Unforeseeable Consequences

FirstPersonPerspective

I never really thought much about my... awareness... of what most would most certainly call the 'unnatural'. I had chosen a rather particular costume of layered ceramic and steel with a lacquered layer of quartz offset with obsidian inlays edged with gold.

The blade was a Damascus with a hardened quartz and gold sheath overlapping a leather sheath. My gaze scanned around, spotting a guy that looked eerily like Bryan Cranston's Zordon wearing gray edged white robes. My eyes slid around before I felt an all-too-familiar itch shoot up my spine as I shifted my weight at heavy footfalls before I saw him.

My eyes widened with surprise upon seeing a dark fog gather into the hand of the cosplayer before my eyes widened as the fog expanded and crystalized into a long blade I guessed to be roughly two and a half feet long. My hand dipped to the sheath of Saba before gripping the hilt, missing how the robed Zordon's eyebrows rose slightly over his luminous sapphire irises. With a roar, Goldar charged, though even as he did, I noticed the distinctive golden topaz flames flickering over the edge of the blade. My eyes narrowed as I pushed off, ignoring the scattering people before I blocked Goldar's slash towards a young woman who looked eerily like Thuy Trang, grunting as one knee held me from collapsing beneath his strength. I missed how arcs of golden electricity flickered down my arms towards the Morpher with its inert dimness before the glow ignited in a bright flare of light that, unfortunately, distracted me.... and cost me my life as Goldar's blade drove through my chest and out of my back. I saw a brilliant flash of mingled red and purple hit Goldar, sending him backwards with a snarl before I felt a satchel being pushed into my hands.

"You can help him. Even now, his strength wavers. I will merge your soul with his, though assimilation of his memories will take time. Give him a reason to keep fighting. May the Power protect you," I heard, the voice fading away as I distantly caught "You won't be able to..." before sight and sound faded to nothingness.
