I look down at the broken bodies in front of me.
Only a few secoonds has passed since their death.
I was too slow to prevent Leon from dying, but at least I can resurect him, not too much time has passed, another two minutes or so and I'd have been unable to do anything to save him.
Green light surrounds me, leaving my body and entering Leons body and lifting him off his feet.
He floats in the air as his eyes open and green light shines out.
He drops to the floor in front of me as the light fades.
A few moments pass and he starts gasping for air.
"What the hell happened?"
"You died."
He looks up at me.
"Does that mean I failed, is Alucard still alive?"
"No. It seems you took him with you. Assuming that's him."
I point to a pair of legs surrounded by blood chunks of flesh.
Leon drags himself to his feet and picks up his sword.
He's missing an arm.
"I can fix that for you if you want."
He looks at his missing appendage.
"No. I need to get stronger. If you just fix everything for me I'll never learn. We need to join the fight, lets go."
I look to wear the magic is concerntrated. Thats where the fighting will be taking place no doubt.
"You go. There's something I have to do first."
I need to know if they got out.
I may have only been acting before but things have changed since then.
I'm not alive just to be subservient some god. I still don't want to be king but I can't just abandon my family.
"Now's not the time if we don't act now the entire city could be at risk."
I turn to Leon.
"You can play the hero if you want, but I'm not willing to make that sacrifice."
I take off and fly over to the exit of the passage out of the castle.
I can only feel two presences. I hope I'm no too late.
(POV Change)
Why the hell isn't this one dying.
The other members of the royal family died easily enough but no matter what I do this one can't seem to die.
The girl looked at me with a face full of tears.
"When my brother gets here he's gonna kill you!"
She just keeps shouting that at me between stabs and slashes of my sword.
"You mean Amon, he acts like an hard man but I know he wouldn't kill me after I helped him out before."
She looks at me confused.
"He never told you did he. He's really called James Brown and in his previous life I was one of his best friends. Me and John were his best and only friends."
The girl falls silent at last.
I need to figure out what is causing her to not die before she starts yapping again. Its really quite distracting.
Every time I kill her that bracelet seems to glow. Maybe if I cut that off she'll die.
I raise my sword to cut off her hand when out of nowhere something long and thin flies down from the sky piercing my stomach and pinning me to the ground.
(POV Change)
What the fuck does this bastard think he's doing?
I land in front of him where he's been pinned to the ground.
His breathing is sharp and pained as his skin becomes sweaty and his blood begins to form a puddle around him.
But he won't die just yet. Not until he's been sufficiently punished.
"Why did you do that? We're friends."
His voice escapes between his breaths.
"Since when have we been friends?"
I put a finger to his forehead and the world around us fell away and we were in a fiery pit with rivers of fire and lakes of blood.
The very air itself burned your lungs and the occasional sulfur cloud would rain drops of lava onto us.
I removed my finger from his head and the world became normal once again.
He won't die any time soon. He'll stay like this for all eternity, even if someone were to remove his head or tie bricks around his ankles and toss him into the sea.
I look over to the bodies that are lying around.
Too much time has past. I can't save them.
"Alice. Its only us left so you need to get out of here. Go somewhere safe."
She looks at me with tears in her eyes.
"No way, I'm not leaving you. The safest place in this world is wherever you are. I won't go."
"Just find somewhere safe and hide. I have a bad feeling about this."
I manipulate her mind, forcing her to do my bidding and get to safety.
I tear off Ben's head and set off towards the sound of the battle.
(POV Change)
There they are.
Ben should be here soon, If its the two of us we can handle Arthur and his compatriots.
Is that Leon who just arrived? Damn it, maybe this is an unwinnable fight for me.
But then again everyone else has been defeated, I don't need to kill them all I just need to kill Arthur.
Even if it costs me my life.
I charge towards him only to be blocked by the blonde guy with a vikings leather and fur armour.
"Now who might you be?"
He tosses something up into the air.
What is that? A bomb? A knife?
As I'm distracted he punches me square in the liver.
The worst pain I've ever felt shoots through my entire body.
I collapse as all the air leaves my body.
"Whoah looks like the little lion has arrived."
The mans voice cut through my pain as another pair of feet arrive in front of my view along with an overwhelming power.
Just being in his presence is making me feel as if I'll be crushed.
He throws something in front of me and as it rolls closer I can see what it is.
It's a head.
"Next time keep your dog on its leash."
No way. He broke his promise.
Something dark begins to stuir inside me and I'm filled with overwhelming rage.
Amon Britannia. I'm going too fucking kill you.
