The dark guardian

C81

In a dark mountain was Karius , the leader of the Volt, next to his faithful dog called Bulls, both were planning the last details of the plan that they already had in motion. 

BULLS 

I observed a hornet approaching Master Karius carrying a caprine of nectar, most likely it had already extracted the soul of a living being. He immediately took it and his body began to flash. He was always drinking constantly to become strong. 

"Do you think Pavard can control his new power?" I asked with many questions in my head. 

—As you can see, at first he refused to drink this nectar from the souls of the living because according to what we were violating our own rules, but now look how he is with his new power—he looked at me with those eyes that were scary, although the be my love there were times when his look scared me a little—that same thing will happen with all the Volt of the clan, we will all become more powerful. 

—I could notice that as soon as he tasted the nectar, I know that I am a Volt like you by blood, but at least I consider myself one of you—I lowered my face, I always felt that need to have been born as a Volt and not a vigilante. 

"Why do you say that?" He got up from his seat and raised my chin looking at him. "Although you are not a Volt by birth, it does not mean that you are not part of us, the fact that you are with me supporting me is enough for me, trust." between us is the most important thing that should be—he went to the window—although that fool Pavard doesn't know how to use his power, I don't care, what matters to me is that he should strengthen more.

"My doll is unique ," Pavard laughed, "it has the ability to enter the bodies of my enemies and then control them to my will, this time you will die, silly girl," he pointed out to me while Katsuro kept squeezing my neck. 

Let her go!" Kubo yelled . 

—It is impossible for him to listen to you, that doll is configured so that the possessed hear only the voice of his master—explained Pavard — you can talk to him whatever you want, but it will be useless. Now Katsuro kills Astrid—he ordered. 

"Don't do it!" Katsuro 's eyes were still the same, he took my body and threw me high, immediately my body was plummeting. At that height and at that speed, he would surely die as a result of the impact. 

"It can't be ," Pavard smiled, "I didn't know that you feel like consuming the souls of the living and I'm a fool who opposed it, but this is undoubtedly the best thing that's ever happened to me." 

I closed my eyes waiting for the impact on the ground, but by magic a psychic shield had been formed, but this time it had not been me who had activated it. 

"What the hell is going on?" he frowned "it doesn't matter, Katsuro kill her" he ordered again. 

—Take this!— Katsuro had attacked with a very powerful spell, but thanks to my shield I came out unscathed. 

"Please don't keep doing that, don't let him control you ." Katsuro was walking towards me with such a cold look. 

—Keep talking, silly— Pavard snorted—it seems that you have still understood what you say, he will never be able to listen to you—he fanned his face laughing. 

Katsuro placed his palm in front of me and detonated a larger spell, I placed my shield. But this time I hadn't been strong enough to stop it, I had destroyed it and made me fall. 

—Are you okay?— Kubo came to help me—I didn't know that Katsuro 's power was so great and the disadvantage we have now is that this guy can dominate him at will. 

—Now Katsuro , attack again—he ordered arrogantly. Katsuro placed his hand in front of him so he could release his spell again. 

—Come on, Astrid, get on defense— Kubo was behind me to give a better support when he hit us again. Katsuro cast his spell with the same intensity as before, forming the shield, but it destroyed it into thousands of fragments. 

"Are you okay?" Kubo asked, I knew he was the one who had taken the most damage trying to protect me. 

—Absorb all his powers— Pavard ordered his flower and immediately Katsuro 's body began to light up so much that it gave way to a stronger transformation—this is Perfect—he rubbed his hands—I didn't know that this guy had a hidden power. 

—It's incredible— Kubo was surprised, continuing will make Katsuro release all his power, but that means that his body is going to deteriorate little by little, because just look at his hand as it is—he pointed and in fact it was reddish, it seems that he was forcibly attacking. 

Katsuro took his katanas and came towards me ready to kill me. 

—Defend yourself —kubo yelled , I activated my shield and accidentally hurt Katsuro . 

"I'm so sorry," I tried to help him. 

-You are crazy? Can't you see that he's not Katsuro — kubo gave me a present — he has to do something soon or he'll end up killing us. 

—But I can't do anything, I can't hurt him, deep down we would only harm his body and I don't want that. 

"What a funny situation I'm seeing ," Pavar laughed, "I don't know how it will feel that the only method of survival is to kill my own friend, this will be very interesting. " 

Once again Katsuro came over me . 

