Chapter Fifty Eight: Black And Grey
Frost's POV
I really am going to die if I don't somehow find a source of strength to up myself from this dire situation... My breathing is completely abnormal and my mind wants to implode. Don't get me started on my heart! Lucky for me, I have Phase carrying me on her back like a luggage. She's amazingly strong for her size and age... I don't really feel any pain, but, I know for a fact that if I were able to feel pain, then I'd be dead already. Something or someone is trying to take control of my body... That must mean Grey got to me somehow. Ah... Such is life. At least mine. Filled with sudden things popping up here and there... Death can come swiftly for me, and this is no exception... If I DO die, I highly doubt that I'll turn I to a girl... But if I manage to turn into one, then that should mean I split away from Black completely. But then there'll be five look-a-likes... Me, Chaos, Frosty, Lizzo and then Black... This is dumb... Wait... Why the heck am I thinking so childishly at a time like this?... Ah whatever... It's not like I can see anything... We should be close tho... Really close...
White's POV
Typical. She has no facial expression whatsoever, but I can tell she's yearning for a piece of me. The way she's holding her sword, the way her eyes are locked onto mine... It says it all. Black Heart...
She stood a good twelve metres away in this large, blood-coated grassy field, staring deeply into my light red eyes with her dark purple ones which indicated that she was Corrupted. Even her blade was tainted in dark purple. The war still raged on from around us, but no one interfered with us. Not a single soul even glanced at us... Not even by accident.
In my right hand, was an automatic pale, shiny pistol which had the same model as the Glock 20. It's barrel pointed harmlessly towards the blood-soaked earth as I took in quick, quiet breath of the sweet scented air and stayed on my toes just in case Black decides to kill me without warning. The grass swayed and danced in perfect tone to the soft breeze that would occasionally pass by from the left which brushed against my exposed, bloodied skin and tickled my thighs.
My eyes were narrowed a little, extremely wary of her movements as I knew without a doubt that in one second flat, she would've pulled off a good five-hit combo on me to the face and send a kick to my stomach which would send me flying across the battlefield like a stray bullet. She's extremely powerful, fast and merciless. She can't even pick up a single trace of emotion. That's how she almost always was until I found her.
She didn't move an inch. All she did was blink and breath lightly with the wind as we waited for each other to commence the battle... Nothing happened. I wanted to talk to her, but it's useless since she can't even speak. The blade does her talking. And believe me, it has a sharp tongue. Literally.
Even so, I grit my teeth and clenched the metallic pistol in my right hand and gently rubbed the white trigger with my index finger, ready to pull it up and fire one straight into her skull... Only if I'm lucky. Like Frost, she has a stupidly fast reaction time and can easily slice them mid-flight. Plus, she's Corrupted and has an even more faster, inhuman reaction time. I can't fight Black on my own... That's imminent death... But... If I do manage to kill her, then Frost will be free.
I took in a deep breath of air and calmed my mind completely, emptying all of the negative thoughts that restlessly tried to take control of me as my chest and stomach bloated up a little. Just as I exhaled all of the carbon dioxide out of my lungs through my warm, damp mouth, loud, scrunching of the grass accompanied by the ground shaking a little emitted from behind me.
Instinctively, I blinked and shot a quick glance behind my right shoulder as my white, cat-like ears with pink soft insides twitched to a sudden noise in front of me... My eyes widened in pure shock and fear to how fast Black's movements. I jumped back, turning my head back to the front to see her blade high above her head come plummeting down with destructive speed and force. I was still in mid air travelling backwards to escape her blade as my white, long, elegant silky smooth hair spread behind me like a paper fan... I watched and felt her blade's tip dig itself into the centre if my chest, almost touching my rib cage as it made it's way down to my stomach. Her sword slid out as I made enough distance to avoid further contact with her as I felt my eyes swell to how painful it was...
Blood spilt out in the air as I continued to fall weakly with soulless eyes and contracted pupils which looked as if I was on the verge of insanity... The pain was outstanding and felt like the sun was literally inside of me. I didn't scream. I just sucked it all up and forced myself to stay as composed as possible... There's no way in the world that I'll give in... I want to save her! And Frost!
"White!", Red cried in horror as the rest of the Colours rushed up to me... They stood around me, all staring down at me with horror to my gaping wound that looked unrepairable. My landing was hard and painful, but I didn't care. It was this pain that really got me. Blood easily coated my body and clothes in a delicious red colour, making me grunt as the thought of dying immediately took over my mind by storm... Ack... Red dropped down to her knees in a state of shock and sadness to the left of my head as Yellow and Blue immediately stood in front of my legs with their weapons out to defend me... "Your... Stomach... Where- Where's Star?!", She cried in desperation with widened, watery eyes that induced sadness into me. Dammit... It hurts so much... "Just stay put! Green! Try to heal her!".
