The Amalgamation roared one final time as it raised its staff. Cynthia blasted herself up with the Illumina before striking down at the Amalgamation which seemed to be regenerating its power back with the Ghostwalker. Using its staff, it attempted to bat Cynthia away, but Thomas grabbed his pistol and shot into the staff, confusing the beast.
The Illumina struck into the right shoulder of the Amalgamation, severing the grip of the Ghostwalker, throwing it back in pain.
“GRAB IT!” Thomas shouted. “BEFORE IT PICKS IT BACK UP!”
The Amalgamation threw a chain straight towards Thomas, whipping him across the Arena. Noticing Cynthia running towards the Ghostwalker, it retracted the chain and slammed it against Cynthia’s back.
“Agh! Bastard!”
It approached Cynthia, as if it was going to show her… those things again.
Those visions.
She quickly scrambled away, towards the dropped Ghostwalker and pushed herself up. Grabbing the Illumina, she attempted to slash multiple times before lunging into the beast. It roared in pain as she pulled out the weapon, and began to pace towards the Ghostwalker one final time. The Amalgamation followed.
Cynthia backflipped and kicked the Amalgamation’s face, stunning it and allowing her to regain the Ghostwalker.
Rather than punching into Cynthia, its hand grew larger before slamming extremely hard into the ground below them. Everything went to silence. Everyone… everything… stood perfectly still. Not even the sound of Thomas’ annoying voice, the sounds of bridges creaking, the sounds of the crackling fire. Utter silence. Zhen looked shocked as she knew what was about to happen.
“Guardian?” Zhen questioned.
“What?!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4XdgueeDT
Crack!92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMPy2ZpXyW
“Run!”
Suddenly, the whole platform began to crack as the bridges began to collapse.
“Why did it just-” Cynthia shouted, voice shaking before she tripped over a crack in the floor.
“Shit.” Thomas grabbed onto a pillar. “Brace yourself.”
“What?” Cynthia jumped up.
The platform began to cave in as the Amalgamation jumped into what seemed to be a bottomless pit.
“It jumped into the Lab.” Zhen charged herself towards the pit.
Kai’s eyes widened. “Wait, is that what Cap’n was-”
Suddenly, the ground below Kai completely collapsed as he was taken down.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH-”
Thump!
“Ugh… ow… I’ve had enough falls for one day.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CZ0XBgEeY
Landing on a large, slightly soft mat, Kai glanced upwards. He felt like he fell over 50 metres beneath the floor of the Arena. A red light flickered on his face as he noticed The Clock just ahead of him.
Cynthia and Thomas fell at the same time, Cynthia floating herself down with the Illumina while Thomas quickly belly-flopped on the mat.
“Wait! Where’s the Amalgamation?” Zhen immediately stood back up.
To the left of them, a small hole was torn through the metal walls. It didn’t fit the Amalgamation’s immense size… not even a human size. Kai was the only one who didn’t look, still staring at the Clock. Zhen was struck with realisation.
“It’s already evolving..? How long has it been awakened?”
“How did it even-” Cynthia looked astounded.
“Oh, bless your heart, you know nothin’ about the Amalgamation do ya? How did you ever replace Zeph-”
“Why did you leave us?” Cynthia raised the Ghostwalker to Thomas’ chest.
Thomas jumped. “What?”
“The Team. Our team. You say that you ‘fled to the countryside’, but I KNOW there’s something more to it. So come on and tell me.”
Zhen stood between the two. “Why are you even worrying about that? I'm sure he has a good reason, and besides, it’s not like he still isn't affiliated with your team, eh?”
“But-”
“Just shut up! Oh my god. No wonder Thomas left your team.”
Cynthia looked directly at Zhen’s eye, locking eye contact.
“Are you stupid?” Her voice shook. She raised the Ghostwalker up to Zhen. “You don’t even know what him leaving cost us!”
“You don't scare me with that sword. Listen. That… thing. It can shapeshift once it lives enough time to learn how to do it. That’s why its hand grew so gigantic when it dragged our ship down. That’s why it burst a hole so small, so it escaped from us and now it might kill whatever is left in this lab. All the scientists. All the Experiments. Bella. Everyone.”
Cynthia shook. “Isabella-”
“Why us, anyway?” Thomas thought for a while.
Kai finally turned to them.
