Chapter 127: Birth of a Hero Part 1 (2/2)
Alton held his head feeling a sharp pain racing through. ”It doesn't matter. I've taken down Monty before. I can do it again. This time there is three of us he doesn't stand a chance. We'll take him together.”
Monty leaned back taking in his newfound power snapping at the streamers. ”Teammates? Friends. To hell with all of that shit! I'll rip that pathetic false hope from each of you as I kill you one by one.”
Stepping down from the pile of snow, Monty went through the ground, throwing everyone off. In that split moment of panic, Monty flew from the ground, gripping Emil by the neck and throwing him over his shoulders into the wall with incredible strength. Alton, stopping any more harm towards Emil, shot up a wall of ice blocking the two off. Monty's fixation turned to the others as Scarlett held her hand forward, holding Monty on the spot. Holding him down, her hand began shaking as somehow Monty was breaking through her grip. Scarlett was shaking as her grasp on Monty tighter, but this did little. ”Impossible… How the hell is he doing this?”
Monty began marching towards them as he held his hand back, shouting. ”Weak, weak, weak!” Scarlett was smacked back as she crashed into the snow. ”Look at you all fall so easily. You are all weak!”
”You Goddamn lunatic… I'll make you pay for that.” Alton snapped jerking his hand forward, sending off a blizzard from his body. Monty jerked back falling backwards into the ground, jolting up behind him. Responding quickly Alton spun around meeting Monty's punch as the two slammed fists serval times. Monty came out on top during this brawl as Alton was lobbed in the face staggering him which was met by another punch which knocked him onto his knees. As Monty went in for another attack, Alton lifted his head up as icicles ripped from the ground blocking each attack scratching Monty's hand just missing a more fatal attack by inches. Smashing each of the ice, it shattered to the floor targeting Monty following him latching on and freezing the streamer. Standing up, panting Alton covered his right eye struggling. ”I won't let you win Monty. I won't fall to your fake strength. You're living a bloody lie!”
Monty smirked lifting his arms up, breaking through the ice his body still glowing as his eyes were burning with a fiery rage. ”That's pretty rich coming from a bunch of misfits like yourself. Always going about the truth exposing the lies and bullshit in this world. Give me a fucking break. The truth is only convenient for you if it works in your favour. If the real truth is not in your favour, you cast it aside as lies. What truth is that? Clinging onto a false truth is pure weakness. I am making my own truth and now have the power to back it!”
Alton gritted his teeth going to fight only to be pulled back as rubble rippled down laying waste to the area he was once standing. Falling to the ground, he turned seeing Scarlett lying down blood dripping down her head using the last of her power to bring the rubble down. ”Are you quite, alright?”
Alton stood up, patting himself down. ”Yeah, I don't like this.”
Getting his help Scarlett just managed to stand as she held her arm spitting blood from her mouth. ”Was this bastard always this strong?”
”Nowhere near. That wish must have boosted his power. He also never had Emil's powers…”
”It's our father's power… He always had it but refused to use it after learning of me… He's backed in a corner and is willing to use anything to win.” Emil coughed lying down, trying to get up.
”Stay down Emil. Scarlett and I will finish this.”
”You have a plan?”
”Half a plan… I just need you to keep Monty in one place for as long as possible.”
Scarlett sighed nodding. ”No promises.”
The rubble was thrown everywhere as Monty emerged unharmed and raring to go. Scarlett tied her hair back running in making each piece of rubble float as she leapt from each one hopping over Monty creating psychic chains which wrapped around him pinning him down. With serval chains just about keeping him at bay, Alton stood sturdy as a hailstorm engulfed him roaring around growing in power. Moving his hands away, he held on as the storm was freezing him over. With enough power behind him to finish this, he broke from his shell leaning back before blasting the storm forward. ”Dead storm!”
Monty saw the attack in the corner of his eye as he broke into action lifting his arms up shattering the chains all apart from the one Scarlett had held down. Tearing it up Scarlett was propelled from her location and towards him. At the last second Monty escaped from the storm as it hit Scarlett directly. She screamed out in immense pain before collapsing shivering with no sight of it ending. Monty stood behind Alton chuckling. ”Was that the best you got? I must applaud you for taking care of her for me, though. That just leaves us two.” Alton was kicked to the ground as Monty pinned him down landing punch after punch on him. Alton's face was bloody and beaten as Monty howled with anger. ”You don't understand how much joy this brings me! To finally have you on your knees, helpless to stop me! I am here today to prove to you Alton Brantley I am no longer weak! I am more powerful than any member of Team Rhapsody, even you! With this, my revenge will begin, and the Montagues will be no more!”
Smashing down another attack this one was stopped as Alton caught the punch crushing Monty's hand lifting him up. Alton stared on at Monty with one eye glowing yellow. Frozen flower petals rippled through the wind as Monty was knocked back. Floating to his feet, Alton wiped his mouth staring at Monty with ill intent. ”Sorry to burst your bubble Montague but I'm about to crack that revenge bubble like it's nothing. You talk weakness and power… Ha, how amusing. Allow me to show you just how weak you are then.”
