Locked past

Mellina didn't respond but she used some shadow or darkness to block the light but looking away.

brandon was shocked but turned to Lu towering over him. but until i can get her back ill settle for blugdouning you until youre a smear on my fist. een with Lu fully powered he was no match for brandon's second level but brandon was in the third one and not holding back. sending Lu around the room like a pinball punching then punching faster.

Lu was in pain while taking in his hits before some shadows grabs him and tackles brandon down before they took him over to where Mellina was but she looked down quietly before Lu smirked with some pain. "Now do you believe me? She's mine and only m-mine now.." he held Mellina in his arms but touches her cheek. Her shadow was worried while loking to her but couldn't say anything but looked to her mother that was angry.

before maria could act brandon shattered the shadows holding him and took them as his own turning their power into an attack aimed at Lu. Brandon's own darkness was used too but his was blacker fouler and thicker than anything she ever felt before. it stuck to lu acting as a poison, genetic modifier, and an energy bomb in one. it latched to lu's body infesting and converting his energy to its own before detonating taking the energy it converted with it and chunks of Lu's body. it was weak but effective and as Lu regained his balance another flurry of fists hit him shining with light. this light burnt darkness of any kind searing it. the light was his love and devotion for Mellina.

Mellina shield her eyes while hearing lu's angry shout as he sent more demons to try and stop him.

his aura burned them up as he walked over to Lu and held his shoulder pinning him to the wall. Tell me? will your father forgive you for losing to an ape? brandons fist glows and he impacted Lu's sternum where the ribs separate crushing it to powder. the shockwae was similar to a meteor impact destroying the fortress artound them and keeping the sea at bay parting it to expose them to the sunlight.

Mellina said nothing looking to this but then looking down.

Lu knashed his teeth and clawed at the arm that held him, like a demonling (imp) but brandon instantly regenerated. and pounded him again into a portal that opened becuase of his power from the punch. he calmed down instantly but powered down holding the massive sea at bey with his mind looking normal. Mellina.. he reached out to her gently quietly and waited as the sea heaed and crashed around them in a maelstrom despite the loud sea the air was calm and warm from him. he was at balance and peace.

Mellina didn't look up but she just looked down still.

he looked to her gently but walked over looking into her eye. Melli-chan?

Mellina said nothing but just looked down more.

Mellina kept looking down hearing nothing around her but her shadow was around her body, sparkling like stars but that was just some added energy from her.

she still kept where she is but the shadow was worried, hoping he would just take her out of this place.

Brandon sighed and picked her up as the waves crash around them. he carried her like usual supporting her back and knees. he felt the same as when he was powered up but he was quiet and unmoving unless she spoke to him. the flight back was warm and he nuzzled her neck to try and lift her spirits.

The shadow kept watching but Mellina kept looking down to her lap.

"........"

he sighed but vanished to her dorm. he set her down gently and turned to walk away.

She saw him go but just turns to the side, trying to rest.

Brandon knocked the next morning holding a box of candies and fresh flowers.

She was just brushing her white hair down gently but didn't answer the door but Theo did visit to check up on her still seeing her so sad.

"You're asking her on a date?" theo asked looking at her.
