Chapter 28 - Chapter 23: A Revenant

Joe's POV

"Shit..." I cursed himself realizing I can't use my Pyrokinesis without destroying the rejuvenating agent inside it. "Shit that thing is just growing more tentacles," I shouted. "That rejuvenating agent is the cause of it."

"Then I will go ahead and let the creature eat me so I can get the rejuvenating agent and then we can finish it off," Vic said. "Use your pyrokinesis to distract it."

I nodded my head, saying no more. As I ran up to the thing, I charged my fire into my weapon and gave it a taste of my firepower. It looks like it can rejuvenate from even Flame-based attacks and cold ain't making a dent in it but I gotta keep it busy until my boy gets that agent. Okay... Do you want to play?

"YOU WANT TO FUCK WITH ME?!" I shouted louder as my eyes lit up with fire.

I set my weapons to overheat so I can fire that overgrown ass of a plant. But damn that thing is regenerating quicker than my aunt's mashed potato-like I ain't making a dent of the thing.

Then suddenly, I saw a sword poke upward on its head and began cutting on it. As it struggles to close up on the wound, my boy is carving him like a slab of plant meat. As I walked over, I noticed his ass was covered in goo.

"Did you get it?" I asked. "Where is the agent?"

"Didn't get it, it was empty, Joe. I thought the plant had it," he said but I was pissed that he messed up.

"Yo, man... YOU LOST THE DAMN THING?!" I shouted.

"Well, hey. You seem to agree with the idea of sending me there, maybe you should have gone in there yourself!" he snapped back. "Perhaps, you would have ended up as digestion to the damn thing."

"You know, man... I'm about to pop your ass." I set my fist on fire which Vector coated his in ice.

"Hey guys, you got the rejuvenating agent?" Skip said to both of us. "Sakura & Jenny are still on the basement level, they may need some help."

As much as I want to kick Vic's ass, I noticed something on the corner of my eyes from that overgrown plant that I need to check. So...

"Yeah we got it, we'll meet with you first," I said but needed time to look at that plant.

"Okay, we'll meet at the Scilab on the 4th floor, hurry back, guys." Skip said to both us before cutting contact.

"You realize you lied to Skip about the formula?" Victor said.

"Go on, get your ass out here. I ain't in no mood for your shit, gonna see I can salvage this shit." I waved him off.

"Whatever, Hothead," he said as he left.

Where is the Rejuvenating agent?

Okay, I went over to check the plant for the agent for that serum, otherwise, you might as well make kool-aid for our Turning our ass for the infection party. But man, it's not there anymore, maybe that plant didn't have that shit in it anymore.

"Of course it is not here!" a female voice said to me from behind.

"Who the-?" a woman grabbed me before I could say anything.

Sakura's POV

Jenny-chan... that Monster...how could it keep coming back?! No matter how many times we try to destroy it, it just keeps coming back, becoming stronger in the process. Tried as I could, it can even resist gravity or any attempt trying to attack it head-on.

Jenny-chan has taken the brunt of its last attack that knocked her out cold, it can even resist reality-warping abilities. My nose is bleeding from overusing my Telekinesis and PSI but that thing will kill us both if we try to run now but it's getting too powerful to fight as well. What we can do against it, just destroying it will just make it stronger in the long run. I took Jenny-chan and ran toward the corner trying to keep her safe, now it's my turn to save you as I used my tissue for my nosebleed.

It ... Reminds me of my past situation when I was young and I had little control over my abilities. The people that helped me gain control over them and my life. As the creature turned in my direction, I stood to make my last stand against it, hoping whatever I can do much damage upon it would at least buy us some time to escape or Jenny-chan, rather.

I would give my life to protect Jenny-chan, but it was better than doing nothing, Let the battle commence!

I took Jenny with me, ignoring the bleeding from my nose, and hid Jenny away from the monsters that seek to kill her. I charge at the monster, reducing gravity to objects at the beast to finish it up off. It... It worked! No ... it vanished... It keeps coming back. Is it invincible, or rather...?

"Sakura..." a menacing voice whisper. "You... Discord...!" I turned to see that the creature survived my attacks, my heart sinks as I saw the creature remain unharmed.

"You... Couldn't... Cannot..." it spoke to me in my mind. "Stop... Unity... Bring... Peace."

"What?" I spoke back.

"Destroy... Sakura... ELIMINATE!!!" it shouted as it sent images in my mind, I clenched my teeth in pain and I saw flashback of my father that left me, my uncle died of alcohol poisoning.

