Chapter 13; Path to Celestia Revealed, Younger Brothers join the Fight
As everything was solved and fixed the goddesses and protectors return to Planeptune with some special ones, everyone had searched but there was no sign of Arfoire anywhere, but Jeff had a theory that she is up in Celestia where Rozen said he will be waiting for them. It became true when they heard Arfoire's voice echoing throughout the world telling of their destruction and the land felt like it was moving, and from what Histoire knows Arfoire is forcing all four nations to crash into each other and destroy one another. Now their plan is to head forth to Celestia and go into the basilicom and use a transport inside it but it doesn't work for some reason and Histoire looks into the problem
"So, what's the verdict? Malfunction on the equipment or something?" Neptune asks
"It looks like Celestia has denied access." Histoire explains
"Wait. That means we can't get to Celestia." Noire says
"I bet this is Arfoire's doing… she is stopping all the gates to deny access for us to stop her." Jeff says annoyed
"I noticed that you were having problems here." the basilicom staff member enters the room
"Yea It seems like it… is there a way for us to get to Celestia?" James asks
"We don't have much time." Alex says
"Well, if the gate can't be used, why not use what the Quartet used… the Rainbow Bridge." the staff member says
"Why, yes! How could I have forgotten?!" Histoire exclaims suddenly
"Um, Histy? What's this about a reindeer bridge?" Neptune ask then Jeff smacks her head "owie!"
"It's Rainbow Bridge. It must be the path the four heroes used to get to Celestia in the days of old." Jeff says
"That sounds too good to be true." Compa says
"Since the weapons are here with us, then it's possible that it is real." Isaac says
"The problem is whether it can still be used." Blanc says
"We have prepared for its activation. All we need now are the keys." he explains and holds out the Trinity Blade "I'd like to give this to the loli… No, Lady Purple Heart." Jeff walks up and the staff member hands it to him
"maybe it's time that now my Lord can truly have access for anything like our Lady does."
"Glad we can be of help once again." Jeff says giving the sword to Neptune
"The key to activate the path are the Quartet's weapons. I heard they are needed to defeat the enemy, so I had it readied for you." he tells them
"So this isn't a replica? It's the real Trinity Blade?" Neptune asks
"Though it looks a bit different than you would expect." Jeff says looking at it
"Well, it was hundred of years old, so it needed a revamp." the staff says
"Wait, you can't mean…" Histoire starts saying
"We crafted the weapon for Lady Purple Heart!" he tells them
"That's why it looks so different." IF says
"Exactly. Now that it is new, we would like our Lady to rename the weapon. A name worthy for a weapon to save our world and Gamindustri." he says and Neptune goes into deep thinking
"Well, how about, "Masterblade Neptune"!?" Neptune shouts out and everyone stared at her
"Excuse me for saying this, but I don't think that's proper…" Histoire says and the three goddesses don't feel motivated with the name also
"Well how about The Dragon Saber Blade?" Jeff says and his magic infuses into the weapon and forms magic symbols onto it "A weapon to slay dragons in one swing and destroy all evil."
"That is… genius!" Isaac says excited
"Something with a name like that just has to be destructive!" James says
"Agreed, slaying evil dragons To restore peace to a land. I like it!" Alex says and Neptune couldn't agree with it but IF and Compa agrees with the name making Neptune depressed
"So by unanimous decision, we'll call the weapon, "The Dragon Saber Blade"!" Histoire says and the group nods while Neptune just felt depressed and now they head to the ruins where the Quartet used the path they used to Celestia "This here is the ruins where the path to Celestia can be opened."
"But it's a dead end. How do we get to Celestia?" Neptune asks
"There are slots on the wall… so, the weapons need to be placed here?" IF asks looking around in the room
"Presumably. I believe they act as keys to opening the way to Celestia." Histoire explains
"Wait a sec. If the weapons are the keys, then…" IF says realising that the newly made weapons might not work
"Yes… now that they have all changed form, they won't fit." Histoire says
"Oh, no… is there another way to get there then, Histy?" Compa asks
"Sadly, no. But the ruins can function, so we just need a way to activate it." Histoire explains
"Easy, then! We just have to force them in!" Neptune says
"That's impossible!" Histoire says
"How about widening the slots so that the shapes fit?" Blanc asks
"If it were only that simple…" Jeff says in his thoughts and Alex summons Alpha the magnet warrior "starting off a bit early dude."
