Lightning

"Can't I catch a break-?" he thought to himself, breaking through different trees and stopping at a tree trunk. Suddenly, he coughed up blood and the blue aura dissipated. 


"Did something happen to Angel?.....Crap-crap! My body hurts like hell! This guy-he'll kill me too. All because of that friggin time-using asshole!" Storm tried to stand, his back to the trunk of a tree, the boy catching his breath.


"The girl said 'Scion' who is he-? The same guy Celeste always spoke about-? Tch-maybe I can reason with this guy-" Storm thought to himself, catching his breath. 


Blaze however was running as fast as he could, jumping and spinning his body sideways, his foot emitting flames. Storm noticed this and ducked, rolling forward. Blaze broke the tree trunk with ease, the base of what used to be a tree burning with red flames. Storm backed up, trying to think for a moment.  The pain catching up to him quickly.
