Those eyes. All I need to see is those eyes and the colour in face will drain and I will clamp up in a cold and stiff position. It won't take long before my eyes wander to his rising chest that bears the three pendants of the fallen Garde. And then the scar. The ugly purple scar that pulses and lights up when he smiles at me. I can smell his foul breath and the yellowing teeth are just as hideous. But I do not move. His aggression and threats do not scare me anymore.
I know that we can defeat him and we will do so together.
This is my dream and the Garde are always here.
We combine those amazing legacies that we have trained to become strong. I have my Externa and I can propel some kind of energy from my body. I don't know what to call it but as long as it can take out this leader, I will wield it with pride. The other Garde, John Smith, his palms are on fire and he glows the same blue light that our pendants are. Another Garde, a girl with long dark hair, she propels some kind of white/blue energy from her hands and a taller girl with blondish black hair is brandishing lightning and a mixture of fire and water. A boy with long black hair carries a pole with him and in his left hand, he holds a ball of white light that beats almost like a heart. Another boy stands adjacent to him and his left arm is large and green, almost like a claw or fin and his hand glows softly with a strong green light. Then there is the smaller of the Garde. She's younger but more than capable. She creates streaks of light with her hands and her determined expression keeps us all focused.
I turn towards the enemy and I see someone. It's not Blake... it's, one of us. He's the boy I knew on the ship and I always felt close to. He's bigger now and stockier. I want to grin at him, hoping the memories of us playing together come back to him. But something is very wrong, his eyes glow a dark purple, a similar purple to the scar on the Leader's neck. He seems to turn silver and he holds a piece of dark energy that flickers in his fist.
"W-what are you doing?!" I scream at him.
The boy does not respond but simply gives me an evil grin. This...is not the boy I know and came to love. He's too evil...he's too... My heart sinks in my chest and I want to cry.
"You're one of us!" I yell at the top of my lungs, the tears burning my eyes. There's a large lump in my throat that threatens to suffocate me.
"How can you work for him?!" I yell but the boy simply smiles. The leader begins to laugh and the boy does too. I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart.
"You...you...you..." I can hardly get the words out. I start to yell obscenities at him. "You lie...that's not one of us! He can't be!"
The leader laughs again. "It's not lying when it's the truth" he grins at me.
The boy walks forward and gives me an evil smile. So evil that I want to strangle him. He holds something on his arm. A sleeve like thing that seems harmless on the surface but I know it has some sinister purpose. He holds his hand out to me as if in a gesture of kindness.
"Join us" he says in a voice that is dark and I know is not his own. "You don't stand a chance against our armies. You will only end up losing the ones you love." He shows me an image of Blake in the dark matter in his hand. It flickers and dissolves into the dark matter and glows the eerie purple again. "Join us, and you will be given glory and we'll let your boyfriend live too. You can rule the world with us and spend some time with..."
I don't let him finish. "NEVER!" I scream and I step forward to slice the hand he is offering to me off his body. But the sleeve thing reveals a dagger underneath and he swings forward and stabs me instead.
