Chapter 131: Birth of a Hero Part 5 (1/2)
Scarlett came to seeing Zinnia battling a giant dragon. She began crawling towards Alton shivering in the snow. Making it to her ally, she helped him up resting Alton on her lap. ”Alton, can you hear me? Alton?”
Alton began coughing fluttering, opening his eyes glancing up at Scarlett. ”We need… stop Monty.”
Scarlett turned around watching Zinnia flying around, giving it her all. ”Zinnia will stop him, she has to.”
Alton saw the commission handshaking. He knew she had no chance of winning. None of them did, all he could be watch the events play out, this didn't mean he was willing to give up. ”Don't… Worry about me, Scarlett. Help Zinnia. Please help her!”
Scarlett bit her lip nodding as she stood up looking down at Alton once more. ”I'll do what I can.” Scarlett curled her hands around as her body began glowing green. Her eyes snapped open, glowing crimson red. ”Let's finish this!”
”Monty you have to stop this! What do you get out of this? Killing others won't solve anything.” Zinnia barked spinning in the air dodging the charge attack. She turned around, slashing her sword forward as electrical projectiles flew at him. Getting a direct hit, it seemed to do little to anything.
Monty turned around, charging up a blast of fire. Preparing a counter Scarlett flew down holding back the attack with her telekinesis crushing her hand the fire vanished. ”Need a hand girl?”
”Scarlett! But you're still hurt.”
Holding her waist, she smirked, shaking her head. ”This is nothing. I'll show this Montague slime what I'm really made of. I'll follow your lead.”
Zinnia nodded twisted her katana behind her as she flew towards the dragon. Swinging her sword Monty went to counter-strike, Scarlett focused on Zinnia teleporting her above. Flying down, she slashed through him hitting the ground and using the momentum to pass back up slicing through him again. Scaley armour cracked and fell off making Zinnia flinch. ”That's it! We take down the armour we take down Monty!”
Scarlett held her hand over her face giggling. ”Very well. If destruction and chaos are what you want, allow me to be the harbinger of such feats!” Clenching both her hands into a ball shape Scarlett pulled them both out as ripples of energy emerged. Once her arms were fully out, she slammed her hands together, causing a colossal blast of explosions lighting the whole area alight.
Monty was blasted to kingdom come, but yet again the effect was small. He flew out from the smoke pinning Scarlett holding her against the wall, preparing to incinerate her. Scarlett felt the pain of being crushed increase as her eyes glowed brighter. She screamed, pushing the dragon off her sending him flying to the ground with a blast of energy. She held her hand up as a small array of explosions formed. ”Out of my sight, foul creature!”
As Monty was blown up, Zinnia was running around against the wall readying her attack. Blasting herself with lightning, she rippled through creating serval copies of herself all around Monty. Swinging her sword forward, she slashed through all the copies cutting down Monty serval times before flying above him, striking down once more with another lightning strike behind her. Being teleported back up Scarlett and Zinnia looked down seeing little progress for their efforts. ”This will take forever if we keep up with this rate.”
Zinnia turned to Scarlett nodding. ”Then, we combine our attacks. Give him a blast of everything we've got. We can't lose!”
”When will you learn?! You cannot defeat this. I am what this world needs. I'll put down you and the Montagues in one swoop and become the hero I was destined to be. You cannot defy fate!”
”What sort of hero turns into a fire breathing dragon spreading death and carnage…” Scarlett whispered. ”I think Vanguard was more of a hero than this guy.”
