[i]”Pyre, help me warm her up!” Veggie and Pyre both stood over Wolyn’s cold, unconscious body. Veggie Shuddered with the cold, while Pyre simply let off steam with her warmth. Veggie kneeled down to Wolyn’s level and shook her. “Wolyn? Are you okay?” She sleepily opened her eyes and shuddered from the cold. “Veggie? Y-y-you c-c-c-came...” Before she can say another word she passes out again, the cold too much for her body to handle. Pyre stood over them both, watching and fuming with rage. “Pyre? Cmon help me! She’s going to die!” Pyre’s rage seemed uncontainable, and the room began to increase in temperature from her heat. “Get away from her Veggie.” She clenches her fists in anger and they begin to glow red hot. “What? Why?” She screams in anger. “I SAID MOVE VEGGIE! THIS WRETCH IS THE REASON EVERYONE I LOVED IS DEAD! My siblings, my mother, my father...ITS ALL BECAUSE OF HER!” “Pyre, calm down. We don’t know it was truly her. It could easily have been Luck manipulating her form...” Veggie grows distant for a moment before snapping back to reality. “Wake her up.” Pyre seems confused, but begins to warm her anyways. Wolyn slowly comes to her senses. “Veggie? Where are we? And who is-“ “Wolyn answer me now and quickly. What was the first thing that happened when we met? The VERY first?” Veggie’s voice has a sense of urgency, as if Pyre would attack her at any moment. “I...we were on the roof of a building talking...no, me and Robo...” She seems dazed and disillusioned, as if she can’t quite focus on her words. Veggie’s tone becomes more angry and urgent. “NOW WOLYN!” “I... AGH!” Wolyn screams out in pain as Pyre unleashes a blast of fire at Wolyn, the heat continuing to rise. Veggie looks from Pyre to Wolyn, and stands in front of Wolyn holding up Ragnorak to protect them both. His armor glows golden and white, and his eyes reflect the same fire in Pyre’s. Ragnorak glows red hot from the heat, but refuses to shatter. Pyre screams in rage at Veggie. “GET OUT OF THE WAY OR YOU’LL SUFFER HER FATE!” “No Pyre! We can stop the real enemy here, Luck! Control your rage!” “I AM RAGE!” Her fire becomes green and necrotic, and burns with a brighter intensity. Veggie stands firm and holds his ground. “And I...am Veggehtehbull, Herald of Hope.” Veggie begins walking forward, reflecting the heat back at Pyre. She increases the intensity, and Veggie slides back slightly. Vines branch out from his and wrap around his legs to strengthen them. He presses forward.[/i] [i]Veggie’s blade begins to grow white from the heat, and his body begins to burn. He heals himself slightly, but can only do so much against the incredible heat. Pyre continues to scream while unleashing her power, and Veggie continues forward until he is finally in striking range. A portion of his side has completely disintegrated at this, and one of his hands has almost disappeared. His face is burnt horribly, as if every step was a struggle. Finally, he looks Pyre in the eyes, and they glow with golden fire. “You don’t have to do this...” “YES! YES I DO!” “Then I’m sorry. I’m sorry Pyre. Goodbye, everyone...” Veggie closes his eyes, and plunges his blade into her chest, leaving himself exposed. Pyre’s fire launches up and to the right, completely evaporating his shoulder. “You...you betrayed me...” Pyre falls to the ground, dead. Veggie collapses on the wall next to her and sits himself up. Every movement forces out a scream of agony. Eventually Wolyn wakes up, and rushes over to him. “Veggie?! No no no...”[/i]
