Destinies Intertwined (Lightning x Male Reader)

Chapter 03: From comrade to lover

The Eidolon Odin raised his weapon, Hope got his boomerang ready and Lighting and I got our swords. For a moment we all stood there, the silence filled with tension, until Odin swung his shield and cast the spell Doom on Lightning. She cried out and staggered back, and I called "The spell will drain your life force! We have to defeat him or it'll kill you!" She looked at me in surprise, but then her expression hardened.

It was a good thing too, because at that moment Odin shot forward and began to unleash his Flourish of Steel attack on me. His blade swung around in a deadly dance, and it was all I could do to hold him off. He paused for a second, until he jumped up and swung his blade upward, smashing into mine and sending it flying from my hands. I looked at it in despair, but then Odin noticed that Lightning and Hope were hitting him with Water and Waterstrike. He glared at Hope and sent a Foudre + crashing down at him.

The bots hit in dead on, and he spasmed for a second before falling to his knees. "Hope!" Lightning and I call out. I ran over to him, my hands glowing with Soin magic, and luckily after that attack Odin was hiding behind Ullr's Shield. Lighting and I both hit him with a barrage of Soin spells, and his body glowed with green light. He slowly got to his feet and said "Thanks." "Don't mention it." I told him. Lightning switched back to attacking the Eidolon.

He look behind at her spun around, smashing his sword into the ground and causing a few pillars of rock to rise. She jumped back, but Odin continued after relentlessly. I knew that she wouldn't be able to keep under both the assault and the Doom spell. So, I called Indomitus back to me and yelled "Hey, golden boy!" Odin stopped and looked at me, and I waved my sword tauntingly. "Think you can beat, because I sure don't!" I called. His eyes flashed red, and shot toward me with the speed of a bullet. I jumped to the side to avoid being hit.

"Hope! Lightning! I'll keep him distracted, you take him down!" I yelled. They nod, and keep using water spells and attacks while I keep running, the enraged Eidolon chasing after me. If there is an experience you don't want to have, then it should probably be being chased by an enraged Eidolon swinging a double-ended sword twice the size of you. If that experience isn't on your list, add it.

Nonetheless, I kept on running and throwing a piece of garbage or rubble behind me. The Eidolon just kept chasing after me, and after a while I was starting to get tired. I had been running full-out for at least ten minutes, and my lungs and sides were starting to burn. I ran past a metal pipe sticking out of the wall, and my foot tripped on the end of it.

I yelped in surprise and flung my arms out. My hands absorbed the impact and received minor scrapes, but what concerned me was when I groaned and rolled over I saw Odin standing right over me. I gulped; he was even more intimidating up close. He slowly raised Zantetsuken, and I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact. Only... it never came.

There was the sound of ice freezing, and then of electricity, and I felt Odin vanish from above me. I opened my eyes to see Odin had turned and ran to Lightning and Hope, whose hands were covered in ice and sparks. They had saved me. I got up and ran to try and help them, but Odin turned around again and slammed his shield into me. The blow knocked the wind out of me and sent me flying, until I crashed into a wall and passed out.

(Point of view change: Lightning)

I watched as (Y/N) flew into a wall, crashed into it and fell to the ground. "(Y/N)!" I called, but he didn't hear me. His one eye was shut and he wasn't moving; the blow had knocked him unconscious. Feeling my anger rise a bit, I turned back to the thing that had cast the spell I could fell draining away at me. I hit it with a Water spell and then ran forward, but it blocked my strike with its shield and shoved me away. It turned to Hope and hit him with another Foudre +.
