A silent nod is shared as we both make our way on either side of Mr.Fireball. As we circle him,Luke looks around at us both deciding who to attack first. But he makes his decision and goes to Jordan. I watch for a time to intervene if it gets to much but by the looks of it Jordan is doing just fine. As expected.
Jordan soon shifts into their more feminine form and releases one last blow of energy. Forcing Luke into one of the talk pillars,knocking him to the ground. As Luke starts to get up,grunting from the hard hit. Jordan makes direct eye contact which just from that I know it's time for Luke to be passed onto me to fight. Well let's go then.
"So um Mr.Fireball, I don't exactly know what has just been happening but it's going to be okay." I say putting my hands to my side still forming a small balls of crimson energy just in case if this goes to shit. Honestly still thankful they are now working with a bit of control.
"Just calm down okay." I try to sound the calmest I could. Luke fully makes it to his feet. Slowly lifting his head to me and Jordan behind me. By the look in his eyes I can tell golden boy isn't back yet. He's too clouded with so many mixed emotions that cloud his judgement. I can tell because trust me,I lived with that same feeling so many times back at my house. I watch carefully,making the energy forces in my hands bigger the more he doesn't stop moving towards me.
Luke suddenly fully shoots forward trying to get a hit in but I quickly block it by raising my hands above my head like before. Forming a shield in-front of me. Although Luke doesn't stop. He keeps hitting and hitting. I try my best to hold him back but with one of his last blows of his fire energy. The shield shatters into pieces. My eyes widen. Oh shit. Luke jumps forward to make his attack. But Jordan jumps at the chance to try and protect me by switching to their masculine form.
But it's too late. Luke gets to me just a second quicker,almost picking me up and throwing into the many other pillars inside the schools entrance.
Just as my body hits the pillar,my head snaps back forcing my vision to go dark as soon as I hit the floor. Luckily, I didn't fully go unconscious so I stand up as quickly as I can to my feet. Just as like goes in for another attack,Jordan jumps forward to try and safe me for the hundredth time today. But I use some of my last energy to form a quick bubble shield around them,keeping them from getting hurt because of me again. I watch for a second to see them banging on shield yelling. The only thing I could pick up was my name being called over and over. I have to do what I have to do. I can't let anybody get hurt because of me again.
Luke goes again for another attack as my attention was still caught on making sure that shield stayed around Jordan. Which gives Luke the opportunity to which he takes. And throws me once again into one of the walls which I swear I get whiplash from. But I have no time to even think about that because Luke comes to my figure leaned against the cold wall. He leans in and wraps his hands around my throat.
I cough. "I didn't know you were this kinky Luke" I say winking. Trying to distract myself from the probably soon death experience coming up.
"I really didn't want to do this Stella but the-the woods I have to. You w-wouldn't understand." Luke stutters with a guilt ridden voice mix with 'I'm about to murder you.' You know, just a typical Monday. I start to cough more as his grip gets tighter. But all I can hear is Jordan's faint yelling out. Just as my vision is about to fade with my life. I take a glance to my left hand,seeing a faint spark of my crimson colored powers. About damn time. With all the energy I have left,I take my eyes to Luke.
"You know what Luke yeah I d-" I cough with my last breaths. "Don't understand but y-you know where's the fun in that." I feel as the strongest flow of energy goes throughout my body,having my eyes turn to the darkest shade of red.
Without thinking I push my hands forwards causing look to fly forward but still remain standing. I lift my hand to my head ,feeling the huge gash of when my head hit that pillar. Fuck me that hurt. "No, cause Mr.Fireball that was a bitch move." I wince.
I say looking at the red colored blood now on my hand. Just in a second I have to time to fully look down at all the wounds that I have collected after being thrown around like fucking rag doll. But I snap my focus to Luke. As he comes running towards me, sending his consent fire energy force. Forcing me to the ground. Fuck.
As he comes forward at full force. I top him from getting even closer by having my hands in-front forming energy that blocks him from fully coming at me.
(Really picturing Wanda & thanos iconic fight scene in endgame. ;)
Just as I push the energy more to him he counters it by jabbing me in the side. Knocking any air out of my lungs. Seriously! Enough with causing me whiplash. God. Because he had hit me so hard,my sudden power surge goes away like a flash. Leaving me with no energy anymore so I my mind quickly goes blank and I fall unconscious to the ground.
