Gingka has never flied so fast before, but he couldn't help it. His determination into getting Dynamis back was more powerful than any of the fears he might be feeling right now.
"I don't wanna hurt you!"-The young redhead canalized his power on his fists and tried to punch his friend right in the face.
"What a shame!"-Dynamis laughed, his body started to be surrounded by a dark purple aura.-"Because that's all I-"-
"You didn't let me finish!"-Gingka interrupted him and tried to punch him again.-"I don't want to hurt you! But if that's the only way I can get you out of my friend's body, then bring it on!"-
After that statement, The warrior of Autumn took advantage of how close he was to Dynamis and shoot him with a giant amount of energy that came out directly from his eyes.
Gingka actually thought that it would be enough to knock him out.
However, the only outcome resulted on Dynamis shielding away from this attack using his own power.
And to add insult to injury, he laughed cynically to mock Gingka even more.
"You still don't get it, do you?"-The guy with lilac hair tilted his head with a disturbing gesture.-"I'm not being possessed like those two are."-
"What?!"-
"Yes! The Child of Nemesis has seen a potential in me that neither of those fools seemed to have. And bestowed a...special treatment upon me."-Dynamis' smile went even wider.-"The Curse of Hades has set me free! Free from all this uncertainty! Free from this stupid responsibility! Free from all this fear! And free from the likes of you!"-
"If you think I'm buying anything you said, Then-"-
"The Black Sun took this hopeless, damned, and pointless task off my shoulders, and I'm actually free! Free to have a purpose of my own! And most importantly, I'm free from guiding the most sorry excuse of a team of warriors I've had to bear for such a long time!"-The warrior of Jupiter laughed even harder.
His laugh was so wicked, it made Gingka feel very disgusted but...He couldn't help for also feeling sad the moment he heard Dynamis saying that about them.
He...He is lying.
This isn't Dynamis.
Dynamis would never give up on his destiny...
Dynamis would never give up on them.
"For years...I've been living in isolation, counting the days when the time comes...To fulfill a destiny I never chose in the first place..."-Dynamis' eyes started to shine.-"Well! I can finally say: I don't want it!"-
A wave of power pulsed its way out of the warrior of Jupiter and started to turn everything black. Gingka panicked and started flying in order to not fall into this void of darkness.
He started to breath in a very accelerated manner, there was no end to this. He couldn't get out. It didn't matter how far he flew or how much light he emitted from his hands, he was trapped.
It isn't real...
Gingka stopped, closed his eyes, and tried to stop his hyperventilation.
Is just an illusion...There is nothing to fear.
"Calm down..."-The soldier of Autumn whispered to himself.-"You are okay...You are fine...This isn't real..."-
"Oh...But it is."-
Dynamis' voice sounded like an echo in this darkness.
"And it's only the beginning..."-
Tithi closed his eyes shut and took a deep breath, his power started to flow through his veins.
He didn't wanted to do this.
Sure, he has fought his friends a lot of times already, but that was while training.
It was supposed to be fun!
Now, he actually has to hurt Aguma, and he doesn't like it one bit!
But...He has to try and save him.
Before he could use his empathic powers, the little pink haired kid noticed that his friend was coming at him already with great amounts of energy focused on his fists.
Tithi had no choice but to jump.
His opponent caught up to this and tried to kick him.
Tithi jumped again.
Cycnus had to admit it, the kid sure it's fast as lightning.
"You know, I'm starting to notice that you are just one trick pony."-Kyoya pointed out the minute he dodged one of Chris' energy balls.
"What are you talking about?!"-The blonde guy used his power to try and hit both his opponents.
But they got out of the way almost immediately.
"I mean that you don't even know what you can do!"-Kyoya laughed as he jumped.-"Yeah, teleporting was a nice surprise, but you are just literally shooting your powers at us, don't you have any more tricks?!"-
"Hey, you know what?!"-King laughed as he dodged the attack by using his sword's blade to cut through it.-"You are right! This guy has almost no training! He has no control over his powers! There is nothing more to him than energy blasts!"-
Chris growled and tried to attack them again.
