Brianna's POV
I don't know what came over me, despite the pain...I was up and down the stairs, into a meeting, of arguing people.
"It's been confirmed by our scouts, there is an army of monsters waiting for us. And Vulcan is here as well." Amir said, and everyone started gasping and whispering among them.
"We'll need someone to lead the army, we fight them while you and a few others sneak into the castle."
"I'll do it." I said...and I knew I was gonna have to fight Blitz over this...and the look he gave me...would have broken anyone's heart.
Blitz just shook his head as Brick looked like he was actually thinking about it, "No...Hell No. Dusk...just go back and rested...you're still not feeling well."
"I'm feeling fine...and I'm telling you...I can lead the army and buy you all the time you need," I smiled a little, "I am a Desert Muse Fey."
That made everyone whispered as I knew it would and I could see the people were slowly building up there courage especially the Desert Knights, since it was part of the legend of their origin.
"You have a Desert Muse Fey..."
"I thought they were wiped out a long time ago..."
"Where are her wings?"
That last question really hit home...but I looked up at Brick and the others.
"I can do this." I said.
Amir and Brutus bowed to me, "If the Fey fight, we shall fight along side of you."
I nodded, but I could see the angry in Blitz's face, the mixed worried/ angry face. I forgotten how cute he could actually look when he was mad...I'm mad enough for both of us usually. I wasn't strong enough to save my home...So...
"We're gonna have to fight."
"Get a Weapon! These Soldiers think because we're Fey, we're just gonna sit here and die! I say we prove them wrong! If we die! We die Fighting for OUR FREEDOM!"
I shivered at that memory...
"Dusk...I'll give you til tonight to think this over..."Brick looked at me, seriously.
"I DON'T NEED TO THINK IT OVER, " I had to calm myself down, but my heart was tore as I saw Blitz turning around, "Listen, this Salmander is a Fire Demon...so...you and Blitz, you can handle fire...but I can't but...Leading the Army...I can buy you as much time as you need...Vulcan wouldn't even see me coming...I bet he doesn't know that you have a Desert Muse Fey and there's you're best chance."
I knew I made a good point, not even Blitz could deny that...or argue with me...but I kinda wish he would...I knew that Brick didn't really want to decide like that and Butch didn't want us to fight...they had just leave the decision open.
"Like I said, I'll give you time to think." Brick said again...he looked pale...like he was sick...
I walked off...I knew what they were doing...they were hoping Blitz's would talk me out of this...but...but...I know Blitz doesn't want to lose anyone else...I walked back into the room...and for once...I noticed the Portrait...of a serious man and sitting on his lap with a smile couldn't have been anyone else except Blitz.
I remembered that day when he first heard his father die...even though his father disowned...I've never seen...Blitz just burst into tears...He was really a gentle giant...It broke my heart to see him like that...It made me remember all the pain that warfare...fighting just brought...All the sadness...and that look in his eyes...for that brief moment...he lost hope...like I did before...he...freed me. He was just one of those people...that if he lost hope...it really would be the end...I blushed...that was our 'first'.
I heard the door opened and closed and I turned to see Blitz...he looked ready to fight me.
"You can't do this...I just hope you know that...I've spoiled and let you get away with things but not this...No way in hell you're going out there and...and...getting killed. Do you hear me?"
I tried to be mean and serious, but honestly I've never been so scared, "I like to see you try and stop me. I have to do this...you know I'm right...I'm the best choice. If you think-"
"THIS ISN'T SOME *BEEPING* GAME! DON'T YOU GET IT!" Blitz was nearly burning up literally, I've never seen him like this, "HAVEYOU EVER BEEN AT WAR! HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN BATTLE! IT'S NOTHING LIKE YOU TAKING ON THOSE SOLDIERS!"
I was taken back by his screaming, I've only seen him when his father called me some things, thinking I was no good for Blitz. Blitz was ready to fight his own father over me.
"YOU'LL BE SURPRISED AT WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH!" I yelled right back at him, I wanted to smack him for reminding me...of Duskia...and my family...those dark painful memories, "I CAN'T..."
