Chapter 29: Ice & Lightning

Chapter 29: Ice & Lightning

Scott grabs his sword staring at Jake "I finally get to kill you! And this time I won't let you transform!"

Evie looks at Jake "Transform? What does he mean?"

Jake replies to Evie but doesn't lose eye contact with Scott "It's a long story…but I don't even think I could do it here, but I do have something else up my sleeve."

Pravarasena gets in front of Scott "Hold Scott, I want to see what Jake can do myself…" he grabs his necklace, ripping it off of his neck.

Scott's eyes seem to bloodshot red from anger. "Y-you! You will not interrupt my rematch with Jake!" He goes to swing his sword but it clashes with Pravarasena's lightning blade that ignited from his hand.

"I said hold…" Pravarasena says as he seems to struggle a bit against Scott.

"Are you guys real-" Jake says but is stopped by Evie.

"Let them bicker, it'll be easier for us." She whispers to him

"Right! I guess I can do what I need to do then! Oh! Also Scott is really a Defense Type, and his god gave him some extra powers I think." He sits down and starts to meditate, his aura emitted from him as the markings on his arm appear.

"Are..are you meditating right now?!" Evie says surprised.

Scott shoves Pravarasena out of the way sending him flying across the arena. He stares at Jake "JAKE FACE ME!!"

Evie sighs "Charging in without a plan? You remind me of Jake!" She puts a barrier around Jake as she runs towards Scott.

Placing one on herself she thinks to herself "Alright Jake said that he also a defense type but he has some powers from his god or whatever…let's test how strong he is."

Scott swings his blade at her as she jumps over him kicking him in the head but he doesn't budge. "Ow! You're like a wall!" She says holding her foot. The barrier around her foot begins to freeze.

Scott turns towards her "Was that a pebble?!" He laughs "Like I was saying earlier missy! Aren't you a bit too small to be the leader?!" He continues to laugh.

BOOM is heard from Evie as she shoots Scott in the stomach with a sawed off shotgun! "Bitch Please…"

Scott smiles with blood coming from his mouth. He holds his stomach "Enchanted Guns? Heheh…HaHAHA!!" He dashes towards Evie with incredible speed punting her across the sky. She makes multiple barriers around herself to protect herself from the impact.

She looks up to see Scott with his sword ready to slam it on her. She does a sweeping kick on his legs, and as her barrier connects with his leg they leave her body and wrap around him, constricting him.

She jumps back and begins to make barriers under herself to let her run above the arena. She looks down and sees her barrier getting frozen by Scott.

Scott burst out of the barrier "Playing these silly games woman? Come fight me like a man!" He says with a laugh

Evie scoffs at him holstering her shotgun as she pulls out the rifle. "Fight this…" she starts shooting at Scott but he blocks the bullets with an ice wall.

Ice forms under his foot as he uses it to slide up to Evie blocking all of her firepower. "Damnit! The bullets won't penetrate the ice.."

Scott laughs making it snow underneath them. The floor starts to freeze over into ice.

Evie shakes from the temperature drop "What the hell?"

Scott goes to slice at her with his sword but she jumps off the barrier she was standing on shooting at him, hitting him in the arm.

Scott growls a bit "You annoying!!!" He dives towards her.

Evie puts her barrier all around her as Scott collides, sending them into the ground. The barrier begins to quickly freeze over as she looks at Jake "Boy if you don't hurry up!"

Scott stabs into the ground making it crack open "I want to do this with my bare hands…" he begins to slam his fist on Evie making each layer of the barrier freeze and break.

Evie looks at him and smirks "You really are a brute!" She puts her legs up kicking him in the chest making her barriers send him flying across the arena. She grabs the sword and looks up to see Pravarasena charging a massive bolt of lightning. He aims at Scott who breaks through the now frozen barrier.

Scott notices and looks up at Pravarasena "what the hell are you do-" the lightning bolt shoots straight through Scotts chest pinning him to the wall surging him with lightning. "ARAGHHHH!"

Pravarasena lands next to him "A loose cannon, a primal beast, you don't listen to those higher than you. You need to be punished…sit there and reflect"

Evie gives them a confused look "I-what?"

Pravarasena looks at Evie "My apologies for Scott, he doesn't act appropriately whatsoever. Now please give me his sword." He says holding his hand out to her.

"No." She says as she struggles to pick it, she lifts it up and her veins start to appear "Take-"

She sees a bolt of lightning heading towards her, but in a flash Jake appears grabbing it and moving out of the way of her "woah!!" He says making a surprised face.

She swings the sword and Pravarasena barely steps out of the way as it misses and slices that half of the building splitting it and the arena.

Claire facepalms "Girly..you put too much power into that, now that's going out of my paycheck…"

Jaden and Xander mouths are just wide open in shock "Imagine if that hit Evie?!" Jaden says out loud.

Scott also got split in half as he plops to the ground.

"Ohhhh Hey! Evie at least you won right?" Jake says with a nervous chuckle.

Evie heaves the sword over her shoulder "I never liked him anyways." She says with a shrug.

Pravarasena "His punishment wasn't done yet…" he locks eyes with Evie "Then you will have to do…" the area around him wraps inward and outward again.

