Malika stood on the rooftop Jennifer and eruda behind her as they stared down a man who had his two hands on the shoulders of Michael and Anna.
The man wore a red suit and emanated pure bloodlust he had dark skin, and long dread locks beside him was a floating cane, and obstructing his face was a haze of thick darkness.
"Hello malika, It's been ten years since we met and ten years since I fought you and my nephew no grand nephew."said the man as malika pulled out a long sword with red and carvings all over it.
Michael and Anna were frozen in fear as the man's grip tightened around their shoulders, causing them to flinch.
"Why so hostile? I mean, it's not your parents that I tossed into the endless abyss of the netherworld."said the man.
Eruda slammed his hand on the ground as the ground below them caved input the man stood floating in the air as his grip was still firmly on the children.
A shadowy arm came from the man's back rapping around the children and placing them behind
him.
He then grabbed his cane, clashing with malika's blade as they sent ripples through the air.Hundreds of small stone bullets flew towards the man.
A black dark glove with long nails appeared on the man's left hand.But a spear golden light spear flew from malika's abdomin towards the man's neck.
The blade twisted away from the man's neck, but a mirror dropped down in front of him as a stone bullet flew from the mirror peircing hus chest.
The man felt his skin hardening, but before he could do anything, dozens of stone bullets were about to come in contact with his body.
Malika then swung her sword horizontally towards his neck, but the shadow hands behind the man placed the two children in the way of the bullets, causing malika to create a barrier of light around them.
The man smiled as a tiny string came from malika's wrist.Her right hand then flew off, spilling blood into the air as she caught her blade with her left hand.
Regenerating her hand as she stabbed her blade towards the man's chest.But he blocked her blade, sending a kick towards her face, cracking the barrier and launching her to the ground.
But malika vanished as a broken glass shard fell behind the man. malika severed the dark hands as a giant spike flew from the man's leg tiwards their skulls.
But in their place appeared two slabs of rock thar were instantly destroyed the particles from the rock lauched onto the suit as his body started to harden.
Malika then sent a horizontal strike towards his neck.But the stone that encased hus body cracked as hundreds of strings flew from his body.
Malika flew back in a flash of light, but a wave of blood flew from her neck, but the wound instantly
healed.
Small strings flew at eruda and Jennifer, but hundreds of metallic particles surrounded them as malika grew a serious look on her face.
"What's wrong child are you scared to kill me this time? You did it thousands of times the last time we met, so what's so different now."said the man.
He then flew at malika, who swung her sword at his neck, but he didn't move, causing her to move her blade from his neck as a giant black cacoon fell diwn from the sky towards malika.
Malika sunk into a portal, appearing beside eruda and Jennifer."We have to run."said Malika."Why?"asked eruda.
"His ability allows him to transfer the damage he takes to any living person that has been injected with one of his strings.
So no matter what happens to him, it will instantly be transferred to a person marked with his strings."said Malika.
"Not so fast you may think you can run but if you so much as leave this area I will continously stab myself in the neck causing every innocent person that I ever talked to or even gazed at to die."said the man.
Just then, a purple wave of light flew past them as a blade was lunged straight into the man's chest, causing him to freeze as he looked down and saw a black long sword sticking out from chest
Hundreds of purple text then covered his body holi, then transformed into her human form. As a giant blade of light flew down from the sky.
Causing explosion destroying the area as holi had a rage filled look on her face.The man stood unfazed as holi appeared behind him.
But a string lached onto holi's hand, but it was instantly destroyed as holi clenched her fist, causing the man to start to shake as drops of blood flew from the cloud that covered his face.
"i will kill you a million times if I have to."said holi, but malika grabbed her."You're not helping when he's killed by a person who is viewed as an enemy he gains the powers and physical abilities of those who die in his place."said Malika
"Their are several billon people the world won't notice a couple thousand besides the ends justify the means."said holi.
"That's not the point we can't just kill so many people to kill one man."said Malika."How people change."said holi as hundreds of blades appeared behind her.
She picked one as she spilled her blood on it.The man laughed as he looked at holi."Oh, it's you a little toy abandoned by it's master well happens to the best of us, but I guess not this time."said the man as holi's eyes turned red.
