Fairy Hunter (Chance): Chapter 20

Kuh! This is harder than I anticipated. June fumble her way through the deathly music trap. Is could click his tongue, his eyes are shrewd and narrow. With a swipe of his hand the whole place rumbles with a blood curdling scream. June hold her ears, the pain is unbearable. She feel like her ears are about to explode. On top of that, one little move will cause her to stumble backwards.

She couldn’t move a single muscle, every time she did, those horrid music will burst out causing a hell of pain. June could barely breathe when the sounds stop. Her ears ring to no end and her vision stars to get blurry all of sudden. With the little energy she have left June stumble to get up, she hold Isis close to her hands waiting for a chance for a counter attack. Is feels a bit amuse, he was planning on torturing June more when a blob of water appear in his hand. The water then solidify into a communication device. It’s time already?

‘You know you’ll die in the end right’, Is nonchalantly state.

June grit her teeth, the question certainly caught her off guard. ‘So what!’, she barely snapped.

‘Your sister gonna kill you. Why are you trying so hard to love her?’, Is puts on a poker face.

‘I don’t give a damn about that stupid prophecy. I’ll create my own future!’, June shout.

‘You are enthusiastic. Just like your mother. Queen Berylya.’ June’s heart skipped a bit. Not until now did she realize that she never really knew her mother’s name. ‘You know my mother?’, June softly spoke, her grip on Isis slowly wavers as her focus is no more. All she could see is black curly hair like the universe, soft snowy skin, red plump lips and an angelic voice. Is sigh, he could only hope the black dragon will cut out this particular scene.  ‘There’s no sense in telling you the story about your mother. You’ll die in the end’.

Is cold statement causes June to feel extremely aggravated. ‘Tell me now’, she hissed. Black aura surrounds her. She could now stand fine as ever as if her wounds had disappeared. ‘Why should I?’, Is snapped. The menacing aura slowly dissipate, nevertheless June is aggravated and agitated to know the truth. She’s prone to self-awareness when something like this rubs her the wrong way. ‘I’ll do anything’, she whines like a child. She couldn’t see the sinister trick Isaac is pulling up his sleeve. ‘Even though it cost you, your dear sister life?’, Is ask mockingly.

‘I don’t give a damn about her!!’, June shout unconsciously, her desire to know have over powered her own right mind. After a few seconds, she claps her mouth. Her lips quiver when she hears something breaks inside the black room. Her eyes shake in horror after she digest what she had just utter.  ‘Imbecile, now that sister of yours is no more’. June jerk her head upwards, she grit her teeth harder than she ever does. ‘You scumbag! What have you done!’, June screech.

‘Defeat me and I’ll tell you’, a soft chuckle echoes throughout the room. ‘If you can beat me that is. You can hardly walk before getting hit with one of my chords. I wonder how, would you possibly hit me?’, Is sneered.

‘Think again! Ice secret! Tundra grounds!’, a blizzard storm hit the black room: like before, the chords are reveal one by one. ‘This again?’. June smirk when she hears Is lamenting about her tactics. ‘Just so you know, this time my surrounding is worse than before.' Isaac is baffled to hear her words, just then he realizes that snow are piling up one after another. 

'What the?', Is sweat dropped,the piling up snow isn't his concern. That's the least of it, somehow his chord is disappearing one after another. June smirk, she didn't have much time before her magic run low. 'Baffled?'.

'Tch! I let my guard down', Is murmurs. June raise her swords, 'When a sound met in contact with something soft they are basically absorb into the soft area. That's basic science', June boast. The twin sword fall to her side, 'Now! Let us fight till the very end!', with that she lurch forward. Slashing her way towards Is. Lucky for him, he summon a black note like sword just in time to block June's attack. 'Ice dragon; Breath!', a typhoon hit Is square on the body causing him to stumble backwards.

'Notorious Chords!', June scream in agony. He use one of his invincible attacks again. June close her eyes slightly, she took a deep breath, the wounds on her body multiplies as she concentrate. Once her eyes is open yet again her iris are baby blue. Slashing Isis to her side a clanking sounds can be heard. Yet again she lunge forward, Is's breath hitched. 'Notorious Chords!', he summon yet again. Even so, this time June flawlessly dodge the attack, none of it lands a blow on her.

'I told you. This time it's my playground',she hiss softly. 'It's time to finish this! Final art! Wrath of the iced crystal dragon!', June lash forward, her swords barely hitting Is. Is could feel nothing until an unexpected blizzard encircle him with shards of crystal and ice. Is could fine no escape. His screams of defeat echoes through the blacken room. June peer over her shoulder, she slump to the ground. With battered breath she smile, 'I won', she murmurs before falling into an unconscious world. Little did she know the ground underneath her open: granting her excess to the real world.

