Hope, Hopeless

"Captain!"

Shouts of worry and anger went off in the coms as David and Nathan got hurled back by the force of the javelin piercing Nathan's back, the power of the force was so great that both David and Nathan were sent flying so far they bypassed Nyx and Yulius who were observing their current predicament.

The trelf quickly approached, he was so fast that even to the lvl 3 transendents, he appeared to teleport, he stopped before Yulius and Nyx who were already mustering their neural force, they knew running was not an option and they would be shaming the emperor if they died with their backs to the enemy.

"We will fight to the death"

"TWO SUNS ANILATION TECNIQUE"

Yulius shouted to alert the ever silent Nyx of his intentions, the technique he was planning to use was a technique invented by the Twin Pheonix of Solaris, it was performed with the help of two fire attribuite sentinel type transendents of the same level, by combining their output at max capacity they can create flames of a level higher than theirs, in this case a level 4 flame.

Nyx understood and nodded in acknowledgement, as they began to conjure the flames all attention was on them, even the trelf was seemingly waiting to see what futile attempts they had to offer, the trelfs always want to learn as much as possible.

Meanwhile David mourningly knelt infront of Nathan's still body, he was quiet and unattentive to his surroundings, he was lost in his self contemplation and revaluation, he blamed himself for his death, Nathan treated him like his younger brother but he lead him to his death, fear of rejection from his remaining squadmates crept in his heart, memories of his life appeared in his mind,- at least those he remembered-, the moments he shared with his... brother, even those memories that he deamed childish and unfit for the successors of the first, he tried to reach for them, but they suddenly shuttered, like a mirror dropped from a high place, now reflecting his real face, the face of an egocentric and irresponsible toothless dog, a part of him hated himself, the other tried to justificate himself, another just wanted to creep into a hole away from eveything, not wanting to face and arrange his emotions and convictions.

He continued to kneel motionless , uncertain on what to do next, when Nyx and Yulius, each implade on the familiar javelin came hurling to their ultimate deaths, it wasn't pretty, but it was glorious.

Their crush and impact seem to wake David out of his trancelike state, when he raised his head to inspect his situation he locked eyes with the Trelf, the trelfs eyes conveyed no emotion, but David's alone was enough to tell that their fued would be an eternal one.

David's face contorted to it's limit, evident of his fury, he roared loudly amplifying his voice with he neural force, causing it to resound through the whole battlefield, invoking a primordial fear within the hearts of all who heard it, wether it be friend or foe,

"Death to all who stand in my way!!!"

His battle cry sounded like thunder and his armour began to reveal cracks from which eminated a white light, his hair burst out with radiant white, letiing out occasionally sparks of lighting, his dirty brown hair had turned brilliant white, his neural force rushed out in the form of lighting despite being a physical type, his neural force now carried the momentum of a lvl 4 transendent, but it appeared that he had no control, he had gone berserk.

His eyes shone blue, he bares his teeth revealing his enlarged canines, growling like I wild animal he lunged at the Trelf, slashing at him with his claws of surging electricity, although this was his first time, his proficiency said otherwise. Regardless that his attempt was parried, he continued to slash at the Trelf's barrier from all sides with increasing speed, he was as swift and devastating as a thunderbolt everytime he attacked, the devastation was so severe that nearby trelfs were occasionally struck by the residue thanderbolt.

Meanwhile the trelf without actively participating observed David who seemed to be in multiple places instantaneously, he observed calmly from behind his barrier as David mindlessly tried to breach it, from the perspective of the people on the wall, David appeared to be suppressing the trelfen powerhouse and hope was renascent in their hearts, but the more adept eyes saw a much different scene, David wasn't suppressing the trelf, but on the contrary it was David who was getting no ground in the fight, he couldn't levitate like the trelf and he was the only one taking the initiative, his energy wasn't endless, sooner than later he would run dry.

David on the otherhand had completely no care for this fact, all he wanted was to break, destroy and consume. The trelf didn't give David the satisfaction to fight until exhaustion, he had understood the pattern with which David attacked and was now ready to retaliate, without actively participating how could he possibly acquire more experience.

The Trelf stretch out his hand to telekinetically grab David, but was not completely successful, David's rapid movements and the chaotic neural force that he was coated in made him difficult to grasp, he was like a wet bar of soap, extremely slippery. All though the trelf wasn't entirely successful, he was able to decrease David speed, taking advantage of this, he quickly condensed three javelins, each sharper than the last,

*BOOM

They fired off, their target preditermined, David, even after seeing the trajectory of the javelins, was unfased, intending to face it head on, but his intentions didn't fall through, before contact with the javelins,he suddenly vanished from the battlefield before everyone's eyes, even the trelf powerhouse had no knowledge of his whereabouts, it wasn't as if he had turned invisible, his presence was simply no longer there, he had simply dissappeared.
