'Now, now my dear. Listen to your old dad's word. When I say you must use it. You must!', he spat. Zeirra could feel the tears brimming in her eyes. She must not give in to the temptation. 'Tch! Useless child!', the man pour more mist into the battle ground. This time, Zeirra is bombard with tens of thousands little bomb all around her body. One by one, each time the bombs explode the pain increases. 'Use the damn power!!!!', the man scream yet again. Zeirra didn't answer instead a shrilling cries, echoes through the forest.
'Tch! You are boring. I'll torture your friends instead', the man cease his attacks when he is sure that Zeirra have lost all her consciousness. 'Damn brat. I wish for a good fight, is that too much to ask?'. When the man is about to step away, a frail voice chant something that rings a sweet tune in his ears.
'Equip, Serpent conqueror', from the sole of her feet, black greenish smoke engulf her body. Her pink dress is tainted with green and black, her eyes turn golden and fangs protrude from the side of her mouth. A menacing serpent aura is strangely dissipate around her. 'Hahaha, what are you going to use for payment this time? Your sanity?', Zeirra smirk. She bring out her rose quartz sword.
Take my sword as your bill,
Let me control you in my will,
Lend me strength which I prolonged,
Help me sought my dream for so long.
The swords in her hand dissipate, a scepter with a black snake coiling around it appear. The man smile, he is surprise such power is willing to accept a measly thing like a sword, nevertheless he is thrilled to fight the girl now. This time, he merge a large amount of mist together to increase the pressure. Just when the attack hit, an immense pain erupted from his right hand, a black poison slowly sip through his flesh, burning him from the inside.
'You wish for my power don't you?', Zeirra horrifyingly tilt her head to the side, her eyes are shrewd and a vehement killer smile decorates her face. 'Now, let's have a taste of my serpent powers. It's easy, every time your mist touch me or my body. More poison will enter you body. It'll be fatal for you if you fight me. This is one sided hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!', Zeirra is losing her sanity along side her consciousness. Someone! Help me!.
'Ahahahahhaa! That stupid brat is no more. I'm in control now!!!!!!', the ground erupted with black bubbles floating around them, each bubble is infuse with a poison deathly than before. The serpent girl is bemuse to see the man trembling, wasn't he the one who wish for her current power to be summon, such cowardice is unacceptable. 'You! You wish for me to unlock the past I have buried, you force me to summon my power. You resurface my most inner demon. Now I want you to have a full taste of it. I hope you'll survive', she hiss. With the pluck of her finger, the bubbles exploded making the mist around them turns to black.
The man howl in pain, the poison is too much for his body to take control. Little by little the poison is eating him alive. 'I abhor, those who are weaker than me but think they can toy me around.Time to pay full time'. The man groan, but a little sly smile still plaster over his face. That cause Zeirra to baffled just a moment, the green mist around her chain her movement both her legs and arms including her neck are chain to the nearest tree. 'Heh! I'll take that', Zeirra squirm to break free, she even injects more poison into the mists that holds her but her doings only amuse her opponent. Zeirra could feel the air being sucked out of her lungs when the man's hand touch her face. 'Give me your power!', he hiss. No! Not again!. Her eyes dilated when an unidentified magic lurks through her brain, stimulating her memories of her past.
Zeirra is floating in an infinite space when a screen so big, it fills the entire place appear, the screen buzz a bit before an image of a girl being call into a chamber of a foreign forest appear.Ah! That's right, this is the time where the power are bestowed upon me. Where my nightmares began.
The little Zeirra jump around in excitement, she is a happy go lucky girl with a cunning mind. That's why she is the chief of her village at a such young age. Her eyes glitters in excitement when the elderly of their village request her presence. To the villagers and herself being call by someone such as that is an honor indeed; for the elderly only request the best from the best. She jump through the busy crowd, but she didn't mind the slightest because she is passing through the peak hour of course the street are fill with bustling people.
