And there I saw the third of the seven. Who herself had been struck down by the great evil, and had done many things for the lesser. She would be the Earth, and work with the seas.
I only own Vella and the plot.
Here's the story, normal POV.
"Thanks, I'll be more than happy to take you membership," Jeremy yelled preparing for his attack. He was going to destroy him. He was going to do more than kill X.A.N.A. So the bond was forever created. Only one of them would live, no matter what it took.
"Being rash like usual hmm. Isn't that how Aelita died," X.A.N.A. scoffed firing a beam of energy at his opposition. Jeremy of course dodged, and towering up into the air shot his own blast. X.A.N.A. decided not to dodge, but take the attack head on. The attack hit blowing the entire area up. When the smoke cleared X.A.N.A. was unharmed in a bauble of black magic. "Bad move," X.A.N.A. stated rocketing up to Jeremy's level. X.A.N.A. rammed Jeremy but Jeremy managed to force him off before X.A.N.A. could throw him to the ground.
"Still up for that game," Jeremy declared beginning a sword fight with X.A.N.A. "Bishop to B6."
"Knight to C4."
"Pawn to H5."
"Pawn to H4."
"Knight to E7."
"Knight to E4."
"Bishop to F4."
"Knight to D6."
"Pawn takes the Knight," Jeremy yelled taking out one of X.A.N.A.'s two swords.
"Ah but Knight takes the Pawn," X.A.N.A. stated calmly knocking out one of Jeremy's swords. "And that my dear boy is check."
"King to D8."
"Knight to F6," X.A.N.A. yelled taking out Jeremy's other sword. "And that my dear boy, is also check. Jeremy gasped. He was now completely unarmed.
"King to E8," Jeremy yelled backing up in the air. X.A.N.A. pursued him blade in hand.
"Knight takes the rook," X.A.N.A. laughed slashing Jeremy across the chest. Not being able to stay airborne he fell down onto the metal ship. "And now I'll take you," X.A.N.A. hollered powering up another dark blast. This one however spread out covering the entire ship. There was no way that Jeremy had any chance of dodging it. The blasts hit the hull creating a huge smokescreen. When it cleared Jeremy was lying on his back covering himself with a dark shield.
"Sweet. . . how'd I do that," Jeremy asked looking at his hands. X.A.N.A., with his remaining sword, came down and began to slash at Jeremy's shield. However the shield refused to break and eventually Jeremy decided to expand it, thus knocking X.A.N.A. back.
"You haven't won yet," X.A.N.A. mocked dropping his blade. He replaced it with what seemed to be a staff. "I actually haven't even begun to fight."
"Neither have I," Jeremy responded still trying to stop his cut from bleeding. Still, Jeremy had enough energy to create his own staff. They again started to do battle with their weapons. Though Jeremy may have seemed to be winning due to the fact that X.A.N.A. was constantly being forced back, X.A.N.A. still had a trick up his really, really long sleeve.
"Tell me Jeremy, do you know this trick," X.A.N.A. asked getting both his and Jeremy's staff lined up in a cross formation. He created a small electrical bond between the two that would end up causing his staff to spin around Jeremy's and eventually come back to his side. To avoid his own attack X.A.N.A. ducked as the cluster of attacks begun. Then he quickly moved back as Jeremy got hit constantly by X.A.N.A.'s attack. "Enjoy," X.A.N.A. ridiculed.
"How. . . did. . . you. . .," Jeremy struggled to say getting hit over and over again by the spinning staff. It didn't take too long for X.A.N.A.'s staff to return to him. When X.A.N.A. did retrieve his staff he turned it a brilliant black and threw the whole staff at Jeremy. The staff hit Jeremy knocking him back and piercing his chest. Fortunately, the staff missed any and all organs. X.A.N.A. knew that if the vessel died prematurely then he would cease to be. Not only would he cease to be but so would all of time.
"Like it," X.A.N.A. said creating a fiery glow around his entire body. Jeremy knew what was happening. X.A.N.A. was going in for the kill. Jeremy knew that this could not happen. It just couldn't.
Use your hate, your rage, your fury.
I need more power.
No you don't. One blow wins the fight. You don't need to be winning, you just have to win.
How?
Kill X.A.N.A., finish him off forever.
Forever.
"Prepare to die," X.A.N.A. yelled rushing at Jeremy. Jeremy, still weakly holding his staff, dodged X.A.N.A.'s flaming mass. Generating enough energy he gave the staff enough magic to terminate X.A.N.A. Jeremy whirled around, sliding along X.A.N.A.'s outer fires and then with X.A.N.A.'s back to his front he stuck the staff into X.A.N.A.'s body, right through his tainted heart.
"Bishop to G3," Jeremy yelled pulling the staff out. "Checkmate." X.A.N.A. gasped at what had just happened. He fell to his knees clutching the wound Jeremy had just created.
"You are truly me. Eh, I may have seemed to lost. But I have, in reality, won," X.A.N.A. said falling to the floor. His form changed back into what would scar Jeremy, and in a minor area all of the spectators, other than the three demons, who had all vanished. He turned back into Jeremy. With every single detail. Jeremy knew the message, and he knew that X.A.N.A. couldn't fake this if he was dead.
"I am not you," Jeremy screamed his body beginning to consume itself in flames. I am not you and I never will be," Jeremy shouted creating a wave of fire that melted the chains of the other captives. A bright light sped of the ship ascending up into the sky. That light was Jeremy.
You are X.A.N.A., there is no more denying it. You know what you must do.
Why me?
Fate works in odd ways young one.
Why me?
You were chosen, this was your destiny.
WHY ME!
You can never know that, no one not even I can ever know that. You do not question fate. You except it.
And all that time another white light slowly fell from the heaven's. To strike the Earth. So was the fate of Souzen's comet.
That was the last time you'll see Jeremy in this story. The last two chapters tie up those trillion loose ends that happened in the story. So remember to review. I know you can get that sneak preview.
