Chapter 42: Chance at Redemption?

Antarctica, South Pole- Month of Darkness

Tori went at Daniel with everything she had in her, Daniel was quick and avoided all her slashes and potential lethal strikes and jabs. Beck was following all of their moves, he was waiting for Daniel to pull out that sword he had on his back, he wondered about it. Where on earth did he get such an item, it almost felt as if was whispering things to him. Tori was beginning to show signs of sweat anger, her fighting style was getting sloppy and desperate. She so terribly wanted to land some hits on her ex but he was just to damn fast and experienced.

"What's the Matter Daniel! Afraid to fight the girl you onced loved!? Fight Me!"

"Fight? Onced? My beloved Tori you are all that has kept me from rotting in this fucking world of Mixed and Full Bloods, no amount of blood from humans, elementals can compare the satisfaction I'm feeling right now. Just having you trying to attack me thrills me, please Tori…stop attacking…and let me show you my journey. Let me show you how much I have changed, what I have stored for us."

"SHUT UP! AND FIGHT!" shouted Tori, Daniel looked like was beginning to cry, that caught Tori off guard for an instant. Daniel used her lowered guard to strike her on her gut and get her on her knees.

"Tori!" cried out Beck, he went to go save her but Daniel pulled the great sword out from his scabbard and impaled it on the icy ground. Beck turned his right hand into his tradeark steel claws to strike his enemy.

"AAGH!" Beck grunted in pain, a barrier, an extremely powerful one blocked Beck from making contact with Daniel. Beck punched and kicked with all his might but got repelled each time by an invisible wall.

"You see this sword Beck, it belonged to Axel…The Full Blood King, brother of Excel. By the very command he gave this sword, no Mixed Blood or Elemental, no matter how powerful is allowed within ten feet of the one it has chosen. You see Beck, like Michael before me and Axel before him…IT HAS CHOSEN ME!"

"Even if you are their king…and I don't know how…I still have a present handed down to me from that side of the family, the right side of the family…I HAVE EXCEL'S BLOOD LIGHT EYES!"

Daniel smirked when Beck prepared to unleash all hell with those dangerous eyes, Beck went all out and imagined all kinds of horrible things happening to Daniel, However, something wasn't happening. None of the Right eye's special ability was affecting Daniel. Beck wondered why, he closed his right eyes and opened his left one, there above the sword's handle read Axel's name in bright burning red fire. It felt like the eyes would not effect anyone associated with the family and relatives of the ancient Kings.

"Attacking you…is like attacking the sword, which in turn is like attacking Axel…Excel…even he could not find it to harm his brother. Then this means…"

"What it means Beck is that as long as that sword is firmly in the ground…I can now have Tori all to my self…the way it should have been from the moment you two got off that train."

Daniel and Tori

Tori stood back up on her own two feet after being punched in the gut by Daniel, Daniel came closer to her and hugged her. Something about his Aura felt odd to Tori, it felt warm and inviting. Tori fought desperately to resist, but whatever Daniel had done felt like he went through the Underworld and Back to make things right. Daniel and Tori were enveloped in a pink like flame inside the barrier, Daniel looked into Tori's eyes and shared with her his entire life up to now.

As she saw his life before her own eyes, Beck was outside trying to smash the barrier with all his might. Nothing seemed to work, not his strength, not his speed and neither of his great punches. Is this really how he foresaw the end? He looked over a few ten miles away and saw his friends dealing with the other powerful Full bloods as best as they could. Ellie and Jenny did hand to hand combat, while Cynthia and Isaac were barely keeping up with Alfonso. Isaac was doing his best to dominate Alfonzo while Cynthia tried for multiple sneak attacks.

"I failed…I failed in following King Oskar's vision, I failed at keeping Tori beside me…my friends won't last long…I'm finished."

