Her New Battles: sequel to The Keepers Daughter

chapp 8

Will include swears.

"You." Aphmau glared, and was followed by a blonde, with piercing blue eyes, similar to one of my bestest friends. She ran up to me, with the biggest smile in the world.
"Loki!" She cried, and hugged me.
"Hi, Dayia. I need your help. Levin is not responding. Can you cover?"
"Anything for you." She smiled, and ran to Garroth, who was currently stuck in the wall.
"Levin. Levin, are you alive?" I said, while pumping his chest.

"ROWLAND!" Quillen shouted, as he dropped to the ground.
"Cmon, Cmon," She said, bent over his body, pumping it. I watched Quill, and stood in fear.
"Rowland... please..." Quill continued pumping his chest, and Rowland snapped back to life.

Right now, I reflected on that day with Quill and Rowland.
"Levin, I will NOT lose you!" I began to cry, and his pulse still didn't move. I sat over him until I was yanked backwards.
"LEVIN!" I screamed, and kicked backwards.
"You motherfucker!" Gene shouted, hopping backwards. I did CPR on Levin, and what felt like forever passed.
"Loki, we need to go." Liochant tapped my shoulder. I was too focused on Levin to be distracted by his arrival.
"LEVIN!" I sobbed.
"We can help him when we get back. We. Must. Go. Lady Aphmau is almost defeated,  sir Garroth has a concussion, that other girl is telling us to go."
"Lev.. Lev, come back!" I screamed, and for the briefest second, his eyes weakly opened.
"Like I would leave you ." He said, and then closed his eyes again.
"Stay, and hold on." I said. His breath stopped, and his body became limp.
"LEVIN!?" I screamed, fear like a knife digging it's way through my heart.
"Oh, little Loki, you just froze him. He's fine, just, everything in his body is completely frozen. You, basically stopped time for him." Shad threw at me while being thrown across the room.
"MOTHER FUCKING BITCH!" I cried, although happy he gave me an answer.
Speaking of bitches, Gene stood up, and dragged Lio back.
"Let. Him. Go." I said, my thoughts wandering from Levin.
"And what are you going to do about it? You are no one, and you are no better than anyone else. I watched what you did in the Brightport square. Nice work, killing one of our spies. But you, heh, you're no better than Zane Romeave. You are just a child, lost and alone, with nobody that cares."
I stood up, and whipped around, my heels burning on the hard netherbrick.
"Wrong."
"And why's that?"
"I am Loki Ramirez, daughter of Enki the Keeper and Saige Ramirez, fated to be your end. From my first breath, I was destined to end your pathetic life, Gene. I was supposed to rid the world from you. I will keep that promise, and maybe you won't die today, but remember. When you do, I will be the last person you see. I fight for my deceased family, My mother Saige, my brother and once best friend Xander, my little sister and the sweetest person Celeste, and my littlest sister, who I grieve that couldn't have a longer life, than what I could give her, Lily, and my father, who was brought back only to be destroyed by the monster that you have the nerve to call you master, Scott. I know that wasn't his real name, and that he was Enki the Keeper. But that dosent matter. I ran, and was then taken. I watched my entire purpose burn in front of me, and almost killed myself. I was stopped by YOUR BROTHER , WHO ACTUALLY HAS A HEART, and then was sent away for FIFTEEN YEARS, by a madman known as Zane Romeave, the horrific man you compare me to. I came back stronger, and I am here to warn you. Gene, watch. Your. Back." I said, and took slow steps to him through the process. At the end, I was up in his face.
"I can't care. Sorry." He threw Lio back, and smiled at me.
"I'm not scared of you, nor will I ever be."
All I could do was shove him aside, and walk on to Shad.
Everyone had watched me confront Gene, and I had all eyes on me.
"Nice speech. So, since this escalated quickly, and everyone you care about most is in this room, And may I remind you can be killed with a snap of my fingers. So, ill try again. Where's Alina?" He smiled, and put Aphmau under his foot.
She looked at me with desperate eyes, and pleaded me to do the right thing. To save everyone in this room.
I'm so sorry, Aphmau. I must decline,
"Alina..."
"You have to the count of three."
"I... she..."
"1..."
"Why should I tell you?" I glared.
"2..."
"Alina is..."
"Thr-"
"Alina is in Tula!" I said, and went for a weapon that wasn't there.
"Where?" Shad said.
"With Michi and Sasha."
"Michi and Sasha?"
"Yes."
Irene, er Aph, let this work. I'm sorry Sasha and Michi, but you deserved it.
"Thank you. I will have Shadow Knights go after you answer your final question."
"Which is?"
"Loki, I must know... is this your boyfriend?" Shad smirked, like Aaron did when he got perky.
"WHAT!?"   I screamed as he pointed to Levin.
I don't mean any word I'm about to say. Levin, I love you.
"No. This is just a man, I don't even care about him. He's a worthless peice of shit that I wouldn't date, much less love, under any circumstances."
"I see, then who is? I know you have one, I heard stupid Irene mention it." Shad pressed harder on Aph.
"Only if you let my friends go."
"No. I'll let frickin mess Irene go, but I can't let everyone you care about leave. That would be stupid." Shad looked at me, and smiled with a twisted grin.
"If.. you let my friends go... ALL of them, including Dayia and Laurence, I will... do anything."
"No!" Garroth moaned.
"Loki, no!" Dayia cried.
"Loki, what!?"  Aphmau locked eyes with me, and a tear streamed down her face.
"Okay, Loki. Say, I was to let your friends go. And you became a Shadow Knight. How does that sound?"
"As long as they go, perfect."
"LOKI, NO." Aphmau said firmly. I locked eyes with her once again, and I think we spoke telepathically.
No, I'm not losing you to him, Loki!

