Iris feels the pain intensifying in her chest, the roots crumble to the ground, Alita turns around in a panic. She finds the witch on her knees holding her chest while wincing in pain.
"Iris!"
Alita snorted, the Witch was unreliable now. She saw Andreas, who was swinging his sword at them again.
The vampire girl ruffled her hair roughly, she snorted again, her body was slowly enveloped in a yellowish black shadow. She turned into a giant bat, soared into the sky, and flapped her wings, swooping down on her step-brother.
Iris groaned on the ground, the pain spreading throughout her body. The heat was burning, her hands clawed at the ground, scraping her nails until they were bleeding, she was curled up in pain.
Alita doesn't have time to deal with Iris' pain. Andreas didn't give her time to stop, her step-brother-brother kept swinging the sword that contained the White Wizard's power. Once or twice, Alita wings were scratched, numbing her in an instant.
"My dearest sister, why don't you just help your brother? Together we behead Thomas. " Andreas chattered while laughing out loud. His eyes were shining with madness, and his clothes were stained with Alita's black blood.
Alita dodged Andreas' sword stab, but she was too late, her wings were violently stabbed by Andreas. When the vampire girl fell to the ground, she returned to the form of a vampire girl whose head drooped helplessly.
Alita wings slowly disappeared, turning into a pair of hands that were stabbed by Andreas.
"I will not help you," said Alita in a trembling voice, she was no longer able to move a finger, all her strength was exhausted.
Andreas chuckled softly, pulling out the stab of his sword. "I changed my mind. Ending your life now would make mom happy."
Andreas raised his sword high, the grin on his face getting wider and full of crazed killing lust, Alita just closed her eyes in resignation.
"Argh!!"
Iris screamed, Andreas frowned and turned to Iris, Alita turned her head slowly to see Iris' condition.
The Witch again screamed, her hands gripping her hair roughly, she knelt and banged her head on the ground over and over again.
"She's gone mad," Andreas sneered with a big smile, as if getting an interesting spectacle, he pulled his sword from Alita, headed towards Iris.
Morgan heard Iris scream from a distance, he was about to catch up with Iris, but Kyle held him back with the two steel wings. The wolf growled and bit the Harpy's wings brutally.
Iris was acting like a lunatic, she was still screaming as if she had lost consciousness. Her head was full of blood and dirt, her long hair spread on the ground, stepped on by Andreas.
"Wow, it's so noisy, I'll behead you first."
Andreas swung his sword at Iris's head, Alita rolled her eyes, her hoarse voice shouting. "Iris!"
"Want to chop off my head?" Iris looked up with a face full of blood, she laughed and caught Andreas' sword.
"What... What are you doing? " Andreas screamed, and the word containing the White Wizard's power suddenly melted, falling to the ground, leaving its hilt.
Iris's hand wasn't bleeding, but emitting a thick red smoke that was hot, Andreas froze.
"You're the one I'll behead first." Iris grinned widely behind her bloodied face, her hair floating in the air, suffused with red smoke.
"Who are you?!"
Andreas immediately backed away, seeing Iris' hideous appearance, he tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground wide-eyed.
Iris chuckled, the air around her slowly rising around her, feeling scorching hot. Alita gaped wide, too surprised by Iris.
"BLAR!"
The smoke hit the ground and made a loud booming sound, Iris mumbled something. Iris' voice became colder and sounded evil. She raised her hand towards Andreas, and the man jumped up in fright.
Alita saw the ground hit by the red smoke, with big holes and leaving hot air. She was shaking, fear suddenly ran through her body.
"Troubleshooter…." Iris mumbled again, she put her palms together. The red smoke was getting bigger, forming a hot mist roll, getting bigger and bigger and covering the whole area, Andreas, Alita, Morgan, Kyle, and the Harpies were frozen staring around.
They and Iris were trapped in the scroll of mist, Alita closed her eyes, when she opened them again, she saw a blinding light followed by a very loud explosion sound.
Alita ears were ringing, her vision was blurry, and dhe didn't know what was going on. The last sight she could faintly see was Iris's long legs striding slowly past her body, which was drooping on the ground in silence.
Then there was silence, he saw nothing else, still and quiet, as if the battle was over.
***
Thomas blinked his eyes open, a long white hair dangling past his face, his small shoulders tightening, those blunt nails piercing his skin. Thomas looked up.
Behind him was a tall man with long white hair, he wore a white robe. His face looked unfriendly, his mouth tightly shut.
He's a White Wizard.
"My bunny has gone too far...." A cold voice escaped his mouth, his white eyes looked empty and devoid of light, blinking slowly.
"I …." Thomas was about to open his mouth again, but his body was stiff, standing on his frozen legs.
He didn't know what had happened, a few seconds ago he felt his body being knocked off the horse, falling with a thud to the ground, but when he opened his eyes again, he was standing on the dark side of the sea, the waves crashing under his feet, the cold seawater splashing against him.
"I'm curious," the White Witch continued with narrowed eyes, Thomas looked up slowly, and their eyes met.
The White Wizard's lips lifted, forming a thin grin.
"JLEB!"
Thomas widened his eyes, a sword stabbed right in his heart, he coughed out fresh blood.
Though the Wizard's hands were still on his shoulders, preventing him from moving. Drops of blood fell on the crashing waves beneath his feet, and the boy coughed again, his pain and aches gathered.
"Krek!"
The sword was pulled violently, Thomas fell onto the sand of the sea, he clutched his hollow chest, the fishy smell of blood stinging his nostrils.
"Be nice, I just want your head." The White Wizard grabbed Thomas' hair, the bloodstained sword was placed on the boy's neck, he scratched it slightly, making blood gush from it.
Thomas was shaking violently, his lower body was submerged in seawater, the cold that made him freeze, his blood continued to flow profusely, mixed with seawater, blackened.
The sword swung, ready to cut off Thomas' head, the boy felt time move slowly, his eyes opened wide, drops of blood mixed with seawater dripped down his clothes.
"Do you have any final words?" The White Wizard bowed, sounding right in the boy's ear in a half-whisper.
Thomas pursed his bloodied lips, his eyes stared intently at the great wizard, he spat and hit the man's face.
"I'll kill you," Thomas said with a chuckle, then coughed again.
The White Wizard smiled, but a second later, her face darkened. The sword around Thomas' neck moved, wanting to cut off his head.
"I will kill you!"
A red shadow appeared and attacked the White Wizard, the sound of the water churning, splitting, the great wizard turned his head to the white transparent wall protecting him from Iris' attack.
Iris' eyes lit up as red as blood, her hands were covered in red smoke, looking hot and smoldering. She looked like she wasn't Iris, as a bloodthirsty monster.
"Miguel, we meet again."
