Chapter 125: Keep on Swinging
Katrina could only spit blood on the floor as Calypso knelt down next to her,
"My child, haven't you heard the expression 'be careful what you wish for?'" Katrina, still bleeding profusely, mumbled her response,
"I vaguely remember Christopher warning me and Damon about this."
"Well now you know," said Calypso, rising back up, "now Damon...pick up that blade..." ordered Calypso. Damon obediantly picked up the large serated weapon that resembled Sweet Tooths' weapon, "...raise it up..." Damon raised the blade up over his head,
"Damon...please don't do this!" Begged Katrina, not wishing to see her friend be a puppet to the twisted wish granter.
"Like I said, Miss Lagos, fierce loyalty..." said Calypso, "...now, Damon Sparda, strike down your true enemy!!"
WHISH!!
Calypsos' eyes widened, and he turned to Damon, the white haired boy glaring right at him with his red eyes, and Katrina watching the two with confusion. Calypsos' head then tilted down...and down...and down until it fell right to the floor, his body crumpling after. The red in Damons' eyes vanished, and he looked around the room in confusion,
"What the fuck...? Did I die? Did I get Dragonball-ed back to life?"
"I brought you back to life with Calypsos' wish, stupid..." said Katrina, getting Damons' attention. He dropped the large blade and rushed to her, sliding onto his knees and giving her a tight yet heartfelt hug, "...ow." Damon pulled back, looking directly into her eyes,
"Kat, I remember the explosion, but I don't remember much after that. Care to fill me in?"
"Well, you died, obviously, then I found those blades you left behind for me, Sweet Tooth killed Clyde and all the mechanics, I killed that bastard clown, then I made it up here and made the wish...but you came back under his control, but when he gave you the order to kill me, you chopped his damn head off. So how about you fill me in on that one, huh?" Damon looked to the floor, trying to find an answer himself,
"I...I don't know...maybe it's because of all the shit we've been through together? Maybe it's because he said 'strike down your true enemy,' and I went Kylo Ren on his ass?" Damon turned to his invisible wall, "Or maybe it could be one gigantic plothole that our dear loving author Scarecrow667 wouldn't have the slightest clue how to fi-!" Before Damon could ramble on about more nonsense, Katrina turned his head, pressed her lips to his and silencing him. When she finally pulled back Damon stammered, "W-w-what the hell was that?!"
"That was me getting you to shut the fuck up," said Katrina with a smile. Damon paused, then chuckled, remembering that he said the same thing to her. He then turned to Calypsos' desk, and saw the bottle that contained their powers and items,
"Kat...is that...?"
"Yep," answered the former Goddess, "all our powers and weapons packed into one bottle." Damon smirked,
"Shall we take it outside?" Katrina smiled,
"Yes...but I will need some help because I'm pretty sure Sweet Tooth broke my knee." Before long Damon had the bottle in one hand, Katrinas' good arm hooked around his shoulders, and was helping her out the main doors. Soon they sere back out in the street where Sweet Tooths' body and ice cream truck remained,
"Yeesh!" Commented Damon, seeing Sweet Tooths mangled body, "did you pull that off?" Katrina nodded,
"Yeah...I finally faced my fear...and I know now that there is something I'm more scared of than clowns," she turned to Damon, "it's losing those I care for most." Damon nodded, and looked down at the bottle with their powers,
"Wanna get our powers back?" Katrina nodded,
"Yes...please!" Damon then popped the cork out of the top, letting loose all the smoke inside, and to the joy of both Damon and Katrina, Weskers car reappeared, Damons' coat reappeared on his shoulders along with his weapons, and his Devil Bringer arm had been restored. Katrinas' weapons returned as well, as did her ash gray skin, and to her luck, her wounds had been healed instantly, leaving no trace of her fight with Sweet Tooth, or even the small cuts under her breast where Mr. Grimm had his chainsaw. Damon whooped into the air with joy,
"Damn it's good to be back!!" He then looked towards Sweet Tooths' ice cream truck, "Promotion: Rook!" A red rook breifly appeared over Damons' head, and he sent his ghostly Devil Bringer arm to the truck, and with one punch he sent it skidding down the street. Katrina took Soul Reaver off her back, smiling at the sword with a tear of joy,
"Raziel, I don't know if you can hear me, but it's good to have you back."