"Oh yeah?!"-He raised his hands as high as possible.-"Don't be so sure of that!"-
That sudden movement was accompanied from even more power that appeared to be emitting from King's and Kyoya's shadows.
All that power went larger and larger until it looked like a string that enrolled itself all around the legendary warriors and held them tight.
"H-hey! Let go!"-The soldier of Mars accidentally dropped his sword.
"Oh, now you've done it, you motherfuc-"-Kyoya groaned as he tried to set himself free.
Chris cut him off by moving his hands again in order to lift his opponents up in the air.
And closed his fists.
That action made them groan with discomfort, it appeared to make the pressure around them even tighter.
"At least give me some credit for paying attention, because I've noticed a few useful things."-He looked up and showed them his smile. Then, he looked only at King.-"Your strength it's impressive, but you are nothing without your sword."-
"As soon as I get out of this, I'm going to cram those words down your throat."-King simply said while trying to repress his anger.-"You know, you are really pushing my patience so hard that if you weren't part warriors of the four seasons, I would personally rip your stupid arm off."-
"And you can only control the weather. We are hundreds of miles underground. You are completely useless here."-The blonde boy paid no mind to the blue haired guy he was holding and directed himself to his other opponent.-"Still thinking I'm pathetic? Your powers are a complete waste of the fragment."-
Kyoya lowered his gaze and smiled.
"Oh, are they?"-That smirk he had on his face made his fangs show.-"Just look around you. You might want to notice that there is something I can control no matter where I am."-
"What?!"-Chris barked at him with anger.
"Just try to listen to it."
"To what?!"-
"The voice of the wind."-The warrior of Spring looked up.-"I can feel the pulse of the earth along with the one of my fragment, it's inside my veins and I know I can command it to do anything I want."-
"Dude, you just talked like Dynamis."-King mumbled.
"You are bluffing! There's no wind in here!"-
"As long as I'm alive, I know I can create it."-Kyoya's smile went wider, but also sort of scary.-"It doesn't matter if I have to use my last breath to set myself free, I won't let some whinny little idiot decide whether I can keep fighting or not."-
"I have been waiting for this day for so long..."-Pluto said in a sing-like way, of course, he was using Madoka's voice.
"Well, your wait is over."-Yuki tried to not sound intimidated, and held his spear with both hands.-"I'm right here."-
The young brunette girl took something out from behind her.
It was a sword.
Yuki flinched for a second.
Well, it seems that it's going to be that kind of fight.
The warrior of Mercury took a deep breath, he could do this.
He has to do this.
"Oh, but where are my manners?!"-Pluto laughed cynically.
"What?"-Yuki was genuinely confused.
"I'll give you the first shot, you can have it."-He used Madoka's hand to wave the sword around.-"If I let you attack me first, then I won't have to feel guilty when I am relentless on you. Come on, Ermis."-
"That's not my name."-The boy with glasses didn't even moved, but still sounded pretty angry.
"Right, right. I apologize."-He laughed.-"Yuki."-
The legendary warrior still didn't moved.
If he attacked first, then he will end up hurting her for good.
There has to be something he can do.
"Well? Aren't you going to attack me?"-He asked.-"What's the matter? Afraid you will hurt your dear sister?"-
The lack of an answer pretty much confirmed that he was right.
"Oh, is that it?"-Pluto made his best to look surprised.-"Well, what if I tell you that not fighting me will hurt her even worse? Would that be enough to make you to convince you?"-
Pluto extended Madoka's right arm and approached the blade of his sword to it.
Yuki gasped.
It started with a tentative touch, but it wasn't even seconds before he started to drive the blade on a straight line. Leaving a trail of slightly open flesh behind it.
