Hate & Anger

What just happened? 

As stunned as they were, it all happened too fast. The spot where the Gravity Fall had been was blazing on fire, the tentacles destroyed by its own action. 

Levi scanned the faces of his colleagues, they were all shocked with the shadow of the flames flickering on them. Paige had cupped her mouth, sobbing while Nate who was closest to the explosion was groaning in pain.

"Is..is, is he dead?" Paige asked in between short sniffs. 

Jamie rushed to cater for Nate who seemed to be doing just fine. Similarly, Abby had approached Levi to make sure he was okay. "Is everyone alright?!" Abby asked loudly.

Brody and Box made confirmation sounds as they managed to poise on their feet effectively. 

[Even I didn't sense this coming, Levi]

"What are we gonna do now? The jet was our only connection, how would we get out of here?" Jamie asked with pure emotions in her voice as she knelt to raise Nate up.

They all stared at themselves, digesting the truth of their current state. "We can't do anything, and any other creature could attack us now. One could be underground like right now," Brody said, flinging himself back to the ground. 

Loras had said there weren't any creatures in the outskirts, so how did this come to be? Were they regenerating faster than expected? 

"This is all bullshit!" Nate yelled, clenching his hurt elbow. "I said you loosers shouldn't come!"

Abby chuckled, "How do they have anything to do with what happened, Nate?"

"It's not about what happened but what they could do to help if things go wrong! Right now, they're useless, I advise you to leave them here, we find our way back. C'mon Jamie," Nate said, rounding Jamie by the waist. 

"What are you doing? You're thinking about flying you and I out of here? You don't even know your way!" Jamie cut him off.

"Just like I expected, planning on abandoning us to die just like the way you did with Komiko," Abby blurted plainly.

There was an awkward silence after Abby's words. They must have carried so much weight and history because Nate looked up at her with hate and anger in his eyes.

"That will be the last straw Abby," Nate stated with gritted teeth and clenched fists. 

"Oh! You haven't seen the last...you double-crosser," Abby hissed, her eyes squinted.

It was clear that Nate had had enough, his eyes glew golden and his fists gleamed with energy. Jamie tried to hold him back but he quickly thrusted himself to Abby. Abby, who was anticipating it all this while, leaped into the air with sparks in her hands, directed them to Nate who was struck down.

However, that wasn't enough to defeat him. He rocketed into the air, all anger towards Abby. Nate released straight dangerous golden beams at Abby who was very acrobatic and dodging the deadly attacks.

"I will kill you!" Nate yelled, firing all he had at Abby. Abby was heeding a holdback plot and only attacked when Nate had a clear weak spot. 

The rest watched as gold and white sparks bounced and repelled each other up above. Levi was quite amazed, now he understood why they were ranked red and golden. Abby fought like a professional, Nate was obviously stronger, but he was letting his anger get over him. Levi wondered who was this Komiko they were fighting about. 

Nate suddenly caught up with the defensive Abby and punched her hard on the cheek, sending her with duress to the ground. Abby landed hard and tried to get up, but was held by Nate who pinned her two arms. 

"Stop it!" Jamie cried with tears in eyes. "Stop fighting!"

Nate didn't listen, he powered his hand and punched Abby again on the face, blood quickly exposed. Levi started running towards the horrible scene in a bid to save Abby but Nate shot a straight beam at him, sending Levi back.

Nate was going berserk! He kept on going at Abby who laid still with her face covered in blood. The others stood aside, none of them definitely wanted nothing to do with Nate. But, Jamie was still yelling.

"I said stop it!" She screamed and raised both arms up. Concurrently, Nate stopped. His hands got crooked and his neck bent, his body arched to the side and his tongue stuck out. Levi looked at Jamie from the ground he was flung to, it seemed she was controlling him, how?

Nate was raised above the ground as he groaned in pain. "I said stop," Jamie said again calmly, unlike how she was screaming just before. Her hands twisting and Nate's body obeying it's movement, it was a scary feat.

She suddenly let go and Nate dropped to the ground, he gave a moan of relief like he was in utmost pain. He was in utmost pain! 

No time to waste, Levi rushed to Abby and cupped her head into his arms. She let out gentle sounds, trying to breathe and not drown in her blood. "It's alright, it's alright, you're alright." Levi caressed her face, wiping away the blood from her features. He looked back at the team, "Someone help me here!"

The rest of the team were still stunned, none of them could move. Loras dead, their hope of survival gone, now this. Paige was panicking heavily while Brody was still as a statue. Box was already on the lookout for any oncoming creatures and Jamie had run away deeper into the south, crying for who knows what? Was this the end for them? So quick?

Levi returned his attention to Abby, who was wheezing and gasping for air. She was dying. The injuries were much. The shadows casted by the flames beamed on them, the gentle wind waving their hair to the left. This was not the way to go. Abby tried to say something but she could only sputter out blood. Who was this Komiko that was worth all this?! Levi cursed out loudly. Not Abby please, he begged.
