Darkar Pov
It shall not be long now. Only a few more minutes and the circle of anti-elements shall be complete. Then, I shall use the power of the Dragonfire, mixing it with my Shadowfire, to create the key. Then, the seal shall show me the door, and i shall finally have the ultimate power!
"Stormy, my pet. Bring me the fairy with the Dragonfire." I told the lifeless corpse of a minion. I had removed what remained of her life when she had been broken, and molded her into the ultimate fighting machine. Emotionless, mindless, and merciless. I also blessed her with the new element I had create, molding my dark powers with the power of science to create the element of gravity.
True, there had been spells for it before, but never had it been consider an element before I had molded it myself to create the ultimate form of power. Using one's own magical aura, one could surpress the powers of others as well as increase the power of gravity around them, essentially neutralizing anyone in seconds. It had proven its worth by eliminating those three stupid schools in mere hours. A feat most had failed to do in centuries of attempts.
Stormy reappeared moments later with the fairy girl, bound and naked covereed in the necessary markings. Her hands were bruised and raw from trying to escape, as were her ankles, knees and elbows.
"Place her over here. Bring the others as well. More power can't hurt." She did as told, placing them around the circle I had crafted to form the door and key. I ripped the gag off her mouth, which as followed by screaming and yelling.
"You sick pervert! You get your kicks out of bounding and gagging us? You are a sick bastard!" she screamed at me, squirming around trying to break her binds. They were made of shadowfire essence so I wasn't worried.
"Actually, your clothes would be troublesome if I wanted to put the proper markings on you. So, be grateful I haven't beaten you... yet!" I laughed happily at the thought of what I would use this fairy for after everything was one and finished. "Be happy though. When I'm finished, and all powerful, you shall be my personal... servant." i said giving a toothy, evil grin.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!"
Darkness Pov
We arrived just in time to see Stormy entering a massive building with Bloom on her back. I wanted to rush in to save her, but I had to stick to the plan. I waited in my spot, Flora and Amaterasu with me, and waited for the signal.
Stormy left again, this time returning with the other girls on her back. My self control is very good, but I was having a hard time controlling myself, so I knew Flora was straining.
A small piece of rock near my hand began t0o shift, turning into a thumbs up sign. The signal! We rushed forward, entering the large building like cavern to see Darkar saying a few things to Bloom that unnerved me to an extreme.
"Be happy though. When I'm finished, and all powerful, you shall be my personal... servant." He said with a evil, toothy grin.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" I yelled, summoning all the strength I nhad and hurled it at him, sending him crashing against a wall. The others all appeared around him, grabbing him and pinning him to the ground.
"Dammit! I was so close! The power!" he yelled in anger, trying his best to break free. However, several god level elementals was too much power for him to overcome.
"No you weren't." I heard come from behind us. Suddenly, I felt the entire room grow alot heavier. I was slammed to the ground by an immense force pushing down on me. I managed to look up enough to see Stormy, smirking at us, and everyone, even Darkar, smashed against the ground.
"WHAT?" He yelled angrily.
"You should never have tried to use me for your experiment. Now, I'm even too powerful for all of you, and soon, I will be all powerful!" She yelled in joy. She raised her hand, and larges streams of energy shot out of Darkar and Bloom, causing them to scream in pain.
The circle she was in the center of began to glow, and then began to spin until it was moving too fast to follow. The power she was slowing draining out of Darkar and Bloom began to mold into something, very small and very perculiar. A key.
The circle stopped spinning, and lifted off the ground. It folded in the air, before slamming against the nearest wall, creating what could be loosly called a door. She moved towards it, smiling the entire time. While she approached however, she turned back towards us She walked right up to Flora, smirking darkily.
"Your little boyfriend made mebreak once. Now I'll break him." She said evily. She picked up Flora, who was struggling hopelessly against the power she had on all of us.
She walked with Flora pressed tightly against her towards the door. When she got close enough to place the key in, she turned to me smirking evilly. She turned to Flora's face, placed in the key, unlocking the door, and did the last thing anyone expected.
