Wonderland Magical Academy: Escaping Darkness

Chapter 19: Fire vs. Darkness

CLAUSS' POV

Pinaglaho ko ang fire phoenix at seven-head fire dragon ko.

"You leave me no choice but to fight you," seryosong wika ko kay Jeanne. 

Ngumiti nang nakakaloko si Jeanne. "That's what I wanted. I also want to test her ability," she said pointing to Elysha. Naikuyom ko ang kamao. How could she do this? Wala ba talaga siyang puso?

Ikinumpas ni Jeanne ang kamay niya. Nagulat ako nang magsimulang kumilos si Elysha. Jeane was controlling her. She started to throw blasts of dark energies at me. I released my fire phoenix and dodged it. Napangiwi ako dahil sa sobrang lakas ng pag-atake niya. Unti-unti akong napapaurong. I gathered all my energy to blew her attack away. Nagtagumpay naman akong maibato sa ibang direksiyon ang dark enery blasts niya. 

Nagulat ako sa sunod na ginawa ni Jeanne. Iniba niya ang direksiyon ng dark energy blasts at pinatama sa black box kung nasaan si Xyra. I heard Xyra scream in pain. I can't control my anger now. I was about to attack Jeanne with my fire phoenix but Elysha stopped me by throwing dark blades on my direction. Nag-aalala ako sa nangyayari kay Xyra sa loob.

Elysha was running towards me, now. Mukhang nagmamadali siyang tapusin ako. I released my double fire dragon. Inatake ko si Elysha kahit ayaw kong gawin. I don't want to hurt her but I think this is better. Tiyak na mas masaya siyang mamamatay sa kamay ko kaysa makontrol siya ng kadiliman.

She dodged it by a shield of darkness. I gathered all my strength to destroy it and I did succeed. Tumagos sa shield niya ang double fire dragon. Tumilapon siya palayo at bumagsak sa lupa. Bahagyang nasunog ang kanang braso niya.

Wala siyang naging reaksiyon. Tila hindi siya nasasaktan. Tumayo siya. She looks like a puppet. I was pissed. Si Jeanne ang may kasalanan ng lahat ng ito.

Elysha was now surrounded by darkness. She directed strong blasts of darkness that splitted into multiple fragments on my direction. I released my seven-head fire dragon but she suddenly stopped attacking me. Jeanne stopped her.

"I got a better idea," she said. I looked at her angrily. Ano na naman ang binabalak niya?

"Aira! Clark!" Jeanne called.

Mula sa likod ng mga puno, lumabas ang dalawang tinawag niya. What was she planning? Siguro alam niyang hindi siya mananalo sa 'kin nang ganoon kadali kaya tinawag na niya ang mga kasama niya?

"Elysha, take care of Xyra. Don't you think it will be exciting if she will be one of us? Aira and Clark, alam na ninyo ang dapat gawin," nakakalokong sabi niya.

Napaawang ang labi ko sa sinabi niya. "Jeanne!" malakas na sigaw ko sa kanya. I wanted to stop her badly. I can't let them hurt Xyra. I feel so helpless and I don't want this!

Kinabahan ako nang maglakad patungo sa black box sina Elysha at ang dalawa pang kasamahan ni Jeanne. I surrounded them with fire but I was stunned when Jeanne negate my power. Naglahong parang bula ang apoy ko. Nilamon ito ng kadiliman.

Natauhan ako nang makalapit sina Elysha sa black box. I used my seven-head fire dragon to attack them but Jeanne intervened. She stopped and dodge my attack by a beast made of darkness.

"I'll be your opponent," nakangising sabi ni Jeanne. I was so frustrated. Tuluyan nang nakapasok sina Elysha sa loob ng black box. I can't even tell where and how they entered. Matalim na tingin ang ipinukol ko kay Jeanne. Hindi ko siya mapapatawad kapag may nangyaring masama kay Xyra. I'll be the one who will dig for her own grave. Uunahan ko na siya!

"Do I need to lend you a hand?" aliw na aliw na tanong ni Selene na kanina pang nanonood sa 'min. I gritted my teeth. Minamaliit ba nila ako?

"No need. I can handle him on my own," umiling na sagot ni Jeanne.
