He threw a punch into Switch's stomach.
-
Switch wasn't expecting the punch at all. With much of his armour still torn, broken, or missing from his fight with Aries, his stomach took the full brunt of the punch, sending him flying back to the floor. "Agh! What was that for?!"
-
"Being a dirty Dark Guardian!" He kicked him.
-
He took the kick, but this time he was more prepared for the impact, composing himself quickly after. "Heh. Look who's talking"
-
"At least I can control it. And I'm not tainted with Aries' Darkness." Erik hated doing this, but it was for his own good.
-
"Then teach me how to control it too!"
-
"You have to learn yourself!" He picked him up by the collar of his armor.
-
"Fine!" At that instant, a dark explosion burst from thin air between Switch and Erik. It sent both of them flying back away from each other.
-
He skidded across the ground and lay still.
-
Switch collided against a stone wall, causing it to crack slightly on impact. Falling to the floor, he felt dizzy and dazed.
-
Erik still didn't move.
-
After a few moments had passed, Switch managed to regain his footing and stand up. His back was in a lot of pain: he suspected something had scratched or dented on it. "Ouch... Dammit"
-
((Continuu))
-
He looked around after eventually regaining his full vision, to see Erik lying over on the floor. "What... Erik?"
-
Erik was lying on his back. A jagged piece of metal was torn through his shoulder, to his chest. He made a barely audible noise.

-
He tried to push himself forward, but cried out weakly in pain. "S-Switch..."
-
Edited by Moot: 12/28/2015 7:31:21 PM"Erik! Shit, I'm soo sorry, I didn't mean to do that! I got mad and defensive and-- just, try not to move!" Switch reached over and took a firm and still grip on the metal sticking out of Erik. "Now... I need to remove the metal, wherever it came from. If i don't, you won't even stand a chance at healing. This is gonna hurt..." Without warning, in an attempt to make the experience quick, Switch pulled away at the piece of metal as hard as he could. It's jagged surface caught against Erik's taken flesh as it slowly but surely began to move out of the deep wound. He could only imagine what the immense pain must've felt like.
-
Erik gasped and screamed.
-
After what felt like half a minute, the piece of metal finally broke free and came out of Erik's shoulder, clanging onto the floor and spilling blood all over the surrounding Vex stonework. Switch's hands were also covered in it.
-
His head lolled to the side.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/28/2015 8:58:10 PM"Erik, wake up! Can you hear me?" Switch was clasping the side of Erik's head, trying to get a response of some sort.
-
Nothing happened.
-
"OK, OK... Control... Restraint..." Switch raises a hand over the wound penetrating Erik's shoulder and chest and kept it still. Closing his eyes and concentrating, small dark tendrils began to emerge from the wound, like thin black threads. They began to weave over each other and connect, beginning to stitch the wound up and seal it together. Some of the blood on the floor even began to move and flow towards Erik's body, as if time was reversing.
-
He took a shuddering breath and jumped up, tripped on the piece of metal, and fell onto Switch.
