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?!”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd9vewVk53
Crack!87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrppDnVEL1
“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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5gxYFKI3P
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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL8Bh5JjHI
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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflEiEbxerb
CREEAAKKKK!!!87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDCqwYlgSP
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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStsV83BtBM
“A bunch of crazy lunatics stealing them because they think some God will let them ascend once they commit borderline genocide.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuLTVQFZMv
Both of them chuckled. Axel looked down slightly.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpTXcVZR5b
“You good?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrDdl0GsLT
“Is… Cyn gonna be okay? You mentioned she went back to the Arena.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K2AnNV7ki
“Well me, Josh and Hope are all meant to help her but Josh is still injured, and the two of us are stuck here.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDRVCt8sMP
“Hopefully she’ll be fine by herself.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUKsTqSqzC
“Yeah.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5bADXegwB
Axel stood up.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtaQHDHSL7
“Can we catch up to them?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwzz3gtRmf
“Wh- I mean, aren’t you really injured right now? You should rest.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmTGGbzvv6
“Like I said…”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzlsM9McQJ
Axel began to limp down the staircase.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpcRKKfuUf
“I’ve been through worse.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D06lOPTTM
“If ya’ say so.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSilXYYg5b
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ5KRH7XNm
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Do8lqogh
A giant thud echoed across the Lab, before a roar emitted in the distance.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g8XtFYBfk
“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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV8AYKwiyx
“What actually is this place, anyway?” Cynthia continued to stay alert of the Amalgamation.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy0zFa3jVh
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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnMueZATEw
“They moved their lab… under the Arena?” Cynthia seemed confused.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIGlCue53Y
“Yeah.” Zhen didn’t really want to make conversation, she just wanted to fix this mess.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR987Y70uN
“So why do you have access to open the doors?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUExkKMRTa
Zhen froze in curiosity, sideyeing Cynthia. “Are you stupid? We’re obviously part of NET.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYUeFvtJMb
“Huh?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb9HMfcGbM
“What do you mean, huh? Are you sure you’re actually the Guardian? I’m talking about the Nightfall Exploration Team.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdQMr7kVyR
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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJrHquXtr1
“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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkpLiZAf7w
“That doesn’t explain how you know this place like it's on the back of your hand.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz8Nr4aJkv
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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jVMADeLgZ
“Not to mention it probably has something to do with Hope’s main dagger.” Kai added. 87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡartAZTiUxd
“Ok wait. I’m really confused right now, just go over why you have access to the Lab.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCs57DxV0z
Thomas sighed.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vf8hFVHC1
“I went to one of the churches in sweet ol’ Texas. Not our Church, but one of the Sunrise Churches.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyX1zRf06q
“You went to a Terror Church? Why? How?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9IGaXYdmG
“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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtspZhYHxCD
“So-”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YQ8kVl10R
“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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiCO4Beb48
“How long ago was this?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeaZzeRbUd
“Just a year after I left Nightfall Base.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJeNhncErn
“But didn’t you flee to the countryside because everything got too… stressful or something?87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9nf0GpNV6
“I did! But is that really important right now when we have to deal with-”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl91dngPRm
Clink.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQjJiP0U9x
SMASH!87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S2i98hXOr
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBXcNcB61o
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulDUpZHtuV
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlETHZdRqSF
Zhen screamed “NOW!”, before throwing an Ice Potion straight into the hole, freezing the inside of it.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwlN8yW8Sy
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnH4MDdXrd
Buck appeared to her again. Flashing in her eyes.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtnHgHdpG8
“No, wait-”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f1bg3h9Lv
She tripped, her sight immediately faded into black.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP9OSnv8bc
“What are you doing? We don’t have much more time before it completely unfreezes!”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoahC4FMVl
Thomas ran towards Cynthia and grabbed it out of her hands. “Forget this! I’ll do it myself!”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmTAdBJ64l
The Ghostwalker became lighter, Thomas never killed anyone with this.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUe48C10Lm
“No wonder Zephyr said you weren't worthy.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6pFgKDexx
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfN2oKoqMl
It screamed in fear and pain as its hands began to fall apart.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lebiUZL9W
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO6GXRmtae
…87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjLGqDDBUL
GRAWWWWWRRR!!!!87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIttNeOT6T
…87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpbiaeHr0F
Darkness.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzuIBhor7v
Hope appeared above her, wielding her dagger.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW5rxW8JuH
It was different from how it normally looked. It looked more white, it shined in the darkness. It felt cold.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa8HhohFWA
Cynthia felt the vision.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJpx7JtLYI
