They arrived at the scene, seeing monsters morphed in strange, twisted shapes attack the locals. They seemed to be waiting for something, or someone.
Lilly gasped and yelled. "Off him!" As the two saw a man about to be eaten by these strange monsters. She summoned a magical ball with a light blue glow, she fired a small bolt, making it fall back to it's little group somewhere else.
"You ok?" Aster ran up to them and asked.
"Yeah, thanks to you..." He sounded grateful.
"What are these things?" Aster looked about.
"They just came from nowhere, like somebody summoned them!" He exclaimed.
"We should look into this.." He said to Lily. "Thanks for the information sir!"
Lily nodded and they headed off.
"We have to stop this!" Lily said as she ran after him.
"I agree! Let's eliminate them!" Aster exclaimed.
They ran into a horde of three, eyes on their elongated bodies, short or midly long, like centipedes, tongues lolling widly and sometimes with hands of all colours.
Aster slashed the tongue of one off, it screamed wildly and tried to attack!
He was brought to the floor as he was about to be beaten into the ground, flat as a pancake, Lily fired a bolt into its body, as it exploded, killing it.
They managed to kill most in the ones that were in the area, others fled somewhere in the wilderness.
Suddenly, a building collapsed!
Lilly didn't say anything, just rushed forwards. Aster followed.
"Hello?" She called as the approached the burning house, support beams crumbled and desperate cries sounded.
She wasted little to no time, running in and blasting the flames and support beams away before laying eyes on two familiar figures.
Her aunt and uncle, the only ones that loved her for...Her...
"Aunty, Uncle!" She tried to move the beams but her uncle grabbed her hand.
"No...it's our time... my dear." He smiled weakly, as the house collapsed more.
She began to sob, collapsing onto the ground in tears.
Minutes Before:
The couple stumbled, a metallic taste in their mouths as they struggled out of their living room. The small wooden house, with plenty for the old couples living, was ablaze suddenly, like somebody set it on fire.
"C'mon Hun..." The man guided his wife to the door, and just as they were on the left side of the door just as a girl appeared.
The woman herself wore a suit that finished at the waist, it had a cape that covered the left (Left handed peoples left) of her body, with a cleavage window only visible on the right, the suit had a black material, silk. She also wore black leggings with a criss-cross pattern on it. Her heels clacked as she walked, her hair in a little ponytail, a clump hair on her left, and a small ponytail in the back of her hair. Her eyes were purple.
"Humans...your time has come..." The girl whispered, cackling as she raised her hand, as a giant support beam fell on them, the couple gasped in agony, as she walked off.
20 years earlier.
"Where's mmy mummy and daddy?" The girl asked, eyes glittering with wonder.
"They aren't here...on a vacation, eh?" He touched her nose.
The couple hugged her in a tight embrace, a silent promise of love and safety between them.
"Always stay true to yourself..."
Present.
"Always stay true to yourself..."
"No! Let me help!" She sobbed even more.
"Hunny...let us go...you have a mission, I'm sure of it..." Lilly now held their hand and couldn't do anything but watch as they passed away, eyes closing, one word they uttered:
"We Love you, Lily, stay true to yourself."
She sobbed more and more, her breath hitching. "No no no..." She stood up, trying to stop crying. "Aster....I-" She Broke out into tears, Aster only hugged her.
The house buckled and cracked, as it fell on the two...