"Hmph! You haven't changed a bit Black! You're still killing whoever you want and when you want for the sake of it!", Blue stated in a confident tone of voice, trying to intimidate Black who just stood there expressionlessly and with widened eyes that were as empty as a vacuum... Dammit... They shouldn't provoke her... They'll... Suffer...
"Ok! White, stay still. This will only hurt a bit", Sino claimed from the right of my head with a worried, forced smile. Ack... I can't let this pain hold me down! I need to fight!
Yellow's POV
Black jumped back a good twenty stupid metres onto a pile of bloodied, dismembered bodies which spat out a pool of blood from underneath her. Wind blew from dead ahead prior to her impossible jump which blinded me momentarily and made me cover my eyes with the back of my bloodied forearms. When the wind stopped a second later, I lowered my arms and broadened my light yellow, irritated eyes to see her standing there with now a large cannon attached to her right arm which she pointed directly at us, greatly intimidating me which almost caused me to charge recklessly at her... Luckily, I remembered the gaping wound White received and kept my cool. Dammit... At any moment, she could pull a hair string and kill us all in one second flat with a giant laser beam! Black's too over powered for us on a fight!... And then there's Grey who'll back her up!
I took a small step forward with my right foot, scrunching the red grass softly before suddenly, something fell from the sky and landed brutally to the right of Black which sent dirt and pieces of meat flying across the field, further shedding it in blood... I gasped in fright and took my right foot back, gritting my teeth as the black and grey dust slowly began to fade into oblivion and reveal just what fell down from the sky... I readied myself for anything that could happen, tightening my fingers around the blades in between my fingertips, watching a feminine figure emerge from the dust which made Blade stare at her with slightly broadened dark purple eyes... No... Way...
I grunted and took a step back as Green dragged White away a good eight metres for safety reasons, being as careful as possible as she knew all too well that Black could fire a payload the size of a truck from that cannon... But that wasn't why I took the step back... SHE was here. Grey, the Colour who stood to the right of Black proudly with a widened stance as she held an opened, grey-covered ancient book on her left hand, resting it close up to her face.
She peered at us with her glowing, burning dark grey eyes which wielded a small hint if purple which meant Corruption. Her light grey, legendary armour stood out from the others in the entire battlefield, having seven wing-like blades sticking out of her back in an intimidating manner. She wore a plate skirt that dangled down to about her knees and wore leggings that reached up to about her knees. Around her forearms, were metallic plates that reached up to her wrists and finally, she wore a grey tiara with two gemstones on either side. The right was black and the left was white... Despite her name... She had beautiful, light pink hair that collapsed onto her plated shoulders...
"Haha! I can't believe White was taken down so easily by a mere slash!", Grey exclaimed like an evil mastermind, clenching her right fist into a ball of pain before punching it out forwards and shot out her index finger towards us in an intimidating manner. "Ahahaha! How pathetic IS she?! Oh well, at least she's still alive. After we're done with you savages, I'm going to have my fun with White. Haha!"... Bitch... I'll... I'll kill her if she dares to touch White!
"Shut your trap! Do you think we'll let you have her THAT easily?!", Blue cried aloud in anger and despise at the top of her lungs, grinding her jaws together like two rocks as she trembled in anger, holding her shiny blue marumasa in her right, clenched fist. "You must be dreaming if you really think you're going to win!".
A stiff silence followed with a gust of soft air which brushed against
our exposed flesh. Grey smiled and reeled her head backwards and faced up before laughing hysterically at what Blue said which fuelled her with more and more anger... One spark will initiate the battle. And that's something I don't want but right now, what choice do we have?! Black and Grey are unstoppable!... Dammit! If only Frost was here then maybe we would stand a chance... The only problem is that BLACK consumed him and now he's... Well... I don't know.
She kept on laughing, getting progressively more and more inhuman which sent dangerous vibes down my spine, shaking my heart and soul to the very base... She's doing this on purpose. She wants us to fight against them... But... It's impossible!
"Yellow... I... Want to teach them a lesson...", Blue said from my left, immediately making my eyes widen and shoot my attention straight at her with a shocked facial expression. She had her head down and her light blue, long, elegant hair covering various parts of her face which made it impossible for me to make out her emotion nor how she was feeling. Her shoulders bounced up and down repeatedly and only lightly as her grip on the black handle of her shiny blue marumasa tightened a tenfold. She slid her right foot far in front if her and bent her knees, slowly pulling her left hand to the bottom half of the handle where it gripped on tightly without hesitation... I wanted to tell her to stop since it's suicide, but I held back my thoughts...
