Just as they were about to break through the ice wall, a massive explosion rocked the area, and a thick fog, or maybe vapor, rolled in.
"Boommmmm!" The deafening sound of the ice shattering echoed through the space.
As soon as the noise died down, everyone's eyes darted towards the source. There I stood, right in front of them, transformed into a demonic form without even realizing it.
"What was that? How did he break the ice wall?" Aunt asked, her gaze fixed on the figure emerging from the smoke.
"I don't know, Mom. I can't see anything through the smoke," Celestia replied.
As they were talking, I stepped forward, revealing myself fully. My body was surrounded by purple flames, my eyes glowed an eerie purple, and my hands had transformed into claws, crackling with purple and white fire.
"What's this? Little brother has this power? I can't sense any magic coming from him at all," Celestia exclaimed, her surprise evident as she finally stopped crying.
"Alas, what happened to you? How could you become like this?" Mom asked, her voice filled with worry as she stared at my demonic form.
"I can't detect his power either, so we need to stay alert. We'll figure out what's going on later," Aunt said, activating her ice and thunder abilities. Her hand glowed sky blue with yellow lightning crackling around it, and instantly, my entire body froze solid, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap.
"I can hold him off for a little while, but I won't be able to keep him frozen for long," Aunt warned the others. Before she could finish, the ice shattering around me exploded.
Before anyone could react, I vanished and reappeared in front of Kavya, grabbing her by the neck.
"Wait..." Celestia started, but it was too late. I already had a tight grip on Kavya.
*********
Meanwhile, the loud explosion and everyone's shouting woke up Shasha.
"What happened? What was that noise?" she thought, sitting up in bed.
"I was sleeping on Lieon's lap. Where is he? Did he put me to bed and leave?" She looked around frantically but couldn't find him.
"Something must have happened downstairs. Is he in trouble?" Panic starting to set in, she rushed towards the exit and ran down the stairs.
As soon as she reached the bottom, she was met with a shocking scene that left her mind blank.
"What's going on here?" she thought, her eyes scanning the four women. Two of them were using their powers, and the smoke had cleared, revealing a figure glowing purple.
"Is that Lieon? Why is he using his powers against his family? Something's wrong," she thought, starting to approach them cautiously. But before she could get closer, she saw Lieon's figure disappear and reappear, grabbing a girl by the neck.
"What the hell is he doing?" she thought, but before she could process anything else, she heard my voice.
"I told you mortals to leave me alone. Now you see my demonic power. It's a good thing I'm not at full strength, or you'd all be dead by now," I said, tightening my grip on Kavya's neck until she couldn't move. Her body felt completely drained of energy.
"Alas, what are you doing? She's your sister," Aunt said, her voice filled with worry as she tried to reach us.
"Don't move. If you take another step, I'll kill her," I threatened, my face hard and determined.
"Alas, how can you do this to your sister?" Mom asked, tears streaming down her face as she took a step closer.
"I told you idiot, don't move. You didn't listen. Looks like I'll have to kill her," I said with a sinister smile, raising my hand to strike her in the chest.
"No, don't!"
"Alas, stop!"
"Kavya!"
They all tried to stop me, but I ignored them, my hand moving closer and closer to Kavya's chest. Seeing that I wouldn't stop, they rushed towards me, even though they knew they couldn't do anything. But just as they were about to reach me, another sound cut through the air.
"Brother!" Kavya cried out, tears streaming down her face. Despite not being able to move her body, her voice was filled with desperation. Hearing her cry, my hand froze in mid-air.
"What? How did my hand stop? Who the hell are you, girl?" I demanded, confused and angry.
Hearing my voice, the others stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with shock.
"What? He can't move?" Celestia asked, her voice filled with surprise.
"Yeah, now's our chance to stop him," Mom said.
"No, I think Kavya can wake him up," Aunt said, understanding the situation immediately.
"What do you mean?" Celestia asked.
"Let Kavya handle this. We shouldn't interfere," Aunt suggested, looking at the others.
"But what if he hurts Kavya?" Mom asked, fear in her voice.
"We have to wait and see," Aunt replied, standing firm. Celestia nodded in agreement, while Varenassa remained silent, watching the unfolding drama.
"What's happening to my body? Why can't I move?" I shouted in frustration.
"Brother, wake up!" Kavya cried again, her tears falling freely. I glared at her, annoyed by her persistence.
"Do you really think you can stop me? No one can stop me," I said, pushing my hand forward with all my might.
"Brother, please wake up. It's me, your sister," Kavya pleaded, her voice filled with desperation. This time, my hand moved forward and pierced straight through my chest.
"What? How is that possible?" I thought to myself before losing consciousness. My grip on Kavya loosened, and she fell to the ground, regaining control of her body.
As I collapsed to the ground, my demonic form faded, leaving a gaping hole in my chest. Everyone rushed towards us, their faces filled with shock and horror.
"Alas!" Aunt cried out, rushing to my side and cradling my body in her arms.
"Little brother, why did you do this?" Celestia sobbed, kneeling down and placing her hand on my face.
Mom fainted from the shock, falling to the ground unconscious. Seeing her collapse, Aunt pulled out her phone and called an ambulance.
"Alas, what have you done?" Kavya said, her body trembling as she looked at my lifeless body.
"Celestia and Kavya, stay calm. I'm calling an ambulance. Your brother will be okay," Aunt said, leaving the room to call for help.
"Brother... Why did you do this to yourself?" Kavya sobbed, her voice filled with anguish.
"Yes, little brother, you can't leave us like this," Celestia cried, bringing her face close to mine and kissing me gently. Kavya watched the scene unfold without saying a word.
As Celestia kissed me, the hole in my chest started to glow red and slowly began to close up.
"What? He's healing himself? Is it because of big sister kissing him?" Kavya thought, watching the two of them.
"Big sister, he's healing. Don't stop kissing him," Kavya urged. Celestia continued to kiss me, her mind focused on bringing me back to life.
Meanwhile, Shasha also fainted from the shock.