“I’m sorry…”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihRuPSpZY5
Her face was filled with blood.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaPYEMTnvo
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFDSIqAuyz
“I can’t let you kill everyone else.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvonVEN5eK
She tried to shout. Pleading only to have no voice.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr5pmonkYg
The ice froze her eyes as Hope faded away.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mKgoAKaF0
It felt real.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBbOEf5qMr
…87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8HZi3ZAjl
GRAWWWWRRRR!!!!87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGifg91Yj4m
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrrJ0fAXcG
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT3sArtLDv
A hand burst out of another part of its body, whacking Thomas away. Its body began to break free from the ice magic.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvqb8vIvJh
Zhen grabbed another Ice Potion. “Shit! Run!”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBftgrextWj
More hands began to sprout from other parts of the body. Some resorted into a fist shape, crashing down on the crew.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ491oqFD1GE
Kai was held down on the metallic floor, slowly being crushed.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6m6MKitwn
“AGGHHHH! HELP!”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZw5GGMPDm
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40G6WgDQkn
“Just DIE already!”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8WqG1kkbN
She struggled to twist the Ghostwalker. The hands of the beast weakened and Kai began to break free from the grip.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyBXFCoHbr
It attempted to shapeshift but the Ghostwalker seemed to be keeping it in place.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKLemCyz6V
“I don't think this is gonna work!” Kai strained. “We need to create an opening!”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3SWjbSHsA
Cynthia slightly smiled. “We already did, and now look! We might actually-”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEZEJMd2O1
“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.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIDq4VBsuj
“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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6u010Q7ar
“It will just keep fighting back, it’s no use!” Zhen prepared to throw the Ice Potion in her hand.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIUKj9wZwB
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EiYHsCObY
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvBcCPWbKT
Quick footsteps were heard from the hallway.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNvqc3Nus0
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW1FHi9Yrr
“Stand back.” Her voice sounded different. Not the way she used to sound.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQNAB2RIrR
“Bella?” Cynthia and Zhen say in unison. She didn’t even look at them.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNOJxMG1Ve
“Just let me handle this.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvGIjiByZv
She held a staff. Just like the Amalgamation’s.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYO7dlJa1g
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EwjCmmHWo
The creatures began to expand the holes where the Amalgamation was creating more arms, finally creating a better opening.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzKejUE3ja
“Is that a good enough opportunity?” She glared at Cynthia. Her eyes were a shade of dark green. “Strike it!”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIfMPkLUdR
She nodded, tightening her grip on the Ghostwalker before charging straight into the expanded hole. 87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6FeczSHjL
It screamed in pain, but it still tried to fight back as chains attempted to reach Cynthia.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5hSqUPwMg
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJITNDoLlk
Bella’s blackened hand scratched her head. “Huh? The one I had to handle didn't-”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23gdQSlMVI
A Speedster rammed into her. The other silhouettes began to shift into their real lifeforms.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvwYkSwKZJ
Conjurers, Swordsmen, Attackers, Defenders…87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sSjAAhKxt
Dominance.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc6i6lUuab
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaTd5ZBbXr
“Why aren’t they going back?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA2o7Ptc7o
“What do you mean?” Thomas began shooting his pistol at Dominance… but Dominance just stared at Cynthia.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipcFZRBABv
“Dominic? How are you HERE? How is this even-”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCaHcf6n1r
He conjured a Metal Fist and slammed it straight into Cynthia. She ungraciously fell to her back.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCUO8dzihw
“I think we need to take the Amalgamation down! They’re all linked to… to…87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYOsQffzTu
Oh my god.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSNLYccixY
Bella looked up. There was a balcony, with a dark, mysterious figure standing. Watching. The Darkheart was unsheathed.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0HpP2LjRg
“What?”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zzWAsQoGl
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.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30G2iRDMqo
An arm similar to Bella’s reached out to the Ghostwalker and instantly grabbed it from Cynthia’s hand with no struggle.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBH2rFHqGf
At the split second that the beast broke out, the figure stabbed straight into the Amalgamation, holding it in place with dark vines.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz223hSRidj
The other resurrected Terrors began to disintegrate. That, along with Death.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz0grnT4Nn
Swift footsteps were heard, along with heavy breathing. Hope and Theo arrived at the scene.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuD39D5Cnp
Bella dropped her staff, looking in awe.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVOjHfnEDu
That helmet. That darkheart-powered armour.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4u2KuM2BJ
Shadow Rider.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nnJ4Y3ohZ
Theo took a photo, breathing still shaking. 87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBL83uDqjW
Nobody even bothered to stop him.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrwRTgD9jO
They all just stared at the Leader.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflCkiSYKSP
Cynthia, Bella, Kai, Zhen, Thomas, Theo…87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QUydEXzki
And Hope. Hope broke the silence.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDCVoXJrSm
“Cairo..?” 87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fWlZcAUSK
He took a step forward. No hesitation.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngivCBTbme
“The dagger. Hand it over.”87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjZtxCDffb
His eyes were finally visible. Looking into Hope’s soul. He spoke once more.87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i5YnCOVtQ
“I have to end this.”
