Josh raised the palm of his left hand to deflect the blade. He screamed in agony as the point pierced through his palm and traveled all the way down through Josh's arm before coming out through his bicep.
Josh was rapidly losing blood. He brought up his arm-blade, then clenched his fingers around the hilt that went straight through his palm and pulled, bringing Ace down, his chest landing on the point of Josh's blade.
Ace gasped as blood began running from his mouth. Behind the visor of a runite helmet, his eyes went dead, never to see the world of RuneSpace again.
Josh pulled the blade out of his arm, bringing about another onslaught of pain. He staggered toward the medics that were running a stretcher out toward him.
It was too late. He collapsed onto the ground, his face resting against the rough grass and light brown dirt of the grassland as the last of his lifeblood flowed out through his arm and his consciousness travelled to another place.
Josh opened his eyes. The grass here was greener. He rolled over on the ground. Up above was a black void, twinkling with stars and dominated by a fiery orb and a massive planet. He had seen this before.
Around him his team gathered.
"Oh no! You died too?" they mourned.
"But wait!" Tyler exclaimed. "If he had lost, he would have been banned. Did we win, Josh?"
Josh smiled as they crowded around him for an answer.
"We won!" he suddenly yelled.
The clan was overjoyed.
"Now help me up. There are a bunch of people on this server suddenly without a clan leader. I'm sure we could offer them membership in our clan. I have a feeling this is the start of a golden age for the Warriors of Legend."
"Hell," Tyler replied helping him up. "With a guy like you as the most powerful man on this server, it's going to be a golden age for RuneSpace in general."