At a young age Zeirra have acquire a strong pair of legs that can run faster that the transportation at the village, that's why she arrive at the elderly place in mere ten minutes. The elderly house is tricky for it's surrounded with thousands of trees, if one did not pay attention they can be lost in the wild forest. Zeirra pat her dress, neatly done her hair for the umpteenth time, and clear her throat. She shakily knock on the door. A hoarse voice answers and open the door. From behind the door, stood a woman in her middle age with a soft kind smile but a dangerous aura around her.
'Could you be Zeirra? The youngest chief for our village?', Zeirra nod vigorously in order to conceal her happiness. 'Come in, come in...', the woman open her door wider. Zeirra is awe stricken to see thousands of lethal weapons hanging around the dilapidated place. 'You know dear child, each one of them bore a deep history both used in good and in evil. Child, I heard you have the stone of a phoenix from the moment you were born.'
Zeirra furrow her eyebrows, her step met a halt. She didn't tell anyone about the crucial matter of the sacred stone. The middle age woman conceal her smile, she is certain that Zeirra is a game changer. 'I have known you from before you were born', that information really shook Zeirra's core. All that she known is her parents abandon her. 'You know my parents?', this time the middle age woman didn't answer, she pull Zeirra slowly by her wrist into a secret hole. At the end a big dark blue cauldron stood with a silver smoke surrounds the small space.
'I should not bestow such powers to a person so young but I trust your judgement.Let me tell you the origin of this power. Eons ago, blacksmiths had created countless weaponry to serve knights and warriors of all kind. Women were push behind when the matters of war takes commands. But during a silver age, a princess stood mighty with her armor created by the best blacksmith and the best ingredients. Little by little the story of her victory spread through the world, because of that countless princesses raise in order to proclaim their territories. With that, tens of thousands armors were created. When the silver age ends, the armors were stored inside a storage. But each armors grew restless, when their owners dies; for decades they waited but no one inherit them. Many warriors have try their luck but the armors didn't accept their authorities. Because of that the elderly of the magic council collects all of them and transform each and every one of those armors into a magic which one can have. But to equip even one of them requires a special 'Payment' be it your soul, your heart or even your feelings or your most treasure possession. The higher the power is the higher the price. So I deeply advice you to think wisely before equipping even one of them.'
Zeirra mouth hang open, she weren't expecting this kind of power. Sure, it seems fine and all but to have control over thousands of armors, it's just insane even for a kid like her. 'Ummm, I have to refuse on that. I mean..... A kid like me? Controlling such immense powers... It's sounds absurd don't you think?'.
'If I could go against the will of the armors then I wouldn't have called you here'. Zeirra is stunned, the armors call her, now she really is losing her mind. 'I.. uh...', Zeirra mind is in a jam, she's totally blank and have no idea on how to decline the offer. 'You were chosen because you are the last of the family lineage'.
'I'm the last?'. The woman nod slowly, she turn to her back and brought out a list of heredity; there were many people listed but it ends at her. There were suppose to be at least four people around Zeirra's age but the three of them excluding Zeirra herself is smudge. 'You see, the suppose heirs were assassinated, you are the only ones left.'
'B-But, how should I control them? How should I know when to use them?', Zeirra is visibly shaking, she is a kid which can be consider as always thinks before leaping. The woman pat her shoulder kindly.
'I'll tell you the easiest way to manipulate the armors that have been pass down through out the generations.' The woman tap her head and pat her chest. 'Each judgement must be made according to your mind but always put your heart into it. Don't ever give twisted words a chance to control your judgement for that was the beginning of every fallen leaders.' Zeirra smile slightly, she'll keep that in mind. 'But, do I really have to inherit it now? Can't it wait until I am a bit more mature?'.
'Age matters not when it comes to maturity. For the very least not in your case, Zeirra you have conquer the villagers heart, you lead with brilliance,fairness and kindness. Whether you are old enough did not matter, for you are as responsible as any adult can be'. Zeirra is flatter when the elderly compliments her despite that; she is unable to sniff out the mocking tone the elderly have thrown to her.
'Okay then, I'll take the power if you think I am worthy of having it now albeit I would prefer waiting for about another year or two'.
'Now lets begin!', the old woman dip her hand into the cauldron. When she raise her hand again, weird incarnations of old writings were brought out. The writings then imprint themselves onto Zeirra's body. Surprisingly, no pain can be felt when the armors enter her body.'Wow. That was easy'.
