Aminon looked from Kalib to the Imperial Guard's bodies and she froze when she noticed the spiders spinning a thin web cocoon around them. When she turned back she saw Kalib getting thrown across the room. She galloped at Acsion but he just tossed her across the room straight into Kalib causing him to groan.
"I didn't even see him." Aminon coughed.
"Stay here then, I'm not going to let you get killed." Kalib told her.
"Fuck that shit, he killed my parents so I'm going to run his face into a pool of lava." Aminon hissed.
"Let me access his abilities first, if I can do that then you'll be able to join." Kalib told her.
Aminon huffed before waving him off. He chuckled before disappearing in a howling wind and slammed into Acsion who kicked him away easily. Kalib landed on his feet softly on his feet and shot at Acsion again a few more times before he finally landed a punch straight to Acsion abdomen which made him grunt painfully. He reappeared beside Aminon and she saw how a scratch on the side of his face heal right before her eyes.
"Are you in the mood for a show of brute force?" Kalib asked her.
"Of course." Aminon said with a slight grin.
Kalib held out his hoof and she gingerly took it and felt a jolt of electricity shoot through her body for a second and then she felt a warm feeling radiate through her chest.
"Now you now have the ability of wind speed." Kalib told her. "He isn't really too quick, but he can project solid clones to block our attacks."
They both launched themselves at Acsion and when Aminon looked at Kalib she saw that even though she could see him he was still a blur. He was also Acsion's main focus and that angered her slightly, but before she could do anything else Acsion swatted them to the side and chuckled.
"The girl I didn't expect much from she was weak from the beginning, but my own son?" Acsion asked them. "Pitiful."
Aminon just looked from Acsion to Kalib but before she could say anything Kalib disappeared again not leaving a trace that he had even been there. He picked Acsion and shot upward, when he flipped over and rocketed back down easily breaking the sound barrier. Kalib slammed into the ground creating a crater with a seven foot radius. He climbed out a crater and Aminon glared at him.
"I did know he was my father, I promise." Kalib told her.
"I've had people make promises to me and they've always fallen through and I despise when people lie to ne." Aminon told him.
"Well I never go back on my word and I've never lie." Kalib told her. "It makes my life hell but its what I do."
"I still don't trust you completely." Aminon told him.
"I respect that." Kalib replied.
"All this mushy shit pisses me off, just stand still so that I can kill you." Acsion told them as he climbed out of the hole.
Kalib sighed but before he could leave Aminon stopped him.
"You are not leaving me out of this you little shit." Aminon told him.
"I would never think of that, but he killed nine Imperial Guards and he can create physical clones." Kalib told her.
"I don't give a damn, he killed my parents so I'm going to kill him." Aminon shouted.
Kalib grinned as he gently rested his hooves on her shoulders.
"Then let's kill the bastard." Kalib chuckled before disappearing again.
Aminon disappeared after him and they slammed into Acsion punching and kicking and with their combined force they managed to push Acsion a foot or two but when he threw them back once again.
"Come on now you two can do better then that." Acsion told them. "Those nine Guards did a lot better."
Kalib pulled Aminon to the side behind cover of a half-wall and looked at her.
"We have to think of something quickly." Kalib told her.
"Really? Would've never have figured that out." Aminon replied sarcastically.
"I'm quick enough to deplete his energy and you can kill him." Kalib told her before handing her a sword.
Aminon nodded but before he leapt over the half wall she stopped him.
"Be careful." Aminon told him.
"You worried about me?" Kalib asked her.
"What, no, I'm not touching where those spiders were and I'm not going to carry them myself." Aminon replied.
Kalib nodded before leaping over the wall and galloping around Acsion without taking a breath. Aminon watched from behind the wall and tracked Kalib's movement with a slight degree of difficulty. She watched as Kalib created a small tornado that lifted Acsion off the floor and she took a deep breath before galloping into it. She cut through any clones Acsion sent after her and when she got close enough she sank to the sword into his chest, twisting it violently. Aminon felt herself being lowered and while she landed softly Acsion's dead body fell with a thud. She felt the adrenaline drain from her muscles and she felt Kalib catch her. The lasts thing she remembered was that she had a smile plastered on her face.
