Amethyst Genesis: Bleeding Ruby

Held by My Hearts intentions

In a flash of light, Lyra swung at Jeta with her longsword, causing light to  flash from the blade , blinding Hal. Jeta remains unfazed, as if he reads her like a book, he slices at her jaw splitting it open.  She stumbles back pissed at Jeta, she lunges at him and they exchange flurries upon flurries of slashes and strikes, ringing metal and shattering steel deafened the area around them. Aria was unable to shoot at Lyra, due to Jeta's close combat, the two clashed repeatedly like wild monsters.

Lyra steps back, causing the two to pause their fighting. "Why did you stop?" Jeta said panting, recovering from the strain, eye veins strained from reading her. "Aria, you see what happened didn't you?". Lyra calmly said. Aria looked around scoping the scene. Her eyes widened as she saw what Lyra did. Hal wasn't behind Jeta or Fey anymore, Hal was in her arms. "Jeta, goodbye." She laughs psychotically and flies off, miles away from Jeta in the sky. Jeta's eyes widen as  she flies off. "DAMN IT DAMN IT!!" Jeta screams as he punches the ground causing a  dent in the ceiling. "Jeta. We can still reach there in time." Aria says resting her arm on his shoulder. "Very well." Jeta stands up. "Lets get this done."

Meanwhile in the sky...

Lyra is flying to up close to her lair. "HEY PUT ME DOWN!" Hal says as he flops and swings his hands everywhere, slapping her in the face as hard as pool noodles, she lands calmly at the entrance of her lair, its harbor full of airships, a port in the sky. Hal peered below at the city. It seemed like small little Christmas lights below, instead of a sprawling metropolis he once remembered the terrace being. Hal grew quiet as she entered the gates. He wondered how the government let Lyra' have this. And of they were aware of her existence. She knocked on the gates in the base, Soldiers greeted her and kneeled, it became apparent, the world which he knew all his life was her machinations, her puppet show, they wore the same uniform the man he fought in the streets, it was all her facade, she ran the world at her fingertips.

She walks in the entrance. princess carrying Hal and resting him on a cushion and sits on top of his hips. She lifts up his shirt, drooling at the sight, and eyes his body and touches his bare skin, Hal yelps and squirms back but to his surprise by her touch, his bones started to snap and crunch, Hals body was mended by Lyra's touch. Her body manipulation could heal wounds. "And here, you'll need this". She stretches her hand and touches the nub where his arm once was, she reconstructed a perfect remake of the arm she once cut off a few nights earlier. Not only healing wounds but regrowing other's limbs too?! She stops touching his bare skin, stands up, wiping her face from the drool, and notions him to walk with her down the hallway.

He hesitantly follows her around her compound. The furnishings and interior design was highly advanced with lights and metallic makeup and material. "One lifetime I fell for you, you stood for your visions of a free creation, and I supported you, but you never showed me a care or a thought." Lyra started to say while walking ahead of Hal.

Lyra turned to him, "Now you have no choice but to comply. Kara is locked in her prison, and I will kill her if you don't do as I say." She smiles at him lustfully. "I have to save Kara even, if its involves Lyra's wants." Hal tries to resolve himself and make the sacrifice for Kara. "Very well then, I—ll do it," Hal says holding back tears. "I'm happy you made the right choice. Follow me." She brings him out to the balcony with a rather open view.

Several maids set up a superb savory selection of the finest dishes: Verdanian Elk puffs, Tinseled Ice Wyvern liver, and Sautéed sky whale steaks. "Call this our first date, out in this balcony above the illuminated city, isn't this romantic?" Lyra says as she pulls back a chair for Hal. She hands him a glass of sparkling water and holds a glass for a toast. Hal reluctantly replies and sips the glass, his heart races in fear slowly calmed down. He slowly faded in and out of consciousness as he took a bite at the steak. He sees Lyra's devious smirk. "What did you do.....?" Hal groggily said before collapsing to the floor. He was drugged, by a neurotoxin from Lyra. "How did she do that..." was his last thoughts before he passed out. "Nothing dear....." Lyra giggles at Hal. She lifts the unconscious teen over her shoulder.

