear that i would die here." Drew then shifted his gaze towards Eiser, who was standing silently; he continued, "But guess what? You're the one who's gonna lose!" He said as the bursting Electricty around him sparkled his grin.
Drew created a lightning sword and marched towards Arkas. His sharp gaze was fixated on Drew as he approached and before Drew could attack, Arkas caught him again, by his neck this time. Drew grunted as Arkas created a punch. Yet he didn't try to retaliate for as Arkas threw that life ending punch, Eiser intervened. He blocked that powerful punch, by his hand blade he hit Arkas on his shoulder and immediately got back with Drew.
Eiser threw him away as Drew grinned.
"I knew it! Thank You for joining me.... Eiser!" Drew said and Arkas's eyes widened for he thought that Eiser had betrayed him.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Arkas's raging tone inquired.
"Calm Down, Arkas! You need to calm yourself down. You are not in your right mind!"
Eiser said.
"Shut up with your Bullshit! ARE YOU HIS SIDE OR MINE??"
Arkas's tone ravaged.
"Ohh.... Didn't you see him save me just now? And he wasn't even helping you fight! I am pretty sure Eiser has made his decision!"
Drew started a spark.
So Arkas turned his attention towards Eiser! "So then, that's how it is huh? Well, Its been nice knowing you!"
He said as he blitzed infront of Eiser in an instant and launched a powerful magma punch in his gut, Eiser blocked yet still went back some distance, in the meantime Arkas blitzed infront of Drew and tried to punch him with the arm that Eiser had hit on yet surprisngly he couldn't. So he instantly got back and shot multiple concentrated magma beams at him. This was Drew's chance so he closed in, evading those beams yet as he did he was blown away by mini tornado. He landed on his two feet and grinned.
"Well well well.... Looks like nap time's over for somebody huh?"
He said as Riley came out of the darkness to the fighting ground.
Eiser also got up.
"How do i stop his rampage"
He thought as he fixated his eyes on Arkas.
Meanwhile, Arkas fixed his shoulder, that was put out of the picture by Eiser, back in place and frowned intensely. Growling noises came as the steam hissed out of his mouth.
"All of you, come at me at once!"
He said as geared up and covered his arms with magma.
As soon as be heard this, Drew grinned and marched straight at Arkas, yet Riley came in between and with his wind blades engaged him in combat.
"I can't completely call Riley an ally for he is only here to settle things with Drew. He won't be able stand a chance against Arkas. Drew's plan is probably to corrupt Arkas into losing his sanity. I cant let him do that. Before that happens I have to somehow get Arkas back to normal. His body has heatened up alot already, at this rate Arkas's insides might not make it. Engaging Arkas and talking to him is my only bet."
Eiser analyzed all that, standing in the back yet then he was ambushed from above by Arkas. He threw a powerful magma spiral at Eiser from above, he dodged yet didn't attack.
Arkas stood infront of him ready to attack, as Eiser took a deep breath and suddenly the sparkles around him dissappeared. It startled Arkas abit, so he asked. "What are you doing?"
"I am not your opponent, Arkas! Drew is just trying to get on your head. He is trying to make you more angry! You have to snap out of it!"
Drew looked back at them as he heard Eiser's speech and tried to get back towards them but Riley didn't let him.
"Its too late for that now! Brace yourself, Eiser. Do you want to die reluctant to fight or die with honor, while fighting. Choose. For I've come too far ahead. I cannot return."
Arkas said as he prepared a concentrated magma beam.
"Your father was a great man, Arkas!" Eiser spoke and Arkas flinched. Yet Eiser continued, "No matter how far away you have gone. You can still come back. Arkas! If you keep doing what you are now, you will lose yourself. You have to forgive yourself Arkas. It is not your fault that your father died. Have faith in youself, in me! We will avemge all who laid their lives". Eiser speech constantly made it harder for Arkas to hild onto his attack. Tears started to bowl out of his eyes.
"They-they killed my father! I swore to protect him".
His voice broke as he said that.
Meanwhile, Riley was facing difficulty in holding Drew off alone. He created multiple tornadoes at Drew's march yet Drew evaded all that, got close to him and shoved multiple hand blades at different part of his body. His bones fractured and his nerve connetion was severed. Riley flinched and Drew grinned. He punched him in his face and threw him unconscious again. Yet wasting no time he looked back at Eiser and Arkas.
He frowned, as he watched Arkas scream in agony and beg for forgiveness.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH.... Father!! Father!! I am Sorry!" Arkas shouted for he saw the image of his father inside of Eiser.
As Eiser got closer to him his delusion made him feel Icaris's presence inside of Arkas. For the spirit to protect his loved ones, and the Will of Fire, The sense of responsibility that were exaggerated in his father; Arkas realised that all of that was present inside of the man desperately calling him back, Eiser.
"Father? No Its Eiser! Than why do i sense the same presence as of my Father! No! Their must be something wrong with me! My Father is dead, and yet i can still feel him. From that man!"
Then suddenly all of these conflicting thoughts inside Arkas's head were brought to a rest as soon as Eiser crouched down infront of him and embraced him. His confused emotions got some closure. As the hand of Eiser as it brushed the back of Arkas's head brought him the same closure as when the time he first met his father.
His lips quivered, snot came out, he hugged him back tightly and tears started to come out of his closed eyes as he constantly cried; "Forgive me father, I am a Bad Son".
Then suddenly from behind, an Electric beam pierced through Eiser's shoulder and blood came out of his mouth. Arkas flinched as he coughed and sat him aside. He tried to get up yet now that all of his rage was gone, his body couldn't move.
"I can't move!" He thought to himself. Yet Drew had already realised that.
"Pfft.... Hahahah.... What now huh? Your only chance of defeating me was when you were inside that little rage of yours. You dont stand a chance now!"
Drew mocked him, yet Arkas still crushed his limits and stood up. His bones fractured as he did, blood came out of his mouth and through the little scrapes he had gotten all over his body. Drew grinned as he saw that yet then Eiser stood up. Sparkles bursting around him and there was electricity inside of his sharp eyes.
"Rest now, Arkas! You've done enough. Leave the rest to me!"
He said as he gave a chop at Arkas's neck, severing his nerve connection for abit and causing him to faint.
Drew and Eiser stared eachother down, waiting for eachother to attack, as lightning sparks bursted around their surroundings.

Tips:
Electricty can cause numbness. Which is what Eiser used on Arkas before and now to cause him unconscious.