"Damn it, Astrid!" React and attack too— kubo was running towards me. 

JAMES 

We were running towards Lakai 's house , the wounds that those hornets had done to Harry were very serious, if we didn't get there in time, it is most likely that he would die . 

"You look very tired," Steve said, "if you want I can carry it for you." 

—It's not necessary—I was carrying him on my shoulders—I can carry him there, besides , he has nothing to do with the madness that is happening, these damned will pay me, I can't let him die—he was very hurt, that battle it had left me weak but my pride was stronger that even though I needed help I didn't ask for it. 

—Hey, don't feel guilty about what happened to your friend, it seems that the Volt are taking their victims randomly and by bad luck it happened to your friend. 

—Of course I feel guilty—I kept running at the same pace—if it wasn't for me none of this would have happened—I felt intense pain in my abdomen that made me bend over. 

"Hey, seriously, you don't have to feel like this with me, I'm not your enemy," he carried Harry's body, "also don't think I'm weak, in these conditions you're not capable of continuing with this weight." We both have a common enemy and believe me that is what it feels like to be in this situation. I too lost a friend in a similar circumstance.” He held out his hand to help me up. 

"You're right" I shook her and we ran. He was absolutely right, right now what we needed most was to be united to be able to defeat these subjects who were attempting against the life of the entire city.

—You're pretty hurt— kubo took me in his arms—you have to attack Katsuro or else he's going to kill us both. 

"I can't do it kubo ," I sobbed, "not after we tried to save him, I can still remember everything we went through in the core dimension. " What James, Kai and Mike fought , we all did our part there giving everything to save him, I know that I was not a great contribution that we say, but with all my heart I wanted to rescue him, besides he is one of my best friends, I have so many memories with him , that's why I can't attack him just like that. 

—Don't worry—he put his hand on my shoulder—I think I have the solution for this particular case— Kubo had smiled, it seemed that he was hatching a plan that could not fail. 

LAKAI 

" Lakai , are you there?" James and another guy had come to my house.

But what the hell happened to them?" I immediately attended them, James brought a wounded boy. "Who are you ?" I asked that guy who looked like a vigilante. 

“I'm Steve and I come from part of the central dimension. 

"I need you to treat my friend's wounds, Harry," he fell unconscious. 

"Something has to be done immediately." I looked for Diddo so he could help them with this. We took the two bodies and placed them on the ground, we had made some makeshift reeds—is there any good news?— Diddo was tending to the bodies. 

—Unfortunately for this boy the condition is not very good to say—I was analyzing him—the only thing we can do is inject a little of James's power into this boy's body, maybe it will work for us—he suggested. 

- Here it is too Jinsu ?" Steve asked. 

—Yes, we have him in the other room, Pelé, the child he was carrying in his arms, is not as well as we can say, his body does not allow him to endure much like the body possessed by vigilantes.

—The plan I have is the following— kubo approached my ear—since you don't want laginar your friend the only thing that occurs to me is that you should attack Pavard , that way maybe he will be distracted and the spell will end, but you should attack. 

"Okay," I agreed bravely, I had to do something about it, but whatever it was, I didn't like hurting anyone. 

—Have you finished your meeting yet?— Pavard laughed— Katsuro , attack again—surrounded him and immediately paid attention to him. 

He grabbed his katanas and ran towards me, but Kubo suddenly stopped him. The two of them were fighting. 

—It's time for you to attack him, Astrid— Kubo kept fighting to distract Katsuro . There was a small space in which Pavard had lowered his guard. 

—Now ! —I released one of my spells, he had gone towards Pavard , but the trio had used their flash step serving as a shield—no!—it had hurt my soul to see what had hurt my own friend. 

—What fools you are, do you think I would lower my guard just because I was controlling Katsuro 's body ? They're wrong— he laughed— Katsuro can not only attack, he knows that he must also defend me as long as possible— katsuro 's body was bleeding from the attack he had made—attack katsuro —he ordered again, this time not I had no kind of defense, no doubt he was ready to kill me, but by a miracle a sword had gotten in the way, he had stopped his sword just inches from my face. 

Suiem , is that you ?" There was a strong guy in front of me , he had black armor and he looked like a vigilante. 

