Anthony: “Your voice…”632Please respect copyright.PENANAl0MkFzlHyE
632Please respect copyright.PENANA3spoRViT1i
632Please respect copyright.PENANAHgB2WfvJlR
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.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA5fmQzM0dyP
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFf1AVzeZRD
Alphon: “Artemis? Ha! That crazy bitch found herself another replacement for her dead husband. Poor ma-”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAKRQa6VLAxA
*Boom*632Please respect copyright.PENANAm4jfIFVVh5
632Please respect copyright.PENANAbiv9v7skXG
Artemis: “Shut up…”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMtb59xU60t
632Please respect copyright.PENANAd6xmxsvW7Y
Alphon: *Whistle*
632Please respect copyright.PENANABBDLJrIq4a
632Please respect copyright.PENANATYVOFt77Y9
Alphon: “Good thing you’re a terrible shot.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMubAHdoSB2
632Please respect copyright.PENANAiKIrD8xJQu
Anthony: “I already can guess her circumstances. There’s no way someone this powerful would willingly marry me.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAjvoh7YV5Ks
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGxUZJSDvZV
Artemis: “Oh honey, you’re so understanding. I love you even more.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA3TWst7UYzL
632Please respect copyright.PENANAwosap63wkw
Anthony: “…Sure.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANApSufROumPL
632Please respect copyright.PENANAhX9R6efEA0
Artemis: “Don’t pout love. I know what will make us happy, how about some more murder.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAVnbvW9OJzJ
632Please respect copyright.PENANAcGg39j1FDx
Alphon: “Man, stop switching so much. It’s creepy.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAGPw4rCU6jC
632Please respect copyright.PENANAfu1iLgD8ii
Artemis: “Tch.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAsUV8QdCrcC
632Please respect copyright.PENANA3ii2h55p4G
Anthony: “I rather not kill you when you’re possessing Nao. But I’ll do what I must.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAF84PcipFVH
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaHKiDsA0vv
Alphon: “So you’ll fight me first?”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAmKPkeLGzoM
632Please respect copyright.PENANAiI3jd3uuQ5
Anthony: “…Why not? Despite her protests, I want to see how strong you were.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA5HcoFEfO3v
632Please respect copyright.PENANAggPOUNxnqR
Alphon: “I see. Well, don’t be blown away too quickly.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8k8IvDK9Ga
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ5uYgaX90
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzuAhe4zzzo
632Please respect copyright.PENANAsjOQKj9DNW
Alphon: “Man you can’t take a hit. If you keep shocking yourself awake this won’t take long.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAekQ5Ht9xRZ
632Please respect copyright.PENANAe5ozMXLwEg
Anthony pushes rumble off himself and coughs up some blood.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA6EiOGIrgSx
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFOOu418g4j
Anthony: “How can…you use spells without Arc?”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAdNWMFINcMZ
632Please respect copyright.PENANAra1LWAqWki
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.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAF5h0Bfvtl3
632Please respect copyright.PENANAnxfMen6TFS
Anthony: “…No Artemis, one more time.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAuudMP2AAz6
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8thckpH3xG
Anthony unleashes a barrage of lightning blasts but they simply bounce off of Alphon’s transparent shield.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzWubSlYB2t
632Please respect copyright.PENANAAIZI8KPuIZ
Alphon: “Better let Artemis fight kid, you might not survive the next one.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAezXmyAFlO2
632Please respect copyright.PENANACHrG3wGkO4
Don’t kill him!
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1GOygGmRwq
632Please respect copyright.PENANAW3GO63qrJS
Alphon: “Don’t worry, I’ll try simple spells. But you gotta let me stretch my legs.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA7ovp74dQg1
632Please respect copyright.PENANAWimSkPWn3y
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAPmyC7rg8dN
632Please respect copyright.PENANAZrirGCq0cS
Alphon: “Keep running kid! Make it fun, it hasn’t even been a minute since we started.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAsd2IXSBjFd
632Please respect copyright.PENANAlXDlIsTwdI
Anthony: “Tch.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1DoJwuP81F
632Please respect copyright.PENANApN1yflAwuM
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaUh8jREd1u
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1O4CILbC3e
Alphon: “Sure, why not old fashioned clash.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAHJVtrfOlOK
632Please respect copyright.PENANAiFGT3gVXOD
Alphon points a finger at Anthony and charges blue energy. The energy sends ripples through the water around his feet and burns the air.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8V2LcVsus1
632Please respect copyright.PENANAZG6xBcc55Z
Anthony: “Thunderous Cataclysm!”