“You know why. They…” Kai gulped. “The Terrors were right. All along, it existed. And we fought back! All this time? This was the Clock he was talking about… and everything just makes sense now.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPYvVu4qFy
The pack filled with Ice Potions dropped from the Arena, caught in Kai’s blood-filled hands. He opened it slowly, arms shaking, and grabbed one of the potions.
“We never believed Noah or… him. It's just gone to shit! I knew I heard… Him. What was the point of it all? Our mission. It’s like Noah knew… he knew we would be dragged here to see. To see this.”
He looked back at the Clock, potion in hand.
An awkward silence filled the air. It looked like Zhen knew what was going on. Thomas and Cynthia just looked bewildered.
“What the fuck are you talking about?” Thomas grabbed his pistol and spun it around with his finger.
“Who’s that guy?” Cynthia pointed towards Kai.
A roar was heard from the hole. Footsteps heavy, almost shaking the ground. But they seemed to be getting further, searching for more people’s souls.
“We need to go find it!” Zhen ran up to a door. “Grab the ’brand. It’ll melt soon enough.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeigmIIuWf
CREEAAKKKK!!!92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozZSgpypAN
The noise of the collapsing Arena echoed across the entire labyrinth of the lab. Through all of the walls and glass…
…
All the way to Hope, Axel, Skye and Theo, at the far entrance of the Lab, relaxing on the staircase.
Hope had already shown them important files that they found. Who Shadow Rider really is, DEATH, Hin Taishi and his experiments.
Bella.
“Cynthia’s D.F.E must not be on or something, like I can’t even tell her that I’ve found you guys.” Skye frantically presses her D.F.E.
“Do you guys want to see what that noise was or are we just ignoring that completely?” Axel groaned in slight pain. He seemed to be getting better.
“Any reason why you don’t?”
“Does it look like he can?” Theo stood up, brought his hands up to the back of his head and turned around. “You wanna come, Hope?”
Hope raised an eyebrow. “Since when were you a leader?” She said, smirking jokingly. “Whatever.”
A loud crashing sound echoed from the halls.
Skye’s D.F.E completely lost connection.
“You need to go investigate that. Now!”
Hope and Theo, camera in hand, ran down the staircase.
Axel and Skye looked at each other.
She awkwardly looked to her left and right before asking “You wanna tell me what all this is about?”
“This place?”
“No, I mean… What's going on? Why was Cynthia so worried, wh-”
Skye glanced at Axel’s wounds.
“What happened to you?”
Axel rolled his eyes. “Don’t you want to go see what’s going on?”
“And leave you? Like this? Seriously?”
“Heh. Been through worse. Anyway, you know who I am, right? I’m friends with your brother. Or at least was…”
“Yeah, it’s Skye. I already know who you are though.”
“New member?”
“Yep. Replaced Krystal.”
“What made you want to do something so… risky?”
“Mainly Josh. I don’t really have to do stuff like fighting or whatever, but y’know…”
Skye looked away.
“I love him. And I want to be close to him no matter what, rather than just watching from the sidelines.”
“He’s still got that fighting spirit after 11 years, huh?”
“He’s only 32, he ain’t an old man, eh?”
They both laughed.
“But also because of Zeph, y’know?”
“He hates Cynthia, no? He’s still mad about… what she did. What she took. Why would you choose to work for someone you know your brother hates?”
“Well I’ve got a lot of skill when it comes to stuff like engineering, tech, blueprinting and all the rest of it. It would be a shame to not put all of that skill to something actually important.
“Like saving the world?”