"Well we are going to the last area, so gotta best be prepared to battle." Alex says holding his cards and placing two down "ok that should be good."
"You gonna try summoning Slifer the Sky Dragon?" Isaac asks him
"I might… the battles we have been in are very tough, although this one may be one of the greatest battles we will ever have so it might be possible. As long as I have three creatures on the field and draw my god card." Alex explains as the girls place the weapons and Histoire chants for the center to glow and create the Rainbow bridge
"Here go, onward to Celestia!" James says excited and the guys are the first to go as Jeff is carried by Ruby and Kaylin carries Tempest and the rest of the group follows behind and make it the lands of Celestia
"Whoa! Look at this place!" Ruby says still carrying Jeff
"Right this is the boys first time in Celestia…" Noire says
"Same with Tempest and the two cats." Blanc says with the little sisters along with them
"... That smell… it's quite far, and I am guess they are waiting for our arrival now." Jeff says looking towards the biggest island he sees and could get a glimpse of two figures in the distance
"Then let's get a move on and get to them quickly!" Isaac shouts out and the whole group heads onward using teleporters to different small islands and finally get to the biggest one with both Arfoire and Rozen waiting but this time it seems that more shadow clones of the goddesses were made, though the clones have skin color without being a total shadow instead
"So you all have finally arrived. I was wondering what was taking so long for you all to get here." Rozen says with the four clones getting ready to fight "sadly to see if you fight you must get past the completed versions of these shadow clones I created from the powers she has. The others were incomplete so they were to weak at first. Now let's see you face the new ones."
"Hah, these ones are ours the girls can go after Arfoire. You are only interested in fighting us!" Jeff says and Rozen laughs slightly
"Correct so they can go by while you four stay over here." Rozen says
"Go ahead everyone, leave these fakes to us." Isaac says drawing his sword
"Beta the magnet Warrior, and next I play this to summon Gamma." Alex says with All three magnet warriors "now I combine them together to form Valkyrion the Magna Warrior!"
"I've been waiting for a fight like this." James says
"Now I'm all fired up, let's do this!" Jeff yells out And and charges at the shadow Purple Heart and dodges the sword to kick her away from the other three shadows as they charge at the other protectors James catching the blade and punching shadow Black Heart away as Alex's Valkyrion clashes with shadow White Heart and Isaac uses some sword skills to get the advantage on shadow Green Heart
"It's quite impressive that all of you are withstanding the strength against my shadows… but, that won't last much longer." Rozen says as the shadows are getting more enhanced and getting the upper hand suddenly and Jeff is smashed to the ground "As I said… you won't survive… finish him." shadow Purple Heart flies down at him
"Jeff!" everyone shouts in shock until
"Ice-make… shield!" suddenly a large wall of ice appear blocking the shadow's attack
"What in the?!" Rozen couldn't believe what he saw happen. The ice shatters and they could see a young man with black hair having ice blue trims, blue eyes, has no shirt but has the same mark like Jeff's new one on the right chest peck, wears black pants, a purple belt with a chain connected by the belt loops, and wears black shoes "who in the hell are you?!" everyone sees him and on his left hand he has a black gauntlet on
"I'm someone who is backup, not only here for that but I will be here for being a brother." the young man says and turns to Jeff on the ground
"stand up, we got a battle to win." the shadow of Black Heart was gonna charge in when suddenly she is blocking gunshots coming from behind James seeing a boy with same hair and eye color as him, wears a black leather jacket with silver trims only covers top part and open, no shirt, Black fingerless gloves, Black shorts with a silver belt two black pistol holders which holds his pistols, and silver and black boots
"The Gunslinger is here to fight!" he shouts out while Alex's Valkyrion is trying it's best again the shadow White Heart
"In the deepest part of the world, evil will strike. When there is evil, there is always a hero. But what is this?" a voice of a male speaks and suddenly a spotlight shines showing a H symbol "why it's… a Hero Signal! And thanks to this I am allowed to summon this, Elemental HERO Burstinatrix!" they see a boy coming towards them having the hair and eye color as Alex, wearing white and sky blue tank top, blue jacket hanging over his shoulders, sky blue pants, and white boots, and a woman in red appears with fire in her hands "but I am not done yet! Next I play Polymerization, to fuse her and Avian so I can fusion summon Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!" a warrior in green appears and combines with the woman in red and combines into another warrior in both red and green "Now let's spice things up by playing Skyscraper!" he inserts a card into the field slot of his duel disk and suddenly buildings start rising out of the ground
