Chapter Fourteen: Nereid the Water Goddess
After chasing after Kitty, Wanda and Pietro arrived at an old ruin. It was a very large white building with a large angel statue standing straight and tall with her fist below her neck. The angel reminded Pietro of Kitty. Wanda looked at him for a moment before she entered the ruins.
"Pietro, come on. If we don't hurry."
Pietro shook his head and followed Wanda inside.
~Inside Lunatic Garden~
"This place is creepy."
Wanda rubbed her arms with her hands as Pietro scanned the area. The walls were white bricks with vines hanging and stuck onto the old bricks. He saw an open door ahead of them and headed for it. Wanda quickly followed behind him.
As they walked down the hall, Wanda decided to start a conversation with her ignorant brother.
"Pietro?"
"Hmm?" his voice sounded irritated.
"Why do you love Kitty so much?"
Pietro glanced over to her. "Why?"
"Yeah.why?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"Just because."
Silence.
"She's not like all your other girlfriends."
"They weren't my girlfriends."
"Then what were they?"
"Just a bunch of fans." Pietro sighed and continued on. "I love Kitty because she's caring, hot, adorable, sweet, she can sing.unlike the others, and she doesn't just give me pleasure like the other ones. They think I'm some perverted guy that wants anything a woman has. But,"
"You're not like that?"
Pietro glanced over to Wanda once more. "Yeah."
Finally, they arrived out of the hall and ended up in a large room. Almost like an altar. Pietro looked around and saw a large platform on the altar. As Wanda started for the platform, Pietro stopped her in her tracks. A sinking feeling struck him hard.
"Wanda, I want you to wait at the entrance."
She glared at him evilly. "I followed you all the way here and I have to wait now?"
"Please?"
After a couple more seconds of glaring, Wanda left to the entrance. Pietro dashed up to the platform. When he stepped onto the platform, it started moving down. The more it dropped, the darker it got. Suddenly, a familiar voice was echoing around the tunnel.
"Maybe when I see, the sweet morning light.I will find my way, to my true love."
Pietro's eye widened. "She's.singing?"
"And when I find my, true love.that glimmering light will most likely fade."
"Kitty.?"
"Please tell me now, will my heart fade away? With that glimmering light, we all call hope?"
"I'm coming."
"I'll be right here. Waiting for you to come."
"Kitty. please."
"I promise I'll here, just look for me."
Then the voice slowly began to fade. Pietro froze for a moment, trying to listen to the voice.
"Sweet, sweet morning light. Sweet morning light."
Without thinking, Pietro ran over through the hall quickly, trying to find the sweet voice of his Kitty.
"Kitty!! Wait!!"
"Pietro. I promise. I'll be here. I'll be waiting for you."
Finally, Pietro stopped when he arrived in a large cold room. He scanned the area and saw Kitty, high above the staircase in front of a statue. The statue was a beautiful woman with flowing hair, a rippling dress, as if the wind was blowing rapidly. He moved a bit closer, and saw that Kitty's eyes weren't that glowing color anymore. Although, her sweet innocent green bluish eyes were faded.
"Kitty.?"
Kitty turned around slightly, resting her chin on her shoulder.
"Pietro."
He walked up the steps, desiring to hold Kitty in his arms. Pietro finally reached the middle of the stairway, Kitty began to whisper.
"The door will open."
Pietro looked at her strangely. "Hmm?"
"The door will open."
Suddenly, the bottom of the statue opened up, making Kitty walk inside. Pietro dashed up, getting in several struggles.
Inside the statue was another area like the one before except it was outside. The night sky was flourished with stars that twinkled endlessly. Kitty walked up to an altar with the same exact statute as the one before. Although, there was something different about it. This time, the statue had a door behind it as it held a large slate. Kitty traced her cold fingers along the words, reading them off as she went.
"Even though my tears pass, you will never come back. The ocean seas hold the wrath of the gods, one which cannot break. As I hold the key, instead of the wrath a god can hold, I hold the wrath of Nereid."
