Chapter 12 - Chapter 8 : The Alpha

As the dreaded Manwol approached, the sky turned turned black. Almost instantly before it arrived, the clouds thundered and it began to rain.

"Yena, clouds came from nowhere and it suddenly began to rain."

"Rain? Nothing's happening back here"

"Sir, it's here and it's huge!"

"It couldn't possibly control an element right?"

"All you can do is hope it doesn't, all we know about these Manwols it from the few pages that were retrieved. Be careful!"

"Zico, can you retreat?"

"I don't think so, it's heading straight this way, though it seems to have exchanged speed for power. If the situation worsens I'll try to avoid casualties as much as I can."

"We're counting on you, you've got to make this work."

"I sure hope I can..."

"Kai, get ready, we'll be needing some decent healing now."

"Ready the long range attacks, try barraging it before it gets too close. That'll at least give us some idea of its strength."

On Zico's orders hundreds of long range attacks were sent. The Manwol stopped for a moment and then continued walking as if nothing had happened.

"What kind of a monster is this! The cores on his back, we'll have to target that. Zico flash him in 5 seconds then everyone attack together."

As Zico blinded the Manwol, everybody attacked. Zico and Yuna were able to reach its back.

"Yuna this is it, we'll attack together to maximise impact! You ready?

"Yes, sir"

"Then on the count of 3, give it your all"

"One" "Two" "Three"

As the both stabbed the core, a huge shockwave was produced and everyone was on their backs.

Zico and Yuna were thrown back and fell on the ground. Zico unconscious and Yuna just barely in her senses.

The Manwol stopped and suddenly his stripes started glowing vibrantly as if he was charging for an attack.

All everyone could do was pray for help.

"Someone.... please.... help", Yuna said as she laid on the ground unable to move.

But just before she lost consciousness, she saw a white light flash and the Manwol fell to the ground.

The Alpha was down.