"What the? Celestia is a sacred place! Why would you place buildings around here?!" Histoire asks the young boy
"Because I'm here to help a brother out. And thanks to Skyscraper my Hero gains 1000 attack points. Now join the fight with my brother's Valkyrion!" the young boy commands and his Warrior flies next to the Magna warrior
"Well this is an interesting turn of events." Isaac says while the shadow clone of Green Heart charges at him when suddenly small tornados make a barrier blocking the attack and Isaac turns to a boy with a baton and conducting the winds. He has blonde hair, green eyes, who wears a Green tunic, white under shirt, white pants, Brown boots, and a green pointy hat
"The winds blow to show evil has risen, I won't allow them to succeed in their goals!" he says putting his baton away and drawing out his sword and shield "now the winds will guide us to victory!" the youngboy charges towards Green Heart's shadow clone which it flies at him and he jumps over striking her back
"Now that isn't something you really don't see everyday." Jeff says
"Well anyway it's time we show these fools what we can really do." the boy next to Jeff says as he stands
"Just who are you anyway?" Jeff asks
"I'm one of the new protectors born from the large shares, though it took time for us to arrive. We were assisted by this girl and got here as soon as we could. My name is Adam, I am an Ice-maker. And especially Jeff's new brother." he says
"I'm Noble, a gunslinger and the shares were enhanced by the Saints serum giving me the same powers my brother has." the second boy says
"I'm Seth, a Hero Duelist. Plus many other kinds of cards to play! Especially this, I use De-fusion to split my monster back into the two Infused with before and then use their power to summon one of my favorites. Neo-Space has a brand new HERO, and his name is Elemental HERO Neos!" his fused monster splits to the two previous ones and then glow and go into the ground opening a portal and a being in white flies high into the sky
"I'm Mark, the Waker of the Winds, and it will be our guide to victory!" the last one says
"Four more protectors?! This day just keeps getting worse." Arfoire says blocking attacks from the four goddesses and the newborn sisters
"Well then I will split my magna warrior into the three magnet warriors and use two of them to summon my spellcaster. Dark Magician! Now I play this, magical dimension. As long as I have a spellcaster on my field I can use my last magnet Warrior and summon Dark Magician Girl!" Alex says out loud getting his two magicians
"it's not gonna be easy to fight these clones." James says dodging shadow Black Heart's attacks
"Then let us do a Unison attack." Adam says "we may have opposite elements, but we can do this."
"Alright then, let's do this." Jeff says link their arms
"Unison attack, Heat Freeze burst!" both of them say together and a large amount of fire and ice launch and pierce through the first shadow clone and it bursts in cubes
"Alright here goes ice blast!" James freezes the clone and Noble uses a shotgun and shoots breaking the clone in pieces
"Now my magicians, double Dark Magic Attack!" Alex shouts out
"Neos go! Cosmic Crush!" Seth commands his Warrior and the two attacks make contact with the clone and bursts in cubes
"Let our blades slice this fake to pieces!" Mark says and both he and Isaac charge and strike the clone and it bursts into cubes
"And now all your clones are gone!" Jeff shouts out
"Hmm, so it seems… you may have destroyed those. But now the real battle begins!" Rozen explains and has his cape fall off "now that throws some weight off… let us begin." suddenly a strange force pushes the younger brothers away and putting Rozen and the four inside a dark sphere
"What have you done Rozen?!" Jeff shouts at him in anger
"Relax, your new brothers are safe, or so they think. I guess it was smart to summon some back up soldiers in case something else happens!" Rozen says with a dark aura around him
"How dare you, I was just excited to have someone other than Vert to be with!" Isaac says
"Heh, it only depends if they can face against my most elite warriors. Some of you already met one of them, he use to have that God card!" Rozen says and the guys were shocks
"So that guy is helping out? Didn't think we see him again." Jeff says
"Hehehe, he is different now. Before my current project I created an Element that seemed alive and enhanced 4 of my soldiers with it." Rozen says
Outside the Dark Sphere the four new brothers get up and wonder what is happening
"That guy created some weird orb, our brothers need backup." Noble says and run towards it
"Wait stop!" Adam shouts and when Noble gets contact with it he gets hurt and knocks him back
"Gah! What the heck is that thing?" Noble asks shocked
"Master Rozen is separating you with those four for himself in the shadows." a male voice is heard behind them and they look to see four guys with armor pieces on their arms, feet, waist, hands, and shoulders
"Who are you guys?" Seth asks
"We are the new Elite Phazon Unit. Master Rozen enhanced us with a new power." one of them says and their armor pieces start powering up and pure energy comes out and have four different aura colors
"Our armor enhances us to use element power, each one different. Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth." one of them says and suddenly the area changes for each of them.