'Now child. Summon the greatest armor, inter-dimensional black fallen warrior armor. This time I suggest you pay them with your consciousness', being an ignorant girl she is, Zeirra summon the very armor the old lady ask of her. A bright light emitted from her eyes.
The man howl in pain, the poison is too much for his body to take control. Little by little the poison is eating him alive. 'I abhor, those who are weaker than me but think they can toy me around.Time to pay full time'. The man groan, but a little sly smile still plaster over his face.

What will thou pay for the power thou seek?
Thine shall pay thee with the very conscious of thine being.
Very well then.
Zeirra eyes turn half lidded when her past is revealed to her. The continuation of the story is; Zeirra simply have the massive blood bath of her life. In the end she was deceived by the old hag. Her long lost father had made an agreement with the elderly to make Zeirra takes the power in stead of him so he wouldn't be burden by the responsibility he'll gain.
It's always ended up like that. I have no control or whatsoever when I equipped those armor.
For what reason does thou seek strength?
Zeirra raise her head, the words were spit into her face. In front of her stand a being that look like a serpent. It's eyes are for once are warm and kind. The creature once again ask Zeirra the question.Yeah...why did I use the armor again?
Why does thou call thine presence in the midst of a battle?
Zeirra open her mouth to say something but nothing comes out. It seems as if her original zeal had been in tepid waters. She let out a strangled breath, little by little she reminisce the very reason why she call forth this power. Finally, her mind struck something. Tch. It was stupid when I think about it.
I seek your powers for a measly reason,
I wish to stand side by side with my comrades,
I wish to be the strongest there is,
So my friends can rely on me once in a while,
After all I'm the leader, can't let those punks get a head of me,
A leader must be strong physically and mentally,
All of this is for that stupid pride of mine,
I hope you aren't offended.
Surprisingly a serpent can smile, it's not that creepy like those rumors said.
Thou deem is acknowledge by the serpent,
Thou can wish to use thine when ever thou wish,
Without the price to pay,
Now make haste! Return to your world and fulfill what is undone.
'Gladly', after that, Zeirra gain control of her body. She grasp the man's wrist before flinging him to the other side of the forest. She crack her knuckles. 'Impossible! You should have been drown by the serpent powers. How can a brat like you control such power'.
'Ouch! That hurts man, I got my reasons. Now Let us finish this dance', Zeirra twirl the scepter in her hand. The mist began to gather around her in a big hurling tornado. 'Execute: Serpent's wrath!', the tornado turns menacing. Slowly it began to devour the area surrounds it before engulfing the man in a never ending poison air which concludes fatality. Zeirra pat her shoulders, both of them are stiff. She was fighting for a long time, mind you. Her gaze returns towards the skies. So the final battle have already begun huh... Without a moment to waste, she sprint down towards the main ring, where the real action will take place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ray, is trying his hardest not to run towards the massive sea of human. But he can't bare the thought of leaving June alone to fend for herself in her beat down condition either. June squirm a bit before her eyes flutter open, 'Where am I?', she look around her.
'You okay?', Ray ask whilst towering inches above her face. June face starts to redden bit by bit. She yelps and hurriedly scurried to stand up; she accidentally slams both their fore heads together. After both of them wincing in pain, June breaks the silence. 'Why are you still here?'. She thought with the rising action, Ray would certainly leave her here. Ray scoff, 'Please don't think so ill of people. I can't leave a girl in sickness here alone to fend for herself now can I?', June nearly melt by the smile Ray is giving her if not for the fact that they are in the middle of a war.
'Any how. Can you walk, you seems to be pretty fatigue by the looks of it.'. June pulls a painful smile, she certainly is weak at the current time but she didn't wish to be anyone restrain from joining a battle. Unfortunately, her act didn't go unaware by the boy. 'You are a bad actress you know.' June bit her lip.
'You are as scary like Ash you know', June retort, she knows bringing up the boy's rival will at least brings out a decent conversation between them.
'Don't compare me with such block head!', Ray defend. 'He's a thick headed monster who doesn't know the first thing about being a gentleman'.
