Chapter 9 - Attack.

There was utmost destruction as soon as the hand had swept the target. The force ended up destroying the surrounding area, leaving it in a bad state. One that was worse than it was before. The dark figure took his time and waited for the dust to settle so that he could view Fergus' mangled corpse. But all he ended up seeing was a card that had been reduced to nothing but shreds.

" Displace." It said." Quite interesting"

===========

Fergus was surprised to find himself next to Kane. He began feeling himself, as if not believing that he was alive. He looked over at Kane. He was in a very bad condition. Kane was spewing a lot of blood from his mouth, having lost a a significant amount of blood from a head injury and his breathing sounding painful by each breath. He was weak, barely managing to stand. His eyes glowed not bright brown before but golden, almost a deep shade of it. His expression was grim, serious and all.

Fergus could tell right on that it wasn't Kane calling the shots but his ability was.

" Kane, I really don't think.." Fergus was cut off as kane took hold of him just in time to avoid a drop kick frome the figure.

Switch.

The ground on which they were on was crushed and crumbled, producing a large crater. Fergus found himself telaported on top of a house that was not far off. He began thinking of how he could get back to Kane and possibly survive but all his thoughts were in shambles.

One second, Fergus was looking at the place the attack had occured. The other, a hand clenched into a fist made it's way to his face at supersonic speeds. 

" Is this how I..." 

Switch.

The force of the punch tore through all that stood within it's path.

" The other Gifted is giving me a rather hard time. Perhaps I should handle him first." The figure said to itself. Kane had displaced Fergus on to the roof he was on.

Kane continously coughed out blood as he seemed to get weaker by the second. Fergus would have very much wanted to talk him out of using displace again but he had no time. Kane held onto Fergus' arm.

" Go fight him. I'll be your supporter." He weakly said.

" But if you go on any further.."

" Just shut and go lest you and this boy die!" Kane said in a deep and authoritative voice, something that Kane would not have done. Such convinced Fergus that it was Displace taking over but still, something felt off. He brushed aside all unneccessary thoughts and looked towards the figure that seemed to be talking to itself. 

Fergus closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them, an emerald green glow appeared on his eyes and on the pattern on his chest. As he charged up, a crystaline armour with varios shades of green began forming around him till it had fully enveloped him. The figure took notice of him and quickly took a fighting stance.

Everything went quiet as both of them simply looked at each other, none daring to move. Kane put his hands together causing all the cards he had left to emit a golden aura from them and begin levitating.

The figure jumped off the roof and landed on the ground. Fergus did the same. It stood still, not moving an inch. The pressure rose as Fergus kept on debating whether to attack first or not. from the exterior he looked like one who was ready to face the adversary head on, but in his heart, he felt something different. He felt like running away.

It's glowing blue eyes implanted in him fear . He felt like he was staring at death right in the face. The aura it emmitted was one of immense bloodlust mixed with a desire for vengence. Fergus could feel himself sweating from the the interior of the amour. He could feel his heart beating faster, every single one of his cells telling him to run away. But run away to where?

His resolve began getting shattered, his confidence dwindling. Fergus' stance got a bit less stable as he felt his body go stiff.

Stay strong Fergus, you can do this. Don't falter.... He inwardly told himself.

The figure seemed to notice all this and focused it's attention wholey on him. It took a step. Fergus found himself moving a step back out of reflex.

The environment began to change. The light of the crimson sun began dimming out. A cloud of mist and fog slowly began surrounding the whole area. This went on till the only thing visible apart from the darkness was the white fog.

I should get out of here... Fergus thought. He attempted to turn around and run but his legs were frozen to the ground out of fear. His body began to tremble. The air got a bit more humid, the atmosphere more eerie.

"Fergus, get out of there!" Shouted Kane from a distance.

" Kane where are you, are you ok?" Fergus asked. He got no reply.

Out of the darkness, azure blue eyes emerges. The whole ground was then flooded with water.

Master the tempest is raging. 

Before him , Fergus saw a throne of water appear. The whole place instantly transformed as the water from the ground rose up to create pillars and walls of a throne room.

The billows are drawing nigh.

It was magnificent. The scene before him was truly captivating. Despite having been made out of water, it appeared like it was made out of glass that had the colour of all the known shades of blue constantly conflicting, bringing upon a scenary of elegance.

The sky is o're filled with blackness.

 A path leading to the throne was created and on each side of the path knelt twelve women made of of water. On the throne the figure sat, with it's legs crossed. It took a long look at Fergus who was on his knees, having broken his transformation. He could't help but cry as the object of elegance and beauty flooded his soul with fear and despair.

No help or shelter is nigh.

The figure stoood from it's throne and began making it's way towards Fergus. As he took each step, the soft sound of it's feet displacing the water could be heard. All the women made out of water bowed before him. The figure only came to stop right next to Fergus. It looke down on him with eyes of pity and it was replaced by hatred. All Fergus could do is give him a look of despair

What do I do? What can I do? Is this the end?...Asked Fergus inwardly.

The figure put it's hand on his shoulder.

'" The earth shall simply obey my will. 

  Peace Be Still."
