Chapter Twenty Nine: Black Heart II


Frost's POV
I stood there, purely petrified at the very scene before me. The sky held a dark red colour that seemed to hand down from the skies, inflicting paranoia and utter fear into my very being, causing my eyes to widen whilst I stared off in the distance at the mutilated pile of bodies. The silence run in my ears as chimes began to sound, creating a pleasant melody that seemed fitting for this eerie atmosphere. I can't even move a muscle... It's... Killing me. The fear is eating at my sane mind! I can't let it! No!

Mindy's POV
I gasped, gritting my teeth as blood squirted onto my face, blinding me for a split second but I didn't give up on my ruthless attack. My silver, heavy blade sliced through five of their necks, causing their heads to dislodge from their body as a stream of endless blood showered me with pleasure and the feeling of fear. I blinked, immediately lifting up my left hand up to my face, biting on the dark grey sleeves of my buttoned uniform to conceal my entire hand. As fast as I could, I closed my eyes and began to rub my face with my sleeves, wiping off the fresh blood from my eyes, allowing me to see once again.

The moment I had opened my eyes, my pupils contracted as my light red eyes widened in pure shock and fear... What...

"Hahahaha! The day is finally here!", a female voice screamed from seemingly nowhere in the the new, eerie atmosphere that accompanied my new surroundings perfectly. I gasped in shock, choking on the air that got trapped in my throat before taking a step back, trembling as I looked all over the place to find the source of the noise.

"Who's there?!", I exclaimed in fear, looking up to see the crumbled buildings of this abandoned, dusty city that had most of its structured destroyed down to just a pile of rubble. The sky was a dark red and smelt like blood and dirt. "Show yourself!", I cried, gripping my Blitzerg as tight as possible with my right hand as my heart began to beat excruciatingly fast, feeling like it could just lunge out and splatter against the cracked, black concrete ground.

"The day that I will conclude both your lives! Black heart and White Heart!", the voice exclaimed, laughing right afterwards which caused me to attach my left hand onto the base of the charcoal coloured handle, right under my right hand as she mentioned Frost.

"Where's Black Heart?!", I cried, sneering at the unknown, female voice right before the ground began to tremble from underneath me, causing me to gasp on e again and almost topple over. I stumbled backwards, clenching my teeth as hard as grinders as I stared down at the unstable ground.

"Gravedigger!", Another female voice exclaimed in a high pitch just as a cluster of stone and concrete sprouted upwards, causing my heart to skip a beat to how sudden it was. Not a second later, the sound of grinding rocks filled my very ears, causing them to fold in pain as a massive, brown, metallic plated worm with spikes all over it sprouted up from the ground in front of me... What... Is that...

"Gravedigger?", I asked in pure utter shock as I stared up at it, completely dumbstruck on how it's even here in the first place and why... Wait a second... That worm! It's a mixture of earth, and wind! Metallic plates and the ability to manuver itself with life!? Dammit! That means the two remaining Elementals must be here as well!

"Poor Black Heart. Haha! Let's see how long you can last against her AND our creation! A combined monster!", a voice screamed just as the shaking ceased along with the dreadful, rock shattering noises, allowing my ears to erect themselves slowly before Frost appeared before me from out of the blue, holding her Exzarca I her right hand downwards, the razor sharp tip touching the crumbled ground as an eerie fog surrounded us like the spirits of the damned.

My eyes widened as wide as day as I stared into her dark, demonic red eyes that told me everything about her... Blood trickled down from the right of her mouth, dripping from her white, blood-smeared chin as she stared back at me uncannily... I trembled to the amount of shock and fear I received from her. From her sweet, bloody scent and the insanity and bloodlust in her very eyes...

"Mindy... It's show time!", she exclaimed, smiling more demonically before she sent an uppercut at me with her blade, only did I jump back to just watch it slice a small slit across my right cheek upwards. Dammit!

Frost's POV/
"Just how much do you care about Mindy?", the shadow asked me as I grit my teeth, tensing up while it walked around me clockwise. I stood as still as a brick, now not afraid but unable to move due to some magical force that restricted me from doing so.

