Chapter 21: The First Duel

Grey now in a bush, all he could do was watch from the sideline, how Ace and his men surrounded Jack and John, he could not hear what he said, but he understood that it was going to be a duel since the bandits stopped attacking.

John was up first, holding his big sword in front of him, as ace jumps off his horse smiling toward them both, wielding a giant sword even bigger than Johns sword, as he looks back at Jack, 'I will take him down', before rushing toward Ace, Ace smiles seeing the man rush toward him, as John comes closer and closer he notices how big the guy actually is, as Ace quickly in a swift move swings the sword toward John who catches the sword with his, 'Clank!' 'Clank!', the noises of metal on metal became even quicker and louder by each swing, as John jumps back a bit, but Ace noticing John was trying to make distance he instantly rushes toward him swinging the sword sideways toward him, John barely in time could dodge this giant blade as it passes him just by a hair, John taunting the big man to attack him again, Ace smiles before coming closer slowly again, with his sword in front of him, as John attempts to swing his sword from below up to Aces head, Ace already noticing the move would kick the sword away, as John loses his grip on the sword it would fly away out of reach.

Ace rushes John kicking him down as he points his sword toward his throat, 'you are finished', as he attempts to swing his sword to behead John, there suddenly would be a 'Clank!', it was Jack who rushed forwards blocking the final blow toward John, who quickly stood back up stepping a bit back before Jack made an attempt on Aces arm, barely missing it, as Ace strikes back immediately toward Jacks arm, also missing barely, as the bandits surrounding them would attempt to interfere Ace simply yells 'Stay put, his mine', as the battle continues between Jack and Ace, and John feeling defeated so easily standing on the side watching them fight.
