The Immortals

Choose Your Side

   It's dark. This is a familiar feeling. When Toki locked me in that fucking prison. It was dark. I was alone. I felt lonely. Like now. I feel lonely.

"Lightning!" I heard a familiar voice. Wait, isn't that Hanabi? I'm not alone. I have Hanabi. She has always been by my side. I haven't given her much credit have I? I'm such an ass aren't I. My powers is feeling like it is draining. Where am I? I need to get the hell out of here.

   I had my ki surround me then I released in a sudden burst. The debris all around me flung in all directions. Blood trail down the side of my face, my hair dusty with the building's rubbish. I looked in front of me. A girl with light blue hair and dark blue eyes, someone who reeks of Erebus scum. Rather she's what Nazo is. A fake. An experiment.

"You killed my mother she yelled." I have no idea what she's talking about. I would know her if I killed her mother. I remember all my victims and who they leave behind. So why can't I remember her.

   My vision got foggy again as she yelled, a piercing yell. Blood streamed from my ears. I fell to my knees, I can't move and my powers are now fully restricted. Fuck. I get it. She is not an Erebus, she's just a siren-witch hybrid, in a preemptive strike I stand no chance, but she's a child I don't want to hurt or kill her. What the hell do I do...

   My head was forced to rise to look her in the eye as she approach me.

"Do you remember me?" She asked. She rose her hand.

"No." I said

   A piece of metal started forming out of nothing. That's dark energy. The metal she created. Chromium. It turned into a spear the size of a light pole. She's wrapping another metal around it, I can't tell what that metal is but Immortal or not if that thing pierces through my heart I am as good as dead. She flung her hand and I prepared to die, at least I can rejoin Arisa. I closed my eyes

When I opened my eyes I was on the roof of Elders place. That's impossible though she prevented me from using any kind of powers so that couldn't have been me. It's almost like I switched places with someone.

   I gasp when I realized who else can do a transportation trick like that. Hanabi. I looked down and there she was with that metal spear pierced through her.

"NO!" I Roared. My darkness cloak appeared on me as I wrapped in between them. I kicked the little girl into the nearest building. I looked at Hanabi.

"I snuck something in your pocket. I read into your kind of vampirism, so drink it to have a weapon against Kalona. I knew this day was going to come so I prepared in advance, I expected to die because of Keyshia or Kalona though." She said and laugh weakly.

"Hanabi... Why."

"Why? Heh. Now, we're even." she smiled. "You've already died, so stop and don't play God to try to save me, I know my death is going to impact you but when the time comes, save yourself. " She said weakly.

"I can't handle another loss, Hanabi." I tired to pull the metal off of her but couldn't. "Fuck." I yelled.

"Honestly. This sucks, I die as soon as I finally got y-" her voice trailed off as a tear rolled down her face.

   The girl got up and dusted herself.

"Now you know how I felt." She said but then she looked at me weirdly. I don't say anything because now all I see is nothing but a kill me face on her. Who gives a shit if she's a child. I speed to her and grabbed her neck and began to squeeze. She coughed up blood.

"Now enjoy death." I said.

"Do it, you're doing me a favor." She said.

"Lightning she's just a child." I heard but I want this girl dead so it didn't register. My free hand engulfed in a crimson lightning. She will die a slow and painful death.
 
   I went to strike but someone pulled me back. I turned to grab the person who pulled me off by the neck. Keyshia. I let her go and staggered back, my eyes widen. I looked back towards Hanabi and teleported to her. There's no life in her. Is this the curse I'm forced to live, as soon as I'm even remotely happy it gets ripped from my hands.

"Oh my God!." Keyshia said with her hand over her mouth. An oh my God that truly pissed me off and help me make up my mind.

[Keyshia]

   When Lightning looked at me after I screamed oh my God. I saw it. Any hopes of him being on the side of good was gone. He looked at me and then at Runi who must have been the one who took at Hanabi and the slither of light that was present when Tokine died, His mother was still alive but as the protagonist of his story, when Kimmy died, after I betrayed his heart and even after Arisawa died... That light was snuffed out in an instant. Lightning was no longer about to fight for the greater good.

   It's Understandable though He just lost his best friend and the person who killed her is being protected by the former love of his life. I bet he feels alone.

   Lightning turned back to Hanabi and tried to take the metal out from Hanabi's heart but it wouldn't budge and he couldn't. His dark cloak appeared and he tried again but he  still didn't get lucky. He punched the metal spear. He looked at me as if he wanted me to comfort him. I couldn't move. I know that's when I knew I fucked up. He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"I'm in." He said. He squeezed his hands and his phone shattered. He looked at me again this time with watery eyes. "Take her and go." He said as a tear rolled down his cheek. He flew into the air.

   Runi looked up and covered her mouth and began to cry. I picked her up and used my super speed to leave the city. I didn't turn back, I didn't look back. but I knew Main City was no more. The heat behind me and the shock wave that's passing us gives that away. I also know the next time me and Lightning meet for the second time in history. We will not be on the same team.

"He wasn't the one." Runi said in between breaths. Oh Shit.

[Lightning]

   I watched as the city burned and turned to Ashes. I descended to the ground. There was fire all around me as the entire city burned. The sun location meant it is morning. I looked around and there was building destroyed all around me. A shadow hovered over me blocking most of the sun. A man with black wings blocks it. He begins to descend. He lands in front of me. It's Kalona.

"What changed your heart." He asked me.

"Hanabi's death." I said.

"I'm sorry." Kalona said

"Lend me some of your lackies. I'm going to rebuild this city in my image." I said. In reality it's just a means to keep my self distracted. This is a cruel world we live in. The world is cruel indeed. I thought looking at Main City burn.
