The monster was about 2 feet shorter thanks to my help. I'm not spending a month tearing this down slowly... I was still pretty scared about her going to space.
Would I go..... to space, especially if she's there..... But my family....... I could always visit. I guess I should talk to-
"YO!" Irene screamed. I popped my eye open. My head was on Venus' lap while she messed with my hair. "Teach me how to use the powers dammit." Irene snapped
"But... you could kill everyone." Clone said
"She has to learn eventually. Or else she will just start accidentally moving shit."
"That's true. I did Clone out of no where a year after my coma."
"Or we can just show her the energy." I said holding a ball.
Clone stared at me in frustration. "Remember last time we did that? It exploded..... what about the monster. WITH Irene?"
"If the ball is big enough." I said. "Alright Irene. Let's get to training."
—————————
We sent her to Eneas and went to go deal with the monster that just got back from retreating.
Venus split into about 50 and attacked several times. The monster hardened like it always does and shot out the shells. I shot them to break them into smaller pieces. Less damage means less money.....
Venus grabbed me. "Let's try that ball thing."
We took a deep breath and tried to get our breathing in sync. We started building it up while the monster was distracted by the tanks and jets. I started squinting my eyes because it was getting too bright. "Focus!!" Venus screamed. The ball was half the size of the monster. We threw it and it gave off such a light. I closed my eyes and ducked. The energy dissapated I looked back and the monster stool there frozen.
I smiled and turned to Venus. The statue rumbled. Sludge started oozing out of cracks in the solid force. It began to wear it as armor. I shot towards the solid area.... It pierced through. But it grew back.
Venus started cheering. She took off her mask and started crying. "This is going to be over so soon....."
"What do you MEAN?! It's even stronger now!"
"But it's smaller. We need a big one... from the inside."
"We might suffocate that way..." I mumbled.
Venus sighed. "If we hold our breaths well enough and jump in ready to go.... We might stop it from growing."
She ignored the comment of us dying. "Yeah.... But we might die."
"Self sacrifice....." She said. "You don't have to come with me."
"The blast won't be that strong then.... I have to come with. I hope Irene knows how to do it.... Cause it could be alot stronger" I watched as the monster began rampaging again.
"Go check on her. I can hold down the fort." She kissed my cheek and split into four. I charged and shot off towards the ship.

I touched down and Irene hit me with a blast. I hit a tree and gasped for air the ground started to float under me. I laid infront of Irene and Eneas.
"Fuck you." I said feeling the stinging on my abdomen. Irene laughed. "It's been 3 hours... How is the monster situation?"
"Almost solved... We need Irene."
"For the ball? I'm not sure if shes ready...." Eneas muttered. Can she sense it? Was it that big?
"We need it now."
"If she does it wrong it could kill you three."
"We all know that isn't going to happen" Irene laughed. She held her hand out a grey blast erupted into the sky. She closed her hand and looked at me with a pain smile.
I took deep breaths. She took the hint and followed my command. Eventually us hitting every inhale together. I put her hand near mine. The grey color started to shake around my blue. She slowed her breath as the ball calmed down. The ball started growing bigger, I was ready calmly let it dissapear, Irene pushed away in fear causing the ball to drop.
"Fuck" It blew up into my face and I shot into the sky. I floated down trying to catch my breath again. I landed onto the floor and Irene and Eneas came to my aid.
"Just trust Clone and I know what we are doing. You are coming with us. We want this ended."
Irene looked at me a little shaken up.
"You want to go to space? There will probably be alot harder challenges than this..."
"Alot harder." Eneas chimed in
"Grow a pair and let's end this so the city can be safe again."
Irene smirked and sighed. "Alright let's finish this."
