an: Another chapter up and this story enters it's final stages... and review and all that...
70 min that's an hour and ten minutes… that's how long they'd been at this, most athletes don't have this type of stamina, it had been the same they just kept on getting back up… and yet they hadn't really put a dent on her. She just kept sending them flying. And she looked bored and slightly pissed of now.
"Bloom we really can't take much more of this we need to get Jade before we all end up dead, and then we'll all fail… Winx isn't working charmix isn't working on her, we've tried convergence didn't work physical confrontation is out of the question so what's left to try?" Stella shouted at her.
"I'm thinking… we need Jade to actually win, but with her healing factor she should have been back by now, after we finish kicking Lilith's butt we're so having a long discussion on saving the world." Bloom sighed.
"See the problem is that you're to weak to defeat me… by taken out one of your top fighters I've weakened the collective," Lilith was now simply walking towards Bloom, smacking anyone close enough with her hammer.
Bloom backed away, "We will win…"Bloom said but her voice cracked she was beginning to feel the pressure, everyone's lives depended on her decisions.
"Please Bloom do you think I'm stupid, by taking out Jade I've made the collective weaker, I just had know idea you'd be this much weaker, it's a pity really I though that you'd still be a challenge but you've depended to much on Jade and that in turn has forced her to distance herself away from you because she hate's being used. She enjoys a good fight but not the way that you've been using her, that's why she defected. And you know you were the only three who really stood in my way but your powers are insignificant compared to the power that she has stored within her body, the ability to wield magic on the subatomic level, the power of the phoenix which includes it's own healing factor making Jade nearly immortal, the power of her mirror eye the ability to copy any martial art mixed with the power of the conduit making it nearly impossible to defeat her in hand to hand combat. And then I gave her the power of the beast, which really just boosts all her other powers, but it makes her more feral and more willingly to kill." Lilith grinned cruelly and ducked a dragon blast and threw her own blast, which sent Bloom flying backwards.
"Of course there is the law of Equivalent exchange mostly when it comes to power, for all that power Jade unwillingly gave up a lot more then she bargained for. The most recent thing Jade has given up is her control so stop thinking that she'll come back to save you even if she could break free of the demonic energy that binds her, she still has to piece back her soul, which I accidentally smashed, the one thing even her healing factor can't heal."
Bloom smirked and pushed herself up, "Aly was right you do talk to much and you are a stupid old hag, I may not see eye to eye with my cousin but I know her well enough to that she wouldn't betray us."
Lilith rolled her eyes, "Look I really don't care all I want is the tear Bloom so hand it over," Lilith held out her hand.
"I don't have it none of us do when Jade retrieved it we sent it to a place where even you couldn't get it from," Bloom smirked again at the look on Lilith's face, "And now I think it's time for us to end this, Flora now!" Bloom screamed as Flora touched the ground, and vines wrapped around Lilith's feet. Tecna added to the trap, as did Layla planting Lilith in one spot.
"Decibel bane!" Musa shouted causing Lilith to cover her ears to keep the eardrums from shattering.
"I got the demonic energy out of your body like I promised and I know you still can't tell the fake memories from the real ones, so all I can tell you is you should make this decision for yourself, trust your heart, not your memories." He looked at where the fight was progressing and turned to her.
Her eyes were focused on the fight below and he could see the haunted look in her hollow eyes. She had changed in the past seven years immensely. Yes she had been gone for seven years; still running across her abdomen and chest was the scar that Lilith had placed there it seemed better… but that was only because it wasn't bleeding… a that time, a rough stitch job had stopped the massive bleeding but any normal person would be bed ridden, yet she was standing there. She looked at him as he touched her shoulder and nodded once at her before disappearing.
"Aly now!" Bloom screamed at her, as she prepared a dagger like dragon blast in her hands. Aly followed suit preparing her own element to hit Lilith with, and it was powerful as she felt her hand seize up, this would be it they would kill Lilith without Jade.
As both Faeries lunged at Lilith who glanced up and saw it. The faeries that were working on keeping Lilith in place gasped and their hold on Lilith weakened. She had caught them twin blast each aimed for a vital organ. She blinked the BOBS who were still standing had decided to rush her from the front, she sighed and literally wrenched the blasts from Bloom and Aly's hands and threw it at them using her foot she kicked up her hammer and twisted it expertly so that she hit Aly in the lungs and Bloom on the lower back attempting to paralyse her… she missed the spine but Bloom would have a major bruise there later. They collapsed onto the ground writhing in pain. Lilith wheeled around and used her powers to bring the rest of the faeries closer to her, using her powers she forced them to ricochet across several objects including each other before throwing into the pile of bodies.
Disgusted she kicked Bloom over, and picked up Musa, "Listen to me because I'm only going to ask you this once more, otherwise I'm going to punch a hole where Musa's heart is." It was a threat a major one and the hatred and frustration shone in her eyes.
Bloom saw fear in Musa's eyes as they pleaded with her to tell Lilith where the god damn tear was. But Sky would she put his life on the line for Musa… one of her closest friends… for the man she loved.
"Hurry up Bloom you have three seconds," Lilith announced as she raised Musa to eye level and dropped her hammer her right hand opened in a sort of claw position she was literally going to rip Musa's heart out. "1… when I finish ripping out her heart I'm going to make Flora eat it. 2…" Bloom closed her eyes and turned her head, "3… no answer pity…" with that Lilith hand shot out at an astonishing speed.
Bloom yelled and waited for that horrible cracking noise, of Musa's ribs breaking, the silent gushing sound of Lilith's hand passing through the Musa's lungs and heart… but it never came. Bloom opened her left eye and gasped she was back and she had caught the blow. Not with her body like she would have done but with her hand.
Her other hand shot up and hit Lilith's arm at an angle and a force that would have shattered it but Lilith put up a shield in time however it didn't make much of a difference as the force of the punch forced Lilith to drop Musa.
"You used me, you fucking bitch," Jade's voice was unusually hard and her now longer hair covered half of her face.
Lilith was completely caught of guard she had underestimated the girl again. But here she stood… her body completely void of any demonic energy… but that would take seven years to completely drain all demonic energies… Seven years… "But how?"
"Avalon is located in the time realms, which are completely hidden by sacrificing 70 minutes in this time I was able to gain seven years without aging or anything like that so I had to endure so much so I could rid myself of your poison." Jade replied as she dropped, and did a fiery sweep kick causing Lilith to jump up.
"Interesting," Lilith said as she moved father back away from Jade…
"Jade thanks… I owe you," Musa said rubbing her neck as she placed her hand on Jades shoulder.
Jade turned her eyes of Lilith and glared at the hand, "Don't touch me… you used me to, you all used me…" and with that she lost control again her powers ripping from her body… they would all die... they all hurt her so they would all die…
