What Are You Fighting For?

What Are You Fighting For?

Lita's laugh, sent chills down the Nova's spines, however the rookies didn't try to waste any time.

Amir raised an iron golem behind her and Sofia launched a quick fireball, more condensed than her last.

"Create: Raksasa Besi!"

"Ignite: Broca!"

Lita used the golem as support, to throw her torso up and kick her feet back through the golems stomach.

Then she reached towards the ground to creating a column to keep her up as he continued a round house kick emanating a slice of ice and electricity, erasing Sofia's attack, as it crashed into a flame barrier Sofia erected in time.

However, it was not strong enough to protect her, as she was sent flying from the impact.

Amir was starting to get nervous, realizing the situation they were in.

Over a hundred golems, followed by hundreds of volleys rose from the ground, targeting Lita.

"Aww, all of this for me? You shouldn't have!"

She placed one palm forward, as a ball of electricity crackled to life in front of her, rotating at mach speed.

Simultaneously, roots of ice, trailed from her feet and froze each golem it touched, turning them into her puppets as they began to fight the ones out of her reach.

"Divine Shock."

The ball of electricity burned white hot and cracked open, incinerating every stone volley Amir created.

Nur and Amir dove to safety, avoiding the energy wave.

Amir ran through his options, but his body was screaming at him to run.

He looked at Nur, who was still frozen in shock, he knew he wouldn't be able to get through to her.

Although, she was his senior, he wanted to protect her.

"It's times like this, that make a man."

He said to himself, then clad himself with stone and iron armour and unsheathing his lance.

Specially crafted and made out of versillium alloys, Amir practiced with it day and night, to become one with it.

Lita smiled, watching him charge and cut down ice golems, since she had made light work of his.

He jumped up, stepping on top of a golem and threw his lance reinforced with steel and iron, hoping to make it's mark.

Casually, Lita side stepped and caught the lance, whilst maintaining momentum, by spinning herself on one foot.

Then throwing it with lightning speed back at Amir.

He managed to raise a few barriers in front of him, to slow it down.

However it proceeded to tear through like butter, lodging into his stone armour and taking him dozens of meters south of his position into the air.

Echoing through across the fortresses remains, were Lita's laughs.

She was holding her sides, unable to control herself.

Electricity emanated randomly around her as temperatures dropped and rose in their vicinity.

She looked Nur, pointing in the direction Amir flew.

"Omg, did you see that? His eyes looked so cute as he flew further and further away... Ahh that was funny. Anyways, what's with you."

Her tone was cold.

Nur started to back up as her knees began to give way.

Lita started to walk towards her, slowly.

"You're a civilian on a battlefield. What makes you think you have the right to face me? To call yourself a soldier? You're comrades at least put in some effort, but you..."

The same thoughts were running through Nur's head.

'I can't do this. I'm going to die. Somebody save us!'

Lita's eyes started to wander, looking Nur over.

"Part of me wants to keep you as a pet, and play fun games with you. The other part me, hates your guts and wants to completely pulverize you."

She bit her lip, as she got less than a few meters from Nur.

"Ahhh the dilemma, how about I just have both and play with your corpse."

She quickly rose her hand to the side forming a wall of ice, as a fireball crashed into it.

"Get away from her!"

Nur broke out of her trance, hearing a familiar voice.

Although she had sustained a large cut on her forehead, Sofia stood strong, wiping occasional blood, covering her eye.

She could feel several fractures being fixed by the booster she had injected earlier.

Lita was surprised.

"I didn't think you would be able to survive that. You're more resilient than I expected."

Sofia ignored her, looking Nur dead in the eye.

"You can't just stand there. She'll kill us, then the rest of them will be in danger. We're Nova's Nur! What are you fighting for?"

Her voice nearly broke, getting through to her.

However, it was enough.

Nur clenched her teeth, ashamed, guilty, and feeling the worst she's ever felt.

She shook her head, then yelled out.

"I know! I know!"

She slapped her cheeks, psyching herself up, as she took deep breaths, then raised her hands in front of her.

Going first gear.

Lita was wary, by her newfound moral, but directed her anger at Sofia.

"You should have stayed down."

With one palm facing her, a giant condensed electric ball, manifested, and launched at high speed.

"Executioner's Current."

Sofia's life flashed before her eyes, she knew nothing she did, could stop the incoming danger.

However, within that second, ice crept up, erupting a thick wall protecting her and redirecting the blast.

"Frost: Ancient Valley!"

Sheets of ice spread out, from under Nur's feet, reaching a radius of several kilometers, creating buildings, roads, and native people walking around, minding their own business

As if they had always been there.

Energy started to swell up within her.

She realized with Lita's speed, it was impossible to gain control of the situation.

However, just as Tobi had taught her, each element had something to compensate its shortcomings.

She found out, she could keep up with lightning users like Norah, as long as she stayed within her ice domain, currently laying out all around them.

Sofia looked at Nur, ecstatic by her growth.

"Yes Nur! Let's kick her ass!"

Nur smiled back, then focused on aiding her comrades with energy from the planet.

The only drawback, was that this technique only gave her eight minutes, before her side effects kicked in.

"Don't be presumptuous!"

Lita yelled, rushing Nur, in a blur.

However Nur was already on the move, feeling every movement within her domain.

"Frost: Kohwj."

Wings sprouted out of her back, made out of snow and ice, followed by a light armour, beautifully detailed, settling itself over her Nova suit, allowing her to side step Lita's strike and trip her.

Before Lita could hit the ground, a massive pike erupted from under her, striking her abdomen and continued till she launched away from the remains Kari's fortress.

"Whoa Nur, that was freaking amazing! How do I make wings?"

Nur blushed, then raised her hand towards the direction Amir was in, beckoning her hand towards herself.

"Aaaaaah!"

They heard Amir yelling from far away as he was being hurried back to them, by ice golems, dressed as natives of the Indus Valley.

"What's going on?"

He asked as the golems, injected him with a booster, from his belt and healed him along with the nanites.

He was barely able to maintain consciousness, but the spike of adrenaline kick-started him.

"Guy's, this might sound a little selfish, but I have a plan to beat her. However I will need you both, to trust me with your lives... Are you ok with that?"

It was the most serious, they had ever seen her.

Amir gripped a fist in front of him, while Sofia, let loose a soft grin.

"Of course!"

They said in unison.

Nur smiled, she loved these two.

"Lets go back home together."
