Yep, it's time for the final crystal and a character to get changed a bit.
Aaron woke up and yawned a bit, he got up and got dressed for today. He then heard a knock on the door after he got finished getting dressed, he walked down to the door and opened it.
"Hello?" Aaron asked
He looked to see it was Jonny and Plank.
"Hey Aaron, are we gonna go after that final crystal soon?" Jonny asked
"Umm, yeah. We've just gotta get everyone." Aaron said
Jonny nodded and left, Aaron sighed after he closed the door.
"He must be excited to gain magic." Aaron said
They got everyone and gathered at a manhole, Nazz had a disgusted look on her face.
"We're going down there?" Nazz asked
"Yes, Aaron had informed me he saw a glimmer down there when he explored it once. The final crystal has to be there." Theos said
"I mean... can't some of us just stay up here?" Nazz asked
Aaron shook his head to Nazz, to which she was confused at.
"We need more people for this, we have no idea in hell how many monsters are down there. So we need all of us in order to make sure that we have some advantage or even ground." Aaron explained
Nazz thought about it on one moment, on one hand. Yes, this is a sewer, it's disgusting of course but on the other. Her friends could be put in danger or worse, killed. Nazz sighed heavily and nodded.
"Fine. Let's go down there." Nazz said
Aaron nodded, they climbed down the ladder and arrived at the bottom. They walked through the sewer, looking for where the crystal was. Fighting against strange blue orbs (they were called Will-O-Wisps), strange living piles of what looks like flan (Flans), and bigger versions of rats that weren't exactly rats as they saw normal ones (Monsterous Rats), a few goblins surprisngly enough and green versions of Merman. After a bit, they arrived in a large room with a glimmer.
"Yes, a crystal is here." Theos said
He used magic and summoned it, Aaron, Jonny, and Plank stepped up (in Planks case, carried with). The crystal did it's usual glimmering thing, just like the rest.
May the powers of the crystal bless you with even greater power as you fight this beast
Aaron, Jonny, and Plank appeared in the arena, Aaron sighed.
"No idea how Plank's even gonna fight." Aaron said
A magic shin went over Plank and it transformed into... a human? He had a yellow t-shirt, heterochromia eyes (red ring around blue eyes), blue shorts, and yellow shoes. His hair was a straw colored yellow, his skin was tan, his hair was a bit flat and spiky. He, at this very moment of speaking, was stretching.
"Man being a plank of wood was annoying, geez." Plank said
"Wow Plank, you're human now!" Jonny said
"Yes I am Jonny, and call me... Tavola since it's more human." Plank said
Aaron tapped his foot a bit before realizing what Tavola meant.
"That means Plank in Italian." Aaron said
"Yes, I figured, can't go wrong with a different version of a classic." Tavola said
Aaron shrugged a little, he then sighed.
"Right now, we've got something else to deal with." Aaron said
They heard a roar, they looked in the direction where it came from.
"A monster." Aaron said
A beast crashed down, it was green with black splotches, it almost seemed like water. It was in the shape of a dragon, it had no legs but it looked like an actual dragon in a way. A flash went through Aaron's mind.
"Viridi the Poison Mist Dragon." Aaron said
The dragon roared as it launched a torrent of water spikes, Aaron blocked a few of them as Tavola and Jonny rolled away. Aaron started to attack it, doing some damage but not enough to make a difference. Aaron rolled away as it swiped at him using a claw made of water.
"Tavola, Jonny. Focus on a weapon." Aaron said
Jonny and Tavola nodded, they both focused on a weapon. In Jonny's hands were a gold knuckle dusters and on his feet was a pair of green sabatons, they had the symbol of a leaf engraved on them. Tavola had a large scythe with a golden blade with the underside being a darker gold color, the attachment ring was a silver color, the snath was cherry wood. Engraved on the blade was the symbol of a leaf.
"Aw shoot, I've got... what are these?" Jonny asked
Aaron was about to say something but Tavola beat him to the punch.
"Knuckle Dusters, they are pretty good for bunch. You're wearing sabatons also, good for kicking." Tavola explained
Jonny nodded and started to fiercely fight Viridi with punches and kicks, Tavola spun around like a tornado and slashed at Viridi multiple times as Aaron was throwing his shield and slashing it while using a few elemental spells. The three's eyes glowed and they stood by each other.
"Cross attack!" Aaron said
Jonny kicked the mist dragon into the air and proceeded to punch it all over before jumping away for Tavola to the start slashing at it, he slashed all over before finishing it off with one strong slash. Aaron then threw his shield and grappled to the mist dragon, he slashed all around it while launching a couple bolts of electricity before finishing it off with a stab to the chest.
They two landed and the mist dragon was absorbed into the floor, defeated by the three. Jonny just danced around with a small jig while Tavola spun around his scythe before propping it on his shoulder, and Aaron propped his sword onto his shoulder.
They were teleported back together with a bright flash.
You have earned our blessing, take magic and change the world with it
Another bright flash and they were back in the sewer, everyone that wasn't in the crystal looked at Tavola confused (except Theos who was pleasantly surprised).
"Wait where's Plank?" Jimmy asked
"Your looking at him." Tavola said simply
Everyone (again, that wasn't in the crystal) looked at Tavola shocked (except Theos who was amused by the turn of events).
