Incredible. The will in this man, he was able to summon the crystal's power without even making contact, and I doubt this is an ability he's seen before. It's responding to his raw emotion and his drive to make his dreams reality.

Matrue extended the crystal out towards the gorilla, and it slowed but would not stop. Matrue gazed sternly into its eyes. He would not allow his own ability to be turned against him. Somewhere in his mind a voice echoed.

"If you cannot control your own weapon, how can you hope to win?"

The gorrilla roared and raged, but would not deal a blow towards Matrue. It only stood poised for attack, mere inches away. It's continued existence was evidence of their clashing wills. Matrue's eyes flashed a beautiful cyan, and the gorilla vanished. In its place was Isamu, charging once more.

Matrue rose his sword, but far too slow to compete with Isamu's newfound spirit. He unflinchingly registered his pain as the spear dug deep into his left arm, the last shield Matrue had time to raise. He rose his sword, slicing at the same time, gashing Isamu's arm in the same place once more as the crystal flashed. Isamu didn't even hesitate to attack again. He spun about, barely missing a gash across Matrue's chest.

The sword vanished in another flash, and the crystal appeared once again around his right wrist on a bracer. He dipped his hand in his own blood, hopping back to avoid a continuing onslaught of incredible attacks. He slung the blood towards Isamu, and it took the shape of blades as it flew through the air. Isamu rolled to the side just in time to dodge, the dust from the blades gashing the ground kicked up lightly in his hair.

The two stood still again, facing off against each other, trying to anticipate the next move. Isamu noticed something felt off. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed his wrist had bled no more, and the pain was gone as well, though he was sure bleeding to death was in his near future.

Did he...
