Cold Flames

Chapter 40 : When it Rains...

Vice lazily stepped forward. "You can go ahead... She only buys Russian." He mocked loudly over his shoulder before she shouted in rage, charging enthusiastically. Svetlana yelled with each thrust she inflicted towards him. He easily blocked her attacks with his ice, but Kelekona didn't stay long to watch the show. Her speed was astoundingly fast, for she had made it to the other side of the explosion where my mother should have landed. I could see her dragging herself from beneath a pile of rubble, her clothes tattered and torn from the blast. Kelekona quickly assisted her, pulling her the rest of the way. I guess she was still trying to get her bearings together. She rubbed her face before inspecting her clothes. "Well that was quite a doozy." She laughed. "Thank you, my dear. That could have turned out much worse for everyone involved." She stated her thanks quickly before she went off looking for her fan. "I have to go back... the fight has begun. Vice is with his sister." Kelekona said plainly. I suppose giving my mom to choose her next move. My mom nodded quickly.

"Yes yes dear, I'll be joining you all once I find my fan." She said lightly with a chuckle. Kelekona stared at her momentarily wondering if she was impacted by the crash more than she let on. She shrugged it off, before making her return to Vice who was fiercely battling Svetlana. Just as Kelekona was about to reach Vice, she pivoted her foot and sensed the army of men who had shot five icicle arrows that made an elongated S formation, to which Kelekona easily dodged with a curve of her body, and an toss of her bubbling energy. "Can I kill them?" Kelekona asked me. Yes Kelekona, they're the enemy! Kelekona crouched to the ground, having energy gather around her before pushing herself off the ground towards their direction. Mid jump, I could feel her transform into the black scaled being that tortured Vice many moons ago. The force of the jump had her piercing through the sky like a bullet being shot in the air. I felt so free gliding as if nothing could touch me. Almost as much as when she's full dragon flying with her wings. Kelekona landed on one of the ice platforms they were flying on, taking hold of the shocked ice man. Her claw grabbed ahold of his head, stretching it back, before she dug her sharp teeth into his neck, ripping backwards, taking his esophagus with her.

I cringed at the action, trying to internally close my eyes so I wouldn't witness the horrific ways of her killing. I mean, I know she's a dragon, but shit like this just reminds me of the animosity she possesses. No wonder my mother feared her. "Careful Firen. I do this to feed, not to torture. That is more than the lack of responsibility this human race has shown to its own food." She lectured, to which I couldn't have a rebuttal for off the trueness of the matter. The ice man was ripped into more pieces as Kelekona's firey jaws had finished him off. In no time she was hopping away to the next victim she was able to get her hands on. Momentarily, Kelekona glanced back at Vice who had shifted into his kicking style, which I had realized as his serious fighting style. However Svetlana was determined to respond just as fierce. Her swords flew around in a whirl. Before it sliced through Vice's arm, he had a kick that connected to her jaw. She spun around only to block the next attack he hurled at her. Kelekona had turned her attention back to the coming danger ahead. The amount that Svetlana had brought with her was astounding to say the least. It seemed as though they came in hundreds, maybe even thousands, How did this family had so much at their disposal?

"Stop asking questions, Firen. It's distracting me." Kelekona hissed before slicing though a crowd of ice people who tried to shoot her down. Her speed was so fast I didn't realize the training I had undergone was drastically demeaned by the sheer force that was Kelekona. Perhaps her assistance was needed in the long run. This really put it into perspective for me. "I can't stand Ice people." Kelekona hissed in agitation, bringing my attention back to the scene at hand. It looks like they were trying to capture her with ice produced nets now, somewhat similar to the ice contraption they had her in my memories of her first surfacing when meeting Vice... or I guess kinda not Vice. I could see swarms of people moving over to Vice's direction as Svetlana's force became wildly aggressive with no real style or aim of what she was trying to do. Wisps of her hair had come out her neatly done bun, but that hardly blocked the deranged look in her eyes she had directed toward Vice. The more wild she became, the less Vice seem to counter. Kelekona switched her foot off a random character who bled from her vicious bite marks, changing her direction towards Vice and his growing number of opponents. The moment one Ice man shot a silver bullet, Vice's attention immediately reacted, dodging effortlessly while still holding off Svetlana's attacks.
