'Serena…Momiji….Do you remember when we first met? Do you remember how alone we all felt? Like we had been abandoned by our families, like we were trash, freaks, garbage thrown into the wind to be forgotten…In that house…Abby, Sarah, Blake, Alana, we became a family…we found our place….we weren't alone anymore…do you remember?'
"Herm….Hermi…" someone was calling out to her, calling her name but she couldn't hear the wind around her was blocking his voice. "Herm….ione!"
She opened her eyes, Daniel was leaning over her, waist deep in water. He put his hand to her forehead, "Are….you…..okay!" he had to scream for her to hear him the wind roared around them.
She looked over his shoulder to where Momiji and Serena had stood; a large vortex had encircled her two friends. "How long….."
"A few minutes now," Daniel yelled. "Come we have to get out of here." He wrapped her arm around his shoulder and stood pulling her with him. She cringed from the pain in her thigh, it wasn't bleeding anymore and she could tell it was healing but it still hurt. "You passes out...it's been like this for ten minutes."
Hermione smiled, "I see they've decided to not hold back."
"What?"
"Momiji's using all her new powers and Serena's using all of hers as well….her Vampire blood and her slayer blood has awakened inside of her," Hermione glanced over her shoulder at the swirling vortex as Daniel pulled her into the house as her vision went black again.
Valencia stood from the stool she had been occupying at her husband's bedside, she had felt the surge in power from above them, and she could sense the bitter anger and hatred. "My love….is it…?"
Valencia nodded without looking at her husband, "Yes…Serena's up there…Hermione as well."
She heard her husband chuckle, "Are you concerned my dearest?"
Valencia didn't respond, but from his bed Kreon saw his wife's tense shoulders, and her hands clench.
Darien ducked as a loose door broke off of it hinges and flew towards him. The wind around him was strong, tornado like; he couldn't hear anything and his sense of smell was completely worthless. But he could sense Serena,the closer he got to the source of the powerful winds the stronger her presence was. He stumbled into a large room attempting to take shelter before trying to reach her again.
"Darien," he swung around ready for an attacker; Rei emerged from the shadows the winds blowing her dress and hair around her. Behind her silhouette he saw young woman crouching for safety, her arms holding onto a small child with honey colored eyes.
"Darien they're..." he could see Rei yelling but he could barely hear her, he raised his hands around his ears. "Rip the house apart!"
He took a step towards her; there was a large cracking sound from above them, both looking up they saw the ceiling split, large pieces of the house was ripped away exposing everyone in the room to the elements. Above them the sky was a mass of swirling grey clouds and lighting. "We need to get them out of here, they're going to kill everyone who's survived!"
"What do you suggest?" he yelled; large golf sized balls of hail began to rain down upon them. Rei let out a scream and covered her head, the woman behind Rei covered her daughter.
"Transport spell?" she screamed.
"No possible, you and I dont have enough power for that!"
"We could get Hermione and...Jadeite...Lita!"
"Hermione's been injured she might not be able to perform a spell like that," he yelled, he noticed that the temperature of the air was dropping steadily. He saw frost forming on the ground and he could see the heat from his breath in the air.
"I'll help her, me and Daniel. We need to take the chance if we don't then Momiji and Serena will kill everyone!"
A bolt of lightning shot from the sky into one of the remaining upper windows. Darien heard screams of panic and pain, looking back at Rei he nodded. He understood, there were innocent people suffering due to the salyers fighting, his people were in danger and as their Prince he couldnt ignore them."You find Daniel and Hermione I'll set up the barrier around the garden and get everyone evacuated," Rei said.
"Get someone to help you! There are still infected vampires roaming around," he glanced at the two huddling in the corner. "And get them down below there's more shelter."
Jadeite threw open the door to the underground shelter where many of the coven members were taking shelter, some sat comforting each other and nursing their wounds. Jadeite strode past them and attempted to not step on anyone as he went towards the medical wing. "Lita!" he yelled; he pushed aside the plastic and walked into a long room with several beds on either side of the wall. Bloodied and wrapped patients were lying on various beds in the ward. He saw Lita sitting next to a bed holding the hand of a patient with a bandaged head. Though the bandages were supposed to help they were soaked in blood and dripping, the man was losing too much blood and Lita was only there to ensure that he didnt die alone.