June chuckle, they might not get on the same page regarding this topic, 'For me, he's the total opposite. He might not look like a civilize person but in the inside he is more of a gentleman and a gentle person. Ash was just bottling everything up because he was afraid of something but his changes isn't that half bad either'. Ray could see the fondness in June's face when ever she talks about Ash.
'How can you speak like you know him for a long time when the truth is that you didn't met him that long to know him that well'.
'Because I have felt that way a long time ago. But someone save me from that. Onward that point, many have pull me through. That's why I want to do the same with him. I just want him to accept his past faults and move on. I want him to laugh from the bottom of his heart.'
'You truly are a kind person. You always see good in everything that's bad. I hope I can be like you', Ray state gloomily.
'That's not true. I know you see good in people too Ray. I just know. The fact that you are fighting for someone is good enough.'
'Is it June?', June is left speechless. She decide not to pursue more into the conversation. Even though she isn't fully replenish her stamina. Lying around with the awkward atmosphere isn't her choice either. 'Come on. The guys are waiting', she said firmly.
'Yeah! Can't let that fire head cleanse everything before me. But are you perfectly sure you are capable of fighting in that state?'.
June scoff 'A mage must always have power in her to fight'.
'Tch! You are more aggressive that you look girl.' June pulls a sly smile, oh... Ray hasn't seen her truly dark side yet. She haven't fully open her torture gate yet. All those negative emotions are waiting to be pour out. And the current occasion is just perfect. Just so you wait. My true fangs has yet to shine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sara groan, the situation is bad, with the lack of remaining warriors they certainly are being corner into a pinch. Cecilia and Metal have just return from their mission and both of them almost at their limit. Zeille on the other hand is yet to finish fighting, Ray and the rest is still on their way towards the battlefield and it will take them sometimes before arriving here. 'Myra! Can you still fight?', the asked girl nod painfully.
Those soldiers keep pouring out one after another, Myra peer over her shoulder, her eyes widen in shock, 'Sara! Look out!'. Sara didn't have time to dodge when the silver sword almost cut her neck if not for the sudden gale than whisk the man away. Sara gasp, she knows this gale anywhere. He's finally here. From the temple, Zeimmi watch how the fight goes, he scratch his chin in a reluctant manner. 'Huh...here I thought my friends are more than capable to handle this soldiers.'
'Zeimmi!', that is the first time ever for Sara to mention the boy's name in relief. His help is more than need to handle these situation. Zeimmi smirk, he jump down from the temple, a gust of whirlwind broke his landing. He looks around, all his friends are battered and bruised. 'Cecilia, can you still muster some water into your attacks?'.
'More than ever!', she cheered. Zeimmi points Cecilia towards the massive amount of people. 'Now let's show them why I was called as the apocalypse', Cecilia broke her face into a devilish grin.
'Come forth! Link power! Drown everything in sight! Tsunami!'. Myra mouth's hangs open, Cecilia measly water starts to grow bigger and bigger as the water approach it's target. 'Wait! Zeimmi's power is natural disaster!!!!!!!! No wonder he never want to take part in any battle.'
'Yeah, but he need assistance when his element doesn't meet the requirement. Like Cecilia', Sara state proudly.
'You ain't half bad either, The white fairy huh... Who would have thought', Metal cuts in.
'Enough jibber jabber. You lot cause me to drag my butt into this mess. Metal! Get you behind here, we have a massive quake to do!!! Everyone else please secure your remaining position! This time we'll pay them hard core!!', Zeimmi shout. With Zeimmi sudden arrival into the battle, Myra somehow feel a bit more high spirited than before.If natural disaster is Zeimmi's true powers than the powers he use to fight Ash was just a mere portion of his current state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Dance of the blades', Blade is having fun slicing both Zeille and traumatizing Velery. She is quite satisfy to see the girl tremble in her place, frozen in fear when the sight is imprinted into her mind. Right now, Blade could feel careless about the survival of that puny girl, especially with the rising action. Tch! I'll just have to kill two birds with one stone. From her point of view, Zeille is fully absorb into the fight, he didn't realize where he is going let alone what he is slashing. Fufufu... I have a brilliant plan.