Aph, it's a trick. Speak to me as soon as you get out safe, just... if bad things start coming out of the portal, I'm going to ask you to close it. But otherwise...

Loki, Garroth would kill himself before he let you stay here.

Aph, I need you to take him with you. No matter what he says, or does, take him out. Tell Lio my plan, he'll understand. You take Levin, Lio takes Garroth, and Dayia takes Laurence. GO NOW!

LOKI!?

APHMAU, GO NOW!

I moved Levin's body to Aph, Garroths to Liochant, and Laurence to Dayia.
"NOW." I yelled, and they left, Aphmau acting like she wanted to stay, until I said something I  meant.
"I just want you to be safe, I don't care what happens to me, and you shouldn't either."
I stood next to Shad, and he smiled as Aphmau cried.
She whispered in Liochant's ear as they left the building.
"Now, to turn you to a Shadow Knight." Shad grabbed my arm, and I heard a faint yell in the distance.
"APHMAU, WE MUST GO BACK! WE . MUST. GO. BACK." I think it was Garroth.
He lead me into a room, where there was a dark cloaked man.
"Now, get me that medicine, Will." (I just watched stranger things, you can't blame me for the name. I don't mean that will.)
We're out! Cmon, Garroth is crying. I haven't seen him do that since the Irene dimension!

Hold on...

I kicked Will in the face, and drew my old knives from my inside legging, which was quite torn.
Always have more than one weapon, Loki.
Xander's voice rang in my ears as I slammed Shad into Will, and chucked both knives at the two of them.
I hit Will in the throat, but Shad tore out of the telekinesis.
"You're not as strong as you think, Loki Ramirez!"
"Uh oh." I bolted out the door, super speed style.
"GUARDS!" Shad bellowed, and I was halfway down the stairs.
Loki, there's a Shadow Soul that  Dayias  fighting. Hurry!

I'm coming.

I zoomed past a few Shadow Knights, and they tried to get on my trail, but by a few seconds, they were gone.
I could see the faint glow of the portal from afar. I couldn't zoom that much , but I still was pretty fast. As I drew nearer, I saw Dayia and the Shadow Soul. Realizing I left my knives back at that room, I couldn't help Dayia.
Well, I did.
I threw the Shadow Soul back with the telekinesis and grabbed Dayias hand, taking her pickaxe and smashing the obsidian while halfway through the portal.
I came out to a strange scene.
Garroth was screaming because the Nether portal had closed. I don't think he saw me come out. Aphmau was over Levin, who still didn't show any sign of life. Laurence was starting to wake up, but telling Garroth to shut up. Lio was also over Levin, giving him mouth to mouth. Dayia wiped the blood off her arms, and was yanking on my hair a bit.
"Why is your hair covered in blood?" She asked.
"Your brother."
"I'm sorry."
"Not your fault."
"Garroth. Garroth!" Aphmau shouted, trying to get his attetion.
"Garroth, ARE YOU OKAY?" I hollered.
"Loki!" He hugged me wicked tight, and I could tell he had been crying. A lot.
"Relax." I said, wiping out my own cuts.
"I-you you tricked Shad and I thought that Aphmau had left you in there."
"He tried to run back." Aphmau shouted.
"You're too crazy." I said.
"Yeah, but I wasn't about to just leave you in there."
"That was...intense." I said, holding my body.
"What did he do to you?" Garroth asked, and checked out my face, which had a deep strike, and a few scratches.
"N-nothing." I didn't want him to get mad at Shad.
"Loki, what did Shad do?" He tried to wipe out the blood that was coming out of my face, but it started bleeding more.
"He just cut my leg, my cheek, my arms, and shoved my ankle through his sword."
"Are you okay?" He asked, and checked my ankle.
"Fine."
"Then, what's with your hair?" He asked, it now being blood red and covered in dried blood.
"G-gene yanked me out of the cell by my hair."
"Did he... whip you?" He said, stopping at a dent in my arm.
"A-a little bit."
He muttered something I couldn't hear, and then handed me something. Bandages.
"I trust you can wrap yourself up." He said, and walked away.
"Dayia, get over here!"
We spent the rest of the night like that, fixing up, worrying over Levin, catching up, and laughing, ignoring the horrid things happening in the Nether.
