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?!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP04F1AaTC
Crack!93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpzpDB4x8m
“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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCJygDbjTo
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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZOnU2aAma
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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YV4dzQ4Zo
CREEAAKKKK!!!93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfFQYunOcO
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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf51hG8ilUW
“A bunch of crazy lunatics stealing them because they think some God will let them ascend once they commit borderline genocide.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUOf3J2voT
Both of them chuckled. Axel looked down slightly.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhZRzmLBtS
“You good?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5T0eZUuDS
“Is… Cyn gonna be okay? You mentioned she went back to the Arena.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU7bwzzKFC
“Well me, Josh and Hope are all meant to help her but Josh is still injured, and the two of us are stuck here.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz0GQ6hLoQ
“Hopefully she’ll be fine by herself.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt9RWfWOlq
“Yeah.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7ZZCuMhwA
Axel stood up.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡentHk3MyV2
“Can we catch up to them?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax3a92KzCR
“Wh- I mean, aren’t you really injured right now? You should rest.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNW6pciOHv
“Like I said…”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFPv02RtPS
Axel began to limp down the staircase.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfGXHiOBz4
“I’ve been through worse.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllNgwki43Q
“If ya’ say so.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT1qAPt1dH
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNHkE9rz7T
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSagOosxhq
A giant thud echoed across the Lab, before a roar emitted in the distance.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPCcPd5biC
“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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXxsALw40y
“What actually is this place, anyway?” Cynthia continued to stay alert of the Amalgamation.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwIpVEIFWn
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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9rRAGCGI2
“They moved their lab… under the Arena?” Cynthia seemed confused.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeWtYYtUs5
“Yeah.” Zhen didn’t really want to make conversation, she just wanted to fix this mess.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1DXabt3W5
“So why do you have access to open the doors?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97W6uPcM1D
Zhen froze in curiosity, sideyeing Cynthia. “Are you stupid? We’re obviously part of NET.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNpvskeijY
“Huh?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXr1MLdwmG
“What do you mean, huh? Are you sure you’re actually the Guardian? I’m talking about the Nightfall Exploration Team.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78d6voqjIh
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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR39xw5hdXT
“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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBf6c51dgJ
“That doesn’t explain how you know this place like it's on the back of your hand.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGnGp4jqV1
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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jQ9AxxT9i
“Not to mention it probably has something to do with Hope’s main dagger.” Kai added. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3euntTaNsY
“Ok wait. I’m really confused right now, just go over why you have access to the Lab.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEeyGM3Of5
Thomas sighed.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O5vv6JeEk
“I went to one of the churches in sweet ol’ Texas. Not our Church, but one of the Sunrise Churches.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrma50HNgBO
“You went to a Terror Church? Why? How?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWa5AByhCO
“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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YCh8yIcGy
“So-”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fLulXgLaX
“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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI6rhcK0bx
“How long ago was this?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jKsdrn8Ef
“Just a year after I left Nightfall Base.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Vro5z9fT
“But didn’t you flee to the countryside because everything got too… stressful or something?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZRfhp4BYz
“I did! But is that really important right now when we have to deal with-”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqJTWTNoyo
Clink.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmGwXAqSrP
SMASH!93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpWSlihvIf
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aiNwUnc8I
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9tpWxL8g5
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFj3elarcf
Zhen screamed “NOW!”, before throwing an Ice Potion straight into the hole, freezing the inside of it.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZRoD4Rgxs
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclvJ1lz5be
Buck appeared to her again. Flashing in her eyes.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHK2xIM6h0
“No, wait-”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMcRyPFODe
She tripped, her sight immediately faded into black.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qrHp8sUlc
“What are you doing? We don’t have much more time before it completely unfreezes!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHakIVcCHh
Thomas ran towards Cynthia and grabbed it out of her hands. “Forget this! I’ll do it myself!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPeXFs99qT
The Ghostwalker became lighter, Thomas never killed anyone with this.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu3kHaYhOQ
“No wonder Zephyr said you weren't worthy.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVIGTSNQY
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA3vTIQTDW
It screamed in fear and pain as its hands began to fall apart.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWx7Fs6Kj7
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9kWZXlWRC
…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1vpsdhKHF
GRAWWWWWRRR!!!!93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriYGAlLKea
…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC6EbL55Wl
Darkness.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7EJLaotJb
Hope appeared above her, wielding her dagger.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN62gDtXaCQ
It was different from how it normally looked. It looked more white, it shined in the darkness. It felt cold.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyljhgmfqnB
