INEFFABLE

Ignite

POV- Anthea

     I saw the figure in front of me that Abanus warned me about. I couldn't tell if it was a womanly or manly figure. It could be a monster too. I didn't know how to handle the current situation. The wind was a scare tactic to take the Catalyst with me so I can bring her back to my best friend. I was supposed to be dead, but events happened and I am now alive. I will explain later.

"I need the catalyst to come with me," I stated calmly and sincerely.

"No. I don't think so," said the man by it's side.

He was a rather light figure. He didn't seem to have much darkness to him. I couldn't understand why he had survived in front of the catalyst itself. He had golden hair that was incredibly wavy. A golden blonde I would like to say. He had golden eyes and he wore a few bits and pieces of armor. Mine was hard to see; especially in the mirror world. This place has long been forgotten and currently I am not sure how she managed to get company by it's side. I was taller than the both of them. Last I had checked I was around 11 or so feet tall.

My hair was long as well, however I was thinking of cutting it. I had my helmet back on to make sure that I kept any possible injuries to a minimum. These people could be very hostile.

"I have to. It's my orders," I stated to the man.

"Fuck your orders. I'm not letting you take her," he spat at me.

"Oh? So it's a her?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes she is. She's not an IT," he said as he spat as me again.

"What's your name sir?" I asked him in a sincere tone out of his disrespect.

"Justice, and I don't care what your name is," he huffed.

"Allow me then. I am Anthea," I said as I took a step back.

"I can take care of myself, Justice," she said as she lightly shoved him out of the way.

"My dear, what is your name? I am quite curious," I asked her politely.

"Not saying," she scoffed.

"It would help me wouldn't it?" I asked.

"The Catalyst is fine," she said behind her mask.

I couldn't describe her but I was pretty sure this was the one who almost led me to my demise. Abanus as well I was sure of it.

"Alright Catalyst. Here's what I'm going to offer you. Either you come with me and leave your friend here and make it easy on me, or I have to fight and maybe take some lives. Tell me, which one is it gonna be?" I asked politely.

"I'm not leaving," she crossed her baggy sleeves.

"One last chance. Which is it going to be?" I gritted my teeth.

"I said. I'm. Not. Leaving," she said as she used some of the virus to form a black hand and to shove me backwards a bit.

"Hard choice it is," I said as I began to pick up the winds.

     I tried grabbing her but she powered herself up again and blasted me back. I crashed into the mirror waters and looked up with a ringing in my ears. I looked at her through my helmet in shock at her power. She took off her mask and began to laugh manically as more virus left her eyes. I scrambled back to my feet and dodged her next attacks. I blasted the wind her way and she kept pushing out more virus. There was a storm heading in and I began to keep my distance from the storm.

      I tried keeping the virus out so I didn't get sick. I blasted her off her feet and she began to slide back. I had my chance. I ran forward with the help of the wind and blew a kick to her neck. She coughed and spat out black blood. Justice rushed to her aid while shooting smooth bolts of electricity my way. I only got hit by one. Those were powerful bolts of lightning. I was messing with two very powerful individuals.

      Justice was clearly upset and turned to me after making sure the catalyst was okay. He had rage in his eyes. He shot more bolts of lightning. With each shot, the lightning became wild. It bursted into cracks and zig zags. I jumped and flipped out of the way so that way I could avoid injury. I dodged and got each closer with each shot. I got close enough to where I blasted wind his way and he got knocked down. I kicked him right to the head.

      "Fuck you," he said as he tried pushing himself up.

      I slammed both of them down with wind so they couldn't get away. The Catalyst looked to be trying against the winds while Justice was filled with rage. He looked up at me and blasted another last resort of lightning. I dodged it once again with agility.

      "I don't think so," I said with a sneer on my face.

      "I will shove you so far into the next planet that you will be begging for not my mercy, but the universe's," he said while he gritted his teeth.

      "I highly doubt that," I said with a chuckle.

      The wind continued to hold them down and I waited for my backup to get here so I could take them away. I accidentally let go of the wind on justice and he clocked me in the head. I almost fell down.

       The storm had settled in by now and I could barely see a thing. I kneed him into the air and blasted the wind upwards and into a circular motion to get an eye in the storm.

       I flew up and began to blow punches into him. My wind was still on the catalyst. There was flashes of lightning from Justice. I felt a fiery flame in my heart that ignited more passion into me to get rid of them both. I began to see flashes of light. The flashes got quicker and quicker. It began to hurt my eyes and vision. I got knocked out of the sky by a great force of light. The storm disintegrated with ease and I crashed into the mirror waters. I had a few broken bones from the blow. Whatever landed that hit had much more power than the 3 of us combined.

The pain began to burn as if an immense heat was branding itself into my skin. I winced in pain. I felt clanging of metal land on the planet's surface. Heavy metal too. From the vibrations I couldn't tell since it seemed distant. The pain still stuck around. I'd be feeling this one awhile. If I got out of here awhile, I'd have to go into hiding.

I felt the pain seep into my eyes. I began to cry to try and get it out. The thumping of the ground got louder. I waited there for a few moments in pain as I lay there in the ground. I got lifted up by a strong hand on my neck.

I looked through my visor to see a woman. A Woman with gold hair and bright eyes. Her hair flowed and she stood in golden armor with a sword at her side.

She ripped my helmet off and spat in my face.

"Hope doesn't die," She started off, "It only ignites and comes back stronger."

Ignite. What a word. She threw me incredibly far. That was the golden knight. I heard so many stories of her. I thought she was dead.

But no. She wasn't dead.

She came back. And this time. She was stronger than ever.

She was ready to ignite.

Ignite.
