Chapter 12
"What'staking her so long?" asked Pain curiously. "Can we kill them both?"
"An interesting question. Both questions. I believe the Professor is attempting a telepathic link with the girl in order to--"
WHAM
Death actually keeled over, kicked in the stomach.
"Free me?" Bubbles asked. There was rage in her eyes.
"Kill the girl!" snarled Death, getting off the floor.
They weren't paying attention to one man: Professor Utonium. He snuck down the stairs, heading for his lab.
God... he thought. I just hope that she can distract them long enough...
"Surprised to see me?" asked the other Blossom.
"No..." Brent muttered to himself. "This...you can't be real..."
"We are," Blaze said. "Brother." Blaze floated up and hugged Brent, who screamed, pushing him away.
"Get away you damn monster! I don't know how...how you've gotten out, but...I'll kill you, damnit!" Brent screamed.
Blossom just sat there, in absolute shock.
"Isn't he cute?" Ice Blossom said. "Acting all tough like that? Right, me?"
Blossom was silent. She got up, and glared at the Ice.
"Shut the Hell up," she said. "I'm going to kick you're sorry asses back to Hell."
"Sassy mouth!" Blaze said, laughing. "I'd like to see it burn to ash..."
Brent and Blossom looked at the two maniacs they'd created, and began to fight.
Brent soared through the air, trying to kick Blaze in a desperate attempt, but missing entirely, smashing into the wall. Blaze held out his hand to unleash fire, but Brent did a roll to avoid it.
Blossom wasn't fairing too well either. She was dodging attack after attack from her alternate soul. Ice Blossom stared coldly, slicing the air around Blossom.
"You know what it's like to have to share a body?!?" she screamed. "Damn hard! But thanks to you, I've got a body of my own!" she shouted, continuing her raging attacks. Blossom was being cornered, but she had studied strategy well. She flew under Ice Blossom quickly, and kicked her straight in the back.
"I hate you!" she screamed, punching her. "I hate everything you've ever done to me and my family! I HATE YOU!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, kicking the demon in the head. Its eyes closed, she was either unconscious or dead. She was free to help Brent with the fight of his own.
"You cannot escape me!" Blaze yelled. "I am your past! I am your present! And I am your future!" he said, kicking Brent in the stomach. Brent fell to the ground.
"Now to finish the job!" Blaze screamed, his hand beginning to burn. Before he could hit, however, Blossom grabbed Brent with ease.
"You OK?"
"Yeah. Let's kick some--"
There was a loud pounding sound as Blaze punched Brent in the mouth, shooting him back.
Blossom heard an angry groan. She turned around only to discover Ice Blossom, getting up off the floor. She didn't look scratched whatsoever.
How can we kill these things? It's like they have unlimited power...but why? The answer was suddenly apparent.
"Kill me. I dare you." Blossom said.
The Ice stared at her.
"What?"
"I said kill me. Take your sword, and stab it through my chest."
"Gladly."
The Ice took off, her ice sword positioned straight at the heart. The sword went through Blossom. And so did the Ice. But Blossom wasn't affected whatsoever.
"You're a fear? A part of me? You can only hurt me if I give you power. And I've denied you it."
Brent got up out of the virtual crater he was knocked in.
Blaze began to back away.
"What are you afraid of?" Brent asked. "Me? I thought you were supposed to be the powerful one...or was I wrong?"
Blaze grabbed his head and began to scream. A shrill, unholy scream that filled the chamber, and Ice Blossom's voice soon joined the hellish chorus.
There was an explosion of light, and they were dead. They were finally dead.
It was over. Blossom grabbed the gem she had dropped, and began to lift it to her forehead.
"Wish me good luck," Blossom said.
"I do."
The crystal made contact with her forehead, and there was an explosion of light.
