CREED, The Fiery Storm

Death of the storm!

 

"What else are you going to throw at me? Kittens?!" Krystaliale asked sarcastically from within the thick smoke. She had survived but her form had reverted to the normal.                                                   

"I will cut them in half! I hate cats." She declared as she stood up. Jim had long realised that she was way stronger than he was but he was still willing to face her. Dominus was strong, a lot stronger than Jim, but he had a grudge against the red queen and that made him susceptible to making mistakes. Considering how small the power gap was between the two, there wasn't any room for error. Jim on the other hand though considerably weaker was fighting for the right reasons-that made him a better bet than Dominus. He held on tight to his sword with both hands; wind collected all around it from all directions.                                                                                   

"Tell me...do you want to kill me?!" Krystaliale asked him while moving closer. Jim hesitated to respond because he hadn't really thought about it.                                         

"No. But I have to stop you...somehow." Jim finally responded. She leaped forward to attack and Jim swiftly reacted with an attack of his own. Both attacks were lethal but his would blow off her head before her sword ever reached him. However, at the very last moment Jim changed his mind and chose to dodge her attack instead. There was something about her that was familiar or even lovable. Was it her eyes or her lips? Or perhaps the nose-he didn't know. Jim just couldn't bring himself to end the red queen's life.                                                                                                                                                          

"Hesitation-" she said and before he could take another breath, she was right there next to him, "It will be the death of you!"                                                                         

She stabbed him in the belly! It was far more painful than anything he had ever experienced or all of them combined. Djen, Soycoss, Takerine and Chronomus were just arriving at the scene. All of them together with Dominus watched in shock as the unknown variable was eliminated! Mikalor arrived soon after and he didn't want to believe his eyes!                                                                                               

"Krysta!!" He shouted, "What have you done?!"

The expression on Krystaliale's face changed to gladness and regret for a short instant. They seemed to have once had a special connection; her and Mikalor! However the expression turned into an evil grin rather quickly!                         

"It would appear I just extinguished the last tiny source of light you had!" She boosted. As she pulled the sword out of Jim's torso, it broke into several fragments! One piece remained entrenched in his belly while the rest dropped to the ground and disintegrated completely. Jim fell close by. His sword fell out of his hand-he had lost.

Krystaliale was now completely surrounded and she was unarmed!

"You cannot win-you have no sword!" Dominus pointed out to her. Fanarbey was standing quietly in an alley a short distance away. His queen seemed to be in trouble and yet for some reason he hadn't lifted a finger!-perhaps he didn't think she needed his help. All of a sudden, Krystaliale began laughing like a mad person.                                                                                                                   

"You fools!" She said, "You actually think I need a sword to beat you!"
