Garth here!

I wanted to write this in honor of all my losses. This time i'm not going to! Cheer me up!

Viktor huffed. "Stay still, Ulkina... Come on. The Gods want you to stay still."

"T-they do?" she gasped. The Summoner pulled a lever and channelled the elemental energy right into her. "Great success! Power Level: 65. Her combat prowess is rapidly increasing... Her Brave Burst strengthened too!" said Matt, taking off his glasses. "It will be 35.000 Coins, thank you."

Viktor groaned, and gave the Coins to him. "Come, Ulkina." he said, the Fire Goddess flying over to him. "So... Are you adapted to live amongst humans?"

"A bit. You seem worthy of a God's favour... And you have Lady Maxwell at your side too..." she replied, looking at the sky. "That's wonderful. Although you're TOO close..."

"SHE should come home... It's almost the day." said Viktor, a spark of malice in his eyes. "Finally my bed will see some action."

"Ew. Are you going to DO IT with Lady Maxwell?" snarled Ulkina, raising her wand.

"Doing what?" asked the Creator, casually walking out of the kitchen. "Oh, Ulky. Have you seen Narza?"

"He must be in the training grounds, working his ass off." replied Alvitr, eating a sandwich. "Hey, Vick! Why have you bought a large bed? You're one..."

"Unless you finally want to propose to me! I accept!" added Ronel, blushing slightly. The Valkyrie glared at her. "Viktor is MINE, gal. Touch him and i'll bisect you."

"Bisect this!" replied the angel, showing her her butt. Maxwell snarled, making the both of them shut up. "Now, Vick... Why have you bought a large bed?" she asked with a cute smile. "...Maybe to prevent me from sleeping alone again?"

"You wish, miss flatty!" sassied Ronel.

Alvitr nodded. "Who wants you? You're flat as a table! Viktor wants me, riiiiight?" she said, hugging him tightly... VERY tightly. He just gulped, but was totally red. "Uhm, Alvy... Please don't. She will enrage..."

"Who's 'she'? I'm here." said a voice. "AND GET AWAY FROM VIKTOR!"

"Why?" said the Valkyrie, turning around. She jumped away right as a flying sword cut her hairs. "Hey! Vick, there's a nutcase here!"

"Kill her! Kill her!" shouted Ronel, hanging from the ceiling like a bat.

"Can i Endless her?" asked Maxwell, readying her magic.

"Wait! WAIT! She's just Sefia!" said Viktor, shielding her. "Sorry, Sefia."

"Why are them saying that they love you, Vick?" she inquired. "If they're serious, i'll kill them all."

"Don't make me laugh, hothead!" sassied Ronel. "And think more of defending!"

"Kill yourself, Sefia." snarled Alvitr.

"Gals, this ISN'T the right moment..." said the Summoner. "Instead, try to focus. Now that we have a Mitigator, we CAN tackle Cardes seriously."

"Seriously my ass!" replied Ronel. "He thrashed us like nothing last time..."

"Yeah." stated Maxwell. "We simply can't defeat him now. Not with Luther and Phee backing him up."

"Stupid flamehead..." muttered Alvitr. "He singed my hairs! He must PAY!"

"Stupid shorty..." snarled Maxwell. "I'm going to smash him to the ground one day. I hate his aptitude."

"Well, give me some time." said Viktor, going in his lab. "Don't enter..." said at the girls. Feeling Maxwell behind him, he groaned. "Gah, Maxie... Fine, you can stay."

"I just wanted to... Say... Come to my room this evening." she said, walking away.

The Summoner huffed. He took the Green Herbs and crushed them, putting them in a pot. "It's gonna be a long day..."

-At Noel's lab, the next day-

"WHY? WHY I CAN'T DO DAMAGE?!"

Cardes's wail echoed in the battle arena, making Maxwell smirk. "Not so cocky now, are you?"

"Go, Sefia! Paralyze Luther!" yelled Viktor, making Sefia charge at the enemy. "Yeah! Now, only one more round of Super Brave Bursts and..."

"Hey! I'll crush you!" snarled Luther, running to Viktor's team. He hit Ronel and Narza, leaving open room for Cardes, that opened his arms in a dramatic way.

"Light of the Gate...

Power of the Malicious Gods...

Karna Masta...

These fools...

They stand in out way..."

Maxwell knelt over. "Fuck... You... Cardes..."

Viktor looked flabbergasted at the scene. Ronel knocked out cold, Narza bloody and cut, Ulkina licking her wounds on the floor, Zelnite exhausted, Sefia passed out and Maxwell kneeling over, clutching to her spear. "Maxie... You can do it..."

"Never surrender." she said. "Never. Endless Fury!"

"Bearer of the burden of Resurrection...

Keeper of a memory that shall be soiled...

Child worthy of my creation...

My name is Maxwell...

RELEASE THE FALLEN GOD THAT CRAVES DESTRUCTION!

Luther and Phee screamed as they were defeated. Cardes accused the hit, kneeling over as well. Maxwell was fully powered up again, standing tall. She glared at Cardes. "I'm not going to lose! Not now... I must do it for Viktor..." She blushed a bit.

Cardes clutched his wounded side, cursing. "Maxwell... I won't lose to you either! I'm still not dead! DEADLY END!"

The Creator blocked with her spear, enduring the attack. She then threw it at Cardes, making it explode and knocking out the Fallen God. She panted heavily, smiling. But she gasped when Cardes rose yet again. He smirked, charging energy. "Good night, sweet princess..."

Viktor only had the chance to curse once before being knocked out. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the same bed as Maxwell, with bandages all over her. "Hey, Maxie..." he whispered. "You ok?"

"Not really..." she replied, looking at him. "Ah... I am..."

"I wouldn't worry for that." smirked Viktor, caressing her cheek. "Maxie... You did your best. We just have to make someone grow to Seven Stars. An maybe go into the Bad Lands. I heard there's a really strong someone in there. If we can make it join us... We'll have some chances."

"Viktor..." said Maxwell, a tear falling out of her right eye (The left was bandaged) "This is why i love you. You won't surrender, ever. Even when fighting the most powerful enemy, even when defeated multiple times. I felt that. And that's why you are my Summoner."

Viktor hugged her, feeling the mysterious scent of her skin. When he heard her yelp he instantly let her go though. "Ah... I think i have a broken rib... Don't do that..."

He then kissed her, smiling. "I'll never let you go, Maxwell... You don't have to worry."

"Thanks..." she said. "Say, Viktor... Magna chose Kikuri... Is this why Sefia came to you?"

"Light and Shadows." replied the Summoner. "They oppose each other but can't exist separately. Without light, the shadows won't exist, but without Shadow, the light wouldn't shine. You're my light, Maxie. Without you... I wouldn't know how to go forward."

"Then... Let's keep the darkness at a bay. Together." whispered Maxwell.

Darvanshell is ready... It's bashing time, Cardes...

Also, in the intermission between the two days happens precisely what you think. Go read Garth's lost chapters please.