Evie suddenly starts to erupt with lighting screaming. Jake turned towards Pravarasena "You! What did you do?!" Jake's eyes glow, his markings appear , and his aura erupts out of him charges at him attacking.

Pravarasena dodges with ease! Completely evading Jake as the area around Pravarasena warps inward and outward again.

As Jake goes to slug him, he feels these sharp pains surge through his body as lighting courses out of each point. Sending him flying back dragging his feet across the ground near Evie

The lightning around Evie vanishes as she drops to the ground landing on her knees… "He's tricky, is he using some sort of time move?"

Jake nods "Yeah..the space around him is warping when he does it too…"

She gets a quick flashback to when Jake was fighting Xander. "Jake! That move that you…well not you but your sister used! Use it again and it could cancel it out! I'll handle him here and you can fight him wherever he goes."

Jake looks at her "Uh…I'll try but I don't know what that'll do on my body….but first I want to see just how far he will go through time."

Jake aura erupts around him once more causing the ground to shake.

Pravarasena waits patiently "What is he planning?"

Jake smirks at Pravarasena "This is something I haven't shown anyone but Dasean…" as his aura expands even more, looking like a vast galaxy, he breathes in. Inhaling his aura like it's air. He closes his eyes as his hair changes to more of an astral tint.

"Jake..what are you doing?" Evie says standing next to him.

Jake hears Evie's voice as she fades away. He opens his eyes back on the field with Dasean.

"So you obtained this through your mediation?" Dasean says with a puff of his cigar.

Jake nods "Yeah..I've been image training to really understand what I can do without alerting anyone in the real world…"

Dasean nods, cracking his knuckles "then show me what you got."

Jake breathes in his own aura "With this i take in my own energy and place it within my own body, and everything down to my own atom creates its own power source…" he breaths out as his breath has taken the same color and texture as his aura "but I don't know the side effects yet…"

He comes back to reality opening his eyes as he glares at Pravarasena "Ready?"

Pravarasena gets into a stance nodding at Jake.

Jake looks at Evie "Let's do your plan boss." With that he runs towards Pravarasena opening his hand as a ball of energy pulls Pravarasena towards him as Jake drops kicks into him, Pravarasena drops on his as Jake opens his other hand as the energy shoots him away making him crash near Scott's body.

Pravarasena gets up after throwing up blood "Agh…very well…" looks at them both as the energy around him begins to warp inward then outward.

Evie places a barrier around herself, and Jake in a flash gets to Evie grabbing her barrier and tossing her at Pravarasena.

Jake gets bombarded by lightning that appears out of nowhere but stands his ground "Mmmrah!"

Pravarasena dodges and kicks Evie into the air, shattering her barrier "Your barriers are plentiful but rather weak against those stronger than you."

Evie lands on the ground "Hmm!"

"Alright just like Evie said…use the powers my sister did…I remember she said we were connected." Jake says as he focuses on trying to connect with his sister.

Pravarasena aims his bolt of lightning like a bow charging it at Jake.

Evie pulls out her rifle as she aims at Pravarasena taking some shots at him, Pravarasena dodges them and aims the bolt at Evie firing.

She puts multiple barriers up to slow down the lightning enough for her to dodge it barely.

Jake continues to concentrate "Come on…connect with her…I need to c-"

He sees that he's in an underground cavern lit by velvet candles. "What…where am I ?"

"Welcome to my home brother! I'm so glad you're here to join me…not in the flesh but in spirit!" He hears Maribel's voice behind him as he turns around and sees her Sitting in a throne.

"I need-" Jake says but gets quickly interrupted

"You need the technique I used on your poor friend Xander? Didn't he try to kill you? Ohhh is this payback?! You want to give him a good scare?!" She says with excitement in her voice. Leaning in closer.

"What?..no nothing of the sort I need to beat this guy in this tag team match that I'm in!" Jake says back to her

She sits back crossing her legs "Boring…but very well..I'll allow it just this once for my sweet little brother.

Jake stares at her in silence, Maribel smiles as she suddenly appears behind him, placing her hand on his back as a bright flash of light consumes the area.

Evie runs at Pravarasena aiming her gun, he charges at her as well as the area around him begins to warp inward.

Pravarasena looks at himself from the past stuck in that moment in time.

He rears his arm back to throw the bolt of lightning directly into Evie. "You're finished!" He says as he goes to throw the bolt of lightning.

He strains his arm but it doesn't budge "What?" He says looking at his arm seeing a hand with black tribal markings going along the arm.

Jake Flash's throws across the arena and puts both of his hands together making a ball of energy.

Evie slides and stops looking around "What?!" She looks and sees Pravarasena getting out the rubble, with Jake in front of him charging a blast.

The blast seems to surge with aura as it grows bigger and bigger.

Meanwhile, in the infirmary Leslie heartbeat monitors flat lines suddenly as alarms go off. Bastet looks up at him from across the room "N-Nurse!"

The nurse rushes in checking on Leslie seeing his veins bulging out as he seems unresponsive.

They open his mouth as a cloud of purple smog leaves it. The nurses try to run out of the room but sees a long, black arm slam it.

She turns and sees two purple glowing eyes "Ah…yes.. I've returned."

The nurses scream in terror as a red alarm goes off.
