CHAPTER 53
THE FINAL BLOW
Taku finally had the strength to stand from the ground while he held his arm in pain from the last attack he was hit with. He suddenly heard Rai groaning in pain from the rock she was laying on beside from where he was standing. He looked over to her and saw her slowly moving her body around. "Rai!" He called as he began to make his way over to her.
Kayla and Mesu released each other's hands and made a nod towards each other before they both came charging towards the demon.
Mesu's tails had reached out towards the demon's hand and easily sliced the other hand off.
Kayla smiled as she saw the other hand drop into the magma. "Awesome, Mesu!"
"We still have a long way to go." She frowned as she saw one of the three tails the demon had strike towards her. She quickly dodged it and before another tail could strike at Kayla, she pushed her out of the way.
Kayla and Mesu fell to the ground after dodging the second tail.
Kayla sighed in relief, "Thanks."
"Don't mention it", she replied as she slowly tried to get off of the ground.
Once Taku got by Rai's side, he kneeled down next to her and held her in his arms. "Rai, are you okay?"
She opened her eyes slowly and turned to her brother in relief as she was glad that he was all right. "Taku, you're still alive."
He made a small nod, "I can say the same for you."
"I'm glad."
Mesu helped Kayla from the ground and was taken by surprise as she winced and cried out in pain. "Kayla, what's wrong?" Her eyes widened as she saw a huge stain of blood coming from the side of her stomach.
She stared at the blood on her hands in horror. "Oh God! I'm bleeding like crazy!" She watched as Mesu placed her hands on her shoulders.
"Kayla, you should just stay down and let me…"
"No! Mesu we were supposed to fight together remember?"
"Yeah but I want to protect you if Taku can't..."
"No!" She then placed her bloody hand in hers and held it tightly. "If Kaliyah no longer exists within me then you'll become my darkness and I'll become your light!"
"Kayla…" She then formed a warm and loving smile towards her. Her eyes then widened as she saw a bright white light suddenly appear from their hands.
Kayla soon realized that the light was coming from her own hands. "What? It's coming from me?"
Mesu's eyes widened at the amazing sight. "Kayla, does this mean…"
The squirrel clenched her fists tightly as she looked back at the demon who was preparing to attack them again. This time its eyes were glowing red as if it was going to attack with another energy blast. "That's right…I have Chaos powers!" When she saw the demon release the blast of red energy from its eyes, she raised her hands and blasted the white energy towards the red blast.
As their attacks collided, Mesu couldn't take her eyes away from it. "Whoa! That's an incredible amount of power!"
Taku and Rai watched in amazement at the clash of both Kayla's awakened Chaos powers and the demon's powers.
Kayla struggled as the demon's powers were pushing hers away at a slow rate. "Damn! It's still not strong enough!"
Rai looked down at the magma below them and saw it surprisingly increasing at a fast rate. "Oh crap! The magma is rising even faster than ever!"
Taku turned to Kayla in panic. "Come on, Kayla!"
"You can do it!" Rai added.
As Kayla tried to make her powers even stronger, she could suddenly heard everyone's voices inside of her head that was cheering for her.
"I love you, Kayla!" Shadow spoke.
"We believe in you" Ker spoke.
"We're not giving up on you!" Midnight spoke.
"I know you have the power to save Mobius!" Chase spoke.
"We have faith!" Tahaku spoke.
Kayla shut her eyes and focused on everyone who believed in her. 'I figured it out now', she thought. 'I do have a reason for living! My reason…is protecting the ones I love!'
Suddenly the light had gotten brighter and bigger and quickly began to overcome the demon's power.
The demon let out a cry of agony as the white blast of energy had finally made an impact.
Everyone watched in shock as the demon quickly dissolved into nothing from the powerful blast of energy.
Afterwards, Kayla kneeled to the ground and panted in exhaustion. "I…I did it…"
Taku and Rai watched as the magma started to flow back to its original state.
"The magma is flowing normally now", Rai spoke as she pointed at it.
Mesu helped Kayla from the ground and hugged her tightly. "You did good, Kayla."
The squirrel smiled as the hybrid hugged her.
Taku and Rai smiled at the sight until they heard Shadow's voice above them.
"Hey! The force field is finally down! We're going to get you guys out of there!"
Kayla sighed with relief as Mesu still held her in her arms. "It's finally over."
