The power that I had unleashed knocked Multiplex to the ground. The power however did not release Atlas. I looked over to my sister who was on the ground bleeding out.
"Hayden," I moved quickly and held her body up.
Blood was coming out from her back soaking my hands. If I moved her she would bleed out and no one could get here in time to save her. I could hear her heartbeat slowly fading.
"Guardian," she managed to get out before she started to cough up blood.
I held her stomach where the invisible energy sword was in her chest trying to contain the bleeding, "Don't speak okay."
Tears were streaming down my face and Multiplex couldn't care less about what just happened. I would stop him in a minute, my sister is going to die.
I had been so awful to her and she was going to die in my arms. I took off my hood and removed my mask. Her eyes widened with the little strength she had. Her hand moved up to cup my face, her hands were cold.
"I'm so sorry, for all I said. I never meant it. I'm so sorry it's all my fault," I was hyperventilating, tears were coming down quicker then I realized.
She moved a tear from my face, "I knew something was up with you. God you really are something."
Her eyes searched me and she moaned in pain trying to move but more blood had escaped.
"You were the best sister I have ever had. I didn't mean it. You are the best person in my life. You are half the reason I started this. You are supposed to be the hero."
"Leah stop," she said, cutting me off, "You are everything I wanted to be, you get to be you. You are this powerful person and you kick ass. And you are going to kick his ass yeah? For me. You have to finish this, you hear me? You get up, quit crying and be a legend. I didn't practically raise you to be weak."
I nodded and held her hand that was still holding onto my face, "Yeah." She called me a Legend without even realizing it.
"My Guardian Angel," Hayden's hand had dropped to the floor and her heartbeat had stopped. Her blood was on my hands. I switched off my gloves and let my hands breathe.
I looked over to Odessa who was on the floor holding her side in pain. I let power flow throughout my body like I had before. I wasn't going to kill her but I was going to make her feel so much pain.
She started to scoot away, "Leah please-"
I laughed, "Leah please? Are you kidding me? You tried to kill me! You didn't even try to stop your father!"
I tapped into my fathers power and a dagger formed into my hand and I paused it at her throat. Her eyes grew wide, "You ever try to kill me or my family and friends again you will die. Or if you share who I am, the same goes."
I stood up and she moved to her side crying in pain. I flicked lightning to shorten Atlas's cuffs. They released, "Take care of your sister."
I formed the short dagger into a sword. The sword was just like my suit. It was in some parts glowing and in my language it read Legend down the sword.
Multiplex was still by the machine and he had his hand on the lever getting ready to pull it., "Earth will die."
He was getting ready to pull the lever but I was faster this time. I took my sword and sliced off his hand he was going to pull it down with. He cowered back, holding onto his hand. I pointed my sword at his chest pointing it into his chest.
"This is over," I said and I took my other hand and made another sword and plunged it into the machine without looking and it shortaged out.
He released a tear, "You Legends destroy everything. All I wanted was my wife back."
"You thought that was going to bring her back? By destroying Earth? I may be a Legend but I am sorry about what they did and how it impacted your wife. For what it's worth I didn't have much control over it and if I could change it I would. Your wife helped protect me and I owe her everything. But you also took someone away from me tonight. Which you will pay for for the rest of yours. Oh and don't even think about speaking about my existence. Don't make your wife's decisions die in vain, yeah?"
He nodded and for once in his life he had no more words to say, he was powerless. Atlas walked over to me and embraced me into a hug.
"I want to take Odessa back to my planet. Give her a second chance. Multiplex corrupted her and I want to try with her, will you let me?"
I had hated Odessa but she wasn't the one who drove a sword through Hayden's chest. She never took a life like him. "How?"
"Odessa will make a clone and we will make it look like Multiplex killed his own daughter," Atlas answered and I looked down to Odessa who was crying.
I lowered down to her level, "You try to be like him or act like him. Or if you do anything out of line I will come deal with you myself. If Atlas wants to give you a second chance then fine. Got it?"
Odessa nodded, turning around to look at her father. I stood back up almost stumbling over, "He won't say anything and if he does I will kill him." Odessa turned back around quietly and she shook her body so fast another one of her was made. She took her own force field sword and drove it through her chest. Her clone fell to the floor and Atlas helped Odessa up.
Atlas opened a portal for Odessa to go through. He turned to me, "Pocket dimension. Prison almost till I can escort her to my planet."
Odessa hesitated to step through, "Thank you for the second chance."
I let one more tear fall from my eyes and I pulled away from the hug. I released my suit and so did Atlas. We were back to normal as the police a few minutes after stormed in.
They were all in awe and some stood before Hayden's body and Odessa's fake one.
Landon dropped to his feet when he saw Hayden on the floor. I ran over to him and sat next to him.
Atlas stood next to Multiplex watching over him, occasionally glancing down to his arm that no longer had a hand. I did smile at that one, I didn't have to but I did.
Landon pulled me into a hug and he gripped me tight, happy he didn't lose me too.
