Water flew up like floating rivers, seizing hold of the chain and freezing it, as the roof rumbled underneath them.
Fire scorched the suit, and more water froze his legs steadfastly to the ground.
It seemed Bishop wasn't going down that easy, though…
The chain shattered ice, and the end smacked Izzy across the face.
Falling back from the force, she felt blood drip down to her chin.
Angie tried to strike him in retaliation, but her blade was caught by the metal chain and pulled forward.
Trying to keep her balance, the sky-masked turtle was caught on the chin by an uppercut.
Flying back, she wiped blood from her split lip…
Z and Lily struck at the same moment, but the Earthbender was kicked back as the violet-masked turtle was grabbed roughly by the arm.
The old fear of restriction bubbled up in her, and the she-turtle struggled.
"You won't escape me this time, my little experiment…"
He pulled her close, capturing her wrists in one iron-like hold as he put his mouth near her ear…
"You're mine, little flower…I have your innocence…"
Something cut through the air, and a bleeding wound appeared on Bishop's brow, pouring blood over his eye.
Taking the advantage of surprise, Lily managed to rip herself free of his hold and jump back.
Blue eyes followed the chain, finding Shadow at the other end…
"Sh-Shadow…"
"I won't let him take you." He promised, the chain snapping back to him, point glinting.
Both men faced each other, and the hate was almost a physical flame…
They were fighting for her, a duel to the death to sweep her away for themselves.
She so WANTED Shadow to win, but…
What if he lost?
What if he died?
The young Waterbender didn't think she could take that sort of pain…
Suddenly, they clashed, and she saw blood spilled.
'No…'
The two men broke apart, sizing each other up with glares…
"She's mine."
"She doesn't belong to anyone. Especially you!"
"She's my property! I OWN her!"
"She's not a pet you can just take!" Shadow seethed, rather frustrated.
"If I can not have her, then you can not live to have the chance!"
Another powerful crash, and Lily bit her lip until it bled…
'No, Shadow…NO…'
More blood, growls, sometimes shouts…
The other girls had gotten back on their feet by then, and watched.
Everyone was worried about the outcome…
Who would survive?
Deliver the killing stroke that would finish this?
Silence fell as a body hit the ground…
"SHADOW!!!"
Tears were in the violet-masked turtle's eyes, clouding her vision of everything but the motionless body…
An earth wall shot up, shielding the olive-toned turtle from Bishop.
She hadn't even realized he'd gotten so close…
Her mind was racing, throwing memories through her vision…
Happy memories that now made her heart, newly repaired, shatter into sharp pieces…
Made hot tears fall down her face to splash on her plastron…
Rock crumbled, and the agent took harsh hold of her mask tails, forcing eye contact.
"You're mine." He growled, giving into his dominate sex drive.
A harsh bite on her neck, and the young turtle cried out.
Fire roared, and Izzy leapt on the man's back, scorching his shoulders.
Both fell away, tussling.
The crimson-masked turtle ended up with the upper hand, and panted from the exertion.
"Stay 'way from my cousin…" She growled roughly, gold eyes fiery.
"Let me guess…Your mother is Kasai."
Eyes narrowed…
"So?"
"I remember her…She was mine before she ran off."
A snarl, and she pulled back her fist.
"Ya basturd-!"
"I would have chosen you, if your Firebending wasn't so dangerous…Lily seemed so much easier to break."
A harsh punch across the face, and Izzy was suppressing her rage…
"Ya f***ing asshole…"
Angie was running towards them, ready to keep her friend from killing someone.
Personally, she wanted to rip this guy apart herself…
Bishop was a slippery character though, and knocked the young Firebender into her older cousin.
Both fell hard, and shards of earth shot up, trying to skewer him.
Z wasn't going to let him get away THAT easily…
"Leave my family ALONE!"
Two boulders met on him, and the Earthbender panted…
That had taken too much energy…
Too much concentration…
Lily moved slowly over to Shadow, hands already aglow…
The gash over his heart seemed pretty bad, but she wasn't sure if it was fatal.
Blood smeared on her skin, mixing with the clear water…
"Lily, get outta 'ere!"
The warning came too late, and the violet-masked turtle was pulled back on her shell.
Fear swelled up in her, grabbing her by the throat…
Some soldiers had managed, somehow, to reach them, and held the other girls down.
Gabriel had gone to help the others before…
"You're my little turtle, MY little flower…"
He grabbed her wrist, and Lily flinched back…
"He doesn't deserve you…I'm better than he is!"
"No you're not!"
SLAP!!!
Everyone seemed stunned, especially Bishop…
Lily seemed to shaken, too full of emotion, to realize she'd just slapped the man who had raped her…
"You're NOT better than him!"
"Oh, really? Then why did I win?"
She was stubborn for once, and wasn't about to back down…
"He's a better person than you'll ever be…"
A hand wrapped around her throat, cutting off her air…
"I am your master! You're GOD! Don't speak to me like that!"
Her eyes were dimming, unconsciousness started to drift over her like fog…
"You…are a devil…haunting my nightmares…He…He's the angel…that saved me…"
"No more lies!"
Lily could barely breathe…
"Y-You…could t-take my b-body…but…m-my heart w-will never b-be yours…"
Obsession, madness, hate…
She could see them clearly as her mind drifted away like smoke…
'Shadow…'
A dark figure crept up behind Bishop…
Her vision was fading to black…
'I'm sorry…Shadow…'
