Jack cautiously pulled his sword into the air, blocking a sudden attack from Scott, shoving him backwards a few blocks, and Scott chuckled again. "You're gonna have to try harder than that, Jacky boy." He taunted, wielding the sword a bit to block any attacks.
I was too stunned to move, finally snapping out of it and drawing out the bow, aiming a shaky arrow towards his head, firing.
The arrow lodged in a small pillar next to him, and he paused, looking at it before at me. "Oh? Frightened, are we now?" The designer asked innocently, before leaping at me with his sword, shoving me backwards into a pillar, letting out a muffled choke as I slid down it onto the ground, my vision blurring.
I was faintly aware of him approaching, but let out a grunt of annoyance as scuffling sounded ahead, and I squinted enough to see Jack on the edge, head over the side of the tower, pinning down by Scott, whose sword was raised into the air. I could faintly hear him making taunting threats.
I blinked my eyes more, pain clouding my vision. I weakly moved my paw, meeting with my sword. I determinedly matched an arrow up, shakily aiming towards Scott's back. I couldn't let him kill Jack.
I launched the arrow. This was my only chance to save Jack. If I missed, he was dead, and I was as good as dead. Both of our fates depended on this shot.
I heard a muffled choke sound, and I knew my arrow had made its target, but I heard Jack gasp and heard nothing more. "J-Jack?" I stuttered, frightened he'd been killed.
"I'm- I'm okay... But Scott..." He trailed off, his voice edged with slight fright as his dark shadow made its way to me, pulling out something red. "Here, use the health stimpact. You took a nasty hit." He said shakily, and I gratefully took it, rubbing my head as my vision cleared.
Scott had vanished, and I turned my head, searching for the enemy. Jack put a paw on my shoulder, pointing to the edge.
I scooted my way over, managing to stand up and look over the edge. Scott's body, as well as most of his loot, had been brutally hit against the ground. I let out a small, startled yelp, stumbling back. I'd just killed Scott... But I did what I had to do. He was going to kill Jack.
"Wait, where's Dragazo?" Jack echoed.
He straightened up, about to head up and find out why he was taking so long, when he heard a noise behind him.
Startled, he turned, raising a sword, seeing a body. He edged closer, looking at it. "Oh holy moth balls!" He exclaimed, seeing that it was Scott. He took a frightened look up at the top of the tower before scattering off the side of the cliff, making his way down to the bottom. He wouldn't be returning any time soon.
And you knew he had to have been startled if he had really just yelled out loud: "Holy moth balls".

The figure of Scott appeared from the stairs, raising an eyebrow at us. "Oh? You want to fight, eh? Then I'll give you one," he smirked, drawing out the iron sword, sunlight gleaming off it.
Jack cautiously pulled his sword into the air, blocking a sudden attack from Scott, shoving him backwards a few blocks, and Scott chuckled again. "You're gonna have to try harder than that, Jacky boy." He taunted, wielding the sword a bit to block any attacks.

Dragazo leaned against the entrance of the tower, bored. "What's taking him so long?" He muttered, annoyance tracing his words.
He straightened up, about to head up and find out why he was taking so long, when he heard a noise behind him.