The man vanished as the ground beneath him crumbled."Darkness dead black flash time's ten."
Holi vanished a trail of darkness behind her as malika covered in light and looked behind her towards erida and Jennifer.
"Start trying to evacuate the city. I'll minimize the damage."said Malika."Can't we stop her?"asked Jennifer.
"That's what I plan to do towards the city. I'll dash the fight over towards the others. If I'm lucky, they'll be able to forcefully put her into the but it is impossible seal holi."said Malika.
The two nodded in agreement, disappearing as malika rushed off in a flash of light appearing above the city where the people who were running in panic.
Stopped to look up at the three of them."Little girl, he abandoned you it's obvious you were just a tool to him. Why not join me? Why not let me give you a place in this world."Said the man.
"How dare you sit here and offer me a place when you're the reason I lost my place!"shouted holi as purple flames coveted her body.
She dashed at the man, but a giant sky scraper was uplifted from the ground by an invisible force and tossed towards holi.
The people inside the people were tossed around like rag dolls, some unlucky individuals even falling through the windows.
A giant net made if light formed on the ground, saving the people."Light located."said Malika as dozens of light particles flew into the sky scraper, teleporting people out.
But seeing this, the man swung his cane as a giant wave of gravity spread across the city, crushing several buildings and causing hundreds of people to be crushed.
Blood painted the ground as malika gritted her teeth.The man disappeared in a flash, sending a kick towards holi's face.
Holi grabbed the man's foot as a look of suprise and confusion filled his face."Gravity times a hundred enhanced kick, you'll need more than that.
You hear those screams, you hear all that destruction all that dispersed the bottomless human fear I relish that."
Purple flames then engulfed the man as several buildings flew at holi.But the air around holi grew so hot that every building that came in a twi hundre Meyer radius ws instantly vaporized
He was killing hundreds of people.Their screams, echoing through holi's ears as she smiled.The man's strings dropped down to the city, attempting to Lach on to people.
But holi raised her hand as a wave of scorching flames erased every thread.Malika stood in place, clenching her sword as a scene flashed before her eyes.
The scene of a burning city around her were countless dead bodies and an injured angelo laying down at her feat.
Angelo had a gaping hole in his chest as the codex layed shut beside him."All you do is cause problems. All you do is harm people. Why don't you just die!"
Malika flashed back to the present, landing on the ground and protecting a little girl from a flying piece of a building.
Malika sliced the debree in half as she seemingly teleported in a flash of light to the outskirts of the city where other confused, rescued civilians were.
Malika was about to leave, but the little girl tugged on to her leg."Ms, are you a superhero? Can you save my mommy, please?"
Malika looked down at the girl as a deep sadness filled her heart."Im not a superhero. I'm just doing what I can."said Malika.
"What's the difference?"asked the little girl."I don't know, maybe you can find out for me."said Malika just them. A man walked up to malika.
"What is wrong? What is going mam is my daughter, okay? I haven't seen her. Is she safe?"Hey, is my house okay? You better not let any harm come yo my property!"shouted another man.
As malika zoned out the ramblings of people asking questions about their personal items, their loved one's all flew over her head.
"Are you even listening to us? Are we gonna be okay? Just answer is that."said another person as malika zoned back in
"I don't know it's that simple. I don't know. I'm not a hero. I don't make optimistic promises!"shouted malika as she pulled out her sword.
A giant explosion of flames then took place on the east side of the city where holi was as malika turned towards the people.
Malika vanished in a flash of light as a teary-eyed little girl was left behind her.Malika grabbed holi, stopping her from plunging her sword into the man.
"You will stop this now!"said Malika sternly as she looked at her."Do you know what he's done? What he ripped from me DO YOU!shouted holi.
"You're not the only one who lost that day?"said Malika. "And who else lost you? What did you have to lose? You came here with nothing!"shouted holi.
Malika froze for a moment, but in that instant, a man with blond hair and red eyes appeared behind malika and stabbed his blade towards holi.
Malika moved holi out the way as the blade pierced her in her abdomin.A black poisonus substance then flew into malika's body as black veins started to bulge all over her skin
The man then lifted up his hand as a distortion of gravity surrounded malika, slowing her down, causing her counterattack to be blocked.
