~• Sylistico •~

He left her on the rooftop, hoping James would hurry up and make his way to her so that she was safe, and listened as he heard James' pants stop and the door to the roof swing open. That was all he needed to hear before he pushed himself to fly faster, going back to the building where he had found Loaine. Elictros stood in the hole he had made earlier, looking up to the sky as he waited for him to arrive. Sylistico landed in front of him, a glare on his face.

"Let's get this over with, shall we?" Elictros nodded curtly, motioning to the building. When Sylistico made no move to enter first, Elictros shrugged before ducking and walking inside. Sylistico followed behind him, stopping just on the inside of the building as he didn't want to be too close to the alien. Elictros had walked over to the far corner, covered by the shade, and pulled his mask off. His ruby red eyes searched Sylistico's face as he began to speak.

"Sylistico is what they call you, am I right?" He nodded as an answer and Elictros continued. "I have spoken with Loaine Lorain many times but I'm afraid she has hurt you just as much as she has hurt herself. I can not allow your child to be born, Sylistico, it is the destruction of my people, of myself. It must die." Sylistico felt his blood boil in anger, a calmness over taking his features to cover his true emotions, but his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

"And the death of my wife as well, I see." Elictros nodded slowly.

"It is to ensure that no child shall come from the both of you." Sylistico scoffed.

"And you? What happens to you at the end of this?" Elictros shrugged, his calm manner making Sylistico angry.

"I have no visions of how I am to come from any of this. All I know is that the child will die along with its mother, if my people are to live." Sylistico shook his head in anger.

"I won't let my family die for the safety of yours. This has to end, no matter which of us gets hurt in the end." Sylistico watched as Elictros nodded, pulling his black mask back over his face.

"Then it shall." Sylistico couldn't contain his anger much longer as he flew towards Elictros, aiming to punch him but grunted as pain sparked throughout his torso. A long cut was running down his torso, his suit ripped from the cut. He looked up to see Elictros holding a dagger, similar to the one he was holding when Sylistico had saved Loaine, the silver blade red with his blood.

"What is that?" Elictros twirled the dagger in his hand slowly.

"I had this made while I was gone, a dagger made out of Pelstimotite, your weakness." Sylistico glared at him, the cut healing at a human pace, and was glad the cut wasn't deep. "You don't have very many, Sylistico, but a family only added to the list." Sylistico flew at him again, making sure to dodge the dagger, and punched Elictros into the wall.

He flew out, an angry vibe rolling off of him, and Sylistico caught his ankle as he tried to fly towards the hole in the wall. He flung him into the wall with a wooden door and Elictros crashed into it, the wall crumbling around him. Sylistico dodged the dagger as it was flung at him, a small cut forming on the side of his face. Elictros climbed out, his usually black suit white with the wall's dust. Sylistico flew at him but Elictros reached out and grabbed Sylistico by the throat.

"I'm tired of these games." Sylistico gripped the hand holding his throat as it tightened and gasped for a breath, coughing as soon he was able to get the hand away.

"Your suit..."

"Yes, I am fully prepared for you Sylistico. Pelstimotite is everywhere on me. I have you under my thumb." Sylistico frowned as he looked up at Elictros.
