CHAPTER 09

GREEN LEMON

"IF I win our fight, I will get all your power."

That's Finn and I's deal. He agreed to what I wanted, but in return, he will get all my power when he defeated me or killed me. Sinang-ayunan ko naman kung ano ang gusto niya dahil buo na ang aking desisyon. I am ready for whatever happens to me now.

"Why don't you use your power?" he blurted out while slashing his sword towards me, but I always avoided it.

Kanina pa kami naglalaban, at iwas lang ako nang iwas sa bawat atake niya. Pero madalas ay natatamaan niya ako. And I can not deny that the power he has is strong, yet I still can not identify what power he has.

I smirked. "I learned that not all powers are unlimited, even if you're God or Goddess. If they're used incorrectly, they can be diffused," I said while avoiding his attacks.

"Well, that's right, it will be vanish if we overused it, and if we do, we would be powerless or worst, we will die," he agreed with what I said. "But as if that is the cause of your death today. In fact, I can kill you at any time, but I still want us to play, I hope you do not get tired!" kumpiyansang sabi nito sa akin, kaya umirap ako.

"Sa totoo lang, pagod na ako, p'wede bang tapusin mo na agad?" biro ko habang patuloy pa rin sa pag-iwas sa mga atake niya.

Hindi pa ako gumagamit ng kahit ano'ng kapangyarihan sa kaniya because I don't want to. I don't want to waste any more power, I know where this fight is going. Just like him, I want to play or entertain myself first. But the thing I noticed to him was that he and Yazenth looked alike. Para silang magkapatid o kambal. I can see in him the Yazenth jerk side though I have never been with him before. I wonder if they are the same. I just hope not. But as if I care, especially now that my plan is complete.

Also, I noticed that someone seemed to be watching us. Actually, not just one, they are many. It seems they are all invisible in our eyes, but we, Finn are visible to their eyes.

Until I suddenly groaned in pain when I felt something sharp sink into my side. I stopped and looked at Finn who was grinning.

The audacity of this man to insult me with his grin. Damn you!

And when he pulled out his sword, I shouted in pain. So I immediately touched my side and felt the rapid flow of sticky blood from there.

Napangiwi ako, pero kulang pa ito. Wala nang mas masakit pa na makitang pinapatay ang mga magulang ko sa harapan ko. Kaya wala lang itong sugat na ito.

"Dagdagan pa natin," I said so he didn't hesitate to slash his sword on my body.

Napaluhod ako sa ginawa niya at tiningnan ang malaking sugat sa aking katawan. Naliligo na ang ako sa sarili kong mga dugo. But instead of worrying, a smile flashed on my lips, at the same time the blood flow in my mouth.

Suddenly, I heard a loud sharp sound that made me flinch. It was Harmony's voice. And in a couple of seconds, a huge amount of energy came rushing inside my body. Nagwawala na ang mga enerhiya sa loob ng katawan ko. Gusto nilang kumawala, pero pinipigilan ko.

THIRD PERSON

"NASA'N ka na ba kasi, Green?" asked Scarlet in frustration. Kanina pa nila hinahanap si Green but she's nowhere to be found. Hindi nila alam kung saan siya pumunta.

"Hindi ko mapasok ang isip niya, malayo siya kaya hindi ito maabot ng kapangyarihan ko," ani naman ni Celeste. Kanina pa sila paikot-ikot sa buong academy.

Hanggang sa mapansin nilang nag-uunahan sa pagtakbo ang ilan sa mga kapwa nila estudyante. Lahat sila ay iisa ang direksyong pinupuntahan, sa training field.

"What's happening?" Starlet asked. She approached Scarlet and held her left hand.

"There are people fighting there, their power is strong, I can feel it," said Celeste while closing her eyes. Pinakiramdaman niya nang maigi ang paligid. Kanina pa kasi niya nararamdaman iyon pero isinawalang bahala niya ito dahil nag-te-training silang lahat at normal lang na makaramdam siya ng gano'n. But this quite different.

"Tingnan kaya natin?" suhest'yon ni Scarlet, but Celeste just shook her head.

Until Virgo and Harmony arrive in a hurry.

"I-In the training field!" Harmony announced as she gasped for breath.

"What's happening?" Celeste asked curiously. She had a feeling Green was in the training field, but he did not want to believe it.

"Green and Finn are fighting!" he answered immediately.

"WHAT?" she asked in shock.

