I dont own diddly...or trigun either..
Layne gulped as she finished with the last row of plants.....the tension was mounting up.....she would have to face him soon.
Everyone else waited in the fore cave, Layne had demanded she do this alone, and she had gotten her way...despite many protestors.The last plant slowly made her way to the front, but Layne stayed. Nothing had happend....Grayfall and Zachs mothers werent anywhere..........Layne was about to just give up and walk up front.....until a glimmer from behind caught her eye. Eyes widening she walked behind the last row of plants to see a large raised pedestal. 3 plant bulbs on it.
On a red haired woman, the middle a mand that looked like Knives, and the other woman an auburn haired lady. Layne gasped in shock, finding her legs moving up the stairs. This was it. She was going to free them and face her nemisis......Maximus........ She shuddered involuntarily as she placed either hand on the womens bulbs, this was little trick she had learned the other day.
There was a faint pulse and the two women came out of the bulbs, blinking owlishly before smiling at Layne.
"Thankyou,...." they croaked, pained looks coming to their faces. Layne put an arm around them and helped them limp to the front. Layne cried out as she hit what felt like a wall.The other two women passed through and then looked back with a gasp and tried to come and get here, but were sent hurtling back with a scream. At the scream the others came running, Grayfall and knives gasping before picking their loves up and hugging them. For a while no one noticed Layne.Everyones backs were turned, hugging the MIA women fiercly. Even Grayfall didnt notice she was missing till a hand clamped on her shoulder and Layne screeched.
Grayfall was the first to turn around ,eyes going wide. Maximus had Layne in his grasp, smirking like a maniac. A shimery barrier seperated them, but none noticed until Vash and Knives ran into the barrier, being knocked out cold.Layne screamed but no one could come any closer.
"So....it all comes down to this Lady Layne,"Maximus said in a singsong voice, batting away her sad excuse for a power hurling at him like a cat does to a fly.It was then that Layne panicked. She couldnt do this...she was too weak...all the humans would die...it would be her fault.
Maximus was chasing her around the bulbs, toying with her before the real show. It was then when something hit Layne like a ton of bricks.A memory long since lost in the streams of time.
********flash back********
A little 5 year old Lorienth was playing in the front yard, bigger Layne picking on her. Their mother had gone to the store so Layne could get away with it now. Grinning she wrestled Lorienth to the ground and scrapin her up. Lorienth cried loudly too.
"Shut up you stupid cry baby," Layne taunted, stickin her tongue out.Lorienth managed to struggle up angrily and push Layne back, but the blonde just laughed and sent her flying back. Lorienth flew back and landed on a rocky out crop, arm splintering and head hitting a rock, knocking her senseless a few minutes before she started to cry. Layne ran ove to her smaller sister, panicking at the blood and dirt everywhere. Her mother was going to kill her.
"Hush Lorienth, hush!" Layne hissed, in her panic. The dark haired girl continued to wail, and Layne grew desperate. Something clicked in the back of her mind and a bright white light came from her body, surrouding Lorienth and healing her.......well mostly.... Lorienth stopped crying and glared at her taller but younger sister.
"Im telling mommy!" Lorienth yelled in her anger. Layne panicked.
"No dont tell Mommy! She'll spank me hard!"Layne pleaded. Lorienth frowned but nodded.
"Fine I wont tell Mommy...." she murmered. Layne sighed in relief before someone spoke behind her.
"Wont tell mommy what?"
********************************************
Layne was jolted back to reality as she almost crashed into a plant bulb. She was smiling of sorts. She remembered that memory very clearly now. In the end she had ended up punished anyways and had to stay in her room for a week among other things. But more important was what she learned in that week. She had learned how to control the white light and stretch it, she could make it hurt things....shed killed a couple birds.
Over the years she had practiced and gotten so advanced she could kill if she needed to. Layne thanked God for that punishment now and made a mental note to thank her mother later.
