"I can't..... do it.... No matter how hard I try.... I'll never be good enough" little Akagi said as he sat on the ground.
"Akagi, you can do it- You can control your sila, try again, dear" Minji Scheczalier, Akagi's mother said as she sat beside him.
"I can't.... It always runs out of control and I always end up breaking something." Akagi said as he plucked the grass.
"Akagi, if you think that, then you'll really not be able to do anything." She said.
"What are you saying mom? At least motivate your son a little." He said.
"Ha ha... what I mean is, there will be a lot of people who will try to show you down, so, at least you should respect yourself and believe in yourself."
"And that means?" He said.
"Sometimes, you have to be your own hero.... because sometimes the people who you can't live without...
Can live without you...."
"HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Akagi shouted as he took the hammer and ran towards the other demigod.
"COME- MY SILA- SKOROST!!!" He shouted and suddenly, he disappeared in thin air.
"Did he run away?" The girl said.
"No, that's his sila." Kim said and the metal soldiers started falling down one by one.
'Just as I expected.' Kim thought 'Skorost- The Sila of Speed- gives you a speed which is beyond human eye perceiving strength.'
The entire army of 500 metal soldiers was shredded to pieces within 56 seconds.
Akagi stood in front of Kim without a drop of sweat on his face.
"WOW! SKOROST!! AMAZING!!" The girl said as she clapped her hands.
"Scar, we're using the 7th spell." Kim said as he opened the diary.
"Milord, why does he have a diary with him?" Melissa said.
"He possibly can't remember 47 magic names. He has written them down in the diary." Akagi said.
"THAT'S CRAZY!!" Melissa said.
"7th spell- 3rd form- PURINA OURINE!!" Kim said and the girl was surrounded by two bazookas.
She grabbed one of them and fired a shot.
Akagi dodged it and started running again.
She continued firing until Akagi reached her and smashed her bazooka.
"You're slow." Akagi said.
"Nice cologne" Scar said.
"I didn't ask your opinion, f**k off." Akagi said as he smashed the hammer on her but she dodged it.
As she dodged it, Akagi kicked her leg and she landed on the ground.
He kept his feet on her neck and raised his hammer for his final blow.
His eyes shined bright red even through his blue contacts.
"It's the real deal." Kim said with an evil smile.
"What?" Melissa said.
"IT'S A TRAP, MELISSA- REVERT!" Akagi said.
"Too late." Scar said as she grabbed Akagi's leg.
"WHA-"
"SCAR! 43rd spell- ROSA SWOGARIS!!" Kim said and soon Akagi was surrounded by hundreds of swords.
Till this time, Melissa had reverted back and stood outside the circle of the swords surrounding Akagi.
"Milord! WHAT'S THIS? WHAT SHOULD I DO?" Melissa said.
"... Run" Akagi said.
"WHAT ARE YOU-"
"IT'S AN ORDER! RUN!! AND DON'T LOOK BACK" Akagi said.
".....Yes" Melissa said as she turned back and looked at her feet.
"Please wait." She heard a familiar voice and looked ahead of her.
"LITTY LITTY!" Melissa said.
"I'll fight too, Melissa." Vierne said as she stood beside Lict.
"YOU IDIOT!! I TOLD YOU TO RUN!" Akagi said.
"I am sorry, but, I only follow my lady's orders." Lict said with a smile.
"You too, Vierne?" Akagi said.
"Someone once told me that humans are a result of 1 billion years of evolution and I should act like it. I'm just following his words." Vierne said with a smile.
"YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND!" Akagi said.
"I never had it in the first place." Vierne said with a smile.
Akagi was dumbstruck.
He smiled and said "Do anything you want but don't die… cause if you do…. I'll follow you down to hell, I'll find you and kick you ass!"
"Understood, Uchitel!" Vierne said and stabbed Lict.
She took a deep breath and said "Lict! Protect me! Protect me like you promised me you would! THIS IS AN ORDER- FROM YOUR LADY DEMIGOD HERSELF!"
The red string of fate was sewn, but something was different.
This time, it was a thicker, stronger bond.
The pact was formed.
"A girl Demigod? This is fresh." Scar said. Kim just stared at Vierne.
"LICT! THIRD MAGIX- VIVANA MUSICA- SECOND FORM!! LET'S GO!!" Vierne said.
"VIVANA MUSICA!!" Lict shouted as he moved his hands and formed two walls of golden musical notes.
"Is that all you've got?" Scar said.
"All I've ever got, is everything I'll ever need." Lict said with a smile.
"Ha ha.... interesting, finally an elite star, it's been long, hasn't it, 'The Hour Of Music'?" Scar said.
"Sorry, I don't understand what the hell you're talking about." Lict said with a smile.
"So that's your play? Fine, I'll play along." Scar said.
She chipped her fingers and suddenly, all the arrows around Akagi disappeared.
"I'll take you on later, Red eyes." Scar said with a smile.
"Scar! 30th spell, VIVANA SILENCA!!" Kim said.
Soon, Scar produced two silver walls just like Lict. They just didn't have the musical notes.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Vierne shouted.
"Music Vs. Silence.... that's some extraordinary parade you find once once a while." Melissa said.
"This seems interesting, so you'll now be using my magic against me?" Lict said.
"Of course! I'm fighting 'Music' after all, I can't possibly give you any openings." Scar said.
"Very well, then, I shall make the first move!" Lict shouted as he waved his hands and moved the golden wall towards Scar.
Scar did the same.
But as soon as both the walls collided....
Something unbelievable happened...
The golden wall broke as soon as the silver wall touched it causing a huge explosion and releasing a tremendous amount of energy.
Melissa, Lict and Scar produced a shield in front of their respective Demigods to protect them from the heat waves.
"How can this... happen?" Lict said as he stood there, bewildered "How did my magic... become so weak...."
"You've become weaker since last time." Scar said.
"I-"
"Ah! Shut up!" She said as she moved her hands towards him and chanted a silent spell. He fell on the ground in pain.
"This- This is-" Lict said.
"You remember this magic? It increases the gravity around you, putting a greater force on your body." Scar said.
"LICT!!" Vierne shouted.
"You still have that curse? To be honest, I thought you died long ago, but oh well, if you think about it... guess music can't really die." Scar said and increased the force.
"Ghhhh!!" Lict said.
"But.... it can suffer, right?" She said.
"Lict!" Vierne said as she ran towards Lict.
"Stop." Kim said.
Suddenly, Vierne's body stopped.
"Eh? Huh? I can't move!" Vierne said.
"Milady! Stop it, Scar!" Lict said.
"You haven't changed at all, huh? Even now, all you care about....
Is others....
Don't you... brother?" Scar said with a smile.