"No!"-
A blade made out of crystalized blue energy interrupted the path of Pluto's sword and with a stroke, it got it as far away from Madoka's arm as possible.
Pluto looked up.
"Touch my sister again and it will be the last thing you will ever do!"-Yuki whispered in a very cold tone.
"Finally!"-Pluto laughed and tried to attack Yuki once again.-"I will get my fight after all! Don't you feel the adrenaline of the moment?! Don't you feel how the mutual hate that has been accumulated for centuries has finally reached its peak?!"-
"I do not!"-The boy yelled in response while he blocked the attack with his spear.-"I don't know who you are! I don't care who you are! All I know is that I'm ending your control over Madoka this instant!"-
As he blocked Pluto's attack, Yuki realized how he was about to strike his sword to the direction of his leg and ended jumping. However, the quickness of his actions, made him fall on his back.
Pluto walked over him and raised his sword before looking at Yuki in the eye.
"My, how rude!"-He laughed again.-"Well! Let's see if this sounds familiar!"-
After he yelled, Pluto lowered his sword so abruptly that it seemed to get an inch near Yuki's face in the blink of an eye.
To which, he caught up as quick as he could and used his spear to block the attack.
"This is the story of a young prince."-He hit him again using his sword.-"He was the son of the mightiest king to ever live, and all he wanted to do was to live up to his legacy."-
Another hit.
"But he didn't always knew what to do in order to meet the expectations of his kingdom."-This time, the strokes his sword made to Yuki's spear sounded louder.-"His ideas appeared to be wrong, his plans were wrong, and no matter what he ever did; it was always wrong!"-
Another hit.
"But it was fine! He didn't felt bad because he could talk about it with his best friend."-That last thing came out as if he was spitting venom out of his lips.-"A smart, yet impulsive, soldier that appeared to be trapped on his brother's shadow from the moment he came into this world."-
Another hit.
"Their friendship was tight. No matter what; they were there for each other."-The look in his eyes went darker with every word.-"Together, they were an unstoppable force, and their plans for their future were clear as the light of day. But..."-
Another hit.
This one made Yuki's hands hurt a little bit.
It appears that it's only going to get worse from here.
"The soldier's brother made the big mistake of opposing to the king. Not shortly after that, he was murdered over his insubordination...Right in front of the soldier's eyes."-The look that Pluto was giving to Yuki was so cold and so bloodthirsty, that he couldn't help but to feel frightened.-"The prince tried to talk to the soldier. But the soldier was enraged, he was convinced that the prince had something to do with this. He thought his best friend was fully aware of his brother's fate and had decided to do nothing...And to be fair...He wasn't wrong."-
Another hit.
Yeah...It was getting worse.
Yuki isn't sure for how long he can keep this on.
"But! There was nothing the prince could do to avoid it! The king's mind was already made up! So, the best he could ever do was try to keep the soldier away from it when it happened. And try to persuade him to not take it so goddamn personally! To convince him that he was going to be alright! That this might even be good for him! But...He didn't listen...HE DIDN'T LISTEN!"-
The warrior of Mercury didn't wanted to take any chances with this one.
So, he acted quick and turned his spear into a baton.
He used to hit his opponent in the face, then he kicked his legs repeatedly to get away from Pluto.
The boy didn't wanted to his sister's face, but he had no choice!
This guy is really willing to kill him over something he never even did!
Pluto ended on the floor when Yuki attacked him, but he started laughing. A maniacal laugh that sounded worse than the best attempt from a horror movie.
He raised back up slowly, looking at Yuki as he kept laughing.
Man, if Yuki is sure of one thing, is that he will never piss Madoka off enough to get her like this, ever.
It seriously feels like it burns.
"Instead!"-He kept laughing.-"The soldier looked at the prince in the eye and told him to be prepared! That the king's reign will come to an end! And that the prince won't have a legacy to worry about because he would burn it down to ashes!"-
Pluto decided to attack Yuki one more time.
