The End Battle Part 2

Within the mind

Black Cat stood in darkness created by the Shadow Princess' presence in her body. Her own body had white smoke drifting off it, giving her a 'ghostly' appearance.

You have made a grave mistake 'Black Cat' I rule this mind as if it were my own, surrender and I may consider forgiving you.

Black Cat spat. I'll never join you! I'll get you for what you did to Bianca, now come out and show me your real face!

There was a chuckle but the princess' voice echoed and came from everywhere.

Oh alright then, since you insisted 'Black Cat'.

She teased the name but black Cat wasn't tempted to chase into darkness. Darkness swirled in front of Black Catbefore the Shadow Princess' true form appeared in front of her. It was her human form with long hair but instead of being straight they were completely beautiful ringlets that reached her waist.

Her dress was a black gothic Lolita but with red ribbons and red strings in her knee high boots, which were also black. Her skin was still grey but only her irises glowed red and not the whole eyeball. She was frowning.

Now we end this. Black Cat lowered into the fighting stance she was familiar with before breathing a massive wave of purple and blue flames.

Spinning around the Shadow Princess dodged and raised her hand as a powerful sphere of energy began to charge, intent on hitting Black Cat but before she could dodge, her feet sunk into the floor.

You spineless bitch! She froze.

What did you call me?! Black Cat growled.

You heard me you gutless cow! Her face burned red before she doubled the sphere's size and threw it.

Black Cat's body suddenly bent back, like she received a punch to the face but her right foot was behind her, slowly standing back in that original position and expression blank as blood run down her nostril.

Inside the mind, Black Cat coughed from the damage of the sphere, weakly standing to her feet but stumbled.

Ha hah! I am the Shadow Princess and I am undefeatable! Bow to me and admit your defeat!

Black Cat looked up before struggling to her feet.

That…that's what you said about the Destroyer of Worlds and I still…still managed to beat him…

She frowned.

Yes, that is a shame, I've had that idiot under my control for years and he still manages to fail me.

Black Cat growled.

You had him under mind control this entire time?! Who else is under your influence?!

The shadow Princess chuckled before flinging another sphere but Black Cat flew in the air and released another wave of odd coloured flames at the dark princess. She fell screaming to the floor as her dress caught on fire.

Black Cat's body grunted as a severe burn appeared across her left arm but slowly her expression became blank again.

Black Cat tackled the Shadow Princess and they smashed onto the ground, causing the body to cough up blood, resulting in the pair doing the same.

We're destroying this body from every hit we take. She realised before cursing but Black Cat tackled her and kept pushing down on her as the princess looked at her with wide fear-filled eyes.

What're you doing?! If anything happens to this body, we'll both die! Black Cat glared at her.

I'd rather die than let you take over this world. She continued pushing until she fell.

Black Cat's body reacted as the Shadow Princess' spirit flew out and crashed into the snow. Black Cat became conscious and winced from the damage her body had taken. The Shadow Princess' face was twisted with rage and hate before she ran at her but Black Cat just punched her in the face, breaking her nose.

She clutched her nose as blood ran down before a portal of darkness opened behind her. There was suction, pulling both girls towards it but Black Cat managed to hold her ground. The Shadow Princess clung to the snowy terrain.

"If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me!" She screeched before a shadow shot out and wrapped around Black Cat's ankle, causing her to gasp and fall over. She clung to the ground as the Shadow Princess was already inside but still clung onto BC's leg with her shadow.

Black Cat looked up as a shadow covered her. The Shadow Princess also looked up, seeing the Destroyer. It knelt before grabbing Black Cat gently, causing the princess to grin, until he pinched the shadow so she flew into the vortex, screaming as it closed.

The Destroyer still had bandages wrapped around its head, so how it could see was still a mystery to Black Cat. The Destroyer knelt and lowered its hand so BC could get down before reaching up and removing the bandages to show gentle grey eyes and spiked silver hair.

"I am terribly sorry for my sins, Malady but you have freed me from the Shadow Princess, for that, I am eternally in your debt." He bowed his head before Elder Choi Lei spoke.

"Without the sun, we'll all die. What can we do? Our magic's not strong enough to change the sun back." She said as Black Cat let out a sigh. "Sparx?" He flew over to her, followed by Tanya. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"Where's that amulet I gave you? I need it." He nodded. "Just over there, I'll be back before you know it." Spyro walked over. "Black Cat, what're you gonna do?" She looked at her friend and carefully knelt beside him, swaying slightly.

"I was going to use the power of the amulet to change myself back once this was all over but now, I guess its use is for something far more important." She said just as Sparx appeared and handed her the amulet.