632Please respect copyright.PENANARz2SvWrMBg
632Please respect copyright.PENANAbrnQR96gIw
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMitqtAKllF
632Please respect copyright.PENANA5lJTXZLQCK
Alphon: “Magic Cannon.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAvUamObuzpJ
632Please respect copyright.PENANAuaRKHB2XnE
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA6fjiI5dfm0
632Please respect copyright.PENANAPIs6NRvI5P
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAep5Jo2MHGo
632Please respect copyright.PENANAtQHYEB1Vwl
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAyt2O3aepUW
632Please respect copyright.PENANAJmzxqtv6y6
What…have you done?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAvGBRRzMgNi
632Please respect copyright.PENANAA2uAI2zW0y
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.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAhxqHTOe63y
632Please respect copyright.PENANACCo3i3byvy
And what about Anthony!?
632Please respect copyright.PENANApWMr3Vvr2C
632Please respect copyright.PENANA0ngAb8WuBJ
Alphon: “I’m sure Artemis will save him. That attack was too weak to end them both.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANACOiw4Z1Pm3
632Please respect copyright.PENANA9r6kw1j0GK
Weak?
632Please respect copyright.PENANA7wlRXAwS7B
*Drip*632Please respect copyright.PENANAPXXarC9SAz
632Please respect copyright.PENANAKZYE2kvHEL
Alphon touches his nose and again, it’s bleeding.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAhPtbFfe8Gi
632Please respect copyright.PENANAhG1TMEbzpT
Alphon: “You gotta be-”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAVxxt1PLcla
632Please respect copyright.PENANASp4oXGoCqN
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. 632Please respect copyright.PENANAh2QhJM4WW4
632Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Ow4MZxVd
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8SKNs8chOv
Artemis: “My turn.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAfDHwp4YYp8
632Please respect copyright.PENANAPiON9KALOH
Artemis slams hard onto Alphon who blocks it with his magic-reinforced hands.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAY9BuXITzyg
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.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAxl909GmcNy
632Please respect copyright.PENANAvSTMOUKJRq
The lightning spear starts to burn through the magic reinforcements and shock Alphon.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8HYoS15x1q
632Please respect copyright.PENANAuckbTpA4OC
Alphon: “Guh. Hehe, that’s more like it.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaKBR5o2RE5
632Please respect copyright.PENANA2bnjY3dsSr
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAIqzwBoDLJt
632Please respect copyright.PENANAkqFe1kpFsa
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAqD5RaLeHi8
632Please respect copyright.PENANAwNOftdRM3W
Alphon finds an opening and kicks Artemis in the chin. The blow lefts her off the ground and through the ceiling.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAXRTfVuioT0
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMmD7XheNUM
Alphon: “Brace yourself.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAPvPUSZdTEs
632Please respect copyright.PENANADN9Tym3tWz
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAjOuG6R9I6K
632Please respect copyright.PENANAguMnyk2ZDo
Alphon: “She’s good.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAwJXsl1vUwi
632Please respect copyright.PENANAIUpJ2UfEcm
Alphon looks at his scorched fist.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAEZb1SvUJlv
632Please respect copyright.PENANAehQw2p5OH0
Alphon: “But, I’m better.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAVNFfi2EmOU
632Please respect copyright.PENANADC8Yce0ggj
Alphon opens his fist to reveal Arc! Alphon puts Arc around his neck and once again I can his voice.
632Please respect copyright.PENANANk87nL5r00
632Please respect copyright.PENANAxMUSHKZyQd
Arc: “Welcome back…master.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAvmQ01oEbGA
632Please respect copyright.PENANA5RKORDUxyl
Alphon: “Hey, Nao is the master. He has clearly proved to be worthy of you.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAUmjcgkEd5P
632Please respect copyright.PENANAI2e21K33KR
Arc: “No one is more worthy than you Alphon.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAk6H2651iLw
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1h1FsBCAcV
Alphon: “Sure but this has gone long enough. Stop trying to overwrite his consciousness with mine.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAmftotJdAmY
632Please respect copyright.PENANAf9jhYfGjEG
He tried to do what?
632Please respect copyright.PENANA0twgT32u4S
632Please respect copyright.PENANAKnMlcWgFhE
Alphon: “He’ll explain after all of this and apologize. Won’t you Arc?”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8o0Fr2msNI
632Please respect copyright.PENANAUn0zkhjWKe
Arc: “…Yes.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFALxPt0cMr
632Please respect copyright.PENANAfo4QJxSnA9
This is all just…insane.
632Please respect copyright.PENANASbgZ4k9YEa
632Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wnh25ykjL
Alphon: “This is only the shallow waters kid. Now, let’s see where she landed.”
