(Isabelle's POV)

Me and Tyler got our guard up. Growth smiled at us. He disappeared appeared from our line of sight. I immediately stopped time for everything, except for Tyler.

Tyler: Crap. Where did he go?

I looked around and saw looked behind me, seeing Growth right behind me and Tyler.

Isabelle: Behind us.

Tyler jumped back and so did I. I resumed time again. Tyler used his Power on the rubble in the road, giving it a purple aura, and surrounded it around Growth.

Tyler: Time to crush you.

I saw sparks coming out of the rubble. The rubble blasted off. Growth smirked and brushed some pebbles off his shoulder. Growth appeared right in front of me and punched my stomach.

Isabelle: Guh!

I rewinded time a couple seconds, making Growth go back to brushing some pebbles off his shoulder. I put out a knife from me jacket and got in front of Growth. I slashed at him, but his body faded away. I felt a kick to my side, sending me into a building.

Isabelle: Ow, what the hell happened?

Tyler appeared next to me and grabbed my arm. He teleported up to on top of a nearby building.

Tyler: Growth was way smarter than I thought. I saw it. He moved so fast that he left some kind of after image. I assume you went back in time?

Isabelle: Yeah, I did.

Tyler: Damn. He read you like a book. He's playing a lot of defensive options and we don't even realize it.

Growth: Yes, I see. What do you think we should do about that?

I heard his voice behind me. Before me or Tyler could do anything, Growth punched the both of us in the stomach. The force of the attack sent us back and we crashed into another building. I saw Growth jump towards us.

Tyler: Got you.

Tyler snapped his finger, making a purple aura surrounded Growth, keeping him in place. I took the knife in my hand and made several from different points in time appear in the air. I launched the knifes at Growth. They all stabbed into Growth, making blood spill out of his wounds.

Isabelle: Finally, we got a good hit.

Growth: And that will be your last.

More energy started to come off Growth's body as the purple aura shattered and the knifes leaving his body. Growth quickly flew over to me and Tyler and grabbed us by the necks. Growth threw me down to the ground, making a huge crater in the road. Growth threw Tyler up, making him fly to the sky and with the speed he's going he'll go into space.

Isabelle: This is going to suck.

I started to focus as I quickly made it from daytime to nighttime. I looked up and saw the moon. A purple aura surrounded it and part of it broke off, making a bunch of chunks.

Isabelle: ...At least he landed on the moon.

The chunks of the moon started to fall down towards the city. Growth smiled and brought his hand up. A huge blast of green energy came from his hand and destroyed all the falling pieces of moon. I stood up and saw Tyler appear next to me. I saw him holding a small star in his hand.

Tyler: Now that he's busy with that, you mind using your Power to duplicate this?

I sighed.

Isabelle: Please stop relying on me to do things for you.

Tyler brought me and him up into the air as I used my Power on the star, making the air around us filled with them and lighting the area around us. Growth stopped his blast and looked back, seeing the uncountable amount of stars around me and Tyler.

Tyler: What should we call this attack? Spacial Time Stars?

Isabelle: Call it the we should take down Growth now!

Tyler: That doesn't roll off the tongue well!

Tyler sent all the stars at Growth. He smiled and made a protective bubble around him. I snapped my fingers and got rid of the bubble, making all the stars crash into Growth. A bunch of smoke covered the area. Me and Tyler got ready for anything. The smoke cleared away and I can see Growth on his knees.

Tyler: Yeah, I figured that would work-

Isabelle: Shut it for two seconds. We need to be careful.

I stopped time and I took a closer look at Growth. I can see a smirk on his face.

Growth: I am starting to grow past time itself.

I heard him speak. I took a step back. I made time move again.

Isabelle: Tyler! We need to kill Growth now!

Tyler: Uh, right!

Tyler made me, him, and Growth go into his extra dimension. Tyler made several clones of himself and sent them at Growth. Growth dodged the attacks from the clones and hit them back. Tyler got on his knees and got rid of his clones.

Tyler: That hurt a lot.

I spun my knife around and it started to get filled with yellow energy. I remember doing this attack on (Y/N) all the way back at the tournament. This is the best shot I have to taking Growth down.

