009: Big Bang!
Geddon jolted forward, meeting Braun quickly. As Geddon was about to swing his Sword Aim tried to attack Braun from behind but was grabbed by his throat and held in front of Braun. Geddon dropped his Sword immediately not wanting to hit Aim.
Braun lifted his right arm and a gust of wind blasted Geddon backwards several feet. Geddon landed and coughed up a small pool of blood, it felt just like the very first punch Braun had landed on him.
“Come with me boy you have another destiny to uphold.” Braun spoke to Aim.
“Huh?! Let go of me!” Aim replied trying to struggle from Braun’s grip.
“I know of your father…of the sacrifice he will make and has made. You are a Nightfall after all”.
Aim’s eyes fueled with anger. “My dad?! What the fuck are you even saying”?!
Geddon stood up. For some odd reason his instinct was to launch himself using one foot as a pivot. In his eyes Aim stopped struggling which meant Geddon thought the worst.
“LET GO OF HIM NOW!” He screamed across to Braun. Out of nowhere Geddon’s legs and feet had burst into flames but he didn’t feel a burning sensation or even damage from the fire. He pushed his right foot in the dirt and took a huge leap.
Braun had seen Geddon soar into the sky with red orange flames trailing behind him. As soon as Braun finished whispering to Aim he threw Aim onto the ground, Geddon was right above him.
Geddon took his foot and curb stomped Braun directly on his head. On impact an explosion of fire and blue lightning surrounded the area. Aim was blown away by the explosion and looked on his left hand to see a serious burn mark.
“Geddon…has Peak?” He thought looking at Braun’s head charred and Geddon looking over him, still with flames on his legs and feet.
Braun was still alive but was breathing heavily and not moving. Geddon yelled out that he would not let any of his friends get killed. He picked up the SunSpore and aggressively pierced Braun’s head all the way through his chin.
“Ar-“ was all that Braun could say before his life faded away.
Team Protostar has won their first battle and Geddon has claimed his first life.
Geddon fell to his knees before dropping his Sword and falling unconscious, his flames extinguishing. Aim got up and walked over to both of them. He looked at Braun and felt a bit sorry for him then at Geddon and remembering what Braun had just told him. Aim was thinking of trying to pick up the SunSpore…then using it to kill Geddon as he was unconscious, but before he could Lee had came into his view.
“A-Aim!” Lee shouted. Aim seen how bloodied Lee was as he was huffing and limping up to him. He had a smile on his face.
“You guys beat Braun! Nice work Protostar”!
Aim began to cry, running up to Lee and aiding him over to Geddon.
“Aim go see if you can find my bag Geddon brought I need some medicine from it.” Lee asked. Aim nodded and ran towards the cabin to do so.
Lee continued trying to wake Geddon for several moments when finally his eyes opened slowly then widened at the sight of Lee.
“LEE! YOU’RE OKAY!” Geddon screamed hugging him.
Lee told him he’s sorry for getting the team hurt over his situation, they were getting close to their camp and Lee had to lure them away but got cornered at the cabin.
Aim came back and handed Lee his bag. He shuffled through it until he took out a syringe with three stars etched onto it.
“You’re up now but do you need this Geddon?” He asked.
“No Lee, you should use it instead you look worst than me!” He replied laughing.
Lee turned to Aim and seen how bad he looked. “If you take this syringe you’ll have more stamina for a good while and your injuries will heal rapidly, but you’ll feel heavy fatigue for a couple hours”. He explained to Aim.
Aim shook his head no.
“As Geddon said you need it, you’re the Captain”.
Lee looked at them both then put the syringe into his arm, having the clear liquid go into his bloodstream.
“Thanks mom.” He mumbled to himself. Lee felt better almost instantly and went to go wash away the blood on himself in the river behind the cabin.
“Geddon?” Aim called out getting his attention.
“What’s up Aim”?
“Do you know…of Hell”?
