THE PALACE moments prior.
Samson charges once again at Selene.
She swiftly dodges the attack, but is suddenly met with the ray of light coming from Eliza. Selene backs up a few steps as Samson charges at her again. The charge was barely avoided as Samson made contact with Selene's shoulder, sending her flying into a wall.
Selene fades away into the shadows just before they could land a follow-up attack on her.
CRASH
Samson crashes into a wall as he shakes the rubble off his head.
"Almost got her," he exclaims.
Chains appear from the shadows.
Eliza shines the moonlight once more, removing all shadows from them for some time.
"Samson, please try to avoid destroying the throne room," Eliza warns him.
"Eliza, aren't you concerned about what is happening out there?"
"Yes, I am well aware of it. Ashe is probably rounding up as many civilians as possible right now."
"Your perception is always key. She was doing just that while I was making my way here. She said she'll try to aid us if she can."
"I think we will be just fine," Eliza says with confidence. "Come on out. Stop hiding in the shadows."
Selene remains in the shadow world, silently observing.
"This is a tricky situation here. There are two of them now. One being able to nullify my abilities, although for a short while. However, the other will go on the offensive, not letting me have time to react. I must fight them without my shadows if that's the case. I just need an opening-"
"What in the world. Someone's mana is going off the charts."
"Three of them. Do you think it's our newly acquired allies?" Samson asks.
"I'm not quite sure."
"No, that is not your allies," Selene says, emerging from the shadows. "Your allies are about to be taken out from the three twelve stars that we have under our control. The one in the sky is going on a suicide mission, facing Stormbringer. As for you two, you will fall to me".
"Okay, let's see about that." Eliza summons her moon once more as she begins to sweat a little.
Samson prepares to charge again.
"Hmph," from behind, multiple copies of Selene begin to emerge from her shadows. Around two dozen clones fill the room and surround the two Twelve Stars.
"Which of us is the real one? Were you just talking to the real one?" they say in unison.
Samson charges at the Selene's as one by one they get tossed around the room, flying everywhere.
"Huh?"
The ones that get knocked down get back up as if nothing happened.
Samson keeps charging one by one, the Selene's learn how to jump and dodge his attacks. Sending him crashing into the walls.
STAR CREATION MAGIC: LUNAR VORTEX
Some of the clones begin to get sucked up into the vortex. Although whenever a clone gets removed from the battle, another fills its spot.
Eliza drops to one knee.
HUFF HUFF
Eliza begins to breathe heavily.
As the moonlight fades.
"Oh, there go the shadows," the clones say all together.
"Eliza!" Samson says as he stays by her side.
"Sorry running out of m- cough cough mana."
"Mana exhaustion," Samson says to himself.
Multiple chains begin to emerge from the shadows in all corners and directions.
"There won't be any moonlight for a while now," Selene says.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE
"An earthquake?" Selene wonders.
CRASH
A giant Emperor scorpion smashes through the ceiling.
Multiple purple orbs scatter throughout the room as Ashe jumps off the scorpion's back.
"Wow, that's a world record, you're out this quick," Ashe comments.
Eliza chuckles at Ashe.
"Ashe, get her out of here," Samson says.
"Wait, you don't want me to help you, I can-"
"You did more than enough," Samson smiles.
Ashe looks around the room. "You're right. This is more than enough."
"Samson," Eliza whispers. "Try to keep some of the palace intact. Go get them."
"Finally"
Samson materialized dual battle axes. Shaped like a horn of a bulls.
Ashe escapes the palace along with Eliza as they run onto the streets.
"Now let's see if the real one is here"
WHOOSH
"HEY!" Samson yells as all the clones charge at him. "This will be quick and short." Samson jumps up and destroys the orbs that Ashe left him, quickly escaping the room in the process.
The orbs burst with a purple smoke that quickly fills the entire area.
"See you later, clones," Samson says as he covers his mouth, jumps off, and chases after the real Selene.
Ashe continues to roam the streets with Eliza by her side.
"Good, I get a two-for-one special," Selene says as she emerges from the shadow from the back of the scorpion. Gaining the ability to move quickly and rise up to the level of the scorpion due the shadow wave she created.
