Black Rose (Tko x Reader)

Chapter Seventeen

*incoherent screeching* I REAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYY WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENS IT LITERALLY EFFECTS EVERYTHING ANDYOUNEEDTOKNOW-

"Gonna try and fight me all alone, little Y/n? You know you can't beat me." Esmeralda said.

"I don't want to fight. I just want to talk with you." Y/n said.

"About what? I thought we went over everything." Esmeralda said.

"We went over everything we knew. But I found out something you might not know." Y/n said.

"And what is that?" Esmeralda raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not entirely sure. But I do know that my mom wants you dead for more reasons than we know. But maybe you know. Is there a time you fought or--" Y/n was cut off.

"No! Lana was perfect in every way, and I was the opposite! Lana would never want to kill me." Esmeralda said.

"Are you absolutely sure it was your father who tricked you into believing bad things about corruption? Or maybe you've just forgotten over time. Maybe it wasn't your father. Maybe it was Lana." Y/n said. Esmeralda growled.

"No! She wouldn't trick her own sister into believing that!" Esmeralda shouted.

"Are you sure? Maybe Lana knew that there would actually be a war in the future because of her dreams, just like mine. And she tried to turn you against your own people. Maybe her father only played the part he was meant to, but didn't want to trick you. Maybe, just maybe, your father wasn't the bad guy, but it was Lana." Y/n said. Esmeralda growled, the ground under her cracking and turning black.

"That's enough!" She shot ribbons at Y/n, but Y/n ducked them. She shot her own ribbons at Esmeralda's legs. They wrapped around them. She pulled her to the ground.

Esmeralda ripped the ribbons off and jumped up. She charged at Y/n, her hand turning into a sword. Y/n backed away.

Esmeralda raised her sword. Y/n squeezed her eyes shut. Just as it came down, something stopped it. Y/n opener her eyes and gasped.

Dendy had formed a shield with her technology, and the three children held it up, shielding Y/n.

"Y/n, are you okay?!" Tko asked. Y/n smiled and nodded.

"I'm fine." She said.

"Get out of the way!" Esmeralda shouted as she raised her sword and slammed it onto the shield, shattering it. The four backed away. "Give me Y/n!"

"No!" Tko yelled. She growled and shot her ribbons at them. While they tried to stop it, Esmeralda stretched her other arm and grabbed Y/n. She held her up in the air.

"You can't stop me! Just give up!" Esmeralda yelled.

"Esmeralda!" Y/n called. She ignored her, and shapeshifted her other hand into a sword. She raised it, and just as she was about to stab the children, Y/n screamed, "STOP!"

The entire surrounding turned blue, and her form glowed blue. Esmeralda dropped her to the ground. Y/n started crying.

"Stop! Just stop!" She cried as she pounded her fist on the ground. "I'll do anything, just don't hurt them!"

"Anything? Even leaving them?" Esmeralda smirked.

"Yes! Just don't hurt my friends..." Y/n said as the tears dripped off her face.

"Y/n, no! You can't leave!" Tko said, his eyes beginning to water.

"I'm sorry, Tko." She sniffed. She then winked at him, causing his eyes to widen. It was just a trick.

"Now, let's go." Esmeralda said as she led Y/n away. "Open the portal."

Y/n nodded. Her blue glow disappeared, and her hair glowed red. But Esmeralda thought this was normal. Y/n got into her stance, and just as she was about to blast, she turned to Esmeralda and shot her.

Esmeralda fell backwards. She frowned as she held her head in pain. She looked at Y/n and growled.

"You tricked me..." She said, her hand shapeshifting into a sword. She stood up and started swinging it, screaming at her. "I'm gonna kill you!"

Y/n charged at her, and Esmeralda swung her sword at her. Y/n slid under her arm and punched her leg, tripping her. Esmeralda stumbled, barely standing. She turned to Y/n and shot ribbons at her, trying to hold her still.

She got a grip on Y/n, and pulled her closer. Just as she was about to stab her, Y/n kicked her in the face and jumped away.

She made her own sword out of ribbons and launched herself at Esmeralda. They clashed swords. Esmeralda tried to swing at Y/n's side, but Y/n blocked it. She used the parry technique, and pushed Esmeralda back.

The height difference made it a bit harder for Y/n, but she managed to point the sword directly at Esmeralda's heart.

"Stop fighting me! I just want to go home!" Y/n said. Esmeralda looked down at the sword and chuckled.

"You can't kill what's already dead." She said as she stepped closer, the sword piercing her skin. "Go ahead and try to stab me. It doesn't matter. My rose is corrupted. It will eventually, over time die. Why not make it now? It'll be a lot easier for you to just kill me instead of sending me home."

Y/n's eyes widened. She looked at the sword, then at her hands. She dropped the sword, and it disappeared.

"I can't do it..." Y/n mumbled. Esmeralda grabbed Y/n's throat and lifted her into the air.

"Weak. You could've won, but instead you chose to remain happy, and not kill." Esmeralda said.

"It's not like you've killed someone..." Y/n rasped, her breath being cut off as Esmeralda tightened her grip.

"But I have, you see. I killed my own father during the war. That's why Lana ran away. Because she was afraid She would be next. She knew she couldn't win the war when she hadn't learned to use all of her powers yet, so she ran away." Esmeralda chuckled. "And now that she's dead, you're next."

Suddenly, Esmeralda was kicked in the side, causing her to drop Y/n. Esmeralda fell to the ground.

"Y/n! Are you okay?!" Tko asked as he held Y/n's face. She coughed a bit but smiled.

"I'm okay. Now it's time for me to win the fight." Y/n said. "I'm gonna cure Esmeralda's corruption."

Y/n stepped closer to Esmeralda. She stood up, and glared at Y/n. Her hand shapeshifted into a sword again, and she raised it. She swung at Y/n, but Y/n ducked. She stood up straight and looked Esmeralda dead in the eye. A four pointed white star formed under her feet as she floated into the air.

Esmeralda growled and shot ribbons at Y/n, but a force field of some sorts stopped it. Her eyes widened as she backed away.

"What's happening...?" She mumbled. Y/n reached down and placed a hand on the star. As her hand lifted, so did the star. Esmeralda froze in fear. Lifting the star was impossible for the rose people.

Y/n held the star in front of her, and it slowly started to spin. The glow it emitted got brighter as the star spinned faster. Esmeralda broke free of her trance and tried to run.

Just as she turned, the star blasted a white energy. It surrounded Esmeralda, and everything turned white.

Moments passed, and the whiteness disappeared. The energy turned black, and reverted back into the star. The star disappeared, and Y/n fell to the ground.

The last things she heard were shouts. Her vision was blurred, and she could barely see Tko, KO and Dendy surrounding Y/n. Then, a tall, pink form stood over the children.

HNNNNNNNNNN ESMERALDAAAAAAAAAA-
