Bella barely dodged the streetlamp, a gust of wind pushing her aside just in time. She rolled across the ground, quickly got back on her feet, panting, and stared at Morgane with a mix of disbelief and sadness.
— Morgane! Snap out of it, this isn't you!
Morgane let out a chilling laugh, her eyes glowing with a terrifying dark energy.
— Snap out of what, Bella? This is all your fault! That role should have been mine, not yours!
With a sharp motion, she extended her hand, and scattered metal shards from the street lifted into the air, shooting toward Bella. Bella summoned a spiral of wind, creating a shield that deflected the projectiles around her.
— You're wrong! Bella shouted, determination shining in her eyes. It's not me you're fighting. It's your pride, your jealousy… and the spirit that's controlling you!
But Morgane refused to listen. The objects around them trembled under her telekinetic power, and the dimly lit street became heavy with an oppressive tension.
— Enough! Morgane screamed, raising her arms.
A wave of dark energy crashed onto Bella, slamming her violently against a wall. Pain shot through her back, but she gritted her teeth and stood up again.
— Alright… If I have to fight to stop you, then I will.
The winds around Bella intensified. She raised her hands, sending a powerful gust toward Morgane, forcing her to step back. The battle escalated, attacks flying back and forth. Morgane used her telekinesis to manipulate objects, turning them into deadly projectiles, while Bella countered with whirlwinds and razor-sharp air blades.
Morgane seemed to have the upper hand, her rage fueling her powers. She managed to trap Bella under a pile of debris, leaving her breathless and weakened.
— See, Bella? You're nothing without your little act of perfection! Morgane sneered, stepping closer with a cruel smile.
Trapped, Bella felt her heart tighten.
— This isn't you speaking, Morgane… You're just a puppet in the hands of a dark force.
— Shut up! Morgane screamed, raising her arms once more.
The debris covering Bella began to vibrate, but before they could crush her, Bella unleashed a powerful burst of wind, breaking free with difficulty.
Furious, Morgane lunged at her, grabbing her by the throat and lifting her with unnatural strength. Bella struggled, but the air was slipping away from her lungs.
— It's over for you, Bella… Morgane whispered, a manic smile on her face.
As Bella felt her strength fading, a brilliant light erupted from her mark. Her eyes shone with an intense glow, and luminous patterns appeared on her body. Her hair, lifted by an invisible energy, took on a radiant hue—the very essence of her element.
A shockwave of power exploded from her, throwing Morgane backward. Bella gently landed on the ground, her feet barely touching it, as a violent wind swirled around her.
— By the winds of truth and purity, Bella murmured, extending her hands.
A sphere of shimmering air began to form between her palms. Morgane, panicking, tried to retaliate with another wave of dark energy, but her attacks were effortlessly swept away by Bella's light.
— Let the darkness be dispelled, and the soul find peace! Bella cried, launching the sphere toward Morgane.
Light engulfed the street, surrounding Morgane and the dark spirit possessing her. A shriek of agony filled the air as a shadow separated from Morgane, disintegrating with a final, piercing scream.
When the light faded, Morgane collapsed, unconscious. Bella landed back on the ground, her legs trembling, panting. She placed a hand on her chest, struggling to catch her breath, and gazed at Morgane's motionless form, her mind troubled by everything that had just happened.