Using the opportunity she has, Blade slowly lead Zeille closer to Velery. Like her assumption, Zeille didn't realize the lack of distance between him and Velery. Blade couldn't conceal her smirk, not just because of the sweet sounds of metal clinging but also the sweet sounds of ear pitching scream with a future fill with a massive blood bath. She is close, a few more steps and Velery will take the blow.
'Do you take me for some kind of dolt?', Blade gasps. Her plan fail at the last minute when Zeille's consciousness snapped back. Velery stand tall with golden light surrounding her. On top of her head, Zeille's sword still loyally attach to her light make shield. 'You seriously think, I'm not capable of fighting', Velery spat. Sure, she is trembling and afraid. To be frank, she would rather die then to be in such place, but the burning sensation of vengeance that's burning through her writhing heart becomes her power to stand up and fight. Zeille felt a bit relieve to see Velery up and about, hyped than ever for a fact; he has never see her eyes burns with such vehement aura. Her fear have been washed away when imminent death almost greet her.
'Zeille, will you team up with me?', Velery ask.
'Couldn't ask for more squirt', Velery didn't pay the slightest attention towards that mockery. From her right palm, a ball of golden light appear. she hold it out, 'Decease, ray of light!', the ball could have hit Blade but she manage to evade at the last minute.
'Hah! couldn't ask for a better aim-', before she could continue, the ball of light exploded, blinding everything in her way. With the lack of field vision, Blade didn't manage to sense the attack that comes her way. 'Final phase: Metallic dance!', from beneath the ground,dozens of sharp stalagmites pops up. Impaling her feet thus restraining her movement. The next ones appear, slamming her body to the nearest wall, locking both her arms and legs. Velery didn't feel a bit relieve to see their enemy helpless. She could smell the dirty trick Blade have in her pocket.
'You think you have won huh... If I die! I'll bring both of you with me! Last chaos! Detonation execution!', black writings climbs her body as a black watch count down to their doom. 'Like Luna, My effect is the same. With that Nature guardian out of the way. There's no way you'll win this!!', Blade boast.
'Was your life this low Blade?', Velery hiss. She despise the girl alright, but with her current resolve the feelings have gotten worse. 'What is it that you want to achieve that you whittle your life away!!! What is your goal?!!!', Velery scream. She accidentally inter-connects her mid with every one else's. 'Was your life so pitiful that you are willing to die right away?!!'.
Blade is left speechless, no one have ever said that to her. Plus somehow, the detonation of the bomb is slower. 'Y-You wouldn't understand our burden!!! Our sins!', Blade reply unsure.
'I wouldn't understand! I know you have face hardships harder than I ever do!! But throwing your life away like it's some trash isn't the right way to do it! If you need a shoulder to cry onto you can ask me!! It matters not whether we are enemies or not! If you are struggling to see the light then let me show you the way. Let me help you through the hardship you have to go through. Open your heart please', Velery croaked.
Her friends shed a tear when those words left her mouth, they direct their heads towards the crumbling tower. Velery! In their heart, Velery's words had not yet fail to fuel their soul with resolve stronger than before.
Velery steps closer, the thought of her body explodes into pieces is the last thing she cares about. 'Please, stop this fiasco. Blade.... let me be your friend', she cooed. Just like that, Blade almost drop her beliefs but something at the back of her head screams for her to defy everything that Velery says. 'Kuh!', Velery shudder when she sees Blade trash around, as if fighting something from the inside. Not long after that, she stops. 'Bl-'.
'That's enough!! All of your lies will not deceive me!!! Those low grade lies will never fool me. Open your eyes brat. In this reality there's no one that'll survive as weak, those who are stronger shall rise and those who are weak will die. That's why I willingly lay my life down on a sliver platter, with this lack of power I will not be able to fight anymore. Your stupid words! Your worthless zeal are just nothing but a fleeting dream in this harsh reality!!!! Can't you see it?', Velery bit her lip.