Isabelle: Tyler! Keep Growth still!

Tyler: Got it!

I filled my knife with all the energy of my attacks from the past, present, and future. A purple aura surrounded Growth again, but he shattered it.

Growth: Such a trick won't work on me twice.

Tyler: Good, that's what I was planning.

Four Tyler's appeared next to Growth. Two where holding his arms and the other two were holding his legs.

Growth: Get off of me!

Tylers: Now Isabelle!

I dashed forward at Growth. I brought my knife back and got ready to slash it. Right when I was in front of Growth, I slashed at him. Growth started to scream in pain as I started to take several deep breaths. Tyler grabbed my shoulder and made us leave his extra dimension and back at the city.

Tyler: Now let's see how he likes being inside of a crushing dimension!

Tyler put his hands out and a small colorful orb formed in his hands. He crushed the orb in his hands. I sat down on the ground. That attack I did took a lot out of me.

Tyler: I hope that did it.

I heard something start to crack. I looked ahead and started to see the air crack. A huge green blast came out of the crack, catching me and Tyler off guard. We both started to scream in pain. The blast eventually stopped. I fell down to the ground, every part of my body in pain as the buildings around me were destroyed. I looked up and saw Growth and Ashley walking towards me.

Growth: It's a shame. I did like you. I was going to let you be a part of the new world I shall make, but clearly you aren't worthy of that honor.

He pointed his hand at me. Crap, this was the future that Timer trained me to prevent. I failed. I'm going to die here. A green energy ball formed in Growth's hand as he shot it at me. I closed my eyes, waiting for my fate. I'm sorry (Y/N).

Growth: ...Who are you?

I opened my eyes and saw Timer holding the ball back.

Isabelle: T-Timer?

Timer: Damn, you really a strong one!

Growth: You didn't answer my question. I would like it if you did.

Timer: This attack is really strong... Isabelle, I want you to listen to me.

Timer looked back at me. He stared at me with his left eye, the only eye he has.

Timer: I know you didn't have the best life. Being born with such a strong Power like Time Control definitely put a lot of stress on you, definitely way more than a kid should go through. I know your life was hard and it's still going to be hard, but you have friends now to help you. You got something I never had and you better treasure it. I won't let a descendant of mine have something like that and die like this.

Growth started to push the green ball of energy more, making Timer groan in pain and he started to lose his footing.

Timer: You don't deserve to die here, even if some people think you do. Don't make your friends worry.

Isabelle: But it's impossible. Growth is someone no one can surpass. I can't even see into the future anymore because he's blocking that information from me.

Timer: I can't see the future anymore either, but you shouldn't be scared about that. Life is a book and you shouldn't skip to the end. And if that book isn't written yet, then take the pen and right it yourself!

I get my heart stop for a moment as Timer gave me a genuine smile. The green ball started to destroy his body slowly.

Timer: I'm taking this attack and myself to a point in time where it won't hurt anyone. Make sure to keep living Isabelle and don't be afraid of someone like Growth.

Timer and Growth's attack disappeared. Even if I can't see him anymore, I can just feel it that Timer was killed by that attack. I looked down at ground next to me and saw his knife laying on the ground. I picked it up and slowly stood up.

Isabelle: You're right Timer. I have people that I hold dear to me now and it would be a horrible thing to lose them today. I'm going to keep living, not just for me, but for them too.

I felt a surge of power fill my body. My blonde hair started to glow as eyes started to glow pure white. Growth took a step back.

Growth: Daughter, get out of here.

Ashley: But what about-

Growth: I said get out of here now!

Ashley: Y-Yes father.

Ashley started to run away. I looked at Growth.

Growth: Your Power... It Leveled Up.

I looked to my right and saw Tyler laying on a destroyed building. I raised my hand at him.

Isabelle: Get up, we are not done fighting yet.

His purple hair started to glow as well as his eyes started to glow pure white too. He got up and cracked his neck.

Isabelle: Since my Power Leveled Up, I figured that Tyler should also be given the same treatment.

Tyler flew over to me.

Tyler: I'm not sure what really happened, but I'm not complaining about it in the slightest.

Isabelle: I'll tell you what happened... Growth gave us the push we needed.