"Oh? Well then, before you come at us, I'd like to tell you something about your dear friend Frost!", Grey insisted, making Blue grunt and look up with narrowed, flaming blue eyes that stared into Grey's Corrupted soul mercilessly. I flinched and blinked blankly before turning my head to face Grey with my yellow, cat-like ears raised up to listen carefully to what she was about to say... Red and Orange stood to the right of me, also yearning to fight and wanted to clearly hear what Grey was going to say...
She took in a deep breath as Black jumped down from the pile of bodies and into the bloodied grass in front, readying herself for combat. Grey exhaled and shut her eyes tightly before opening them up and reeling her head backwards... At once, the moment she adjusted her head normally, she spoke with a blood thirsty smile that just fuelled my anger to the very brim...
"Frost is inside of Black subconsciousness where he's going to die! The idiot ate the WHOLE apple I gave to Ruby! He'll never return and he'll never see the dawn of day ever again! Ahahaha!"... This bitch... I'll kill her... I'll make her pay!-
"You're the idiot here if you think Frost is going to go down without a fight", A gruff, feminine voice said from behind me as two footsteps approached us, instantly making me turn around to see both Green and White standing... My eyes widened in shock and confusion to WHY she's standing up with a gaping wound across her stomach... Even tho it's bandaged and all bloody-red, she shouldn't even move... Her organs could spill out and- "Yellow, don't worry. It's just a scratch", White insisted in a grunt with a small, forced smile plastered across her white, adorable bloodied face.
"Oh? So you can stand let alone bark? You must be a loyal dog to Frost if you really believe that he's going to live and surpass Black!", Grey fired the shots at White, making her close her eyes and shake her head left and right before ceasing and opening her eyes again, staring pass my right shoulder at Grey and Black with her light red ones. I took a step to the left, giving her some space which she gladly took... I watched her walk slowly to my spot and stand proudly at the face of the enemy without a hint of fear in mind... A strong gust of wind suddenly blew from ahead, blowing her hair beautifully in front of me as the sun's rays shone upon her brightly, emphasising her beauty to an uncomprehending level which really struck me hard and left me dumbfounded... Woah...
"Oh he will", White claimed with a louder, powerful voice which sounded as if she was entirely alright... Her smile became bright and cheerful, and shown no negativity whatsoever behind it which made Grey grunt in anger and frustration.
"Frost is LONG gone and he will never return! He ate the entire apple all on his own!", Grey cried in fury, making White take a step forward as I turned to face the expressionless Black...
"What are you talking about?", White said cheekily which made Grey spit and take a step back... Eh?
"I'm talking about the apple! He ate it all on his-"...
"Hehe. That's where you're wrong. Me and Phase had a bite of that sucker. Frost isn't dead just yet"...
Frost's POV
I... Can't get luckier than this... I cheated death like a fucking badass! Ack, I can't believe it! Ahaha! Alright, almost there! Just a massive climb up these white stairs and we'll be at the black tower!
White's POV
I know I'm no match for Black, but I have to do what I can to keep her at bay while I hope to everything that Frost wakes her up from her subconscious! Frost won't back down nor surrender to the face of evil!
Her blade clashed with mine in an all out war of explosive colours which illuminated the battlefield beautifully. I smiled the entire time regardless of my wound and fought against Black with all my might, holding my blade tightly in both my clenched hands. Red, blue, yellow and grey particles flickered out at the heart of our clash as we pushed as hard as we could to one another for a good three seconds before both breaking it by jumping back a metre to gain some distance and plan the next move. I kicked the grass with my right foot as she immediately rushed up to me with lightning speed, her blade drawn to her far right, ready to slice me into bits.
I widened my eyes a little and put all of my power into that kick with allowed me to perform a spectacular back flip which allowed me to dodge her black blade that JUST missed my face by mere inches and sliced off a few strands of my white hair. When I landed, I quickly engaged with her in an all out sword fight, hacking and slashing at her only to have them blocked fairly easily by her without a sweat. I took a swift step back, watching out for her horizontal slash that nearly cut me in half which pumped my bloodstream full of adrenaline.
I sent a slash to her face, aiming to slice her stupid head off only to have it slashed away by her with frightening speed. Both my hands flew over my head like a cannonball, dragging me back and making me lose balance as she reeled her blade and sent a devastating stab to my stomach... Oh crap!
