Prologue
She stayed still. Her breathing was small; sometime through the stillness little puffs of carbon dioxide would escape. She sat and waited, triggering her natural-born instinct to make sure she was not heard, she crouched a little higher ready for the run. Seconds ticked by, she needed to make sure this was perfect. Only one shot and that would be it, no second chances.
Her legs started to ache in her position, but she ignored the pain, plotting the exact time for the impact. The coldness surrounded her, every now and then freezing her blood as she tried to suppress the shudder; trying to not give away her position.
Her hands blew with her bright pink manna, repeating her plan over in her head, she ran from her hiding place. As soon as her still stance moved, a blast of white-pink manna was shot at her. Luckily, she saved herself by putting up her own manna shield. Running fast and quick she made her way towards the attacker. White-pink manna was being shot at her, dodging them easily and equally as fast; her shield started to break.
Drawing her bright pink manna, she threw discs quick and lethally fast. Spinning fast and out of control, the enemy escaped them and quickly threw back bolts of manna. The younger Anodite quickly threw up her circled shield, seeing the attacking energy was getting stronger, she threw her arms further apart and spreading her shield surrounding more around her. Her head started to hurt from the manna energy being too strong. She didn't think that she could hold on for any longer.
Her shield quickly broke apart and both enemies grew weak from their aggressive manna attacks.
Panting hard, the enemy shot more beams of manna, trying to ignore her weakness and take advantage of her rival's. Blocking both beams, the rival threw more discs again, faster and dangerous. Now both enemies were strong and determined to throw each other out of the fight. Forgetting how tired they were.
From outside the hall of where their battle was taking place, it looked like a laser light show. The beams of bright and white-pink manna lit the darkened walls in the cool, summer night.
The enemy started to recite in a different tongue, her white-pink manna on her hands; her eyes glowing the same shade. When she was finished, fire rose from behind her in the form of a large dragon. Eyes popping wide, the rival stood planted on the ground frozen with fear.
Smirking at how easily she had scared her rival, the attacker aimed the fire-dragon at her rival. Realizing what her enemy was doing, the young Anodite snapped out of her frozen trance. Quickly going over all the spells that she had memorized especially for this battle; she started to chant the counter-curse under her breath. The enemy's dragon was travelling fast towards her, determined to fry her to crisp. Before the fire had landed onto the young teen, she had finished her spell and brought out a river in shape of a Phoenix bird.
The powerful bird swooped towards its enemy, causing water and fire to meet each other. The battle raged on, the water started to boil against the hot fire. Little drops of hot water flew in every direction, threatening to burn the two energy beings. Now both enemies were throwing all of their manna inside their enchantments, desperate to win the fight.
The rival's need to retrieve the object from her enemy was desperate, but she needed a distraction to make her quick escape. The enemy's need to destroy her rival was great; she was defied of this enemy ever since she was a child. To think! The enemy was defeated by a mere child! She would end this now, and get her pride and respect back to her rightful reputation. By this thought, the enemy threw more manna and energy into her fire, the rival quickly matched to her own but not enough to over-power her enemy.
In the end the enemy over-powered her, falling back, the rival quickly got up and ran for cover behind one of the walls that stood alone in the large cold room. She drew her breath; her heart was pounding and beating hard against her chest, she drank in large gulps of air, trying to calm down the irregular beating of her heart. She was officially screwed, her manna was drawing low and there wasn't much left to go on for the rest of the night; there wasn't even anything she could draw manna from.
Then the moon illuminated in the room from the skylight on the ceiling. Squatting over the floor she quickly mapped a way in her head; avoid anywhere the moon-light would touch her; for she had a little encounter with moon light before with her enemy and she wasn't counting on that happening again soon.
Being more prepared this time, she threw balls of bright pink manna at the direction of her enemy before running across the room. She heard a grunt, and congratulated herself before quickly before running towards the podium in the middle of the large room.
The moon light paled against her peachy skin, reaching out carefully with her hands, she stretched her fingers out to grab the object and escape before her enemy would recompose herself. But before her fingers touched the object, bolts of manna were thrown at her feet. Jumping out of the way before they hit her, she looked up to the sky and saw her enemy floating high in the air, attacking her viciously.
"Stay away from that! It's mine!" her seductive voice cried out, her hands glowing with her white-pink energy.
"Says who?" was her rival's quick-witted comment.
The enemy smiled evilly as her white-pink energy orbs grew bigger, suddenly there were two rings around the two large orbs that were on her hands. Such as the nuclear sign did, the enemy threw back her energy-sized hands, the bolts of manna streaming all around the orbs and her body; her body was lithely curved in the air as she threw the entire energy stream at the younger teen.
Summoning all the manna that she could, the teen threw up her largest and most powerful energy shield. Even though she had a shield and had stopped the manna stream from killing her; she was still thrown back from the gust of strong wind it made when it came in contact with her energy shield.
Fast as she could she stood right back up, one thing that was good and bad about this girl was that she was verystubborn. When she had one thing set onto her mind, she would go through it till the very end. So far, that was good.
