Chapter 15: Final Confrontation
"Do what you have to."-Mobious the Time Streamer, Soul Reaver 2
Knuckles' body twitched. The motion repeated itself several times before he rose.
"I'm……an echidna again………Amastad……" A searing pain ran threw him. It would not cease. He wished he had stayed dead.
Shortly after, Tails and the others began their return to life in their original forms.
"What….I could have sworn…….." Said Tails, confused.
"He took our gift." Said Shadow. "We're even weaker than we were as fledglings."
Rouge looked around. "Damn. Then I suppose there's not much we can do to find Elexis."
"Definitely not." Said Knuckles.
"Now what?" Asked Tails.
"I don't know…"
"Let us not confront each other here. We will leave the Temple in ruins." Said Elexis. A burst of light emitted from her. Calypso, Robotnik, and herself were transported to the city where Shadow and the rest were.
"ELEXIS!!!" Shouted Robotnik.
"Don't do that….I've known you were there when I went in Temple, Robotnik." Said Elexis.
Robotnik went over to greet the others.
"What? What happened to you?" He said.
"Some vampire named Amastad." Said Rouge. "He took our powers away. We refused to tell him where Elexis was!"
"AMASTAD?!" Said Elexis.
"Yes."
Elexis put her hand on her head and sighed.
"No." She murmured.
Calypso smirked.
"What? Who is Amastad?" Said Robotnik.
"My most trusted servant." Said Calypso. "He found Elexis' soul so I could bound her."
"How did he survive the extinction?" Asked Tails.
Elexis ignored the comment and went for Calypso. She slashed her throat. But she did not die. Her wound quickly recovered. Calypso retaliated by kicking her about five feet. Elexis immediately stood back up, giving Calypso no time to explain Amastad. Elexis punched her harshly. Calypso fell back.
Amastad returned.
"So here I find you, Elexis. And you, my Lord." He said.
"Anyway," Began Calypso. "Before I was so RUDELY interrupted, 7000 years ago, my gift of prophecy told me that a soul would come who would be unsinkable. A soul with powers and determination beyond any of us. Now, with the humans slaughtering our kind, I immediately seized that soul and created a weapon to wipe them out. See, with the destruction of humans, I would raise to complete power. Not that stupid conquer the world bullsh*t, but in a much more….realistic way. And now, little Elexis has expired, and she must return to where she came from. Of course, Amastad fetched the soul for me. The reason I did not do it was simply because the vampires wouldn't allow me to. They thought they couldn't afford to lose me as a prophet, so Amastad here took my place in retrieving the soul."
Amastad approached Robotnik.
"Your one of them, aren't you? You're no REAL vampire. You are a mere fledgling."
"GET OUT OF HERE! ALL OF YOU!" Commanded Elexis.
Robotnik turned and ran, along with the others. At that time, Amastad was ready to kill. And he almost succeeded, but Elexis had warned them only milliseconds ahead of time. They ran behind a building.
"Amastad, don't go after them, they're not worth it." Said Calypso. "This one, however, is the REAL danger."
"So…you can't face me by yourself? You must have one of you're lackeys help you?" Elexis said.
The others peered around the corner of the building. They had to watch this most crucial battle.
"Hmph. Very well. Amastad, stand aside. And if I should lose, be sure to submit yourself. Otherwise, she will kill you as well."
Elexis got it started. She dove for Calypso and inflicted devastating wounds. Calypso was no weakling, so she actually managed to pick Elexis up and throw her down on the pavement.
Elexis got back up and kicked Calypso in the stomach. She stood on it.
"Submit." Elexis said.
Calypso gave an evil grin. She raised her hand. Without Elexis summoning it, the blade that was attached to her appeared and began to pull away, toward Calypso.
Calypso grabbed it.
"NO!" Said Elexis, "What sorcery are you using? Stop this at once!"
"Your time is up, Elexis."
"No….never."
Elexis pulled harshly away, barley succeeding. She stood straight as Calypso picked herself up.
"I am the only one who knows how to kill you." Said Calypso.
Elexis kept a defiant look upon her face.
"I see why they called you the unsinkable soul. But now is the time to sink."
"SHUT UP!" Shouted Elexis as she again attacked Calypso. This time, Elexis smashed her threw the wall of a building nearby.
"I know you can do better than that." Said Calypso, getting to her feet.
Elexis was furious. She could barley contain the rage. Her life had been a game to Calypso. A joke. She took Calypso by the throat and threw her to the ground, causing an indentation of about six feet in the ground.
Elexis held the blade to her throat.
"Go ahead," Said Calypso. "Do it."
Elexis held the blade high in the air, and slammed it down threw Calypso's stomach as hard as she could. The blade actually went threw Calypso and into the ground.
Blood.
Calypso had a smirk on her face.
In her dying moments, she reached for the blade, snatched it, and appeared to be trying to break it.
"NO!" Said Elexis, furiously pulling away.
"Heheh. DIE." Calypso said.
She broke the blade in half. This was not easy, considering the blade could easily break a stone wall.
This task accomplished, Calypso died.
Elexis fell to the harsh pavement. Blood poured from her mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and stomach. She groaned in the agony. She fell into her own pool of blood.
"MOTHER!!!!!!!!" Screamed Robotnik, running after her, the others not far behind, not even noticing the pool of blood their were walking in.
"Don't die," He cried. "Don't leave me."
She said nothing.
They all bent down beside her, excluding Amastad, who simply walked toward them.
"Damn you, Calypso." Uttered Shadow.
"Amastad…" Said Knuckles. "DIE!" Knuckles tried to punch him. Amastad moved out of the way.
"Need I remind you who just died? Elexis, the unsinkable soul, if she can overcome Calypso, she can overcome death."
"You mean….she'll come back?" Asked Tails.
"No guarantees. Calypso never told me anything encircling the events of Elexis' death."
Robotnik cried. "F%$K! WAKE UP!" He pounded the ground.
"Calm down," Said Amastad. "We must leave her body here, if there is any hope for her to be resurrected."
"I can't leave." Said Robotnik.
"You must."
Amastad picked Robotnik up.
"Now, go with your people. I return to the Temple."
"But…Robotnik is still a vampire." Said Shadow, tears.
"He is a fledgling. I carry no responsibility for him. Go."
Amastad lifted his great, black wings and set off.
Shadow and the others starred at Elexis.
"Elexis…" Robotnik sighed. The rest of the part began to mourn.
"Lets go." Said Knuckles.
They slowly made their way back to Sonic's home.
In the flicker of the wind…..Elexis' finger twitched………
THE END.
Yep. That's it. For real. However, I'm already flooded with ideas for a second book. Let me know.
