Crystal landed on a building that was floating in the air, due to Jade's powers. She purred and studied the area.
(I command you to kill the Akies below you!) Lapris ordered. Crystal lifted her ears. "I told you…I didn't wanna be part of your stupid ability. Destroy my soul and put me back to rest" Crystal yawned.
Crystal felt a sharp pain on her left side. Black aura caused her alerts to peak. "That aura?" She turned her head and locked eyes with Aten, who was still possessing Adisa's body.
"It's…really…REALLY HIM!!!" Crystal screamed. Her body tensed up and her thighs grew in size. "I'll play along with your little spell, Lapris. That thing…is the last guardian of the golden era! I'd be happy to fight it!" Crystal purred.
Aten noticed Crystal crouch on all fours. (A beast? She came out of thin air it seemed. Unless…these things can do aura rituals too. Which shouldn't be right. Are these mix breeds? Some of the DNA comes from the king…which means…he or someone in the pack isn't fully beast. We have a half Akie and half beast amongst us. If that's not it, these things are evolving as they fight. Amazing. Who would've thought they could create and copy such abilities). Aten thought. He ignored Jade and focused on Crystal.
Crystal dropped down and prepared herself to jump. Aten put a hand on his sword. "I'd watch out if I were you, Jade." Aten chuckled.
Jade glanced over at Crystal. "That woman…how is she-"
Crystal managed to get face-to-face with Aten in a split second. Aten smiled and tapped his foot to teleport a few meters backwards.
Crystal waved her left hand around in a circular motion. Buildings in the area where being cut in half.
Crystal pointed at Aten with her right hand and snapped her fingers. Aten used his aura and surrounded his body.
Crystal noticed that her slashes had no affect on Aten. At least, the slashes where going around Aten and not making contact with the flesh.
(Aura repellent technique?) Crystal put both of her hands together and closed her eyes. (I'll whipe him away with this! He doesn't have the same abilities as the brat!)
Before Crystal could unleash her ability, Sendra appeared behind her and swung her sword.
Crystal ducked and jumped in the air, way above all of the buildings. "Spider-web slash!"
White lines appeared shaped like a perfect spider-web appeared in the air.
"WE NEED TO MOVE!" Joster yelled, as everyone had already begun to fly away. "You dumbasses didn't say a thing!" Joster was the last to clear the area. So he thought. Aten appeared in front of him and held out his hand. "How sad." Aten chuckled.
Joster was about to look in the corner to see how close the slashes were. "You die here…weakling."
Joster couldn't move. He knew if he moved or even looked away, Aten would kill him. Aten let out a laughter that was inhuman.
Joster thought about what he told Xavier about being a man. "What a cowards way to go out."
Aten stopped laughing and rolled his eyes. "Damn it. The lighting boy is back."
Xavier quickly flew towards the two men he pulled out Nightwing's claw and turned it backwards to shoot an lighting aira arrow at Aten.
Aten kicked Joster away and caught the arrow. "What?!" He gasped.
Aten spun around and threw the arrow at Crystal's attack. Her slashing attack broke apart and damaged more parts of the city.
Crystal dove through the lighting and landed in front of Aten. "You aren't even at full power. Yet, your energy is nothing but absolutely astonishing." Crystal purred.
"Appreciate it. You're no weakling yourself."
Crystal took a fighting stance and showed her claws. "There's been something on my mind." Aten sighed. "I remember…the first king and his memories. Is that why you guys are here?"
"Of course." Crystal purred. "We didn't start this war. You…your kind did." Crystal took a deep sniff and twitched her pointer finger. Aten noticed a white line coming towards him. He moved to the side and laughed, as multiple slashes came towards him. "What a perfect technique!" Aten jumped back and clapped his hands. (I can see them. Her slashes…aren't on the same deminsion scale like other attacks. Interesting! Very interesting!) a black ball of energy formed above him. Crystal was stunned by the size of it. "Mow that's a surprise!" Aten smiled and pointed at her. "Good luck."