Then the red-headed teen quickly made her manna steps in the air. Now she was face to face to her enemy in the air, both hands were glowing with their powerful manna. Both were tense, ready to pounce. The purple women grew tired of waiting and shot two long beams of manna at her rival. Cart-wheeling backwards in the air, she landed on one of her manna steps. Karate had paid off, well.
"That all you got?" she asked as she threw manna discs again at incredible speed, running closer to the enemy.
Quickly the enemy moved left and right, avoiding the discs being thrown at her. Both enemies moved back and forth in synchronization.
"No way," she smirked "that was just the crash course. Here's the realthing" her hands drew her white-pink manna again.
After another few blasts of white-pink manna, her shield shattered into pieces; the enemy using this as a chance, threw more menacing blasts at her. Cart-wheeling again to the side, she narrowly escaped the energy orb that was about to come in contact with her skin. As soon as her feet reached the marble stone floor, she started running again, blasting discs and beams of manna energy.
The attacker blocked them with a swipe of her manna and blasted the two tall podiums that stood from each side of her rival, the ceiling crashed down onto the young Anodite. Seeing the danger above her, she started to chant in her home language. Her hands were neon-bright pink, thrusting her bright hands to the large boulders above her head; echoes from her alien voice grew louder.
Suddenly, the echoes became visible to the attacker's eyes. The echoes were as pink as her enemy's energy was; the bright pink light was too much for the enemy's blue eyes to handle. She shielded them from the light. Another few seconds later, the bright light vanished and making sure it was safe to look; her face drew in shock and amazement. The ceiling that was supposed to be crushing her rival on the floor was perfectly put together as if the purple women had never touched it.
"What?" the enemy was shocked, her voice laced with venom and annoyance.
"I learned a thing or two from my Grandma Verdona" she smirked at her old enemy's distraught face.
"Argh! I worked my butt off for mypowers and you were born with it! You have so much power and you don't even use halfof it! I deserve them, not you!" her hands drew with manna as she shot them at her rival, fast and hard; letting her anger take control.
Running swiftly in the air, with her manna steps to support her in the air, she ran avoiding the manna beams being shot at her way. But she moved with struggle, her enemy was really angry now. Ugh, she needed to get the object and leave before something rash happens. Or that the other two would get worried for long she had been gone for and start to go looking for her; she needed them to stay away. She was doing this for a very good reason, but she had to do this by herself. Alone.
Throwing more manna at her enemy she quickly threw them even faster than before so her enemy couldn't escape. Her enemy fell onto the marble floor, unconscious. She had thirty seconds before her enemy would again be awake, throwing out her chances of escaping.
Quickly falling back onto the ground; she fell at a cat-like grace, something she had been born with naturally and been improved with her karate training. Running towards the podium again in the middle of the room, she grabbed the object fast just as her enemy was slowly groaning and standing up from the ground.
She then quickly shot a beam of bright-pink manna behind her enemy, summoning a vortex that she knew was to send her to the Null Void, where she wouldn't bother her or anyone else again. Before she turned around to leave the dark room, her enemy said with her last bit of conscious.
"Beware Gwendolyn Tenneyson; I may not look like it. But I know more about the stone than you do, the stone is something not to be taken lightly with. I know what you intend on using the stone for and I say: Don't. Because if you do, then all that you have done is ruining all life." she said grunting in pain, before being sucked into the pink vortex.
Looking back at the place where her enemy was, she turned around and run back up in the air towards the open window she had broken in from. She quickly ran back on her manna steps towards her house.
Replaying Charmcaster's words in her head over and over again, but she couldn't figure out what she had meant. So she had decided to ignore them. Completely forgot about Charmcaster for now.
She had to concentrate on something even more important now. The thing that she had planned forever, something that she had planned ever since those two decided to hack the stupid omnitrix. Why did they do it? Why didn't she stop them? Why didn't she take him and run before the explosion? It was her fault this happened, she should have stopped them. No, it was her stupid cousin's fault. No, it was hisfault that this happened. No. It had completely our entire fault this happened.
Though, she still blames Ben for this happening. If only he wasn't so obnoxious about him saving the whole entire universe. Excuse her heavy sarcasm, none of this would have happened. She had so many questions about that day, but they were the past. She can't do anything about that now. But she can do something about the life beforethat. Far, far back from then.
She smiled at the fact she was making this better, that she had found a way. That she had finally after agonizing hours of searching through endless spellbooks. She had gone for too long planning this, she had spent too many hours searching to throw this away; she had fought for too long to give this up. She wasn't going to stop this now; she had finally found a way to help his life for the better. She needed to do this, she had to.
She wasn't going to stop now because Charmcaster had told her something intelligent for once in her life. She had to do this and nothing was going to stop her.
"Hang on Kevin; I'm going to make this right. You won't be a monster anymore, I'll save you. I promise", she said as she disappeared in the darkness ahead.
