A/N: Short, I know, and I wish I could of come up with more, but I just really want the fights to be one chapter a piece since they are pretty big fights and have flashbacks to reveal the three's training, so this primarily sets up those fights. Also I didn't want to put in any more of the Taranee vs. Mizu situation just yet. I just want to keep it a surprise. That and I've currently lost interest with my W.i.t.c.h. fics for the moment, as those of you who have me author alerted know I've been posting some Bleach fics as of late, and would be much appreciative if you wouldn't mind reading them. In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy this chapter, despite how unbelievably short it is, also I was thinking of redoing Tsunami and making it more detailed and have a couple more scenes. Please tell me what you think of this as I'd be happy to add things to make it not so fuzzy.
Another pillar collapsed as Oak retracted her fist from the falling debris. She turned her head to glare at the blonde haired girl that was much faster than she appeared. The girl's smug face annoyed the immortal. It was if the blonde had no fear of the painful agonizing death that would befall her once the cyborg got her hands on her.
"Are you finished playing around." Lillian yelled as she stared at Oak. The pinwheels had been in her eyes for a while now and her flash step kept her just sort of experiencing a blow from the armored woman, though she was pretty sure she could handle that too.
Chris, Chronos, and Lexis left to go help the rest of the combatants. Primarily the two in the Auramere Chamber and the Oracle's Chambers but it wasn't Lillian's concern. She had to do her part to stop the fortress from collapsing around them.
"You think that just because you got training from an eternal." Oak said angrily as she clenched her fists tightly. "That you can defeat me."
"That sums it up." Lillian sighed before she disappeared just as a powerful kick plowed into the stone floor where she stood. Lillian the reappeared in a different part of the room and grinned once again.
Oak realized what needed to be done. She needed speed to crack this annoyance's skull against the stone floor. Otherwise, she'd tire from exerting all this energy for near misses. The immortal smiled as she pressed two buttons on the shoulders of her armor that caused the back mounted cannons and the shoulder guards to fall from her body. She vanished the second she touched the ground and instantly Lillian was thrown hard into a pile of rubble.
Lillian stood rather quickly for someone that was just thrown into a building's wall. A red mark appeared rapidly on her face. She rubbed the sore spot and was thankful that it didn't bruise.
"How did you?" Oak questioned seeing Lillian's virtually uninjured appearance. The armored maiden struck the blonde with enough force to remove the lower jaw. She noticed a slight abrasive to the blow though. As if a pillow was put in the way of the blow.
"Atmosphere." Lillian responded as she vanished in with her speed, only this time hundreds of Lillians rapidly appeared around Oak. The speed at which the blonde was moving was faster than that in which light could keep up thus allowing her to be anywhere she wished with her flash step.
Atmosphere, it was the only hint to what Oak had hit. Could the blonde have meant something similar to a planet's atmosphere? It would make sense, a cushion of energy and air that stops space debris from crashing into a planet's surface would make for an excellent barrier technique; however, it was a barrier with quite some flaws. Hit with enough force or at the perfect angle and you'd go right through. Unfortunately, Lillian compensated for this with her speed, but Oak had a way around that too.
"Shoukentshousken." Oak screamed as she slammed her fist into the stone floor instantly shattering the surface. Pieces of rock flew into the air blocking the solid smooth surface that the blonde girl ran on. Oak then readied herself. Lillian would be slowed and she would have to hit at just the right moment to get through the atmosphere like barrier.
"Aurora." Lillian screamed as she plowed through a piece of debris and barreled at Oak from above. In the blonde's left hand was a glowing orb of energy that seemed to shift colors at will. Oak raised her armored arm to block the attack and was soon caught in a blast that caused the two to fall through the floor and into the chamber below.
"And this is one of the Regents of Earth." D said in an unimpressed tone. His small green orbs had effectively immobilized Matt and held his body perfectly in the air. The guitarist was expecting a little more punch from a being that had at least a third of a heart's power.
"You give him too much credit." Hay Lin chuckled sadistically as she pointed her sword at Matt's chest. She lunged foreword rapidly only for the attack to be stopped by a white energy arrow. She growled as a second one pierced her forearm. The two looked upward to find Lexis floating on now much more feather-like wings while her former wings rested near her wrist to form an energy bow.
Then in a flash all of D's orbs were frozen and shattered, thus releasing the two's tormented prey. D turned to the sound of water dripping off of Chris' claws as they melted in the warm Candracar sun.
"It's little Lillian's friends." D said with a chuckle before all of the beings on the ground feel the entire fortress shake. "And I'm guessing the Heart of Earth is with Oak."
"Yeah," Chris said as he turned toward D, but your fight is with us.
"Is that so," Hay Lin laughed as she turned instantly invisible. She knew she'd be hard to hit with any attack if she couldn't be seen, but she is stopped from leaving the room as another energy arrow slammed into the wall before her.
"Yes, and don't try to run." Lexis said calmly as she formed another energy arrow. The woman was however worried about Lillian after that intense burst of energy that preceded the structure's violent shaking.