The ball flew towards her, erasing everything in it's path. Crystal created a clone and jumped away from the ball. The clone and ball created an explosion that nearly shaked the entire city.
Jade appeared behind Aten. "You again-"
Alayah jumped over her and kicked Aten in the back, causing him to go flying near a building.
"Expansion: Zombia! Summon of divine general: Frankenstein!"
A giant zombie-like creature emerged from the ground and grabbed Aten. Aten knew something was wrong. (I can't move? On top of that, my aura is decreasing.)
"Now!"
Alayah screamed.
Sendra jumped in the air and held her arm behind her. While in the air, she thought about Jade's plan.
******
"The plan isn't to kill or harm him. If we do that, we might harm Adisa. We need to pressure him. Back him into a corner and seal him." Jade said.
"How are we supposed to do that, sis?" Joster asked while scratching his head.
"Well…" Jade walked over and wrapped her arms around Sendra. "She's the key! Tell them your power, please."
Sendra rolled her eyes and raised her pointer finger. A small black hole was formed. The wind was strong…so strong it pulled everyone closer.
"I can create black holes as I please. Hell…I could destroy the whole planet and put everyone inside of it. We will seal him away with this."
"Okay…what if Adisa comes back? Then what? How will you know?" Xavier asked.
"We wouldn't know. We just go off of a hunch feeling." Gritha said. "I like the plan. Keep the pressure and corner him…then, Sendra will make her move."
*****
"This is it." Sendra whispered as, she summoned a giant black hole. The entire city was beginning to lift from the ground.
Gritha flew and slammed her spear into the ground. The woman's muscles flexed, as she managed to hold the entire city in place.
"Expansion: Black Hole Of Eternity!"
Aten watched, as the black hole covered why seemed to be the sky. He and Alayah's creature were starting to get sucked into the black hole.
Aten used his aura and moved the monster off of him. "Do NOT LET GO!!" Alayah ordered the creature. The monster leaped in the air and grabbed Aten's arm. "Damn!" Aten yelled.
(This creature has a summoning vow. Whatever this woman commands…it's going to happen. As long as it's not death…the creature has the ability to allow anything it wants to happen…thanks to the vow. Amazing! These Akies keep surprising me more and more!)
The creature grabbed onto Aten and couldn't let go. Aten couldn't escape…no matter what. "The only way to get rid of the vow…is to kill or distrupt the users aura flow. Aura flow is needed to use a vow."
Aten turned his head to see the black hole growing larger in size. "Open!" Sendra's black hole started to suck Aten and the creature in.
Aten couldn't do anything. He entered the black hole. Nothing but darkness. A vision flashed his mind.
(The dark…im always lost in the dark!)
Aten and the creature was about to be sealed. The black hole started to close but, Aten's power had jumped from 1% to 2% while inside of the hole.
"This…is NOTHING!!!" Aten laughed, as he held out his hand. Sendra felt the black hole getting smaller.
"Wha-?"
Aten shrunked the black hole and held it in his hand. "Haha…AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Aten flew above everyone in the area.
"He…can…escape and hold a black hole in the palm of his hand?!"
Gritha raised her spear from the ground and immediately ran towards Sendra. "Sendra, move!!!"
Alayah clapped her hands. She surrounded herself with her own zombies.
Xavier grabbed Jade and jumped to the ground. Aten, with the flick of his fingers, sent the black hole back at Sendra.
"There's no way…someone can-"
Sendra was hit directly with the black hole. The explosion nearly took out half of the city. "Hahaha! Excellent! That was all she could offer me. I'm done with her! I believe the girl will be next!" Aten laughed.
Gritha waited for the dust to clear. Sendra was laying in the street. She had a giant hole in her chest. "SENDRA!!!" Gritha ran towards her. Sendra gasped for air and looked at the sky.
"Bring Alicia!"
*****
Alayah removed the zombies and noticed Aten floating above her. "You're interesting. Your abilities are a problem…I'll have to kill you next." Aten said.
Alayah stared at Aten and clinched her fist. "Give him back…give my captain back to me."
