Chapter 9
Clash and Remove
Admeet leapt forward and tackled Solister to the ground. But upon rolling over, Solister kicked with her legs and sent Admeet towards one half-arches. But as soon as he hit the ground, he was up on his feet again. He quickly shot out purple electricity out of his hands but the bolt missed and hit another half-arch. Solister did the same but it also missed and this time entered the beam. The beam shot out the electricity again but this time it was more powerful. It hit one of the half-arches and cracked part of the stone to reveal a peculiar pattern of bronze and gold metal. Admeet and Solister ignored this and kept on fighting. Admeet ran towards Solister and got ready to punch her. However, when his fist made contact, Solister counter-attacked and blocked his fist with her left hand. She in turn tried to punch him but was blocked with his left hand as well. The two were struggling to keep a firm grip on the opposition. Then Solister started to create electricity around her hands which started to make Admeet struggle even more. Admeet did the same with his hands but the effect wasn’t as powerful. He then, with all his power threw Solister over himself. She hit the ground with a thud but quickly got up again.
The two of them fought for at least an hour with scorch marks littering the battlefield. Admeet Leapt up onto the top of a half-arch and Solister did the same on another opposite him. The two eyed each other. Then Admeet shot an electric bolt towards Solister but she did the same towards Admeet. Strangely, both bolts connected in a flash of light and sparks; both sides weren’t retaliating. It was around a minute later as the two began to struggle and notice something at the same time. Shockwaves from the connection started to break the remaining labs of stone to reveal a larger view of bronze and gold. At the end of each half-arch was a large purple gem stone. They all emitted purple electricity and the bolts hit the centre of the connection. A large orb of dark energy was forming around the centre of the connection. And strangely, Solister was starting to lose her black skin and white eyes; she was reverting back to her normal self. However, Admeet was getting more powerful and more evil by the second. The surge of energy in the orb was becoming too unstable as the connection started to weaken. Solister had now become too exhausted but Admeet just kept on going. Then finally, Solister fell to the ground, shattered. The fall from the half-arch broke some rib bones inside her; she screamed in the pain. the connection was broken. Admeet stopped the flow of electricity to his arms and looked at Solister on the ground. He then leapt of the half-arch and landed on the ground. He walked over to Solister, more anger in his eyes than before. Solister lifted her head weakly. Zaypher ran over to her, ignoring his pain and focusing on hers. “Admeet, snap out of this” Zaypher shouted, “You don’t know what you are doing”. Admeet said nothing and edged closer to the pair. “Please, Admeet, stop” Solister wheezed out of her slightly crushed lungs, “I don’t want to lose you like the way you lost me. Please Admeet. I... I... I love you” The last words stopped Admeet in his tracks. He stood there wide-eyed looking at Solister. He then realised what he was doing. His black skin started to fade into the original dark green. His eyes turned back to the original red. He stumbled slightly but then fell to the ground; he breathed heavily. All of his energy had vanished. Solister crawled slowly towards him and looked him in the eye. Admeet smiled towards her and she smiled weakly back. Then they brought their arms around each other in a comforting hug, relieved that it was all over.
