Chereads / The Virtues of this Tropical Isle / Chapter 33 - Earth Wind and Thunder 2

Chapter 33 - Earth Wind and Thunder 2

June and Chonsee prepare their counterattack against the Marionette master Dxn.

Chonsee places his hands on the ground cooking up an attack.

June charges in and rushes Dxn.

"A full-on assault huh? Done analyzing and playing defense?" Dxn questions the two mages.

June within a split second appears in front of the dark mage face-to-face.

"YOU-" Dxn surprised.

Dxn tries to get the marionetes to counter the attack.

"SLOW," June says kicking and blasting Dxn away with her winds.

"TEMPEST WINDS"

June claps her hands forward and commands the winds to launch a full-scale wind attack on the downed Dxn.

"She's not stopping huh? Well, how about this?" Dxn says blocking the winds. Dxn sets up his Defense Marionette which carries a shield. Blocking Tempest winds from doing any further damage.

"GOLEMS" Chonsee commands.

GOLEMS begin to form from the ground as Chonsee commands. Golem stands over 10 ft tall made out of the materials of the Earth. Some range in color as green, brown, white, and a mixture of all.

"Wha" Dxn surprised.

"What's the matter?" Chonsee says.

"You" Dxn sends the attack marionette to attack Chonsee but the Golems hold back the marionette.

At the same time, June again gets up in Dxn's face. June generates a pocket of wind next to Dxn's head.

"What is-" Dxn wonders.

June proceeds to kick Dxn in the face with an assist from the pocked of wind that blows him away. The damage is doing a number on Dxn as he receives multiple cuts and tears within his closing but no fatal wounds yet.

"This is not good," Dxn says while slowly standing on his feet. "I can heal my wounds but how long can I keep this up? Also, what happened to that Chimera did it defeat the thunder mage?".

Before Dxn could think a Golem appears and slams the mage into the ground. It then picks him up and slams the Dxn into 2 street wagons. The Golem goes in for another attack about to land he uses the Mage Marionette to use a water attack on the golem. Shooting its core.

Dxn slowly collects himself off the ground brushing off all the rubble on him.

June and Chonsee come closer to Dxn.

"How's that" June asks.

"We found out your weakness" Chonsee exclaims.

Dxn brings the three marionettes together.

"So have I" Dxn responds.

The two Virtues looked stunned.

"Justice your attacks sure are essential for this fight but how long do you plan to keep fighting when your attacks don't protect yourself? It seems whenever you overexert your ability it comes back to bite you. Look at your hands your leg that you kicked with me with. Although very minor scratches and cuts your ability does have a drawback."

June looks concerned.

GOLEMS

Chonsee sends an army of Golems charging towards Dxn.

"So you wanna play that game?" Dxn asks the Mage.

MARIONETTE PARTY

Marionette appears left and right surrounding Dxn. He brings out a marionette to match Chonsee's Golems.

CLIK CLICK CLICK CLICK

The eerie sound the marionettes make is being brought up by Dxn. Every little movement and sound. The way they looked and their appearance looked humanoid.

The two Virtues looked horrified.

"Let's see who'll run out of gas longer shall we," Dxn says.

"All I know is my golems should crush your stupid puppets."

"They are not STUPID. THEY ARE WORKS OF ART. " Dxn gets angry as the Marionette and Golem battle gets underway.

Left and right Golems destroy Marionettes and Marionettes team up to take down Golems. In the midst of all this, a madman engulfed with joy laughs as he watches his creations be put to work. "Hahaha, it seems like the golems seem to be thinning out is there any more left in the tank mage!" ARE THEY STUPID NOW" Dxn claims with his arms spread apart. He snipes most of the golems with the Mage Marionette which lowers the golems numbers faster.

On the blindside of Chonsee, the Attack Marionette surprises him. The marionette almost lands a fatal blow but doesn't as Chonsee puts up a shield.

"ALMOST," Dxn says.

"Oh, just you wait" Chonsee reassures the Marionette master.

June comes again for the third time hoping to land a fatal blow as she holds a pocket of air within her hand.

Dxn blocks the attack again however something is a miss. The mage suddenly starts to lose his footing. Swaying back and forth trying to stay balanced.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE

"What is this an attack?" Dxn questions himself.

Suddenly the ground begins to rise.

Chonsee raises the earth above him to elevate June and Dxn above the ground three stories high.

A stage is set to have the three mages fight on this stage.

"Ah yes this is what you call a final act," Dxn says to the two mages.

"Indeed it is," June says.

"This is where we defeat you," Chonsee says.

Dxn raises his arms with the controller in his hand. "Try," Dxn says.

He brings the fight to the two mages. Dxn summons an army of Marionettes hurling towards them.

PLANETARY WINDS

June summons powerful winds to blow all the Marionettes away.

The Attack Puppet appears beside June from his blind spot.