"YOU CAN'T WHAT? LISTEN TO ME! PEOPLE WILL DIE ALL AROUND YOU! I HAVE! I'M THE LAST OF MY RACE DAMN IT! I SAW-"Blitz held my face, he looked ready to cry...those milky grayish white were shimmering...with so much life...I remember only one time...when they were shimmering with life, "I...I...couldn't bare it...if you died...I can withstand arrows...swords...and all that shit but if you died-"
"Blitzkrieg." I smiled a little, as a few tears fell down my cheeks.
"If you died...I died right there...I couldn't...It would break my heart." He kissed me on the cheek, "Please...please for me, say you won't go out there. You'll stay here...and be safe."
"Blitz...c'mon now...stop this...You know I can't...I...I...wanna be of some use to you...You know that. Now stop it...you know I'm no good at this mushy shit, "I was wiping my tears away as fast as I could but they were replaced by more, "I just never realized that I meant that much to you, for you to be so overdramatic." I sat on the bed and he just looked at me, stunned.
"Dusk, Brianna...Princess...you make me so happy, "He sat next to me, "Just...damn it...don't do this...please...I can tell them that you're gonna protect the Star Goddess, or Buttercup."
"Blitz don't be stupid. You know Buttercup and I will will probably kill each other." I tried to joke but Blitz wouldn't even look at me, he was just sadly looking at the ground, I just started crying out loud,"You don't get it."
I started crying out loud...
"Princess..." Blitz sounded so worried.
"You're so strong...when you were kidnapped...when those monsters took you away...you were shot...and cut...and slashed. I...I just want to protect you..but I couldn't. I had to depend on others to get you out of Vulcan's hands but I was so worried...If you die...and then you broke up with me...I felt so mad and lost and...and-"
Blitz hugged me to his chest, shushing me, "Oh Princess..."
"But this time...I can actually do something. This is my element...I can help...You think I could bare it if you died on me...You jerk...You're so selfish...If I...I stayed here and you died..."I wiped away the tears, "It doesn't matter...because you're not gonna talk me out of this."
"This is about what happened in Duskia, isn't it? You would have been a child then...right...twenty years ago...hard to believe you're actually older than me."
I never told anyone...the horror...standing there and just watching...not having enough power to do anything, I twirled that stupid braid around my finger. The horrible fact was...I too might be the last of my kind...
"That's not important. That has nothing to do with it. I'm gonna help you whether you want me to or not."
Blitz just sighed and rubbing his eyes.
Blossom's POV
"You should have seen the look on Blitz's face, I couldn't agree to it, not unless...Blitz really agreed to it." Brick was talking to me, I wrapped my arms around his neck, he was still sweating and he seem so weak.
He won't survive another attack...
"Don't worry, I'm gonna help her." I said, and he shot me this look, "I just wanna be some use to you for once."
"Angela..."
"No...you're not gonna talk me out of this. I know you heard what Scholar Utonium said...you'll die if we don't get you on that throne...Your powers are turning you into a Full Cynderian...but your body can't handle the heat...its burning you up on the inside," I just started to cry like a baby, "I just can't bare the thought of losing you too. This war has taken my father who just wanted to have a family, my Mother...who I never saw again, My mother just wanted to be happy...with the man she loved and her child...I won't let us be like them."
"Angela..."
"I know you don't blame me for what happened...last year...How stupid I was...Losing the Baby-"
He grabbed me by the shoulders, "You know I never blamed you for that! So shut up about that!"
"Brick?"
"Listen to me...it was hard I'll admit that...but I never blamed you not once...we both didn't even know...isn't that funny? That you were pregnant...if I had any idea...I would have never have let you go to that damn mission on Dalmascan Terrority. Anyways... We can have another all right...we can. Now enough about that-" Brick was coughing again, "I'm gonna finally give you a home where you'll be safe and happy. So no crying alright, you know how much I hate crying." He smiled a little, and winced...
Another attack is coming...
I was just so mad...Brick was dying...and I couldn't heal him...it just wasn't fair...another attack and he was gone forever...He started clenching his chest a little.
"Damn it!" I pounded my fist onto the bed and Brick just stared at me, he was so frail and weak, "This isn't fair!"
"Angela."
"No...Its not fair! We've been through so much...and now...we're just a day away and you have to start dying on me! I won't let you! You Hear me! I won't!" I was about to get up and run for help but he just grabbed me by the hand.
