I'm so sorry you had to wait so long for this part * ashamed *



@ Crucifix: Well, I don't even guess that the Z-Fighters could transport the elementalists to the afterlife with one hand movement (would be boring too ;-))
And you're right ... now it's getting serious! * wide grin *

Oh yes ... Thanks for the long picking! * happy *



@Amiel: Nice that you are still following this FF. Then there are at least 2 clerks who build us (Fortune and Kira)!

Well ... you will find out how things go with Picco and June (when the lights go on) No kidding. You have to read that yourself * gg *



And now to:



The battle of the elements (8)



(June)

This cruel oppressive feeling that took my breath more and more, now spread over my heart. Like a merciless icy hand, it closed around the beating muscle.

"A ... Aguar!" I stuttered so quietly that you could hardly hear it.But a nasty grin immediately spread on the face of my counterpart. And suddenly his outward appearance lost all resemblance to yin. The red hair quickly turned a deep black and the body of my counterpart became more muscular and lost all feminine forms.

I stared into Aguar's face with wide eyes. The great elementalist smiled condescendingly at me. His long cloak fluttered frantically in the sandy wind and shone in the element color of its owner: a dark blue, like water!

"Why did you flee? How pointless! You know very well that it is a lost hope to believe that you would escape us!" said Aguar with a menacing undertone. The haughty look in his dull gray eyes looked at me contemptuously. I was annoyed by the puffy sound of his voice, but I dared not say anything. My fear was just too great!

"W ... What are you going to do now?" I stammered, trembling as I stumbled back a small step.There was a dark laugh. "Are you so stupid or are you just pretending ?! Now guess what! Why did I come here? But definitely not to chat with you guys!" replied the elementalist and slowly came closer. I saw how the dust under his shoes was stirred up slightly with every step he took. Small beads of sweat appeared on my forehead and I wanted to run away. But I just couldn't move. My legs were frozen in place!

I knew that there was no point in trying to negotiate with Aguar or even start a last desperate fight ... But I did not want to go under without doing anything. And I decided to fight!

Although my fear increased immeasurably at the same time, I was no longer held back from my goal. After taking a deep breath, I stood bolt upright on the soft ground, which immediately gave way, and held out my open palms.Stunned, Aguar stopped and frowned at me. He was probably wondering what the whole thing was about, since it wouldn't do anything anyway, but I didn't care at all!

An indescribable cold welled up inside me, right down to my fingertips. It wasn't an uncomfortable feeling, but I knew that Yins and my magic, used incorrectly, could harm ourselves too. That was also a difference between our magic and that of the elementalists!

A tremendous force from the depths of my body flowed through me when I briefly closed my eyes. It would still not be enough!

Then I slowly lifted my eyelids. I stared blankly at a grinning elementalist and pressed my lips together angrily.

"Well what is that supposed to be? Do you really want ..."

I didn't let him finish the sentence and abruptly let out my pent-up magic with a loud scream! A huge cloud of mist enclosed the tall man and enveloped him in an icy hand.Small ice crystals formed on the skin of my counterpart. Surprised, he took note of what had happened and took a defensive position. My outstretched hands began to shake slightly and I felt a small drop of sweat run down my right cheek. If it worked out, then ...

And then he really did what I had been waiting for so long! My last hope!

With a dull look, Aguar raised his arm and briefly concentrated. Through the thick wall of smoke I could see how he was using his own magic. And then it happened ...

A sob of relief escaped me as I sank exhausted to my knees and stared at the elementalist, frozen to ice. It worked! When water meets ice and cold, it freezes too!

Happy I looked at the ice statue that was only a meter away from me and smiled at the surprised look on Aguar's face.I would never have believed that he would piss me off!

Exhausted, I closed my eyes and propped myself up with my hands on the sand. My breathing was quick and erratic. I had used almost all of my strength.

But suddenly I listened up. In addition to the loud rustling of the wind, a soft crack reached my ear. And suddenly an explosive clang drowned out all other noises with one blow. Small splinters of ice rushed through the air, scratching the skin of my arms and hands with sharp edges. Cut holes in my clothes.

