Explosive was the only word Vetrix could think to describe the battle these two were having. Punches were thrown, Barian Energy Shots were fired, and Crest Powers were used. When the two attack types came in contact with one another, they exploded in an array of colors.
Well, it made sense to call it explosive, then.
The Arclights watched in fear as Amelia thrust her fist towards Vector. He grabbed her, but before he could fling her away, she'd already flipped it around. Amelia swerved and threw her opponent towards the ground. A cry of pain emitted from Trey, causing Amelia to look away in shame. It was becoming more and more frequent that she would hear her brother cry out in pain when she hurt his body. The pink-haired girl squeezed her eyes shut momentarily, but instantly got back into the game. Vector smirked when she finally caught up to him.
"Getting tired, Amelia?" Vector teased in his Rei voice, hoping to make Amelia angrier. It worked. A few tears went down her face as she snarled.
"Shut up. You only cared about me until you found out that I have my own Crest. When that day came, you never wanted anything to do with me ever again." Amelia wiped her eyes and got ready to throw a punch, but before she could, Vector was on top of her. The duo went soaring to the ground, then crashed and began rolling on it. Vetrix, Quattro and Quinton watched intently as they exchanged blows.
Vector blasted Amelia sky-high with one shot. She screamed in pain as she flew up, and nearly slipped into unconsciousness as she tumbled back down to the surface, splashing into a pond. The pinkette coughed up a bit of blood, then began to swim up quickly. Amelia gasped for air when she came to the surface. Her shotgun was laying in front of her. Amelia didn't have a choice but to use it. She scrambled up, and despite the fact she fell to her knees, fired the shotgun. Vector didn't even move. When Trey's piercing scream of pain went flying through the area, Amelia stayed right where she was. Her brother wasn't dead, yet...
I don't know what else to do, Amelia thought. If I am to attack again, I'll most likely kill Trey. I can not take that risk. It's too much. That means that Vector literally has me cornered... The pink-haired girl sniffled as Vector dropped down in front of her. He smirked upon seeing his opponent on the ground in this sniveling stage.
"You humans are so weak. Take a few hits, and then you're down. Throw a few punches that miss, and you give up. Pathetic." Vector spat in Amelia's direction. She had her eyes closed, tears streaming from them. On her hands and knees the pinkette stood, and she was frozen in her place. Vector snickered. "You weren't even a challenge, Amelia. I'm disappointed, considering the fact I know how strong you are."
"I don't want to kill my Trey-chan in the process of this fight."
"Aww, how cute. But you do realize that even if you don't, I will?"
"I refuse to let that happen."
"I doubt it won't." Vector lunged at Amelia, striking her into the air again. She screamed and landed in the dirt, tears streaking down her face. As she thought her end was near, an idea struck her.
"Vector you coward. Come out and fight me like a Barian should!" Amelia shouted. Vector glared and raised an eyebrow.
"Who are you calling a coward?"
"I'm calling you a coward, stupid."
"How dare you?! Barians are of the most powerful forces in all the galaxy! We are not cowards!"
"Oh really? If you aren't a coward, then how come you are still hiding inside my brother's body?" Amelia could tell her plan was working. "Only a coward hides from his enemies."
Vector had had enough by now. He growled in a threatening tone. "Oh yeah? I'll show you!" He left Trey's body, causing the pink-haired boy to faint onto the grass. Vector fired at Amelia, who had rushed up to him in a quick matter. Dodging the attack, she jumped up and grabbed Vector by the wings, pinning him down to the ground.
"You are such a fool." Amelia fired her Crest at Vector. At close range, that did a lot of damage. Vector threw Amelia off him and began to fire more beams at her. Two hit, but Amelia hardly felt them as she stood. The others flew behind her and exploded upon contact with the ground. Pretty soon, they were in the air again, throwing punches and kicks at one another.
This time Amelia wasn't holding back. She struck a drop-kick on Vector, knocking him from the sky and into the pond she had been flung into. He came back up, eyes glowing with anger.
"You puny human. Why do you even bother trying now?" Despite Vector's efforts at being threatening, Amelia could sense fear in his voice. She raced up there and knocked him down again, then joined him in the dirt.
"I bother to try because you hurt my family. You used me to find and nearly kill my brother. Now you're gonna pay." Amelia grabbed her beaten opponent and swung him around in circles, then flung him into the air, blasting him with the full-on power of her Crest. Vector cried out, but floated in the air, holding his left arm in pain.
"This...this isn't over Amelia Arclight. You will pay. I will bring the whole army of Barian soldiers to take you and your family down once and for all. That I guarantee." Vector opened a portal back to Barian world, then flew through it weakly. Amelia spat in his direction. She was disgusted with him.
Silence followed as Amelia turned to Trey. She couldn't tell whether he was dead or just unconscious, but was horrified by all the wounds on his body. Scratch marks from Vector, a broken arm, bullet holes...it was too much for Amelia. She raced up to Trey and dropped right next to him, Quattro, Quinton and Vetrix all about three feet away.
Slowly, she took her brother's hand and began to sob.
