Millie, Leon, and Amala jumped up and attacked Axel. Who blocked Leon and Amala. And instantly turned Millie's powers off. Leon and Amala slashed down at Axel. Who equipped his suit and blocked them.
Axel: Tiring.
Axel punched Amala in the face and sent her flying back. Leon slashed at Axel. Who nonchalantly blocked his sword. More fixated on Amala. Leon made his sword transparent and slashed in. He slashed into Axel's arm.
Axel: Again?
Axel lashed out and kicked Leon off of him. Axel picked up Amala by the head.
Axel: Mom's been tired of you spreading lies about her. All we did was steal your sword. How is that bad?
Leon: Hey dick! Let go of her!
Axel: What are you going to do about it dumbass? You can't even scratch me.
Axel made a giant energy ball.
Axel: Now you die.
Leon punched Axel square in the face. Axel stumbled back and dropped Amala.
Leon: Back off.
Leon had a red mark burnt onto him. It was on his cheek. He slashed his sword at Axel and actually left a cut. Leon made a bunch of purple needles all around Axel and shot them at him. Axel jumped out of the way and kneed Leon in the face. Leon took the hit and punched Axel in the stomach. Axel fell down and shot a bunch of energy blasts at Leon. Leon jumped out of the way and dodged all the blasts. They turned around and hit Leon and knocked him down. Leon moved through and made a shield around him and shot a bunch of blasts at Axel. Axel made a purple shield around him and shot a bunch of blasts at Leon. They got closer and closer until they ran into each other. And fell to the ground. Axel was knocked out of his suit and Leon out of his demon mark. Leon stabbed his sword forward. Axel dodged and punched Leon in the face. Leon shot a bunch of fireballs at Axel. Axel tanked them all and backhanded Leon. Sending him flying. He tried to get up. But the pain was too much. Axel came over to Leon.
Axel: Mom said I could have one freebie. An eye for an eye if you will.
Axel picked up Leon by the neck. But felt something pierce through his skin. Amala's blade. Axel dropped Leon. And Amala pulled her blade out. Axel fell to the ground. Amala put her hand out to Leon.
Amala: You okay kid?
Leon grabbed Amala's hand. She helped him to his feet slowly. They went over to an unconscious Millie to check on her.

Terra carefully took off the gauntlet and fired it right at Ivan. Ivan shot a lightning bolt right at the gauntlet to stop it but the lightning bolt bounced off and hit Ivan instead. He was hit into the air next by her gauntlet. Terra jumped up and kicked Ivan out of the air. He switched and made a shield around himself just before he got kicked down. Terra hit Ivan on the back with one of her gauntlets and kicked him low. He fell backward but stayed grounded.
Ivan: Interesting. So you can reflect attacks?
Terra didn't stop her assault. She flipped her spear around and broke Ivan's shield with the first hit and then hit Ivan in the face with the stick part and followed up with a slash up his armor. Sending him in the air. Terra took off her other gauntlet and hit Ivan with both in the air. Ending with a punch to the ground. Ivan surrounded himself with water and then infused the water with lightning. He shielded himself with this. Terra ran up to him again. But he grabbed her with his telekinesis and threw her into the pool. Like a shock, Terra felt her destruction form leave her. She tried bringing it back. But it didn't work. Ivan shot a bunch of electricity into the water. Terra felt the electrocution. But her suit negated some of it. She jumped out of the water as fast as she could manage and hoped Ivan didn't notice.
Ivan: So Jilaya was right. Being submerged in water turns off your destruction.
Shit. He noticed. Terra called her gauntlets back and fired destruction back on. But before she got the chance to do anything Ivan slashed his sword at her. She jumped back. Ivan dropped hot water on her. Luckily not knocking her out of her form. He kicked her back and charged a huge lightning strike and fired it straight at her. She got hit head on but felt the power calling to her. She used her Artemis powers to redirect the entire lightning strike back out of her hands. And right into Ivan. Firing him through the glass of the house. Terra took the chance to throw her gauntlets out and pin Ivan down. She lost her destruction form however. Ivan was on his knees and pinned with his hands on the ground. This was it. It was her moment. She could do this for her friends. For Amelia, for Donny, for her friends and family from her village that was burnt down. She raised her spear and swung down. But what would revenge do to her? She saw what it did to Amelia. Maybe it was time to let go. Not do things for revenge. But do them to inspire the people of the future. To free the fallen metas and finish the work she started so long ago. So she stopped right before she stabbed through Ivan's head. But when she got lost in her thoughts Ivan grabbed his sword and freed himself and slashed straight up. Terra stumbled back and felt blood leaking down her face. A huge cut was up her face. She could taste the blood. Taste her fate. Taste her hate for Ivan.
Ivan: I can't kill you. Unless something like that happens. But you couldn't bring yourself to do it. Can you?
Terra: Shut up. I'm not going to kill you! There is a better way! There has to be!
Ivan: I don't know. Is there?
Terra couldn't do anything else. She was blinded by blood. Ivan shot a blast of lightning at her. Blasting her through a wall. And right next to Amala, Leon and Millie. Ivan saw Axel's body.
Ivan: Axel!
Ivan went right over to Axel and looked at him.
Axel: Don't worry. It was just a stab wound. I can take it.
Ivan: Right. You'll be fine. Heart chakra.
Ivan held his hand over Axel's wound and healed it up almost instantly.
Ivan: Now watch and learn.
Leon and Amala got up in front of Terra and Millie.
Leon: Back up! We won't just stand here an-
Ivan electrocuted both of them and sent them flying back. Terra got to her feet slowly. Ivan picked her up by the throat.
Ivan: Checkmate.
Terra put her palm on Ivan's stomach.
Terra: Same to you.
Terra and Ivan both lost all their power and fell to the ground. They were both extremely pale. And unconscious,
Axel & Amala: What the hell?!
Axel went over to Ivan and felt him. Amala went over to Terra and felt her. She felt like she was burning up. But it was something worse than a simple flu.
Leon: What's wrong?
Amala: She's burning up.
???: Artemis's disease power. Isn't it?
Leon: Integer.
Jilaya: Hello and goodbye.
The light coming from Jilaya's welding mask's eyes got even brighter until it blinded both Leon and Jilaya. So much so it knocked them out.