'If that's your wish then I shall not intervene', Velery has never given up on a person like this, somehow there is a black wall encasing Blade's minds and she can't get through. 'But let me assist you in your duty', both Zeille and Blade is baffled to hear her words. The drawings on her body reappear, with her fingers Velery draws a star. Her mouth mumble incoherent words but Zellie is sure that she is muttering some spell.
'Encase: Eternal lock', she said softly. A golden bubble wrap around Blade. When the clock strikes zero the bomb detonate of course. A massive wave of air shook the last sturdy tower to the ground. Zeille manage to grab hold of Velery while hanging of onto dead tree for their lives.
'Let me go', she whispers.
'Are you nuts! You'll die if I let go!', Zeille snap, even so his grasp on the branch will not hold a minute longer. Velery sigh, she hold Zeille's shirt tightly. 'Trust me', Velery push the hands that holds her causing her to fall down onto the earth. But ten meters before she fall down Sara manage to hold her.
'Jeez, could you at least gives me heads up earlier', Sara groan. Velery smirk, upwards Myra helps the guy to land safely on the ground. 'I contacted them earlier. I told you, you need to believe in me', Velery teasingly says. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Zeimmi fighting without a care in the world.Who would have thought, he would fight along side us. I wonder what will he do if he knows what happens to Serene-sama.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Tch! I lost contact with that girl. I must say, those petty humans and spirit certainly have guts to fight towards the end.' Layla turn around, she stop right on top of the battlefield. 'Execute: Nebula over blast! Incinerate everything in sight!!!'.
'Layla! No!!', Mirai trash around to stop his dear sister.
'Stay still will you', Ryan slam his stick on top of Mirai's body causing him to cough up blood. Max and Shikari tries to break free nevertheless their efforts are fruitless.

'Everyone run for your life!!!!', Sara screech. Every single living human scramble for their life when the humongous laser of dark blue descend from the hovering fortress. 'Find a place to hide! I'll protect you guys!', Sara slam her staff on the ground, white like barrier appear.As reassuring as t sounds, Sara's condition cause the barrier to becomes thinner than it should. Shoot! I can't deflect this one. At least, my friends are safe.
'Sara! Get the hell out of there!', Zeimmi scream. He couldn't loose another one of his precious people. 'Sa-'.
'You got to be kidding me', Velery murmurs. 'Layla, how could you! I'll take you head on!'. This time the writings shines, brighter than before. Zeille takes hold of her wrists just before she head out.
'You ain't going no where. You'll die if you go out there now!'.
'Then would you rather our friends dies?'.
'That's not wh-'.
'I'll come back safe and sound. Just promise me, that you will save Layla. She needs our help', Velery rip her wrist away from Zeille's grasp. With confidence backing her up, she stand side to side with Sara.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sara groan, the situation is bad, with the lack of remaining warriors they certainly are being corner into a pinch. Cecilia and Metal have just return from their mission and both of them almost at their limit. Zeille on the other hand is yet to finish fighting, Ray and the rest is still on their way towards the battlefield and it will take them sometimes before arriving here. 'Myra! Can you still fight?', the asked girl nod painfully.
Those soldiers keep pouring out one after another, Myra peer over her shoulder, her eyes widen in shock, 'Sara! Look out!'. Sara didn't have time to dodge when the silver sword almost cut her neck if not for the sudden gale than whisk the man away. Sara gasp, she knows this gale anywhere. He's finally here. From the temple, Zeimmi watch how the fight goes, he scratch his chin in a reluctant manner. 'Huh...here I thought my friends are more than capable to handle this soldiers.'
'Zeimmi!', that is the first time ever for Sara to mention the boy's name in relief. His help is more than need to handle these situation. Zeimmi smirk, he jump down from the temple, a gust of whirlwind broke his landing. He looks around, all his friends are battered and bruised. 'Cecilia, can you still muster some water into your attacks?'.
'More than ever!', she cheered. Zeimmi points Cecilia towards the massive amount of people. 'Now let's show them why I was called as the apocalypse', Cecilia broke her face into a devilish grin.
'Come forth! Link power! Drown everything in sight! Tsunami!'. Myra mouth's hangs open, Cecilia measly water starts to grow bigger and bigger as the water approach it's target. 'Wait! Zeimmi's power is natural disaster!!!!!!!! No wonder he never want to take part in any battle.'