Cynthia felt the vision.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKfNl5iwx
“I’m sorry…”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtYm9zSuuI
Her face was filled with blood.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkgJCv82Vh
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr14DwW5KS
“I can’t let you kill everyone else.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEcyHPpaL3
She tried to shout. Pleading only to have no voice.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQy3Ymoqg2
The ice froze her eyes as Hope faded away.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaTw4pNz48
It felt real.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO9xlbaNNi
…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW93RWDvgm
GRAWWWWRRRR!!!!93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2PtIqMQ61
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu2zeKWlS1
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUoS5F5QMo
A hand burst out of another part of its body, whacking Thomas away. Its body began to break free from the ice magic.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe60SBAoNTu
Zhen grabbed another Ice Potion. “Shit! Run!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwViBmwr7s
More hands began to sprout from other parts of the body. Some resorted into a fist shape, crashing down on the crew.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuA5CJ9G1u
Kai was held down on the metallic floor, slowly being crushed.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK26dB4rgH4
“AGGHHHH! HELP!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb0u7Q8d7C
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTYsL8n22f
“Just DIE already!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwXCWZuUoZ
She struggled to twist the Ghostwalker. The hands of the beast weakened and Kai began to break free from the grip.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQakVGb6jfI
It attempted to shapeshift but the Ghostwalker seemed to be keeping it in place.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM1rMQfFAu
“I don't think this is gonna work!” Kai strained. “We need to create an opening!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGSVWdnjuI
Cynthia slightly smiled. “We already did, and now look! We might actually-”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulRtkDKzqw
“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.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXJDU9XMLZ
“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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKJFsH2MZa
“It will just keep fighting back, it’s no use!” Zhen prepared to throw the Ice Potion in her hand.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkDRu2jPJh
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCa20fNILd
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTtCe5i1g7
Quick footsteps were heard from the hallway.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfKSgFihAO
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnmqcDqqvw
“Stand back.” Her voice sounded different. Not the way she used to sound.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIzufmKVz6
“Bella?” Cynthia and Zhen say in unison. She didn’t even look at them.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hvE2kqRVC
“Just let me handle this.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42R4L4XiaF
She held a staff. Just like the Amalgamation’s.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vh74xEzpr
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡradNx3U1jd
The creatures began to expand the holes where the Amalgamation was creating more arms, finally creating a better opening.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF348o4mcsQ
“Is that a good enough opportunity?” She glared at Cynthia. Her eyes were a shade of dark green. “Strike it!”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0llFRomaB1
She nodded, tightening her grip on the Ghostwalker before charging straight into the expanded hole. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEepB9d580Z
It screamed in pain, but it still tried to fight back as chains attempted to reach Cynthia.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Pt11bOHb
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDmaodsXd0
Bella’s blackened hand scratched her head. “Huh? The one I had to handle didn't-”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2XpQsoZfY
A Speedster rammed into her. The other silhouettes began to shift into their real lifeforms.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTmE0pLKA1
Conjurers, Swordsmen, Attackers, Defenders…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRIlypGBXT
Dominance.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPiWKDw6CZ
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXFkAKXaYO
“Why aren’t they going back?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06kXHtgmAK
“What do you mean?” Thomas began shooting his pistol at Dominance… but Dominance just stared at Cynthia.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKUuM85ebp
“Dominic? How are you HERE? How is this even-”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGsMYSHehG
He conjured a Metal Fist and slammed it straight into Cynthia. She ungraciously fell to her back.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cnAFzGeUD
“I think we need to take the Amalgamation down! They’re all linked to… to…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGDuUhWpxZ
Oh my god.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfbBWmbIRY
Bella looked up. There was a balcony, with a dark, mysterious figure standing. Watching. The Darkheart was unsheathed.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DYscmIfKE
“What?”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfw9Br4OLI
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNGfge4Ogf
An arm similar to Bella’s reached out to the Ghostwalker and instantly grabbed it from Cynthia’s hand with no struggle.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXirnSQAMaI
At the split second that the beast broke out, the figure stabbed straight into the Amalgamation, holding it in place with dark vines.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8p71CUGM
The other resurrected Terrors began to disintegrate. That, along with Death.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1v6dx6SRH
Swift footsteps were heard, along with heavy breathing. Hope and Theo arrived at the scene.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDXmRFzvbL
Bella dropped her staff, looking in awe.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQlFRkYlPW
That helmet. That darkheart-powered armour.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBTblTYCVJ
Shadow Rider.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8OCF3WYPm
Theo took a photo, breathing still shaking. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr75JuduDR8
Nobody even bothered to stop him.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyPnFRYDTn
They all just stared at the Leader.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA6sqq1dZo
Cynthia, Bella, Kai, Zhen, Thomas, Theo…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEikathUNBF
And Hope. Hope broke the silence.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nPOdO9hcL
“Cairo..?” 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq2XsMQ1U1
He took a step forward. No hesitation.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUwNMhU06Q
“The dagger. Hand it over.”93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiSq8eaGTz
His eyes were finally visible. Looking into Hope’s soul. He spoke once more.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUaq7Ca2Lq
“I have to end this.”