His sword clashed against the boy's baton and they stood there until either of them found the strength to push the other away.
"And then, the traitorous bastard started his quest to ruin fucking everything!"-Pluto made Madoka's voice go to an incredible high pitch.-"And after he and his army of other traitors annihilated almost the entire kingdom's military, he had no trouble going against the prince and trying to kill him in order to get to the king!"-
Yuki groaned in discomfort, he couldn't stand to push him away much longer.
He is too tired.
"But the king, as always, was smarter!"-Pluto laughed again.-"He knew these traitors had aligned with his brother! He also knew they had received a power that shouldn't belong to them on the first place! He knew there was only one way to secure his victory! So, he went to his son and gave him a chance. He gifted him something that would make him sleep and keep him alive for the day the real battle starts!"-
Okay...That's extremely vague but it means that his current existent is highly dependent on something...
Yuki has to figure out what it is before it's too late.
"And the prince took that chance! And he would be ready to destroy any remain of the soldier's memory!"-His smile softened.-"But then...He got a better idea."-
Compared to all the yelling, that sounded like a whisper.
"After he found out that the soldier's descendants were a pair of twins...He decided to take one as his host, and to make her tear her own brother limb by limb! And-"-
"Okay! That's enough!"-
Pluto had to brace himself due to the pulse of energy that shoved him away from the warrior of Mercury.
He then looked up and saw the boy surrounded by blue light that kept flowing around his body.
"Sorry to interrupt your...Your backstory, character development or whatever that was!"-Yuki held his baton up once more.-"But Madoka and I have nothing to do with any that! So, I'm going to ask you to get out of her body right now!"-
"Or what?!"-Pluto laughed once again.-"Will you kill your precious twin?!"-
The boy didn't answered, he just went ahead and attacked him.
"I said!"-Yuki leaned the baton behind, and then pushed it forward.-"Get out of her body!"-
The sword collided with the blue weapon.
"Get. Out. Right. Now!"-The boy repeated his attack.
"Angry and impatient, just like Ermis!"-Pluto laughed as he waved his sword.-"And I thought that Madoka had the most resemblance with those memories I saw!"-
"Get out of her body this instant!"-Yuki didn't cared about whatever Pluto was going to say right now.
"But, do you know what I find highly similar between the two of you?"-Pluto blocked Yuki's attack and looked at him directly in the eyes.
He found the warrior's gaze of pure rage very entertaining.
"Is that he turned on me when his brother was killed."-He stated the obvious.-"The brother he always complained about for not entrust him to do the simplest of tasks. The brother he always questioned for not being strong enough, and the same he always thought would be better off giving away his title. Now you are fighting me over the sister you brought nothing but pain, and whose life you ruined. Oh, how history repeats itself."-
Yuki stopped his attacks and slightly walked backwards.
"What? Did I touched a nerve?"-Pluto shrugged using Madoka's shoulder.-"Or do you not want to hear the truth at all? Because it's true! You ruined Madoka's life and trapped her inside a prison! Oh and your father...He wasn't the kindest jailer around..."-
"No."-
"What? Oh, that's right! She never told you anything!"-He laughed again.-"She lied and made it look like she was happy before, Well! She was a pretty good actress!"-
"Shut up."-
"The poor girl was so fixated on the idea that she could just make things go back to what they were!"-
"Shut. Up."-
"But who could blame her?! She didn't knew any better!"-
"Shut up!"-
"And her relationship with her father? Oh my, and I was complaining about mine when I was her age!"-
"I said."-
Without warning. Yuki used his weapon to slam the sword from Pluto's hand and to pin him against a wall.
"Shut up!"-
Pluto used Madoka's lips to form a pleased smile.
"Why?"-He grabbed the baton.
Madoka's hand started to glow pink for half a second, but the color quickly changed to blue.
Yuki's eyes went wide.
No...