"Oh! Wait a minute!" Damon dug through his coat, retrieving two objects; his flask, and cell phone. He raised his phone into the air, pressed a button, and began to play 'For Those About To Rock' by AC/DC as he sipped from the flask, relishing the burning fluid sliding down his throat, "That's better!" Katrina laughed,
"I can safely say that I actually missed that from you." Right then, a portal opened up in front of the car, shocking the duo at first, but then sending determination through them,
"I guess Zeus was expecting us," said Damon, tightening his Devil Bringer into a fist. Katrina exhaled,
"I guess so." Both of them made their way to the car, stepping inside and strapping into their seats,
"Ready Kat?" The restored Devil Goddess sighed,
"Almost...I was just wondering..." she turned to look Damon in the eyes, "...what was the point of all this? Us being sent to Twisted Metal land or whatever?" Damon tapped his finger on the steering wheel, and came up with an answer,
"Maybe the whole point of this mini story arc was to show that even if you fall, or in our case lose our powers, you just get back up and keep swinging no matter what." Katrina smiled at Damon,
"Very insightful," said Katrina. Both of them then turned to the portal, with Damon revving the engine,
"Alright Zeus! I hope you're listening you mismatched OP OC motherfucker!" Shouted Damon, pressing his foot the the gas pedal while keeping his foot on the brake, making the tires spin until they were smoking, "In the same tone as the great T Booker!" Damon released the brake, speeding to the portal on two wheels, "WE'RE COMING FOR YOU N-!!" The two dissappeared through the portal, leaving nothing but silence behind them.
Not even a second later...
"-INJA!! OH SHIT!!"
SPLASH!!
In a large gold and marble room, Damon rose up from steaming sudsy water, coughing and sputtering, the car and Katrina being nowhere in sight,
"Oh fuck...oh fuck oh fuck oh FUCK it happened agian!!" Damon panicked, once again being separated from Adrian and Katrina, but now he was alone...or so he thought,
"Damon...?" The white haired boy froze, recognizing the innocent voice,
Oh fuck, he thought, slowly turning around, seeing a familiar fair skinned elven girl, giving him a look of surprise and hope, "Nyna...!"
"Damon!" The young elven queen ran to Damon, throwing her arms around his head and kissing him on his lips, cheeks and neck, holding him tight and not letting go. "I missed you so much!"
"I...I missed you too Nyna..." said Damon, doing his best to remain calm, to not panic and run, "...I mean...it's only been a week but-"
"A week?!" Nyna pulled away from him in shock, "Damon it has been a year!" Now it was Damons' turn to be shocked,
"What?!"
At the same time...
Weskers car landed roughly on the other side of the portal, with Katrina smacking her head into the ceiling,
"Ow! Easy Damon! What are you trying to do, kill-?!" Katrinas' eyes widened when she looked to the drivers seat, seeing the seatbelt still buckled, but Damon had vanished. With the car still propelling forward she reached for the steering wheel, turning the car around to keep the car from speeding completely out of control, but that's when she heard it...
THUMP
Katrina then hopped into the drivers seat, finally stepping on the brakes. When she finally got the car stopped that's when she finally took in her surroundings; a desert, with dry cracked ground and no civilization anywhere in sight, but most horrifying of all was the black mass on the ground not far from the vehicle.
"Oh my god..." Katrina put the car into park, stepped out, and began to rush to him, but quickly stopped, for she recognized the dark mass, "Adrian!!" She rushed to his side, seeing he was on his stomach, realizing the THUMP was him! She turned him onto his back, and gasped at what she saw, "Adrian..." tears began to well up in her eyes, "...what happened to you?"
A/N: Now we got Damon back in the elven world, and Adrian is back in the fray! Stay tuned for the next chapter, for it can either make or break this story...