'Yeah, but he need assistance when his element doesn't meet the requirement. Like Cecilia', Sara state proudly.
'You ain't half bad either, The white fairy huh... Who would have thought', Metal cuts in.
'Enough jibber jabber. You lot cause me to drag my butt into this mess. Metal! Get you behind here, we have a massive quake to do!!! Everyone else please secure your remaining position! This time we'll pay them hard core!!', Zeimmi shout. With Zeimmi sudden arrival into the battle, Myra somehow feel a bit more high spirited than before.If natural disaster is Zeimmi's true powers than the powers he use to fight Ash was just a mere portion of his current state.

'Dance of the blades', Blade is having fun slicing both Zeille and traumatizing Velery. She is quite satisfy to see the girl tremble in her place, frozen in fear when the sight is imprinted into her mind. Right now, Blade could feel careless about the survival of that puny girl, especially with the rising action. Tch! I'll just have to kill two birds with one stone. From her point of view, Zeille is fully absorb into the fight, he didn't realize where he is going let alone what he is slashing. Fufufu... I have a brilliant plan.
Using the opportunity she has, Blade slowly lead Zeille closer to Velery. Like her assumption, Zeille didn't realize the lack of distance between him and Velery. Blade couldn't conceal her smirk, not just because of the sweet sounds of metal clinging but also the sweet sounds of ear pitching scream with a future fill with a massive blood bath. She is close, a few more steps and Velery will take the blow.
'Do you take me for some kind of dolt?', Blade gasps. Her plan fail at the last minute when Zeille's consciousness snapped back. Velery stand tall with golden light surrounding her. On top of her head, Zeille's sword still loyally attach to her light make shield. 'You seriously think, I'm not capable of fighting', Velery spat. Sure, she is trembling and afraid. To be frank, she would rather die then to be in such place, but the burning sensation of vengeance that's burning through her writhing heart becomes her power to stand up and fight. Zeille felt a bit relieve to see Velery up and about, hyped than ever for a fact; he has never see her eyes burns with such vehement aura. Her fear have been washed away when imminent death almost greet her.
'Zeille, will you team up with me?', Velery ask.
'Couldn't ask for more squirt', Velery didn't pay the slightest attention towards that mockery. From her right palm, a ball of golden light appear. she hold it out, 'Decease, ray of light!', the ball could have hit Blade but she manage to evade at the last minute.
'Hah! couldn't ask for a better aim-', before she could continue, the ball of light exploded, blinding everything in her way. With the lack of field vision, Blade didn't manage to sense the attack that comes her way. 'Final phase: Metallic dance!', from beneath the ground,dozens of sharp stalagmites pops up. Impaling her feet thus restraining her movement. The next ones appear, slamming her body to the nearest wall, locking both her arms and legs. Velery didn't feel a bit relieve to see their enemy helpless. She could smell the dirty trick Blade have in her pocket.
'You think you have won huh... If I die! I'll bring both of you with me! Last chaos! Detonation execution!', black writings climbs her body as a black watch count down to their doom. 'Like Luna, My effect is the same. With that Nature guardian out of the way. There's no way you'll win this!!', Blade boast.
'Was your life this low Blade?', Velery hiss. She despise the girl alright, but with her current resolve the feelings have gotten worse. 'What is it that you want to achieve that you whittle your life away!!! What is your goal?!!!', Velery scream. She accidentally inter-connects her mid with every one else's. 'Was your life so pitiful that you are willing to die right away?!!'.
Blade is left speechless, no one have ever said that to her. Plus somehow, the detonation of the bomb is slower. 'Y-You wouldn't understand our burden!!! Our sins!', Blade reply unsure.
'I wouldn't understand! I know you have face hardships harder than I ever do!! But throwing your life away like it's some trash isn't the right way to do it! If you need a shoulder to cry onto you can ask me!! It matters not whether we are enemies or not! If you are struggling to see the light then let me show you the way. Let me help you through the hardship you have to go through. Open your heart please', Velery croaked.
