17 years ago...
"What's this? A mouth-watering soul has intruded upon my domain? How I can't wait to feast upon it".
Ivy, her face contorted with hatred and anger, stood defiantly before Nightmare, her blade writhing with the power of her anger. "At last...I have come to meet the wielder of Soul Edge, Nightmare. Of course it would be you..." she began. "Do you know why I have come?"
"For honor? Valor? Fame? Fortune? I care not, for I have quelled the weak souls who have dared faced me...Taki, Setsuka, Hilde, Maxi, Kilik...all of these were weak and easy to put an end to! But now...you have come...Soul Edge seems to deem you powerful as it quivers in my grip..." he boomed, his deep voice ringing around the sky.
"I have come...to destroy what has caused much sadness, anger, remorse, death...to destroy SOUL EDGE!" she shouted. "As you may know...I had to put an end to my own father because he was consumed by the power that Soul Edge gave him when he found several of the shards...this is why I must end it all!" her blade uncoiling now, ready for combat.
"Yes! I can feel the power running through you! Your soul will provide me with a nice feast and will last me a long time after I have devoured it! RRRRARRGGHH!".
*The Battle Starts* (I am not really good at doing battle scenes in writing, so I will let someone else who is willing to do it for me do it. But it has to be good! :) ).
*After Battle*
"UGGHHGHHH!" Nightmare's scream pierced the clouds and shook the heavens. He staggered back, his breath rattling. Suddenly, a bright blue light filled the dark sky and Soul Calibur appeared, apparently from nowhere.
"Soul...Ca-Calibur?" Ivy stuttered.
The blue crystal sword hovered over Nightmare's quivering frame, and then dropped. It sliced straight through his soul, and Soul Edge with it, destroying with a thunderous boom. A iced/crystal floor began flooding the tower's floor, spreading its way slowly towards Ivy. She stood there motionless. Then it began encasing her body, slowly making its way up her body.
"So this is how I'm going to die...I'm just like him...I guess, it's a fitting ending...".
Her sword suddenly sprung to life and wrapped round her body, sending pulses of heat around her body. The ice broke off almost immediately and she was free...unfortunately her sword broke as well.
"Wh-what?" she gasped.
She picked up a broken shard of her sword.
"Is there...maybe something else I can do...?"
Until 17 years in the future, we will not find out what she did from there...
So, Soul Edge and Nightmare were destroyed for good...or were they?
