Ivar, Jessica and Mathis

Ivar dove in and out of the earth commanding huge chunks of rock to crush any enemy he saw. He did this for a few minutes and killed dozens of them. Jessica launched giant walls of fire across the battlefield, incinerating anyone unlucky enough to be caught inside. Mathis shot lightning at would be opponent and after at least a half hour the three were standing together and breathing heavily.

"I can't do this much longer," Ivar informed them. "I don't have the ability."

Jessica agreed, "We will have to retreat or die."

Mathis nodded, "We have to stay as long as possible."

They all agreed and then I, Kindra, approached them and spoke, "You three have done enough. You can retreat and recover, I will take care of the rest."

"You can't take them all Kindra," Jessica complained.

I turned to the wave of fast approaching enemies and nodded, "Then I die protecting the future of our race. You should be lucky to be considered worthy to fight for this cause, but if you don't have the will to fight for it, leave. However, if you have the will to fight, your bodies can't stop you from fighting. True you may die, but I would rather die free than live as a slave." I then turned back to them, "Wouldn't you?"

The three of them took courage in my words but I could see the fear in their eyes and I smiled, "Fear not, my father is not far. Just a little longer and we can rest."

We then began to fight with renewed strength. The others were on the brink of death when they came, stalkers made for each and every one of us. Jessica, Ivar, and Mathis were crushed in moments and the seven stalkers then turned on me.

"I know you can't hear me, nor do you care," I shouted. "But you will not get to Rain or my mother."

I became invisible but instead of only one being able to see me four of them could, which didn't make any sense. Before the ones that couldn't see me acted and went on to get the others I killed them. They had changed back into the old looking men and were easy targets. The other four were not so easy. After a few moments of dodging I understood, they had been programed, all four of them, to attack me. Deothanos knew my powers and knew one could no longer beat me.

I had been fighting just using physical combat like I had in prison but this called for desperate measures. I quickly changed my power and focused it in a very different manner than I had always used it. I focused it on the four of them, they were no longer even coming close to hit me, I moved before they had even realized they were swinging. I could see every movement and every motion, but I didn't even realize I was blind to everything else.

I managed to kill one of them before I was sliced deep across my back. I turned and saw a large cat looking down at me. I fell to my knees and smiled, "Goodbye Cali, father saw what you did."
