AN: Hello guys! You're probably going to kill me because of the veeery late update. I'm sorry about this. A lot has happened and I don't feel like sharing them with someone…

Oh anyway, back to the story…

Disclaimer: I do own NOTHING but poor Diana. Wow… I actually do own something.

The Endless Destruction

Chapter 8: I Have No Choice Part II

SAM POV

"Breaking news, Phantom! YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS THE PHOENIX!"

"Great.

Just in time."

I thought, as I hit the wall with a nicely thrown energy ball. Diana looked at me with a bloodthirsty grin. I tried to concentrate, but I couldn't turn into my Phoenix form.

"Come on! Haven't you turned into your true form yet?" She yelled and hit me with an energy blast. I tried to absorb that but it didn't work. I growled in pain when the energy blasts hit me several times.

I was starting to see blurry…

"NO! GET AWAY FROM HER!"

I heard Danny, yelling furiously, followed by Diana's scream of pain. Danny held her arm and smashed her to the wall. She fell on the ground.

"Sam! Are you okay?" He flew towards me and helped me get up.

"BEHIND YOU!" I screamed and tried to make a shield, but it didn't work. Danny turned back…

But it was too late. His eyes widened as Diana hit him from his chest with an energy blade.

He fell while ectoplasm spilled out from his deep cut.

I…Couldn't hear his pulse…

"DANNY! NO!" I screamed, anger and sadness filling my thoughts…

The image of Danny, collapsing with a blade stuck into his chest…

My visions were clouded with black flames…

"NOO!!!!" I screamed, slightly noticing that the voice was not mine. It was echoed, and the other voices of my anger were mixed up with it. With my scream, my aura grew bigger and the fire around us grew stronger.

It didn't matter anymore.

The flames were everywhere.

And now, I was going to tear her up to pieces for what she had done to my Danny.


DIANA POV

She was burning with black flames…

With her scream, the flames around us screamed with rage.

I was going to kill her. The darkness was on my side.

But now it was the darkness itself, standing in front of me.

No… It was not darkness…It was death. Death had come to take my life…

I thought I would beat her. My master would be pleased… He would be proud. I would show him that I was different from my brother, that filthy, weak bastard, who failed our master… I would not fail...

But I did…

There was no chance to win… Not even a chance to run away. I think now I understand what my brother felt when he fought against this… Goddess. Her aura was as evil as my master.

I noticed a change in her soul. She was not the one I once fought against. Her eyes were looking through me, looking at my very soul.

She hungered for it…

She slowly walked towards me, holding a sword made by fire and dark energy. Her eyes were glowing pure red with no emotion. She raised her glowing hand and the fire around me grew bigger.

She then disappeared from my sight.

She suddenly appeared behind me, swinging her sword at my head , but I dodged it with mine. She hit me with another blow, but I dodged it again and dashed back. A cold smile appeared on her pale lips, her eyes glowing now crimson, nearly black, as she dashed towards me again. I dodged the blow, but my sword shattered into pieces.

I hit the wall. A painful groan escaped from my lips.

"I… will not give up. I can't!" I tried to get up, but fell again.

I couldn't move. I heard a silent, sinister chuckle, as her fist closed, slowly.

I then felt my heart, burning with those black flames, piercing my heart like thousands of stings.

I screamed.


SAM POV

Do not let her escape. She must pay…

Yes… She had to pay, with a painful price. She had to die!

Make her death slow, and painful.

I slowly walked towards her broken body. My sword disappeared.

Imagine her heart… Can you hear her heartbeat?

I thought of her heartbeat and closed my fist. An uncontrolled urge to laugh overtook my body, and it got out as a chuckle which was not like my own voice. I chuckled from the pleasure I felt as she screamed with pain.

Now, rip it off from her body.

Her face went pale as she realized her fate.

"Please, I'm begging you… Spare my life…"she begged with a pained voice. I looked in her eyes, piercing her with emotions. She coughed blood and stared at it in pure horror.

You have no choice.

"I have… no choice…" I muttered. My hand raised, and another grin spread across my face.

Just then, I felt another mind behind me.

Danny was waking up.


"Sam…" he whispered slowly. My hand fell. I blinked, and looked around for the first time.

It was like a battlefield. There were ashes on the ground, probably from the burned objects. My fire of uncontrolled anger was still there, but not as strong as it was before.

"DANNY!" I ran over him. He had turned back to his human form. I kneeled down by his side. I lifted his body and made him sit. His eyes were closed and his wound was worse than before.

"I wonder…" I covered his wound with my hand and focused my energy on it. A light red glow appeared at my hand. "Please work…" I prayed, "Please…"

The wound slowly started to close.

I helped him get up. When I was done healing him he was just staring at me. Then he looked at the classroom, or what was left of it. There was blood at the corner of the wall, where Diana was lying. She was gone now. Ran away again...

I trembled when I remembered the violent voice inside my head, whispering what I had to do.

I remembered myself, the overtaking , corrupting feeling, the power flooding within me when I fought with Diana. It was all wrong…

So wrong to be me… I don't want to lose control! I can't!

Why was I so weak against that voice?

"Why didn't you tell me Sam?" Danny asked me softly, pulling me out from my thoughts. His beautiful, sky blue eyes staring at mine. He was not angry, but a piece of disappointment was there in his eyes. That hurt me a lot.

He was right to be disappointed. I had failed. He didn't deserve to be hurt, but I was failing

"I… was not ready. My powers… They were out of control. My emotions had triggered them. I decided to tell you today, but Diana came and… I lost my control when she stabbed you with the sword of hers. She planned all this, but she never thought it would come to this. It was like a dream. And you woke me up. I thought you were dead… I'm… I'm so sorry, Danny!" I whispered with a trembled voice. I was shaking like a leaf. I remembered I was in my Phoenix form. I slowly turned back to my human form again. I suddenly fell on the ground, feeling dizzy, as the world looked like more of a blurred mass of color.

"Sam!" Danny quickly catched me. The last thing I saw was his blue eyes, then everything went black.

AN: Well, that's it for now. I will write the next chapter as soon as possible. Until then; see you guys around.
