Chapter 83 - The Voice Returns

"Anyway, even if...and as you can tell by now it's a really big if. You go past all of that, then there's the Dark King. Man, even though we are scared of him, he's been preparing for this for years. He actually wants to see you though. It must be an old age thing I guess, seeing what becomes of legacies."

[Tiga]

"Who is he?"

[Twilight]

"Oh, that's a good question. It's actually mind blowing. Unfortunately, I can't tell you that. It's all a part of his plan. He hopes to show you in person soon who he really is."

[Tiga]

"Can you tell me where he is then? Maybe we can speed up this process a bit?"

[Twilight]

"You know, actually, I think I've told you enough for now, let's see if you can defeat me or it was all just show, then maybe I'll tell you more...maybe even about your mom."

[Tiga, chuckling]

Activating what seems to be a spell circle Tiga fires off a beam of light at Twilight. Using his daggers to defend himself Twilight reflects the attack, sending it in the direction of Obitiga. Barely missing him and slicing into the side of the mountain.

"Good, you've got great reflexes. This won't just be a short underwhelming battle."

[Tiga, laughing]

"What kind of attack was that?"

[Twilight, with confusion in his eyes]

"I can tell you're at a loss for words."

[Tiga]

"Yeah, I've met Battle Light Mages before. But none have had a spell like that."

[Twilight]

"Well I'm no regular Light Mage. I am an Arch Mage after all."

[Tiga]

Knowing now this meant the fight shouldn't be taken lightly. Twilight releases his dagger activating his D'acqui spell coating his dagger in darkness.

"Light vs. Dark, I like the combination. Let's see what happens."

[Tiga]

Twilight goes in for the attack, clashing his dagger with Tiga being human, nothing was that special about Tyga. Just that her race had a spell cast upon them at birth to  connect to certain stones for strengthened essence. From what Twilight could tell she had no way to defend herself. Instead she pulled out her shield and went. Blocking Twilight's attack with her shield so holds her ground. Twilight then. He then reaches to his back, pulling out his other dagger attempting to strike from above, Tiga then brings her wand over, knocking his dagger away. Lifting her shield she throws Twilight back once again. Leaping from her position she brings a streak of light down onto Twilight. Blocking with both daggers he is wedged down into the ground. 

"Did you really think an attack that weak would defeat me?"

[Tiga, angerly] 

"You insult US! "

[Tiga]

Turning his movement into a backflip he does his best to jump away from Tiga. She instead lunges again charging at him. Knocking her shield into his stomach she knocks him down again. He quickly tumbles in the other direction. 

"You're an Insolent child, you know that."

  [Tiga, making her way towards Twilight] 

"However, being able to just escape that attack so easily, is not something simple. SO GET UP! Our Fight isn't over!"

[Tiga]

Coming to his feet Twilight dashes in to attack again. Creating a Shield of Light Tiga protects herself. Activating his skill Dark Spids upon impact Twilight sends out three small spiders to help me fight. They begin an assault at the Shield of L:ight created. Eventually one of the Spids breaks through attacking Tiga as she doesn't fully notice it until it's too late. Turning the part of her skin a bit black she begins to back away from Tilight.

"The pain, I can't believe you were able to land a blow. "

[Tiga, wincing in pain]

Thinking he had one, though too easily, Twilight begins making his way towards Tiga. Only to arrive at her with a ball of light to his chest. She laughs as she dash back towards him, Jabbing her wand into his stomach. Being sent flying back, he spits out blood. Landing some on Tiga's wand itself. Wiping his fresh blood on her clothing Tiga calls out for Twilight.

  "WAKE UP! DON'T GO TO SLEEP OVER THERE! WE JUST STARTED. "

[Tiga, with a smile]

Coming too with blurry eyes, Twilight begins to groan as he stands to his feet.

"How do I defeat someone this strong?"

[Twilight, thinking to himself]

Pulling himself together he begins to hear a voice.

  "You know you could just ask for my help."

  [Strange Voice] 

Confused Twilight takes a moment to remember the voice. 

"Elopiah is that you?"

[Twilight] 

"You should remember by now." 

[Strange Voice]

"I don't have time to play guessing games."

[Twilight, in a rush]

" I know, but if you don't remember me then I don't want to help."

[Strange Voice]

"Are you the one from the forest? "

[Twilight]

"Yes, and I'm not Elopiah."

[Strange Voice from within]

" I do, however, speak through you like she does."

[Strange Voice from within]

"What are you?"

[Twilight, responding back]

" Your true power she spoke of."

[Twilight]

"I've returned to you a long time ago."

[Strange voice from within]

"My true power has returned?" 

[Twilight, confused]

"So you mean what happened in the forest where I blackout, that was you."

[Twilight]

"Why yes, and I got us out of that situation."

[Strange Voice from within]

"You should trust me more often, especially now."

[Strange Voice]

"What do we have to do?"

[Twilight]

Watching him talk to himself Tiga begins to wonder what is going on. Twilight looks at her heading her way towards him and lets out a howl. A dark shadow begins to engulf him. His silhouette was all that was visible. You could see it as it began to change. Growing in size, a tail begins to form from behind. His arms looked as though they were turning into claws. As the darkness leaves we move in on a fully transformed Twilight. Letting out another howl, Twilight begins to chuckle.

"Are you prepared for battle now!"

[Tiga,in a distorted voice]

"Oh! It looks like that puts you to sleep."

[Transformed Twilight, distorted voice continues]

"Who is he talking to?"

[Tiga, whispering to herself]

"You!"

[Transformed Twilight, appearing behind Tiga]

Bringing his left claw down the transformed Twilight, strikes Tiga into the ground, bouncing her body up a few feet due to impact. This causes her to spit out blood and approach blacking out. Before she could she feels another impact pushing her from the side.

"What's going on? How could he have gotten so strong so quickly."

[Tiga, as she flies towards the mountain]

Slamming into the mountain she leaves a dent.

"That was too easy! I thought I would get more fun out of you!"

[Transformed Twilight, laughing]

As the dust clears Tiga pulls herself together. Still confused on the power jump Twilight just displayed she prepares herself for round two.

"Impressive."

[Tiga, spitting blood on the ground]

"What changed about you so quickly!"

[Tiga, beginning to reapproach the middle of the field]

"My Child, can't you tell who I am!"

[Transformed Twilight, smiling

"Twilight??"

[Tiga, confused]

"No, but no matter, either way you won't be alive long for me to really  explain."

[Transformed Twilight, disappearing from the location]

Unsure where he is Tiga feels an arm tap her shoulder.

"Were you looking for me?"

[Transformed Twilight, with one arm hold a dark looking sphere]
