Anthony: “Your voice…”390Please respect copyright.PENANAuxGMiqa0Ij
390Please respect copyright.PENANAWTVWQzsi0k
390Please respect copyright.PENANAVFgdHWAF7y
Anthony: “So, you’re our predecessor. I don’t know how you possessed Nao without Arc but I don’t care. Me and Artemis can take you.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANApZdzCvxW9A
390Please respect copyright.PENANAhUIPCU9Urt
Alphon: “Artemis? Ha! That crazy bitch found herself another replacement for her dead husband. Poor ma-”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA5xUsJTAkkg
*Boom*390Please respect copyright.PENANAC8thDAe2HX
390Please respect copyright.PENANAzbSGdim81u
Artemis: “Shut up…”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAhW6HTzcCu9
390Please respect copyright.PENANADP0FizwwyM
Alphon: *Whistle*
390Please respect copyright.PENANAj3p7CFiaVF
390Please respect copyright.PENANAjJq7D1tq9Z
Alphon: “Good thing you’re a terrible shot.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAEzJSzHoZbj
390Please respect copyright.PENANA5dJREVTLaH
Anthony: “I already can guess her circumstances. There’s no way someone this powerful would willingly marry me.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAxu1kwSiVvK
390Please respect copyright.PENANADrfhNrZOex
Artemis: “Oh honey, you’re so understanding. I love you even more.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAUizEe1FBQI
390Please respect copyright.PENANA2hGRSYx6z0
Anthony: “…Sure.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAjUUzVhZiTI
390Please respect copyright.PENANAI24V6pz8Sw
Artemis: “Don’t pout love. I know what will make us happy, how about some more murder.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA17UrZrF49m
390Please respect copyright.PENANAw8nKJeSMU6
Alphon: “Man, stop switching so much. It’s creepy.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA5yyr9L1HQs
390Please respect copyright.PENANAm7XxhzGKqv
Artemis: “Tch.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAOa99lPxA64
390Please respect copyright.PENANA85wsDV9iuP
Anthony: “I rather not kill you when you’re possessing Nao. But I’ll do what I must.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAXqIXf2dgFo
390Please respect copyright.PENANAFxJNFn3uSL
Alphon: “So you’ll fight me first?”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAHVfXlvGZtl
390Please respect copyright.PENANABeWVhWrxDE
Anthony: “…Why not? Despite her protests, I want to see how strong you were.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAE0ac9jopGq
390Please respect copyright.PENANAqnRb29bOEe
Alphon: “I see. Well, don’t be blown away too quickly.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANABirD3Vszmq
390Please respect copyright.PENANAMeBDfAH3Fk
Alphon teleports, actually teleports, behind Anthony and back fists him through multiple classroom walls. I can hear distant lightning strikes waking Anthony up after that powerful blow.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAcPJMV4XNrS
390Please respect copyright.PENANAw0iLlD2kb9
Alphon: “Man you can’t take a hit. If you keep shocking yourself awake this won’t take long.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAdhbva0irOk
390Please respect copyright.PENANAWKSLkRTwoo
Anthony pushes rumble off himself and coughs up some blood.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAhOAFzHYEVC
390Please respect copyright.PENANAFARmvtvgQs
Anthony: “How can…you use spells without Arc?”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAMLneQ5EltO
390Please respect copyright.PENANAGx4CBqwCbM
Alphon: “Arc is now really a source of magic kid. If you know how to cast yourself then Arc just makes things easier. I’ve learned everything Arc has to teach.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA9HOK7yAqbI
390Please respect copyright.PENANAc9AtyFmwrA
Anthony: “…No Artemis, one more time.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAPmeFnuzdYw
390Please respect copyright.PENANAvpcAQj6zSc
Anthony unleashes a barrage of lightning blasts but they simply bounce off of Alphon’s transparent shield.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAiYOM6Xmfbr
390Please respect copyright.PENANAAwLZmin0DJ
Alphon: “Better let Artemis fight kid, you might not survive the next one.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAJCTvMn9sbx
390Please respect copyright.PENANApRk5bYRlAh
Don’t kill him!
390Please respect copyright.PENANA3FxRUEfZ0e
390Please respect copyright.PENANAN7pEzqfPVH
Alphon: “Don’t worry, I’ll try simple spells. But you gotta let me stretch my legs.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAtvbkRYgwOg
390Please respect copyright.PENANA5UMMpnpU7V
As Alphon says that, multiple globes of fire appear around him. He points at Anthony and the fireballs start chasing him. Anthony dodges most and blows up the few that get too close.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAJMQnkfA4b3
390Please respect copyright.PENANAWbP1fv9sHV
Alphon: “Keep running kid! Make it fun, it hasn’t even been a minute since we started.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAIULtjH1ACX
390Please respect copyright.PENANAwZHNsvY9ic
Anthony: “Tch.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA4sWJxro6kH
390Please respect copyright.PENANAe28MSRKVoN
Anthony stops running and charges up lightning in his palm. Any fireballs that get close get destroyed by the lightning filling the area around him.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAO20jEXOPYd
390Please respect copyright.PENANAVPy3OgvdCT
Alphon: “Sure, why not old fashioned clash.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAFOZCgHWKLm
390Please respect copyright.PENANAKw0vvvv6BB
Alphon points a finger at Anthony and charges blue energy. The energy sends ripples through the water around his feet and burns the air.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAyCXrhREYFD
390Please respect copyright.PENANAmbbvumcHTw
Anthony: “Thunderous Cataclysm!”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA42NDFNUO1N
