Scott Pilgrim Vs. Himself..? [VIDEO]

[heardramonasing]

[Scott had been running away from the apartment building for what seemed like hours. In one hand he now clasped his opened communicator, looking to it every once in a while as he tried to keep up a hastened pace.]

"MORRIGAN! VASH! TAVROS! ANGRY SCOTTISH DUDE! CELTY! GRELL! GORO! CRAZY PONY THAT CAN TALK! JOHN AND HIS SIS! I KNOW I'VE.. ONLY KNOWN

[Drawing back its fist slowly, it looks down at its reward. Though the kick still made it tinge with pain, the shadow was very pleasure with the results. Bending down, it reached out both arms to begin to scoop the young prey into its grasp..

That is, until something clutched the back of its head.

As if ripping off a band-aid, the shadow was peeling away from Goro and sent flying into a nearby structure. Slamming against a large statue of an archangel, the shadow let out a gasp of air as it connected.

Not wasting another moment, Scott Pilgrim raised to the balls of his feet and flew towards his shadow. Fists out, Scott met everything which he hated with a flurry of punches that seemed never ending. A deathly combo, unlike any he had ever performed before, slammed into the stomach of his opponent.

Scott's eyes began to tear, his fists beginning to bleed as they sunk into the shadow's form. Scott felt as if his arms were going to break, but it didn't matter. The sounds of snapping and tearing rang in his ears, but fell deaf as his voice cried out in anger. He watched as Nega Scott's body began to fold in half, its eyes bulging from their dark sockets, its mouth hanging open as if it were going to wretch.

And so Scott continued on with his assault, his voice carrying high over the cathedral, crying out in a whirlwind of release and contempt.]

[After a few moments, Goro started to come to. Wincing in pain, he opened his eyes and rubbed at where the punch had landed. Sitting up he shook his head slowly.] "...That really hurt! Where's..?"

[Remembering that he had been in the middle of a fight, Goro looked around for Nega Scott, eyes finally focusing as heard and saw Scott. Standing up, he hung back and watched, ready to jump in if needed.]

[heardramonasing]

[His punches cease immediately, a lone hand stationed at the throat of the shadow. For the first time in his life, Scott saw fear in another's eyes. Cocking his free hand back, the fist began to glow with an unnatural blue light.]

"My name is Scott Pilgrim.. You hurt Goro.. Prepare to die!'

[Channeling every inch of "Princess Bride" love in his body, and the spirit of Ingio Montoya, Scott sent the glowing fist straight into the chin of the shadow. There's a terrific earthquake before the shadow is launched high into the air from the uppercut, disappearing far into the atmosphere and the night sky.

Scott, still holding the punch above his head to full extension, drops to his knees and collapses in exhaustion.]

[frillsalwayswin]

[Goro blinks.] "Hey that's from that-"

[Before that sentence can fully get out of his head, Goro watches as the shadow goes flying.] "Woah.. H- Hey!" [Running over to him, Goro tries to catch him and fails. Crouching, he puts one of his arms around Scott's shoulders and begins to ease him up. When he speaks again, it's in his mistaken-for-a-girl voice. With everything that's happened, that revelation could come later.] "Come on, you can't sleep here. The ground's not good for you! That was so cool!"

[heardramonasing]

[Scott's body shivers for a few moments before settling. Letting out a long breath of air, he opens his eyes to look up at Goro.]

"Cool..?"

[His eyes close once again, as a great, wide grin graces his lips.]

"Yeah.. Cool.. Lookin' cool in front of a cute girl."

[And Scott is now out cold.]

[frillsalwayswin]

[Goro straightens up, making sure he's got a good grip on Scott's shoulders. Making his way slowly from the cathedral area, Goro smiles.] "Come on, we don't need to stay here."

[Glancing over his shoulder quickly, in case anything was going to come at them, Goro exhales and keeps walking.] "I'll explain everything later." [Goro thinks, keeping an eye on Scott as he moves.]

[heardramonasing]

[There are no further disturbances. The shadow which had assaulted them has now since vanished from the area, with no sign of returning.

Scott is still unconscious, not in a dangerous sort of course, just passed out from exhaustion.]

[frillsalwayswin]

[And roughly half an hour later, Goro reaches his apartment. Unlocking the door, he heads inside. Saying a quick hello to Toge, Goro walks Scott to the couch and lies him onto it before he double checks that the window curtians are pulled. The mirrors in the room have been removed and put away in a spare closet.]

"Okay.. And we're safe."

[Going into the kitchen and turning on the overhead light, Goro puts on some water for tea and waits for it to boil. Pouring some food into Toge's bowl and getting him fresh water, Goro then goes into his room, pulling the comforter from his bed.]

"This should work. It's pretty warm."

[Returning to the living room, Goro drapes it over Scott and sits in a nearby chair, watching him.]

[heardramonasing]

[Scott's eyes slowly open after about twenty minutes or so, stirring slightly as he parted his lips with a soft moan. Rolling onto his side, Scott began to curl up in the blanket, having the sudden nostalgia of being in a "Back to the Future" movie. Before calling out "Mom?", Scott realized right away what had happened just moments before he passed out.

Nega Scott was gone.
His fists still ached.
Goro.]

"GORO!"

[Scott sat up as straight as an arrow, his eyes looking about the room with confusion. The covers flying off of him, Scott could see that his hands were still wounded. Noting the chair across from him, he sees Goro and lets out a long sigh of relief.]

"S-Sorry.. How.. How did we get here?"

[frillsalwayswin]

[Goro jumps, falling out of the chair with a girlish yelp. Landing roughly, he stands and shakes his head, switching back to his mistaken-for-a-girl voice.] "I walked. This is my apartment. How are you feeling?"

[Toge barks at the noise and trots towards Scott, looking at him curiously]

"This is my dog, Toge. Toge, be good. Scott was just in a big fight."

[The dog seems to understand, curling up on the floor near the couch.]

[heardramonasing]

"Wh.. How did.. You get me back here?"

[Scott looks down at the dog, beaming softly as he winces slightly in pain.]

"Nice.. dog. Oh man.. I feel like I got hit by a sack of bricks.."

[Laying back down on the couch, Scott holds a hand to his chest, coughing slightly.]

"I'm glad you're okay though.. Couldn't stand a girl.. being attacked like that."

[frillsalwayswin]

"I carried you like this!" [Goro stretches out his arm as if putting it around an invisible shoulder. Pulling it back into place, he watches Scott.]

"Mhm. He didn't hurt me that much. The punch hurt, though." [But even that wasn't hurting as much as it had.] "I'm making some tea, and if you're hungry I can make something to eat."

[heardramonasing]

[Scott pulls the blanket up under his nose, watching Goro with tired eyes.]

"You don't have to go through the trouble.. I'm just glad you're okay."

[Scott was content with himself. He'd saved a girl. A girl... Hmm. Yes, a girl.]

[frillsalwayswin]

"It's fine."

[Goro waves his hand dismissively. Hearing the tea kettle start to whistle, Goro heads into the kitchen and prepares two cups of earl grey. Carrying them both back into the living room, he sets one onto the coffee table and holds onto the other.]

"You don't have to drink it right now."

[heardramonasing]

[Scott nods his head, keeping his eyes on Goro.]

"Thanks.. I really man it. Sorry to.. Make you have to carry me."

[frillsalwayswin]

"You're welcome. And don't apologize! You weren't super heavy or anything." [Having some of the tea, Goro blushes faintly as Scott keeps looking at him.]