Velery couldn't let this be the end of her. Her bracelet shines and a blast of light shot out. Blade eyes widen when the attack hit her. The kunai's in her hand dissipate into nothingness. 'Now you have done it!', Blade took off her glasses showing off her deathly red eyes. From her palm two swords appear. Like a wind she disappear, Velery stand up,the spell that bind her movement is no more: she look around frantically for Blade's presence but she could feel nothing.

'Gotcha!', a menacing voice say. Velery eyes widen when the blade's are pointed to her face. She close her eyes for the pain but it never came, instead she feel something splashed into her face. When the foul odor thrust her nostrils she jerk her eyes open. All air in her lung got knocked out, she's too paralyze to even do anything.

'Look away child', Serene instructed meekly. 'Don't taint yourself', is Serene's last words before the swords that impale her chest and stomach tore her flesh into two. Velery slumped into the ground, she could hardly believe anything. 'Wahh! I was hoping that I would kill her sooner. Nevertheless, you will still be dead', Blade purr. She lick the last remaining drop of blood on her swords. Velery mouth hang open, this time she couldn't put up a fight even if she wants too. All hope is lost, she got no one to help her. All alone...again. Just when the blades are millimeters away from her neck a strong pairs of arms engulf her body. She could feel herself smashing into a wall.

'Idiot! Don't space out like that!', a gruff voice scold her. Veley look upwards, Zeille worried face comes to her view. Albeit that, she is so broken she doesn't have the will to continue anymore of this. 'Stay put.' Zeille command, he ruffles Velery's head slightly. A greyish aura surround him as a spear appear in front of him. 'I'll get vengeance for your ancestor and you', he determinedly state.

'My oh my, we have a boaster here. Just so you know, I'm the best iron master there is'.

Zeille scoff 'We'll see about that!'.

Blaze is bemuse to see Ray's holding on in the dragon form for so long. 'Fire meteor!', gigantic fire orbs encircle Railer.

'Water barrier!', Railer shout. They was barely protected from the attack. Ray, I couldn't hold out much longer. Before Ray could progress what has happen a blue light twist around him as Railer disappear into thin air. 'Shoot!', he curses. Blaze descends to the ground, this fight seems one sided though, she could win easily. Blaze brought both her arms forwards. She mutter incoherent words as a red circle appear in front of her. Ray could feel the pressure that surrounds them, Damn! If only I have more time to recharge! Ray could feel the he is rooted to the ground by something. Just when Blaze was about to launch the attack, a blur blue light swoop through them.

Thanks to that, Blaze dispel her spell, she feel twice as lucky. 'My oh my, this is  certainly my day', she step forward. A fire sword in one hand, with a killing intent she approach the object. 'Don't touch her', Ray hiss. He struggles to move his feet but no avail because he is completely rooted to the ground. Blaze waltz her way towards the unconscious princess. She raise her sword with a mocking face.

'She'll die anyway. Let's rush it. No harm done anyway'. Blaze's sword only manage to scorch June's arm when a gush of geyser hit her feet.  Ray pant, as he cradle June in his arms. 'I told you not to touch her', he hiss coldly before securely puts June behind him, when they geyser hit Blaze he manage to free himself. Blaze smirk, 'Never thought she hold a large piece of your heart', she commented. This time, Ray didn't even bother to retort back, instead his determination to fight risen higher than he ever had. The gloves on both of his palms shines so bright both opponent have to close their eyes.

The once regular gloves now have pointed claws protrude from in between each fingers. The blades are different because it's made out of complete liquid. Blade's teeth chatter when the sight bestow in front of her. She have heard about the once savage beast of the deep that blades can cut anything made out of fire. She bring forth her hands summoning another large amount of fire but like the myth says Ray easily cut all of them to ashen.

Blaze face pale instantly, her steps are wobbly, she couldn't see any humanity in Ray's eyes any more. She tries hitting the guy with pillars of fire but the moment the blades made contact with the fire all of them dissipate into water vapor. 'Please I beg of you! Don't harm a girl. You don't want me to labeled as masochist now do you?', she plead. Ray rise the blades on top of her head, like a hopeless girl she is Blaze plead once more but Ray paid no attention to any of them.

'I told you not to touch her don't I', he spat coldly. Veins pops on Blaze's temple,she could hardly understands this humans affection for another. Rising to her feet she grab Ray's collar, causing him to lost focus for awhile. 'What's so special about her anyway! She is just like us! A child that's born to wreck havoc in this world! Why are you defending her?! Why are you fighting for her!What differs her from the rest of us?.' Ray heart sinks when he heard those words. He once feel like that too, a sigh escape his lips. He grab both of Blaze's hand, 'Because she is trying her hardest to not be evil. Forgiving others when they done so much that hurt her. Puts aside her feelings so other will feel welcome in her presence. She never once given up to the dark side. Because when she does, her friends will be there to help her. You have a friend too.'

