Sun & Purity Vs. Darkness - A new Legend (Marissonshipping) [Wattys 2016]

Chapter 8: Friendship + Love = Despite

When the creature arrived the shore the group saw, that it was a serpent or to be precisely a king cobra. She had red glowing eyes and showed her poison fangs threatening. The upper side of her body was blood red and her underside was light orange. Her whole body was surrounded by blue flames, which flared frenziedly.

Because of the appearance of the king cobra Manon grabbed scared one of Alan's arms.

When the serpent saw that, she glared at Alan and Manon and said angrily:

''I'm Kiyo, inferior of master Amanojaku. I was given the task to watch over Agata Forest and to get rid of the chosen one. You might have beaten Bakeneko, but you won't defeat me. I'm much stronger and ruthless than her.''

Hearing that, Alan clenched his fists, turned his head to the side to Manon, looked her in the eyes and ordered serious:

''Stay back!''

Manon nodded, let go of his arm and ran to the rock, which was on the left side of the entrance of the cave, where Madame Fawn's house stood. Although she was really scared she watched carefully what happened next.

This whole scene made Kiyo angrier and she fired a blue fire beam at Alan. He, on the other hand, hadn't gotten enough time to release Lizardon out of his Pokéball and hadn't seen the attack coming.

When Manon saw that, her eyes widened and she screamed horrified:

''Alan!!''

She stood up quickly and wanted to run to him to protect him, but before she could even start to run time froze. Amaterasu drew with the tip of her tail a loop. Then time moved on and a strong gusting wind suppressed the fire beam and saved thereby Alan. Relieved Manon hid behind the rock again.

This intervention of Ammy made Kiyo angrier than before and she shouted furiously:

''How dare you to protect him!''

''Because we are friends, right furball?'' Issun stated seriously.

Amaterasu replied with a bark and made herself ready for the fight.

''Friends? Don't make me laugh! Friendship doesn't mean anything. They deceive you sooner or later. And love isn't much better. You can't trust anyone. I speak from experience.

A long time ago I was a normal woman and had found the man, whom I wanted to marry. But on the day of the wedding, he jilted me in front of the altar. A few days later I discovered, that he and my best friend had an affair since months. On that day they had died for me. I don't know how, but my uncontainable rage and cruel thoughts of revenge turned me into the self I am now. With this incredible power, I killed them. It felt so good.

I hate people, who believe in friendship and love. I especially despise men and every male creature.'' Kiyo explained while glaring the whole time at Alan.

''If you hate male creatures that much, why are you working for Amanojaku?'' Issun asked irritated.

''Because he is unfortunately stronger than me. I'll work for him until I am able to defeat him. Once I finished this, I will rule Nippon.'' She answered.

''Enough of talking! Let's fight!'' Alan said serious, while he got out Lizardon's Pokéball and threw it in the air.

It opened and released Lizardon. But Kiyo wasn't impressed by that and smirked when she looked at Manon.

''Time to get rid of the chosen one.'' she said still smirking and fired a blue fire beam in her direction.

Seeing that, Alan's eyes widened. No! I won't let that happen. This time I'll protect her.

''Lizardon, Flamethrower!'' Alan commanded seriously.

Lizardon took a deep breath and spat an orange fire beam at Kiyo's to stop it. But she turned to Lizardon while keeping her fire beam alive. Both beams collided and provided a test of strength. Unfortunately, Kiyo's attack was stronger. It broke through Lizardon's attack and pushed him backwards to Alan, so that he slammed into the wall on the right side of the entrance of the cave, lost his consciousness thereby and fell to the ground.

When Manon saw that, her eyes widened, she stood up and ran as fast as she could to Alan's side. There, she shook him lightly and tried desperately to wake him up. But it didn't work. Her eyes got glazed.

This whole scene made Kiyo angrier and she fired another fire beam in her direction. Manon looked up and stared horrified at the approaching attack. Then she turned her gaze to Alan again and held him tight trying to protect him. She closed her eyes and waited for the attack to hit.