“Yeah. Heh. It's crazy, really. All these years and yet this world keeps playing cat and mouse with magic swords.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB86UEiEeG0
“A bunch of crazy lunatics stealing them because they think some God will let them ascend once they commit borderline genocide.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWM5hhJJxw
Both of them chuckled. Axel looked down slightly.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD1dpDWcoE
“You good?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyGVMoOGGv
“Is… Cyn gonna be okay? You mentioned she went back to the Arena.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUri9jOeR7
“Well me, Josh and Hope are all meant to help her but Josh is still injured, and the two of us are stuck here.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBZEWe7d4W
“Hopefully she’ll be fine by herself.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWqJ8Ky5YA
“Yeah.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDzXN5XZ2Y
Axel stood up.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90oBpUh5FS
“Can we catch up to them?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlQ3EZsiYm
“Wh- I mean, aren’t you really injured right now? You should rest.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoc4GzOeMj
“Like I said…”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtLmLhvfD6
Axel began to limp down the staircase.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44XvhTCgWn
“I’ve been through worse.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPpqsUvQJZ
“If ya’ say so.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU17Zw1XN4l
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W2w8HT9AX
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN9cidYpnJ
A giant thud echoed across the Lab, before a roar emitted in the distance.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKMN01hzvT
“Y’all hear that?” Thomas looked at the group. They’ve traversed a few rooms across the Lab, but each room passed looked the exact same as the last. They found nothing but metal crates scattered across the hallways.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44TpUcUkBE
“What actually is this place, anyway?” Cynthia continued to stay alert of the Amalgamation.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooVawATCop
Zhen grabbed her keycard and opened the next door in front of them. “It’s where the Terrors… operate. That's probably the best way to describe it.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN9u3I9LVZ
“They moved their lab… under the Arena?” Cynthia seemed confused.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHbwjSGLok
“Yeah.” Zhen didn’t really want to make conversation, she just wanted to fix this mess.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCscmQFro7u
“So why do you have access to open the doors?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3q0LSsaks
Zhen froze in curiosity, sideyeing Cynthia. “Are you stupid? We’re obviously part of NET.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JBCFCLiKu
“Huh?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJmLjZAl7O
“What do you mean, huh? Are you sure you’re actually the Guardian? I’m talking about the Nightfall Exploration Team.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zmRtHYmDe
Cynthia stopped walking, looking at Zhen who stopped following behind. “Wh- You do realise that's illegal, right? That project was discarded almost 20 years ago and was deemed a criminal offense if anyone was caught being associated with the idea.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6fduc9fkv
“Well it wasn’t that hard to be unseen from the public eye when we operated in the middle of a desert. Not to mention anyone who even approached the base without the access and authority would just be shot down.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJgW23KsOA
“That doesn’t explain how you know this place like it's on the back of your hand.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMOHNIbbP7
Thomas backed Zhen. “As part of our process to launch the ship, we needed protection in case anythin’ went wrong. We needed resources like the samples they took from this… Icedagger thing.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm99nZASsqp
“Not to mention it probably has something to do with Hope’s main dagger.” Kai added. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ86D3YnStv
“Ok wait. I’m really confused right now, just go over why you have access to the Lab.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY3SGmtrva
Thomas sighed.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGogPgcf6qH
“I went to one of the churches in sweet ol’ Texas. Not our Church, but one of the Sunrise Churches.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliFmZEXrCW
“You went to a Terror Church? Why? How?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa29y2uSTA
“I wanted answers. Whether all of this was real. Besides, It’s not that hard to hide Churches. Put them inside barbershops, parks, underground, you name it.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSGzB9X4NE
“So-”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Myr0gvVE
“IF you let me finish… I attended a congregation. So many of those… people in one room. Eyes soulless, hoods up while the priest spoke. But after this meeting and everyone began to leave, I was held back by the Priest. For being so loyal and attending the Church daily, they offered me a place at Sunrise Corp, a complex system made up of multiple labs connecting across the entire city. While secretly also working at NET, I accepted. If we wanted our exploration to be successful and really find out why our world is the way it is, we needed help. I was given a keycard to be able to open and close the entrance at will, as when anyone enters that Lab, they can’t exit without authority.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyogHn7C69c
“How long ago was this?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS4yKo0w0v
“Just a year after I left Nightfall Base.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxor3Q97D2j
“But didn’t you flee to the countryside because everything got too… stressful or something?92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzfFYIfAZG
“I did! But is that really important right now when we have to deal with-”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMHN303tJl
Clink.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJbwRNqAKz
SMASH!92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxJYzKKgh8