"Lita?"
She looked up as he approached, "Ami said….she said it won't be long now and I told her that I'd stay with him…until he passed." She paused and put his hand down on the bed next to him, "I haven't felt his heart beat for a while now…but I couldn't force myself to abandon him just yet." She touched his forehead and then looked up at Jadeite. "What is it?"
"Rei needs us, she's going to try to transport Momiji and Serena away from here so they don't endanger any more of the survivors."
"The Princess should not attempt such a spell," Louis said as he entered the room. He had rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, the white apron he was wearing was soaked in blood.
"And why is that?" asked Lita.
"The binding potion that Lenobia gave her could severely damage her spirit if she attempts such strong magic so soon after the effects have worn off."
"What would you suggest, you hear them up there, they're going to rip this house apart and there are people up there who are hurt, exposed people who we need to think about," Lita said.
"She will have Hermione and Daniel assisting her," Jadeite told him.
"Even with the young Prince's help there is still risk…"
"But Hermione's power…."
"Is as unstable as Rei's right now….the Right of Delphi is not a quick and easy process, Hermione has used much of her spiritual energy already while keeping Momiji at bay, using more of it could injure her as well."
Lita exchanged glances with Jadeite, "There's no choice we have to protect the coven." She pulled the sheet over the young vampires face and took several steps past Louis.
Louis spoke again before she reached the door, "Your concern for your coven is part of the reason why you and your sister will never reconcile your differences….The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one in your eyes, while your sister recognizes that one single man may be the difference to tip the scales."
"My family…is my coven….and I will…."
"Protect them with your life?" Louis looked over his shoulder at her, "You forget that Hermione is also family, that no matter how different you are you're blood is still the same."
Lita glared at him before leaving him. "Jadeite," Louis said. Jadeite turned around and looked at him, "We did try to keep her away from here."
Jadeite said nothing then disappeared through the doorway.
Momiji glared over a Serena; she stood her blue eyes like ice staring into Momiji's green ones. They hadn't spoken since they had begun their battle, nothing really needed to be said in Momiji's opinion. As she watched Serena she was a little impressed, her new Vampiric blood had made her faster and stronger. She was able to think quicker as well, she was able to block and counter many of Momiji's moved by just reading her body language. She had also been able to send several large fireballs at Momiji, which she had not been able to dodge. Serena had burned her left ankle and her left palm with her fire.
Momiji inwardly smiled, a long time ago she remembered when Serena was only able to produce a small flame once a day. She also remembered when Hermione would be sleep for almost 14 hours after every vision, and how she herself was only able to use her power for a span of three minutes. Now Serena could create as much fire as she needed, Hermione could see visions more than once a day, and she could hold use her eyes for three days, four if she pushed herself. She saw Serena making hand symbols and she felt the wind around them pick up speed. She wondered how Long Serena could possess someone now.
Realizing that she was reminiscing she shook her head and clasped her hands together, she concentrated and drew her finger tips apart. Black electricity sparked from the tips, holding out her hands she let the power gather, she curled her fingers and then ran at Serena with full force.
Daniel turned his back to the pieces of wood and metal that had come flying towards him. He held Hermione tightly in his arms, "Damn it." He turned, running down the hallway the wind rushed through the narrowed passage and pushed against him. He was attempting to reach the underground tunnels where everyone was hiding but it was proving rather difficult. Hermione had been unconscious since he had pulled her from the water, she had not moved and her breaths were slow and shallow. He looked down at her and noticed that the cut that was on her head was actually healing despite it having only been made about an forty minutes ago. He kicked opened a door and stumbled into a conference room; shutting the door with his foot he laid Hermione gently on the table. He lifted the hem of her dress and saw that the abrasion on her leg was almost completely healed. Touching her skin he could feel the heat of her skin, it was extremely high even for a non human, and he knew that it could mean danger for her body.
"Hermione…" he whispered.
