Blaine
After leaving the underground torture chamber he finds himself in
Tokyo. Right in the middle of the busy city itself. Then he feels it.
"its her." He can feel her now, Rinoa. He can feel her
spirit. All this time he thought that she was gone. he takes to the
air and rushes to find her
Amaira
There we were, in
the middle of a field. Right away, I knew Raina was going to assume
this was a terrible botch on Rinoa's part, but I knew we were in just
the right place. I looked at Raina.
"Are you ready?" I
asked her.
"Ready for what?" she said, too focused on
her new wings. I chuckled, then held up the revival potion in my
hand.
"You know this alone will not work for Rinoa, not with
Advina in the same room. We're going to have to do an energy
transfer". At that, Raina nodded.
"Hai, I understand"
I handed a nervous Rinoa the bottle, uncorked, and she drank it
while Raina and I prepared for the transfer. As soon as we were
centered- and Itachi was safely out of the way- we surrounded our
sister and began to give her the life she would need to complete this
fight. As the ball of energy became brighter around us, I could hear
Itachi mucking about, trying to get a look at Raina. I watched Rinoa
carefully as she became stronger by the moment; then, seeing her eyes
reach the desired intensity of blue, signaling the return of her full
power capacity,I let up. Having been successful, Raina and I
disengaged, and walked a few feet back from the still glowing Rinoa,
just in case she had the sudden urge to blast someone for the fun of
it. Satisfied that she was suffering no post-death psychosis, I
returned to the task at hand.
Looking pointedly at my
counterparts, I nodded, then proceeded to walk just a few feet to the
right. Everyone, even the usually stoic Itachi, gasped when I took
out a dagger and cut my hand, letting the blood fall on the ground at
my feet. When Rinoa came running over, I waved her off, and pointed
down. As they all watched, an energy portal opened right there in the
grass before us, and then the staircase came into view. I silently
pointed for them to make their way down, and Itachi insisted upon
going first, though im not sure if it was because he is a man, or
because he simply likes danger. Just as my feet hit the first step,
there came a terrible noise from underneath us, and the entire thing
caved in. We all came falling down, on our quite shocked asses, I
might add. When we were able to get up and look around, there she
was, standing right before us- Advina. I always have to wonder how
someone as truly vile as she can be beautiful, but yet she is and
always has been. As Itachi and I helped my sisters get their bearings
about them, Advina walked in a circle around us, laughing.
"Amaira...tell me- why are you so foolish as to come here,
in my own domain, to challenge me? You knew I was aware you were
coming. After all...your sister looks like an overgrown insect
because of our last encounter"
Rinoa snickered at the insect
comment, throwing a look at both me and Raina.
"Told ya..."
she said, which prompted Raina to give her a dirty look. This did not
amuse Advina.
"Stifle, you brats. What is this, some sort of
family trait? None of you can keep your mouths shut for very long?
Ah...it is not of any importance...what is of importance is that
I am going to make quick work of all of you. Starting with...",
she trailed off while looking us over,"...you.", she said,
pointing her staff at Raina. Not a moment later, before we could
really react, she blasted Raina with an energy force so strong that
none of us could stand. Luckily for our youngest sister, Itachi threw
her out of the way, and she was spared the full effects. We all got
back to our feet, just in time to see Raina fly across the room,
determined to destroy the one she so loathingly referred to as simply
the "witch".
Raina
With a fire
now alight in her newly acquired eyes, Raina jumped the witch and
proceeded to royally beat the shit out of Advina. "Raina, leave
some for me and Rinoa," scolded Amaira. Raina easied up a bit
and let the others have their shot at her. While Rinoa and Amaira
took their turns on a smirking Advina, Raina walked over to Itachi
and smiled. "Thanks for saving me, honey." Itachi smirked
at her and ruffled her hair playfully. "Of course. I had to save
you." Raina was about to lean in to kiss him when Rinoa and
Amaira were sent into her in full force knocking all three to the
ground.
Itachi readied his katana and charged at the witch.
Advina smirked and sent Itachi reeling with a single attack, knocking
him unconscious. Raina's eyes flashed a dangerously bright red and
she and her sisters stood in unison and jumped Advina all at once,
pounding her, physically and magically. A dark energy began
surrounding Advina as she sent the girls flying again. They landed on
the ground in a hard thud and stood and gathered themselves. Raina's
impatience grew thin and she unleashed an attack that would kill any
normal magical being in an instant, but Advina dodged it and sent it
back to her at double the strength.