'No! I do not!', Blaze wail, her body shook with so much pain and agony. Her feelings is in turmoil, 'You did. She is always there to support you. But you betray her'. Blaze jerk her head upwards, tears trickle down her cheeks. 'Liar! Who is she!', Blaze howl. Ray gulps, guilt written across his face. He couldn't tell the girl.

'Your dragon', a meek voice answers in Ray's stead. Both of them turn around, June stood with Isis as her support. Her eyes barely opens. 'I could hear it well. That dragon of yours, she always hoped that you wouldn't fall into darkness but she could do nothing more than be there to guide you, when she knows it wouldn't be enough.'

'Liar! all of you are liars. She was nothing more than my toy! Nothing more', Blaze turns into muffled and sobs echoes through the blatant forest. 'I never thought you wouldn't consider me as your friend', a familiar voice state. Once again, Blaze jerk her head towards June. This time the princess's eyes shone in the color of mandarin. 'Blaze. I thought those memories we make together were priceless. I might never say it in person but truth to be told I never wish for a more better companion than you. I know there's good in you. You are kind heart person. Please never forget that I will always be with you', Amely says through June.

'Till we meet again my dear', June close her eyes, this time she wears herself out completely. Her body sway back and forth, 'June!', Ray push Blaze slightly and catches June before she kiss the forest floor. Blaze's eyes are completely void, she have no reason to fight. ' I might never have the chance to repent for what I did so let me tell you this. What ever you do, don't let the oldest of the princess kill the youngest', after that a red laser from nowhere descends into the ground incinerating Blaze into a pile of screaming ashes. His eyes widen when a huge part of somewhat castle hover on top of him and June. What's more, he could vaguely sees Layla's shadow on top of the castle.

Sara climb the last of the ladder to a higher ground. Her eyes shook in horror. They are completely out numbered. From afar she could see, Myra trying her best to defend their front line. Whilst, the Zodiacs muster up all of their powers battling each squadron's Vanguards. 'That's enough! I can't stand this anymore!', she slam her spear to her side. She pull off her strings letting her golden flock flows. Without the slightest hesitation she jump from the high place.

Myra is busy fending off the enemy when she feel an enormous energy falling on top of them. Her eyes, shook when she sees Sara plummeting to the ground but before she could reach the ground a white light envelopes her. A pair of white dove like wings spread from her back. One slash of her wings cause dozens of the enemy squad to stumble back. 'Tome of judgment!', weird white writing limbs each of the squadron bodies with a meter radius. They suddenly screaming in agony.

'If you want to destroy this fort! Kill me first!', Sara shout.

Zemmi flutters his eyes open, his breath becomes ragged. He clutch his heart, something terrible has happen! Mother! He couldn't help the tears from coming out. More of his family members, die at the brink of a war. 'Those humans!', he raged. The dilapidated room shook violently.

'Brother', a soft voice state. Zeimmi turns around, he couldn't believe himself when Star's standing in front of him. 'Brother, I thought you have forgiven the humans after that fight with one of them. Have you really let them into your heart?'.

Zeimmi remains quiet, he have no reason to fight. 'Brother, Sara have open up her second transformation', Zeimmi didn't say a word but the beating of his heart didn't lessen by the minute. 'She's the white fairy', Star frankly says. This time Zeimmi is completely shock.

'But even with her current power. there will be no guarantee that she will get out of this alive', Zeimmi flinched. 'You care for her deeply don't you? Just as much as me and mother. Brother our departure is inevitable. One way or another we will leave your side. This time. I beg of you to stand and face this reality. Everyone around you will be away when the time comes. Whether it's because of war or something else. You just have to live with it. Go out there and help your friends. They need you', Star softly say.

'For what reason must I reconcile with such foolishness?', Zeimmi snap. 'I have no reason of sort. They never meant a lot more than just mere comrades. A brother in arms as I put it. If their choice is to fight then mine is to stand still. I stand by my rules, you know that pretty well don't you'.

'True, feud cause nothing more than sorrow. But if you fight for a good cause. To protect what you care, to fight for those who can't, you'll feel much better than this sorry state you are in. Brother. If you haven't realized this, your so call comrades never lose hope that you'll enter the fray one way or another despite your defiant order before. You have heard them don't you. Then why must you hesitate anymore? They are waiting for you'.

'I can't bear the thought of losing them, must I face the same scene where you are murdered when I can't do anything to prevent it.'

'But you can now, can't you? You are stronger than you thought Brother. If not they wouldn't call you Zeimmi the catastrophic now would they?. If you stand here and do nothing, more blood will be shed through this battle and many more regret will dawn on you. It's for the best if you go out there.' Star's last words echoes through his mind.

'Dang, what have I been doing for this past few hours', sighing, he jump from his place and grab his staff. 'Now, I'm hungry for some fight'.
