Fight Till the End

Chapter 11: The Transformation

Angel and me finely got the fusion technique down. Meagan and Victoria were relieved. I don't think that they could of handled another day of trying to teach us. We all went out to celebrate. I guess that you can say it was also a celebration or remembrance for all of us that the fight was near.

After the celebration, I told everyone that I was going to be gone for a few days. I needed to make peace with the demons I had left. At least that's what I told her. What I was really doing was training, but this type of traing was different, different because I was trying something that I never tried before.

Awhile back I was told that too beat this god, I would have to let go of every emotion holding me back, fear, regret.... even love. So I came out here to a remote island, thousands of miles away from the nearest city, to try and see if I can do it.

I walked the small island to find a decent spot to try to see if I can do it. After hours of walking around, I came across a wide open field about a fifty feet wide. I went to the center of it and sat down. To do this, I would need to focus every emotion out of my head. All the guilt I kept inside since the accident, all the feelings I have towards Elizabeth, and all the regret I have for not being able to save any of my friends. I focused the emotions out of my head. I stood up with the heat of the sun beating down on me, put my hands into fists angling them down along my sides, and I tried to power up past my limit..... it didn't work. My legs gave way as if under a enormous pressure and I fell to the ground. Grabbing the sand beneath my feet I was out of breath. Then I had a thought.

"What if the key isn't letting go of my emotions," I thought, "but using them to embrace the power. Using it too realize that the only way to fight and save everyone that I care about... everyone that I love.... is to use all the pain, anger, guilt, regret and turn it into raw power."

The only draw back to having the amount of raw power that I'm going to unlock is that the power, if left unchecked, could kill me and anyone within fifty miles. It's easy to control with no one around to push my buttons, but when I am standing in front of this god, I don't know what he'll do. But with the day growing closer and closer, I was quickly running out of options and I had do do something.

I walked to the center agian, but this time I didn't sit. I stood there in the center, my hands clenched into fists with my arms angling down my sides. This time I didn't force all the emotions out of my head, I let them guide me. I felt my power rise to my maximum threshold. I then focused on Elizabeth, the girl that I loved more than life it self. Then out of nowhere, this vision of everyone that I knew was dead. They were laying on the ground with no life in there eyes. I look around to see what cause it, but everything was blacked out. The only thing I could see were their bodies. Then all of a sudden I felt a rush of power, the kind of power I could only dream of. The  Sand around me began to lift and spin around me, the trees began to sway back and forth, and the sky was growing darker by the second. I was starting cry with all the emotions running through me, my body felt like it was growing. My legs grew a centimeter in radius, my arms did the same. My body was going through a transformation, that much was clear.

I wasn't sure I was going to live through it, but I had no choice, I either die now risking my life to do what needs to be done or die later fighting a losing battle.

With my power still rising, I was beginning to wonder if it was going to stop. I choose to ride it out to the end. Then I reached a point where it felt like my power was leveling out. I was taller, my body changed, and it felt like I had unlimited power.

I walked over to a pond and looked at my refection in the water. My hair was perked up and now in stead of it being brown, it was glowing yellowish orange. I physically changed a lot. I figured that without incentive I couldn't keep this form long with out draining my power. Being that it was my first time in this form I really didn't know how change back to normal. First I just tried lowering my power down, but all that did was mask my power where no one could sense it.

Funny thing was that I felt calm and at peace. It was a feeling that I never felt before. It was a good feeling. Still transformed, I walked to the shore line and watched the sun set as a light ocean breeze brushed over my face. I looked over the horizon and memories of Elizabeth and me flooded my head. I recalled every moment that we had together.

I felt my power starting to drop and my body started too go back to normal. As soon as my body finshed the transformation, I dropped to the ground out of breath. Being in that form drained my power, just transforming took a toll on me, not just physically but emotionally as well.  I tried standing up, but I could barely move my arms and legs. I was able too prop myself up against a tree. I looked out to the horizon, I saw the sun dropping below the horizon.

"Beautiful." I said out loud. Even though there was no one around. The only thing I could think of laying there was that I wish Elizabeth was there with me. A few minutes later I passed out.
