Unforgettable Memories | Xiao x Reader

Chapter Twenty-One

"Even if things are painful and tough,
people would appreciate what it means to be alive."

~~~~~~

"No," Xiao muttered after hearing what Lumine had said. "There has to be a way to save you."

"Leave with me," Lumine hugged you from behind. "Leave with me and Aether and we can save you."

"Wait," Xiao argued. "There has to be another way."

Lumine and Xiao glared at one another disagreeing with the other. They brought out their weapons and quickly ran forward, sword meeting spear.

Loud clashes came from the two as their weapons sparked against one another. Quickly dodging one of Xiao's frontal attacks, Lumine ran behind him and collected energy for a multiple slash attack. Expecting this, Xiao dashed forward to avoid the damage that the attack would have caused him.

Once again, the two ran towards each other their weapons clashing each second.

"Aether!" You cried. "We have to stop them."

Aether simply stared at the two. His mind and heart were in conflict. He didn't know who the right one was. All he could do was watch and wait to see who would become the victor.

Clicking your tongue, you looked at Diluc who had stayed quiet during the whole showdown, "Diluc, we have to do something."

Even though you wanted to do something, you knew your limits. You were never built for fighting. If anything, you could even male the whole problem worse.

Realizing that no one would do something, you ran towards them. Right as you were about to be in the area of battle between the two, you felt a hand grab your wrist.

"No y/n," Diluc shook his head. "This is a battle between the two of them."

"I have to do something," you cried, your eyes wide with fear.

The clash of the weapons only continued to grow louder. Lumine had summoned a boulder which missed Xiao by an inch. Quickly using it to his advantage, Xiao climbed the boulder and did a plunging attack which Lumine was too late to dodge. Flying back, Lumine sucked in air to hold back her cry of pain before stomping her foot on the ground and creating an earthquake of geo energy which had hit Xiao.

The two were soon badly injured from their fight together, huffing and collecting their breaths as they prepared for another round. Neither were planning to give up.

After a few seconds, the two flew towards each other, each attack growing stronger as their determination only grew. They wouldn't let the other have you.

"Enough!" You shouted.

Suddenly, a large blast resounded through the area. The sound ring your ears as your vision shook from the side effect of the blast. The area around all of you was demolished and in its trace were blown away rocks, broken trees, and dust littered all over the place.

Looking around, your eyes bore sight to a familiar figure, a white haired and orange eyes female.

"Sister," you muttered as you stared at the one and only Celestia standing before you.
