Riku looked down at him, blood coming from the scar now on his leg. "I'm not weak, I just don't have much element power to call myself strong. Do you wish to train more in that over swordsmanship?"Riku put out his hand to help Calypso up.

After having a nice stare down with the ceiling, the platinum haired warrior figured that it was time to get back to business as he brought his knees to his chest and performed a kip-up.
"Is this the part where i degrade myself, saying that i'm not that strong? That i am still training to become the best, and all that yada yada? That i will eradicate the darkness that is surronding the world and all that pillow talk? I think i'll pass on that one."
Calypso then stood and motioned Riku to bring it with his blade, hoping that Riku would return the favor.
"Ready when you are."

"Fine"Riku looked up at Calypso and pointed his blade at him. "Let's dance."Riku disappeared and reappeared running on the wall. From the wall Riku threw his blade at Calypso with amazing speed. Riku pushed off the wall and disappeared. The blade was about 2 feet away when Riku reappeared, grabbed the blade and spun to swing for Calypso's next from his right side. The blade was going to come through the back of his neck to the front.

Calypso gave Riku a grin just before he vanished and appeared running along the walls of their environment. The platinum haired warrior kept his eyes on Riku as he stood his ground; even when Riku slinged his blade towards Calypso. Calypso twirled his blade one more time before he planned to slice towards the right in an attempt to knock Riku's blade to the ground. The platinum haired warrior figured that Riku was going to appear behind him and plan to launch more melee attacks. One shot to the face was good enough for Calypso however.
Calypso smacked his blade towards Riku's weapon but just as the blade looked like it was going to go flying, Riku suddenly appeared, quickly gripping the blade and going for Calypso's neck. The blades clashed and the platinum warrior looked unharmed.
Calypso gripped his blade with two hands and sliced towards the left aiming for Riku's collar bone before he sliced downward from Riku's face to his waist; his combo ended as he vanished and appeared behind Riku, launching a roundhouse kicks towards Riku's right kneecap portion. The roundhouse was not infuses with electricity nor did it contain the speed. All the kick would do if connected is leave Riku limping for a few seconds before continuing.

Riku was surprised by Calypso taking it up a notch finally. He tried to counter his attack, but then something happened that Riku didn't expect, an attack from behind. The kick connected causing Riku to stumble a little before he caught his balance. He turned to face him, his legs a little tight but, not too bad. "An attack from behind? Never saw you as someone who would attack like an assassin."Riku mimicked what Calypso had been doing and started walking towards him at a medium pace. His blade was held dow and behind him but not on the floor.

"Strange i didn't know any attack from behind was an assasin move. Stupid assasins; they get one HIT from behind and they get all jittery." Calypso told Riku before he began walking towards Riku at a medium pace once more with his blade fully pointed towards Riku.
Riku decided to then take a page out of the platinum haired warrior's book and mimic Calypso. Usually Calypso was the one doing the copying; never the other way around. This brought a smirk on the platinum haired warrior's face for a second before the two warriros began to get closer to each other.
Once in range, the platinum haired warrior attempted to impale his blade through the gut of Riku; it was not a kill attempt however. After the stab, Calypso moved to the left side of Riku and sliced towards the the left forearm of Riku.

Another simple frontal attack? Riku sliced with his blade at his stab and as he turned to Riku's side to attack to the left, Riku's hand went for his blade. Right before Riku's hand connected with Calypso's blade a short blade came out of his bracer to connect with his blade. Riku's smiled for a second and then it dropped. "If your not going to try then this fight is pointless."
Riku decided to step it up first. He retracted his hidden blade and pivoted to face Calypso. He gripped his blade with both hands and unleashed a flurry on Calypso. The sword was massive and with Riku's added strength it was like fighting a brute. Riku, however, wasn't a brute and his blade had power AND speed. The flurry of strikes, slashs, stabs, and archs that blended into themselves making it a style or dance almost. It had grace and form with a hint of flarlessness and mastery.

After the hidden blade blocked Calypso's blade, Riku seemed impressed with himself as he shot a smile. Calypso on the other hand did not seem that impressed with it. To the platinum haired warrior however it was just another move that Riku should have blocked; fortunately he did.
"Like i said before, i usually don't have to try and i end up with good results...however i'll be more than happy to step it up if you wish." the platinum haired warrior told Riku before signaling him to come over here with his left hand.
The platinum playboy did not have to tell Riku twice for the light warrior gripped his blade and unleashed multiples strikes on Calypso. Riku managed to get a slash in on the abdomen armor and towards the left shoulder armor causing the platinum haired man to stumble back and drop to one knee before the party would begin.
Electricity charged within the body of the lightning user as Riku continued his sword dance. Calypso quickly rose up and did a sequence of pivoting left, right and ducking to avoid the majority of the attacks Riku delivered. Calypso decided to wait until the next stab to make his move and once the stab occured, he twirled his wrist so that the blade's tip was pointing down and knocked towards the right to direct the blade off course a bit.
Calypso then moved his blade back to normal and all that would be seen from the average eye is one slash before Calypso appeared behind the target. The platinum haired warrior unleashed one slash towards Riku before appearing 10 feet behind him. If Riku did possess more than a makeover, then he would have noticed the slice horizontally towards both shoulders and biceps. If all four attacks connected, it would leave wounds across the shoulders/muscles and it would hurt to move the arms and difficult to wield the blade.

