Trinity

"Let's get a move on now, Trinity. We have work to do and then you have to get home." There was a look of sorrow filling Edmond's eyes right then. I could tell that he was a little upset that he wouldn't be going with me when I left.
"Yeah, let's go." I tried to not let his words, or his sorrow, affect me. Like he said, we had work to be doing.
Edmond took the lead at first, like he had done before when we removed the last two heads. Edmond had cut the heads off from the body and then I cauterized them so that they wouldn't grow back. That method had worked just fine for us at the time, probably because I wasn't used to fighting with my father like that. And I still wasn't.
But no matter what I was feeling right now, I needed to take charge. I needed to be in the lead so that I could command this fight. That was the simple truth of it. Being in the lead was not the same thing as taking it all on myself. It just meant that I was in charge of the people helping me and not the other way around.
So, with Edmond running along the side of the hall and toward the whirlwind that Hekate was still spinning around us all, I put on a burst of speed and leapt in front of him. He didn't say anything to me about it. And I didn't sense that he had stopped running. He just continued on as he had been, no changes at all. I was glad to see that he wasn't trying to fight me for control and dominance right now.
"Edmond, I am going to climb the wall, you distract her with various attacks. You probably won't make it through the wind wall, but just keep her focused on you." I whispered the words to him, hoping that Hekate hadn't heard them at all.
"Got it. And be careful, Trinity. I don't want you getting hurt."
"Don't worry. I will be. And you be careful too, Edmond."
After I said that, I started to create platforms that were taking me up the side of the hall and toward Hekate's head. Edmond continued forward and started to shoot dark purple balls at her feet. The balls would spin around her and then crash into her toes. I watched them out of the corner of my eye as I ran up the side of the wall. This trip was longer than it should have been since Hekate was flying, or hovering, in the air.
I wasn't able to focus on Edmond for too much longer though. I was almost to the top of the hall. I was almost to where Hekate was waiting for me. It was almost time for me to make my move.
I needed to figure out where I was going to hit the dragon. I needed to figure out where the most vulnerable spot might be. This would all go a lot more smoothly if I had a concrete plan in place before I went to attack her. I didn't want to fuck this up.
There, that would be the right place. I was about maybe three or four platforms away from being able to attack Hekate. Since I was closer now, and able to look at her more intently, I was able to find the perfect place to put my blade.
There, between her shoulder blades, just below the base of her neck, was what looked like a very tender spot of flesh. That spot right there should sever the dragon bitch's spine and leave her defenseless for me to chop off her head. It was perfect. And I just knew that it was going to work.

Trinity and Edmond were working together right now. One of them was being the distraction while the other one was about to make the final blow that would hopefully end all of this hell.
I could feel the excitement growing inside of me and the others. We were waiting, anticipating that final hit. That final blow that would remove the Hydra's last head. This was it. Come on, Trinity, let's go.
And while I was internally cheering for her, while I was waiting for it all to end, I saw something that Trinity hadn't seemed to notice. None of us had noticed it until that moment.
Right there, floating just about Hekate's head, was a giant blade made out of water and ice. Actually, it wasn't just one blade, there were dozens of them. The blades looked lethally sharp and like they could cut through anything.
There was something else about those blades. Something that was giving me the creeps. It had to do with the color that the blades were. They weren't white or blue, like water should have been. No, these blades looked like they were a sickly looking greenish color. It was a color that, to me, spoke of poison and death. Were these poisonous blades? Were these something that could kill without even trying?
I hoped and prayed that that thought wasn't true, but I had a feeling that my prayers were not going to be answered. There was something totally wrong here. Trinity needed to watch out for those icy water blades. She needed to be on guard.
"TRINITY! BE CAREFUL! SHE HAS A WEAPON! WATCH OUT FOR THOSE BLADES, TRINITY! LOOK UP! LOOK ABOVE HEKATE! WATCH WHAT SHE IS DOING!" I wanted to let her know, she had seemed like she had heard what I was trying to say to her last time, so this time shouldn't be any different right? She should still be able to hear me, right? Well, I sure hoped so. I didn't want my Little Bunny or anyone other than Hekate to be hurt at all. She deserved to die, but none of the others did. Trinity, the triplets Zachary, Zander and Zayden, my Little Bunny's friends Rudy and Alexio, even Edmond. All of those people needed to be kept safe, and those didn't look safe for anyone there.
"LOOK UP, TRINITY!" Noah started to scream at her.
"LOOK! SEE WHAT SHE HAS THERE! LOOK UP, DAMMIT!" Trevor came next.
"COME ON, PAY ATTENTION! SHE'S BEEN PLOTTING AND PLANNING FOR A LONG TIME! GO ON AND LOOK UP! LOOK UP!" Valerian also wanted to warn her.
After we all called out to her individually, we all started to chant the same thing over and over again.
"LOOK UP! LOOK UP! LOOK UP! LOOK UP! COME ON, TRINITY, LOOK UP! LOOK UP! PLEASE, JUST LOOK UP!" It wasn't all word for word, but that was mostly what we were each saying at the same time. And we weren't stopping because my Little Bunny still hadn't looked up. She was just getting into position to attack the dragon while Edmond distracted the damned thing. Or so he thought that he was distracting it. I had a feeling that Hekate was just messing with them and pretending to be paying attention to him.
"LOOK UP! LOOK UP, TRINITY! LOOK UP!" I called out the words once more, hoping that she would finally hear me. "DAMMIT, LOOK UP!
