Beauty and The Beast (erisol eridan Ampora Sollux captor)

Destruction

Give it back.
Psionics soared out of my hands and raced at him at lightning speed.
But he wasn't playing around this time. He blocked every one of my attacks with an equal amount of magic or dodging.
Give it back.
I was about to throw another lot at him until the only thing I could see was blazing white.
Shit-
I didn't have time to block it, My body flew back at its force and I slid against the hard ground. I heard the sound of what seemed like boulders falling and looked up. He destroyed the roof of the small chapel we had beside the castle.
The only problem was that it was about to fall right on me.
My hands flew up and shot out pure energy to create a hole where I wouldn't get hit. Which worked for the most part. A few pieces of debris hit my head but they weren't big. They still did some damage, a few scratches here and there. Not enough to faze me.
I stepped out of the mess and didn't waste a second. He's really asking for it now.
If I can't hit it off of him I'll take it from him.
Red and blue streaks danced across our battlefield, trying to grasp him and tug him towards me.
Give it to me.
When I finally grabbed him he yelled defiantly and tried to shoot it, and obviously failed. I pulled him dangerously close to me and grabbed his shirt collar, my fist was ablaze with power and it burnt him and his shirt a bit. We both took a few short ridged breaths and stared at eachother. It wasn't over yet, I could tell by the look in his eyes. He has something up his sleeve
"Give it back."
He brought up his wand and pressed it against my neck. "No." he growled.
"Then I'll take it by force."
And with that I swung, no, whipped him at the nearest wall. He hit it so hard he hacked up blood. I heard cracking from his chest. Probably a few broken ribs... Well now we're even, since I can feel blood running down my face from pieces of that damn roof hitting me.
When he hit the wall Kar fell out of his pocket and rolled out onto the rink of wood, rock, and blood. We both bolted for it, as well as my psionics. Eridan gained the advantage when he decided that blowing up the court was clever (I have to admit, it was). I watched as my psionics broke apart. I had lost sight of Karkat, and Eridan was running wildly. I recklessly open fired on him and actually got him since he wasn't paying attention to me.
Why does he want it so badly?
Think Sollux, why would Eridan want a small black ball that seemed to do nothing?
Wait. When I woke up this morning there were burns on the floor from its immense heat.
Was he there and witnessed its power? If so, why would he even want it then?
He has plenty of stuff so I don't understand why he considers this so important. He's rich, stubborn, and spoiled. What else does he need?
I got slammed with more magic shots, they were unavoidable, small but in large numbers. I had no idea he could fight this way.
He scurried across the ground, injured from my hit, or hits. Who knows.
I watched as he found Karkat but he started to scream. Spikes of ice began to shoot everywhere, they were hitting him.
Out of fear I began to run towards him. He'll get killed if he stays there. Why am I afriad of him dying?
When I got a few yards in front of him I learned that I had made a big mistake.
He wants to use it as a weapon.
I would have probably died if I realized that a second later.
A shield made of my psionics spinned up in front of me. Glassy pieces of ice ricocheted off of it and even cracked my shield.
He can't be allowed to have this.
The spikes got bigger and my shield started it give away at the edges. I backed up while keeping an eye on Eridan and his newfound weapon.
Why is it even freaking out like this? How is it generating this much ice?
I need to do something, and fast. Or else I'll end up a bloody mess and he'll be the crazed victor.
I backed up more as my shield chipped away, this is tiring me out. I don't have a lot of energy left for this.
Eridan didn't stop or wait for me to do something, so I decided that the best thing to do is probably the worst possible attack ever when it comes to my safety.
I call it running in blindly and knocking him out.
I totally caught him off gaurd, he stopped for a second and stared at me running at him. My psionics burst into my balled fists and my feet, giving me a good boost. My hands collided with his face. One, two, three hits. He stumbled back, blood dripping from his nose and mouth. He's not out yet.
I acted on impulse and gave him a hard uppercut, the psionics threw him backwards, Karkat flew out of his hands and landed at my feet. He landed About 10 feet away, laying motionless.
I picked up the precious item I bled for. It was freezing, my fingertips became layered in frost. What do I do with it? I need a pouch or something to put it in. An idea popped in my mind and I ran over to a bloody and unconscious Eridan, ripping out fabric from random places. My hand is covered with frost and it's starting to trail up my arm. It's so cold that it feels hot. How did Ed handle holding it? I put Karkat in the cloth and wrapped it up with my unfrozen hand. I then tucked it in my shorts so I wouldn't loose it again. Still cold but it's not doing weird shit. Well it is but- you get what I mean.
I observed the damage that we did. Places in the ground had holes and were broken up, some filled with shards of ice and water, the church got completely decimated. We wrecked the place. I'll probably have to clean it all up myself.
I had to put in some effort to pick up Eridan, his weight nearly made me faint from exhaustion. I have to get us fixed up though. I need to help him. I gave it everything to hurry and run into the castle, my bare feet hitting the ground and my panting was the only thing I heard as I ran through the castle towards the infirmary. Black spots sprang back into my vision but I pushed through. I passed many halls until white doors told me I was at my destination. I pushed them open with my back and I heard gasps from behind.
Jane and Aranea ran over to me. Both talking at the same time, questioning what happened to us and stuff like that.
"We had a fight."  I croaked, my voice giving away to the sudden pain in my chest.
Aranea pulled Ed off of me and layed him down on a bed while Jane guided me to the one beside him. I layed down in relief and watched Jane get to work. She closed her eyes and placed her hands above me. A few seconds later I felt my energy coming back. I didn't feel as tired and weak. I can't really see  her power but I know it's there. She can heal others very quickly, and so can Aranea. That's why they're our nurses.
After about five or so minutes I felt okay again. Eridan was healed but he still slept. The only other problem left is the mess outside. Ed could easily just tell me to clean it up and I would have to do it. Rules are rules sadly.

