Chapter 59: Chapter 59
"Water Shark," Nagisa shouted, a large water shark appearing and rushing towards Red Sky.
Red Sky raised his hand, red fire and wind covering it.
"Meteor Barrage," Red Sky chanted.
"What?" Nagisa gasped, shocked as Red Sky fired a barrage of fire and wind at the shark.
"Impossible," Fire General Kai said. "He replicated my attack like Noboru did. He is also using two Elements,"
"Two Elements," Yumeko said, shocked.
"That's not possible. Aura users only ever have one element, and that depends on their birth country," Layla said.
"But I remember Sky used two elements at the Wind Temple," Yumeko said.
"Ha Ha Ha. My counterpart does not realize his true power. I, however, can do this and much more," Red Sky gloated.
'His power. What does he mean? I need to save him and bring him back,' Yumeko thought.
"I can't believe he used two elements. This is unbelievable," Fire General Kai whispered.
'He should only be able to use one element. It's a well-known fact that no one, no matter how strong, has ever been able to use more than one element. Only the hero could use more than one,' Fire General Kai thought, recalling his history books.
'I know Red Sky is insanely strong, but this is not right. What is he, and why does he have two elements?' Layla thought, worried and concerned.
"Damn you, Aerithan freak! You dare touch your betters," Nagisa roared as Red Sky's attacks broke through the shark and hit him.
"My betters?" Red Sky laughed. "You're not worthy to lick my shoes."
"Water Dragon," Nagisa shouted as a giant water dragon appeared and rushed towards Red Sky, its jaws open.
"That's cute. Ice Dragon," Red Sky said mockingly as he formed a water dragon made of red water, shocking everyone.
'How the hell can he control the Water element? Is he like the Hero?' Fire General Kai wondered.
"Three Elements," Layla shouted, shocked.
'No wonder he is so strong. He has three elements and can control the higher elements, which makes him stronger. Wait, then Noboru can do this too, can't he?' Yumeko thought.
The red water suddenly cooled down by Red Wind and turned into ice as it hit the Water Dragon. The Ice Dragon broke through the Water Dragon and hit Nagisa, knocking him to the ground.
"Damn you, Aerithan. I won't let you get away with this," Nagisa yelled, getting up.
"No, you're not letting anything happen. You haven't realized yet, you lowly animal, but you're breathing only because I want you to. But it's time for Layla and Yumeko to take care of my needs, so sayonara," Red Sky smirked as a huge pillar of red fire surrounded Nagisa.
"ARGH!" Nagisa screamed as he was burnt.
"That's right, scream, my dear Aqouran," Red Sky said sadistically.
'Sky, please come back. Don't be like this,' Yumeko thought sadly as she watched the fire.
'We need to get rid of Red Sky. He is too dangerous and unstable,' Layla thought.
'This isn't him. It can't be. I can't believe the sweet, kind Sky could be so cruel and violent,' Yumeko thought.
"No, Sky, we need him alive," Fire General Kai shouted, making Red Sky look at him.
"You dare to try and tell me what to do," Red Sky snarled, making the Fire General gulp.
"Please, we need him alive," Yumeko pleaded.
"Yumeko, my dear, do you know what happens to those who stand in my way? They burn. And you know something? They deserve to be punished," Red Sky said, making the flame grow hotter.
"The Void. Your mother died to it. We need an alliance to stop it. If you kill him, we won't get the alliance," Layla cleverly shouted using his mother's death and hatred for the void which was the cause against him.
"The Void," Red Sky spat out the word like venom.
"Yes, the Void. We need his help to get the relics and stop the Void. And if you kill him, you are making it worse. I don't like him, but his kingdom can help us," Layla said.
"Layla is right," Fire General Kai added.
"Fine, I will let him live," Red Sky sighed as he stopped the flames, and Nagisa fell out burnt and unconscious.
"I have had my fill of fun, and now it's time for something sweeter," Red Sky said, walking over to Yumeko.
"Yumeko, run. Don't let him near you," Layla shouted, worried.
"Come here, my darling Yumeko," Red Sky said, walking towards her.
'This isn't the real Sky. This is just a twisted version of him,' Yumeko told herself, but when she looked into his red eyes, she couldn't move.
"That's right, come here," Red Sky purred, pulling her closer. "NO," Red Sky yelled in Sky's voice.
