Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

* Vicetone ft. Kat Nestel - Nothing Stopping Me *

Seeing that Raven was about to engage in a serious battle against the dark haired girl, Zeru and Aella wanted to help her. After all, hey both knew how powerful she was.

However, just as they tried crossing the white barrier that was set up by Raven, they got repelled backwards, gently of course.

Staring at each other, they both cursed under their breaths. They understood that they were weak in comparison to the girl, but they knew that Raven wasn't in a better situation.

'Why is she trying to keep us away?' Zeru asked himself with an angry expression. 'This is rather devastating. Are we supposed to watch her suffer against that monster alone without helping her?'

If anything, from what he could tell, himself and Aella were much higher than her in terms of rank and energy capacity.

However, what he didn't know was that Raven had the help of other beings that could put the strongest rankers on Earth to shame, if any manages to survive a sneeze that is.

Sighing softly, Aella tapped Zeru on the shoulder and smiled, "I am in the same boat as you, I want to help her more than anything else.

"However, if she has decided that we're better off being inside this barrier, then I give her my full trust." With that she relaxed and let her aura calm down. "Please remember who she actually is… we wouldn't be here today without her help."

The two pink lightning bolts under her eyes disappeared as she sat down on the ground, and started to observe Raven quietly.

Seeing that, Zeru sighed and did the same, letting go of his dark cyan mask and relaxing his aura.

Seeing the system notifications flash in her mind, Raven understood that Kayla was just giving her a quick update. A quick and rather important update.

Smiling softly at Kayla who had adopted a serious look on her face while activating almost every skill they both had, Raven patted her head to calm her down.

'I will avenge Maya,' she muttered in Raven's mind, tears threatening to leak from her dark purple eyes.

While she hasn't known her for long, she knew how precious Maya was to Raven's heart and she knew how traumatised she actually was. 

Even during their little interactions every now and then, she admired how brave little Maya was. To see that she was gone now… Kayla was heartbroken, to say the least.

However, from her perspective, it was also her failure that Maya had passed away. If she had encouraged Raven to go check on her family when she had that dreaded feeling, instead of waiting for the next morning…

'Maybe Maya and baby Rituxi would have still been alive now…' she muttered to herself. 'Only if I have-'

'Hey, it's not your fault,' Raven said calmly while taking a deep breath. 'Many things could have been done differently to prevent this, however, we can't reverse back time. 

'All we could do now is to deliver the appropriate punishment.' Raven said with a sad expression. 'The least I could do for Maya and baby Rituxi is to avenge their deaths…'

'Uhm, don't overthink the possible scenarios that could have happened,' Tu added. 'You are here at this point in time now, just focus on the present.

'On a side note,' at that Tu got serious while turning towards Raven. 'Your body will collapse in a few minutes, so you better get this over with quickly. 

'Right now, you're in possession of more power than this planet has ever been exposed to. 

'Needless to say, you will need to control your output accordingly so as not to permanently damage it. And more importantly, you need to deal with that girl as if she's your equal.

'Believe it or not, even though she's not aware of it yet herself, she has the power to stand in your way.' he narrowed his eyes as he was feeling the dark power brewing within her body, in the distance.

"Uhm," Raven nodded while adopting a cold yet serious look on her face. Focusing back on the real world, she took a deep breath to calm her racing heart.

'Maya… I hope we can meet one day. If not in this life due to a miracle, then maybe in another. 

'When we do, I promise you that I'll keep you in my eyes and protect you with my heart.' she thought while grabbing the floating crimson claymore in front of her and wrapping her hands around its handle tightly.

Taking another deep breath, she smiled in respect to Maya before a cold expression surfaced across her face.

"Alright, shall we begin?" She asked in a rhetorical manner as she disappeared from her spot.