Suddenly the door behind him flew open and the strong wind rushed inside around them. Daniel threw himself over Hermione and covered his head. The door was thrown shut it and the sounds muffled. Daniel stood up, "Darien…I need to find Ami Hermione's…"
"Running a fever…yes I know, it's because of the Rite of Delphi, she's not completely healed yet and she's already using her new powers…"
"Darien! She could be killing herself, we have to get her to Ami right now!" Daniel moved to pick her up again, but was stopped by Darien's hand. Daniel looked up at his brother and saw the dark look in his eyes.
"I need you to listen to me right now little brother, what I am about to ask you to do is going to put Hermione in grave danger, her body and her soul may be damaged after this….however I need you to understand how important this is."
"Darien…" Daniels voice came out in a desperate whisper, as if he was already asking Darien not to request something so harmful of his lover.
"Rei is going to need you and Hermione's help to perform a transportation spell, she's going to send Momiji and Serena somewhere where they can't do damage to those around them," Darien said.
"Hermione's not strong enough, Momiji almost killed her…" Darien saw Daniel hands grip the edge of the table. "I won't let you…"
"I'll do it," Hermione's weak voice came from the table. Both men looked over at her, her eyes were still closed but her chest was rising and falling, she was taking deep breaths. "I'll help Rei."
"Hermione you can't…" Daniel said.
Hermione sat up, "Don't tell me what I can and cannot do." Hermione looked at Daniel, "I took the Rites, I am a Priestess of Delphi and I took a vow to protect the greater good with my life. Now help me off of this table or get out of the way so Darien can."
Daniel clenched his jaw and then held out his hand to her, "I promised that I would…."
She slid from the table and put both hands on his shoulders to steady him, "I need you to keep that promise now." Daniel looked into her dark eyes and then nodded, Hermione squeezed his shoulders in reassurance then turned to Darien. "Take us to Rei."
Jadeite took the large metal stake and plunged it into the ground. He used all of his strength to push it deep enough into the ground so that it would stand against the wind, however he wasn't sure that it would last long. He looked up at the swirling tornado around Momiji and Serena, he heard a loud cracking sound, looking down he saw a several large fissures in the ground spiraling outwards away from the fighters, the force of the wind was becoming stronger. Jadeite stared, they only had a little time left.
He looked over at Lita saw her stab an identical stake into the ground, she stood and nodded at him, suddenly her face changed and he saw panic in her eyes. She screamed his name and pointed towards the house. Jadeite looked up and saw Rei chanting, eyes closed, her back to the house. Behind her was a tall female infected Vampire, her hair was pure white, her skin blue, and her eyes blazing red; on the left side of her face were three large scratch marks from the ear to her mouth.
"Rei!" Jadeite yelled, but his voice was lost. He was about to move when the creature suddenly reached out; her hand burst through Rei's stomach. Rei's eyes flew open, she stood in shock as if she was trying to reconcile what had happened. She looked down at the bloody hands protruding from her stomach. Jadeite saw as blood began running down the sides of her mouth, she swallowed and tried to speak.
The creature opened its mouth, he could hear it's muffled howl despite the wind. He took a faltering step forward and saw Lita appear behind the infected woman. She grabbed her by the neck and pulled her away from Rei throwing her into the house. Jadeite was at Rei's side instantaneously, he caught her right as she was about to fall to the ground.
"Rei….we have to…."
She grasped his shoulder, her grip strong despite her blood loss and wound. "We have…to complete it!"
"Rei you're dy…."
She stared into her husband's eyes, "We have to complete it."
"Rei, Jadeite!" They both looked up, Darien was carrying Hermione, and Daniel was staring at the damage Momiji and Serena were causing, while trying to cover his head. "We don't…" Darien stilled at the sight before him.
"We need to do this now!" Lita's strong voice cut in above the wind. She looked down at Rei, who nodded and then tried to stand.
"Rei…"
"Jadeite my love….don't fight my last move…" she said, she gripped his shoulder and used him to help her stand. He stared into her eyes and prayed to the gods that she would live, knowing that hope was fading with every moment.
He nodded, "Hermione," she opened her eyes and looked at the blonde General. "You stand here next to Rei, Daniel you and Lita stand on either side of them and use the spell." Jadeite wrapped his arm around Rei's, his arm was quickly becoming soaked in her blood.
