Let me get to the two people who mean the most to me in this world of writing!
chyp: Leprechauns and giants, you're crazy, chyp! But I'll see what I can do and let you know when I got somethin' I think we both might like. But probably not until my second season…
Raya X: I knew I wouldn't be able to fool you! You can just see right through me! Actually, I never looked at the spell backfiring because of that, but it makes a lot of sense, so that's all that matters! And I, too, hope that all of the arguing is over with, after going through everything that they have…
James and Wesley ran outside to face Invision, but when they walked out, nobody was around. They frantically looked around for him, but he was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, Invision came from out of nowhere and kicked James with both of his feet. The force of the blow knocked James clear across the front yard and onto the street. Invision turned his attention to Wesley. As he slowly advanced, Wesley moved slowly back into the house, hoping for some kind of home field advantage.
Invision thrust his arm out, releasing a stream of black energy that flew directly towards Wesley. Wesley panicked and flicked his hands, instinctively trying to stop time. Instead, he tapped into James' telekinesis and the blackness diverted itself and hit the television, instantly disintegrating it. Wesley looked at the spot where the television had been and realized that he was in real trouble. Without either Matthew or James to help him, he had nowhere else to go.
He boldly decided to fend for himself. He powerfully gestured with his hands. Invision used his power of deflection, but the recoil forced him back ten feet. He landed on his back. Meanwhile, Wesley gathered all the strength he had left in him and withstood the power of Invision's deflection. He stumbled back a couple of feet, but otherwise he managed to stay upright. He looked around for something to throw and saw the athame that John had given them. He picked it up and cautiously started outside to find Invision.
As he exited the house, he saw Invision brushing himself off as he picked himself up from the floor. He didn't want to give his enemy any more time to recover, so he threw the dagger as hard as he could. Invision saw it coming and was about to dodge it when he found that he couldn't move away. James had crept behind him and pinned him in place. The athame penetrated Invision's shoulder and traveled right through him, exiting through his back. James threw him down as he yelled in agony.
"That was close," James said to Wesley. "You almost hit me with that thing."
"Next time," Wesley said, "let a brother know where you are."
"I'll put in on the top of my list of things to do," James replied dryly. "Where's Matt already?"
"I don't know," Wesley said, "but you need to get out the way!"
James abruptly turned around to see Invision standing up, about to strike. Before he could hit James, James turned transparent and Invision's blow traveled right through him. James quickly countered with a punch that sent Invision back to the ground.
"Looks like you're really getting the hang of those new powers," Wesley commented.
"They still suck," James said as he dodged another of Invision's punch attempts.
"Get over yourself," Wesley said.
While James engaged Invision in combat, Wesley gathered himself and brought his hands up. He succeeded in using telekinesis and hurled Invision against a wall. Except, this time James was holding on to the enemy, so he was also thrown. Luckily, Invision had absorbed most, if not all, of the impact. James hastily rolled away from a stunned Invision, rubbing his back.
Upstairs, Matthew struggled to come up with the right words to compose an effective vanquishing potion. He looked around him, noticing all of the animals that seemed to have made their way upstairs. His attention was constantly divided as he could hear loud crashes below, indicating that his brothers may or may not have been faring well with Invision. Everything was just coming together to stress him even more. And in addition to this, he knew that neither he nor his brothers had their own powers to work with, which put all three of them in more danger.
"C'mon," he said to himself, looking into space, "think! What rhymes with 'dark?' There's 'bark,' 'park,' 'embark,' 'mark,' that's a good one! 'Mark!'"
He scribbled something down on a piece of paper, then looked back into space, hoping that more inspiration would quickly come so he could finish the spell.
Neither side seemed to be winning the fight as the battle continued. However, James and Wesley were becoming wearier by the minute, while Invision looked to be fine. James and Wesley had turned to being completely defensive now, devoting most of their time to dodging attacks instead of launching them.
"Where the hell is Matt?" Wesley shouted deliberately so that Matthew might hear. "Doesn't he know that we're still down here?"
"Hold on!" Matthew's voice replied from upstairs.
"We need some help," Wesley said to his brother. "Things aren't looking too good, even with our new found luck."
As if on cue, a ball of fire appeared from nowhere and struck Invision in the back, sending him crashing into the wall. James and Wesley almost broke their necks to trace the source of the attack, but they couldn't find anyone else in the house.
"Matt?" James asked Wesley.
"Or Lina," Wesley replied.
Invision peeled himself from the wall, leaving a large crater. He looked to the place the fireball came from and scowled. He knew who had cast it. Suddenly, he began flapping his wings vigorously, not at Wesley and James, but in some unspecified direction. Chairs began moving, papers and books started flying through the air, and both large and small pieces of debris lifted themselves from the ground and sailed through the air. Suddenly, Lina appeared in a cloud of smoke. She had been invisible, but the power of Invision's wings forced her to reappear. James looked at her with a peculiar expression. It was one of anger, betrayal, and compassion. Wesley only looked at James, somewhat afraid of what was going to happen. Then both he and James glowed for a brief second.
"What was that?" Wesley uttered to James.
"I don't know," James answered, then turning to Lina. "How could you? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I told you not to mess with me ever again!" Invision shouted at Lina, who looked torn between having to answer to James and having to deal with Invision.
"I got it!" Matthew said triumphantly, running downstairs to join his brothers. "I fixed our powers and I wrote a…oh…"
Upon seeing Lina, Matthew became speechless. Of course he had been told about her, but this was the first time he had seen both her and James in the same room since then. He, like Wesley, was somewhat afraid of what was going to happen.
They all stood there, Invision, Lina, and the Complete. Each looked at the others as if they were in a western-style showdown. Nobody did anything; they just stood there and glared at each other for a long while. A single four-leaf clover blew through the doorway and made its way across the living room where the three parties were situated. That was when everything happened.
Oh boy! I love these showdown-type fights! But there are three parties involved…two and a half really since Lina doesn't actually count, but who knows? What's gonna happen in this fight? Will Invision succeed? Will the brothers succeed? Will Lina step in and succeed? Stay tuned, 'cuz I'm finally nearing the end of this story!
