Chapter 3

Why does history have to repeat itself? We've been placed in the same situation as before. But now, she's hunting us, and she's only a ghost of her former self.

"Where there is light, there must be darkness. Where there is darkness, there is the void. Thus, you cannot escape"

"what do we do?" I asked Amy.

"Why are you asking me?"

"A - you're the smart one of us two, and B - because you're the only person nearby not trying to kill me"

"Fair point"

"Ok. I have a plan"

"What is it?"

"As far as we know, she can't take to the skies like we can"

"Are you suggesting that we fly off?"

"Yes I am. It's the only option to my knowledge"

"Oh crap I forgot I had this"

"Had What?"

"It's a cage trap I've been working on. The sides expand outwards and create a hard-light pyramid cage"

"Sounds like it could work. Toss it under her feet, then we'll take off"

"Ok. Three, two, one, go!"

And within a few seconds, sparks jumped out of my back, Amy's back sent out a large splash of water, and Evie became trapped.

Despite all that, we heard her say one thing. One phrase that would spell out doom for us.

"I break these bonds that do restrict me, and release my savage force that may be seen"

Her speech was faint from where we were, but the display was bright as hell. A purple light was emitted from her body. And with that, the cage shattered. She could roam the skies too.

"What was that?" Asked Amy.

"I don't... OH FUCK!"

"What? OH SHIT! HOW? HOW IS SHE FREE?"

"I don't know know but it looks as if she can fly after all"

"We're so fucked"

"No mierda Sherlock"

"What?"

"Oh forget it"

This was unlike any power we had ever seen. Evie was strong, fast, and her sheer presence made hairs stand on ends. This power was not natural. This was made. Manufactured. Built. Her wings were dark, chained, and had a sort of bone structure to them.

Nobody has ever heard of a void User before. They never existed. The real mystery is how she's alive with this power.

"How do we stop her?" I asked.

"Use your abilities. It's the only way"

"Ok. I'll try throwing some daggers at the back of her neck"

"Ok, great. That should stun her. I'll surround her head with water to make her unconscious"

I whizzed round behind Evie. She seemed too focused on avoiding Amy's water attacks to notice me. I focused my energy into forming some small lightning daggers. The benefits of using them are that they practically ignore air resistance, and stun the person on the receiving end of their attack.

I threw three in one attack. Two changed direction slightly. One in the back of the neck, one in each shoulder. Stunned, and arms disabled. She began to fall to the ground. The fall was going to kill her. I couldn't let her die. Not again.

"Don't just hold her head in water"

"What?"

"Catch her. We can't let her die. There's too much to learn from her"

"Ok, fine"

Amy summoned a large sphere of water to catch Evie with. She succeeded and made her unconscious.

"So where do we take her?" Amy asked.

"The lab. We can put her in a disruption cell"

"Good thinking"

"Alright. Let's go"

We entered the lab and opened a disruption cell. These cells cancel a User's abilities, rendering them powerless. I gave her a quick shock to wake her.

"Where am I? Why am I here?"

"Calm down. You're in our lab. Do you remember us?" I said, attempting to calm her fury.

"Yes. You are Charlie. And you are Amy"

"Good. What types are we?"

"You are lightning, Amy is water"

"I've got a question"

"Go ahead Amy"

"Where did your void powers come from?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know the answer to that"

"Damn. So close"

"Your green hoodie looks pretty torn"

"Yes. It has seen many battles won"

"Do you remember anything from your fire life?"

"I remember dying"

"Who killed you?"

"A neon type user"

"A what?"

"Neon type. Able to create neon weapons and use neon abilities"

"I've heard of them"

Well, Amy, why have you never mentioned that before?"

She just stood there and shrugged her shoulders.

"If you think I am the enemy, you are mistaken. I am being controlled, like a puppet on strings"

"We have much to learn from you yet"

"I look forward to sharing my knowledge, in hopes of regaining control of my life"

"Thanks for cooperating"

"It is my pleasure"

At that moment her eyes flashed purple, and she passed out while screaming.

"What happened?" Amy asked.

"I don't know. Is her power doing this to her?"

"It's possible. But it shouldn't be able to in that cell"

"Hang on"

"What?"

"What's that around her neck?"
