Dark Lance has his claws around Nina neck, contemplating whether to kill or not.
Dark Lance: Are you my enemy? (Dark Lance asks once more)
Lora and the others arrive at the scene and spot Dark Lance.
Lora Magma: Lance Stop! (Lora yells, stopping him from going any further)
Dark Lance: Are you my enemy? (Lance asks before suddenly grabbing his head)... No, you're my friend. You're all my friends. (Lance said calmly, retracting his claws).
Suddenly Leon falls from the sky, and lands in their midst.
Leon Chronos: (Sighs) I'm so glad you're all safe. Woah, what's happening here? (Leon asks as he notices the situation)
Dark Lance: Enemy!!! (Lance yells as be suddenly attacks Leon with a punch)
Dark Lance's punch hits Leon with enough force to push everyone back, but Leon caught the punch inches from his face.
Leon Chronos: His strength is incredible, almost like Enhancement magic. (Leon thought)
Then spikes shoot out from Lance's fist, tearing through Leon's fingers. Leon punches Lance with his other hand, sending him crashing through several tress.
John Crest: Are you okay? (John asks worriedly, staring at Leon's busted fingers)
Leon Chronos: (Groans in pain) I'm okay, you all stay here. I'll handle this. (Leon tells them, for he's ready for the fight)
Lora Magma: Please don't kill him! (Lora begs)
Leon Chronos: Kill him, I would never do that. I'm just gonna beat him back to normal! (Leon declared)
Dark Lance rushes back to the fight, clawing at Leon like a wild animal. Leon effortlessly evades Dark Lance's claws but retreats when Dark Tendrils appear from his body. The tendrils were like whips, cutting through trees in their bid to annihilate Leon.
Leon uses his enhanced speed to get behind Dark Lance and kick him in the back. Causing him to bounce through the forest floor, before smashing against a tree to come to a violent stop. Leon then notices a deep gash in his leg, gotten from Dark Lance's spikes.
Both combatants are injured but Dark Lance has healing abilities and gets back up, fully recovered.
Leon Chronos: Are you kidding me?! (Leon yells, ignoring his own injuries)
Dark Lance: Die, you monster! (Dark Lance yells before resuming his attack on Leon)
Leon Chronos: Monster? **(Laughs)** Look whose talking. (Leon jokes but he's actually in big trouble, due to the injuries on his hand and foot his movements are slower than normal, and his attacks lack the finesse from before, this allows Dark Lance to gain the advantage against the Elite Mage)
As Leon dodges he thinks about this form Lance has taken. It bears a resemblance to the one from his vision, but in said vision they fought together, now their fighting against one another, and he can't help but wonder if this was due to his tampering with time. He doesn't regret it one bit, because if he hadn't done what he did those people in that village would have died, and he couldn't have that on his conscience.
Dark Lance: Enough games! Try running from this! (Dark Lance yells before blasting the Poison Cloud)
This Poison Cloud is enormous and tears through the entire forest like a hurricane. This poison is a thousand times more potent, killing everything in it's path.
Lora and the New Mages are about to be engulfed by it when Rex's shield appears and forms a protective bubble around them all.
Shield: Defense!!! I will defend you all! (The shield bubble yells)
Rex Striker: Are you all okay? (Rex asks and they all reply "Yes")
John Crest: Great spirits. Look what he's doing to our camp. (John says as he watches the Poison Cloud destroy everything)
Sebastian Tempest: Lora, What is he? (Sebastian asks with a worried look on his face)
Lora Magma: I promise I'll explain everything when this is all over... I hope (Lora tells them, unsure of what was going to happen to Lance)
Leon Seals the Poison Cloud and it vanishes almost instantly, rage fills Leon's eyes as he stares down Dark Lance, ready to end this fight.
Leon Chronos: Reverse! (Leon yells as he uses his reverse technique, a time spell that reverses all the damage done to his body, it's same technique he used to save the village)
Dark Lance rushes towards the enraged Leon with spikes covering his body. But Leon is no longer holding back, as Dark Lance gets close enough, Leon launches a punch that moved so fast his fist caught fire as a result.
The punch hits Dark Lance sending him rocketing through the air. He bursts into flames and hits a mountain with enough force to topple it, this creates a massive landslide that buries Dark Lance alive, ending the fight.
*******
After the fierce battle, a squad of knights arrive at the destroyed training camp. Apparently John Crest had sent a Messenger Hawk to the knight's headquarters, explaining all that had happened. The knights eventually find and arrest Lance Grey, taking him into a dungeon at the castle.
Everyone is angry at John but who can blame him after all that had happened.
Lance is now in a dungeon still unconscious from his fight, and is dreaming of something terrifying. In his dream he is in a Dark world, with the darkness stretching as far as the eye can see, when suddenly a huge gust of wind pushes him to the ground. A creature emerges from the Dark vortex in the form of a Hyena.
Dark Hyena: Greetings Master. It's nice to see you again. (The creatures tells him with a smile on it's face.
Next: Cursed People.