The scorpion uses its stinger to attack Selene.
"This is just-"
WHOOSH
SLAM
SMACK
Selene gets taken out by a object sent flying from the side of her.
"What was that?" Ashe asks.
"Uhhhh" Selene vison is all distored and diizzy.
"What in the world hit me"
"Uhhhh" a voice says near her.
"Blade?!" Selene says in shock.
"That irritating voice." Blade says.
"What happended too you?"
FLAP FLAP
WHOOSH
"That happened" Blade says.
"I was hoping to klill you with that shot. Next time will be fatal" Jericho says as he stands over Selene and Blade.
In the skies of Boundera.
Stormbringer catches Axel's overhead kick and throws him towards the ground.
Axel shoots back up to his level and delivers a swift uppercut.
"His speed has increased."
Stormbringer stumbles back a little. Blood trickling from his nose. He wipes his nose and gives a little grin.
Axel prepares a nonstop assault. A fury of punches and kicks, followed by air slashes with each strike.
Stormbringers matches his punches and kicks. Blocking or dodging his advances.
SLICE SLICE
Each strike ripped flesh out of Stormbringer's skin.
YES
Axel continues his strikes.
MORE
Axel's face begins to show concern as he backs away from Stormbringer.
His face was all slashed up, and marks appeared on his face, seared in. His arms and clothing were torn to shreds, and blood was gushing out.
"COME ON YOUNG ONE IS THAT YOUR COMEBACK?!!" He yells hysterically.
A surge of electricity jolts through his body.
"He's lost it," Axel says to himself. "Ever since made him spill blood, he hasn't been on the offensive. I shall deliver a killing blow."
WIND CREATION MAGIC: LANCE OF ZEPHYRUS
Axel summons a large lance made of pure wind that wraps around his right arm.
He charges in a Stormbringer as he just stands there.
"He's just standing there." Axel thinks ot himself.
STAB
Axel drives the spear through Stormbringer's heart as he twists and drives it in deeper.
Stormbringer coughs out blood as some splatters onto Axel's face and his white dress shirt.
Axel tried to pull out his Lance but struggled to do so. Stormbringer grabs the Lance and pulls Axel in closer with a grin on his face.
"What in the world are you?" He instinctively looks up.
WIND CREATION MAGIC: AERO BARRIER
KABOOM
A sudden lightning blast hits Axel as he falls to the ground.
"When? Where are the clouds? What? I can't move my body? I put up a barrier, but still it got some of me." he looks up as Stormbringer stands above him, his body fully taken over by lightning, his eyes filled with electricity, his hair stands up with a blue hue around it.
He smiles down at Axel and, within an instant, teleports in front of him.
AGHH
Axel falls straight to the ground but is met with a kick from Stormbringer as he teleports behind Axel, kicking him back up to the atmosphere.
"Huh," Axel questions.
ZIP ZAP ZIP
Stormbringer jolts around the sky with a never-ending onslaught.
"His body feels lighter than usual? Maybe I'm just imagining things," Stormbringer questions.
KABOOM
A lightning bolt again hits Axel.
Stormbringer catches Axel by the neck with his right arm and holds him above his head.
"Looks like you're finished. Am disappointed. I thought you were the one who was going to push me to my limit. Guess I was wrong. Hmm"
Axel's body begins to vanish as Stormbringer begins to look around his surroundings.
"Got you all mixed up, huh?" a voice says.
A giant falcon soars in the sky.
The Trifecta Three finally arrive in Boundera.
"Ughh," Axel moans.
"Ava, how's he doing?" Colt asks.
"He's doing just fine, he'll be okay in a few."
"Fox?"
"I'm still trying to keep him busy. I put up a couple more layers; he won't be able to find the real ones."
"You're going to have to open up the illusion."
"Are we seriously going to fight him?" Fox asks.
"Of course, since when was the last time we faced a major threat like this?"
"Yeah, he's right, Fox, I dont think we ever have," Ava adds.
"Ava, please dont add your input. You're not even going to be fighting in this. You never do!" Fox complains.
