Chapter 127-Team Noah vs Prometheus, Part Two

"NOW, TO TAKE OUT THE NEXT ONE WHILE THEY'RE DISTRACTED!" Prometheus cackles as he turns to face Khione as he launches a flaming fist towards her. Khione -too busy mourning- is too distracted to respond.

However, before Khione could be pierced by Prometheus' flaming punch, just like her master before her, a GIANT torrent of water forms around Team Noah, which sends Prometheus flying backwards.

And then, once the water clears…there I stand.

Ready to kill Prometheus once and for all.

Everyone's eyes widen.

"NOAH!"

Prometheus' expression brightens.

"So you've finally come, Water Charger!"

Ignoring Prometheus, I turn around to face Old-Man F, who's laying on the ground, his face scrunched in pain, as Mary looms over him, frantically trying to heal her master.

"Old-Man…" I softly say.

"So you've finally come, Noah," Old-Man F says with a weak smile as he opens his eyes upon hearing my voice, followed by a weak cough.

"Master, I'm sorry…" I wince as I turn away in shame, "If only I had mastered Infinity Charge sooner, then-"

"It's okay, Noah," Old-Man F says, cutting me off.

"NO, IT'S MY FAULT, I'M SORRY!" Mary wails as she presses her hands to Old-Man F's wound, blood seeping through her fingers, "If only…IF ONLY I HADN'T BEEN SO VULNERABLE! IF I HAD A LITTLE MORE STRENGTH LEFT, THEN I COULD HEAL YOUR WOUNDS!"

"MASTER!" Khione cries as she shoves Mary out of the way then drops to her knees next to Old-Man F. Khione presses her hands over her wounds and attempts to freeze it shut, "Crap…this HOLE'S TOO BIG!"

"It's no one's fault," Old-Man F says with a small, warm smile, "I'm the master and you are my pupils. It's only fair that I'd sacrifice myself so that the next generation can carry on."

"No…" Khione trembles, "Master, no!"

Mary sobs.

Ana and Gaia tremble, as well.

"Noah, just promise me one thing-" Old-Man F continues as his expression turns serious and he holds a hand up to me, "Promise me…that you'll save the world…and that my daughter and students will make it out of this alive."

"I promise," I nod, as I take Old-Man F's hand.

Old-Man F nods as well, and then…his hands slips out of mine and drops to the ground.

"DDDDDAAAAAAAAADDDDD!!!!!!!!!!" Khione wails.

Mary and Ana sob uncontrollably, while Gaia begins to tear up as well.

As for me, I stare silently and unwavering from Old-Man F's body.

"WHO CARES ABOUT THE DEATH OF SOME OLD FOOL!" Prometheus cackles as he thrusts a hand towards me, firing off a blast of flames.

Without even looking away from my fallen master, I swing a hand outwards, knocking away Prometheus flames and blowing them back towards him.

Prometheus' eyes widen.

Gaia's eyes widen at my display of strength.

A moment later, Gaia snaps back to reality and faces the team.

"Guys, we have to get out of here!" Gaia barks, "If we stay we're any longer…WE'LL be dead, too!"

"MASTER!" Khione wails as she slams her fists over and over into the ground.

Ana reaches down and wraps her arms around Khione, wrestling her away from Old-Man F's body.

"LET GO OF ME!" Khione screams as she flails in protest.

Gaia reaches down and scoops up Old-Man F's body.

"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" Prometheus cackles as he aims a hand at my team, firing off another burst of flames, "I'LL ROAST YOU ALIVE, SO THAT NOAH AND I CAN HAVE THE GREATEST BATTLE IN THE WORLD!"

"COME ON, LET'S GO!" Gaia orders as he, Khione, Ana, and Mary hustle out of the cavern.

Bbefore the flames can reach my team, I aim a hand towards the fire and shout: "Water Charge, Water of Emotion: FREEZE!"

A blast of ice cold water fires from my hand, freezing over Prometheus's flames.

"Impressive," Prometheus smirks.

I scowl as I turn back to face Prometheus and exhale a chilly breath.

"You make me feel cold inside."

"Anyways, should we-" Prometheus begins to say, but before he can finish, I dash towards him, then palm his face.

"WATER CHARGE, WATER OF EMOTION-" I began to shout before Prometheus can't even process what's happening.

"-SCALD!"

A blast of boiling water shoots from my hand, blasting into Prometheus which sends him flying straight through the walls of Mt Fuji and flying through the sky.

I then crouch down, summoning a torrent of water which propels me through the air towards Prometheus.

Once before Prometheus, I slam a water-coated fist into his gut, which sends Prometheus FLYING towards the ground, his back slamming into it in a cloud of dust, and leaving a Prometheus-shaped crater in his wake.

Prometheus coughs as I land on the ground before him, kicking up my own cloud of dust.

"Heat, too?" Prometheus weakly smirks, "Too cold to burn me."

"I've never felt such rage yet such emptiness before."

"Then you should thank me! For showing you such a broad range of emotions!"

Something inside of me snapped.

Before Proemtheus can even leave his crater, I dash towards him almost faster than the human eye can react and launch another water-coated punch towards his face.

But this time, Prometheus reaches up and catches my fist, sending shockwaves of air flying everywhere.

My eyes widen.

"Alright, enough of this," Prometheus smirks, "Now it's time to show off what I can do."

Before I can react, Prometheus slams a flaming fist into my gut, causing me to vomit up blood as I'm sent flying backwards, blasting straight through the volcano and landing on the other side.

I cough as I weakly attempt to push myself off of the ground.

Prometheus then appears before me, using a stream of flames radiating from the soles of his feet to hover mid-air.

"Since I can't use my Devil Eye abilities on you, this fight will come down to pure E-Charge abilities."

"Then let's see what you can do, God of Flames," I smirk as I weakly bring my hands up.