"JUNE" Chonsee yells.

"Shit I won't make it in time"

June sends a gust of air blowing the puppet away just enough for her to escape.

CLICK

"Huh," Chonsee surprised.

The mage puppet appears beside Chonsee as it shoots powerful blasts.

Chonsee again moves away as he begins to bleed from his head.

"Chonsee!" June yells. "Dammit, he tricked us he made us think that he couldn't move too at the same time." June thinks to herself.

"AHAHA I really did fool you. Did you guys really think am called the Marionette Master for no reason? Fools"

"We're in trouble," June says.

Chonsee and June are in a tight spot as the Marionettes corner the two to the edge of the platform.

"One blast or attack from any of these is a good night to you guys," Dxn says.

Meanwhile back in the alleyways of Bellanoir.

"Oh crap"

Marx's face begins to be lit up with an orange hue coming from the mouth of the beast.

" Ugh screw it I'll use this"

Marx begins to build up his thunder.

DISCHARGE

BOOM

Marx releases a shockwave of thunder and lightning to the Chimera.

"Ha," Marx wakes up.

"Shoot did I almost die? That's why it's a risky move"

Marx looks over at the Chimera burnt to a crisp. Fading away and turning to ash.

"Hahaha," Marx laughs to himself. "With all the running I did am pretty sure I delivered a lot of volts."

Marx looks towards the center of Bellanoir. "A stage oh shi the plan the plan" Marx thinks to himself.

Marx thinks back to the Alexandria Mansion at Seafoam.

"Marx have you ever tried to enhance your power with weapons or create weapons yourself" Alice asks.

"Actually that's not a bad idea," Marx thinks to himself.

Rods are a good receptor for electricity and lighting in general If you are able to create and manifest a rod during battle I think it will prove useful" Alice says.

Back in the present time.

Alright, let's pull this off.

On top of the platform.

"You two are in a bad state your at the end of the line what will you do?"

SHINE

June and Chonsee look at the points and see Marx running towards them.

A large amount of electricity began to be built in three locations in Bellanoir.

June blitz right in front of Dxn and smiles.

WIND VORTEX

A color of wind traps Dxn inside.

GAIA

Chonsee uses it on Dxn using the earth to trap the mage in place.

"What is this?" Dxn wonders.

Chonsee and June jump off the platform as June uses her wind to catch their fall.

More and more electricity begins to build.

"GEOSTORM"

The three virtues yell as bolts of lighting and electricity engulf the storm trapping the Marionette mage inside. The platform falls as the attack ends.

June and Chonsee lay on the ground exhausted with cuts and bruises on their bodies.

Marx arrives collapsing from uses discharge and releasing a large amount of energy with the rods.

"We did it," June says raising one fist in the air. Marx and Chonsee follow as the three lie in a circle staring at the sky.

"You guys are you alright!" Alice, Dillia, Captain Paige, and Cecilia come to the aid of the Three Virtues.

"Good job guys," Paige says.

"We'll patch you guys up," Cecilia says.

"Am glad everyone ok" Dillia says.

"Ha, you guys probably were having a blast right up there?" Marx asks.

"It was challenging and tough," Paige says.

"Knight Jericho took the Princess and Tetsuo back to the Palace"

"Tetsuo?" The three ask.

"Oh yeah that's Mr.Kaneda's lieutenant"

"So he wasn't lying," Marx says.

"Mr. Kaneda is still up there by himself," Alice says.

"Hope he's alright," Chonsee asks.

"Where's Everett and Mae?"

The three remained shocked on the ground.

The leader of The Order of the Seven went after Mae.

"WHAT" The four respond.

"Alice Dillia locate and assist them as soon as possible," Paige says.

"Cecilia heals these three up I'll stay and aid you."

The rubble from the platform.

"Those damn mages. If it weren't for my marionettes I would've been doomed. There are more now huh? I should just take this loss for now. They nearly broke my pieces of art. " Dxn says lying on the rubble.

VRMM

VRMM

A shadow portal appears. Two figures pop up from it. Alexia and Xella appear and they still look banged up from their fight as well.

"You lost to huh" Alexia asks.

"Yeah," Dxn says.

"No worries we had some tough opponents too," Xella says.

"Well I guess it's 1-1," Xella says.

"That's not a good thing. Ha. Let's just hope Luxk gets what's needed. Let's get out of here"

Alexia and Xella pick up their fallen comrade and retreat as they await for their leader to come back.

At a back alley in Bellanoir.

"It seems another fight has concluded," Luxk says.

CLASH CLASH CLASH

Luxk fends off more of Everetts's offense.

"You see Everett you must beat me now or-"

Luxk appears behind Mae.

"I steal her."

Everett was quick to react.

"Your reaction time is more exceptional now," Luxk says.

Everett puts Mae behind him.

"This is where I put you down," Everett says.

"We shall see. " Luxk taunting Everett.
