"That's exactly what I'm doing, dummy," Eliyahu replied with an added insult.
"You just love insulting me when I'm the one angry at you."
"And your miserable life is my fault because?"
"Because you're my fucking twin who was off in a different dimension while I was suffering like an orphaned puppy!"
"Uh-huh, and when you were left in a coma for two damn years, who came to change your diapers when the nurses abandoned you until your crush came along to save you after the hospital realized her net worth and that she had a connection with you? Who was it? Oh right, my ass!"
"Don't act like you weren't shit-talking abo-"
"Boys," I groaned. "As much as we'd love to figure out how the hell there's two of you and all the history of your up and down brotherhood, can we focus on not dying again?"
"Right," they replied before Eliyahu returned his attention to Jax. "Alright. You can use your flame. Just be careful not to make the heat too hot."
"You need to move your hands or it's going to burn you."
"I can't or the ice will melt just as fast."
"Eliyahu," Elijah warned in worry but Eliyahu rolled his eyes. "Listen. I'm a fucking agent. I've dealt through worse than a few burns. We can't waste any more time. Heal your boyfriend's eyes up or he's going to be blind and useless in this final showdown!"
Jax bit his lip but directed the flames to the source. Eliyahu hissed in pain, and I could feel the way his emotions spiked as his dark aura rose in defence.
Elijah and I moved further out of the way, as did Finnick and Kaito. Even Jax took a hesitant few steps back at the intense growth of Eliyahu's dark aura, but he seemed to keep his energy from oozing out into a physical weapon.
When Eliyahu cued him to finish up, Jax retracted the flames. They danced around him and extinguished. Eliyahu moved back then and took a moment to put his hands on his knees to catch his breath.
Connor opened his eyes and took a few breaths as emotions of relief washed over him. "Fuck. I can see you."
"Good," Eliyahu breathed. "Ten seconds later and you'd be a blind fucker."
"How do you know that?" Jax asked before he approached Eliyahu. Reaching where he stood, he crouched down and quickly sparked a flame to help heal his burned hands.
Eliyahu waited until he was done to reply. "Experience makes you wiser," he replied and inspected his hands. "Thanks."
Jax nodded and came over to help me stand up. I still felt a little winded, but not on the verge of passing out, like I had in past experiences.
"What's the plan for us to not die?" I decided to ask, and we looked at Connor, who cut to the chase.
"We need Fuwa," Connor began. "The girl must be waiting for Brianne to walk to the girl's changing room to change. Instead, we're going straight to the stadium with Fuwa's assistance. We have to get everyone out of the stadium as quickly as possible."
Fuwa poofed into existence as he landed on my shoulder, and within another blink, he was in his chibi form as he landed on my shoulder once more.
"What's going on?"
"Fuwa, we need you to teleport us to the stadium. The moment we reach there, we have to teleport as many people out of the stadium as possible," I explained swiftly.
He noticed my seriousness before his body glowed and we were already being teleported to the entrance of the stadium field.
"Brianne? Jax, what the… Elijah?" We turned our heads to see Professor Phoenix, Master ZenSu, and Sebastian right at the entrance.
"We have an emergency!" Connor announced. "There's about to be a huge incident that will destroy the entire stadium!"
That had their attention as Professor Phoenix summoned her wand.
"The girl whose hair Elsa burned! She's involved."
"Enova?" Professor Phoenix questioned.
"You mean the girl heading towards us?" Finnick's question got our attention as we turned our gazes to the opposite side of the field. The girl stood at the entrance, and her eyes landed our group.
"Aurora!" I called Professor Phoenix with urgency. "She's the fake Elijah! She has a cobra familiar beneath the field and is about to cause an earthquake to trap everyone here!"
Enova somehow overheard my statement, because we noticed the sudden spike of her energy as the clear skies above suddenly began to cloud.
Professor Phoenix cursed as we watched her body begin to glow. "Sebastian! Remove as many as you can! Master ZenSu. It's time to kill a snake!"
"Yes, Aurora," Sebastian responded before he clapped his hands, which triggered a magical reaction as magic circles of blue and gold began to appear all over the walls of the stadium. The chatty space suddenly burst with screams of shock and wonder, but our attention was on Enova as she began to run our way.
"FOR THE SHADOW KINGDOM!" she screamed with a manic smile as she tore at her uniformed top to reveal a black object that was strapped to her body.
The way I gasped was nothing like Kaito's scream. It was as if he saw what was about to happen. "B-Bomb. The bomb is made of the same materials as the bullets from the attack in Switzerland."
"We have to stop her!" Elijah and Eliyahu declared and began to race forward, but I caught Kaito's whisper.
"We've lost."
"MEWMEW!"
My eyes widened at the sound before I locked onto Elsa, who was charging towards Enova. My heart literally stopped as my magic shot into overdrive - the idea of Elsa taking a direct hit-making my entire body prickle with fear.
"ELSA!" I screamed and rushed forward.
"Brianne!" Jax tried to stop me, but his hand missed its chance at catching me as my body suddenly buzzed into a jolting force that had me crashing into Enova a second later.
We went flying from the impact, my body in the air like hers as I shoved above her... Elsa crashed into my chest - just as my eyes noticed the glimmering smile from the girl as she tugged on a ring that was connected to her chest.
"You lose, bitch," she whispered with a wild smile.
My arms immediately wrapped around Elsa just as I realized there was no way out of this.
It...can't end!
I shut my eyes and waited for the heated blast, but my body froze mid-air, just as my chest began to burn until I was hissing and trying to reach for whatever was burning me.
"Hot, hot, ow!" I quickly reached into my blazer pocket and tossed the burning object in the air. My eyes widened at the sight as I realized the burning object was a glowing card that remained floating in the air.
"What?" I stared in confusion. Elsa began to purr as her body grew hot. "Elsa?"
She pushed away from my chest to drop to the floor and stand right below the floating card. I was pulled forward until I was two feet away from the card, my body in a standing position as I was parallel to the card.
Glancing down at Elsa, I watched as her body was engulfed in magic, and my eyes widened as the bright light revealed a little girl. She had bright orange hair with golden strands, and her left eye was pink while the other was gold.
She wore a simple white dress and was barefoot, but her arms raised up to the card like she was praising it before she called out, "Star! I need help!"