Frost's POV
Ahh! My legs are trembling from all that climbing! I don't know how Phase was able to come up here without breaking a single drop of sweat?!... I took in deep, heavy breaths of air as sweat dripped down my forehead, disappearing into the plain white, stone ground as if it were a sponge. I stared ahead with my teeth clenched together in anger. Both my arms drooped down to my thighs and each had traces of my blood smeared around in various places. The tips of my fingers was one spot. My feet ached in pain and throbbed agonisingly... Phase stood to the right of me with an opened mouth as she stared at the base of the towering, jet black tower where a figure stood... A very familiar figure... It was Black. A naked Black tied up in black, demonic chains that strung her upright by the wrists and neck. She stared at us with pity, like she knew our inevitable fate...
I grunted and dragged my right foot forwards, then dragged my left, then my right, scraping the ground loudly with the bottom of my shoes which made her eyes open up a little more... The distance between us was a hefty fifteen metres...
By the time I was eleven metres away, she jolted upwards and widened her eyes wildly, as if she was warning me us of something... But I smiled and kept on walking, not caring at all which made her shake her head vigorously left and right as her flesh shook a bit to her intense movements... I focused on her face and face only with no intention of having a peek at her 'growing' body...
"F...Frost?! Is... That... You?! Your t...the son of Lilith and Maxis, right?! Why... Why are you here?!", She cried aloud...
"Phase... Cut the chains...".
White's POV
Huh?... I'm... Not hurt?...
I blinked blankly and looked down at my stomach to see a light blue sniper rifle hovering in front of me with a blade stuck inside of it... Immediately, I looked to my right and took a good nine steps back, staring at Blue who gave me the thumbs up with her right hand cheerfully. Haha! I can't believe she saved me!
Black blinked and slammed her blade downwards against the blood soaked earth with tremendous force, instantly shattering Blue's weapon into a million shards of metalworks before dashing up to me with light speed with her blade held in front of her face, pointing straight at me. As fast as I could, I sent an uppercut to her blade which connected well and emitted a strong, painfully loud screech of metal which made me cringe a little. Her right arm flew above her head due to the sheer amount of force inside of her blade. She's stunned! I can't miss this opportunity whatsoever! Even if it means my life!
Frost's POV
"Is that Frosty or Lizzo?", Phase asked me in a whisper from my close right in confusion, making me grin as we slowly approached the base of the black tower in this forgotten land of emptiness.
"Neither", I replied, dragging myself by force towards the bounded girl who had tears building up in her light red, beautiful eyes... I can't tell if she's happy to tears or just plain sad... I took in a deep breath, stopping in my tracks at about three metres and stared at her in the eye as I exhaled and spoke with a kind tone if voice.
"You're Black Melody, right?", I asked her... Her eyes closed and she nodded happily at me, her hair bouncing up
and down beautifully. Ah... I guess she's happy... But why IS she so happy?
"Yes... You remembered my name. I can't believe you remember my name!", She cried in happiness as her eyes flung open to reveal her beautiful, shiny light red ones that stared deeply into my light blue and red ones with passion... However... I felt something I shouldn't have... It was the feeling of guilt and regret emitting from her like a stench... "Frost... I'm so happy to see you".
Um... Ack, my heart's thumping! And I'm blushing?! Dammit! I only have eyes for White only! No one's an exception no matter what! Damn...
"I...I'm happy to see you too", I said shakily from embarrassment, making me blush twice as much which made her smile become an amazing ONE HUNDRED PERCENT tier smile that nearly blew up my heart... Ack... That's... A lethal smile. "Um... Black... I'm going to free you now... So don't move around too much".
Immediately, she turned a bright, flaming red which also made me then red for some reason. She moved her eyes left and right as she stiffened like a rock then brought her eyes back to mine with contracted pupils...
"Ah... Um... It's... The chains aren't breakable", She said in embarrassment... Unbreakable chains?
"Then how do I free you?", I asked curiously, losing the redness from my face as hers just ramped up to the highest colour of red possible...
"A... A... A kiss..."...
"Frost, don't you dare. There's a child watching", Phase said angrily... Haha... Um... This is... Difficult... I promised White that I'd never do something like that to anyone but her... Ack... Plus, she's naked... "Unless you kiss me too"... EHHHH?!... N.. "Don't get excited, pervert. I was joking... Tho if you want to... Then by all means... After all, I AM your pet"... Ack... I'm going to get a heart attack!... Damn! I don't have a choice but to kiss Black!... Not Phase... Definitely not her... And I am NOT a pervert!
Phase's POV
Stupid Frost... Can't you take a hint?... There are other girls that like you, you know... And I'm one of them! Dammit Frost!
