Slasher had sliced about half an inch into Arcturus's head. Arcturus was extremely mad, "You pitiful creature! Time to feel my claws...." He spread his wings and soared at Slasher. Slasher pounced at Arcturus, they met in the air. Arcturus screeched and lunged at Slasher and missed. However, Slasher tore through the soft red orb on his right shoulder. Arcturus screeched and agony as green liquid pored from the wound. Slasher looked at it, it was like a balloon that had been popped by a nail. Slasher stepped back when he saw a small, brown, pulsating organ in the remains of his shoulder. Arcturus fell to his knees and began shivering in pain, "My....heart!........well.....there are 7 more...but it's the friggen PRINCIPAL of the matter!" He stumbled to his feet and stared at Slasher. Slasher stared back. Arcturus's eyes shone a deep and violent green color. Slasher saw that and cowered a bit, "Sian?" Arcturus laughed maniacally, "You....are familiar.....Hmmmmmmmm...YES!" Slasher grunted curiously, "Peeer?" Arcturus laughed while clutching his rapidly beating heart, "Yeees......I don't know how...but you do seem familiar." Arcturus used his right hand and grabbed a Pokeball from his belt, "Heh.....I'm sure I'll know your master when they find you....Go, Quickstrike" Arcturus's Arbok leaped from his Pokeball and started to laugh. Arcturus smiled, "Quickstrike, Glare" Quickstrike laughed his eyes glew blue....paralyzing Slasher. Slasher couldn't move when he tried to retaliated, and Quickstrike spewed poison spikes at Slasher. Slasher fell, clinging to what conciousness he had remaining. Quickstrike coiled in front of Slasher.. TBC