Riku saw him try to move his blade off course and would not let him. He forced up in a slash aimed for up his body to his neck. Then Calypso decided it was time to take it up a notch. Calypso attacked and Riku moved. He blocked the strikes just as fast with his shunpo and his image stayed. Once Calypso stopped moving the image vanished and Riku was behind him. "Turn around!"Riku hated attacking someone from behind and so once Calypso made his move Riku attacked. He moved faster then he just had to move to block the attack. Riku moved fast enough that to the average to skilled eyes he was gone. Riku used no tricks this time he wanted to end this boring fight now. He picked up his speed and once in range he brought his blade from behind, striking the floor and creating a large scar and eruption of dust and concrete and sent his blade full force up at Calypso. He planned to enter in through the left hip and out the right shoulder. As the blade got closer it began to burn with light so that it might have a chance getting in the armor.

Calypso turned his neck to see that Riku avoided the multi slash technique using shunpo. Calypso's hypothesis was correct when it came to how Riku was going to escape. Calypso turned around slowly with a blank expression on his face as he was tracking the speed of Riku. The library was becoming more dirty thanks to Riku's blade dragging on the ground; not that the library actually mattered to Calypso.
As Riku got closer to Calypso, he would notice that Calypso would not walk towards him with his blade out like before. Instead he stood his ground, watching Riku's blade become consumed with light. Once Riku initiated his attack, the blade pierced through Calypso's left hip and out of the right shoulder. As for the armor, it seemed that it was cut through like a hot knife connecting with butter. It would seem that Riku had won the match; unfortunately that was not the case.
"bzzzzzzzzzzz"
It turned out that Calypso had left an afterimage for Riku to attack; as a result, the blade left Riku's mid-section defensless since the light warrior went for an upward slash. Calypso than appeared in the same spot as his blade was covered with dark blue electricity as he sliced right towards the waist of Riku, left towards the abdomen of Riku and in one motion, jumped back and sliced towards the neck of Riku before doing a 360 spin in less than 1 second. If just one attack connected, not only will it leave a wound going across the section, but Riku will feel an electric shock throughout his entire body, causing rapid heartbeat, twitching and smoke to emanate from his body.

Riku hit Calypso and felt nothing and looked a saw him at his side, an after image. Riku drew his other blade and used it to try and counter Calypso's strike but was a mila second too slow and got sent flying across the room and then skidding into the wall. There was a scar on his side from where Calypso hit and Riku's body was pulsing with electricity. He layed there for a bit then stood, he slammed his foot on the ground causing the electricity to move to the ground like a grounder and out of his body. He then pointed his blade at Calypso and split into three images. the images charged. One jumped in the air bringing their blade down at Calypso, one kept running and went for a deadly slash to his midsection from right to left while the other appeared behind him with the same slash to his midsection but from left to right.

The way that Calypso was going to take out the images were in the order they attacked. The first one was the downward slice, followed by the midsection cut and ending with another midsection attack only from behind.
Calypso took a step to the right before pivting on his left foor 90 degrees; when the first Riku his the ground, Calypso was facing his naked left side. The platinum haired warrior unleashed a quick impale towards the left kidney area of Riku. If this attack connected, more than likely Riku would not be in tip top condition to go on much further. Of course if it was a fake Riku, then it would be no good; at least the image would die out though.
The second Riku was lucky in its attempt to slice Calypso near his midsection armor left to right. This caused the platinum playboy to stumble back a couple of steps. Calypso then initiated the multi-attack his did on the original Riku. The platinum haired warrior launched one slice towards the second copy before appearing behind the second copy with his blade near his right leg. Again, for the average eye, it was only seen as one slice but in reality it was a slice towards both quadriceps and towards the throat. If this was the real Riku and the attacks connected, more than likely he would be out for the count. On the contrary, if it was a dud, at least the image would be gone.
Lastly was the attack from the back. Calypso had quickly sensed, gripped his blade with both hands and swung right to left in an attempt to engage in a quick struggle. Once then Calypso would surge electricity through their blade again, which would travel through the blade of Riku before connecting with the light warrior's flesh. If successful and if this was the real Riku, Riku would feel the same effects and be stunned for a second before the struggle ended and Calypso dropped to one knee and with both hands on the blade, sliced towards the left quadricep muscle. If connected, not only will Riku would feel more electricity surging throughout his body, but it will leave the quadricep numb for a few moments.