As Kitty reached her hand up, Pietro dashed up to get her until she shoved him away. Pietro was shocked for moment until Kitty grabbed something glowing in the statue's hand. Pietro's eyes widened as Kitty walked to the sealed door. Instead of trying to take her right now, Pietro followed Kitty inside the other door.
Kitty stood on the large platform ahead of Pietro, behind a large statue, same as the other two statues. He decided to take her, he couldn't follow anymore. The deeper they went, the colder and scarier it got.
"Kitty, please. Let's go. We have to take the teardrop back."
Kitty shook her head slowly as someone appeared from the shadows. Pietro lashed to the left and saw Magneto walking slowly to the statue.
"I see you found the actual teardrop." Magneto turned to Kitty and reached his hand out to her. "Shadowcat, give me the teardrop."
Suddenly, Kitty raised her hand to him. A burst of wind shot out, blowing him to the wall unconscious. When her hair finally settled, Kitty placed the teardrop in the statue's hands. Then Pietro got a sudden chill up his spine. Something was bound to happen. A quick glow was surrounding the statue. Then a woman appeared. She had long brown hair that reached the ground with stunning red eyes that sent chills. The woman raised her hand to Kitty.
"You are no longer as use for me."
Suddenly, Kitty blinked. Ridding the fade in her eyes. As she collapsed, Pietro quickly grabbed her and lifted her up.
"Hmm.I see. She reminds me a lot of my past." She whispered.
"Who are you!? What.are you?" shouted Pietro, trying to calm down.
The woman smiled. "I am Nereid, the priestess to these ruins. Some might have known me as the lonely maiden that waited for her love to return. But, that doesn't matter now. I'm sure you'd like to know what is happening here."
Pietro nodded.
"Kitty is related to me, like what your foolish friend said. I used her as my guide, back to the teardrop." Nereid looked over to Magneto evilly. "Although your father decided to use my power, not the way I wanted. Using you as my guide was a waste. Kitty was the only key to my resurrection."
"Resurrection?"
"Yes, but I see you plan to stop me. And I believe you know exactly what I'm going to do?"
"You're not going to kill her.are you?"
Nereid giggled a bit and snatched Kitty away from Pietro's arms.
"When I want to be resurrected, I need a body to use. To possess for the time being until their soul is diminished."
Suddenly, the woman and Kitty glowed making Pietro block. When he moved his arms down, there was no sign of Nereid. Just Kitty. But she had the same red eyes as Nereid. "What did you do to her Nereid!?"
"Pathetic fool. You think you can stop me? I too, am a mutant."
As Kitty walked around slowly, she raised her hand, releasing water from her hands. Pietro dodged the blasts and immediately ran into something. He looked up and saw Lance, Rogue, Wanda, and Evan ready to fight. "What the hell are you guys doing here for?!"
Evan gave him a dumb look. "We're here to help you!"
Suddenly, another blast of water made them separate. Pietro dashed around Kitty as Lance set off his usual earthquakes. Kitty let out a loud cackle and backed away from them. "You think you can stop me?!" To everyone's surprise, a tidal wave came from behind Kitty and struck them all to the wall. Rogue lifted her hair from her cheeks and squeezed the water out. "This girl is gettin' on my nerves." Suddenly, Wanda shot out towards her and snatched the teardrop from the statue. Kitty cackled again at Wanda. "Releasing the teardrop won't help you or Kitty!" Wanda shoved the teardrop in Rogue's gloved hands. Rogue looked at Wanda as she seemed serious.
"What duh yuh want meh to do wit it!? Ah'm gonna get killed if yuh
don't take it away from meh!!" Wanda shook her head and looked to Lance, Evan, and Pietro who were fighting Kitty.
"Look Rogue, you're probably our best bet to getting rid of this Nereid lady. I want you to touch the teardrop and use its power against her."
Rogue looked to Kitty. "But, whut if Ah kill her.?"
