Lying on the ground with her consciousness disappearing, she turns her eyes to Nicholas, only seeing his back facing her.
"Stop her, please." Aya closed her eyes.
Coseria begins to smile, and she plans on mocking him but a wind knocks her face, and she crashes against a pillar. She stands up, only to get hit by multiple unseen wind pressures, striking her abdomen.
She stumbles but the attack doesn't stop, multiple wind pressures hit her again. She sees a pair of sandals right in front of her, and she raises her face, getting hit by a strong punch from Nicholas. She falls on the ground and stands up but she gets thrown away by a strong kick from the young man, sending her crashing against the wall.
"What's up with you?!" Coseria narrowed her eyes after yelling, "I almost had that crystal but you act like a brat that needs attention!"
She feels a hand gripping her cheek, and it's none other than Nicholas whose eyes are filled with such ferocity. He tosses her, and manipulates the air around him, slamming Coseria against the ground. He lifts every large stone chunk with wind pressure, sending them crashing on Coseria.
"I won't let you touch that crystal! You have to kill me," Nicholas felt the strong wind pressure spinning around him, "I challenge you to survive the calamity of my anger!"
Coseria stands back on her feet, and her eyes flinch at the unending waves of dust hitting her. Her eyes widen after a fist hits her abdomen, and she summons flytraps from her back, they all go towards Nicholas amidst the dust storm he created.
A swing of his fingertips causes the flytraps to lose their heads. Coseria flinches after feeling the pain, and she sharpens her fingernails.
"JUST DIE!" Coseria stepped towards Nicholas with her fingernails ready to strike.
Her fingernails stab him but his figure disperses like ash being blown by the air. She turns around, and suddenly, a punch wrapped in twirling air strikes her abdomen, releasing a scream from her mouth.
Nicholas pushes his fist further into her abdomen, and the impact releases a spinning force of wind, sending her flying towards the ceiling. Nicholas turns around, and a stream of green energy strikes him, and he disappears.
Aya begins to stand up, and she walks toward Coseria who fell from the ceiling. A bright smile manifests on Aya's face, and she coughs; her saliva is mixed with her blood.
Aya falls but she places her hand on her thigh before she falls completely to the ground. She straightens her posture while watching Coseria slowly stand to her feet.
"This is where it all ends!" Aya yelled but she coughed again.
A green light flashes beside Elesia, and Nicholas falls on the ground beside her. Elesia walks toward him, and Nicholas stands up.
"Where did you go?!" Elesia looked at him from head to toe.
"I was fighting the one who harmed your sister, then, I got hit by an energy which sent me here!"
A bright barrier catches their attention, and Nicholas looks at it. "WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE?!"
Nicholas speaks, "Whoever you are, I need a pair of wings!"
Elesia slides her hand inside her shirt and brings out her necklace with a green emerald pendant.
The pendant is blinking with bright green lights, and Nicholas turns his eyes toward it with fascination.
"What does that light mean?" he asked.
Elesia knows what the light means, the way she stares at it tells the answer that Nicholas is looking for. He crouches in front of Elesia with concern in his gaze. "Hey! Are you okay?"
"No," Elesia slowly turned her eyes at him, "this pendant is made from the energy that flows within her veins. The same energy that connects us as sisters, this strong blink means that–"
"She's in danger," Nicholas told her.
He stands up and turns around, and he stares at the temple. "We need to get there immediately!"
Elesia stands up and turns her head from side to side with closed eyes. Nicholas shakes his head and holds her wrist. He pulls her into a hug as a pair of large wings of wind appear on his back.
Elesia can feel the fast beating of his heart. "This is Aya's wish, we need to let go of her so that she can do her deed as a guardian!"
"No! You two may have a deal like that! But I am her friend, and that agreement doesn't exist between us!" Nicholas flew with Elesia in his embrace.
Nicholas crashes against the barrier, embracing Elesia tightly. He creates some space between himself and the barrier, firing wind slashes from every swing of his hands. The barrier didn't break not even a scratch is on its surface.
"Nicholas! That barrier is her strongest technique, you will not break it!"
"No, Elesia! I can do it! Just watch me!" Nicholas covered his other hand with wind pressure.
He flies away from the barrier and flies toward it. With all of his strength, Nicholas thrusts his fist covered in spiralling wind, striking the barrier.
The impact bounces back at him, throwing Nicholas and Elesia away but he didn't lose his grasp on Elesia. Nicholas pushes himself back to his feet but his knees shake making him fall on his knees.
A green light covers both Nicholas and Elesia, and it disappears, leaving no traces of them behind.
Screams and grunts echo within the temple, Coseria continues firing energy beams at the ceiling and it crumbles but regenerates a new ceiling. She turns her eyes beside her, seeing Aya lying on the ground with her eyes wide open but they've lost their colour.
"DAMN YOU! YOU TRAPPED ME IN THIS PLACE!" Coseria roared at Aya's unconscious body.
Meanwhile, among the civilians walking along the streets of Recto, Manila. A man who looks in his 60s with white hair, wearing a pair of a shirt, and large dark pants is walking among them. His brown eyes turn to green but they quickly return to their brown colour.
"This is what Coseria is feeling then," he breathed in through his nose, "the air smells like smoke, and I think this is what I can exepct from a polluted city."
He looks around him, only seeing the buildings and other humans walking around. "I need to find that place where those little innocent human beings are residing. When I find them, I'll do my research about how to manipulate them."