Aten had a confused look on his face. "Oh, you must mean the boy. Don't worry…he'll be back shortly…maybe. You won't be alive to see him."
"No, I'll live."
(She reminds me of that girl…so many years ago. Don't tell me…this one is in love.)
Aten sighed and put his hands together.
"Have you never cared for anyone?! Why must you destroy?! Why are you so damn cruel and evil?! You should be helping your people…not killing us!"
Alayah yelled.
"Kid." Aten whispered.
Alayah lifted her head and looked him in the eyes. "What's your name?"
Alayah ignored him and snapped her fingers. A massive zombie emerged from the ground and jumped at Aten.
Crystal sliced it's head off in the distance. "We aren't done, guardian." Crystal jumped off of the nearby building and held her hands out.
Aten reached for his sword. "Looks like the cat is back. I'll deal with you after I kill her, Kay? Go run and hide." Aten chuckled.
Alayah froze in place. (This…isn't even a sweat to him. This is all a damn game. This is the power…of a god?)
Jade and Xavier bursted through buildings and flew at Aten together. (Three on one? Everyone wants a piece of me.)
Aten flew in the sky and towards Crystal. He noticed the coffin had moved and was behind Crystal. (It's close to opening. I predict I have three or so kills left.
"First, I'll kill the cat! Then, I'm gonna kill that girl." Aten flew towards Crystal. (I'll create a aura barrier. It'll last five minutes. All I need to kill this cat!)
Top point system scorers:
Aten/Adisa-1,235 points
Obsidian-1,140
Ember-1,134
Crystal/Lapis-1,102
Akies are in the lead. If anyone is able to kill Aten, they'll have his points added to theirs.
The points shifted the battle of the strongest, Udo Vs Wonder.
******
Udo watched, as the two giants flew towards Splinter.
(I won't waste this time!) Udo turned around. "Help them with the giants. I have a fight to finish."
"Did you not see his face? I think this woman knew-"
"I don't care about that! We need to kill the giants and fast! It's only a matter of time before Wonder completely evolves past me. Besides…I'm not done yet." Udo said with a smile. He flew towards Wonder.
"Damn it." Ellowyn sighed. She picked up a staff and flew towards the two giants.
Splinter, Dora, and Kenan all flew backwards and into the forest. "I lost my cool." Splinter admitted.
"That's badass. Your power has risen a lot from that!" Dora laughed, as Preta and Tesma pursued them.
******
Wonder could feel his mind being healed. "Almost fully healed. Once I can get my mind under control again…I'll be fine." Wonder purred.
"You done talking to yourself or what?" Udo asked. Wonder smiled and swung his body around. "I must say…you're a tuff one. I'm curious to how this battle will end.
(This bastard is healing his brain. My limit breaker has worn off. I'm at a huge disadvantage. But, I am Udo)
Udo took a deep breath and placed his hands together. "Expansion."
Wonder's eyes widened. (He shouldn't be able to-)
Wonder felt a sharp pain in his stomach. "What did you do?!" Wonder was sent flying through the air and landed on the ground, making a giant crater.
"I have lots of tricks up my sleeve. You aren't winning this fight. It's almost funny that you think you can."
"I saw it with my own eyes. You activated a quick expansion. Less than a second. Amazing…always coming up with something." Wonder chuckled.
Wonder healed himself with his mind and closed his eyes. (Still, I have this feeling…something is wrong. I'm using half of my primal unleashed and haven't fully transformed. Half should be more than enough to kill him. Interesting.) Wonder held out his arms and laughed. "I can hear people coming from far away…who did you call?"
Udo chuckled. "They aren't coming here. They're headed to Lapis's expansion."
"Is that so? I'll allow it. My warriors could use a challenge." Wonder purred.
"Hmph."
"Why the frown? The people you're sending are powerful. Hell, not even too far from your power."
"Excatly. That's the problem. You're letting them pass by? No issues?" Udo asked.
Wonder shrugged. "No issues."
Udo stared into his eyes. "What…did you do?"