I went outside and cleaned up a little anyways.  I can't make the place perfect but I can pick up all the debris and put it somewhere. I tend to throw the things that could be used as building materials towards the slums. I have a soft spot for that place, and I know there are scavengers that venture far to find anything that they can use. I threw most of the church over the hill with my psionics. Everything else which was mostly rock went in a pile beside the training area. I can't do much about the cracks and crevices in the stone but this is enough for me. I hope it's enough for Ed.

After doing my exhausting daily chores I took a loaf of stale bread from the kitchen and went up to my room. I'm skipping dinner, I really want to avoid Eridan. After today, I'll be sure to lock my doors and hide Karkat. And that's exactly what I did. I hid it under my bed, and I put my bell by the door so if Ed does find a way in it'll wake me up.
So what should I do? I have about 3 hours of light left. I've locked myself in my room, I wasn't really planning to have fun.
my mind I still showing flashes of our fight. Especially when Eridan somehow shot ice around like a maniac. I want to know how to do that. I want to have that kind of power too, even if I won't be able to use it. I want to control something for once. Anything. Even if it can kill.
I walked back to my bed and took karkat out from under it. It didn't feel like anything. Not cold, nor hot.
How come I can't ever equal up to him? He looks so weak, and unstable, but in reality he truly is the strongest in our whole entire kingdom. Other than Feferi of course.
He could control this thing in an instant.
I lifted it with psionics and twirled it about.
It had changed temperature, it felt colder. But that was it. Nothing else.
I don't know how long I sat there staring at it, hoping and wishing for more. But by the time I gave up it was dark out.
I sighed and slid it back under my bed.
May as well go to sleep.
Once I got in bed I heard the pat of someone walking. I don't know how but I knew it was Eridan, he's probably going to his room. The patting stopped at my door. Everything was silent for a few seconds. I held my breathe in anticipation. Will he come in?
I heard him start to walk again, but the sound was fainter.. Good. I'm glad he didn't come in. I don't feel like dealing with the damn idiot.
I feel like sleeping, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
