The Power Within (A Gidbo_Mido Production)

Chapter 4: The Power You Can See

     "A-Akia?" I heard my mother's weak voice calling me from a far. I turned back to look at her. She tried to stand up, but fell onto her arm. She had a bad cut on her stomach that had her soaked with blood. Blood trailed from the corners of her mouth and her arm was twisted at an odd angle. Anger boiled up inside of me, casuing my finger to twitch.

     "Mom you just sit tight, I'll take care of this." I said turning back to the deltas in front of me. "Tash, move mom and dad into the house."

     "You got it!" She nodded, pulling down her goggles and dashed back grabbing my mom and then my dad. She blasted off into the house, dropped them off, then skidded to a stop ten feet to my left.

     "Emma, Cas," I yelled turning towards where the party was gathered, "help my parents! Their wounds look fatal, so be quick about it!" Casper ran forward and hefted up my parents and pulled them into the next room. "Alright," I said to myself, "how do I work this. It looks kinda solid but is ripples like a fluid. So, what am I. Delta or an omega?"

     I closed my fist and the shield dissipitated. Well, it kinda melted. It broke down on itself and and slid over to me, almost like snake. When it touched me, it started to cover my body. It covered my clothes and made it into an armor of some kind of gold polymer. Metal bands wrapped around my shoulders and my chest, but it was still lightweight. My boots now had metal spikes rising out of them and so did my nuckles. My helmet, was just a golden bulb around my head, except for over my eyes. The visor was green, the color of emeralds, and shiny.

     "Okay," I said looking at my arms, "I'm totally fucking into this." I stuck out my hand again and a fully golden executioner's blade appeared in my hand. I started running and saw Razor running at me too with his swords out. Our blades connected sending red hot sparks flying out. His face was right against mine, as we pushed against each other trying to gain the upper hand

     "You're Matatabi's powerless little brat aren't you?" he spoke in a gravely voice and his breath smelled like rotting fish.

     "As you can tell I'm no longer powerless," I said gritting my teeth, "but yeah, I am. What's it to you?" I pushed him back and he brought his blade down onto my head, but I teleported behind him before he could hit me. I kicked him in his back and he fell forward onto his stomach. I swung my blade down in a wide arc, but he flipped onto his back and blocked with one of his blades.

     "Well I thought you would want to meet your grandfather, before you killed him!" He said. His mask de-materialized to show a face with such familiar features. He had the same eyes dark brown eyes, the same nose, and the same coffee colored skin tone. He looked exactly like my mother, except for a huge scar across the right side of his face, from his eyes all the way down to his chin If you want answers come and find me." He said. I stopped in my tracks, and he took this time to swipe at me with his other blade. I jumped back, but the blade grazzed my chest. It cut through my armor and had put a deep cut into my chest. Energy started to pool around my wound and began to heal it. Once it was done, it began to repair my armor.

     "Now would be a good time to jump in you guys!" I yelled at my brother and sister waving my blade around in the air. Tash zoomed off to two enemies behind me. Eric blasted down to Razor and dropped both of his knees into his head. He shot up and blasted a huge planet sized ball of fire right at him. Tashinga was taking on the two guys on her own. She was dodging blades left and right at amazing speeds and sending well placed punches and kicks when needed. She ducked under a katana and flipped over a fist. She dropped into a handstand and spun around on one hand. Pushing herself up, she kicked one of them in the face and sent him flying to me. I stabbed him right in the back, my blade appearing out of his stomach.

     I threw my sword at the other guy and it broke up into a ball of energy. It captured him and he thrashed around trying to break through. I opened my palm and spikes rose from the outside the ball. I closed my hand into a fist and all at once, the spikes pushed into the center of the bulb. The delta in the middle was dead instantly. The bubble popped and he fell from mid air. My suit disapeared and the fatiuge hit me. I fell to my knees, panting as the pain from my wound finally hit me. Everything was silent until the party started cheering. The party ran out gathering around me, lifting me into the air. I saw in the widow my parents, smiling at me, as my father helped my mother stand.

     I looked around and watched as Razor stood up. He started flying off, not looking back. I made I eye contact with my sister and she pulled down her goggles and speed off following him. I couldn't stop thinking about what he said to me, right before he attacked me.

     "If you want answers come and find me."