"Stop it, mongrel. I'm in control now," Red Sky said, his eyes glowing redder.
"What the hell is wrong with him?" Fire General Kai said, worried.
"It's Sky. He's fighting for control," Layla said, worriedly.
"That's right. I'm here," Sky said, his voice normal but his eyes still glowing.
"You can't beat me. I'm you, and you can't stop me," Red Sky said. "I defeated the Aqouran, you watched as my sweet Layla almost died, and made Yumeko fight. You are a disgrace. Just die."
"No. I'm not letting you hurt them," Sky said, struggling to keep control.
"Hurt them? I'm gonna give them pleasure unlike what you can do. You are too pathetic to satisfy either of them," Red Sky gloated.
'Pleasure?' Yumeko and Layla thought, their faces turning red, but Layla snapped out of it. "I don't want you. I see Sky as a brother, not a lover."
"Brother. You have no idea how wrong you are," Red Sky taunted.
"Sky, I love you, not this Red Sky. You can do it. I believe in your fight," Yumeko said, holding his hands.
"Yumeko. Layla. I won't let him hurt you. I will always be here," Sky said before his eyes glowed brighter, clashes of red and blue seen as they fought for control.
"Don't worry about them. I will take care of them," Red Sky said, making Layla and Yumeko shiver at the thoughts of what he meant.
"NO, I WON'T LET YOU!" Sky shouted, the red and blue in his eyes getting brighter.
"Why do you fight me? You are weak, worthless. You couldn't even protect mother. You were the son of two powerless but couldn't even use your power you were lucky to be born with to protect mother. You are worthless. That's why father left you and why I am here and the reason mother died," Red Sky sneered.
"NO. I CAN'T LET YOU HURT THEM. I WILL PROTECT THEM," Sky screamed, rage taking over as he was reminded of his mother. The red of Red Sky started to overpower the blue of Sky.
"Wait a minute, Sky. Calm down. It's what he wants. This Red Sky is anger, hatred. If you want to take over, calm down," Fire General Kai said as he watched and figured out a way. He had been watching since Red Sky appeared and figured Red Sky got more powerful and became the dominate when ever Sky experienced negative emotions and each day he became stronger.
"Sky, you're better than this. Please don't become like him," Layla shouted.
"Yeah, please, Sky," Yumeko added, pleading.
"Yumeko, Layla, Fire General Kai, I'm sorry. I won't lose. I will never let him win," Sky declared as he calmed down, thinking of Yumeko hugging him. The blue grew, and the red faded.
"You are an idiot. Fine, if I can't have them, I will destroy the world and everything. Mark my words, Sky," Red Sky shouted as he faded back into Sky's mind and disappeared.
"Thank god that's over," Layla sighed in relief.
"Yumeko, are you okay?" Sky asked, his eyes filled with concern.
"Yes," Yumeko nodded.
"Layla, you too?" Sky asked.
"Yeah, I'm good," Layla said, smiling.
"Shit, I'm sorry," Sky apologized, ashamed.
"Sky, it's not your fault. You saved us from the Aqouran," Layla assured.
"She is right, Sky. Thank you for saving us," Yumeko agreed, embracing him.
"Yeah, thanks, Sky," Layla said, following suit and hugging him.
"This is just a sisterly way, so don't get any ideas," Layla said.
"Okay, I understand," Sky said.
"Now we need to wake this guy up," Fire General Kai said, pointing at the still unconscious Aqouran.
"Wait, what the hell," Nagisa said as he woke up. "Argh!" He screamed, his body still in pain from the burns.
"So I won, and now you are going to take us to Suijin," Sky demanded.
"Yes, Aerithans," Nagisa said, his voice filled with hate and a tinge of fear.
"Good, now we have no problems," Fire General Kai said.
"You bastard, how dare you," Nagisa growled.
"Should I let Red Sky out?" Sky fake threatened. He would never release the monster, but he was using Red Sky to scare the Aquoran.
"No, please, not him," Nagisa said, terrified.
"Good, then I won't bring him out, but if you don't take us to your king, I will," Sky threatened.
"Yes, sir," Nagisa said, defeated.
"Then take us there, and remember, don't try anything," Fire General Kai said.
"Fine," Nagisa agreed, leading them.
