~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Karina fought, fought and fought. Her opponents seemed weak, but they did a very good job in proving her wrong.
As she fought she came to realize that the enemy had seem to have a change of plan since they were now trying to kill the remaining survivors.
She quickly created a barrier to protect them, but seeing how the fight was turning out she knew it wouldn't hold them back for long.
Therefore, entering the barrier herself, she began to accumulate energy.
With the amount of power she was building up, she hoped it would be enough to throw back her opponents and if luck was on her side, make them pass out.

As they prepared themselves to attack all together to break the barrier, the girl took the advantage to unleash the pent up energy she had accumulated, therefore obtaining the results she wanted.

A gust of cold wind and snow, broke through the barrier and made the attackers to fly backwards. Some hitting boulders, while some fell heavily and harshly to the ground.
But just when the girl felt like victory was in her hands, she came to realize something.

Where was the man in red?

Just as that thought crossed her mind, a wave of scorching flames came slamming into her left side. Karina shielded herself in time, but poorly. Thus, she could not do anything about the blast that sent her flying into a near by rock.
She let out a cry of pain as she fell heavily onto the floor. She was reaching her limits. Still, she got up.
She had to get up.
She wouldn't allow a sadist to kill her last team mates. And she would be damned if she was defeated by him.
The male starred at her, waiting to see her next move. And when he saw that she was almost at her full height, he charged almost immediately.

Karina left out a frustrated growl as she witnessed the male take a leap to charge more power into the flaming punch he was about to give her.

"Oh goody..". She thought.

Karina moved out of the way, and threw spikes of ice at her 'masked friend'.
Although the attack was futile, for all he did was create what seemed to be a spiral of fire that melted them instantly.
But little did the male know that that was just a distraction. Because now, he couldn't move.
Confused, the masked man looked down to see his feet were frozen to the ground.

"Sh*t..". He muttered under his breath; and the next thing he knew, he was flying across the feild.

The Cryokinetic girl had taken a big leap, with the help of her power and kicked the male with bought feet.
In doing so, to avoid colliding to the ground, she also used him as a wall to do an ariel in midair, landing softly on the ground.

In another wave of rage Karina, sent another gust of freezing wind in his direction, making him fly further away.

"Who are you?! What do you want?!" She screamed with frustration. She kept on screaming as she made her way towards the mysterious man, who was now on all fours.
When she had reached him, she kicked him in the stomach.
At least, that was what she tried to do. For the enemy had caught her foot. His other hand grabbing a hold of her leg, swinging her towards another boulder, which her back came into perfect contact with, making the remaining air to leave her lungs.
She didn't have time to recover, for a hand harshly grabbed her neck as she felt herself being lifted up.

Karina was now face to mask with her attacker. He seemed to enjoy the situation as he did nothing but stare straight into her eyes.
The female soon began to feel warm. Too warm. It was like her body was starting to go on fire. But she knew it was all his doing.
The male then used his free hand to run down her neck all the way to her right arm.
But, soon, he felt Karina fighting back his powers. Quickly looking back, he saw that her eyes had now changed color. Before he could come up with a solution, his body had become extremely cold, that his bones seemed to hurt. And excruciating pain he had never felt before, coursed through his body as he screamed in agony, and bent over, releasing his prisoner.
Karina aimed once more for his stomach and gave a well deserved, hard, punch. Kneeing him in the face, a sickening crack was heard from is mask as the male fell backwards.
The female then made a platform of ice, raising his body higher and higher, only for it to bend over like a huge tsunami and drown its prey under its heavy mass, crashing towards the ground.

Karina walked dangerously close to the point where his body was suppose to be.
But there was no one. All she saw when she had reached the mass of ice, was a huge hole, giving away the fact that the mask man had certainly melted his way through in time and made his escape.
She checked her surroundings quickly noticing that his crew had also disappeared.

"They must have taken the chance to run away while their boss fought with me..". She thought.

She checked the grounds profusely, making sure that they had left for good. She then checked on her team mates to see whether they were alright.

They were barely alive, but at least they were still breathing.

And with the remaining energy she had, she went to look for help.
