The wrath of Ashura
Fay felt paralyzed. He couldn't do anything. Only watch as Ashura would kill each and one of his friends. Those where the friends that opened up his heart for the first time, making him feel he was worth something. Making him realise it was ok to feel the pain of life, when he also could feel the joy of being with friends. He could not let that happen. However, he had no longer his magic. Magic that had been such a big part of him his whole life, was now gone. He looked into Ashuras icy eyes. They sent shivers down his spine, but he did not fall. He stood there like a statue, making every effort to look strong. Ashura started walking. Its steps were filled with power Fay knew he could not suppress. Ashura passed him, and Fay stood still. Ashura walked against his friends, and Fay stood alone. The wind still playing with his blond fluffy hair. He turned slowly against Ashura. Fay started running, closing his eyes. Then he jumped. But before his kick that would have landed in Ashuras back hit it's target, a red light surrounded it. Fay was thrown backwards as his foot hit the red barrier. Fay lay on the ground, his foot felt like it was broken to tiny bits. He tried to stand up, but could not. The pain from his foot rose to his whole body. He was paralyzed...
Ashura came back. In his arms was a boy with brown hair. Ashura walked slowly for Fay to see. And he saw. He saw Syaoran unconscious lying in the hands of Ashura. Fay felt tears coming from his eyes, and when Ashura was just meters away, he shouted:
"Let him go! Please, let Syaoran go" Fay sounded desperate and sad.
"Please he begged. Please..."
Ashura dropped Syaoran on the ground. Then lifted its hand. Then Syaoran awoke, eyes blinking rapidly.
"Fay?" said Syaoran staring surprised at the terrified friend of his.
"Ashura?" Syaoran looked at him and felt a chill.
"Run Syaoran, Ashura will kill you, RUN!" Fay looked into Syaoran eyes, begging him to escape.
Ashura lifted his hand once more, this time holding a sword. Ashura was ready to strike Syaoran and as the sword was on its way against Syaoran, Fay screamed:
"Watch out!"
Syaoran dodged the sword, and jumped away. Ashura looked pleased.
"So you intend to fight me kid. Well it would have been really fun, but sadly, I don't have time to play games. I have others to kill"
Ashura turned its head when saying those last words against Fay, enjoying seeing the fear spread across his face. Ashura lifted its hand once more, and a light appeared. Syaoran was suspended in the air, paralyzed.
"Now you die" Ashura said the words directly to Fay instead of Syaoran.
Suddenly before Ashura could do any harm to Syaoran, he moved. Syaoran moved. He was surrounded by light, and magic swirls were appearing around his body. Syaoran stretches out his hand, and a beam of light shot out of his palm and met Ashuras chest. Ashura fell backwards gasping for air. When Ashura stood up, Syaoran was ready to strike again, his palms glowing with magic.
"I know that magic. You have stolen that. From the one I want to hurt the most" Ashura said to Syaoran cold.
Suddenly Ashura send a burst of magic against Syaoran, but he was prepared. Syaoran stretched his arms out and a beam of magic shot against Ashura. The two beams of magic met, and a big bubble of magic appeared. They fought each other. The little kid and the powerful Ashura. Syaoran felt Ashuras power taking over. He knew he was going to lose. He had Fay-sans power, but he didn't know how to use it. Then a black shadow appeared from above. A sword could be seen for a second, and then the magic was broken.
Kurogane held his sword with both hands, and swinged it against Ashura. Ashura took the hit, and fell on the ground once more. Kurogane was standing over Ashura ready to strike, but then he froze. He stared at Fay, and Fay stared back. It was Fay's battle. He had no right killing Ashura. As it was his battle to revenge his mother's death. Kurogane walked away. Ashura was lying on the ground hurt. Fay realized he could move again. Ashuras magic was broken. He went to stand over Ashura. Fay saw Kuroganes sword laying on the ground. He picked it up. He held it like Kurogane. With both hands. Then he slowly pressed the sword against Ashura.
Ashura gasped, as life left. Ashura felt cold and empty. Ashura knew it was dying. Fay looked at him and he looked back. They looked at each other.
"I couldn't let you kill them" Fay whispered.
"I know you couldn't" said Ashura blood dripping from his mouth.
"I didn't want this to happen" said Fay in a low voice.
"Me neither" said Ashura before his eyes darkened.