—Yes— Pavard I frown , " Who are you ? 

—I'm Max, vigilante of box four, the central dimension has sent me to destroy all the Volt and I see that you are one of them—he took his sword and used the flash step to attack, but Katsuro had intervened—why? are you defending this guy Katsuro ?

—It's because of the ability that his doll has, it allows him to control the emotions and the body of his enemy—I tried to clarify. 

—So that's your doll's ability—he scratched his chin—I think I'll have to destroy Katsuro anyway . 

"Don't do it!" I took his arm. 

—What a fool you are— Pavard kept a considered distance—my rose could even take over your flight if I wanted to—he laughed—I wonder how strong your body will be too, but first finish this job Katsuro —ordered, but he didn't he was moving—I told you to attack him damn. 

" A... Astrid, " Katsuro stuttered and couldn't hold his sword well. It seemed like he was objecting to something—I need you to attack me right now. 

—I can't do it Katsuro , I can't hurt you—you feel powerless as always. 

—Come on, don't waste any more time, I won't be able to sleep this thing for a long time, don't be afraid that something happens to me—he continued to oppose, with difficulty he could speak—believe me that as a vigilante dying under your mother or it would be the fairest act And honorable of me, don't let this thing control me again, just please.

—That's right—assured Max—for us vigilantes we have to honor our name, justice is the path to truth and we will have to assassinate Katsuro . 

—But I don't want to hurt him—my tears began to roll down my cheeks, I didn't know what to do with all this, on the one hand I wanted to help in the battle, but on the other Lagunes didn't want my own friend. 

Katsuro began to writhe in pain, screaming as if he were being burned alive, until his eyes returned to the same state they were in. 

"Don't worry, master, I've taken control of this body again, I apologize for what happened," said his doll. 

—This is too much, I always have to be in a situation where my feelings are broken, but this time it won't be like that, Max—I observed him—thank you very much, sir, for helping me, but it's my turn to end this once and for all— I walked towards Katsuro , this time you feel an enormous power coursing through my veins. 

" Katsuro , attack, " Pavard ordered , Katsuro once again placed his hand in front of me to generate more of these spells, he managed to cast one that shook the ground with its impact. "Perfect, that girl was dead for sure." Pavard He laughed , feeling Victorious, however, I came out of that smoke screen, always facing him, walking little by little towards him , immediately he began to cast his spell over and over again , but my shield was strong enough to resist all his attacks. 

I took his sword from the edge with my sword, the power of my heart was so great that nothing could do me Say only in this state, my body was luminous like the sun. I hugged Katsuro surrounding him with a bubble of power. 

—This can't be—shouted the doll from inside, little by little it came out of Katsuro 's body and he returned to his normality—I'm very sorry master, but what this girl did I don't know how to describe it, only that I no longer have the power to control it. 

worry, we 'll finish them off once and for all— Pavard was getting into an attack position, but Max had instantly appeared and wounded Pavard with his sword . 

"Your time has come and you don't have a chance to beat me and less with your silly doll." He raised his sword to attack him more forcefully, but while the sword would cut off the head of paying, another sword had intervened, a subject had arrived carrying Almost the same armor as Max— who the hell are you? —the two of them grappled with their swords. 

"Do you not remember me ?" Max—answered the mysterious guy, because of his appearance he couldn't tell he was a Volt. 

—To tell the truth , I remember your face perfectly—Max had remembered something, but he knew what they were referring to—after all the things they said about you were true, that the vigilante Bulls had joined the Volt clan, no I can believe that you have sunk so low." He shook his head and spat. "You disgust me. 

—It will be at another time that we have to measure our Max powers—he took Pavard 's body and took him into the shadows. 

The good thing is that Katsuro had returned to normal. 

"Finally..." I hugged him tightly, he was my friend and I loved him . 

—Thank you very much, otherwise I would have died being possessed by that thing—he also hugged me tightly—licking also for having given you problems, I shouldn't have forced you to kill me when I know you have the purest heart I've ever known . 

—This is emotional— Kubo was crying. Yes, as I saw it, apparently he had been touched by the situation we went through. 

"How pathetic you humans are." Max crossed his arms. Maybe he didn't understand it because they didn't create bonds as strong as we do with our friends, but at least it hadn't been a bad night, we didn't stop those two Volt, but we had rescued Katsuro