Beck looked over to his girlfriend and saw something he dreaded the moment Daniel presented himself to beck in his bedroom. Tori was smiling and embraced Daniel in a hug, Daniel hugged her back and…and…

"No…NOOOO! God Damnit Noo! Tori for the love of our Relationship don't…don't do it…"

Beck fell on his knees and watched Daniel and Tori kiss, if his heart could stop…it probably did when he saw that. Beck fell on the snow covered ground shaking, he was having a seizure and he wasn't sure if he would come out of what he saw alive. His vision was gone, for the first time he felt cold and it wasn't because of the blizzard. Beck threw up and tried to get up…but he could barely find the strength to do that.

Daniel and Tori separated Lips, Tori looked happy, smiling and with tears in her eyes. Daniel grabbed the sword handle and pulled the blade out from the ground, not to far was beck who laid near a puddle of his own tears and vomit. His violent shaking had disappeared, he was saying something quietly but Daniel could care less.

"C'mon Tori, let's go…I know where Sikowitz is gonna arrive." Daniel and Tori began to walk away, Tori never even checked to see if Beck was Alright.

"Someone…Anyone…Help me…Oskar…Eli…I don't…know what to do…anymore…I Lost her." Beck broke down crying, he was like a broken down fighter who had lost everything.

Beck and Eli

"Beck…Get up, Tori needs you. Long ago my Oskar broke down just like you, when he saw me and Daniel kissing. I thought I had forgiven Michael for abandoning me…but he was being untruthful even when I looked into his eyes. Beck…wake Tori from the lie he veiled over her eyes. Right now you don't need love, you don't need her, what you do need is the guts to never give up."

"I understood all that…is that…Oh My God…My Queen…Queen Eli…you heard me" Beck cried like someone who had just lost their parent and saw them come back to life before their eyes.

There veiled in an immensely bright light was Queen Eli, just as Beck had seen her in his dreams. She knelt down to help Beck up, Beck was finding that his strength was returning. Beck was blushing intensely and he didn't know why.

"When I look into your eyes Beck…I see Oskar…you and him will meet soon, don't worry."

"You sound amazing when speaking In English Eli…my Queen, all I ever heard from you was talking in Swedish in my dreams. Forgive me I-"

"Don't worry Beck…what do you say we go get Tori Back eh?"

"Let's do it!" he answered confidently

Daniel and Tori walked a good distance away from where they left Beck on the ground, the blizzard was intense but it was nothing to Tori and Daniel, plus the light above Tori's head acted like a lantern. Daniel was happy and so was Tori, it was then that Daniel heard footsteps behind them, he readied his sword in a defensive stance.

"Who's There! Beck is that you!?"

"I am neither Beck or Oskar…I AM QUEEN ELI!"

a large orb of light appeared before Daniel and staring right at him was the former queen of all Mixed Bloods, she was using Beck's body to help him in his fight against Daniel. Eli punched Daniel so hard on his chest it created a sonic boom that cleared the snow and darkness for a good twenty mile range all around. The ice beneath her shattered, she grabbed Tori and gave her face a squeeze.

"Beck…I…I'm sorry."

Beck had taken over now, "Hey don't sweat it Tori…let me and Eli handle this, I never knew she was so strong. But what did I expect, she wasn't queen for nothing 500 years ago, I had no idea a woman's strength, a Queen's strength could be this powerful. I love it…I Love It!"

Beck removed his gloves and trench coat for this one, he allowed Eli's power to concentrate in his fists which took the form of White Fire.

"It's a present from Oskar to me and from me to you Beck…Are you Ready!"

"Ready when you are my Queen!" Beck took off running in the direction Daniel went flying to, but this time his speed was so supercharged he took off like a comet flying In the vacuum of space.

(!) "Next Few chapters will be the last ones, there is a possible work for a second story if there are enough supporters. Also, to get an idea of what Eli looks like, just take a look at my Avatar, it's the actress Lina Leandersson holding a picture of her as Eli and her partner Oskar, Kare Hadenbrant. "