390Please respect copyright.PENANArn0NytQ70T
A purple storm of lightning and death races towards Alphon. It rips apart and burns everything in its path. But Alphon only smiles at this.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAVb7uwCTS2b
390Please respect copyright.PENANAzXyVvTgUwg
Alphon: “Magic Cannon.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAoaPGyJVECX
390Please respect copyright.PENANAW81IFEMgzu
The energy in his finger first shrinks into nothing before ballooning into a massive wave of magical energy. It collides with Anthony’s attack which shatters all the grass in the building.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAm0VI4HYuLm
390Please respect copyright.PENANAbYeec2Fin8
The sound of it was deafening. For that fragile moment, nothing moved and nothing breathed. It was silent and dead. As reality went mad from the power on display. But it was a moment, an infinitely small moment in time. It must pass.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAiqH4Vn3ci4
390Please respect copyright.PENANAz4jSPa9A1m
And it did, the magic cannon ripped through Anthony’s attack and erased everything in its path. That entire part of the school…gone…just like that.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAripLFTC9zT
390Please respect copyright.PENANAYUgFZ4SH4c
What…have you done?
390Please respect copyright.PENANAUTFmARYDde
390Please respect copyright.PENANARU8dRMI4Vp
Alphon: “Don’t worry, I made sure there was no one left in that. The ones there I used long-range teleport to move them elsewhere.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAHqq2Y07NCD
390Please respect copyright.PENANAqja4hNrD6J
And what about Anthony!?
390Please respect copyright.PENANAkt9NqVk0eH
390Please respect copyright.PENANAfNbkiWSEQA
Alphon: “I’m sure Artemis will save him. That attack was too weak to end them both.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAytvETkUAkY
390Please respect copyright.PENANAhIJG85WoY3
Weak?
390Please respect copyright.PENANAws74ceYDDa
*Drip*390Please respect copyright.PENANAVEvdCJB8zz
390Please respect copyright.PENANA2nfEhVyIOY
Alphon touches his nose and again, it’s bleeding.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAbBuM3IhPt1
390Please respect copyright.PENANAbUB0lClx8w
Alphon: “You gotta be-”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAgaFmiw5MxH
390Please respect copyright.PENANAlD8R9mFpcU
A flash of purple light from the lights above catches Anthony off guard. From it, a being of purple electricity escapes into our reality. That being soon forms into a slightly burned Anthony with a spear made of lightning. 390Please respect copyright.PENANAyn7B4jg6nV
390Please respect copyright.PENANAJjt0T6btG5
390Please respect copyright.PENANAMEbkV21lVa
Artemis: “My turn.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA467Q1grom8
390Please respect copyright.PENANAheUoJfVFVh
Artemis slams hard onto Alphon who blocks it with his magic-reinforced hands.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAsX35FhTENL
Alphon: “Damn Arc, you taught Nao the crystal mana center. This shit is really unstable and unpredictable. The power and growth speed are not worth it.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA8eSyxexieM
390Please respect copyright.PENANAM50eEpdJ7N
The lightning spear starts to burn through the magic reinforcements and shock Alphon.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAKhFl6ecsGu
390Please respect copyright.PENANAcz4MS7Cx3Y
Alphon: “Guh. Hehe, that’s more like it.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAy2ihEMApN5
390Please respect copyright.PENANA9nWYfpdlNg
Alphon commands the surrounding water to form a fist to punch Artemis off. She takes the hit and bounces back into the fight. Alphon wipes off the blood and summons two swords of blue light.
390Please respect copyright.PENANA6veUj6SwrD
390Please respect copyright.PENANA0tHbA8zars
They clash in the hallway and exchange hundreds of attacks. Far faster than I can keep up. It’s of such intensity that the water begins to run in fear of it. A sphere of heat and power surrounds this display of power. But someone had to break eventually.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAKT6XYMIJl7
390Please respect copyright.PENANAuxham9mppa
Alphon finds an opening and kicks Artemis in the chin. The blow lefts her off the ground and through the ceiling.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAluWOTqkKOA
390Please respect copyright.PENANAX6KBY0YUzM
Alphon: “Brace yourself.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAuXufO3xnBc
390Please respect copyright.PENANA3ekLIQ7sun
Alphon readies some type of martial art and waits until Artemis returns to striking distance. When that happened he delivered a soul-destroying blow to her body, sending her flying far off.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAXLDr6WyGzg
390Please respect copyright.PENANAJsxpGhkNNy
Alphon: “She’s good.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAqo1uSGLUM3
390Please respect copyright.PENANADTNTNyWUe3
Alphon looks at his scorched fist.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAyRrxWDDmq2
390Please respect copyright.PENANA9Icw07Mwvl
Alphon: “But, I’m better.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAzkYroGFVgb
390Please respect copyright.PENANAMcU7GqmE4j
Alphon opens his fist to reveal Arc! Alphon puts Arc around his neck and once again I can his voice.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAQTznWM34aV
390Please respect copyright.PENANATJuOYNW53y
Arc: “Welcome back…master.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAwny83YpnbQ
390Please respect copyright.PENANAK4RoWmEvUW
Alphon: “Hey, Nao is the master. He has clearly proved to be worthy of you.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAikgnUJMdwu
390Please respect copyright.PENANAqyg5L5cXDs
Arc: “No one is more worthy than you Alphon.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAl8IHesABwt
390Please respect copyright.PENANAZxDsdYTUh7