"What sort of amulet is that?" He asked as BC stood. "A powerful one." She walked backwards, away from the group and took a deep breath. A wind blew around BC like a tornado, throwing her hair and clothes about.

She held the amulet in her right hand above her head, her left hand over her heart.

'I wish for the sun to return!' There was a massive glow from BC's heart as it travelled through her arm, to her right and into her hand, feeding the amulet her power. The light shot a beam at the moon, creating a massive shockwave over it, making it glow a bright orangey yellow.

Then there was a flash as Black Cat's eyes became dull and she fell to her knees. The amulet crumbled before turning to dust. She looked up at the blinding sun before noticing the group slowly approach her.

"Defeated the Shadow princess and brought back the sun, man you're tougher then you look." Mused Bianca who had woke up. "Hey, how do you feel? Did it hurt?" BC asked as she resisted her body urging her to collapse.

"It really did hurt but I'm glad everyone's okay." Black Cat looked up at the Destroyer. "Sorry about your hand." He shook his head.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, besides," He showed them a freshly regenerated hand. "-it came back." She chuckled. "That's a handy skill." Choi Lei knelt in front of Black Cat. "How bad does it hurt?" She blinked and sighed.

"I'm tired more than anything else." Then everyone noticed Red trying to leave, holding a hand over his bleeding chest where BC's attack had hit him. Elder Thomas created a barrier around him and since the fight; he was too weak to break it.

"Let him go." They looked at Black Cat in shock. Hunter knelt beside her.

"You do realise what you're saying, right?" She nodded before standing but stumbled. "Let him go, he helped me get into the mind of this body and fight the Shadow Princess. Just let him go." Thomas clicked his fingers and the barrier vanished. He stared at Black Cat who stared back.

"We're even now. So take the advantage and flee." Black Cat said, feeling her muscles burning. He blinked. "No, we're not." Then he sent her a message in her mind. 'You haven't seen the last of me.' And with that, he teleported.

"Jerk." She heard from Spyro as the Destroyer flashed, becoming half his previous size. He still had stitches all over his body though. He knelt and gently picked up Black Cat. She looked at him. "So, before you were under her influence, did you have a previous life?" He nodded.

"Yes, in fact, I was a tailor and a Runist." She blinked. "What's a Runist?" She asked as Elder Magnus explained. "Well sweetheart, a Runist is someone who creates powerful runes and talismans." Hunter frowned.

"You look familiar…" He nodded. "I should, I created those talismans for each world in Avalar." He stumbled back in surprise. "You made those?! Those talismans are incredibly powerful!" He looked at Hunter. "What does that tell you about me?" Hunter blinked.

"I'm never challenging you to an arm wrestle match." Everyone laughed at that as Tanya flew over and handed BC the crystal she was trapped in. It was smooth and round, shaped like a crescent. It started glowing as Black Cat held it.

"I'm glad the end-of-the-world fight is over." Bianca said, holding her arm as Thomas and Choi Lei were talking about something. Black Cat looked at Spyro. "I still can't believe you can fly now, that's so cool." He grinned, absorbing the praise but then the smile vanished.

"But you gave up your only way to change back to your other form." BC nodded. "Yeah but the world's more important, besides, this form isn't that bad." She said as Spyro was still thinking about it.

Once they saw the teleporter though, everyone grew sweat drops.

"The professor will not be pleased."

After teleporting back to the Dragon Village, the villagers stared at the former Destroyer of Worlds. "Who's that?" one of them asked as everyone panicked.

"This is Des." Black Cat said quickly and shrugged from Des' questioning look. Then he just went with it. "Yes, I'm new around here." He explained before Choi Lei appeared beside him. "We need to take Black Cat to the medical ward, follow me please." She asked as he nodded and followed the dragon elder.

Des gently placed Black Cat down on the hospital bed before standing out of the way as Choi Lei held her palm out, a green light glowing from her hand and changed colour over different parts of Black Cat's body.

"You've got severe internal dam-" She frowned as the colour changed back to a lighter green. "You used to have severe internal damage but they just healed…" Choi Lei mumbled as Black Cat blinked, knowing she didn't have the power to heal or regenerate. "But you're still staying overnight in case there are any changes." She sighed; at least it was just one night.

Black Cat and Tanya's house

A shadowed figure held his hand open, causing the door to swing open before entering and carefully walking upstairs as the floorboards creaked under his weight. Lifting a cushion, the figure reached into the pocket of his cloak and placed it underneath before walking out the door, down the stairs and shutting the door behind him and locking it before he walked off into the cave and vanished.