Her friends shed a tear when those words left her mouth, they direct their heads towards the crumbling tower. Velery! In their heart, Velery's words had not yet fail to fuel their soul with resolve stronger than before.
Velery steps closer, the thought of her body explodes into pieces is the last thing she cares about. 'Please, stop this fiasco. Blade.... let me be your friend', she cooed. Just like that, Blade almost drop her beliefs but something at the back of her head screams for her to defy everything that Velery says. 'Kuh!', Velery shudder when she sees Blade trash around, as if fighting something from the inside. Not long after that, she stops. 'Bl-'.
'That's enough!! All of your lies will not deceive me!!! Those low grade lies will never fool me. Open your eyes brat. In this reality there's no one that'll survive as weak, those who are stronger shall rise and those who are weak will die. That's why I willingly lay my life down on a sliver platter, with this lack of power I will not be able to fight anymore. Your stupid words! Your worthless zeal are just nothing but a fleeting dream in this harsh reality!!!! Can't you see it?', Velery bit her lip.
'If that's your wish then I shall not intervene', Velery has never given up on a person like this, somehow there is a black wall encasing Blade's minds and she can't get through. 'But let me assist you in your duty', both Zeille and Blade is baffled to hear her words. The drawings on her body reappear, with her fingers Velery draws a star. Her mouth mumble incoherent words but Zellie is sure that she is muttering some spell.
'Encase: Eternal lock', she said softly. A golden bubble wrap around Blade. When the clock strikes zero the bomb detonate of course. A massive wave of air shook the last sturdy tower to the ground. Zeille manage to grab hold of Velery while hanging of onto dead tree for their lives.
'Let me go', she whispers.
'Are you nuts! You'll die if I let go!', Zeille snap, even so his grasp on the branch will not hold a minute longer. Velery sigh, she hold Zeille's shirt tightly. 'Trust me', Velery push the hands that holds her causing her to fall down onto the earth. But ten meters before she fall down Sara manage to hold her.
'Jeez, could you at least gives me heads up earlier', Sara groan. Velery smirk, upwards Myra helps the guy to land safely on the ground. 'I contacted them earlier. I told you, you need to believe in me', Velery teasingly says. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Zeimmi fighting without a care in the world.Who would have thought, he would fight along side us. I wonder what will he do if he knows what happens to Serene-sama.

'Tch! I lost contact with that girl. I must say, those petty humans and spirit certainly have guts to fight towards the end.' Layla turn around, she stop right on top of the battlefield. 'Execute: Nebula over blast! Incinerate everything in sight!!!'.
'Layla! No!!', Mirai trash around to stop his dear sister.
'Stay still will you', Ryan slam his stick on top of Mirai's body causing him to cough up blood. Max and Shikari tries to break free nevertheless their efforts are fruitless.

FROM THE DARKEST TYRANNY ,
A LIGHT SHALL LEAD THE WAY,
I HUMBLY BESEECH MY POWER,
IN HOPE TO HELP OTHERS!
RELEASE! ETERNAL PROTECTION,
A big golden light dome appear, engulfing all those who is within the targeted area. With ease the dome deflected the ray but it takes a whole lot of energy form the castor. Velery slump into the ground with her head hung low, her ragged breath have shown how much energy she have use to protect her friends.
'Wow... I got to hand it to ya' that's some nice protecting', a familiar voice state. Layla brush aside the smokes with a glance.
'Woe, betide those who dares to defy my way', she snarl. June is shaken to the core when she sees her sister stand inside the fortress, with a menacing glance.
'Ly? What the heck is wrong with you', Ash is baffled to see the destructive force that occurs around the temple. What's more, he is shaken when Layla look down on him disdainfully.
'You didn't come to help me when I needed you', Layla reply coldly. 'None of you did', she spat. 'But a man generously offer me a helping hand when the rest of you push it away'.
'Yes that's right. She is in our side now', after so long Ryan step forward, showing off his hidden face towards the world.
'
Brother..', Ray whimper. All the air in his lungs just got sucked out. He couldn't believe his eyes, even so he isn't the only one who is seeing this.
'Long time no see, Ray'. Ryan shot Ray a murderous look, to him, the title siblings has died a long time ago along side his heart.
