Chapter 21 so-Lucas-like

Liliana Roslyn's POV.

Before anymore movement could occur, a voice yells.

"Stop!"

*****

Felt it ring abruptly through my ears. I look beside me into the near distance. Its Lucas.

A really angry, and dangerous-looking Lucas. His eyes glowing flashlight blue with dark rings on his lens.

Strange!

The streams of electricity on his body is fully black.

Strange!

His hair is flying in the hair like he's in front of an electric fan.

Strange!

His veins are flexing extra-muscularly.

Strange!

In all. Looks like his powers are on the horizon. Dangerously on the horizon. The mid-air scene die down immediately, all commanders on ground are on action. All slaves and emits are running out, being guarded by the securities. Guards are entering in with their powers prepared for threat. All is in chaos.

Lucas bends water from below, splitting the ground in the process, and slash it on the two idiots, fighting on air and quarreling over who knows. The both hit the wall and fall onto the ground, but quickly as inhumanly possible get back onto their feet. The room is emptied of humans now, the shouting have died down, except for the crazy me, who is still in the room but sharp enough to hide myself behind the scattered tables.

I'm watching the most interesting and most intense show which is the fun part. The not-very-fun part is that my heart is literally hammering in my chest. It almost could fall out and..  Thud! Thud! Thud!

The commanders are standing actively along with their king, who's trying to walk closer to Lucas. Again, Lucas bends water from the ground, ready to attack any incoming but the look on his face says different. He's not doing this gladly. He's been forced and he's straining pretty hard to overcome what's overcame him.

"Lucas, what are you doing? You don't need to hurt anyone. You are a nice person..." King Adrian pause for a very short moment. "... Is it the rage again? Is the dark powers still flowing inside you? We can help Lucas. Please."

Lucas heavy breathing reaches my ears and his sweat is veiled. He's so drained in his sweat yet his hair is still flying in the air. "I'm not doing this, Adrian. I can't control it. Its someone else taking over me."

"Its the dark powers of the harlow's. Soon enough, his body wouldn't be his anymore and that's when he'd start killing." Commander Oliver says, rushing.

"The blood lust." Commander Felix adds.

"Can he be saved?" King Adrian ask.

"I.. I don't know. I haven't cured one before. Maybe you should heal him..."

"Like you did before." Commander Lorenzo says and hastily add. "Share the image of Ned (the doctor, Lorenzo once called to heal Lucas after he was attacked) with Ramon, he can bring him here faster than any of us. He's the only earth benders. Probably, he can find a cure for Lucas while we try to keep him caged in the meantime."

King Adrian is an earth bender too, he could bend all the four element as far as I know. Why can't he call the doctor instead? He's the king. His earth powers should be faster than Ramon. Maybe its because he needed to stay close to Lucas to help hold him off. Why this stupid thought, in a situation like this?

King Adrian is in front of commander Ramon in seconds. He touches his head and a stream of energies passes from king Adrian to his body. In seconds they are over and Ramon nods and closes his eyes, amber electric surge stream from his body and he hits his full of streams of electric surge left leg onto the ground. He got swallowed by the ground in return and my attention is quickly placed on king Adrian when he whine in pain.

"He wouldn't let me into his head?" King Adrian says.

"That is what my affected men does too." Commander Oliver says, still taking his active stand, some guards stand behind him in defense. There, I notice Mr meany and his sidekick presence too beside king Adrian. They are really fierce with that action-face of theirs. Oh, man! That's what they're fucking created for. I should have known. No wonder they are bored cock and hen.

"Et videtur satis est scire circa nos multum, ne studiosissimus, Oliverius?"(You seem to know quite a lot about us, don't you, Oliver?) A many-voiced tone calls my attention. Its from not-so Lucas-like.

"Lucas, listen to me. You have to fight them." King Adrian says.

"Ah, no! It's a lost cause for him to fight us. We are his controllers now. We bend his body." Lucas says.

"You control nothing. No matter where you're hiding now using Lucas as a transmitter, I shall find you and destroy you all! Timidi homines!  (cowards!)" King Adrian yells.

"You shall do no such thing." Lucas snicker hysterically. "Meet your doom!"

The earth breaks more and split, swallowing and destroying the dining table along with the chairs as it's moving so fastly towards king Adrian and the other benders. Quickly, he moved into action. In less than a second, his eyes glow their wonderful bright light of hazel with white flecks unlike Lucas. King Adrian bangs his leg against the ground and straighten his hands, flattening them muscularly and push them upward above his forehead. The earth moves up again and start to rejoin. He's reversing Lucas' action with the help of the other earth bender guards.

Commander Felix is next to show his contribution, runs speedily and flips-over thrice. His legs as soon as they are meeting the ground, they turn over to his hands flashily. When he's centimeters away from reaching Lucas, he flips toward his legs and when he stands, letting his feet collide with the broken floor. His hands that move forward at that second brings out a hefty whirlwind of air which moves quickly towards Lucas.

Just in time, Lucas head snap towards that direction and bends water from the still-closing ground and bends it into a mat-shaped liquid figure that curves and swallow the whirlwind, then compresses it as it freeze into ice. Lucas eyes glow more at this reaction. Commander Felix is flying mid-air since the ground he's moved on currently has been demolish. The iced figure shakes, rumbling and splitting into fragments. Then it melts and turns into moist air, filling up every space there is in this room.