"Darcy always did think you were hot, so I'll take you for my mate as we both take this great evil." she opened the door, and kissed Flora deeply. The room was suddenly filled with dark energy, but I didn't care. She had pushed me too far. She had touched my love. She is going to die!
"BITCH!" I screamed, and summoned all the power of the Omnifire I could, breaking free of her spell and turning into my Enchantix form. I opened all but my vials and hurled all but the sand in them towards where Stormy had been. The sand, I left as a back up, pushing it into the ground to grind the ground into more sand for later.
All my spells, however, where shattered in a single instant as I saw Stormy Smiling at me. Only, she looked very different. She was only a silhoutte of Stormy. Pure black except for two bright white eyes and mouth. She waved her hand, smashing my spells, and breaking my hopes. She flicked her finger, and I was slammed back by an unseen force. I hit the wall behind me hard.
I saw Flora on the ground as I looked up, wiping the blood out of my eyes from the cut I had across my forehead. She was lying limp on the floor, and I could see the same pure black energy slowly consuming her starting at her feet. I had to stop it before it completely consimed her.
I looked to see if I could gain help from anyone, but they were all still crushed under the weight of her original spell, and were each disapating, returning to their original realms. They were probably trying to prepare a defense against the battle to come should I fail.
All that was left was left then was Amaterasu, who continued to try to stand, but kept falling again under the immense weight. I moved towards her, Stormy still distracted by the new abundance of power, and released her form the spell by giving her a little burst of Omnifire.
She looked at me approvingly, frowning when she saw my cut. She placed a hand where the cut was and, painfully, seared it shut. We turned to Stormy who had now taken an interest in us. I nodded to Amaterasu, and we charge her.
We managed to shock her when Amaterasu transformed into a massive wall of fire, and I was able to jump through and slam a solid kick to her chest. Unfortunetly, when I hit, she didn't even budge.
"HAHAHA! I am no longer mortal. I have twelve hearts! DO you really think a mere physical strike ccould ever harm me?" she mocked me. She grabbed my foot, throwing me across the room and into a wall again. I felt my back break from the impact. She then went to Amaterasu, who tried to burn her with all she was, but in the end was grabbed by her neck and throw to the side.
Time for my trump card. I motioned to the ground, and used most of the ton of sand I made earlier to grab Stormy. She was stunned to say the least, and I quickly tightened the sand as tight as I could.
"DIE!" I yelled, compressing the sand instantaneously. It should have destroyed her instantly. Should is the key word. Suddenly, the sand flew in every diretion before covering the floor. So crushing her was out of the question. Hitting her meant nothing. How could we... That's it.
I played like I was out of ideas as she slowly stalked towards me, smirking evilly the whole time. She picked me up by my collar, staring at me intensely with those white, yet evil eyes.
"Don't feel bad. You will have died at the hands of a god." She said as she raised her hand, probably to pierce my chest.
"Sorry, but I have other ideas. Sand of the Seamstress!" I exclaimed, placing my hands together to complete the spell. The sand all around thee room suddenly sprang to life, turning itno ling, pin thin strands of highly compressed sand. The strands pointed straight at her from every concevable direction.
"What the hell?" she exclamied as she turned to see.
"So much for being a god. Sewing sands!" I exclaimed as I intertwined my finger, signaling for the sand to strike. It moved faster than anyone could see. It shot at her, and pierce her through and through from every possible angle. I wasn't done there however. I threw my arms apart, signaling for the final part of the spell.
"Seam Destruction!" I yelled, which caused the sand that had entered her body, which was probably almost every vein, artery and organ, to then splinter outwards, effecctively shredding her body to bits. What was left could not even be recognized as a living thing, the dark power surrounding her long since faded, and the bits and pieces of skin and tissue scattered across the floor.
She was dead.
I ran towards Flora to find Amaterasy using her power to try and stop the flood of this dark energy from covering her, but it was only slowed. It had covered the whole bottom half of her body, and was now rising towards her upper half.
"I can't stop it. This power is pure evil. I just... don't know what to do." Amaterasu told me sadly.