Raina dodged at the last
second and watched as the attack hit a nearby tree and
dissentergrated it. :Holy fucking hell that was close: she
thought. Raina and Amaira combined attacks while Rinoa jumped Advina
from behind and held her still. Raina and Amaira fired their attack
and it hit Advina dead on. A thick cloud of smoke surrounded them,
making them all cough. "Did we do it?" asked Rinoa. When
the smoke cleared, Advina was weakend, but still standing there.
"SHIT!" exclaimed Rinoa. "How did she survive
that!"
"I dont know," said Amaira. Raina,
playing on a hunch, walked over to the witch, only to be surprised by
a left hook to her jaw, sending her reeling across the room.
Raina
stood up and her sisters stood beside her and they looked at each
other and nodded, then one by one, each girl's body glowed the color
of their aura, Rinoa's blue, Amaira's red and Raina's black. The
girls then combined powers and launched a massive attack at Advina.
At the last second, Advina countered their attack, the result leading
to a bright flash of lights, a huge bang and a huge cloud of smoke.
"Again with the damn smoke!" Coughed Raina. Amaira yanked
Raina out of the smoke and laid her next to her unconscious lover.
"Rest now, Sister.." Raina eyed Amaira worriedly and
scanned the scene. "Where's Rinoa? I dont see Rinoa. Where is
she, Amaira?"
Rinoa
After the blast, I awoke
hearing Raina call out for me. I screamed back that I was ok, I was
somehow completely unscathed, but it seemed no one could hear me, as
Raina, Amaira, and Itachi were all roaming about, calling my name.
Confused and flustered, I began to walk towards them when something
caught my eye...I looked down, and saw myself. I could hardly
believe this for a moment, then looked again. There I was...on the
ground, bleeding from the head. I was used to seeing my body from
outside of it now, having dealt with this alot as of late, but this
was different. I was completely thrown this time, there was no
connection, no way back, as there always had been previously. I was
truly seperated from my body...my soul, it was displaced. In other
words, I was dead. Truly dead, no revival could bring me back from
such a state. Suddenly, I could not take anymore of this, and let out
a scream so loud that I was sure everyone in the underworld could
hear it. At this, Amaira turned around, looked my way, but seemed to
not see me, just my body on the ground.
"RAINA!",
she screamed as she ran to my side.
Raina turned around, saw me
there, and turned white. Amaira had already pulled my body into her
lap before Raina got there, with Itachi trailing behind, looking
shocked. I sat there, helpless, as my sisters tried frantically to
save me, hitting me with energy, chanting, pleading, anything they
could think of. It seemed like an eternity this went on, to no avail.
I knew they would not be successful, and I just wanted to tell them
it was ok to let me go, but as hard as I tried to reach out, to talk
to them, to touch their shoulder, something- I could not break
through. I was too far gone this time. I accepted this and sat there,
crying, as my sisters tried endlessly to correct this heinous
mistake. Amaira gave up first, sitting back on her knees and sobbing
loudly, but Raina kept going, sure as she always was that she could
undo this.
"COME BACK!", was all I could hear her say
as she repeatedly hit me with energy, frantic.
Finally, unable to
take anymore, Itachi pulled her away as she fought to break free.
Amaira got up and went to her, putting an arm around her shoulder. As
I tried to comprehend what this meant, I suddenly felt a manevolent
presence at my back and turned around. Standing there was Advina,
looking down at my lifeless form with a look not unlike
disappointment on her face. I found at this moment that I still had
the ability to read minds, and was able to discertain a brief
thought...
"...what now? how the hell am I going to get
him here without the bait?..."
I walked closer to her,
trying to get something more, but all I got was the word "Blaine"
before a great black bolt came from out of nowhere. I looked, and saw
it had come from Raina, who was now charging Advina full force, but
there was something different about her- she was glowing...all over,
as was Amaira. Of course I didnt have much time to process this, as
the screaming and fighting started again seconds later. Unable to do
anything, I walked back to my body. At that moment, with the sounds
going on around me, hearing my sister's voices, I saw a light come
through from above me, and felt this incredible pull towards it. But
even as I did, something else was pulling me back...a voice in the
distance, saying to hold on. I had one final thought before I lost
all sense of awareness-" I never even said goodbye to any of
them, my sisters, my friends...Blaine..."