He was in so much pain but he just smiled, "Angela...shut up...If you think I'm gonna let this stop attack stop me, you forget who I am. I made a promise to your dad, that I would make you happy...and I'm gonna do it, even if I'm gonna have to crawl to my throne." Brick was coughing up smoke.
I held him in my arms, "It's not fair...wait, I have an idea."
Lucky for me...my idea worked...Blitz could eat fire...so I thought why not take the fire from Brick's body, the flame that was devouring his body. It was a temporary solution...but the attack faded away.
Buttercup's POV
"You don't want me to go." I haven't been back for more than a couple of hours and already I wanted to punch that jerk in the face, "But you'll need me." Sam and Fang attacked me.
"With you here BB, the lady has gone bye bye. And my friend has came back too..." Sam hugged me. She reminded of my little brother Sam so much, it was like he was hugging me...or tackling me...
"Buttercup...I'm asking you nicely as I can...I'm begging you to stay here."Butch frowned, "Sam needs you...Please just do this. You're safe here. Vulcan or his minions can't step foot on this ground. It's holy."
I stood up, "But I can't...I made promise to Muriel...that I would save this World...as your Goddess...You need me...I can't just stand here."
"Vulcan will be there." He flatly said.
I have to admit, that did scare me...Vulcan made me shiver...and it wasn't fair...especially what he did...What did he do?
"I have to...be there...I have to help...I can't just stand back and-"
"Buttercup...this is a war...this is a fight...a battle...People will die...can you handle that? From your reactions, I bet you've never dealt with death...Let me tell you...a Battle is a thousand times worse. Those who can fight, you blank out...and if you're lucky, your body will move on its own. Your will will be to live or you'll fall apart. I once had a rebel soldier, he was so excited...his first battle...but when he was out there...he went completely mad and started attacking both sides."
I could barely breathe at the intensity of Butch's stare. He was dead serious...
"But...But I have to-"
"You've already done so much...because of word of your existence, we actually have enough to stand a chance...but you can't leave Sam alone...plus It will...put my mind at ease that you're safe."
"Oh...I see, "I gave him one of my evil grin, "You were worried about me."
He was blushing as he looked away, that dummy's face was as red as a tomatoes, "No I wasn't."
"Yes you were. You looked happy to see me out there. Hugging me anmd stuff."
"I didn't see you object to the hug." He looked at me, as I jumped back, "By the way...I still have a question for you back at Asheia that I never got around to asking. He looked like he was thinking for a minute, but then he gave me this really close look, "You kissed me and Brick...which one of us is the best kisser?"
I think my brain just blown up, I felt a mixture of angry and embarrassment, and my face felt hot, I stomped, "THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO ASK ME!"
Butch wasn't phased at all by my rage, he just had his arms crossed, "It's just a simple question...which one of us...Is the better Kisser? Me? Or Brick? C'mon."
I think my heart was hammering all the way up to what was left of my brain...My face was buring like Lava...
"Xal should Kiss BB again!" Sam yelled, cheering.
"You Brat! Who's side are you on?" I yelled and she was just giggling.
"You're right, Samantha...I think I should remind her, right?" Butch half smiled at me, and winked at Sam, who just covered her eyes, giggling.
"Jerk...you're about to fight in a huge battle over the fate of Cynder and that's what you wanna know that?"
"Stall all you want, but I doubt Sam will let you leave. And I'm curious. So answer already...or..."
I can't believe this bastard, he could have asked me anything but that...why that? That Jerk...Jerk! Jerk! Jerk! I can't say him because I'll never hear the end of it...and I can't say Brick either...it's too embarrassing. I just said the first name that came into my mind.
"Fang!" I yelled. Fang, happy to hear his name, jumped into my arms, and licked me on the cheek.
"Seriously?"
"Yep...he loves me...unlike someone." I glared at him, but he just looked at me, Fang just purred while rubbing under my neck.
"Not true but...I gotta go...gotta rest up...if I can." Butch smiled at me.
"Butch...come back ok...and you'll be...number 2 ok." I smiled but I was actually afraid.
The Next Day, I was still up and people...soldiers...were leaving and horns were blowing...The Battle has begun