I looked down at Flora, examining the body of my soon to be evil love.
"Wait." she stated. I turned back to Amaterasu who had stopped trying to slow the power.
"What?" I asked panickly.
"There is one way. If I can infuse her with my energy, all of my energy, she might be able to strip herself of this evil. However, I need a medium, and this will turn me mortal. I am willing to do that, but it requires her to take my place. She would have to become the Sun Goddess." she told me. So it was my choice. She becomes evil, and I'll have to kill her and lose her. Or I choose her life, and she and I are forever separated.
"Do it. Use me as the medium." I told her. She nodded, placing her hands on me, which ignited with fire to be used as thee source of power. My body was made of all elements, and thereforre could be used as a medium for almost anything. The power poured out of her into me, and straight into Flora. Her skin remain pale however, and her breathing remained weak.
After twelve minutes of pain caused by the transfer, the power was now completely inside Flora, and Amaterasu had returned to a normal human girl. She looked the same, but without any of the fire elemental features.
I looked at Flora. The energy was now all the up to her neck. I began to ccry. Cry harder than I ever thought possible. My tears began to hit the energy, and it suddenly reacted violently. I looked down to see that my tears had removed the energy where they touched. I looked at her, a little color returning, and her hair began to shift.
I realized if I could induce enough emotion in Flora, she would be able to fight it. I grabbed her face, and infused her with as much energy, my energy, one she recognized more than any other.
"Flora, please, fight. Stay strong, I can't lose you! Even if it means we are apart, as long as you are alive, I don't care!" i said through tears. Suddenly, her entire body gained a slight glow, and the black energy receded entirely. She began to float into the air, her body becoming wrapped in fire. We both stared in amazement. I had never witnessed the birth of a new Elemental goddess or god.
As the flames finally died, she came back to the ground a very different person than either of us were expecting. Her hair was now completely black, her skin pure white, and her eyes were very strange. One was black, one was white. Her aura didn't say Fire elemental. Hell, I don't even know what this was.
"I am the new Amaterasu, Goddess of the Flame and Sun. Now, however, the name shall become that of the Black Flame, and the White sun. Thank you Darkness for everything. Don't worry, we shall not be apart either. You see, I can return to my normal state as I wish, and we can make it seem like all is normal. Do not fret, we shall never be apart." she told us.
The blazing light dimmed, and she reverted back to her original form. She smiled at me, and then fainted.
"She must be very weak. The transformation is always taxing the first time. Don't worry, after a while she'll get used to it." Ama told me. That was her name before she bacme a the Flame Goddess.
We collected the others, taking them back to the realm of Magix. We informed them of everything that happened, got them clothes, and decided we had to do something about everyone else. All the lives lost in Stormy's attacks. I knew one way, but noone was going to like it, especially Flora.
"I know one way, but it has a big risk." I told them as we sat around the fire. We had set up camp, and I was glad it was a full moon tonight because this wouldn't work if I had to wait a whole month.
"How?" everyone asked in unison.
"The ultimate song. The Ballet of Life. I know you are going to tell me no, but it is the only choice." I told them as I flew into the sky holding the ocarina. Musa knew exactly what this song did. It revived the lives of anyone the player wished within the hearing range, which was the entire realm. However, even a single person would be draining. Using it to revive and restore three entire school of people would likely kill me.
I could hear Musa informing everyone what I had planned. I then heard them have to restrain Flora, who was screaming for me to stop. I had decided to do this. There was no other choice. One life for thousands. I began to play.
The song was fast and happy, designed to lighten the spirits of the dead and make them wish to return to life. It sprang between quick upbeat danceable lines to short but faster speed lines too quick for most to follow.
I could slowly feel my life force being used to replace those of the dead. In only two hours, the span of the entire song, I fell to the ground, feeling my entire body drained to near death. I, however, knew it was not the case. I had gotten lucky. Had one more person been needed to be revived, I would have died alright. I was lucky enough to have the Omnifire on my side, and would survive, but I was sure Flora would never let e hear the end of this.
