FAITH VS OBSIDIA

---Faith's Perspective---

I had no words.

There was nothing more important to me than ending Obsidia's life at the very moment I existed. The punch I threw before had scared her so much that it looked like she was finally using as much of her power as she could.

We ran at each other, with the first attack being from launched bone fragments in Sky's wrist. Instead of flipping my body to destroy the thousands of fragments coming at me, I raised my hand up, and pointed my two fingers down.

Ali Asterio's gravitational abilities shot out of my hand and forced everything down, while I used Boo's speed to warp behind Obsidia. She masterfully turned around with a bone and slashed straight through the center of my body...until she quickly realized that it was an illusion.

Spires of ice shot out of the ground and forced Obsidia into an inopportune position. From there, she slashed in a spherical range around herself and me.

A simple burst of the Leyndell Aura stopped her and caused her to wind up upside down and look at me. I threw an Iridescent Saber at her face and changed the course of its gravity multiple times, cutting her several times before she threw another attack and struck the floor with enough force to create a crater.

The fight was a display of power, and Obsidia was losing at the moment. There was nothing she had over me, thanks to Sky's use of his Incarnation.

Incarnation of Transfer transfers every last ounce of power and abilities from one person to another. However, there is a substantial chance that Sky also maintained his power. He locked the powers away within his own body because the surrender to Obsidia wasn't consensual. She couldn't access his capabilities, which was her first mistake.

Obsidia could only use my abilities because I had lost all hope and faith in myself that I could defeat her. Little did I know, so many people were behind me, and they all believed in me. I mistakenly gave up, and Sky...no...Dad chased me to the ends of the Earth to help me.

I absolutely had to defeat Obsidia and return his body to him.

"Don't get cocky now, Faith Asterio!" Obsidia screamed out.

Six arms grew out of her back, in addition to eleven tendrils, and all were simultaneously sent at me.

I held my hand close to my face again, with two fingers covering the bottom of my left eye.

[Singularity Incarnation]

[Incarnation of Kineticism]

At once, both Ali and Shike Asterio's Incarnations spiraled down the line of arms, damaging them with two-times the energy they struck me with, and exploding and randomly regenerating back into different shapes on her body.

I warped behind her once more with an Iridescent Saber pulled back. For the first time in our uneven battle, Obsidia and I held a clash with our respective weapons. An agonizing shriek emanated off of the Strand Saber, and our eyes honed in on each other.

"Show me your true power, you fucked up bitch!" Obsidia dug her heel into my chest and a hole appeared more than six inches in diameter. I quickly flipped backward with one arm, allowing her strikes to sever different parts of my body. My right arm and left leg were taken clean off, leaving her with a wide open opportunity to do serious damage.

[Incarnation of Aether]

I swapped places with Obsidia instantly and my foot connected with the right side of her jaw, striking her so potently that her eyes went white as her teeth shot out of her mouth like a grenade going off.

I picked her up by the throat and slammed her into the ground as hard as possible, chucking her into several more distant buildings throughout our current location.

She flew through several windows and I met her at the same pace, just as Obsidia once did to Sky and Sky did to her. I met her with the same speed at which I threw her, following through office buildings and residential homes.

Brick walls collapsed under the pressure of my muscles and the force of my several strikes. 

Smoke and debris launched into the sky like clouds while we clashed and destroyed our surroundings.

Obsidia picked me up by the foot to stop my attacks. However, I twisted my bone into a spiral and slammed my heel into the top of her head, cascading parts of her brain and shattered skull onto the roof. I struck her in the stomach and focused my eyes onto her body as she stumbled.

[Gaze of Wrath]

I stunned her and she fell to her knees, only to suffer from one more kick to the throat that threw her even further than the last time. Obsidia crashed through buildings, through fences, between dumpsters and streets, collapsing street poles, lights, power lines, and even abandoned cars as we reached a suburban area covered in houses and small businesses.

"You can't keep this up..." Obsidia grunted, raising back to her feet and holding out one hand toward the sky.

Black clouds loomed over her and covered her, only to reveal a fully replenished body standing in front of me.

"I can! I am infinite, undying, unstoppable. You are a mere Arkian, and I am a Strand-Entity!" Obsidia declared.

I took a deep breath, staying quiet, and focusing my control of Strands.

Dad gave me a lot when he used the Incarnation of Transfer on me...is what I would've liked to believe...

He didn't give me anything.

I thought he did, based on my use of every single Incarnation in his possession, but what I wasn't expecting was for the activation and usage of each Incarnation to be different than his. These aren't his...they're mine.

I have everything he does and even more....I can't believe I'm saying this...

I am stronger than Sky Asterio.
