Slowly, in a steady trickle, Cody could feel his energy being sapped. He wasn't truly worried, as long as he had contact with light, he’d be fine. He wasn’t foolish, however, he knew that that meant one of the twins was attacking him in a vicious mental assault, and he turned his mind to that. 

Light began to flow over his hand, in a thickening glove, before rolling into a ball. She’d be in the ground, her brother would make sure that she was safe. So he’d just have to go to her. He struggled against her mental assault, knowing that it was only his abilities that were keeping him from being ripped apart. 

“Don’t make me do this” He whispered, before he slammed his fist into the ground, unleashing the stored up energy of the light, the power of it, into the ground. He did it again and again, tears stinging his eyes, as the pain grew steadily worse. He shook, shuddering against each impact, tears rolling down his cheeks freely after a moment. 

He knew what he could do.. What he could do to put an end to this… but there were too many innocent people around… he couldn’t do it… 

“Please… “

He continued his assault, knowing he would until his dying breath. Even if it was only a few seconds away.
