Chapter 18

TW: Death

Recommend listening to Die with a Smile while reading this chapter:')

Geo faced Ambessa as she came down from her ship. 

"So you must be the goddess I've heard so much about."

Geo stood tall, the white metal mask covering her eyes and the light blue robes she wore billowing in the breeze. She held her head up high, not a hint of fear visible on her face.

"I am," she said, her voice steady and confident. "And I assume you are Ambessa."

Ambessa looked her up and down, a smirk on her face. "You don't look like much," she said dismissively. "But they say gods have all kinds of powers, eh?"

She walked forward and sized Geo up. "But personally, I don't believe a word of it."

Geo blew her off her feet.

Ambessa flew back, landing on the ground with a thud. She quickly scrambled to her feet, a look of shock and anger on her face. No one, no one, had ever been able to do that to her.

"Charge!" She screamed, and her soldiers charged towards them. Chaos broke out. Geo could not see Vi anymore in the carnage. 

Geo hit soldiers left and right with her staff, blowing them away. She felt her tattoo get hot and created a tornado that swept away the enemy soldiers.

But the enemy was relentless, and they kept coming. No matter how many soldiers Geo took out, more and more took their place. She was holding her own, but just barely.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw people fall around her. Pilties and Zaunites alike, being cut down by the onslaught. It made her stomach twist with fear.

Geo continued to fight, her breath coming out in gasps. Her arms and muscles were starting to ache. She was tired, and she could tell that the enemy was only getting stronger.

Geo saw a giant dragging a huge sphere covered with the same patterns as the hex core. She tried to get to it but there were too many soldiers. She couldn't get close to the sphere without fighting the soldiers.

She struck them back with her staff, but it felt like for every soldier she took out, two more were there to take their place. She couldn't get through, and time was running out.

All of a sudden a vile smell came around them and clogged up Geo's lungs. Geo then pressed a button on her mask which turned into a gas mask so she would be able to breathe. Enforcers ran through the green gas with Geo leading them.

The gas made it hard to see and even harder to breathe for the soldiers who weren't wearing masks. They began choking and coughing, blinded by the noxious fumes. It was a perfect opportunity for the Enforcers to strike.

The Enforcers took full advantage of the confusion, attacking the coughing and disoriented soldiers with brutal efficiency. Geo used her abilities to strengthen the gas, forcing it deeper into the soldiers' lungs.

 Geo felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped, but it was just Caitlyn. 

"Have you seen Vi?" Geo asked.

Caitlyn shot a soldier behind her before shaking her head. "We need to keep moving."

Geo saw an enforcer running to the sphere with an object in his hands. Geo nodded at Caitlyn and followed the enforcer, making sure no one stopped him. The enforcer placed the object on the sphere and signaled to Caitlyn. 

Geo couldn't see anything now, she was just hitting anyone within range. She then felt something hard hit her head and she blacked out.

When she came to, the air was clearer and she could see. But what she saw shocked her. Enfocers kneeling, spears against their head. Geo felt one right at her head. She couldn't even blow the guy behind her away, the spear would spear through her head right away. Her silver mask was long gone.
