Chapter Seventy - Christopher, You Idiot

KARA

I threw fire left and right at her, but she blocked them before slamming her fist on the ground, sending a big wave of dirt. I leaned back, stopping it from moving before sending it back to her.

She toppled over but hopped back up on her feet. She summoned a fire horse, while I conjured up a water one.

Jumping on its back, I placed a hand beside its ear to calm it down. Jessica started charging towards me and I rushed towards her too. Again, the animal seemed to read my mind as it bent down to slide just as Jessica's horse jumped over.

The water horse turned around and I sent a tsunami at her. The fire horse immediately extinguished and I made mine disappear. She was kneeling on the ground, choking on the water and I snapped my fingers to get the water out.

"Jess," I called out, stretching a hand out for her to take. She looked at it and I saw a flash of recognition in her eyes. She hesitated a little before taking it and I pulled her up to her feet.

"Thanks," she said and I nodded. She met my gaze and continued, "But you still haven't changed a bit."

"What-"

Before I could finish my sentence, her hand that was holding onto mine summoned up a silver knife and stabbed it through my palm. She let go and made the knife disappear.

There was a slit through my hand as I watch the flesh slowly sew itself together. The knife was silver too, making my healing slower.

I shook the blood away and looked at Jessica. I sighed, "There's no point, is it?"

"Nope," she said, popping the 'p'. I nodded and got in a ready stance. I raised my fist and looked at her, "Let's go then."

We charged at each other and right before we collided, I jumped just as she slid under me and threw a fire blade at her. It stabbed her thigh and I made it disappear.

I came back down and slammed her head to the ground multiple times. She tried to block but she was significantly weaker than before. It was as if her mind couldn't concentrate on dodging my attacks.

"Kara!"

I looked up to see Chris running towards me with the force field having a small opening. Jessica used the opportunity to kick me in the stomach and throw a knife at Chris. It landed right in his stomach and disappeared immediately.

"Chris!"

I forced him out of the field right before Jessica closed the force field. She got up and shook her head, "That wizard king's annoying..."

I looked at her, "Still no point in changing your mind?" She shook her head, "Nah."

"Okay."

I quickly glanced at Chris who's getting medical help before setting my focus back on the witch. I felt Snow from the back of my mind trying to break out of the cage Jessica put her in.

"K, just know that after I kill you, I'll take care of Connor, okay? Put your mind at ease," she said, her smile so wide it looked too fake. I summoned up water soldiers and horses, "No point in giving up at this point."

Her expression turned dark and she summoned a fire fleet, "So be it."

We pointed at each other and the two elements charged towards each other. We flew up into the air and started fighting above the warzone below.

How we did affected our own fleet. If she punched me once, one soldier of mine was gone. If I blocked her once, my group would add another.

It was just back and forth, throwing fists and fire at each other. We accidentally kicked with our magic at the same time, causing both of us to exit our physical body and into the astral dimension.

I almost fell through the face of the earth but pushed myself back up. Everything was dimmed like usual and I looked at Jessica. She tipped her head to the side, "Astral projection? This was one of the few things I didn't think you would have."

She gestured three with her fingers, "So energy manipulation, elemental control, and astral projection. No wonder you're strong."

"Less talking, Jess," I raised my fist in a fighting stance. She smirked and nodded before readying herself, "I like what you're thinking."

We charged at each other and I grabbed her shoulders before kneeing her in the stomach. She twisted herself out of my hold and punched my nose. I grabbed her fist and twisted it behind her back.

She pushed me off her and opened a gateway. Right before her whole body could exit the gateway, I grabbed her by the ankles and forced her back in, closing the gateway.

I threw her to the ground and she went through but grabbed onto the ground so she was able to push herself back up. She gave me an uppercut and I kicked her face when I flipped backward.

I forced her to her physical body and forced her back to the normal world. I went back right after and stood on my feet.

"Jess," she raised a finger, stopping me, "No point."

"Okay," I nodded and before I knew it, she threw a blade at me.