The next door opened. Inside the room contained multiple containers, The Amalgamation was there… absorbing souls from what seemed to be previous experiments. It didn’t notice the group behind them.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPcPg0jMYY
Cynthia was about to speak, but Zhen forced her index finger to her mouth. Zhen walked stealthily towards it as she wielded an Ice Potion, ready to throw it at the beast. Looking at Cynthia, she used her left hand to point at the Ghostwalker she was wielding. She then beckoned her with her hand.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBIfZZzKfW
They both slowly approached it as it gained much more power. Hands began to sprout from its back as it grew larger in size. A hole appeared on its back where the next arm would grow.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4kDmqqakf
Zhen screamed “NOW!”, before throwing an Ice Potion straight into the hole, freezing the inside of it.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ySAAQKEON
Cynthia began to charge at it with the Ghostwalker, but the Amalgamation’s eyes completely fixed onto her. Before she could get to the distance she needed to end the Amalgamation, they started to appear again.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbYWuGErKR
Buck appeared to her again. Flashing in her eyes.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspoczpLfzN
“No, wait-”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6cMK63qcG
She tripped, her sight immediately faded into black.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i0f2f0BO3
“What are you doing? We don’t have much more time before it completely unfreezes!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw33yvWoLpg
Thomas ran towards Cynthia and grabbed it out of her hands. “Forget this! I’ll do it myself!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgYxmIgwUV
The Ghostwalker became lighter, Thomas never killed anyone with this.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XeVDGttdL
“No wonder Zephyr said you weren't worthy.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiaN3zocIR
He thrust it into the Amalgamation as it began to absorb its power. It seemed the longer he held it, the faster it absorbed it.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcSedKMqad
It screamed in fear and pain as its hands began to fall apart.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgJxUEmxtA
Cynthia was still on the floor as the visions and voices began to flood back in. Buck. Josh. Zephyr. Skye. Buck. Josh. Zephyr. Skye. Begging. Pleading. Screaming. Crying.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJybQiLzg8
…92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7TIEEjePN
GRAWWWWWRRR!!!!92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXjG0fGSTa
…92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp67iz6iJHm
Darkness.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylmwDy8oze
Hope appeared above her, wielding her dagger.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ECwou8FEW
It was different from how it normally looked. It looked more white, it shined in the darkness. It felt cold.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCg9bAckzM
Cynthia felt the vision.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C8v7Akmmg
“I’m sorry…”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ329hzj9Poy
Her face was filled with blood.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMPSUNb0Mb
She grabbed the dagger in her two hands and stabbed into her heart. Cynthia screamed in pain as she began to freeze up. No noise came out.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuZqsUrgzh
“I can’t let you kill everyone else.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP56Rt5QLQ
She tried to shout. Pleading only to have no voice.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGaKAbv37G
The ice froze her eyes as Hope faded away.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyUNrDxDQW
It felt real.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebZmMO3OW8
…92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoXkvZYrXR
GRAWWWWRRRR!!!!92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SPAlChPzz
She snapped out of it. It seemed like one final vision before it would be confined back to the Ghostwalker but it wasn’t Cynthia killing anymore, but she instead being killed.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcnLsc5Rkk
Her breathing was heavy, sight distorted, disoriented as she tried to look for the Ghostwalker. It was hard to see, but Thomas seemed to be confining the Amalgamation with it.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOefyLWUjm
A hand burst out of another part of its body, whacking Thomas away. Its body began to break free from the ice magic.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxpp4X6nrN
Zhen grabbed another Ice Potion. “Shit! Run!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgwGltdnR9
More hands began to sprout from other parts of the body. Some resorted into a fist shape, crashing down on the crew.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe2xaBRAZ1
Kai was held down on the metallic floor, slowly being crushed.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz5xwvxelI
“AGGHHHH! HELP!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1YUb1J7qK
Screams of agony were let out as his death was rapidly approaching. Cynthia, still with distorted vision, ran up to the Amalgamation, grabbing the Ghostwalker from Thomas before thrusting it back into the beast.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nr8o2g1so
“Just DIE already!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhT1F3lb9G
She struggled to twist the Ghostwalker. The hands of the beast weakened and Kai began to break free from the grip.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS6TLFYSBw
It attempted to shapeshift but the Ghostwalker seemed to be keeping it in place.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIemD7AN6X
“I don't think this is gonna work!” Kai strained. “We need to create an opening!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbh21JVEy7
Cynthia slightly smiled. “We already did, and now look! We might actually-”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkBpn2xRck
“I mean literally. Every time it shapeshifts itself new arms, the holes expose the interior. We’re only harming the outside, but if we manage to fully get the Ghostwalker inside of it, maybe then we can confine it.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUCrWyb4GB
