Void: Vol.II Ch.XV

 

On top of the roof of the Planetary Fortress, in the midst of an intense storm, Derrick and Phyre stand opposite and odd figure with a tear in space time swirling above them. Derrick struggles on the ground gripping his arm as he forces himself to stay conscious ignoring the pain shooting through his body. As he does the figure looks down on him, with tendrils extending down from its form lifting it into the air, with an odd grin on its face as Phyre stands in front of it trying to defend Derrick from the hostile figure.

            "Come now, come I've got time to waste. Let's have some fun while we wait." They says excitedly looking on Phyre and Derrick. "I'll even let you have the first move, see how sporting I am."

            "Yeah very sporting." Phyre looks on nervously trying to size up the figure, and then turning her attention down towards Derrick. "Are you okay? Can you move?" She whispers down to him.

            "Don't know, never felt this before. All I know is that everything hurts." Derrick whispers trying to stand up only to fall in pain.

            "You two are boring come now let's fight, we've got time before they call it out."

            "It?"

            "Yeah it's gonna come, break through the door and then we'll be one step closer."

            "Closer to what?"

            "Can't tell, gotta kill you!" They charge ahead swinging a tendril towards Phyre, smashing it into her with the force pushing her back towards the edge of the roof. "Now now, that's better let's do more of that!"

            "Damn it you said you 'd let me have the first move?" Phyre asks making her way back to the spot where Derrick lays.

            "Got bored, decided to attack now. Come on the fight is on, bring it!"

They charge ahead again with Phyre holding out her hands forming a shield of flames around her to block the blow. When the tentacle makes contact with the flames around her the fire spreads from the shield to the figure burning the tentacle.

            "OW!" They yell out jumping back as the fire spreads up their tendril towards their torso. "Ow, it hurts, it hurts!"

            "What the?" She asks confused by the sight. "Of course it hurts it's a fight what did you expect?"

            "It hurts, I don't like it when it hurts." The tendrils retreat into the figures cloak hiding away as it stands on its short legs as something moves around underneath the cloak. "I like it more when I hurt you!"

The tendrils erupt from the figures through the sleeves of the cloak, wrapped around their arms, and then slamming it onto the ground. Phyre looks on nervously as the figure swings the tendril around towards her before she jumps up into the air avoiding the attack.

            "Okay no problem, just gotta take this thing down." She says nervously looking on and readying herself for the next attack. So I'm fighting an unknown opponent, with a unknown ability, and with my back up on the ground in pain apparently from this thing and it's raining so my fire is weaker. She thinks to herself nervously. Oh well no use complaining, might as well keep up the fight, no way in hell am I losing to this thing.

            "I love that look in your eyes, that's the look of someone who's ready to risk it all, now come to me and show me that resolve!" They yell out excitedly charging towards Phyre and Derrick looks on trying to make himself move past the pain and assist Phyre in the battle. "Damn it, damn it, damn it, what's going on? Why can't I move, what's going on with me?"

 

Meanwhile inside of the fortress Zephyr, Adelina, and Zephyr's father move along towards the control room. Zephyr looks on seriously pushing his father's wheelchair along as they make their way along.

            "So what's the plan to stop all of this?" Adelina asks curiously. "Surly you don't think we can just walk in there and have your dad give your mom a good old lecture."

            "Yup that's the plan." Zephyr says seriously. "Mom always listens to Dad whenever they talk science or what not."

            "Yes it has been our form of flirting since before you were born and in fact we conceived you with...."

            "Okay enough Dad save it for Mom."

The trio make their way to a large door with a pair of guards standing in front of them blocking their path. Zephyr looks up at the two as Adelina reaches for her gun eyeing the guards as they look at the group stopping at Zephyr's father.

            "Hello, me and my companion s here would love to go inside and witness history in the making." He says with a large grin on his face. "So would you please let us pass?"

They look on each other before looking down at him nodding seriously. They move out of the way opening the doorway and allowing the threesome to pass.

            "Good good, now let's move along you two we've got some work to do."

            "Right." They both say in unison.

 

Inside of the room the scientist type away at various computers monitoring the tear as it continues swirling, an odd figure deep within it appearing every so often, and then readying themselves for another experiment. In the middle of the room Zephyr's Mom stands around triumphantly looking into the tear unwilling to turn away or even blink.

            "Oh great she's acting like that again." He says seriously taking the wheels of his wheelchair in his hands and then moving up towards her. "Come on now none of that, are you listening to me?"

            "Oh honey you've left the room? Well that's good, why don't we wait around and look towards the future honey."

            "Oh don't act like that, we have to stop this now."

            "Maim we're ready to shoot again!" One of the scientist says seriously.

            "Sorry Honey I can't stop now, we're close we need to keep working."

            "Close to what?" He asks nervously.

            "Let's find out, shoot it again!"