Alphon: “Sure but this has gone long enough. Stop trying to overwrite his consciousness with mine.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAtnBQ5qyALz
390Please respect copyright.PENANAoyHns651Za
He tried to do what?
390Please respect copyright.PENANAJb5LTP1wNz
390Please respect copyright.PENANABBHaMbTawR
Alphon: “He’ll explain after all of this and apologize. Won’t you Arc?”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAj6irQdGGAo
390Please respect copyright.PENANARVZDsGD1JT
Arc: “…Yes.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ou4ikzd3q
390Please respect copyright.PENANAA5Fr1yxWko
This is all just…insane.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAUbloBb0xwR
390Please respect copyright.PENANAvcwU5fu7Tz
Alphon: “This is only the shallow waters kid. Now, let’s see where she landed.”
…
…390Please respect copyright.PENANAfzLrIA0o9j
Alphon: “I guess I can’t teleport anymore. Damn, this magic center. At least this body is healing nicely, I won’t have to fight for much longer.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAHizTKdfdqj
390Please respect copyright.PENANAvUgBpYl0Ke
Alphon pushes off and glides over the ground at incredible speeds. It didn’t take any time at all to find Artemis at the school gym. 390Please respect copyright.PENANA4apxmd8egB
390Please respect copyright.PENANAugHwmkMJ9b
390Please respect copyright.PENANAYWP0ZK8IpC
She was still on the ground breathing heavily.
390Please respect copyright.PENANA28OUHkXQiD
390Please respect copyright.PENANAmKkqDM2L8y
Alphon: “Damn, I might have overdone it. You okay Arms?”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAM8gSr0ldt9
390Please respect copyright.PENANAZVzBhaN5hX
Artemis: “Don’t…call me that.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAD7LOqmyyeX
390Please respect copyright.PENANAnPdePSdsKc
Seriously, what is your relationship with her?
390Please respect copyright.PENANAeu30q9JKAc
390Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ7TNyEoHq
Alphon: “A good question, for another time. We got things to do right?”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAkOXxp9AECu
390Please respect copyright.PENANAe3hbXKZDt0
Yeah, let me take over.
390Please respect copyright.PENANArfHJMQonEM
390Please respect copyright.PENANAtp0ZdFeaiC
???: “Nao?”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAUOZ80B2I0T
390Please respect copyright.PENANAXzQDWCnMq4
We look over to Alyson, Deanna, and an unconscious Trevor hiding in the corner of the gym.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAxyI78srhcL
390Please respect copyright.PENANAREQafJ7Oxk
Alphon: “Oh, Nao’s sister he somehow fell for you.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAH3Dg3q5Dos
390Please respect copyright.PENANAaJmLnQYRRd
Wasn’t that a bit of your influence? I only started to feel these things after I transformed into you.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAWwRZoRvy2l
390Please respect copyright.PENANARHT7hhk1O7
Alphon: “…Not entirely. Anyway, forgive your brother would you. He didn’t mean to break your heart.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA2qF3bmscnR
390Please respect copyright.PENANAOPAxv1yqRX
Alyson: “Wha-”
390Please respect copyright.PENANATEhOUsd4Ug
390Please respect copyright.PENANA53IsP1kv08
Artemis: “Alphon!”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAkHzEQ7USXa
390Please respect copyright.PENANARE3NgcUzTG
Artemis forces herself up, despite the serious wounds.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAIEngKrvph2
390Please respect copyright.PENANAGnuWIfphTt
Artemis: “For hurting me and my husband, I’m going to turn everything here to ashes.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAYppwdhlA7R
390Please respect copyright.PENANATv2B88FxOh
The lights begin to flicker violently and lightning starts to strike everywhere. Eventually, all the lights go out and we can see is the light from the giant lightning ball.
390Please respect copyright.PENANA3zqzOap17z
390Please respect copyright.PENANA8byY7WDdk1
Alphon: “Wow Arms, really?”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAUiFU1ttd6H
390Please respect copyright.PENANA2JwTE3k9NL
Artemis: “Knowing you, you’ll try to save those kids. Take this if you can.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANACMkQDISwlD
390Please respect copyright.PENANA8IF0nn36iC
She unleashes the lightning ball in a massive explosion that covers the entire gym. Alphon rushes to Alyson’s group and summons a massive magic barrier.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAOPTHRBvcfn
*BOOM*390Please respect copyright.PENANA09u5caAwX6
390Please respect copyright.PENANASgNIoxjUG0
For a while, there was nothing but white and the smell of burning metal and wood. When the smoke clears and the light fades, everything in the gym is either burnt or melted. Everything except what’s behind Alphon. The most important things.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAdAynst5JSl
390Please respect copyright.PENANAsKLAuhOlM6
But it came at a cost. I could feel some burns on Alphon too. The bleeding nose returns and Alphon is forced to his knees.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAIQitagy0US
390Please respect copyright.PENANAFO6mHHnqap
Alphon: “Sorry, I couldn’t block everything. This pushes you healing back a bit but-”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAsPXl12zmrr
390Please respect copyright.PENANAFBvLwLhnmA
Got it, I can handle it from here. My body shrinks, my eyes return to blue and I look like me again.
390Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lu0tZ3Q5F
390Please respect copyright.PENANA7OkzAYdOCZ
The lights flicker back on but dimmer. The soft light reveals the true devastation of the area. I can’t help but gasp in awe of such power. In the center of it all is Artemis, still recovering from the strain.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ36D8rfs1
390Please respect copyright.PENANARRcsZf8mpN
Artemis: “Damn, I don’t even have enough energy to keep the lightning cage activate. I’m sorry…my love.”
…

