Hey, bringing you the Finale of Love and Death. This is it, hope you enjoy, I cant really sum up directly what happens here, so just read it for yourself.
Disclaimer: I don't own frozen, Skyrim, or Dragon Age.
The sight was horrid. All of Gareth's men were hung by the dead trees that served as an archway to the entrance of the Valley. There was a message cut into the torso of one of the men, daring anyone to come into the Valley. No one knew what to do, before Vani swallowed a large lump in her throat and moved to the front of the group, Melanie was at her side.
"Everyone!" Vani called. Gaining the groups attention. She put on a brave face, everything they have been fighting for could be ended here. Everything could be pointless, would be pointless if they failed here. The rest of the living population was counting on them to succeed here.
"I know that we've been asking a lot from you guys. Especially those of you with the six original spirit powers. But today everything we have been fighting for will come to fruition." Vani told them, making sure to put on her best regal, and authorative voice.
"Let me tell you, this isn't about hope. Or Love, or being a hero. Or even about winning. Those things died when the Black Blood Order toppled the Kingdom. This is about Will. This is about saying I don't give a shit how many times you knock me down, as long as I'm still breathing I'm gonna get right back up, and you know what, I'm gonna knock you the fuck out bitch. It's time we take back the fucking world, let's get this shit started!" Vani yelled, earning cheers from the group, and appreciative slap on the ass from Melanie. Vani blushed.
"Damn Love, that was hot." Melanie told her, Vani smiled at her. They began marching into the Valley.
"Didn't know I had it in me." Vani muttered, Melanie smiled at her, and kissed her, before she pulled her two daggers from their holders, Vani pulled Bianca from its sheath. Everyone else readied their weapons. They approached the center of the Valley to see Angelo waiting for them, with an army of Bloodlings at his back.
"Rather than launch into a speech about how I'll kill all of you, I'd rather we just skip the formalities." He said, before summoning a large claymore sword, and charging at the group, the Bloodlings followed behind him, weapons drawn, Vani and Melanie nodded to the six with the original spirit powers.
"Now!" Melanie yelled, before she and Vani ducked. The spirit users had been pooling their energies into a common source, they were going to summon an Old God. The portal started to open, and a large serpent like creature came out of it. He was chained, and covered in black fur, with glowing golden eyes. Karma held a chain in her hand, she had to control this Old God because it was in the Light Spirit side of things.
"Biaguei!" Karma yelled, trying to sustain the Beast's power. If the group stopped focusing for one second or were interrupted, Biaguei would rip apart Karma's soul and devour all of their spirit energies. "Devour!" She ordered the god, moving the chain like she was swinging a sword. Biaguei roared, shaking the Valley, causing several large rocks to fall from the sides of the Valley, and crush some Bloodlings.
"Insolent fools!" Angelo yelled, charging directly at Karma, readying his sword, he was cut off by Vani and Melanie. Gareth was fighting several Bloodlings, Cardina was firing arrows at them. She had taken Alice's bow, who was being protected by Leo, and Lani. Serana and Varric were back to back. Fighting Bloodlings, Serana was using her powerful magic skills to kill Bloodlings.
Biaguei charged at the army of Bloodlings, opening its gaping maw to devour them all, he only kept this up for a few rounds, until he faded away, because the spirit users ran out of energy at the time. No one died, no one's spirit was ripped away from them… Yet.
They all began fighting the Bloodlings, Karma stayed close to Vani and Melanie, defending them, and West fought with them. Bondeshire stayed close to Cardina, protecting her from any foes. Coincidence fought next to Frea against the Bloodlings. Terra and Claire stayed together. Ennius and Jasmine fought Bloodlings together. Konstantinos did not seek out opponents, he merely let them come to him.
A Bloodling charged at Vani, roaring in an un-natural way, Vani clinched her teeth as she dodged its blade, and stabbed it in its throat, moving her hand to cut its throat, and stab another Bloodling in the temple.
Melanie had two Bloodlings charge at her, they each swung at her. One aimed at her head, another aimed at her feet. She jumped, managing to move in-between their blades, before she righted herself, and used some Lightning spirit to fry them.
Karma hadn't stopped moving since she began fighting, she had seemingly never ending energy. She had already killed about thirty Bloodlings with her sword. She also had been making sure that Vani and Melanie were not surrounded by too many Bloodlings.
Karma drove her blade through a Bloodlings chest, before kicking it off of her blade and spinning around, decapitating anther Bloodling. She ended up jamming her sword through a Bloodlings throat. She kicked it in the chest, and her blade ripped through the front of its throat. She didn't quite cut its head off like the previous Bloodling, but close.
West had been using her powers of compulsion to keep herself from being overwhelmed by Bloodlings, and killing as many as she could, she would have made Selene proud at her fighting skill.
West drove her blade into a Bloodling's skull, she let go of her blade as a Bloodling's sword came down where her head was a few seconds ago. She grabbed its arm, and forced its own sword through its head, before shoving it away, and bringing her hand to each side of another Bloodling's head, using her power to crush its skull.
She jumped over a Bloodling she had recently killed, and ripped her blade from its skull, before landing, and rolling, jamming her blade into a Bloodling's knee, it fell, and she stabbed it in the skull, before she stood up and fought some more.
