I jumped up and saw my parents. "Oh shit." My parents were here. Don.
My father smiled. "You did a good job with that military unit."
My parents seemed a lot more energized and I felt like I slept for a week straight. I looked around the room and saw Santino laying on the ground. "Oh no." I ran over to him and he didn't look to be breathing.
My mother spoke, "Wait…"
I jumped on him and he exhaled sharply. I smiled, "Thank goodness."
"I appreciate the affection, but can you please get off my chest." Santino struggled to get up.
I backed off him and stared. His eyes were brighter, like an inhuman brightness. "Mom, what's going on? Why is everyone so rejuvenated?"
My mother looked at me, "There is a lot to explain but we have to get off this planet before my mother gets here. She's is much more destructive than you and I can be. This world is about to end and I would rather it be by her hands and not ours."
Don. "We have…"
My dad touched my shoulder, "We know. Lucifer and Don are both in this museum. We shouldn't split up again. You and Santino tired too easily from your last battle against these humans. You need to be stronger for what's ahead. The only way to get stronger, is to keep fighting."
I nodded.
Santino chipped in, "Do you still see him as a father figure?"
I stayed still, "I never considered that he was a part of the kidnapping. He just told me you two were dead. I've been tracking Kitten but couldn't find her for the longest time. Lucifer always encouraged me, and always helped me, but it was all for his own gain."
The room began to shake. My parents looked annoyed and Santino's excitement was real. "Lucifer is here."
I chuckled. "Are you okay to do this?"
"Yeah."
"What part of the museum are we in? This room doesn't look familiar."
My mom answered, "We're in the employee break room."
The water fountain, plush chairs, and sleeping cots all supported her observation. "Something's happened to Lucifer. I can only sense my blood in him. Before there was something else before."
My parents looked at each other. The room rumbled again and over the loud speaker, Lucifer spoke, "I know all of you are here. Kitten is dead, James is dead, so I guess it's my turn. Well I won't make this easy for you guys. I feel that damn Rabbit's power slipping out of my body, but I'll be sure to kill this one here before that happens. Kit, can you reach me before I kill him?" He laughed.
I heard Don screaming before Lucifer ended the transmission. He was in this mess because of me. I needed to save him. I was out of that room before Lucifer finished speaking. My parents and Santino right behind me.
"I have no clue where I am going. This needs to end."
My father led the way. We got about 20 steps before we saw them. Thirty humans with bombs strapped to their bodies. All of the timers showed different times. A man walked up to me, he looked frantic and his mouth was sewn shut. I grabbed the bomb off his chest and it immediately went to zero and blew up in my hand.
"Damn it!" It left a scratch but I had to save all of the others. "Get the bombs off of them!" When I said that the others started to blow one by one and after ten seconds. We stood covered in blood. I hated Lucifer. He's so fucking reckless.
"He guys, I see you're still alive. Lina and Czar, I have to give it to you. I always knew there was something off about the two of you, but this is beyond my expectations. I am happy that at least Kit shared her abilities with me, willingly. Don's down a couple of fingers Kit hurry."
Santino coughed.
My frustration increased and I tried to keep a level head.
My father continued to the next room and there were dismembered bodies everywhere.
"Shit. He can bring back the dead? How?" Santino stood in front of me.
"It wasn't him. This is from the Rabbit. I hate that beast. This is not going to be easy. We will have to handle these reanimated humans, why you go on to find Lucifer. Just keep control of your emotions. No matter what happens." My mother and father moved to strike the reanimated corpses and we watched as they kept coming back to life.
I materialized right in front of Lucifer. He stepped back and I watched as he stumbled over Don.
My blood turned cold. I stared at Don sitting on the floor clutching his broken hand. His face was bruised and his breathing was ragged.
Lucifer stood up and laughed.
I charged him and knocked him into the wall. My hands made punished his metallic face and I felt it crushing under my blows. Lucifer kept a smile on his face. I stopped and took a step back to observe him. Santino was almost here.
"Well, someone has a surge of energy. This will not be an easy fight." Lucifer cracked his neck and punched his hand.
He charged me and caught me off guard. I felt my body hit the wall. He pummeled my face and I could barely block. I felt a crack under my skin and screeched in pain.
My nose was cracked. I felt the blood rushing down my face.
Lucifer grabbed me by the shirt and slammed me through the wall. My vision faltered for a second as I laid on the ground. My body. I actually felt pain.
Lucifer started to back up. I felt his energy surge. Just then Santino appeared with Don on his back. "Do not interfere! I can do this!"
Santino nodded.
I hated Lucifer. All these years he knew where my parents were. He experimented with their blood, and caused all of this.
"Don't take too much time." Lucifer's form looked like it increased. He charged at me and the ground rumbled.
I cooled the air around me. Lucifer's legs turned to ice blocks. As he broke out of them, I kicked him in the head, knocking him to the ground. I screamed in his face, freezing it in an ice block. I pulled and detached his head. He was immobilized for only a second.
I punched a hole through his body and felt my yaria return to me. I laughed. I had done it. I felt complete. I watched as Lucifer's hand raised. I froze it and crushed it in my hands. I heard a small thud, but ignored it and watched as the last of Lucifer's energy left him and my yaria was completely returned to me.
I froze his entire body then stomped it to pieces.
"Ki…t…"
I turned to see Santino clutching his chest. He moved his hand and there was hole in his through his chest. My eyes moved from the hole in Santino's heart, to Don. Don's limp body unmoving on Santino's back. Santino fell. Don's scent was gone, and Santino's was fading. "No!"
I walked over the them. Santino smiled, "Shit, I just got healed. I don't want you to worry. Keep control of your emotions. I'm…sorry."
The light in his eyes faded and he was gone. I looked down at the bodies of the men that loved me. I fell to my knees. My blood went cold. Santino was not here to warm me. Don was not here to accept me. The world around me grew cold. I couldn't hold it back.
I screamed. The ice enveloped the world around me. I moved closer to Santino and Don. I held their hands in mine. I failed. I screamed again.