Wanda removed a glove from Rogue and made her touch the teardrop. From the stunning power of the teardrop, as Rogue was taking its power, Wanda began to fight again. When Rogue was finished taking the gem's power, she felt this sick feeling inside her stomach. She placed her hand to her forehead and started to breathe calmly. Quickly, Rogue raised her hands up, trying not to shake. Kitty turned to Rogue with her eyes widened. "What are you doing!?" she screamed. Rogue winced a bit. "Whut do yuh think Ah'm doin'?!" Suddenly, a wave of water came to Kitty, knocking her to the ground. When the water disappeared, she looked at everyone and snickered a bit. "Yuh all look like drowned rats!" Then all of the attention moved back to Kitty. But instead, Kitty's eyes changed to a silver clouded color as Nereid stood behind her. "You all seem very strong for a bunch of beginners. I will have to use the girl as a shield." Wanda gritted her teeth. "No wonder your love never came back!! You're just some inhumane bitch!" Nereid glared at Wanda furiously. "Would like to see my true power.Wanda Maximoff?" Wanda's eyes widened. (How does she know?) Suddenly, Wanda felt a piercing pain in her head, causing her to scream loudly. Pietro shook his head.
"Wanda!! What are you doing!?"
Wanda winced and cringed painfully. "I don't know!! She's doing something to me!!"
Nereid laughed and shook her head in disappointment.
"I see you have a very dark past Scarlet Witch. Tsk tsk, it's hard to believe that you've survived all that."
Nereid turned to Rogue as she stepped back in fear.
"Nuh uh! Some crazy sea witch ain't gonna read my--- NO!! Get out of my head!!"
Nereid shook her head again in disappointment.
"Marie. Hmm, strange. Adopted by Raven Darkholme, step-brother is Kurt Wagner."
Nereid turned to Pietro. She eyed him for a moment then grinned.
"Ahh, Eric's son. Pietro Maximoff. Hmm, you do love Kitty more than I thought. Foolish. It won't be necessary when she's gone."
Lance started a tremor. "Stop it!!!"
Suddenly, when Rogue snapped out of her fear state, she ran over to Lance and placed his hands down.
"No! Don't do that!! Look!!"
Rogue pointed to Kitty then to Nereid. Kitty was slowly getting up for the ground as Nereid stood calmly. Lance's eyes widened. "What's happening?"
Nereid began to read Lance's thoughts. "Lance Alvers, killed your parents hmm? Like Kitty, you should be of some use to me." Suddenly, Rogue sent out another blast of water at Nereid, until Kitty stepped in the way. Rogue gasped and stopped for a moment. Nereid gave out another laugh. "Hah! None of you can stop me!! I shall put Kitty and my powers to good use and get rid of all of you!!" Nereid and Kitty both raised their hands as their hair flew rapidly. Slowly, they both lower the hands straight ahead of them releasing a tidal wave, knocking everyone to the ground. For some reason, the young mutants felt weakened.
Wanda struggled to get up but fell back down. (She's too powerful. It's no use.)
Rogue closed her eyes, trying to rid her tears. (It's all ova. She's gonna kill us and Kitty. Ah'm so sorry Kitty. Ah let yuh down.)
Evan's muscles tightened, making every move painful. (I'm still alive. How.when is the end coming?)
Lance laid on the ground, staring at Kitty's red eyes. (Nereid is such a bitch.)
Pietro tried to move but the pain forced him back down. He looked up at Kitty innocently. (Heh, everything's all ending here huh? At least Kitty will be alright for now.)
As everyone started to weaken and go unconscious, Nereid looked at them. She could tell what they were all thinking. Then, a grin crept upon her face.
"No longer will you be use to me Shadowcat."
After a wave of Nereid's hand, Kitty blinked, making her eyes normal. She looked around and saw her friends laying on the ground, motionless. She lashed around to Nereid.
"What did you do to them!? I heard the whole thing!! What did you do!!?"
"Me? What I did was your doing Kitty Pryde. Now, for me to be truly resurrected, I will need a sacrifice."
Bad Nereid!! Terrible Nereid!! Evil isn't she!? I must continue on so reviews please!!