"Ah.. A fearless human girl. So naive." Lucas many-voiced tone says, cutting his eyes towards my direction when the moist air reaches where I'm hiding. Shit, my bad!

I see king Adrian moves his head to his side. He didn't look at me though but I know he had a glance of me.

"Step back, all of you. If anyone should fight Lucas till the doctor comes then it's me. No one knows Lucas better than me." King Adrian says as soon as the ground fixes again and Lucas smirk.

As commanded, the commanders move back along with the guards.

This is going to end badly!

Lucas fly on top of a bent and curvy unfreeze water and move to near the windows. His hands rotate in the most powerfully supernaturally way in curves and then stretch forth his hands to near the window.

"We are pleased to come here to entertain you all." Lucas many-voiced tone says, slightly bowing lethally as he drags his hands inwardly and strongly from the sky's direction that it is placed before.

"We shall not rest until we get what we want." His many-voiced tone says.

"He's calling the moon?! He can't even do that when he was normal!" Commander Felix shouts.

"They are amplifying his powers." King Adrian reply with his eyes glowing vigorously.

This is actually not happening? I wouldn't have cared if it wasn't for king Adrian and Lucas (or whatever he may be) wanting to fight. This are the only benders that has at least showed me a bit of kindness. Especially Lucas, considering the fact that king Adrian has the ability of controlling the four elements while Lucas has only one element to bend. Gosh! This is going to end uglily bad.

"Shall we start?" Lucas ask as the moon is up already. "This is just the start of Ares."

King Adrian's POV.

My mind's unsettled. I really don't know what to do but as the king, I've to put up some courage. Thanks and un-thanks to Liliana being around in the room, hiding but watching everything. In her mind, its all an ecstatic-splash-scary show. Ah, she's a strange girl.

From her, does my monster gains more strength to fight and from her, does my bivatar powers gains less strength to fight. I'm trying with the help of monster to make bivatar agree and not be an idiot this time around.

We need each other now. Talking about needing each other. Thanks to Lorenzo for talking me out of killing Ned. The doctor that helped save Lucas life and told me the ailment he had suffered from that time. Well luckily for us since I didn't kill him that time, just wipe off part of his memories which I might do again this time, he should be able to help us this time and put an end to this harlow's taking control of Lucas' body. Who knows where his soul is? Where the real him is?

Ramon has gone to find Ned. This is something I can't do. I can't split into earth and swim past it or touch the ground to track someone. But I can know where someone is, if only they are near and this techniques was learned from Ramon, years back when I saved his life during the war, mass. On that day, he promised to teach me that technique which took years to master and with the help of Lucas, who'll put the step by step movement of the technique into my brain when resting or sleeping. So I learned it both when in dreams and in real-life.

I can feel the intensity of Lucas powers. They are at maximum. His rage has filled him.

Yes! Rage!

That's what they're using against us. They are letting our anger rise to the horizon, so that we wouldn't know those that are getting hurt by it. Just in the time I need the real Lucas to give me advice, even in his fatal condition, he still manages to help me out.

"Ah.. A fearless human girl. So interesting." He says and that's when it all come to me. That is why I must fight him, well the harlow's in him. I can't get affected because my anger(Rage) has been subside by the help of Liliana.

Ana looks exactly like her and ever since I met Ana, my anger has been vanishing. The barbaric side that the unbalance gave me is subsiding. She was my weapon then, and she is now. With that... Monster, Bivatar, and my bender part move into action, we melt together becoming one as the unbalance wants.

Instantly, I command my commanders and guards to move backward. Alexandros is here. Never for once betrays the crown. I know he will fight Lucas for me if I tell him to, even as he wouldn't survive it. My commanders move backwards and I step forward after closing the ground with the help of some guards.

Lucas continue to talk but all I'm focused on is how to revive him which I shall be succeeded at. Then, his new skills calls my attention, he just fucking-ly moves the moon from obscurity of the heavy clouds. The rarest powers of them all, no one excepts mother has this skills and how she learned it? Its a long story. Can't finish saying it in a day?

He calls out the moon and you can see his veins poking out, squeezing themselves as his body shrink together. They are killing him!

"He's calling the moon?! He can't even do that when he was normal!" Felix shouts. He's just as amazed as me. As all of us.

"Yeah. They are amplifying his powers." I reply.

"Shall we start?" Lucas ask. The moon's up already. "This is just the start of Ares."

There's a reason why the harlow's in Lucas called the moon before the fight start. The moon has many relevance in benders life. Its a nature that can't be avoided for us. But for tonight, the only reason he resurrect the moon is because; it would help in increasing the powers of all benders. The moon he called is like a replica of the blood moon. The differences is just that the blood moon amplified powers ten folds than this moon, he's called.

The harlow's inside Lucas has a devilish plan for them to be using him. There must be a reason for them coming into this world. It must be something important. Something they can't avoid. Maybe it will help them in finally destroying all creatures, I don't know but one thing that's important now is how to save Lucas. I must fight them out of him.
