I don't own dinosaur king, or any of its characters, but I do own this awesome book.
I neverliked seeing that saddened look in her eyes. Like when she lost Paris, her face covered in tears was torture to me. Now though, It was different, like she wanted to cry, and let it out, but she couldn't. I've felt that way for so long now, even before the death of my parents. I always thought I should act like the leader I was supposed to be. I always felt the weight of the world, was on my shoulders, and it literally was when I first fought Seth. He was the fiercest opponent I ever faced, if he were a demon, he'd beat even Chimera any-day. That weighting emotion feels like hell. Though, It's needed for a leader.
"Zoe... what is it? What happened back there?" I asked.
She whipped her head back at me, tears already at her eyes. "Nothing okay! Nothing!" She snapped.
I gave her the look. "Listen, its not enough that you don't even know who or what you are, You don't have to keep this to yourself. Please... tell me." I pressed.
All she did was run back to Rex, leaving a shocked Chimera standing there, his mouth agape. "Don't you dare ignore me, you little bitch!" He yelled, flying for her. No! Not her! Charging with a new fury, I jumped, spun and drop kicked him down to the floor, shattering it.
"If you ever come near her again, I'LL TEAR YOUR F*****G THROAT OUT!" I yelled. I landed next to his disfigured form, and jumped back as he slowly rose.
"You impudent hitch!" He yelled. He charged again, but I was ready. Drawing my black blade, I slashed across his arm, Sending him flying behind me. God, I love super-human strength. He flew into the darkened wall, sending the first rays of sunlight into the into the tower. The sunlight rays felt good on my skin, though blinding me slightly. Chimera screamed, and thrashed around in a rapid way. As if the sunlight was affecting him. His flesh was starting to burn and hiss.
"AGH! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!" He screamed. Sunlight! His weakness is sunlight!
"So... sunlight works... excellent." I said with pleasure. I kicked him through the walls, making more sunlight enter the tower. Will... this is a tad pathetic. A demon, half worshiped as a god... has a weakness to sunlight.
"ENOUGH!" He yelled. He threw a giant orb of purple energy at the sky, making it erupt, showering the entire place in shadows. The entire atmosphere felt cold, and dark.
"Ah... thats much better... no sunlight doesn't kill me, it only burns. The dusk brings my powers back." He muttered in glee. I can't beat him at this rate. He's too strong... What do I do? I used up to much power fighting the chimera version of Rex, and I don't think I have the time or energy to fight. Zoe stepped in front of me, with a weird smile on her face.
"Leave this to me... Max." She said. She spread out her palms, as green energy circulated into a sphere. She launched it, enveloping him in green radiant lights. His scream echoed throughout the room, as Chimera disappeared into the sphere. The sphere remained, twisting, and turning, like a portal. Zoe turned to face me, her face beaded with sweat.
"Okay... That's it..." Her face became damp with tears. "I'll tell you okay? One of us will Die!"
Her words shocked me more than anything. "W-what?"
"One of us will die... I create a portal that can quell his strength slightly, someone has to go through the portal to vanquish him."
Responsibility, that's the first words that me like a train. Its the one thing I have to know to be a leader, but This could cost me my life. Well... who cares, the life of one half-blood, or humanity itself. Like I would choose myself over that.
"I'll-" I started.
"I'll do it." Rex muttered.
I looked at him in shock.
"No... its me!" I yelled. He was not taking that role. Somebody's gotta take care of Zoe while i'm gone.
"And why not?" He asked.
"Because, I AM YOUR LEADER!" I screamed. That's why I put my life of the line. All because, I was the leader of the D-team. I have the right to sacrifice my life for the lives of my team, and humanity.
"Wh-what?" Rex gasped shocked.
"I'm your leader... you guys are my life, and I'm willing to give my lives for all of you." I said, a loyal smile slowly appearing at my face. "And I don't want to let her down..."
Zoe just started sobbing. I guess it's the fact that I Took up my responsibility as a leader. Then she did something that changed everything. She kissed me, and not just the normal peck, I mean... seriously! I could literally feel drive energy coursing into my body, and as we parted, she fell to the floor.
"Z-...Zoe?" I muttered. I think my face was redder than my crimson energy. Rex gave a weird smirk, and looked like he was about to laugh at my reaction. My glare forced that smiling gaze off his face.
I looked at my left hand, that was now cracking with blue energy, and my Red energy focused in my right hand. What... did she do to me? "I saw what happened Max... Drive users have an ability to give energy to another drive user, through... contact of any kind." Rex finished smirking. I glared, but sooned smiled. I felt rejuvenated, I didn't know drive users could do that!
Rex scooped Zoe in his arms and went to hand her to me. I knew what I had to do, and this is my only chance. "Rex..." I muttered.
"Yeah?"
"Take care of Zoe for me." I managed.
"W-what do you mean?" He said, giving me a weird look.
"...Goodbye my friend." I said smiling.
He finally figured it out, though he was too late to stop me. I took on into a sprint, and dove into the green portal. The only thing I heard, was Rex, screaming my name. That kiss from Zoe... I'll carry that memory with me to the afterlife. I saw the green energy around me, surrounding me. I saw Chimera far in front of me, and I already knew what I had to do.
"Even though i'm trapped in this sphere, you still don't have the power to kill me." He yelled.
"Yeah maybe, but we won't really know until I try!" I retorted. I stripped off my black jacket, and charged all my energy into my palm. We were both the son of the famous Demon Claw, time for the sons to face off. I've got a new name for this move move, from taser hand to demon claw! I charged, dragging my hand across the ground, leaving a crevice, and a trail of smoke. Chimera did the same with his purple mass of a claw. We both ended up charging into each-other, the explosion was glorious. I stood my ground against the tremendous force I felt, but I pushed on. With one last scream, We both went through each-other, my palm, piercing his chest, and from the fierce pain I felt, I got hit too.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Chimera screamed, as he was blown away. I was flying to, and flew through the portal, ending up on the other side before it closed. I couldn't feel the air around me. Everything was muffled and blurry. I looked at my chest to find a huge gaping hole where my heart should be.
I saw two figures above, staring me down. That must be Zoe and Rex. I could here a hint of a scream, "Close dammit! CLOSE!" Zoe must've been trying to heal my wounds. I guess she used up all her energy healing Rex, and giving me more, though it wouldn't make to much of a difference. Their was a gaping hole where my heart should be, even if she did heal me, without a heart, I'm as good as dead.
"Z-oe... I..." I managed weakly, coughing up a ton of blood. "I... Lo... Ugh..." I couldn't even say my last words... damn... My eyes slowly closed, welcoming the darkness that followed. I welcomed the sweet embrace of death, knowing that I saved the world again. Goodbye... my friends.
Well thats the end of that story, (story not series) their will be more, and Just so you know, this ain't the end of Max Taylor. Read my next book, Thanks!