“Huh?” Cynthia looked up to the Amalgamation as it reached a hand and blasted Cynthia away. She kept hold of the Ghostwalker, but now all they could do was wait for the Amalgamation to create new holes inside of itself.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk6G3ywTto
“It will just keep fighting back, it’s no use!” Zhen prepared to throw the Ice Potion in her hand.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2GyicpfJm
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhcNOzYVMZ
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqpseBrbLx
Quick footsteps were heard from the hallway.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFHe8zpJYd
Suddenly, before the crew, a woman had stood behind them. It was hard to make out who it was, her hair covering her face as she looked down, as black, knightly armour began to form on her torso. She looked scruffy, parts of her left arm were slightly slashed, her right arm being completely made of black goop from the Darkheart.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvNua7uEHS
“Stand back.” Her voice sounded different. Not the way she used to sound.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRusnAksYd
“Bella?” Cynthia and Zhen say in unison. She didn’t even look at them.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkLQIfOY2B
“Just let me handle this.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61qg1uJRhD
She held a staff. Just like the Amalgamation’s.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv61iDpUHjD
She leaped upwards and charged down into the Amalgamation, bashing the staff across its face. Her staff began to rise as zombie-like beings began to form from nothing. The group of these creatures began to groan. Flicking her side bang away, Bella pointed her staff towards the Amalgamation as if she was ordering them to attack.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGp7XGQquH
The creatures began to expand the holes where the Amalgamation was creating more arms, finally creating a better opening.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jY2st3Jg1
“Is that a good enough opportunity?” She glared at Cynthia. Her eyes were a shade of dark green. “Strike it!”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2MCC49aiW
She nodded, tightening her grip on the Ghostwalker before charging straight into the expanded hole. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92QWZez81L
It screamed in pain, but it still tried to fight back as chains attempted to reach Cynthia.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy1EPbN0bk
Suddenly, grey silhouettes emerged from its staff like chicks hatching from an egg. They started being launched to the floor as the silhouettes ragdolled on the ground.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MaDpWgxhM
Bella’s blackened hand scratched her head. “Huh? The one I had to handle didn't-”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZw9F9iiR9
A Speedster rammed into her. The other silhouettes began to shift into their real lifeforms.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp70PJD404
Conjurers, Swordsmen, Attackers, Defenders…92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMquJJaYpn
Dominance.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekFzClSprc
Bella’s blackened hand shapeshifted into a claw, and aggressively slashed at the horde of Terrors while spinning her staff in the other. They all began to fling from side to side of the room, but none fell.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sdSARAn0f
“Why aren’t they going back?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc0kgXmwX9
“What do you mean?” Thomas began shooting his pistol at Dominance… but Dominance just stared at Cynthia.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG6MHUEGv9
“Dominic? How are you HERE? How is this even-”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVLKi6pAeD
He conjured a Metal Fist and slammed it straight into Cynthia. She ungraciously fell to her back.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHSZxAp4eF
“I think we need to take the Amalgamation down! They’re all linked to… to…92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn6a7g4BIY
Oh my god.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArtl2Cfx5f
Bella looked up. There was a balcony, with a dark, mysterious figure standing. Watching. The Darkheart was unsheathed.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqABfwrWOE0
“What?”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHEZuUzhmS
They immediately slammed down from the balcony into the Amalgamation, stabbing it with the Darkheart. It began to form a giant, black sphere around the beast… trapping it.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgV6lkwO2q
An arm similar to Bella’s reached out to the Ghostwalker and instantly grabbed it from Cynthia’s hand with no struggle.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlT7gQDife
At the split second that the beast broke out, the figure stabbed straight into the Amalgamation, holding it in place with dark vines.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCzV3N0vyI
The other resurrected Terrors began to disintegrate. That, along with Death.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAOf6sTRH7
Swift footsteps were heard, along with heavy breathing. Hope and Theo arrived at the scene.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicvDMCjvS6
Bella dropped her staff, looking in awe.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZ1eqPS6G
That helmet. That darkheart-powered armour.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOtPotuXQv
Shadow Rider.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewcp6HpnZY
Theo took a photo, breathing still shaking. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tSuKG7PmV
Nobody even bothered to stop him.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDUlD3t2KK
They all just stared at the Leader.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysitlVPh9A
Cynthia, Bella, Kai, Zhen, Thomas, Theo…92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDbBNGorkH
And Hope. Hope broke the silence.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJbqCQW8xU
“Cairo..?” 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJuT8skvCB
He took a step forward. No hesitation.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVln7JMnNu
“The dagger. Hand it over.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelXtrIByz5
His eyes were finally visible. Looking into Hope’s soul. He spoke once more.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnAaAziD7d
“I have to end this.”