"Why do you ask?", I asked in an angry tone, knowing that Mindy may he in some sort of trouble if it'd ask me about her.

Mindy's POV/
Ruby?! What does she think she's doing?! "Mindy! You take Frost out while I stall the worm!", she cried as I parried Frost's vertical slice forcefully and sent a lunge for her heart. She side stepped it and spun around clockwise, sending a backhanded slice to my head that I luckily ducked just in time to see it pass my face in slow motion.

"Easier said than done!", I replied back in a yell, erecting myself as straight as a wall before clenching my teeth twice as hard, immediately sending one hell of a horizontal slash with my right hand alone at Frost's chest.

She leaped backwards, barely dodging my blade that looked like a blur to the naked eye as she skidded on the corrupted road, kicking white particles of suffocation and irritation into the cold, windless air that surrounded us like a force field, trapping us inside of this retched place until the last one standing.

Argh! Does she have a weakness!? "I will kill you with my bare hands Mindy! And I will make Frost suffer for all of eternity for this sin! Ahahah! She's never leave this place!", Frost. No. It screamed followed with laughter just as a building up ahead began to collapse to the ground, trembling the ground as if an earthquake was taking place here once again.

"I won't allow that! My Blitzerg will banish you!", I yelled back confidentially, making her laugh even more.

"Blitzerg!? Hahah! The Exzera should be your blade!", She snapped back, laughing whilst I grew madder and madder at her, wanting to rip her very body into shreds... There must be some sort of weakness she has!

Frost's POV

My eyes widened in pure shock and horror. My blood began to slow down its pace as my heart skipped so many beats that I'd be medically impossible for me to even be alive... Mindy... Ruby... Right in front of me, not four meters away, were my two beloved figures, hung from their hands by dark grey chains of sorrow that seemed to be attached to the very sky... No...

"Who do you love more?", The shadow asked me, causing me to gasp as it stood to the right of me, staring me deeply into my light red eyes that housed all sorts of negative emotions and some tears ready to fling out like a calm river.

"I love them both!", I cried still staring at them as they suspended slightly in mid air with their feet almost touching the blood stained earth.

"Who'd you rather save?", The figure asked, causing my heart to drop... My pupils contracted to the point where only ones among the insane could accomplish...

"Both of them!", I cried.

Mindy's POV

I blocked one of her vertical slices and quickly lept to the right to JUST dodge a lethal push kick that would've broken my chest into three big chunks of bones. Argh! She's gotten stronger!?

"AHHHHHHH!", I heard Ruby scream from up ahead, forcing my heart to skip a beat. Dammit! I have to go check on her!

As fast as I could, I ran straight past Frost, not engaging in anymore conflict as Ruby was now on the top of my priority list. The first one! I jumped over a large crack on my way there as the giant, brown plated worm let out a treacherous screech that caused me to cringe in pain, forcing my light purple cat-like ears to fold atop of my head dearly.

"Ruby! Are you alrig-", I slowed down, slowly ceasing my running as I looked dead ahead at the far end of the street, just under the destroyed traffic lights to see her... But not how she was... Her arms... HER ARMS! I gasped, trembling like never before due to the sheer amount of shock and fear eating away at my very heart and soul. I dropped down to my knees, clutching my aching heart as I dropped my blade aside, not caring anymore as Ruby was no longer... Here... "Ruby...", I whimpered, feeling my eyes begin to sting harshly due to the amount of tears building up from within me. Bastards... I... I...

"Hahaha! Look how the all mighty White Heart has fallen! We've broken you! And now! Frost! Tho art is to FUCKING KILL HER!", I heard the two female voices exclaim from where the giant worm stood up high like a solider, guarding them with all it's existence...

"White Heart will never see another day ever again. I shall keep her here with me forever and ever inside this twisted, demonic hell of my creation", Frost whispered coldly from behind me... Slowly, tears fled from my sore, light red eyes as I tilted my head upwards to see her, holding her blade up high above her with both her hands... "Goodnight, my sweet, sweet Princess"...