"Without me, there's no support. We're a triangle, all sides supporting one another. Good luck, you guys," Ava says enthusiastically as she puts up a thumbs up.
Colt opens his book and skims through the pages. "Okay, since we're dealing with an enemy that controls the storms, these two should do the trick."
"SUMMONING MAGIC: THUNDER BIRD"
"SUMMONING MAGIC: VERMILLION BIRD"
A giant bird with wings made of thunder appears, next to it, a bird with wings made of fire is summoned.
"Fox was going to keep him busy, " Colt says as he hops on the Thunder Birds' back.
"I'm going to be sick after this. You owe me one," Fox says as six orbs appear in the back of him and he jumps onto the Vermillion bird's back.
"Ava, add a little motion sickness spell to at least put him at ease."
"Copy"
"Remove the illusion," Colt demands.
"Alright"
Ava flies away with Axel on the Falcon.
"What do we have here now. Are you two going to put up a fight?" Stormbringer asks.
"A fairer fight," Colt responds.
"More of a one sided afair in our favor" Fox says in a cocky tone as he sends one of his orbs.
Stormbringer bolts away with his quick speed.
"An orb, it appears to be chasing me. I should get rid of the boy with the orbs first."
He attempts to catch Fox.
"Since you want an orb so bad, here take this one," with his left hand, Fox does a pushing motion while doing a grabbing motion with his right hand.
The orb, going after Stormbringer, returns to Fox, and he gets hit head-on while trying to catch Fox.
HIT
MUTE
Stormbringer looks around in confusion, covering his ears. "I lost my hearing." He stares at Fox, grinning at him." A second orb gets sent to him as Stormbringer attempts to dodge it, but it follows him like a heat-seeking missile.
TOUCH
"That orb is unavoidable. What did this one do?"
SHOCK
Stormbringer gets hit with the Colts' attack.
ARGHH
"That pain was unimaginable. How did he?"
Fox's Vermillion Bird sends a fire wing attack.
Stormbringer channels lightning and thunder, shooting streams of it out of his hands. Tracking down the two birds as they fly around.
The two attempt to stay out of his vision as they go on opposite sides of him. One of them appears in front and the other in the back of him, circling.
Fox throws a third orb at him.
"A third one"
HIT
Stormbringer's vision becomes distorted. He sways back and forth. The blighting emanating from his hands defuses. As he rubs his head, "It feels like am drunk."
"Colt now"
"Got it."
Colt and Fox both attack from both sides.
Sandwiching Stormbringer between their attacks whilst at the same time adding the last three remaining orbs to Stormbringer's body.
"Complete hypnosis," Fox says.
"Jobs not done yet Fox, even though in this state he still-"
CRASH BOOM
Thunder and Lightning strikes appear from out of nowhere, the two nearly dodging all.
"I just had to open my mouth, huh?" Fox says.
"Tch look!"
A giant cloud forms as it maintains the shape of a face and a mouth."
"You boys did pretty well there. Complete hypnosis. You would have had me. But now I am going to end you and Boundera itself." Stormbringer says in a commanding voice.
A giant storm brews.
TRICKLE TRICKLE
DROP DROP
"AH"
Axel wakes up.
"You're awake, Mr.Student Council President."
"You're one of the Trifect Three, Ava Wells."
"Yes, I am. We saved right before that Phantom Order member hit you with that second thunder strike.
Axel looks on. "Send me back there, going to need help."
She stares at him, "Alright, cmon birdie. I'll get you as close to it as possible, can't afford to lose flight mid-way cause the rain."
Rain begins to fall once more, so much that it could create a flood. Lightning and thunder with each passing moment.
"Did he just become a storm itself?!" Fox yells out loud.
CHUCKLE
Colt laughs. "Good thing we came prepared." Colt scrolls through his book once more.
[ADVANCED SUMMONING MAGIC: SEA SERPENT]
A giant magic circle appears under Colt. The giant sea serpent emerged from it. Its ocean blue skin, with wings in each section of its midsection, allows it to fly, and purple eyes, with a blue mane-like upper, with the head of a snake.
"Like I said "A fairer fight." Colt says with confidence.