At the prison cell...

Kara was waiting in her cell and hears a door open. She sees Lyra Walk in holding Hal in her arms. Her eyes widen. "Hal! Lyra i'll bathe in your blood when I get out! He's mine!" She internally screams. "Well, isn't this lovely, you'll be helpless to watch as I do as i please with him." She touches his chin as she runs her other hand around his leg. Kara's eyes widen as she repeatedly hits the barrier, to no avail as she unbuttons his shirt. "Lyra!!" She screams repeatedly punching the barrier. She smiles as she drags her tongue on his bare neck. It was hopeless, Kara was trapped and forced to watch Hal getting taken advantage of. She hears Hal gasp as she touches a sensitive part of his neck. "So soft and vulnerable, he even makes sounds as I run my hands round his body." She kisses his neck and bites it softly, causing a sleeping Hal to blush. She runs her hands down to his belt, playing with buckle as she removes the pins. She removes the last buckle before playing with his pants. The moment Lyra leaned into kiss Hal, A primal instinct awoke in Kara's heart and genes. She felt an ancient desire wake up in her; a burning rage, she had gone berserk.
Kara starts to shriek and starts to smash at the barrier with more force built up, To Lyra's surprise, the barrier starts to crack. She screams with great fury shattering the barrier and lunges at Lyra. Kara tears at her violently and starts ripping flesh and bone from Lyra's face. "MINE MINE, MINE!" Kara screamed as she ripped off Lyra's Head in a primal fury. She smashes and caves her face in slashes at her throat and pulverizes her with her claws. The blood sprayed over the grey room like red paint over a canvas.

Kara turns to the unconscious Hal and lifts him in her arms delicately not to hurt or harm him, she runs out to the courtyard and gets cornered by Lyra because of a dead end. She sets Hal down and prepares to fight this monster head on. Suddenly a motorcycle roars its engine. How did it get up in the sky, nobody knows! Jeta was driving it through and rammed the wheels, right in Lyras's skull shattering it to pieces. He was pissed at her, Kara backs away from the two and feels a tap to the shoulder. Aria was behind her leading her to an airship piloted by Fey. "Who are you people, wait... you're the terrorists on the news! What do you want?!" She asks cautiously baring her teeth still having adrenaline flowing through her veins.
"Friends of Hal, we are here to help." Aria says calmly. Kara reluctantly carried Hal into the ships opening and hops in on a seat, anything is better than being with that monster. The 3 were helpless to watch Lyra and Jeta face off. The ship's engines revved up and started to fly down below, "We have to evacuate the people under the island, Its not going to stay up for long." Aria commands the two. "Who even are you guys? How do you know Hal?" Kara says calming down from her berserk state. Aria sighs, turning to answer her question. "I'm Aria, this idiot here that is piloting the ship is Fey and the man who saved your butt back there was Jeta." The ship managed to land on a helipad on the city below, and Fey rested the engines. And the two rushed out to the center town square under the island. Aria starts shooting warning shots causing panic and discord amongst people running for their lives. Fey came into to help people from trampling each other, the people were successful evacuated despite the large population.
Kara hugs Hal tightly and protectively as she watches them evacuate the area. "They really are good people. They just come off as villains and terrorists..." she realizes that Lyra condemns them as terrorists to her world because they oppose her will, they resist and fight her. "Hal. When we get home, you aren't leaving, I told you to stop getting in to trouble." She smiles and kisses his forehead as he slept.
While the 4 were down on the city below. Jeta was facing off against Lyra. "It always comes down to us fighting, you never relent, you don't quit and give him up." Lyra hisses at him while summoning her sword. 

"You know this is wrong." Jeta growls. 

"Right, wrong, doesn't matter, its the winners who decide that. The winners who get the spoils they get to define what happens or not in the end..." Lyra sighs. 

"Well, I guess i have to be the winner in this story then." Jeta says drawing his blades and the two clash...