"Welcome to my realm, I am Blitz the Flame. I have the power over fire." the first one says with Adam in his realm
"I am Aquos the Wave. I have the ability to move and freeze water." the second says with Noble in his realm
"I am Ventus the Tornado. I control the winds of the Land." the third says with Seth in his realm
"I am Rocko the Heavy. I make the earth quake in my command!" the last one say with Mark in his realm
"Your friends are trapped in the other realms, defeat us and you escape. But don't think I'll let you win this." all of them say at the same time with Adam in a realm with a Volcano, Noble in a realm with the sea and standing on platforms, Seth in a realm in the skies and floating platforms, and Mark in a realm with mountains
"I'll get out of here, just you wait!" Adam says and his opponent laughed
"We'll just see about that won't we?" suddenly he zoomed and punches Adam sending him a far distance away "I know your power is ice, so you are basically at a huge disadvantage."
"Let's see, Ice-Make: Lance!" Adam launches a large amount of ice spears though the enemy uses fire to melt the attack "no way…"
"As you see I can break all your attacks before they can reach me." Blitz says "and the flames from the volcano give me the advantage here!"
In the sea realm Noble is jumping to different platforms dodging the strong waves trying to not get into the water and trying to shoot at his enemy though it's blocked by frozen water
"Hahaha! It's no use against my power to control the waves." Aquos says and forces a large wave coming and splash over and pulls Noble down and gets outs spitting water out his mouth "try as you might but I will take you down as my other team will do the same with the rest of them
In the skies Seth is standing on a platform facing towards his enemy
"Let's make this simple, you can summon those heroes and I'll attack with my wind gusts just standing here." Ventus says
"Alright I draw!" Seth looks through his cards "I summon Bubbleman to the field." he summons a warrior in blue "and check this, whenever he is summoned to the field I draw 2 more cards. And I'll start with Polymerization! So I fuse Bubbleman with Avian and Sparkman, so I can bring out the one and only Elemental HERO Tempest!"
"Impressive, that is one tough fighter. But he won't be around much long when my winds blow him away." Ventus says and a large tornado blows in and destroys Seth's hero and causing pain to him "aw something wrong? Need a rest?"
"Not a chance, I'm not going down that easy." Seth says drawing his card "easy for me to say, but what can I do against his winds to win this?"
In the mountain realm Mark is dodging thrown boulders from his opponent, though with only a Sword and shield he doesn't get time to get out his bow and take aim
"Roll roll down the hill, you can't get to me by my power. I will crush you!" Rocko says continuing throwing boulders down to keep Mark away
Inside the shadow orb the four were ready to fight against Rozen
"Seems those new born brothers are struggling against my elite force. I expected they put up more of a fight." Rozen says and Jeff charges throwing his fist and Rozen catches the punch and blocks the kick from James though gets hit from Alex's magicians and struck from Isaac
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Jeff punches Rozen in the face into the wall of the Dark Sphere they are inside and bursts some dark electrical shock
"Heh even so you manage to do something against me, your brothers won't survive." Rozen says with a grin
"You're wrong, even though they were only just born from shares. We believe they will prevail and beat your elite." Alex says and plays a ritual sending his Valkyrion and bringing a new ritual spellcaster out "now I have three magicians, and now for a triple dark magic attack!"
