Chapter 94-Poseidon vs Prometheus

"What…?"

"What…?"

"The…God of Water…?" I softly ask myself.

But I'm snapped out of my dazed state when I hear a voice behind me shout: "NOAH!"

My eyes widen as I slowly turn around, watching as a frantic Khione rushes over to me, with the rest of Team Noah in tow. My friends are all bruised, bloodied, and covered in burn scars, just as I am.

"You…guys…"

"TCH," Prometheus sneers as my friends rush to my side, "Looks like I need to do some pest control."

"You…what happened to you guys?!" I cry, as my friends circle around me, "Are you guys alright?!"

"After I defeated Sol, I followed in the direction I set you off," Old-Man F explains, "Along the way, I ran into the others. After we were first split up, everyone was captured by the Children of Fire, in one way or another."

My eyes widen.

"You…all won…?" I ask.

Khione and Ana nod, while Gaia rolls his eyes and Mary looks away in shame.

"Noah…!" Old-Man F gasps, "Your eye!"

"We'll talk later," I sigh.

"My Children…lost…?" Prometheus asks, clearly astonished, "Maybe the Children of Fire need some new members in their ranks…"

I turn around to face Prometheus again.

I take a deep breath in…then out.

And then…I slap my cheeks on either side of my face, and furiously rub them.

"Just ignore Prometheus' words…" I whisper to myself, "All my friends are here. All we have to do now…is focus on defeating the enemy in front of us…"

"LET'S GO, GUYS!" I shout as I enter my Charge Stance.

"RIGHT!" Everyone replies as they do the same.

"WATER CHARGE, LEVEL THREE: RAPIDS CLAW!"

"ICE CHARGE, LEVEL THREE: SOLID LANCE!"

"SAND CHARGE, LEVEL ONE: SAND SPEAR!"

"WIND CHARGE, LEVEL ONE: CRESCENT-MOON SLASH!"

"EARTH CHARGE, LEVEL TWO: STONE FISTS!"

Rainbow embers of energy explode from our bodies as the six of us prepare our spells, which we all launch towards Prometheus in one massive flurry.

Prometheus smirks as he observes the rainbow assortment of spells flying towards him.

Slowly…Prometheus lifts a hand up towards the blank blindfold covering his eyes.

And then…a mere moment before our six spells can BLAST into Prometheus, he RIPS off his blindfold.

"NULLIFY!"

In one moment, our six spells were flying towards Prometheus. But then…in the next instant…they disappear.

That is…except for MINE.

Prometheus' eyes widen as my Rapids Claw TEARS into Prometheus, which sends him flying backwards.

Prometheus gasps as he sits up and touches the bloody wound in his chest.

"How…can this be…?" Prometheus asks as he lifts a palm up to his face, seeing it dyed red with blood, "I used my Devil Eye, yet…that DAMN water spell still hit me…? How long has it been since I was made to bleed…?"

"What the HELL happened?!" Khione frantically cries, "What happened to our spells?!"

"I…don't know…" I answer, my eyes still wide in astonishment.

"Look at his eyes," Old-Man F says as he points to Prometheus. All five of us look to where Old-Man F is pointing, seeing that the sclera of both of Prometheus' eyes are black. Prometheus' left eye is flame-orange with a red pupil in the form of an unknown symbol, while his right eye is gold with a hot-blue pupil in the form of a different symbol.

"Prometheus…has TWO Devil Eyes…" I gasp.

"My left eye grants me the ability to negate the ability to E-Charger of whoever I look at," Prometheus explains, "However…you were still able to hit me with your spell, little brother! How is that?"

"Little brother…?" Khione whispers to me, but I ignore her.

Prometheus narrows his eyes at my left Devil Eye.

"So I see…" Prometheus says, "Your Godly body has been tainted by the eye of the Devil, the eye that allows you to NEGATE the ability of other Devil Eyes on your body."

My eyes widen.

"How do you-" I begin to ask, but Prometheus speaks over me.

"So you and ONLY you can E-Charge within my sight, little brother!"

"Noah, just WHAT is happening here?!" Khione snaps.

"Well now that my two other siblings are here…I'll tell you!" Prometheus explains, causing Ana and Gaia to flinch. Prometheus then holds a hand up, and a golden fireball ignites in his palm.

"Noah, is that-'' Ana begins to ask, but I cut her off.

"Yes. He is the E-Charger of FIRE…Prometheus…"

"You have no memories, my poor, dear siblings, so allow me to enlighten you!" Prometheus booms, "The one who flooded the earth two hundred years ago and brought about the demise of humanity…was NONE OTHER than the man standing next to you…Noah, the E-Charger of Water…formerly known as the GOD of Water… Poseidon!"

My eyes widen.

I open my mouth, but no words come out.

And before I can say anything, Prometheus continues speaking, anyway.

"But Anemoi and Gaia aren't so innocent either! By using their strength as the Goddess of Wind and the God of Earth…they amplified Posideon's tsunami, and granted it the power to flood the entire planet, thrusting human civilization back HUNDREDS of years and slaughtering ninety-nine percent of humanity!"

Ana, Gaia, and I…are awestruck.

"Noah…?" Khione softly asks as she peers over at me, with tears in her eyes.

"NO, OF COURSE NOT!" Ana booms, "None of it is true, it CAN'T be!"

"None of us…would EVER do such a thing!" Gaia wails.

But Khione ignores them.

"Noah…?"

"It's…" I begin to say, "It's not…"

But before I can finish, a wave of pain courses throughout my body, causing me to drop to the ground and clutch my aching head.

"NOAH!"

Groaning in pain, memories of the past begin to FLOOD into my body.

Cities bustling with humans…nature…a massive flood…a huge arc named NOAH…all at once, all of my memories…come back to me.

"NOAH was the name of the arc you rode on!" Prometheus cackles, "Not YOUR name, you oaf!"

"But why!" Ana wails, "Why…would we do such a thing?! WHY CAN'T WE REMEMBER!"

"You three had said to me that humanity was corrupt," Prometheus sighs, "And despite my protests, you came up with the plan to flood the world. Afterwards, the FOUR of us were punished by Zeus -God of Gods- and were thus sent to earth as punishment. You three -especially Noah- were punished the most, suffering the removal of your memories and true powers. While I, on the other hand, not only retained my memories, but my full strength, as well."

"AND USING THIS STRENGTH, I SHALL KILL YOU THREE FOR RUINING MY LIFE! I WILL RULE THIS WORLD AS THIS ONE TRUE GOD!"

"THIS ISN'T TRUE!" Gaia roars, "RIGHT, NOAH?!"

But when Gaia peers down at me, he pauses. Writhing on the ground in pain, as memories of the past flood back into my brain…the horrifying realization of the truth of Prometheus' words begins sneaking into Ana's and Gaia's brains.

"Noah…?"

I couldn't write and scream in pain.

The year of 2023…everything Pormetheus told me about…the Earth…the Sun…death…blood destruction…

I can see everything.

And then…as a HUGE torrent of water explodes out of my body, a torrent of water that I never would have been able to consciously create…everything goes dark.