…
…632Please respect copyright.PENANAKeglUw4rPe
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.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAyVw93ge1KE
632Please respect copyright.PENANAawlx5XowEj
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. 632Please respect copyright.PENANAggpn9s5skc
632Please respect copyright.PENANAboPHbx4Qts
632Please respect copyright.PENANARGPOMXWU3F
She was still on the ground breathing heavily.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA0kGTmb4yYw
632Please respect copyright.PENANAL4c1QgbmWN
Alphon: “Damn, I might have overdone it. You okay Arms?”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2AfnHVKyt
632Please respect copyright.PENANAlEYNU787LS
Artemis: “Don’t…call me that.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAOl3n4rY4fp
632Please respect copyright.PENANATo34bYdcRa
Seriously, what is your relationship with her?
632Please respect copyright.PENANAX1kYC8MNk6
632Please respect copyright.PENANAjAPNrDJPsG
Alphon: “A good question, for another time. We got things to do right?”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAIBqvl00vKZ
632Please respect copyright.PENANA7UdfIkZJvn
Yeah, let me take over.
632Please respect copyright.PENANArgIbRqs0sU
632Please respect copyright.PENANAthQ1YdgzUz
???: “Nao?”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mf8LCxtCw
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaLkhM2J46K
We look over to Alyson, Deanna, and an unconscious Trevor hiding in the corner of the gym.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAdXKafsN9CU
632Please respect copyright.PENANAvpUWVw7595
Alphon: “Oh, Nao’s sister he somehow fell for you.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAQSDf00yUjc
632Please respect copyright.PENANAFqY4pfJPzI
Wasn’t that a bit of your influence? I only started to feel these things after I transformed into you.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAl9Zd8iGovu
632Please respect copyright.PENANAfnKoQfzh1Y
Alphon: “…Not entirely. Anyway, forgive your brother would you. He didn’t mean to break your heart.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANArABewVLiLR
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMw5LMwiadJ
Alyson: “Wha-”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z6roNb5ZZ
632Please respect copyright.PENANAjFukHOOPAK
Artemis: “Alphon!”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMDRXm6PvNT
632Please respect copyright.PENANAM7rOZPDow5
Artemis forces herself up, despite the serious wounds.
632Please respect copyright.PENANATkzVD2Prv7
632Please respect copyright.PENANADHJT7rPwhU
Artemis: “For hurting me and my husband, I’m going to turn everything here to ashes.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANATSa8Q4T8V7
632Please respect copyright.PENANAcyE2TOxha2
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaGaf1GxVnG
632Please respect copyright.PENANAiNqcnYIaB0
Alphon: “Wow Arms, really?”
632Please respect copyright.PENANALkd0Q1EbPr
632Please respect copyright.PENANAgknEmZROGX
Artemis: “Knowing you, you’ll try to save those kids. Take this if you can.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAZkUIB4l4XJ
632Please respect copyright.PENANALQrV8WRDNu
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA2TKtwYf7Rd
*BOOM*632Please respect copyright.PENANAdmFlAZAi4X
632Please respect copyright.PENANABNM0KFAdoj
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAHJKWaMfILt
632Please respect copyright.PENANAT9xYC2Vozg
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANArp92ZHo3PU
632Please respect copyright.PENANAuEzYTLSOn0
Alphon: “Sorry, I couldn’t block everything. This pushes you healing back a bit but-”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAi5AoGtYIeC
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzFqpeItkSp
Got it, I can handle it from here. My body shrinks, my eyes return to blue and I look like me again.
632Please respect copyright.PENANA9chUw3HED7
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1rSaPD939H
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAnA9QQD17n5
632Please respect copyright.PENANAQm2kIcZoRc
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.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAgtNox1v3pp
632Please respect copyright.PENANAizo1A72sne
Antony gets up and looks toward me with the same determination as before.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAK2FdToBgFp

Nao: “Anthony, it’s not too late to stop.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzD13VqK1Ke
632Please respect copyright.PENANAheE7wjGYjD
Anthony: “I…am really tired now, I’ll admit. But I can still fry you and those three before the police get here.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANA1bcCklUpgo
632Please respect copyright.PENANAzVAsL8VQgc
I look behind me at Alyson shaking with fear and Deanna holding onto Trevor for dear life.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAMfKk4gJOZy
632Please respect copyright.PENANAZhpK1PIm8z
Nao: “…I won’t let you.”

632Please respect copyright.PENANALrfZQepVKB

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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAlQMpE39dTA
Anthony: “…”632Please respect copyright.PENANAKYuQruGbCW

Tears begin to fall from Anthony’s face and evaporate as they hit the sizzling ground.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAaxxXlfiTqF
632Please respect copyright.PENANAx2fnzPGYQk
Anthony: “…I’m too weak to hold anymore. If this is the path you want to take, I will respect that.”
632Please respect copyright.PENANAPIslCJKYX7
632Please respect copyright.PENANAQjDxz3zpmK
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.
632Please respect copyright.PENANAsaz7EnOklD
632Please respect copyright.PENANAtNWB8DCrN3
The final clash, starts now.
