Then the sky crackled and Vivian stood there grinning and looking up at her adversary with a smile, she’d look up at him and grin. His size hadn’t grown but then it began to change him, the artifact began surging with a pink glow and she began grinning. Letting out a little giggle as she looked at the large man groveling and groaning from the hit, walking over to him she’d gracefully float over his body and land on his head before sitting down with her legs crossed leaning back and looking at the eviscerated forest. Mystical flames illuminating the destruction and chaos caused by their scuffle.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBr3UDBiP1
“Isn’t it beautiful? Animals scattering, running, and fleeing. It’s really amusing, the only thing funnier is you groveling beneath me.” The Man continued groaning and soon Vivian turned her head seeing the man’s body growing, then the ground began rumbling. She’d laugh as she hopped off him and looked behind her gazing up at him. The man was colossal before but now he was bulkier, much larger, his body had grown muscular and turned him into a monster of sorts. His mouth was one, his eyes were surging with energy, and he was breathing heavily.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qJoxIQ0lr
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Excellent, you’re just making yourself look even MORE pathetic! Flail your arms around more! Go wild!”
“Control minimum, Vivian isn’t completely lost. The artifact seems to be held in a stasis that she is in control of. I suggest we stay out of her way and allow it to do whatever it’s intending to do.”
“Yeah but if we keep too close we risk getting caught up in it.” Anderson said as he stepped back and checked on Skobi, she’d take a deep breath. A large rock was split on both sides of them, a transparent barrier over everyone.
“It’s starting…” Blue told them as the ground began rumbling, the large man swung down at Vivian and in seconds an impact shock temporarily flashed and his arm was launched back. Stumbling back he threw another punch and another shockwave emitted launching that one back. Everyone heard Vivian giggling then they saw her, glowing pink and floating around the monstrous man before hitting him in the face making a loud THWACK sound. The beastly man stumbled back as Vivian began cackling, looking down at her hand which was coated in a pink aura before it vanished. She’d look over and see the man raising both his fists above her head and slamming them down on her, stopping it inches away from her body. Smirking she’d point her finger up and a burst blasted him away causing him to fall back and destroy the ground and forestry even more.
“Hehehehehehe… Hahahahahahahahaha!!!” Vivian began laughing and looking at her hands showing great excitement when she saw the pink crystalline shine begin covering her hands, looking down at the man she’d float down and gently land on his stomach. The moment her foot connected it caused a shockwave that forced him to real forward from the pain. She then leapt forward propelling herself greatly and then kicked him in the face, launching him across the ground tumbling and rolling until he’d finally stopped. Coming to his senses he’d feel the cool air and realize his arm was hanging. Looking forward and forcing himself up his sight would reveal the edge of the small island they were on, then… He felt his entire being quiver. Turning his head he’d see her coming for him. As the dust began to settle Vivian’s pink glowing eyes showed and soon the lines along her clothing, then the entire outline of her body. Then all the feeling within her body just faded away.
“Nhhhf. Don’t you see it? You don’t stand a chance in this world trying to cast me aside in comparison to utilizing me.”
“Show off as much as you want, I’m not trusting you. We’re not exactly friends, so I doubt you have my best interest at heart.. I’m not letting you prove them right by destroying everything.”
“Dumber than you think if you’re going to keep pestering me and making me waste time when I could be dealing with this idiot.”
“Finish him now, enough games. Throw him off the island or knock him out.” Vivian’s eye began to lose the glow it had and exhaustion began to settle in immediately. Her arm felt like a bag of bricks, she had to use her other arm to lift it up. Steadying her arm she’d watch an energy orb begin to bring up and then in an instant.
ZHING! KZOOM!!
An immense shockwave blasted the man and stripped all the power from him bit by bit, and more and more energy was exhausted by Vivian. Her body felt hot, her eyes began to blur, and then with a blinding light. The Man was reduced to what appeared to be nothing, she fell to her knees and looked outward at the destruction. The entire edge of the island disappeared, then she looked around. The forest was destroyed, the animals were in disarray and fearing her, running and scampering. She did this… She got angry… She was mad at him and she didn’t control her anger. This is what she’s capable of doing if she doesn’t control herself… However something just- It felt weird. It felt like she was being swallowed by some force, some dark energy was eating away at her and she couldn’t… She couldn’t pull herself free. Then she just woke up, somewhere she hadn’t been in forever. The home she and Alex grew up in, she was in their living room. Seated in front of the fire, she felt safe… But she shouldn’t right?
“Having trouble sleeping??” Vivian jolted as she turned around looking at her… Father?138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlZZS7OGOu
“Noticed you weren’t in bed. Figured you’d be down here, she was always down here with you when you were little.” Logan sat on his sofa chair and cracked open two cans and handed one to Vivian.
“Mom wouldn’t be happy knowing you’re drinking sugary drinks before bed.”
“Our little secret.” Vivan smiled and grabbed the soda, sitting back against the couch and drinking it.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuDc2Md4CT
“Care to tell your old man what’s wrong?”
“Aside from us both being very tired in the morning?”
“Oh please, you’ll be kickin’ and fussing’, I learned to function sleepless when your mother had you two. Now, care to let me know why we’re both cosplaying as owls?”
“I just… I’m scared dad. I’m scared of the future, I’m scared of what I’m doing, I'm scared of everything coming… I’m… I don’t know. I think I’m just sounding crazy.”
“Not in the slightest, can’t say I’m the best chat for this since I’m your dad and not your mom but I get it entirely.”
“You do?”
“All my life. I’ve felt that fear, where will I end up. How will I do anything? What if the best I’ve got just ain’t enough… Scary thoughts that make ya feel like the whole world is done and dusted. But I learned something that took a long time to put in motion. Acceptance. I realized that I can’t do everything in my life but if I stress and dwell on what I can’t do, I’ll never improve on what I can and sometimes working on your strengths can help you overcome your weaknesses. I had to carry the weight of the world and I put it on my neck instead of spreading it out and using my body to lift it. But every time I look at you two I realize, ain’t no time to feel sorry for myself.” Vivian looked up at her dad as he drank his soda and then took a deep breath looking at the picture of her mother up on the wall.138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgpVQ9qIDu
“So what am I saying with all this yapping?”
SSSSSSSIP…
“Find confidence in yourself Vivian, confidence in yourself is the hardest thing to look for but once you find that and you waste less and less time worrying. Girl you’re gonna take the world by storm and show them just how amazing you really are.” Vivian smiled as she looked at her dad, standing up and placing her soda on the table before climbing into his arms, Logan reached down and gently hugged his daughter.
“I’m sorry for worrying you so much dad.”
“I’m your father Vivian, it’s my job to worry about you and your brother.”
