A/N "Isaac stops Beck just in the Nick of time before he can attack Daniel, what will arise from this second confrontation?"

Chapter 37: Public Enemy

Whitefish Lake State Park, 5:30pm

Giant earth arms shot out and went towards Beck, Beck had no idea Isaac was tailing until his technique caught him. Isaac's Earth hands grabbed and held Beck in place. With Beck held firmly in place, Isaac commenced with lifting an earth bridge created from the lake floor to cross and reach Beck. Beck wonders where these giant earth hands came from or who created them, he struggled with all his might to free himself. The more he struggled the more the hands squeezed him tighter, Isaac walks up closer to Beck, now Beck saw who it was that stopped him.

"Forgive me Beck, I had to stop you from attacking Daniel. I was tracking you from the moment you left the Chateau, you were really angry."

"And I'm still angry! Let me loose…get these damn hands off me NOW!" shouted Beck.

Daniel smirked, he recognized the other person who was restraining Beck, he knew very well what Isaac was capable of, just like he knew what Beck was capable of as well.

"This has gotten real interesting," Daniel said in a cunning manner, "Guess I should cover myself, Water Art! Frozen Pale Mist!" Daniel placed two hands on the surface of the water, creating a large pale Mist that covered him and the area around him.

"I have to hand it to you Beck…pairing up with Isaac the Golem, you sure know who to go to fight your battles."

"I DON'T NEED ANYONE TO HELP ME KILL YOU DANIEL! ISAAC LET ME GO!" Beck Demanded of his Battle partner.

"No Beck!" Replied Isaac, "NO!? He Destroyed my and Tori's Home!"

"That home was never yours Beck, That Home is Mine…just like Tori. You, Isaac and I imagine his girlfriend Ellie are mere squatters! 20 years Beck…give Tori twenty years of your life and tell me if you'll still love her then. I gave her twenty years of my life and I still love her, it wasn't that I was falling out of love with her, I was growing tired of everything that came with being a Mixed Blood…what good is living forever if we're denied the simplest of all pleasures…but like I said to you, She gave it to you entirely. She was always denying me that most sensual pleasurable part of her, But I still don't know if the loss of her Virginity to you will be much of heartbreak to you, than it is to lose her to me."

"You're never getting your hands on Tori! Never! Do you even know what she thinks of you!? SHE HATES YOU!"

"Beck calm down…words like that won't get through him, not as long as he's alive."

"What do you mean?" Beck asked him.

"I mean that I know who he is also, His Name as you know is Daniel. He is a Mixed Blood who has aligned himself with The Sidney Full Blood Coven of Montana, the largest Territory the Full Bloods have here In this state. He's wanted Dead or Alive by James and Trina, he's responsible for the many deaths and disappearances of Elemental girls."

"Disappearances?" Beck said, a bit confused.

"You see Beck, when Sikowitz cured me, my first task was to locate Tori, years went on without any luck. I couldn't find her and so I settled down in that Chateau you all are currently living in, I was Alone…really Alone, so why not go out and find a companion; someone to spend the night with."

"You son of a Bit-"

"But I know all about you Beck…yeah I know so much about you! You were to damn weak to make friends, you never even tried…you'll never know what's it's like to struggle unless you're in my shoes, unless you lived my life. Twenty years, crossing continents, giving yourself to random families…all to find true Love…you're little sad high school life doesn't even come close to being marked as Sad."

Beck went quiet, perhaps Daniel had a point, maybe he would never know what it's like to go beyond one's limit to find someone he loved. Beck closed his eyes and turned the other cheek, Isaac smirked and thwacked Beck on his forehead.

"Hey!"

"Beck…don't let that piece of shit get to you, I seen how much Tori is in love with you, Daniel only speaks out of anger and jealousy, anger because his "Long Journey" kept him from getting who he wanted…and Jealousy because he's no longer wanted anymore."

As Isaac spoke, he was carefully making a cylindrical prison of quicksand under Daniel's feet, he couldn't see him because of the mist, but minerals from the lake floor that floated up and attached themselves to Daniel's shoes; making it easy for Isaac to track him. As Daniel was about to make a run for it, his leg got stuck. Quicksand had formed under his feet and was trying to take him down.

"Isaac You son of a bitch, making a prison of quicksand to trap me? It's no wonder you're a Golem so many Full Blood fear, you're not stubborn or ignorant…but a genius."

The quick sand was getting stronger in it's pull until it finally tugged Daniel down, Once inside, the sand that Isaac was manipulating was trying to utterly trying to crush him. Daniel was to strong for it though, with all of his might; He teleported out of the prison. Beck was still screaming at Isaac to let him go free, Isaac ignored his battle partner to deal with Daniel on his own. He stomped on the ground with his right foot to create multiple earth hands from the lake floor to grab and immobilize Daniel.

Daniel wasn't having it, he thickened the mist and expanded it to the entire lake now. Isaac did his best to control his arms and hands, they swung and swatted blindly in the mist, hoping they could hit Daniel. Beck wanted his shot at Daniel, and no one not even Isaac was going to get in his away. The vortex of hot burning air surrounded Beck again, from just pure rage he broke out of Isaac's technique. Isaac couldn't believe it, even when he was feeding his own energy to his technique, Beck still broke out of it. Isaac had no time to make another earth hand, instead he would help Beck.

"Beck…I'm gonna fan this mist with the earth hands….when you see Daniel…Finish him!"

The large earth hands began to fan the air, causing the mist to lift and disappear. Beck's Blood lights activated, with the heightened eyesight and senses, he located an exposed arm of Daniel, with his left eye…he severed it. There was a loud scream of pain and anguish deep in the mist, something had fallen into the water. Isaac undid his earth hands and fell on one knee, he was tired and spent from using such high level Arts. Daniel landed on the surface of the water covering his severed bleeding arm. Beck smirked at him, about to laugh when Isaac told him to finish him.

"No…I don't want to kill him now…you got in my way Isaac. When the time comes again, and I know it will…me and Daniel will see who's truly entitled to having Tori. Did you hear me Daniel! When no one else is around! It's just you and Me!"

Daniel smirked and laughed, laughed like a mad man, out loud like he was sure of what Beck was promising was to come true.

"Well Isaac…it seems like you failed at trying to capture me…again, maybe Beck here will prove to be a much better challenge. This is goodbye for now…until then, Watch your backs."

With those last few words to them both, Daniel teleported out of the area, perhaps returning back to the Full Bloods. Beck punched his fist into his hand and smirked, the sun was coming up, he went and grabbed the blood bottles he had collected.

"Sun's almost up Isaac…time to go, oh that's right…the sun doesn't affect you like it does to me and Tori. I guess if you followed me here…you can follow me back home. See you back home Isaac."

Beck took off quickly, leaving Isaac to gather his thoughts and energy, "Beck…a Mixed Blood…Daniel…Mixed blood…doing battle. Why does it seem familiar , why do I sense it will not be their only battle."

Isaac lifted himself and began walking, just as the sun rose over the horizon.