I looked up, my eyes shining. Two gray callous eyes stared down at me mercilessly, shattering all hope in me. A strong hand reached around my neck and slowly pulled me off the floor.

"You see, your magic is ineffective. Did you seriously believe that you could have been dangerous to me with it ?! I will now show you what it feels like to really control your element!" Aguar whispered terrifyingly.

I began to fidget fearfully and tried to loosen his hard grip. But it didn't work. He wasn't just much better at magic, but also in terms of strength! And then I felt something that literally took my breath away ...

Something cold and wet ran down my throat and down my windpipe. An emerging coughing fit broke out and shook me. But immediately afterwards I no longer had the air to cough! More and more water flowed into my lungs and slowly but surely filled them up. Desperate, I writhed under the infernal pain and waged a cruel fight against imminent death. Again I instinctively tried to gasp for air, but only sucked the water deeper into my lungs. It felt like icy daggers sticking into my sides. There were black dots in front of my eyes, but the excruciating pain in my body prevented the impending unconsciousness.My lungs were about to burst, were pumped full of water to the point of bursting ...

A startled scream reached my ear as if through cotton wool. It was a split second before I realized it was the Elementalist who had opened his mouth to scream! Then I saw the red, slightly bleeding wound on his left shoulder and suddenly felt the hard grip on my neck being released.

I hardly noticed the impact in the soft sand. However, I was suddenly wide awake when someone grabbed my arm, picked me up and blew me up. And then, with a painful rebound, I spat the first gush of water out of me. An agonized rattle came from my throat after I coughed out the rest of the cold liquid. With watery eyes I slowly raised my gaze and looked startled into Piccolo's face. Only now did I realize who I was watching!

But the great Namek looked down at Aguar with a serious, dogged expression, who was now also staring up with hate.

"The spiral of hell caught him in full! From ambush! And he only has a slight graze ?!" Piccolo growled dully. There was something in his voice that gave me goose bumps. It was the realization that I couldn't do anything!

While I looked embarrassed at the soaking wet clothes of my rescuer, I whispered depressed: "He has a protective shield that consists of pure magic and with which such attacks fizzle out immediately!" Slowly I looked up and looked Piccolo straight in the eye. "It is all the more astonishing that your attack broke through the shield!"

The great Namek looked at me skeptically for a moment and immediately turned all his attention back to Aguar.

He gently touched the scarcely bleeding wound with the fingers of his right hand. Then he gently pushed himself off the ground and floated straight towards us. Hardly an arm's length from Piccolo and me, he stopped abruptly!

"Respect! Nobody has dared to do that, let alone managed it! It seems to me that my stay on earth will be a little more amusing than I thought! Then I want to ... Us ... not to spoil the fun!" he said. A condescending smile twitched at the corner of his mouth and suddenly the elementalist was gone. As if swallowed by the ground!

Confused, Piccolo searched the desert dunes with his eyes. A little sigh of relief escaped me. We got away one more time! But the great Namek who was still holding me was apparently not quite so sure.

"What did this guy mean that he doesn't want to spoil the fun?" he growled seriously and gave me a piercing look. I swallowed.

"With> Us
Piccolo returned my gaze. But without any signs of emotion. "That doesn't mean anything! Even Vegeta would have saved your life! After all, we offered you our help!" he just growled. It was like someone had given me a cold shower and woke me up from a deep sleep. I released myself from Piccolo's grip (apparently he hadn't noticed that he was still holding me!) And floated backwards a little.

"Ah so! Well, then I don't thank you! How could I have even got the idea ... No ... The absurd thought of putting this word in your mouth! Well, other countries, other customs! Me I just hope that not all people on earth are as "friendly" as you are! "My voice dripped with irony, but I had not yet finished:" Oh, excuse me ... you are not a person at all! You are a Namekian. Well ... After all, Dende is not too sorry for a thank you, if it is appropriate!"

I had become