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Jeff blows a large amount of Fire as James sends multiple fireballs and Isaac launches 3 bomb arrows and creates a large explosion
In the other realms the four brothers were almost at their knees against their enemies
"Face it, you tried every ice attack on me and could not reach." Blitz says looking at Adam on his knees
"I am not, going to lose… Ice-make…" he starts his stance
"Seriously you have nothing to use against me." Blitz says but Adam smirks
"Floor!" he places his hands on the ground and everything freezes including the lava suddenly "you say this place gives you an advantage, that was when it hit me. The land around us is giving the strength, so since I froze everything… it turns things around. Ice-make: Hammer!"he creates a large hammer and swings it down though Blitz tries to melt it he barely made a flame come out and smashes making him fly back "Ice-make: cannon!" making multiple cannons it fires rocks breaking the armor pieces
In the sea realm Noble has been jumping platform to platform and noticed something odd where his opponent moved the Wave over the one when landing on platforms and start jumping high and strike one of the platforms making a heavy wave making his enemy lose balance and he does it again and charge up a lightning buff and shoot plasma blasts electrifying Aquos and putting him unconscious
"Damn, I am done with the water… I just hope the others are ok…" Noble says
In the skies Seth has been brought to a corner with only his Air hummingbird on the field
"Face it, now you can't take me out." Ventus says grinning
"It's not over until the last card is played! I draw!" Seth shouts "I play pot of greed! Getting 2 cards from my deck." he looks at his decision for what to play "I play Monster Reborn so I can bring out my HERO Neos. But I am not done yet now you two contact fusion! With my Air hummingbird and Neos, I can form Elemental HERO Air Neos!" his bird and Neos fly high into the sky and combine together "its not over yet, I play Neo Space! This field changes everything, now that we aren't in the skies you are completely defenceless. And now with this my new fusion of Neos is staying on the field, and now you are finished. Attack Neos and end this!" his fusion warrior jumps and punches the opponent and breaks the armor pieces
"Noooo! Master Rozen!" Ventus says and suddenly disappears
In the mountain area Mark had remembered a little trinket he was given and told that it only had a certain amount of uses before it is gone, so now he uses it and freezes time and jumps onto the floating rocks and downward strikes his opponent ending the last of the four elite soilders
"No, master Rozen gave us a power up… how could we lose…" Rocko says and falls down for the count
Back with the older brothers each of them have gone at their best and damaged Rozen with Jeff landing his fist on the chestplate and making a crack in it. Doing so the Dark Sphere vanishes and shows that the brothers are alright, and the girls having Arfoire to her knees
"Augh… I… I am a God… Gamindustri... is my… dominion… wh… why did I lose…? Why…? To these… goddesses… humans…" she says weakly and barely able to stand straight
"Arfoire. Your ambition ends here." Histoire says
"This is over Rozen, we beat you and our brothers beat your elite men. So now it's time you get going and never returned." Jeff says though Rozen was laughing
"Well, to be honest… you guys are the very first to ever coming close to break my armor… the last guy barely even made a dent… but you guys are ones unlike I ever fought, and to think I ever get a chance to fight someone to my level of power!" he exclaims and suddenly he recovers his strength
"No way?! Even though we used everything he recovered so soon?!" Isaac asks in shock
"Yes, the shadows that cover the people in fear and darkness forms as my strength that is why no one has ever beaten me ever." he explains and a dark aura surrounds him "but perhaps I have gone to easy, I have never used this form in a long time. So be glad that I will be at my most greatest form! Haaaaaaa!" a large burst of energy is spread and suddenly his figure starts changing in front of them as Arfoire starts changing also "witness your Demise! And I mean it quite literally!" the voice from Rozen changes to a deep and dark sound
And that ends the chapter, so now only one chapter left to finally finish this story. I really am glad this is doing much better than what I previously did. Now that I got a better story set now, though there are a few secrets that will be revealed later. Now I hope you enjoyed all that has happened, and this story. So thanks for reading this far and see you in the final chapter, Brawl On
Edit; so I know I have small screen time for the brothers and honestly I know, but I am just not very good with fight scenes so I sometimes try my best as much. I will make sure to do better if possible for the next story
