had to jump over my shadow! Damn it, I had to do it, I had no choice!
"Oh, now it's getting boring. If you don't do something soon, then I'll do it for you!", Kalkare interfered again and now the earth mage stepped forward.
"We want a real fight and no kid stuff. First we settle with the loudmouths behind you and then it's your turn." As always, Nekrono's voice had that completely calm and neutral sound that I hated so much! But I knew very well that this facade was deceptive. The person behind it was horrible, merciless and repulsive!
It was actually thanks to these words that I finally started moving. The time had come now, there was no point in postponing it any further!The fire hit me, but this time I didn't close my eyes! It blazed inside me, the deadly flames licked bright and hot and shortly afterwards the pungent red fire aura surrounded me again!
I took a slow step forward and looked up. Hatred burned in him and I fully concentrated on Kalkare. His energy was enormous, I knew he was more powerful than I would ever be, but I pushed that fact completely out of my mind. I refused to interfere with any logical conclusion and instead conjured up my despised fire!
I almost staggered backwards in shock when the enormous heat spread inside me and threatened to devour me! My fisted hands were cold and wet with sweat. I clenched them so tight that my finger bones popped white. For probably the 100th time I tried to swallow the huge loo that had formed in my throat, but it stubbornly stayed in place ...With a low growl, I stuck my right hand forward and aimed at Kalkare. My jaw started shaking and my heart was racing like it was about to jump out of my chest! My left hand was trembling around the wrist of my right and would keep the pressure of the magic from missing my target!
The red fire aura blazed around me as brightly as never before and the heat I had generated myself kept making me sweat on my forehead.
Without realizing it, I took a quick look at my best friend. She stood a little lost and stared at me. I saw sadness in her eyes and something stung me: It was the way she looked at me. I suddenly felt strange, as if I had somehow ended up in the wrong film! How right she was about that ...
I quickly turned all my attention back to Kalkare. Vegeta stood a few meters away from him and looked at me almost pityingly. That stupid idiot!
"Vegeta!Get out of there, I only warn you once !!! "I roared. I was shocked by my own voice, it sounded rough and expressionless!
The Sayajin just laughed and crossed his arms over his chest.
"You warn me ?! That is really too strange!", He laughed and I clenched my teeth! If he really wanted to, then he should stop there!
"Okay!" I pressed out and tensed. I took a deep breath and focused my magic on a single goal:
Calcars.
With a loud scream that seemed to shake the ground beneath me, I finally released my magic! The fire shot out of me with insane speed and the heat literally forced the air out of my lungs!
Through the dazzling firelight and the licking flames, I saw Kalkare's malevolent face. A moment later he formed a circle with his left hand, the inside of which immediately caught fire and formed a shield in front of him! The heat made the air shimmer and somehow made everything seem unreal!A loud scream reached my ear! I felt completely empty inside and gave a startle when I realized that it was me who was screaming!
The fire spread and devoured everything near it! My eyes watered, as if through a veil, I saw with horror that my magic ricocheted off Kalkare's fire barrier! With a dull noise the fire hit the wall of magic, Vegeta jumped to the side after all, and not a second too early! My attack was diverted and literally exploded! The fire struck in all directions, scorched my eyebrows and hair and now robbed me of the last air to breathe. The hot air hit me in the face and panicked I turned away!
The noise had subsided a little and I could hear my rapid breathing. My arms, propped up on my knees, shook under the weight of my weight and I was about to collapse at any moment!
As if in a trance, I turned my head slowly and saw Kalkare's figure through the dark smoke.He looked like death in person as the smoke slowly cleared again and revealed him:
He was completely unharmed!
The area around us was totally burned, occasional fires still burning and lighting up the darkness with its trembling glow.
However, I had no way of taking a closer look at the extent of the destruction. I perceived the fire mage's harsh laugh as though through a thick glass wall and opened my eyes in horror when he began to speak:
"I have to admit that I didn't trust you to do that. But it was nowhere near enough to embarrass me even remotely. You are, as I expected, weak. And now it's time for you to." die. Your fire will ultimately be your death too. "
I was unable to say anything. With incredulous eyes I looked into his deeply evil, grinning face. He literally enjoyed seeing me suffer, but I knew it was over!I couldn't do anything anymore!
I dropped to the ground without any strength. The sand below me swallowed every sound and I dug my hands into it as deep as I could. The incredible anger that had controlled me for the last few minutes gave way to naked fear and I began to shiver. "Die!", Kalkare yelled and then he laughed again! I closed my eyes and waited. The fire appeared, I could hear it by the hissing noise and the suddenly rising heat!
"Give my regards to your people in the beyond!" Added the magician, then I heard a short cry and he shot!
Now I finally opened my eyes again and looked directly into the wall of fire in front of me! Inexorably it rolled closer, the unbearable heat enveloped me again and if I had been able to, I would have screamed! But I didn't succeed! I stared spellbound at the sea of ​​flames that would devour me in a few seconds!
Maybe it was my destiny.It was because of me that someone died, because of me and my fire. Perhaps I would not find peace until I was also defeated by fire ...
But suddenly I noticed a change! I could hardly believe it - there was cold!
June's angry scream went through my marrow and bone and made my blood run cold! In the next instant I was surrounded by freezing cold, which was already burning on my skin! A huge wall of glittering ice followed and built up in front of me!
Then everything went so fast that I hardly realized what was actually happening: The noise level swelled to unbearable, I almost covered my ears when the two elements collided!
My head flew around and I saw June desperately trying to keep the wall of ice up - to protect me!
The loud crack almost made my heart stop! Kalkare gained the upper hand and June's ice began to burst!There was a high-pitched noise, it was so loud that it really hurt your ears and then suddenly the entire wall of ice glowed red! Fragments of ice flew in all directions, one dug into the sand right next to me, another cut my leg. The scream of the ice became even louder and finally it could no longer withstand the enormous pressure of Kalkare's fire!
June's magic reared up one last time, then the ice was finally destroyed and the fire raced towards me again !!!
In a flash a strong arm grabbed me around the waist and pulled me up with it! I could hardly breathe, we shot up so fast! The roar below me told me the wave of fire had rushed by!
Only now did I get the idea to look up.
Son Goku's dark eyes rested on me. "Are you okay?" He wanted to know and I nodded stiffly. "D- Thank you," I managed to look away from him again.
Where was June? Damn it, I hope she was fine!My eyes frantically searched the ground for her, but in the darkness and in the smoke I could hardly see anything!
"June !!! Where are you?!?!"

See you next time! Commies are, as always, very welcome.