Darien set Hermione down on her feet and stood behind her, he steadied her and was about to step away when she grabbed his hand. He felt her telepathically touch his mind, after she was done speaking Darien closed his eyes momentarily and then nodded, he would do what she had asked.
The wind suddenly slowed and died, for a moment silence engulfed the group.
"Vorax Flamma!" Flames surrounded Momiji and spun around her like a cocoon. Serena dropped to her knees panting. She looked down and saw her hands shaking, she had used most of her energy to keep up with Momiji's speed. Serena let out a breath and looked up, swirling dark clouds hovered around them and every so often a streak of lightning lit the sky. Ever since their battle had begun Momiji had been changing the weather, rapidly the wind would change, the temperature would drop, and the storm would rage. Despite the changing conditions around them Momiji had never acknowledged them, Serena wondered if she had even noticed what she was doing.
Serena shook her head and ran her hand over her face, she knew her time was drawing short, she felt her energy draining, and despite everything she only felt Momiji's growing. Serena felt warm liquid trickle down her arm, she moved the sleeve of her shirt and examined the cut; Momiji had sent forgotten shards of glass flying at her when the wind had surprised her.
"Aequalite," she whispered, the tips of her fingers grew hot; she touched the wound ran her fingers over the torn flesh, the heat cauterized the gash and stopped the bleeding. She looked up and saw the cocoon around Momiji begin to expand and falter. Serena closed her eyes, realizing she only had a few seconds left until Momiji broke through she tried to mentally prepare herself.
"Serena!"she looked up and saw the others standing staring at her, Darien looking at her from over Hermione's shoulder.
Serena looked back at Momiji's temporary prision, "Get them out of here she's only growing stronger!"
'Serena' his voice echoed through her mind. 'Your battle is becoming increasingly dangerous, Rei is going to lead a transportation spell, she's going to send you both somewhere where you can't do damage or hurt anymore bystanders.'
Serena looked at him and then back at the cocoon holding Momiji. 'Just hurry it up!'
The flames surrounding her opponent suddenly expanded and then died. Momiji stood before her again, anger reflecting in her eyes; Serena saw only her reflection in the green depths, Momiji had never even taken notice of the others.
Somewhere in the back of her consciousness she heard Daniel speaking some language, she recognized it by briefly picking up strands of words, it was Latin. Serena stood and faced Momiji, she had to buy them some time. Serena pulled her hands inwards and then thrust them forwards, a large wave of fire burst towards Momiji.
Momiji held out her hands and mimicked the same movement as Serena had done, a wave of black fire crashed into Serena's and killed it. Momiji however had done was Serena had wanted, using the distraction Serena ran at Momiji her hands engulfed in red flames. Momiji held up and arm to block the blow; Serena spun and attempted a roundhouse kick at Momiji; Momiji ducked and then flipped backwards. When she was once again on her feet her hands too were covered with black flames.
"You've learned to use that quicker now," Serena said. Momiji's bangs were covering her eyes but she knew her former friend was glaring at her. "I guess I shouldn't have expected anything less from someone like Sophia. Did she exploit your gift from the moment she found out about it, or did she pretend to care about your development before?"
Serena watched as Momiji tightened her hands and her stance tensed. She glanced at Hermione and Rei, who had joined hands and were now chanting, while Daniel whispered the spell, and Darien held Hermione steadfast, every so often glancing at Rei. Lita and Jadeite had their eyes closed and Serena could almost see them trying to will Hermione and Rei their strength.
"Don't get distracted by mice!" screamed Momiji. She brought a kick down aimed at Serena's head. Serena locked her arms and blocked it, throwing Momiji backwards. "If your concern is for their safety done worry, I'll send all of them into the afterlife right behind you."
"I think you're getting a little cocky Mo, didn't Abby always tell us that a battle isn't over till it's over," Serna smiled at her.
"Don't say that name in my presence." Momiji thrust her hand out and shot another gush of fire at Serena.
"Why afraid of your old mentor coming back to haunt you?"
"I hate that bitch….she was the reason my family was ripped apart…she stole me from my mother…" Momiji said sending wave after wave and taking a step closer to Serena. "I don't know why you idolize her so much anyways Serena….she's the reason that your mother gave you away."