Anthony: “It’s alright, I’ll take it from here.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANAFrKKuSOXpS

Antony gets up and looks toward me with the same determination as before.

390Please respect copyright.PENANAvBQkK5eytr
390Please respect copyright.PENANAUod7iS4p9g
I look behind me at Alyson shaking with fear and Deanna holding onto Trevor for dear life.
390Please respect copyright.PENANA4RD7fqENdN

Nao: “…I won’t let you.”

Mat: “Sorry Anthony.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA5hiGqF8gRx

The Black Listers stand beside me and face Anthony with the same determination. The desire to stop the slaughter and save their friend from himself.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAQUevOJNAY1
Anthony: “…”390Please respect copyright.PENANAOtSG8zUiWu

Tears begin to fall from Anthony’s face and evaporate as they hit the sizzling ground.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAPGllr4DSKa
390Please respect copyright.PENANAuSjHONM76v
Anthony: “…I’m too weak to hold anymore. If this is the path you want to take, I will respect that.”
390Please respect copyright.PENANA7V5WKp0pkB
390Please respect copyright.PENANANvLJ4wFtLe
Anthony summons the last of his strength and takes a battle stance. We do the same, me with arc and everyone else with their magic items.
390Please respect copyright.PENANAIa5pftU4nJ

The final clash, starts now.
