Aura of Creation and Destruction

Chapter 8

Love has the power to ignite, unite, and respite. Love conquers all, love shall conquer you.

The day before the departure, Faosha paid a visit to her father. They talked for a short time before Faosha walked back to her old room. Inside, her dolls and toys. A first surfboard now too tiny for her to ride anymore. A fantasy book her dad read about heroes, saving the world from the titanic threat of the past.

There was some movement there since last time. Faosha was curious. "Dad, who was here last?"

"Ah, well I think you already know. Sweetheart, this whole ordeal has been a hard time to a lot of people. There are so many who miss their loved ones right now. The world needs a little something more than what we can give alone."

Faosha turned around to her old man, knowing she couldn't help but pull the secret from his psyche. She resolved a moment ago to be more reserved with the information she had access to. A smirk, a nod, and a low sound of curiosity echoed from her natural vocal octive.

Now, the shao grunted the same tune to her current strife and struggle. She thought of that moment as the crushing weight encapsulated her to noting but a sphere. No matter how mush she tried to turn and struggle, she couldn't move. It was not her turn to act, but the turn of someone who stowed aboard. A queen who Faosha had heard rumors of, faced down a threat that she felt was a mere fairy tale.

Ophera stared down the situation. Before her was a dark wasteland floating in a space above the planet. Air jetted from below, holding up the constructs before the queen. A beast stood kicking at a metal stone golem of some kind. Ophera decided with a crack of her knuckle, it was time for some ignition by lightning. She turned her furred head to her friends stationed behind her. Each of them struggled to even move with what had happened at the hand of Faust.

She took a breath in before she barked forth a reply in her commanding voice. "Yes. Gaito. I am very much real."

Taking a look back, she found the party of a fighter, a specter, and a mentalist." We must act now before Faust's power consumes everyone!"

Ophera flared to life her aura. The hair upon Gaito's shoulders raised once again. A electric-pink glow rose up across the area, shooting out around the party. It settled into sphere shape, its rippling figure held out on its own. The fighter left the form of a sphere and began to float, instantly gripping his missing appendage. He was amazed at her power. The pink energy twitched and crackled with a kzzt. The energy worked at dissipating Faust's artificial gravity, and made him freeze up completely. By her aura's ever whelming power, she was able to create a force to invert the god's crippling gravity.

Maggi's body glistened pink with static charge, morphing out of its sphere while encapsulated in Ophera's area of influence. Squinting adorably at the others, then to Faust, she gave a 'hmm' before speaking again. "Ooh, I think she can hurt him now!"

From that energy, the demented specter croaked as he spoke. "Stupid destruction tribeeee. You can't beat a god. You won't even exist soon as I can move!" Like lightning through the air, Ophera moved through a bolt of plasma on her pink-laced terrain. Her body was shrouded in an electric barrier, held together by her aura's will. She was fast.

As Ghomat came to he quickly conjured a barrier in front of Faust to try and stop Ophera.

"Ophera!" He called her attention. "Don't punch him, he causes aura users and energy to stop existing. He can completely control you!"

"Like I'd let that happen!" She said.

She threw a punch straight through Ghomat's mental force. The royal fist moved through his blockde with speed so fast that it passed by unhindered. Her fury halted its advance a split second before it made contact with Faust's form, causing a thundering boom to resonate through the air. The impact bounced the queen's own field in outward shockwaves. Her sphere of incluence expanded, and her fist had not touch the god. Faust flew backwards and screamed in surprise. Ophera checked her impact paw for a brief second. She saw each digit was still in tact. A follow up, she threw both arms forward in a towards the beast, vanising, then reappearing with both fists flying with a flurry of punches.

"AUGH!" He screamed out, this time not as a bluff, but in pain.

A peppy reply came from the queen to Ghomat. "Hold up! I'll be fine, I'm hitting him with my super loud booms of thunder. Plus a little anti-prophecy lightning mixed in."

Faosha came to her senses as the rift expanded. Taking her tufts to the air, she propelled herself forward towards the now floating Wishmaker. She blurted out "Quickly, before he comes to! Maggi, grab the Wishmaker!"

Faust shook his head before calling forth a barrage of creation aura orbs in all directions. "You WISH!"

Ghomat was calm as he placed barriers in front of the spheres, steering them off course. Those which hit Ophera's field fizzled into nothing. She regally dodge the rest

Faust admired her handiwork. "You're something, you know that princess? Coming up with an atheist techno-trap like that."

Another bolt and Ophera hit the half-sized-heckler with a skybound uppercut. The movement followed up with a bolt from her fingertips like thread, carrying the beast back down with a yank, into an overhead hammer arm, splatting the deity into the suspended rock.

Gaito cheered on Ophera's classy act. "Aw yeah! Make him look like a chump!" He glowed orange in ecstatic approval.

Ophera bounced the creature around before she decided that it was time to conclude his powerless struggle.

The demon begged like a delinquent. "Nooooo! Pleeeeease, don't hurt meeeeee."

He closed his eyes as the cat stood over him, crackling, hair on end, pink and pomp. She stared at his pitiful display disapproving, like a failed royal subject. Faust eyed Faosha from afar as he acted out. As soon as she drew close enough to the Wishmaker's orb, Faust stuck his tongue out at royalty. Ophera punched once again. Ghomat was busy focusing on the arena, and Gaito had but one arm to stand on. Suddenly, the dark blob hurdled towards the mink's group. Maggi yelped, watched as Faust ended up splatting onto Faosha's back.

"Hahahahaha, made ya look!" He spat. The demon began sinking into her purple furred figure only a moment after.

"NO!" the brothers yelled out.

"Oh jeez..." Maggi jumped back, knowing quite well she should have seen that coming.

Faosha winced her body backwards. She began falling out of the sky. Ghomat held her up by psychic will for only a moment before the fighter refused his gift. Throwing herself at the earth harder than the air's push, Ghomat expended his energy to make a platform as large as the sphere they resided in. The ground conducted gravity through Ophera's electricity, and each of them touched down to the floor below.

All eyes were on Faosha.

Faosha sunk into the ground, breathing heavily, lurched over, panting as if she were fighting for her own life. Her body began to disobey her.
