Alright. Here is chapter 3! And I must warn you...this chapter isn't going to be pretty. It will show one of the kids getting one of their mental scars. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.
Ember was training with her best friend, Paige. They were both in an arena and dueling with swords. Ember seemed to be overdoing her best friend.
"Come on Paige! Pick up the pace". Ember encouraged.
Paige kept up with Ember and tried to fight her back, only for Ember to turn it around. "It's hard, your always so aggressive"! Paige complained.
Ember sighed. "No, its cause your always so timid, put a little backbone into it and you'll do fine". Ember tried to encourage.
"Backbone huh"? Paige asked, before racing forward and swinging at Ember.
"There we go"! Ember cheered while trying to fight against her friends assault.
Ember finally twirled her sword around and knocked Paige in the gut, causing her to stumble back into a weapon rack, which began to fall.
"Paige"! Ember shouted in fear, racing forward to try and save her friend.
Paige looked up and tried to get up, only to find she couldn't, she looked and saw that the rack had her foot pinned. "Oh no"!
Ember's eyes shifted to a pinkish color as she held her hand out. "I'm coming Paige"! She roared as she suddenly raced forward in a warp, and tackled Paige out of the way as the weapon rack fell.
Ember panted as her eyes went back to normal. "You alright"? She asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine". Paige assured as they got up, "What was that? How did you move so fast"? Paige asked.
"I...don't know, I think it was my Semblance". Ember said while checking her hands..
"Your Semblance? You mean you finally got it"? Paige asked.
"I do believe so". Ember said with a grin. "Want to test it"? She asked, grin still in place.
"Let's...try it later, I think we both need a rest after that close call". Paige dismissed.
"Yeah, your right". Ember agrees, before they headed out of the arena.
Semblance: Space Manipulation.
Garnet walked alongside a teen as they entered some crypt.
"So, this is where the disturbance is, right"? The teen asked.
"Yeah, ready to go Leon"? Garnet asked.
"You know it". Leon agrees.
Leon had deep blue hair with wine red eyes, he wore some black armor with a Blindfold over his eyes, hiding them, Garnet wearing the same Armor.
The two slowly headed down, Garnet having his scythe, while Leon had two blades in his hands.
"Anything"? Garnet asks.
"Up ahead". Leon responded.
The two hid and peeked in, seeing what their problem was.
"A Necromancer". Garnet hissed.
"Yeah, should we take him out"? Leon asks.
"We were sent to take it out, so we take him out". Garnet answered.
"Got it". Leon said, before the two vanished into Mist and appeared in the room.
"Hold it"! Garnet shouted, his scythe aimed.
The Necromancer turned and glared. "Of course, I should have known someone would have sent the Revenants, but I didn't expect them to send...children". He said in a mocking tone.
The two growled.
Leon raced forward and swung his blades, only for the Necromancer to block them with his staff and knock him back. "I don't have time for you two". He said before summoning undead minions.
Garnet twirled his scythe and swung it in a huge arc, slicing multiple in half by the waist. Leon vanished into Mist and reappeared, slashing at a minion, only to vanish and repeat the process, being a ghost in the battlefield.
Garnet turned to the Necromancer who growled.
"I'm sick of you brats! I'm not going to deal with you two". He snaps before his hands glowed with a dark energy.
The two were about to attack when a huge hand burst from the ground, causing the two to step back.
What crawled out of the ground was an undead abomination, it's eyes glowing red and its body covered in weapons that had pierced it in life.
The two stepped back slightly.
"Garnet..should we"? Leon asked nervously.
"We can't let him continue". Garnet responded, giving Leon a determined look.
Leon nodded with a grin. "Alright! Let's waste this rotting sack"! Leon shouted before leaping at the abomination.
Garnet raced after him and swung his scythe at the creature, which blocked it and punched Garnet away. Before attempting to hit Leon, who was too fast for it to attack.
"You alright Garnet"? Leon asked, slicing into the creature.
"Yeah! Just took a punch". Garnet said before getting up and going at it again.
The creature swung a fist at Garnet again, only for him to duck under it and glow blue and form a huge hammer in his hands, before swinging it in mid air, hitting the creature with a painful shockwave. The creature shrieked and tried to go for Leon, who stopped briefly to catch his breath.
Garnet threw a blue burning chain, which wrapped around the creature's arm. "Get Over here"! Garnet roars before tearing the creatures arm off.
The creature shrieked and turned to Garnet with hate in its eyes, before it channeled something in its remaining arm, a dark red energy forming in its palm.
"Garnet! Move"! Leon shouts, getting some distance.
Garnet was about to move, when the creature shot it. Garnet put his hammer up in defense, which clashed against the painfully hot energy that fired at it, Garnet grimaced and cried out in pain, before the attack reflected and knocked Garnet to the ground, unable to fully negate it. He looked and paled. "Leon! Move"! Garnet shouted.
Leon turned, just in time for the energy to pierce his chest, a tense silence passed, before Leon fell to his back, dead.
"LEON"! Garnet roared before racing over, the creature kneeling to recover.
Garnet raced over and held Leon up, his blindfold having fell off, lifeless red eyes staring into his own.
"N-No...". Garnet cried, tears starting to stream. Then something inside him...
Something inside him broke.
"NOOO"! Garnet roared, a black voidless energy shooting from his arms and eyes as he mourned his friends death.
The creature got up, and stared at Garnet, who slowly got up. Garnet looked at the creature and let out a beastly howl, before flinging an unconcentrated glop of the energy at the monster, it was hit and roared as it was disintegrated instantly, an explosion following.
Garnet ignored it, he ignored everything as he slung more of the glops around, explosions and areas wiped from reality in his grief.
Leon's body was laying lifeless on the ground, before an explosion hit him, and disintegrated him...unable to be properly buried and mourned.
"WHY"?! Garnet shrieked as he collapsed on the ground in sorrow.
1 hour later.
Garnet stood on a hill, and observed with dull silver eyes at what he saw.
Nothing, simple as that, Garnet's rampage had destroyed the area, no landmarks, no leftovers...nothing. Garnet looked down and saw the impromptu grave he left for Leon, Leon's blindfold on it.
"Goodbye...friend". Garnet said before teleporting away.
...
Someone walked to the grave, a girl about the same age as Garnet, she slowly collapsed as she stared at the blindfold.
"B-Brother...no". She whimpered.
She slowly picked the blindfold up, her eyes filled with sorrow, and after a few seconds, unbridled rage.
"Rose...you failed him...and you failed me". She growled before shouting to the heavens.
"I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS"!
Semblance: Antimatter Manipulation.
To be continued.
Honestly...I had to put this into two parts, the other 3 have just as long things, and I didn't want to keep you guys waiting so long. Also Paige, does NOT belong to me, she belongs to a good friend and a fellow Author. I cannot give her true identity or appearance, just know...you'll see her later. Also yes, Garnet's Semblance is THAT Antimatter. This is one of the many things that causes Garnet to develop an emotional disturbance. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
