16Disclimer: I own nothing accept from my OCs
I imagined death so much
It feels like a memory,
Is this where it gets me?
On my feet
Several feet head ahead of me?
I see it coming, do I run
Or fire my gun
Or let it be?
There is no beat, no melody
My enemy
May be the last face I ever see
If I throw away my shot,
Is this how you remember me?
What if this bullet is my legacy?
A legacy!
What is a legacy?- Hamilton
Sophie and Lok were sitting on the ground, watching Dante fight the Betrayer.
"Sophie, we need the prophecies of Nostradamus! The real ones!" said Lok, turning to Sophie. She nodded, and put her arms forward before calling out for Cypherdex. However, the device barely materialized in her hands, when a red glowing ball came between her and Lok's heads. They both turned around to see Shauna standing there on the top of some hill.
"I won't let you foil our plans again!" declared the woman angrily, preparing for another strike. Sophie acted quick, upon an instinct really, calling out for Honourguard. She then turned to Lok and placed her Cypherdex on his lap.
"Look for the prophecies" she said, before turning back to Shauna "I'll take care of her"
"Sophie, no!" he protested hotly "you can't!"
"I have to!" she answered "she'll be blasting away at us all the time, she won't give up until I stop her!"
"But-" he started again
"I'll be back, don't worry" she said, sending him a smile "I can handle her for a few minutes, I can't beat her, but I can hold her off.
Lok opened his mouth again to protest, but she quickly shut him up with a kiss. He started at her for a while, wide eyed and opened mouthed. She let out a short giggle at his expression, before bending down again.
"I'll be fine" she whispered, before activating Hyperstride, and flying towards Shauna. They tumbled down the side of the cliff, only pausing at the bottom. Shauna, quickly freed herself from Sophie's grasp.
"You won't stop the Betrayer!" she shouted
"We'll see about that, now fight me!" answered Sophie with dignity, pulling out Kelpie's amulet she summoned the titan. The older woman had no reaction to it- and if she did react she hid it well- opting instead of summoning Ash. The titans clashed together, as did their mistresses. Again. In retail Sophie threw a doubled Kindlestrike. Shauna didn't dodge it though, opting for a Hexkill as an counter-attack. The red spell, eradicated the blue one, with a bright burst. Sophie covered her eyes from the light. It wasn't long when she had to be on the move again, as Shauna attacked her, forcing her to avoid a Nullcurse by twisting away. She flew through the air, stopping herself with her feet and hand; raising dust. She panted heavily... In that very moment, as if to beat her down even further she Ash has defeated Kelpie, sending the horse back to it's amulet. She gasped, falling to one knee and supporting herself with her hand. This was too much...She glanced around. It didn't look very well. The combined forces of the Foundation and Casterwills were trying their best but it was not good enough!
"See Casterwill?" asked Shauna , walking up to her slowly "this is the end. You might have delayed your destiny, but you cannot escape it"
Sophie gritted her teeth, memories of past few months flashing before her eyes. This couldn't end like this! She was a Casterwill, a leader on top of that! She has found her family and battled their opposition and distrust. She has won them over!
Today you gave me something to believe in again the words of Focauld, her harshest critic echoed in her mind together with images from Ironwill. She remembered Nimue's sacrifice...and all that would be for nothing! NO! This could not end up like this!
'This won't end here' she said to herself, she knew what she has to do. She didn't know how it would end, but it was her shot. She remembered what Nimue has said A life of a Casterwill must sometimes be given for what is good and true. She clenched her fists and concentrated on her energy, looking for it in the deepest corner of her heart.
"SOULBURN!" she called loudly. As she shouted she felt the familiar jolt of energy run through her. It felt like an electric shock and she let out a small yelp. She got up to her feet "NEW LIFE! JOIN ME SABRIEL! SORCERELL!" she cried, and the two sisters appeared by her side. She singled at them to attack and threw herself at Shauna, using a doubled Raypulse. Shauna blocked it in the last moment, but Sophie wasn't ready to give up just yet. She attacked again, avoiding a Darkwave thrown at her. She tackled Shauna to the ground, grabbing the woman and twisting her arm, before restraining her the same way Shauna has done in the volcano.
"This is not over" she hissed into the woman's ear. Shauna at first seemed to be a little upset, but then smirked; her body started to glow and she disappeared in a mix if bright light and smoke. Sophie stumbled back a little stunned; her vision pulsing with white dots. She blinked few times, trying to get rid of the disturbance when suddenly something powerful hit her in the side, sending her to the ground. She rolled across the harsh ground, creating a deep trench. A yelp of pain escaped her lips, as she felt skin being torn from her arms and shoulders. She stopped only when she hit the boulder of nearby cliff. She hissed in pain, trying to scramble up when something hit her back. She let out a loud gasp; almost yell of agony, falling to her knees. She felt a rush of air, and familiar energy of Sorcerell, as the titaness came to save her.
"Hopeshatter!"
Her eyes winded and she cried out again when her friend returned to the amulet, burning out more of her energy. A bead of sweat run down her forehead. She heard a loud laugh; she looked up and saw Shauna approach her; few feet away stood Wind, ready to strike anyone who would have dared to attack the woman. Shauna stopped before Sophie, bending down a bit.
"This ends here" she said before stepping back again; her hands shone with a red glow. Sophie gasped trying to get away, but she was too weak and sore to move. She could only watch the crimson ray shoots out of her enemy's hands and speeds towards her. She closed her eyes, both out of fear and the bright light. In the split of a second before the spell hit her, she saw her whole life flashing before her eyes. Lucas helping her up, fire consuming her house and Santiago carrying her out, her meeting with Lok, when the boy had solved her crossword. Running from the suits with him, first time meeting Dante and their mission in Prague, Lok holding her in catacombs, fighting Zhalia, Lok declaring his love, battling the Professor, losing Sabriel, meeting Lok's father, finding Nimue and Avalon and Lok saving her with Willblade, discovering the rest of her family, the Trail of Courage, Ironwill, her putting her relationship with Lok on hold...a small tear fell down her cheek at the thought. She really won't be able to get back together with him as she'd planned! And then the curse hit her, full force. She let out a yell of pain, as it burned her skin, sending her flying. She hit the ground hard, and for a while everything went still and quiet. She laid there, breathing heavily. She was barely conscious. And then it happened, the sweep of pure, good energy like a summer breeze. She smiled a little, she could feel the warm rays of sun on her face, and see it;s radiant white light, under her eyelids. She drew one last shaky breath, before everything went dark again. This time permanently.
Uff. This is the chapter. I hope it's good enough. I based it off Pyrrha's death in RWBY(so if you blame anyone blame CRWBY). Anyhow as to where Sophie had fallen, so she could see everything. The area around the Mark is pretty flat, so I guess she would see some people in the distance, and she would defiantly see spells and missing scramjets.