"It seems Plank has unlocked his magic and has gained a new form." Theos said
"Call me Tavola, need a name that's more... natural." Tavola said
"Ah yes, Tavola. You've gained the ability to manipulate wood." Theos said
Tavola raised an eyebrow, he shrugged shortly after.
"Guess that oughta be useful." Tavola said
Theos than looked at Jonny.
"Jonny, you've gained the ability to enhance your strikes using the power of your soul." Theos said
Jonny grinned at this, Theos than looked at Aaron.
"Aaron, you've unlocked the last of your power. You've now gained new abilities and something very special." Theos said
Aaron nodded a bit, Theos then looked at Aaron seriously.
"The first ability you've unlocked is the power to sense magic." Theos said
Aaron raised an eyebrow before closing his eyes, he saw different colored flames while he closed his eyes before opening them.
"Huh, neat." Aaron said simply
"Yes, the second is the ability to call back your weapon if it gets away from you." Theos explained
Aaron then threw his sword at a goblin that was gonna attack them, it disappeared in a bright flash and appeared in Aaron's hand.
"Oh that's fucking awesome." Aaron said
"Understandable, the third and final ability is that your shield can be surfed on any surface with enough speed." Theos said
Aaron nodded, Theos then looked at Aaron with a serious look.
"You've gained a very special ability, a power that all except you are able to use. You've gained the ability to send your magic into an overloaded states, enhancing your abilities for a short while before you deplete it. Once depleted, you can be attacked quite easily. So use it sparingly." Theos said
Aaron nodded, that's when he felt a burst of energy within him. He looked at his hands and they were now glowing a light blue, Aaron looked at Theos.
"Your magic has been restored to it's true form. Congratulations on your achievement." Theos said clapping
They left the sewer with relative ease, Aaron looked at his hand, feeling the magic course through him.
"So... what now?" Aaron asked
"Now, you must defend yourselves when possible. There are magical beings that will be out to attack you and not give humanity a fighting chance, they will mainly attack here and mainly attack any of you. They know that as long as you are banded together, you will be a threat." Theos explained
Everyone looked at Theos shocked, not expecting that.
"I understand if you don't want to accept this but at this point, we have no choice." Theos said
"And that means?" Kevin asked
"It means that even if we didn't activate the crystals and you gained magic, monsters would still return and magic will become a part of reality again." Theos explained
Everyone looked at each other, except Aaron who was looking at Theos.
"...Alright." Aaron said
Everyone looked at Aaron confused.
"Alright what?" Eddy asked
"Alright... I'll fight for good." Aaron said
Eddy looked at Aaron confused and shocked.
"Aaron, aren't you hearing this. We're in danger!" Eddy said with Aaron having a small frown on his face
He looked at Eddy with a serious look.
"Eddy, think about it. If we don't stop them, who will?" Aaron asked
Eddy wanted to say something back but... nothing came back.
"I've fought for a long while, I've fought against Butch's attempt, I've fought for you guys, I've fought for people I've cared about for a long time. Now, everyone's in danger if we or even I don't do anything about it." Aaron said
He then put a hand on Eddy's shoulder.
"I can't risk anyone else possibly getting hurt, so I'll keep fighting. Till the very end." Aaron said
Aaron then took his hand off Eddy's shoulder.
"Because someone's gonna fucking have to, whether they like it or not." Aaron said
Eddy looked at Aaron in thought before chuckling a little.
"...Yeah, I'm in." Eddy said putting his hand in
Double D looked at Eddy and Aaron before nodding and putting his hand in.
"I'm in also." Double D said
Ed then put his hand in, smiling widely.
"Ed is in also!" Ed said
Kevin put his hand in, a cocky look on his face.
"If it means punching something in the face, I'm in." Kevin said
Nazz put hers in, a gentle smile on her face.
"I'll fight till the very end also, I'm in." Nazz said
Soon everyone put their hands in, agreeing to join in.
"Rolf will fight for his friends, his family, and his new homeland, Rolf is in."
"I've got a sewing needle to fight with and some enemies to fight, I'm in."
"Someone's gotta keep an eye on Ed, I'm in too!"
"I'll fight for Tavola, I'm in three!"
"Hey, someone's gotta fight and I'd think I'll have some fun doing it. I'm in."
Aaron nodded and put his hand in, he grinned.
"Lets do this." Aaron said
The broke apart their hands, Theos nodded.
"It seems I will need to help in this also." Theos said
He stuck out his hand and in it was mace, the head was a brilliant red color with the shaft being a black color. On the edge of the handle was the symbol of a book.
"Since... I haven't fought all that much since I've arrived here." Theos said
That day, they all agreed, fighting for what's right would be for the best.
Meanwhile
A old man with long white hair and a skinny body was walking out of a door, chains hanging loosely from hands. He was on a mountain top, ancient and old, he grinned with his chapped lips.
"I've been freed after so many years, it seems as though the magic seal had been dispelled after a few years. Though magic is returning." The old man said hoarsely
He looked up, his grey eyes glowing red for a bit.
"That makes my plan so much easier." He said with a grin
It seems a new villain... or rather an OLD one, has arisen.
Oooohhhh~ a new villain are we dealing with?
I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
