Chapter Eighteen- The Unholy Union Part Two: The Fear Eater, Enali
"When I wear the mask I am a machine, the purpose of which is consumption" -Unknown
Underground Bunker, New York
Enali ravenously ate through the heart, a dark aura forming over her. Her eyes glowed a deep Crimson as she swallowed each bite.
Andal pushed Naomi behind him.
"Stay back.." He whispered as slowly creeped towards Enali.
As Enali finished Ilane's heart, she looked up at Andal and Naomi, face void of almost any emotion.
"Enali, we are here to rescue you.. Do you understand.." He asked.
Enali's head tilted sideways as the dark aura burst outward causing the lights to flicker.
"The light.. The Darkness.. We are one in the same.."
Andal jumped back as Enali charged him.
"Shit she's fast"
Enali slammed her fist into the ground as Andal dodged once more.
"Go.." She said looking at both him and Naomi, "it's too late for me..."
Naomi looked at Andal then Enali.
"We need you to come back with us.."
Enali roared loudly as the dark energy pulsed causing the entire structure to shake.
"GO!" She yelled.
Enali glanced over her shoulder at the other Dark Guardians that were appearing.
"There's no end..." Enali muttered as she picked up her knife.
"Then we shall fight and die as one" Ilane's voice rang in her head.
Enali cracked her knuckle as she motioned for the guardians to come.
She pushed off with her left foot, charging in at a blindingly fast speed. She readied her knife as she slid under one guardian, cutting him at the ankle.
She turned, planting her foot into the back of his leg, sending him to his knees. Quickly, Enali drug the knife across the Dark Guardians throat, causing blood to spray.
She stood to her feet, bringing the blood soaked knife to her lips. Her tongue snaked across its blade, taking in the blood before an evil smile crossed her lips.
A guardian charged her, swinging a sword down towards her head. Enali side stepped to her right as she turned, bringing her knife around to connect to the base of the dark guardians skull.
"You ever seen the true light behind a blade dancer..?" She muttered as arc energy surrounded her body.
The dark guardians stepped back as she turned towards them, an evil menacing smile upon her face.
As she lifted her left foot, she disappeared in a flash of arc lightning. Each Dark guardian grasped their throats as blood sprayed around the room.
Enali appeared on the other side of the pack of guardians, twirling her knife on her right index finger, the evil smile still present.
"What has she become.." Andal whispered as he watched Enali mercilessly take each Dark Guardian down.
"I do not know, but we need to leave, NOW!" Naomi yelled.
It wasn't but a moment after she said this that Enali was upon them, covered in her entirety in blood, a dark aura looming over her.
"I warned you..." She said as she pointed the knife at them.
Naomi gulped. Enali was fast now, faster than she was before and this scared her.
"Your time has not yet come, but it will" she whispered, "and I will be the one to rid you of your light for what you have forced upon me"
Naomi shoved Andal through the door, hitting the button as she rolled under.
She leaned against the metal frame, breathing heavily. She looked at Andal, who for an Exo, looked really worried.
"What the fuck did you guys do.." She whispered as she began to type in pick up coordinates.
"We didn't intend for this to happen Naomi, she wasn't even supposed to meet Ilane until later"
Naomi grabbed Andal by his cloak, hoisting him into the air, a fire burning in her eyes.
"YOU GUYS SET THIS UP!" She yelled, "DO YOU NOT REALIZE EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK IT IS YOU HAVE JUST DONE!"
Andal looked down.
"Elias, grab the rest of Mjolnir and bring them aboard our ship. These idiots have just unleashed hell" Naomi said as she let Andal go, walking away.
Enali stood over a Dark Guardian that was still breathing. She knelt beside the female.
"Tell me.. Was it all worth it? Conspiring with my own family and friends?" She said as she stuck her finger into the females knife wound causing her to scream.
"WAS IT FUCKING WORTH IT YOU PIECE OF SHIT?!"
The building shuddered and Enali looked up, her finger still deep in the wound.
"It wasn't Evie who allowed this!" The female cried out.
Enali turned her gaze back to the female, her eyes narrowing.
"Explain.."
The female guardian took a deep breath as she tried to fight through the pain. She looked upon Enali's features with tears in her own eyes.
"I'm not even a Dark Guardian... Most of us weren't..." She whispered, "Andal set this up... He had been communicating with House Rouge and the Leader of Obelisk... Their plan was to ultimately have you killed by Ilane to procure your blood..."
Enali snarled at the female as she twisted her finger, pushing deeper into the wound of the guardian who screamed louder.
"Explain to me why I shouldn't waste you like I did the others!"
A gun touched the back of her head, the click signified it as a hand cannon. She turned her head slightly to see a warlock standing there, a sigil of a fallen house stitched into his robes.
"Because I said so.." The male warlock said as he gazed down at Enali and the female guardian.
"Who the fuck are you" Enali asked as she moved her free hand to her knife.
"Tenshi And the girl you have your finger in is my sister, so unless you want your brains splattered all over the ground, I suggest you move.."
Enali glared at Tenshi. Her eyes burned with anger at the fact that he though he could even do anything to her.
"Listen, Kell of Judgement, I had one mission here and so did she. To get your ass away from those people. You eating Ilane was simply a bonus" Feng said as he held the gun in her face.
"Brother, go.."
"Shut up Aisu" Tenshi said as he pressed the gun into her mouth, "Now, Enali, get your finger out of the knife wound and move away or I will not hesitate to put you down"
Enali removed her finger and stepped back, watching as Tenshi checked over his sister.
"Ariya, get Tai, Naomi, Saint, and Evie away from Andal and Elias" Tenshi called out over the com, "We have Enali here, but get prepared to blow the place"
Enali looked around at the dead bodies, her eyes wavering back and forth.
"What... Have I done.." She muttered as she looked upon the faces of young light bearers.
Tenshi grabbed Enali by the face, bringing her gaze to meet his. Her eyes shook with fear.
"Listen to me, get your shit under control or you will be put down, we did not come all this way to end up with an insane Hunter"
Enali stared into Tenshi's deep brown eyes and wondered why he continued to show her mercy.
"This is the Kell of House Light, all ships prepare to bombard my location"
"Your going to kill us?!" Enali screamed as she watched him help Aisu up.
"It was part of the plan.." He said as he placed his hand cannon back in its holster.
Enali glimpsed the etching of the manufacturers name. Tex Mechanica.
"The First Curse..." Tenshi said as he noted the other symbols on his bond and helmet.
"You were of House Rouge..."
"Yea and Xander was my best friend, now let's get the hell out of here before we actually die"