Serena's defense faltered. "She blackmailed your mother into giving you up, made it impossible for Elena to get any help from any coven, and ensured that they were always in danger from her own coven in order secure her custody over you."
Serena looked up at Momiji. 'Don't listen' Hermione's voice was a whisper.
"You're hero was in essence your greatest enemy, she destroyed not only your family, but mine, and Hermione's as well," Momiji and Serena both looked over at Hermione. "You hear me Hermione, you weren't left out either."
Hermione opened her eyes and glared at Momiji, "Don't listen to her Serena, Sophia filled her head with lies and tricks."
"Oh tricks eh….who do you think made your father so crazy that night?"
Hermione's eyes snapped up, "Oh yes, your father was a drunk and a miserable man after your sister died but did you really never question Abby's explanation? She was just there in the right place at the right time? Please….your dearest teacher….gave him a little push….so in essence she killed your mother!"
Hermione glared at her, "How does that feel knowing that the person who you loved and trusted, your teacher and mentor was really responsible for all of our pains, all of our loneliness….how does it make you feel!" She pointed her hands at Hermione and sent another wave of fire at her and the others in the group.
"No!" Serena reached out her hand and used her own fire to encircle the others and create a barrier around them.
"It's time!" Serena heard Rei's voice. "Prepare yourself Serena…" the ground beneath them began to shake and there were loud cracking sounds. Serena fell to her knees and steadied herself.
"What are you doing!" demanded Momiji.
Hermione's voice rang out around them,
"De isto loco ubi fiery potest, capiat. Tristitia, dolore, jactura tum communes. Recordatus loco ubi circulus claudit. Valeant."
The stakes around them began to glow white and from each one a line of light connected the three into a triangle. Within the triangle the gravity became so heavy that it forced Serena and Momiji to the ground.
"Stop!" Momiji tried to move her hands but the weight of the air wasn't allowing her.
"Hermione!"
Serena looked up and saw Darien push Hermione into the triangle right as the light around them brightened and blinded her.
Suddenly Serena was rolling on softer ground, it was dark around them, there was no longer the smell of blood and smoke, and it was silent save for the crashing sound of the waves against the shore. Serena pushed herself up onto her elbows and looked up. She spit gritty sand from her mouth and brushed some from her face. Looking around she recognized where they were; it was the same beach where Hermione and Serena had gone and danced drunk so many weeks ago. Ten feet from her on the left Hermione was collapsed on the ground, another ten feet to her right Momiji had sat up on her knees.
She brushed the sand off of her arms and chest, Momiji coughed several times and then looked over at Serena. Serena saw Momiji's eyes and felt her blood go cold, they were no longer the normal green; Momiji's eyes were now a softly glowing, around the iris' was a silver circle that was slowly rotating, within the circle a six pointed silver star spun in the opposite direction.
Serena swallowed, she had only seen Momiji's eyes in this state twice before. Once while training and once while they had been in the field and their lives had been in serious danger. She had only been able to hold the technique for three minutes before, but their battle proved that Momiji had mastered her power. Ever since finding out about Momiji's power Serena had feared it.
"Are you scared?"
"Of those eyes? You know I am," said Serena.
Momiji smiled, "It's been a long time since you've seen my Mira no Shikai." (Mirror sight)
"Yeah," Serena nodded. "The ability to mirror your opponents fighting techniques, copy their spells, analyze their movements in seconds, who wouldn't be afraid of that." Momiji had inherited her eyes, they were her most dangerous and most difficult power, having mastered it only proved how much stronger Momiji was then either Serena or Hermione.
When they were younger her eyes had simply given her the best sight and the ability to see targets from buildings away. As they had gotten older she was able to absorb information as rapid speed, memorize faces, hand combinations, spells, and the written word in seconds. However using her power usually drained her for most of the day, in practice. When she had used her eyes in battle she had been in a coma for two days recovering, the amount of information she was absorbing at once could overload her brain, and it took massive amounts of control and energy. Before they had all separated Momiji had only been able to use it sparingly and she hadn't been able to use it to its full potential, Sophia had changed that.
Serena swallowed, Momiji had control over her Shikai now and with it she had stolen many new powers from many victims. Sophia had made her even more dangerous than the infected Vampires.
