Chapter 7: Pink Trauma
As Barak floated down, he had his sadistic smile on his face as he approached Blossom. She struggled on trying to sit up, especially with only her left wrist working. He landed on the ground and walked slowly to her. He stopped right at her feet and looked down on her with that smile. It took a few minutes, but Blossom finally sat up clutching her right wrist. She looked up at him with disdain and gritted teeth. "Oh Blossom, you, okay? Let me give you a hand," he said as he reached left his hand down to her. She looked at his hand and smacked it away, his smile grew bigger while he grabbed her hair with the hand she swatted away.
"Agh!" Blossom yelped as she grabbed his hand trying to get out of his grip. Barak lifted her off the ground, her feet off the ground with her legs kicking him having no effect.
"Come on," he said which caused her to look him in the eyes, "Let's have some FUN!" He threw her high up the air. He flew after her and repeatedly struck her at blinding speed. Blossom couldn't keep track of how fast she was moving, only that his punches hurt. Right hook, left hook, right uppercut, left jab. Over and over. Barak flew above Blossom as she twirled in the air. He dived down, did a 360 flip and axe kicked her in the back. She went plummeting down to the ground, creating a crater and uneveing the surrounding area. Some small explosions were heard echoing through the city.
The smoke started to clear, and it showed her face down in the crater. The street and sidewalk were ruined. The cars around the area were either upturned or destroyed. She was covered in bruises, scraps, cuts and blood. She twitched her left hand and struggled to raise it up. "Shit..." she muttered and tried to raise herself up. She heard what sounded like something falling out of the sky and the next thing she knew; Barak had landed on her back hard.
"AAAAGGGGHHHHH!" Blossom screamed in pain. He jumped up and landed on her again but harder. She screamed in pain again. He continued to bounce on her like a trampoline for about 10 times. When he stopped, the crater and the surrounding area was even more damaged. It looked like an earthquake hit Tokyo City. He stepped off her back, leaving footprints on her back. He kneeled and grabbed her hair again. He pulled and lifted her head out of the ground.
Her face was covered in bruises with blood dripping from her forehead. Her eyes were glossed over, looking like she's about to cry. "Don't you look beautiful?" Barak said as he slammed her head down into the ground. He picked her head up and slammed it into the ground again another 10 times as well. He heard muffled crying and lifted her head up. Blossom had much more blood pouring from her forehead. Blood flowed over her left eye and her right eye was swollen shut. Her nose was broken she was crying.
"Please," she muttered. He moved his head closer to hear. "Please... leave Tokyo City... alone. We... will... stop you."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" He laughed and laughed and laughed. "Sorry, but I love seeing that beaten and bruised face. It does WONDERS FOR ME!" He stood up and threw her out of the crater. She tumbled across the ground and stopped, facing up toward the sky. Her vision was blurry, and she felt herself starting to lose consciousness. She slowly raised her head up and saw Barak walk out of the crater, lightning flowing around him.
Blossom let her head fall to the ground. She closed her good eye. She heard his footsteps coming closer. She could hear her heart pounding out of her chest. She was breathing heavily from her mouth since her nose was closed off. The footsteps stopped and when she opened her eye, he was standing over. He had his sadistic smile and lighting was flowing more concentrated around his hands. He balled his fights and punched her in the stomach.
"GAAAUGHH" She screamed while spitting blood. I... I can feel my body... shutting down, she thought as he punched her again in the stomach. Then, he punched her in the face, then once again in her stomach. With each punch, a burst of electricity is sent outwards. Each blow sending her further into the ground. Blood splattering on to his face, her PPGZ outfit, his clothes, and the ground. He cocked back his right fist, charging the electricity into it. He swung and punched her in the face, causing a massive explosive burst of electricity. The ground shaking in the process, surrounding buildings started to tumble and the cars that were undamaged exploded.
When Barak looked down at his handiwork, that sadistic smile spread across his face. He unclenched his fists, blood dripping from his hands. He was breathing heavily, as if he ran a marathon. Blossom was laying in the crater, arms outstretched like she was making a snow angel. Her face was severely bruised, right eye looked as if it would never open again and left eye was beginning to swell. Blood slowly streamed down her face while flowing from her nose and mouth.
He analyzed her "predicament" carefully. He leaned down and put his left ear near her nose. He strained his hearing and waited to feel any breathe on his ear. She had 3 short breaths, spanned out in about a few seconds. She's still alive huh, he thought. He grabbed the front of her top and tossed her into a nearby 2-story building. He leapt out of the crater and flew toward her. She remained in the building's wall for a few seconds and fell to the ground.
Her vision was... almost nonexistent. How... am I... still... alive? she thought as she laid on the ground. She heard him land in front of her. He watched her as she looked like a dead body. All that was missing was the chalk outline. He noticed her body twitch and his eyes widen.
Truly remarkable, he thought as she slowly rose to her feet. Blood dripping from her head as she did. When she fully stood up, he chuckled. She was slightly slouched over like someone with a hunchback. Her legs were shaking, struggling to maintain her posture. Her mouth was a little stuck open, drool and blood dripping from it. "I'm impressed," Barak said, "But let's end this." As soon as he said that he shot lightning from his fingers.
"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Blossom screamed in agony, her body convulsing in the process. As he continued to electrocute her, his lightning seemed to increase in voltage. Her screams echoed throughout the city, and it only made him laugh.
"HAHAHAH! THAT'S RIGHT! SCREAM ALL YOU WANT! NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU!" He yelled as he started to notice tears fall down her face. After what seemed for about hours, he finally stopped. He analyzed the aftermath of what he did. She was smoking, literally smoking as if she was on fire. She stayed left & right and dropped to the ground on her left side. "Huh, guess she's not that strong after all," he said as he walked up to her.
"Hey. Get up," he nudged her with his foot. She didn't move. He nudged her again and there was no movement. His eyes widened and sweat started to drip down his forehead. He knelt and moved her on her back. He put his left ear over her nose and strained to hear or feel any breathe. There. Was. NOTHING! Barak's face paled, he leaned away from her nose and his face was contorted in fear. Blossom was... dead.
"SHIT! SHIT SHIT SHIT!" He shouted. While still on his knees, he rubbed his hands slowly together and lightning started to form around them. He did this for a few minutes until his right hand was like a conductor for electricity. "This should work," he said as he placed his right hand over where her heart was. He flexed his hand and the electricity dispersed throughout her body, her body convulsed and twitched in response. He removed his hand and just waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Until a gasp of breath.
She took one breath and coughed afterward. Her breathing was shallow, but she was alive. "Thank the King. He said not to kill them," he grabbed Blossom and put her over his left shoulder, "I've got to be careful when I have too much fun!" Barak started to stroll through the city to its center, where Solgadan wanted them to meet after their "battles." He hummed a tune while she was almost lifeless, blood dripping from her head.