-Jordan-
Im not a emotional person by any means. But I watch as Stella is getting close to her death bed from getting thrown into everything and getting choked to a near pass out.
But by watching this. I feel a tear drip down my cheek to hard til floor. I do know that Stella is one of the most powerful people I have ever seen but watching the life get drained out of her in one last attack is one thing I never wanted to experience.
I yell and yell her name. Begging her to let her shield down. I need to help her. Hell knows all I want to do is protect her. I know she has been through hell and back. So, she deserves even the littlest bit of peace as long as I am here. I want to make sure she will get that.
My thoughts are cut short as I hear a loud thud. My head snaps forward to see Stella hitting the ground. Unconscious. Fuck!
Not even skipping a beat. As her energy was lost,her standing shield was. Shattering into pieces in-front of me. I spend no time in running straight to her. Clearing any idea of Luke out of my head. I kneel down next to her limp body,checking if she still has a pulse. I breathe in a breath of relief because there is a slight pulse. It's small but it's there.
I lift her head into my lap. I watch as her face forms a wince. Fuck,thank god she's waking up. Her hazel eyes flutter open. With a clear look as she is uncomfortable hence all her wounds.
I lift her into my chest. Embracing her in a hug. But still careful of her wounds around her body. I release my grip to examine her face for any injuries. "W-where's Luke?" She lets out in groggy tone. Oh shit,I almost forgot about him. My eyes shoot up to watch Luke walking outside not sparing us one last glance. Probably because he thought he finally killed Stella for good. I hear grunts from underneath me of Stella trying to make her way to her feet. My best guess is to follow Luke. But to hell with that. She's to hurt to even walk anywhere anymore.
-Stella-
My body is gently pushed back down into their lap. "Sunshine,you're to fucking hurt to move. You've done to much by using your energy to protect me and fight Luke. So we are staying here until help arrives." Jordan says particularly in one breath.
"No." I clearly state,finally getting to my feet. To hell with allowing Marie to face Luke by herself with no help.
"Jordan, Marie is one of my best friends." I say finally getting out of their grip in a bit of a hurry. "So I'm not going to let herself get herself killed because of Luke." I say walking as fast as I can to the door outside. My hand is caught by Jordan in their more feminine form. "You're stubborn sunshine. So at least let me protect you now." They say trying to form a tight smile.
I just give a nod. As my eyes look around to find Mr.Fireball, when my eyes are snapped to Luke In front of Marie and Andre.
Ignoring any pain from my wounds. My body takes control and runs up to the group lifting my hands forward. Shooting a shield around Luke causing him to snap his head around to me. "I'm not dead yet golden boy." I say holding the shield as strong as I can. "MARIE! YOU GOOD?!" I ask my best friend. She nods carefully with fear clear in her eyes.
"Stella! I got it,it's fine. He won't hurt anyone." Andre yells back at me. You sure about that buddy. I raise my eyebrow. Jordan and I lock eyes as they give me nod of 'it's okay,save your energy.' I carefully release the shield around Luke and watch as him and Andre talk.
Just then you see as Luke leans in and whispers something in his ear which doesn't give Andre any reaction time as all of us watch as Luke flys up far in the sky. Staying for a second there. You can almost hear his many thoughts. What the hell could he be doin-
Every thought,every moment is caught off by the loud noise of popping. The popping of Lukes body fully exploding. With blood splattering over everyone. Which I feel the long streams going down my face and my whole body.
My eyes widen. HOLY FUCK!?
My eyes scan the crowd of the looks of horror and fear on everyone's face. I wipe my eyes of Luke's consent flow of blood on my face. To which I look down at my red stained hands.
With skipping a second I let out the loudest laugh. "HOLY" I laugh again. "SHIT" I point up to the spot of Luke's now non existent body.
I'm laughing so much I have to bend over and place my hands on my knees out of laughter.
"Oh my goddd. Did-did he just fucking blow himself up!?" Oh my god that's gold. I wipe my tears of laughter out of my eyes to be met with silence and Jordan's small smirk. "Oh are we just all going to forget how he just almost killed me,Marie and Jordan. I look at Marie to see her mouth fully opened with shock.
What too much?
