Fanfic: Der Kampf der Elemente 13
Chapter: The fight begins
Hi everyone
@ crucifix: Hi! I'm so excited to see you (read * g *) because we were almost finished with this site. This stupid redesign ... * grumble * It's great that you're still here and keep leaving us commies! * hug *
Yep, we will definitely continue with our FF, but what you (and the others - if there are any) get to read today is the last we have written so far. It doesn't mean that he's the last one in the story, just that it will take a little longer before it continues, because the parts have yet to be written after this one. I hope the waiting time doesn't matter too much. * bet *
At your new FF, I'll stop by right now. * happy *
So now let's go on.
June:
"No, Yin mustn't die ... Not THAT!" I thought desperately and tried with all my might to keep the ice barrier upright.
Bracing myself against Kalkare's fire magic was pointless, if not hopelessly ridiculous, but I just had to do something.Only my magic would by far not be enough to protect Yin from the cruel death by fire. I was well aware that there was nothing worse for my best friend than to die in the red flames!
Salty tears ran down my cold cheeks, which had lost all color by now and were covered with a dull white. My magic grew steadily and I was aware that my body was not up to these self-imposed efforts. Nevertheless, I let my magic rise further, into ever higher dimensions that I had only dreamed of before. But what I had wished for in the past has now turned into a nightmare, because I could no longer control my strength. Inevitably, my defeat was drawing nearer.
The ice flowed out of me and formed new layers in the protective wall, but Kalkare's fire burned down my barrier three times as quickly. I couldn't stand his irrepressible strength and I also knew that he wasn't even trying hard to tear my element down.But he was a sadist and enjoyed his triumph over my magic. I saw it in his black, murderous flashing eyes that he was savoring Yin's fear of death, like a predator feasting on its victim.
"NO!" I still screamed, but it was too late. With a loud crunch, my hard-to-maintain ice wall shattered and hurled tons of bright red splinters through the gray night. A sound that sounded like the throaty roar of a full-grown lion filled the air with threatening persistence ... And then I saw the horror roll on in the form of an all-destructive cylinder of fire. As if in slow motion, I perceived that Kalkare's fire was now moving inexorably towards my best friend and paving a deadly path through the shimmering air. Small steadfast remnants of my barrier were melted away by the hot breath of the flame so quickly that the water droplets did not even touch the ground.
"Yin!" I wanted to scream, but my voice was simply torn away under the roar.Hot dust penetrated me relentlessly, painfully forcing me to close my eyes. Immediately afterwards I felt a huge cloud of smoke collapse over all of us and take away the air to breathe. Coughing, I fell to my knees and only now noticed how much my whole action had weakened me.
Despite the terrible heat that blew over the sandy beach, I was shivering as if my body were shivering. My teeth clattered against each other again and again and I felt an irrepressible desire to just let myself fall into this deep black hole that was spreading in my head.
But the fear for Yin pressed like a saving light between me and the rising unconsciousness. Two small tears ran down my face as I struggled to get up.
And the moment I was on my own two feet again, a hand grabbed my shoulder. I tried to lift my eyelids, but the burning smoke taught me better.I quickly grabbed the hand on my shoulder, which gave me support and security at the same time. With gentle pressure, she led me through the smoke.
After just a few steps, my tormented lungs felt the air becoming clearer. I inhaled so hard that it almost hurt, but immediately afterwards I felt the oxygen flow pleasantly and cleanly through my throat. It was a relief!
I quickly wiped my closed eyelids with the back of my hand and chased away this sticky film that had stuck to my eyelashes. Then I finally opened my eyes again and looked up, directly into the face of the person opposite.
A scream of horror escaped me as I looked into Aguar's jet-black eyes, which were enlivened by a dangerous glow. It was this subliminal glow that made it unmistakably clear that no mercy could be expected.
Just as I realized this, the Elementalist increased the pressure on his hand so that I winced painfully.Then he tore me hard by the shoulder so that I had to look directly at the "battlefield" with my back turned to him and his right hand by the throat. There the black smoke cleared slowly and revealed a view of a sandy beach, in which a glowing red trail had made its mark.
My eyes drove hectically over this area again and again, but they didn't find what I was looking for ... My best friend could not be discovered. But I couldn't find Piccolo and the other fighters either.