They are shocked to hear those words from Harmony. The fear immediately rose to their bodies, so they immediately ran to the training field. But before they could get away, Leaves and Jasmine suddenly blocked their path. They are also accompanied by another woman, Gemini, the Goddess of Wind. At lahat sila ay matalim na tiningnan sila Celeste habang nakangisi.

"Where are you going?" Jasmine asked.

Harmony mentally cursed. Ayaw niya sa lahat ay ang hinaharangan siya ng daraanan kapag nagmamadali siya.

"Go ahead, Harmony! Join Scar and Star!" said Celeste as she prepared herself for the battle.

"Kami na ang bahala ni Celeste rito, kaya umalis na kayo!" Virgo agress.

Harmony nodded. "Be careful, thank you!" he said.

"P-Pero, tatlo sila, magpapaiwan ako," Scarlet said in formality. Though she's so scared, she still can not imagine that Celeste and Virgo will be left to fight the three of those she knows are powerful.

"Scar—" Hindi naituloy ni Celeste ang sasabihin niya nang nagsimula nang umatake sina Leaves. Isang malaking bola ng apoy ang pabulusok sa kanila na agad ding naglaho dahil sa tubig na pinakawalan ni Virgo.

"Umalis na kayo!" malakas na sigaw ni Scarlet kina Harmony, at dali-dali na nga silang tumakbo paalis.

***

"AAAH!" Harmony shouts loudly as he destroys the battlefield defense where Finn and Green fight inside.

Kanina pa nila ito sinisira gamit ang mga kapangyarihan nila ni Starlet pero parang walang nangyayari. Hindi ito basta-basta nasisira gamit lamang ng kapangyarihan dahil sinadya itong gawin para maging proteksyon ng mga nanonood sa laban.

No one dares to help them in what they are doing because everyone is busy watching the fight, where Green is already kneeling with Finn while bathing in her own blood. But what everyone wondering is why she is not resisting and just let Finn hurt her.

Until a very strong lightning struck the shield causing it to break. Everyone was shocked by what happened, even Finn and Green stopped fighting. And just a few moments later, Yazenth appeared between the two of them when Finn was about to bury his sword in Green's body again.

Afterwards, a large ball of lightning immediately formed in Yazenth's palms and threw it at Finn without hesitation. He doesn't care if Finn was his twins.

Malakas na tumilapon si Finn na dahilan ng pagkakabuo ng isang malaking butas sa lupa. Naghiyawan ang lahat sa napanood, ngunit may iba ring nagalit at nag-alala sa nangyari. They did not expect this from Yazenth because everyone knew he was Finn's twin. But there were also some who liked what he did, especially those who did not like Finn.

When he finished what he did, he hurriedly joined Green, who was already catching his breath. And just a moment later Starlet was in front of them crying over what happened to her friend. While Harmony went to Finn to punish what he did to Green. Nang bigla na lamang tinangay ng hangin ang katawan ni Finn na parang abo na ikinagulat ni Harmony.

"Illusion?" he asked in confusion while watching Finn's gradual disappearance.

"Yes, you're right! So, I won?" kumpiyansang sabi ni Finn nang lumabas ito sa isang dimension gate na ginawa niya para pagtaguhan.

Nagngitngit sa galit si Harmony. Ikinuyom niya nang mariin ang dalawa njyang palad bago sinuntok ng malakas sa pisngi si Finn. He wants revenge. He wants to pay for what he did to his friend whom he now loves.

"G-Green?" when he suddenly heard Scarlet scream in fear.

Out of curiosity he approached it and witnessed how Green gradually disappeared from Yazenth's hands.

"Illusion!" said Yazenth while thinking what was really happened.

Hanggang sa marinig nila ang boses ni Finn na galit na galit. Hindi niya inaasahan ang nasaksihan. Hindi siya makapaniwala.

"H-How did she do that?" he asked himself while thinking about what Green had done and how she noticed his plan.

"It's because I know what I'm doing?" Green suddenly appeared in front of them all. He had no wounds and no blood on his body. She is fine.

"But how did you do that? How did you know?" Finn asked in confusion. He's so confused how Green found out his plan. This is the first time happened to him. And it became a big puzzle to him of how all that happened.

Green smirked. "It is because illusion doesn't have spirit? And I also noticed that you don't have a shadow. So I assumed you did something secretly that I didn't noticed immediately. Also, you did not win, and you will never fool me with the illusions you make! After all, I'm a Spirit Goddess," she confidently said as she walked out sa battle field.