The monster... is bring up my past, it was reminding me of the pain I felt when I was young.

"Destroy..." it said as it brought up a memory that I would wish to forget...

"Oh look, there is the mute, little freak" a girl said to me, as I tried to get to class. "Where are ya, going mute?" as she shoved me to the floor, dropping the books I had in my arms as the students laughed at my misfortune.

Tears fell as the monster brought up painful memories of that event... The event would trigger my gravitational powers.

"Aww, what's matter?" the girl asked as she kicked me. "You going to cry for mommy and daddy? Oh wait, you can't ... You can't even speak!" she laughed.

I tried to point to her I can't speak, but they didn't care.

"What is that, she making threats?" another girl said, misinterpreting my sign language as a threat.

"Oh, so now she is being a tough girl, huh?" the girl smiled. It was not the good kind. I knew this would not end well, and there was no teacher on sight to help.

"Get her!" she yelled.

As I recall it, the anger from my worse memory was enough to fire back, and I launched my powerful burst of manipulating gravity. Instead of raising or lowering where I know the creature can resist the attempt, I applied to myself. The monster, however, had a trick upon its sleeve...

"Get... her...!" it said as it conjures images of the bullies during high school, much to my horror.

Now I remember. When the girls gang up and beat on me because I was mute and undesirable, even the boys at school didn't stop it as they were cheering them on as they were beating me up. Crying that no one even cared about me and they were cheering on my tormentors as they left me at their mercy without to help me. However, after an while, the leader grabbed by the collar by then. My power manifested before she got back to punching me.

My power... has altered the gravity in the area, everyone except me were being affected, most people started floating around while my tormentors were almost instantly tossed into the air and they...

"You freak!" one image said to me as he threw rocks at me. I block my rocks as they hit my arms.

"You don't belong here!" another image accused me, throwing rocks at me.

"Go back the way you came, freak!" another said, hurling rocks and insults.

"Yeah, go back, you freak! No want wants you here!" another said.

Enough! With one move, I gather the rocks that the images threw at me and combined them into one enormous pile; I threw it back at the monster and it perished.

By now, I noticed that the monster keeps coming back and I cannot continue fighting it off forever. It is somehow getting stronger every time I destroy it and then suddenly reappeared as if nothing... can damage it. What can I do?!

To Kill a PSI-Revenant

"Sakura!" Skip called to me.

"Skip- Senpai!" I said to him in my mind. "We are kind of busy and we are-"

"I know. You are fighting a Revenant," he said to me. What? "That creature that you are fighting is not real, is a false projection of its real body. You need to find the brain in order to destroy it permanently."

"It's brain?!'' I said while the monster reappeared and dodging its powerful attacks, grabbing Jenny-chan to take her out of harm's way.

"Yes, the brain! The revenant is invincible; every time that you destroy the projection, it will get stronger and deadlier in the process. Destroying it with its brain intact will only make it disappear, only to return like nothing you did short of the kitchen sink ." he said to me while it continues to fire powerful lasers in an attempt to kill us both of us.

Now it is clear what I need to do, it will not stop until it's the brain is destroyed. "The brain is not far from here is it?" I asked him. I must act quickly or that monster will succeed in killing us both.

"That's correct! The brain would be hidden in a container, box, or a place where you do not expect."

I wasted no time seeking out the brain to destroy it and eventually found the brain in a plant pot. Really... A plant pot, hidden in pot soil? I ripped out the brain from the soil and shot the brain with my pistol and Stomp on it to turn it into a pile of mush. Its roar was being heard throughout the hallway and I continued to stomp harder on it for good measure to ensure it won't be returning. It teleported toward the brain's destruction to attack me...

"Fall! You fucking beast..." someone said. "Fall again! Fall until you can't fall anymore..." now is my chance! While it was distracted, I quickly fired an entire clip, hitting it where blood is pouring out from it. In its death throes, it began to scream louder, wailing at its fate. "Fall... And feed the earth!!" a gigantic hand of earth and plants appeared behind Jenny-chan and slammed it down hard on the Revenant, made it explode into a chunk of blood and mass.

I grabbed her: Jenny-chan, I got you.

"Yeah.." she weakly said. "I'm all right, Sakura. But what was that thing?" she asked.

I simply said: It kept appearing, all I have to is to destroy it's fucking brain so it cannot keep coming back. Skip-Senpai helped defeat it.

"That lover boy..." she had a grin on his face. "Guess we gotta go back to the Scilab let them know that we got what we needed." I nodded.
