[2/14/20, 3rd POV] "Arg.... impossible .... how ... how.. .I ... lost ... no!"
Magical Bear looked at the fainted heroes and then at Ximen. "Its ... over ... you've lost. Admit it we'll ... let you join us."
"Please you don't have to live your life like this anymore. Join ... us."Abigail said. All three of the remaining Magicals are quite weak now.
"Yes... you can change. I believe it. Together we can take down the League of Poachers." Lightning pleaded.
"Ah! NO ... I have pledged my allegiance to the League of Poachers. Er! No .. I can ... still..."
"Please .. stop you're hurting yourself. Join us and we can heal you." Abigail stated.
Ximen was breathing hard, he almost fell down. "No ... I can ... win!" The glow of his body faded but then it began to glow more than ever. He began to shout and shot an ice shuriken at Abigail. She screamed as she fell.
"Now you've done it." A bronze aura started to surround Magical Bear. His eyes [2/15/20] changed, his fur seemed to become bronze, and it blew as if there was wind from the opposite direction. Magical Bear's right arm had more glow than the rest of his body.
"Hmm... so you're glowing as well. It'll be no match for me. This is a genuine emergency. And Lightning what's up with you?"
Magical Bear and Ximen starred each other down. 'Come on, come on, come on, focus your energy. This is the time and place.' Lightning brought his hands together & started to shout. A gray-ish yellow glow surrounded his body. He could feel the strength flowing through his body.
"I ... too..." He was breathing hard, "can activate another form. You are still weaker and there are two of us. Its over for you. Our offer still stands but if you don't accept it we'll have to destroy you."
"I refuse to join you guys and leave the ... poachers." Ximen said.
"You have made you fatal choice [2/16/20] in that case. We won't hold back."
"You got that right." Magical Bear said.
The glow around each one of them got brighter and more visible. All three of them were serious and starred at their opponent. The storm was insanely strong, basically a blizzard. That however didn't affect any of the glowing rivals.
"Time is running out for you." Ximen said, "The longer you stay out here the higher the chance they." he pointed to the eight that had fainted,"will freeze to death."
"No"
"Its true and my strength is more than yours."
Lightning suddenly felt something on his leg, but it seemed that nothing happened. The bronze glow kept intensifying around Magical Bear's right arm,'So this is the power of The Three Mythical Bears, huh?' he thought.
"You are so done for!" Magical Bear shouted, "You must pay for all you have done."
All three continued to stare down their opponent. They kept breathing only kinda [2/18/20] heavily. The silence was broken when Magical Bear began to shout. 'This is it. This is my all!' he thought. He jumped at Ximen and yelled. "BRONZE BEAR PUNCH!!" A gust of wind appeared sounding really loud. Ximen began to fly off and so did Lightning.
'Nani!' he thought. Then it became clear. When he felt something on his leg Ximen must of attacked a string or rope. How? He must of known the bronze glow being more intense on Mark's arm meant a punch! The storm faded and Magical Bear said, "I did it." before fainting. Now Ximen and Lightning were flying. They soon landed. They both got up and their glows were the most intense they ever were.
"You're ... a smart one, I'll give you that." Lightning said.
"Its the end of the road for you! Only thou remains. I ...arg." He fell and got up and the thing on Lightning's leg disappeared. "I ... can ... this..." The glow intensified at bit more and so did Lighting's.
They stared at each other again & struggled to not fall over. Both of them knew that only one of them would be victorious.
[2/21/20]"No, this is the end of the road for you... Ximen."
"Are you ... sure ... on that. You seem to have doubts."
"No ...I ... will ... win this... for Dan ... Raylee ... Mitzi ... Mark ... Warty ... Gerald... Denny .... Tiger, Shane ...Yui ... Yejide ... Lutia ... Abigail... and of course for .... my crush Diana..."
"Ha... I am doing this ... for ...myself ... for Xander Aimée.. and my crush ... Ciana ..."
the two glowing humans continued to stand still gaining power, slightly but ever so. Both of them knew that their lives were at risk but they both believed they were doing the right thing.
A minute passed ... two, three, four, now five. When the sixth minute went by the two of them stopped become more glowy.
"NOW!" Both Ximen and Lightning shouted at the same time. They jumped at each other and punched with their right arm. They floated in the air staring at each other in anger.
[2/22/20]
"ELECTRIC POWER PUNCH!!"
"ICE FIST STRIKE!!"
Their attacks clashed and they kept staring at each other. Both humans starred with intense anger at the other. The power of their punches caused an explosion. Soon the two of them were blown away but couldn't see anything.
When the smoke from the explosion finally cleared after some minutes, Lightning and Ximen were on opposite sides of a crater. Ximen was lying unconscious, and Lightning was barely conscious.
"We did it." Lightning said. When Magical Bear launched Ximen and him, he activated his watch to have Diana and Dan know where they were for the worst possible scenario. Lightning closed his eyes as he lost consciousness.
Ximen disappeared when his fake body vanished. He had really fought but he created a fake so Lightning or anyone else know how strong Lightning's attack was. Quickly after Ciana came by and took him away[2/23/20] to get immediate medical attention from the League of Poachers.
As Lightning and the other nine members of The Magicals lied there for about two minutes. Diana and Dan arrived with instant and non-instant healing items.
"There! Lightning is on that side of the crater!" Dan exclaimed. When they got to him they gave him the most powerful healing item they had. His arm was completely burned.
Lightning soon regained consciousness. He opened his eyes and said ,"Yes" weakly ,"We have won."
"Yes we have. Thank the deities you had that second form." Diana said.
"Thank the deities that the first face I saw just now was your beautiful face, Diana."
Both Dan and Diana were silent until, "Where are the other?"
"They're behind me. They also need to be helped. They fought well. Especially Mark with the power of the Three Mythical Bears he has."