Turning back and bracing her back against a bulb, Layne unleashed some of that power, hitting at Maximus with it. He was caught unwares and thrown backwards, doing somersaults in the air and smashing into a wall. Of course he got up, glaring angrily.
"Now now. Dont make me have to punish you any more Layne," he said in a reprocing tone, eyes glowing ice blue.Layne floated in the air, body wracked with pain. It felt like she was being struck with a flat edge of a sword over and over, all over her body. Screeching she broke free, hurlint some more of the light at Maximus' power and meeting it, the power being caught in a breif power struggle before Layne was pitched back.
It kept on like this but Layne wouldnt give up. She couldnt lose to this freak.There was no way. Summoning more of her whithering strength Layne hurled it at him again, kicking him in the stomach and flipping back, mentally cheering as he went hurtling back into the wall head first, crashign into it and not getting up. After a few minutes Layne walked over tentaivley to see if she had won.
There was an insaned chuckle as Maximus rose up from the rubble a few feet away, waving a hand and swatting Layne across the way like nothing. He was grinning, coming towards her between her and the shield.
It was then that Layne realized that Maximus was toying with her and she couldnt win. She needed help....fast..... An idea caught in her brain and she summoned all that was left of her power, raising a hand and aiming for Maximus' head. It went hurtling towards him and he just tilted his head, letting it zoom on by and into the barrier, which disintergrated. Maximus took no notice of that now though.He was chuckling like a mad man........
Layne looked at him with horror.it was hard to believe that this was a 10 year old little boy. Layne grimaced and stood up from the rubble. She was ready now, she could do this. She would deflect his own attack at him beofre it got to her. The others were running towards her now, but they would not make it.
"So, youthought that pathetic little attack could stop me huh? Fat chance, your nothing compared to me....its a pity though you coulda been so much more....oh well....time for you to die so the plants can have Eden," he said in a calm voice. Layne gulped and was frozen in mid air, Max holding her there like a plaything.
'I cant move...' she though panickedly as Max allowed the angel arm to over take his left arm, right one holding her in place.
'Im going to die,....oh my God!' Layne was fully panicked now, fighting against the bonds to no avail. Tears stung in her eyes as Maximus gathered the energy for the Angel Arm.
' I can't believe this is the end....' A full length memory of everything she had been through passed through her mind. Pictures of her friends and new found family. Her fist kiss....all the scrapes she had been through. Tears poured down her face but she didnt check them. Vaguely she could hear someone shouting in the backround.
Layne watched as the endergy went to full, and maximus started to release the attack. The deathblow. And suddenly, there was a loud crack and his eyes went blank, blood bubbling out of his mouth. Layne crumpled to the ground, and all was good.............until the energy discharged from the angel arm.
There were shouts, and screams, Layne just shut her eyes and prayed for God to accept her.
But now blow ever came, and when she opened her eyes there was rubble everywhere, Max's body lying there lifeless.....and then, with horror filled eyes she saw Lorienth lying there still as death, not breathing. Layne gave a strangled cry and ran to her sister's side, shaking her roughly.
"Lorienth wake up! Wake up!" she shouted. Lorienth would not wake. Layne continued screeching and shaking her sister before Vash and Knives and the others came to her, pulling her away and trying to get her to hush. Meryl had tears in her eyes as she layed a dusty sheet over her daughters body, crying and rushing to Vash afterwards. Strangely Layne did not cry.... Not when Lorienth died...not when Grayfall couldnt be found anywhere....not when they set the many broken bones in her body. She just pushed it all away. Ignoring it all, acting like nothing had happened. And no one said a thing.They just let her be. Knowing that Layne's dormant power would be spurred if the messed with her.
Omg...i cannot beleive its done.......sob......my baby is done.....*persk up* oh thats right....there is a sequel! yay! yay! Well...review and let me know how this came out......it was so much fun writing.....and i cant believe i killed Lorienth off....and Grayfalll....what happened to him......and what with Laynes strange behavior....ooooh this is like a story cliffie....ehehehehe..