My gaze wandered a little higher and then I finally saw her. Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan and Goku hovered over the scene and stared down at me. Astonishment, anger and perplexity were reflected in their looks.
Something unexpected had happened. Something that no one expected and that pulled everything in a completely different direction. The magicians had me in their hand!
And now I discovered yin too.She was hanging in Son-Goku's arms and, as far as I could tell, also seemed unharmed. Although my current situation was just terrible, a relieved smile crossed my lips. Yin lived!
But the look with which she looked down at me was like that of a dead person. Her green pupils had lost all sheen and just seemed to be staring at me, rigid and silent. As if they couldn't believe what had just happened here. And then sadness spread in her eyes, and to my horror I noticed that my friend was now blaming herself for my situation. I knew her train of thought: "Why did I let Kalkare provoke me so much? If I had had better control of myself, June would not be in Aguar's hands now!"
Suddenly I felt tighter pressure on my neck and winced in panic. Only then did I notice the reason why Aguar had grabbed more ... A large figure slowly hovered closer and touched the ground three meters in front of us."Let her go Aguar" said Piccolo with a threatening undertone, while small veins emerged on his clenched fists.
Yin:
Death.
Could my magic bring nothing but death?
With empty eyes, I stared at the scorched landscape, which looked more eerie in the dark than it had to be anyway. No palm tree stretched its branches towards the sky, only a charred ground lay beneath me. Splinters of wood protruded like hands from the blackened sandy floor, smaller and larger fires were blazing everywhere, giving off the light I needed to see the destruction in the night. The flames danced mischievously, as if they wanted to tell me:
"Look what you did!"
And they were right - it was me. How could it ever have come to this? Why had I ever let it get this far?
I caught a slight movement out of the corner of my eye and turned my head stiffly. It was Piccolo, moving slowly towards the bare ground.I followed its trajectory with my eyes and shortly afterwards made out two figures in the darkness ... June?
Yes! One of them had to be June. But - who was the other person ...
"Damn it! June," I hissed and it ran down my spine. I knew who that was. This deeply evil aura could only belong to him: Aguar.
Son Goku's grip tightened a bit, drawing my attention to him.
"Let go of me! It's my fault, I have to help her," I said firmly, trying to wriggle out of his arm. However, he held me tightly without much effort.
"Hey!" I shouted angry, but his gaze was fixed on Piccolo, who had now touched down on the floor.
"Let go of me right now!", I hissed, my patience now hung by a thread, after all, it was about June's life! And on top of that, I had brought her into this situation. She had risked her life for me, stood in Kalkare's way and protected me with her ice magic.Without her I would have died here in the flames.
Furious, I pulled Goku's arm, but to no avail. He was just too strong.
"Let go of her, Aguar," I suddenly heard a dark voice speak. It was Piccolo, I was sure of that. The tone in his voice sent another cold shiver down my spine and I forgot for a moment to want to free myself from Son Goku's grip. Instead, I waited eagerly for Aguar's answer.
And he really said something ... but so quietly that I couldn't understand it. What a stupid crap! I didn't notice anything up here.
So I tried again: "Son Goku! Now let go of me, I have to help June!"
And finally he responded. But the look he gave me was strange, I couldn't place it. There was nothing left of this boyish naivete or light-heartedness. It was all gone from his black pupils. Now they were cool and expressionless.
"I was very impressed by your magic.These people are probably stronger than we all thought. You're in a completely different league, "he said and I almost groaned. Did it really take him that long to realize that?
"Oh really? Can you still remember our conversation with God? Didn't I say exactly that?" I asked angrily and now the black-haired man finally let go of me. I quickly moved away from him a little so as not to be stopped by him again.
Suddenly a smile spread across his face. I had to look twice to make sure I wasn't falling in love, but it was true. He smiled.
"I'm looking forward to the fight with them! They are real opponents."
I had to pull myself together not to lose my balance and fall to the floor! Did he really say that?
"Did the fire burn a hole in your brain earlier? You can't be serious!" My surprise had given way to pure anger.June was floating down there in mortal danger and he was grinning himself off up here!
Again I heard Piccolo talk, this time louder and more angry than before:
"You might be strong,
