AN: Usually I don't put Author's Note's at the top but I figured what the hey. Uhm… there was a point to this… oh yes, usually the story would end here since that's what I had planned (I mean chapter 13 would be the finish of the story-last chapter) but I've decided to extend it with shorter chapters and yes, CLIFFHANGERS! I'm just letting all my loyal readers (I have only three in this ENTIRE story) know that there will be more chapters! YAY! Okay, enough blabbering, read the story!
Death Moon RisingI would like to take this time to dedicate this story to someone special. She's touched my writing and has encouraged me to go places where I never would've thought possible. Like Crimson Fire, she helped me get to where I am today. Kae Noel, this one is dedicated to you!
Chapter 13: Element Energy Drain
Kat reached Alex's side within minutes, kneeling on the ground opposite Nicole and looked at Alex. "What's the matter?" She asked Nicole, urgency in her tone.
"I don't know! She just collapsed without a sound!" Nicole cried.
Kat could see tears forming in her friend's eyes. She quickly checked her friend's pulse. It was strong, and as far as Kat could see Alex had no serious injuries besides a nasty cut along the side. "Has she been using her powers?" Kat asked.
Nicole nodded, then added, "A lot."
"That explains it. She collapsed out of exhaustion. Stay with her and protect her and yourself. I'll be back," Kat instructed and then stood up. She paused and then kneeled again, taking Alex's hand into her own. She closed her eyes and focused on the link that their hands made and forcing her energy through that link into Alex's body.
Nicole watched as Kat began to glow blue and Alex green. She could sense Alex's aura becoming stronger. After a few moments Kat released Alex's hand and the glowing stopped as Kat stood up. "I gave her some of my energy, she should come around in a few minutes," she said as she turned and ran back into the battle. "Miguel, keep these two safe for a few more minutes!" She called as Miguel beat the last soldier around him. He nodded.
At least Alex's okay, she thought as she ran back into the battle. The bodies were now thick on the ground making it hard to run. Pools of blood littered the field making it wet and slippery in the patches that weren't covered. Finish the battle. Thousands have all ready died. Finish it now, the deep voice instructed. Kat recognized the voice as the voice she heard from her visions.
"Finish the battle… right. How the heck do I do that?" Kat yelled, frustrated, as something in her brain suddenly clicked. Fire-in her visions she had always been in a ring of fire. "But Alex is down, how can I make fire without her?" Kat questioned; who had stopped running and started thinking. Sure it was dangerous but she would fight when someone was threatening her.
She felt the breeze of something behind her barely missing her. She slowly turned around, in case it was an attack, her hands wielding ball of energy, and saw a sword through a Nazi who was about to hit her with his sword. "Um..." she said, watching as the sword disappeared and the man fell to the ground, dead.
"You're a very lucky girl. I just saved your ass two times," Dilandau said, stepping over the dead body and closer towards her, throwing her a sword.
Kat caught it and rolled her eyes. She was still mad at him (AN: Stubborn…). "Yeah, whatever. I don't care because I still hate your guts. But it's kind of the end of the world phase now and I can't really be busy with yelling at you. Now, I need fire, how to get it?" She said not really talking to Dilandau anymore.
That's when an idea hit her. Why didn't I think of it before? She thought. "Dilandau, I need your help," she said urgently, facing him. Instead she found that he was fending off two attacking soldiers.
"What?" He asked through gritted teeth. "Apologizing?"
"Hardly. I need you to get me to the center of this battlefield, in a hurry. Can you do that or are you busy?" She asked.
Dilandau didn't reply at first, mostly because he was busy concentrating on the two soldiers.
Kat waited a couple minutes, watching as he fended off his attacks before turning around. "Fine, I'll go myself," she huffed and started walking towards the center of the field, where the battle was thick and dangerous. "Thanks for redeeming yourself!"
"No problem!"
So the fire didn't mean I needed fire… it symbolizes the center of Gaea, which would be the center of this battlefield, she thought as she walked. She was about a mile away from where Dilandau was last seen when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Thinking it was Dilandau come to help and "redeem" himself she turned around. Does he honestly think I'll forgive him that easily? She wondered. "Oh, now you decide-" she was cut off as she turned around and felt something go through her.
Looking
down at the sword neatly imbedded in her stomach she started at it and then the
red and gold soldier as he pulled it out of her. Kat just stood there, staring at the bloodied sword with her
hands desperately clutching the wide cavity.
That was her blood on it and her blood on her hands. "Damn," was all she said before she felt
herself slipping into darkness.
AN: YES I AM EVIL!!!! **laughs insanely** My dear readers, I am (possibly) killing off KAT! Oh no! Could the Destroyer really be dead that easily? Ehehe, CLIFFHANGER! So review-the more reviews the faster this next chapter gets up! I'm holding it ransom for reviews!
