Battle Time

Alicia's pov
Ok, pyro won't work on him considering he's a fucking demon. I could use the wind to maybe put him out? I blow the strongest gust of wind I can muster but it merely disorients him for a few seconds. If I use chlorokinesis that'd just be cruel since he'd kill them immediately. Cryo!

I gather all the moisture around me and my body goes cold. I expel frost onto him and it works for a minute or so. At the very least, it gives everyone a bit of time to recuperate. I look to see them panting and I know we won't be able to keep this up for too long. Think Alicia! Think! He soon heats out of it and he seems even more mad than before.

He spots me and throws fire my way which I dodge at first but he quickly flings another. I put my hands out and deflect it sending it flying back at him. He absorbs it as I presumed and I groan. "Stupid humans! Where is my daughter?!" He questions in an angry tone, the English passing my ears with his mother tongue in the background.

Didn't know I could do that... ok I guess. I could try to mimic water... there isn't any nearby. Someone help me out god damn it! I fly closer to him to inspect for any weak spots. I didn't have a second to even process it before his hand came up at me and he slapped me to the ground. To say I got the wind knocked out of me is an understatement.

"Fuck! Are you ok?!" Hela yells, I just put a thumbs up before letting it fall to the ground. Shit it feels like he broke all my fucking bones. Ok... I gotta get up. I scrape myself off the ground and to my feet. Pain running all throughout my body as it heals. I quickly glance at the others as I try to catch my breath and see them struggling.

"YO" I scream and he turns to me, I fly up quickly and place my hand on his forehead. It burns like a fucking bitch but I hold it for as long as I can. Using memory inducement to disable him, making him recall his most painful memory. The day he lost Delia. He screams as remembers and I angle my other hand towards his throat.

Using my energy to block his chakra so the effect is even more powerful now that it can't spread. He stumbles back and his eyes open, for the first time I feel real fear coursing through my veins. I've never been more scared in my life. It's like looking into a never ending darkness surrounded in flames. I quickly back away and he starts following me.

Good going dumbass. Now what are you going to do? I'm trying ok?! I shake my head and search around for anything to help me. The others try to grab his attention but he won't take his eyes of me. He throws fire towards them and I quickly counteract with a force field around them to stop it. Delia looks into my eyes over his shoulder and I quickly look away from her.

Fuck I got it! I snap my fingers making a bag appear in my hand. I pinch the dust between my fingers, deciding I need more if this is to work. Just as I'm about to use it he abruptly turns around. He sees Delia and quickly grabs her, burning her with his hands. She screams in pain and he drops her, luckily Hela catches her before she hits the ground.

A feel my body heat and a feeling forms in the pit of my stomach. I try to keep my feelings out of things, as I always lose control. However, seeing Delia get hurt was not something I expected. My love for her has fueled my rage for him. I scream as loud as I possibly can, whether that's from pain or seething rage I can't tell.

He stumbles at the shriek and I see everyone else cover their ears. "Ay fucker!" I yell at him, he grumbles as his senses come back. I think quickly and go back and forth with myself as he approaches. I can't. You have to. I grunt as I know I have no other option. Besides, he's a demon. He can't really die, right?

I charge at him full speed, focusing all my energy and strength into my hand. As my hand comes in contact with him it dawns on me. All my sensation has traveled to my hand, my nerves firing at unexplainable speed. As they connect I wail in pain and he growls in agony. He falls quite literally flat on his ass and I descend rapidly towards the ground.

I manage to catch myself at the last second with a flutter of my wings. I still hit the ground hard but not enough to kill me. He on the other hand is out for the count, well for now. This is yet another reason I don't use touch of death. Noted. I pant in exhaustion as I close my eyes. "Sweetheart? Are you alright? You fell really hard" Galadriel utters.

I open my eyes to see her standing over me. I don't say anything just yet as I try to regain my strength as quickly as possible. He'll wake up soon, at best we have ten minutes while he's down. I knew it would give me enough time to focus on how to take him down. Bingo! "Take Delia a-and the others back. I got this" I mumble, "we will most certainly NOT do that" Florence exclaims.

"You st-stubborn bitch" I choke out as I cough. Guess I fell harder than I thought. "Look. J-just focus... on healing Cordelia. I just need a minute, I promise" I swear to them. They look between each other but eventually agree and go over to help the others. Even from here I can hear Regina crying. Tears come to my own eyes as guilt washes over me.

I never should've let her come, but who am I kidding? I couldn't have stopped her even if I'd tried. A part of me feels bad because I wanted her here. I needed her to be here so I'd have a reason to fight. Not even that, she is my strength. She makes me strong. With that in mind I rise to my feet, looking over to see them helping her.

"Hellie! Help me pull him" I yell as she's the strongest out of them. She nods, gently stroking Cordelia's hair then coming over to me. I direct her to pull him into a cave. His body is cool now that he's essentially asleep. I return my hand to his forehead for the third and last time. Attempting coma inducement to buy us a little more time.

"You are so strong. I don't think I've ever met anyone braver than me, but you? I'm proud of you" Hela whispers as we get him settled, "thank you. That means more than I could ever express" I reply. I wipe a tear and sniffle as she brings me into a hug. "Ok, ok. Enough! I have a plan" I tell her, "alright. Let me hear it" she asks intrigued.