Hundreds of strings then flew at her, but holi immediately vanished into light, turning into a sword and peircing malika in the stomach.
Malika's eyes briefly turned purple as holi began to fuse with her.Mslika grabbed the person who stabbed her by the face about to crush his head, but he turned into a pile of slime.
Flowing through the air and reshaping next to angelo's grand uncle."From what I heard that poison us deadly to your species, it was hard to find,
but it turns out certain ingredients grow in the forbidden continents."Said the man.
"Bordra, would you like to help me finish this off."said the man."Yes master Marion, why wouldn't I want to join after the humiliation i was put through five years ago.
I'd wish to kill that boy, but this will do."said bodra.Malika's arm flew off as her body started to shift, but a pulse of blue light flew through her body, causing her body to be forcefully stabilized by holi
"Malika, you have to stop holding back. If you don't, all these people will die anyway because your ability is also a defense mechanism."said holi.
An enhanced by gravity string flew at malika, which she was about to cut in half, but bordra raised his hand. "decrease time's two hundred."
Malika slowed down as the string flew into into her chest, peircing her heart.Marion then appeared in front of malika as he slammed his fist into her stomach, causing her to fly towards the ground.
Malika crashed onto the destroyed road buildings and rubble laying around her.Holi kept sending energy through malika's body, trying to destroy the poison.
But to no avail, she had no positive energy inside her. All she had was a store of negative energy, and channeling that into malika would lead her to become insane.
"Malika, you have to at least unseal your ability blocking it has caused you to be twenty times weaker in every category."said holi
Several giant bolders then flew towards malika, who was instantly engulfed by darkness."Times hundred."said holi as malika vanished, slicing the borders in half.
Malika appeared in front of Marion as she stabbed her blade through his chest, but the wound instantly healed as bodra gazed at malika.
"Darkness devouring void."Hundreds of giant dark tendrils flew at marion, but an arrow appeared on her back."Decrease times a hundred."Malika's darkness slowly down sugnificaly as Marion slapped the tendrils away with his hand.
Leaving nothing but tiny dark particles, bordra, then sent a kick towards the weakened malika, but malika dunk into a black portal.
Malika appeared in some rubble as she looked up at her hand."My strength,speed, and reaction time have been decreased by a hundred times."said Malika.
"This isn't good. His ability counters the speed multiplier for my light and darkness in your weakened state. You are inly three times faster than light, meaning the hundre times multiplier is only 300 times faster.
So if we decrease that by a hundred, you're still at your base speed when you use voudaju."said holi.Your right. I need to unlock my ability, but that won't save anyone.
All it will do is make our situation worse. I can only control it for ten minutes a second after that, and it will start ripping the world around me apart."said Malika.
"Malika, I won't be stable for long in your current state. How will you stop them and me? Your ability is the only thing that could counter angel if he goes insane."said holi.
"Yeah, and when both of us go insane who stops us then, and it's not like you can stop us, you'll go insane too."said Malika.
"What is wrong with you? Aren't you the one who encouraged angelo to not be afraid of his ability? What changed?"asked holi.
"Life changed. None of our lives have been the same since ten years ago, I'm not a child anymore. I understand the consequences of my actions."
Malika stopped speaking as she got up."This is no time to wallow in sarrow, so do you have any ideas?"asked Malika.
"You two are so similar that it's annoying anyway. I checked the area. Almost everyone in a mile radius has left, so you can go all out."said holi.
"Alright, so how are you feeling?"asked Malika."Yes, angelo seems to be stable, so it's likely the calm before the storm."replied holi.
Malika looked at the red arrow on her back as she smiled.Malika cut her wrist as her blood turned gold and started to rap around her skin
The arrow started to peel off as malika looked towards Marion and bodra."Hey, you think we can get those two over here?"asked malika.
Holi stayed silent as malika sighed."Fine be like that bit, never criticize me about my feelings again."said
Malika.
"Hey, about earlier, I'm sorry."Said holi."Tell me that after we win."Said Malika."Alright then, let's go."Malika's body pass engulfed in golden flames as she leaped into the air.
