Storm

"You sensed them, Milarite?" I asked.

Milarite nodded. Oh my Notch, I'm not good with sign language...

"I have sensed something," Wei the "old" man said.

"Spill it," Lion told him.

"They'll--"

Suddenly, the ground near us exploded as rubble scattered around. I gave a little shriek as I saw someone rather familiar.

From the hole, I saw a phoenix soar high into the sky.

"Athaliah!" we cried in relief. But it was not meant to be.

The phoenix gave a loud screech that echoed throughout the entire city that sounded like an eagle.

For protection, we covered our ears.

"Athaliah!" we called once again. However, she didn't listen as she started wreaking havoc, causing outbursts of flames on buildings.

"Athaliah! Oh crap..." I called her again, but it seems like that she's not listening at all. I doubt if she couldn't hear us.

"Let's go get her," Lion told us.

"C'mon!" Nev gestured as she flew towards the phoenix.

Running towards the phoenix, later did I realize that I was floating a block off the ground.

"...wait, hold on...!"

With effort, I concentrated on making myself levitate higher than I was. Soon, I was floating two blocks, then three, then four, and so on. I took off like a jet leaving the runway.

I looked down and tried to measure how far am I from the ground. It was immeasurable, but I noticed that there were patches of clouds surrounding me.

Am I controlling... humidity?

That didn't matter as I focused on keeping myself high and tried to go near Athaliah.

The phoenix turned to me, then gave a loud screech that made me cover my ears.

It rushed over to me, grabbed me using its claws, and pinned me down on a quartz building.

I wiggled and tried to pull myself out, but the phoenix was too strong. Desperation covered me as I dodged the phoenix's peck.

Then, a tornado formed near me, sucking everything that went on its way, including the phoenix.

However, I fell a few blocks before I managed to manipulate air pressure to control me.

The phoenix got out of the tornado as piles of rubble circulated the tornado. A thunder boom could be heard in the distance.

Then, lightning struck the phoenix, causing it to lose control of itself and fall down.

It gave a loud screech as it managed to control itself using its wings.

With its wings outstretched, the phoenix glowed white as I scrunched my eyes due to its intense brightness.

By the time the light faded, the phoenix was gone. The normal Athaliah stood in its place, floating in mid-air.

"...Liah...?"

She turned to me, as angry as ever. She stared at me with her eyes.

But I do remember that her eyes are not glowing blue.

"So you wanna take things, the hard way, eh?" Athaliah said creepily. What I do remember was that she did not speak with her voice.

I remember her voice is not like that... Oh crap.

Blue-eyed Athaliah charged at me with her broadsword at the ready. I barely managed to block her attack with my rod.

Athaliah swung her sword to my right, but I blocked it again with my blaze rod.

Before I could even attack, she gave another swing, this time at the top of my head, as I moved to the right, dodging it.

I tried to regain my composure, but Athaliah gave a powerful strike. I tried blocking it again, but ended with me losing grip of my rod.

I'm disarmed. Yay.

I closed my eyes, and prayed to Notch that this would work.

Athaliah was going to send another strike, and therefore I couldn't block.

With one swift motion, I moved my hands towards her. Lightning followed shortly, striking her precisely.

She lost grip of her broadsword, and I registered the fact that she's disarmed.

Purple shards and arrows rained the environment around us, as she made swift movement with her fingers. Fire came out of nowhere.

What?! Is she manipulating fire?!

I tried to defend myself from the flames by summoning winds that blew the flames away.

Athaliah formed an orb out of flames and shot it at me. I blew it away using wind.

When the skies turned dark, Athaliah put her hands into the air, as if calling something. I charged at her, lightning forming around my palms. I shot her using the electrical ball.

Just in time to see fire fall from the sky. I watched the spectacular phenomenon as I formed some sort of a wind shield.

Athaliah moved over to me, then kicked me on my stomach. I winced in pain, removing my focus from the wind shield.

I punched her back to the cheeks, and it was her turn to wince in pain.

I'm pretty sure that she's not in her normal state. It made me feel like someone's... controlling her...

Athaliah smacked back. I dodged it as I watched the fireballs fall from the sky.

Explosions echo in the distance as I kicked her on the ribs.

Athaliah kicked me back on my chest, causing me to get knocked back a few blocks away.

However, it was too late when I realized I fell into the way of a fireball.

I felt pain overrun my body as I fell. The force of the fireball made me fall faster. I suffered burns, and falling didn't help at all.

I landed hardly into the ground. The impact made it even more painful. I am still surprised that I'm still alive.

I tried to stand up, but I couldn't feel my arms and legs...

I tried moving them, but I didn't feel a single nerve. I could only watch my limbs go limp.

Athaliah descended from the air and landed on the ground. Her angry, soulless eyes stared at me, and she plastered a creepy smile on her face.

"Liah... don't do this... you're not... you..." I muttered.

"Too bad," she said in a voice that wasn't hers.

She formed a fireball in her hands.

I couldn't move. I couldn't scream for help. I couldn't do anything to save myself. I could only watch her shape my fate as she prepared the fireball that will spell my doom.

I watched her raise her hand with a fireball, along with the dark sky and bright fireballs that fall from it.

"Storm!" someone called out.

Athaliah threw the fireball at me, engulfing me in flames that felt like the Nether as I watched the painful sensation fade away as I blacked out... Forever...
