Her eyes glinted in the dark, a sly grin on her face. She'd never been this far into her plan. He grimaced and wiped the blood off his face, His green eyes staring with the determination to stop this girl, For if she succeeded this city would go down in history. Yet not in the greatest way..
She stood against the brick wall, ready to create more chaos in the city. Her first plan was already successful, and now her second plan was coming along perfectly.. He held up his hand and uttered only 5 words, "Frugalia enter- Gateway to the under." As soon as the words were spoken his eyes glinted into a sheen gold. He looked straight at her and started walking forward.
She paused, her eyes widening. Since when did he learn how to do that? She's never seen him do that before. She jumped and was launched into the sky, looking down at the alleyway below still seeing bits of gold around him. He grimaced again and glared at the girl, Vine whip, Was it? He uttered a curse in ancient greece and leaned to the ground.With gold glinting around him he jumped quickly only reaching ten feet, But then with one word, "Jiro-Kikari!" He suddenly boosted right under her and reached out his hand, Letting his finger skim her.
She gasped in horror and extended her hand, activating her power. As in her name, she had the ability to manipulate nature, and such. She used her ability to make vines that attached to the heroes waist and dragged him back down. She exhaled in relief, thinking that was the end of the hero. He smiled, And soon that smile mutated into something of pure malice. He'd let her have the fun for now. As he started gathering his power. Simply disappearing into the floor before the girl could notice. His body was soon encased in a luscious blue crystal.She smirked and jumped across multiple rooftops, desperately trying to get away from him. She then fell on an empty street and relaxed. He was done for. Finally. An hour passed by quietly as the morning sun broke into the dawn. All was qui- CRACK The ground where the hero went split open and a white wolf with deep blue markings resembling water jumped out of the crack, Landing on the ground the wolf sprinted with one thought present. The hunt you see, Has just begun. Malice glowed within the wolves deep green eyes with some form of twisted pleasure welling up from within.
She hadn't uttered an entire word throughout the fight that they had, it was surprising because she would usually be very talkative.. But now she realized she met someone who shared the same strength as her. On an opposite side. An equal opponent perhaps.It was an hour after their recent fight and she was most tired. It was one of her first fights in the city and she's never dealt with something like this before."Hahh.. I'm exhausted." She mutters. She goes into a nearby grocery store and takes some food off the shelves, munching on the delightful snacks until she hears a growl from nearby.'This can't be..'
A growl was heard, Containing malice and a mutated grin The window shattered as a wolf landed on the floor gracefully, The girl could already know who this person was, Seeing as those green eyes looked exactly like his. A deep forest with the most wonderful surprises within, Yet darkness threatening to swallow those who dared entered its domain.
She let out a squeak, dropping the snacks on the floor. She once again activated her powers and let a barrier form between her and the wolf. She took off sprinting, and an angry cashier screamed after her to pay.It just wasn't her day today, right? She was met with a brick wall and fell to the ground, but stood up once again to hear the voice of the hero behind her. A voice floated within the girls mind,
And yet she felt comfort in it. A sort of warping of the mind? she wondered 'You seem to have tried to escape, That is foolish.' A snarl He took a step farther and looked at her, His eyes glinting in the sunlight.
She snapped out of the trance and faced the wolf-hero in fear. She was once a hero, just like him. She was cocky, and never doubted her skills until a certain day.. She shook her head and yelled, "Why do you want to capture me so desperately?" She wrapped her vines around the heroes front leg and clenched her fist, with the intention of ..He wasn't having it, Before she even got the chance he warped back and slammed in to her, Stopping the progress and halting her movements. He laughed, It sounded almost cruel. "Let's see.. He listed every crime she ever did - from the minor to even the most secret." He looked crazy-Almost. He leaned in and whispered something that made even her shocked, "LITTLE HERO,"
She froze in fear, and muttered out a short response. "I'm no longer a hero." She coldly replied. Heroes and villains, they were two sides of the same coin. She would never become a hero again because of the corruption and deceit.It was the same thing that caused her families death.
He frowned, "Denying my words are we? Lets just you ARE the hero." His eyes dialated, And his grin contained something even super villains would fear. "For i will destroy this world, Damned little hero." He grinned again, He found pleasure watching the shock on her face, He wanted to see it coated in blood.He pulled out the hand blade and sliced her stomach, Not deep, Yet deep enough to sting.
She clenched her stomach and looked at him in the eyes with pure hatred. "I was a hero," She activated her powers, making thorny vines and encasing him in it. "I'm now a villain." She muttered. The corruption of hero society was too much to bear on her shoulders. The fake smiles and memories she made was nothing.She shut her eyes.As a villain she could freely express herself and her true identity, so she doesn't have to hide herself, like she did before..
He frowned, Why wasnt she cooperating? He thought, For his desire to be stricken down, And get back up and 'save the world' was so strong, He couldn't see how corrupt his rule had become.Like a tyrant ruling over his people, He was forcing ideals onto others, Ideals they did not want, Ideals they did not live by.He narrowed his eyes at her, Just why wouldn't she cooperate?!.She opened her eyes again and sighed. She tried so desperately to hide her past yet it still comes back to her, it was a thorn in her back.She looked at the so-called 'hero' and bent down, forcing him to get out of his animal form with her powers. She clenched her fists and the thorns grew bigger, pricking the man by the second and grinned wildly, having enough."Is this what you wanted?"
He growled, Almost animalistic, He managed to break his hand free, Grabbing onto the villain with a vice grip, Pericing her skin. With that simple touch he grinned madly, His eyes glowed red and soon both of their skin was burning and turning into ash, Both felt the most unimaginable pain there was, And simply just, Well SPARKED Arial view-Allyway A golden beam blasted from the earths crevices, And soon the world was bathed in celestial light. Breaking and tearing everything, Into a horrible wildfire that simply made the earth cease to exist. The only thing left in were 2 beating hearts, Each charred and ripped. Almost like, Scars always carried on in the heart.
The hand pierced her skin and she let out a shrill scream, kicking him back in the last second. A burst of pain came from her head and spread all throughout her body. She cried, cried, and cried until she wasn't able to.She regretted every bad moment of her life. The time she yelled at her mother for not wanting to be a hero. Leaving the house. Abandoning all her friends and family.Now she was going to pay the price.
He wanted to be the hero of the story, He could only think of one thing in his last moments.He remembered being a child, Gaining control over light. He loved it, The attention got to him. Later on in life he was scared to lose it, So much so he broke himself to get power- To be recognized,There was no excuse for his crimes, Yet he beleived he was in the right. And with that his soul was dragged to the deepest pits of hell, For even the judgement of mortals will remain.
