Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Lightning Strikes Twice

A man stands on the edge of a building. He stares down at a camp filled with warriors made of shadows. The shadows are patrolling the grounds as some of them import crates of an unknown material. "Raiko?" The man speaks into a radio. "Do you copy?" The man continues.

A man on the other responds "I'm almost there Blu." Blu starts to question what he means until lightning strikes the base. Blu screams as the lightning strike blows the entire camp up. "Raiko?" Blu calls as he jumps down from the edge of the cliff. Blu stops at the destroyed camp, now searing with lightning. Raiko walks out of the smoke, lightning flickering as he tells blu "I could've done more damage with whirlwind."

Merci calls Raiko "Raiko? What the hell are you and Blu doing?" Raiko and Blu laugh at each other as they are scolded for their recklessness.

Raiko stares at a picture of him, blu and merci posing for a picture at a beach. "Well, blu, this one's for you buddy." Raiko says as he kneels at a cliff staring down at Jacob. Jacob places his hands on the group creating shadow enders. The Shadow enders attack as Jacob snaps his fingers.

Jocob laughs, "This will be over quickly." Raiko snaps his fingers, flicking lightning at the pawns Jacob created. Jacob, annoyed, creates more clones "Let's see you deal with this." Raiko's face is emotionless as he notices more clones appearing around him. He looks to either side saying calmly "I'll blow you all away." Raiko crosses his arms and gathers energy turning himself into a lightning bomb.

The Shadow Enders launch their attack on him. Raiko creates a lightning bubble that erases the Shadows instantly. As the dust clears, Jacob appears from behind Raiko with a Scythe, preparing to deal a lethal strike to Raiko. "Die" Jacob commands. Raiko dodges the attack and kicks Jacob screams as he's sent back to the edge of the cliff.

Rain starts pouring down as lightning bounces off of Raiko. " Jacob charges in and swings again. Raiko defends and counters all of the attacks thrown at him. Clashes destroy the area where they're fighting. Jacob and Raiko charge in towards each other. Raiko creates an afterimage that leaves Jacob dazed.

Raiko teleports behind Jocab "You idiot." Raiko says as he kicks Jacob through the remainder of the cliff. Jacob lays in the rubble, barely able to stand. Raiko floats down towards his defeated foe and extends his palm towards him asking "Do you have any words angel scum?" Jacob smirks but then mutters something under his breath. "What was that? I couldn't hear that over the sound of me beating you." Raiko states as he leans closer.

Jacob screams "Now, Aries!" Raiko, shocked , looks up to see Thousands of black arrows are aimed down at him. Aries floats in the air, their hand raised. With a threatening voice Aries says "Death Arrows" as they hurl the arrows down in Raiko's direction. Raiko tries to move but Jacob wraps his body around Raiko, holding him in place. Raiko scoffs as he braces himself for the attack.
