Chapter Six: Mother and Son
"Don't you dare touch me, weirdo!" Jackie screamed and whacked him with her bow.
The Serpent got angry and hissed dangerously at the young guardians.
"Guardians!" Matt cried, "Brace yourselves!"
As the creature lunged forward, the guardians unleashed their attacks at the powerful creature.
"Energy Blast!"
"Flamethrower!"
"Hydro Pump!"
"Razor Leaf!"
"Silver Wind!"
These five attacks collided and hit the creature, blinding it.
"Gaaaah!" the Serpent hissed, "I can't see! Where are you deviling guardians?"
"Don't get near them!" Barbara cried, with balls of light and energy floating above her hands, "I know you're working for Hacker and the Dark Side! So don't get near them! Especially my son!"
"So," the Serpent hissed, "The leader of the past Guardians of Cyberspace passed on the tradition! How adorable! Unfourtuantly, I'm afraid I'll have to finish them off on my masters' comands."
"Don't get near them!" Barbara repeated angrily, "Energy Blast!"
Barbara shot the balls of energy at the monster, blinding him even more, but also weakening it.
"Gah!" the Serpent hissed angrily, "Stop it, Guardian! Now!"
"Never!" Barbara cried, still shooting the balls of energy.
Matt's eyes narrowed with anger. He set his Crystal to Sword mode and cried out as the Sword sparkled white, "Acquired Skill! Tiger Blade!"
In a slash of the crystal sword, the spirit of a tiger roaring shot out of the blade, attacking the monster.
The Serpent hissed in angst and pain.
"Matt!" Barbara cried, "You acquired a skill!"
"Leave the rest to me, mom!" Matt answered with a smile. Then got serious as he faced off the serpent, "Take this, snake breath! Acquired Skill! Poisen Injection!"
Matt jumped, and thrust his sparkling blade into the monster, injecting Poisen from the four elements into the monster, weakening the dark by injecting the light.
"Poisen Injection..." Barbara thought out load, staring at her son, the new Guardian of Cyberspace's leader. What she used to be when she was his age.
Then, Barbara began to feel light-headed. Her legs felt numb, and she lost the feeling of her blood circulation. She fell to the ground, only half concious.
"You're finished!" Matt cried, as he pulled out the sword out of the disappearing serpent. Then he noticed his mother on the floor.
"Mom!" Matt cried, and fell to her aid.
"Matt..." Barbara said weakly, yet proudly, "I'm so proud of you...you showed me that you are ready for this challenge...and I'm not talking about battling demons from the Under World, or defeating Hacker, but letting someone you love the most go..."
"Mom! Please!" Matt sobbed, "Don't go!"
"Make me proud..." And in an instant, Barbara turned into nothing but CyberData that disappeared into the unclosed portal to Cyberspace.
"Matt, please!" Jackie begged, "Don't cry! She went to Cyberspace, you'll see her again."
"Uhhhh..." Slider turned himself away from his fellow guardians.
"Slider," Inez asked sternly, "What are you hiding?"
"Matt will feel bad if I tell..." Slider answered.
"Then tell me." Inez said.
Slider whispered in Inez's ear, "Matt won't be able to see his mother again. Not even in Cyberspace. She's an angel, and a legend now. She no longer exists in both worlds."
Inez gasped when she heard it.
"We got to tell him!" Inez snapped quietly.
But Matt heard.
"Tell me what?" Matt demanded, almost crying.
"Uh," Slider began.
"You're mother..." Inez coughed, "You won't be able to see her again. She's an angel now. But, she's also a legend. But also, she no longer exists in both worlds."
"What?" Matt cried, now only one breath away from tears.
"I'm sorry, but," Slider said, "It's true."
Matt felt the tears suffice from his eyes.
"Matt, calm down..." Jackie said reassuringly.
"No! I won't!" Matt sobbed and yelled at the same time.
"Matt!" Jackie said more sternly.
"Leave me alone!" Matt cried, "Go home! Go home! I need time alone!"
Heartbreaking for Matt...I agree. Now, Matt will have to fight Hacker and The World of The Down Under to save the world, but also avenge his mom! So, until later, see ya! ;-)