Bondeshire was defending Cardina from getting surrounded by too many Bloodlings, he cut its stomach open, before grabbing it, and shoving it into another Bloodling, by the time the Bloodling recovered, Bondeshire was there, with a swift kick to the head. He ended up crushing its skull with his boot. Bondeshire grabbed another Bloodling by the throat, and crushing it.
Coincidence and Frea were back to back, they looked back at each other and nodded, moving their bodies around in a circle, killing Bloodlings in the process. Before Coincidence leaped into the air, and used some Ice spirit to freeze a group of Bloodlings, Frea ran and shattered them all.
Gareth was fighting Angelo, they were matched in skill, and both of them were fighting to kill. Neither was holding back. Angelo had killed all of Gareth's men, and Gareth had led all the idiots to the tree. They would ruin his plan. He just needed to make sure he could get to Karma, Coincidence, and Vani. Those three were crucial to his plan.
Well, their weapons were crucial to his plan. If he could get Redeemer away from Karma, and shatter it using Bianca. He could destroy the tree of life with Eliminator. His plan had to succeed, he could not be beaten by these insolent children.
Gareth swung at Angelo's head, only for him to duck, and kick him in the chest. Gareth fell to the ground, and Angelo stood over him, planting his foot on his hand that was grasping his sword. Angelo raised his blade high into the air, glaring at Gareth with a hatred so intense that it could scorch the world.
"Die!" Angelo yelled as he swung his blade down, an arrow hit it mid swing, knocking it off course slightly, it embedded itself in the ground, barely missing Gareth's head, he looked around to see Cardina watching intently, Gareth used his free hand to trip Angelo. Gareth tried to get up, only to have Angelo's foot connect with the side of his face.
Overall, the group's progress was slim, for every Bloodling they killed, three more took its place, their situation looked bleak, and their chances of survival were minimal. But things are never left to chance…
"Rain, we should go back, make sure they are okay." Adam suggested, his leader glared at him, with her one good eye.
"They don't need to be coddled, they can face the Black Blood Order themselves." Rain told him, authority in her voice, he glared at her.
"You guys lost, and you had experienced warriors, and trained soldiers fighting with you." Adam reminded her, she stopped, and thought for a moment.
"I suppose you are right, but it would be foolish to approach the Battlefield from a normal angle." Rain said, thinking up a plan.
"What do you have in mind Ma'am?" He asked, she smiled at him.
"Something big." Rain muttered, staring off into the distance, noticing an armored warrior, and a smaller figure in a cloak next to them. They were walking towards the Valley of Life. "Let's go." Rain called to her group, before walking towards the Valley.
Love & Death
There was once a time when my life was simpler. Before all of this happened, before The Black Blood Order stole my life from me. The only bright part in any of this was Melanie. She was my anchor to the world. She was the source of my happiness. I loved her, and I was willing to die for her if need be, I know she would do the same. And I know that our chances of saving the world is slim to none, but I don't care. I'm proud to be trying to change something.
No one before us has tried this, and to think that in one second our entire plan can come crashing down, one little movement could condemn the world for eternity. But despite all of that, I still wonder one thing. Why were those bandits after Bianca? No one knew I had it, except the Black Blood Order, maybe they were working together? Or maybe they split from the group long ago.
Bianca was a blade known for her killing intent. The Assassin, Vani who gave it to me used to guard my Grandparents. She's the one I'm named after, and I feel like there's more to all of this, like this can't be the end, there has to be something else. I mean, to save the world like this would be easy, it seems like it should be more complicated than that.
When I think about it, Karma, Coincidence, and I have something in common. Each of us were bestowed a weapon by Zack, Elsa, or Vani. Zack gave Redeemer to Karma, Elsa gave Eliminator to Coincidence, and Vani gave Bianca to me. They had to mean something, the one thing I've learned in all my time her is that destiny is never left to chance, Zack, Elsa, and Vani knew something we didn't. They knew we would need these weapons.
The question is, why did we need these weapons, and why did those men want Bianca? Maybe it was important, blessed by the divine, or the Maker, or God, or whatever. The truth I later found out was much, much worse…
Love & Death
"I can't keep this up!" Melanie yelled, after killing two more Bloodlings, her back was pressed against Vani's. The group was driven to the point of exhaustion, there was no end to them at all. They were about to give up, but luckily no one had died yet.
Yet, that was the key word. No one could have predicted that their entire operation would fall apart, and relationships would be shattered by the end of the day. No one was ready for it. They weren't ready for the reinforcements to arrive, and they weren't ready to lose people close to them.
The exact moment the group fell apart was over in a quick couple of seconds, one false move, one misstep, and everything would change. A battle for survival would turn into a slaughter. It came when Angelo the Leader of the Black Blood Order drove his blade into Gareth's heart.
Karma screamed, and ran towards him, forgetting all about protecting Vani and Melanie, Vani ran after her, not noticing a Bloodling swinging at her head, Melanie screamed, and went to go after her, but West prevented her from doing so by grabbing the back of her collar, and yanking her back, they watched as Vani was decapitated, and Karma was sliced clean in two by Angelo.
The group was defeated, they had failed. They were dead, all of them died that day in the Valley. No one saved them, there was no cavalry. Things had spiraled out of control, and all was lost. Angelo cried out, holding the former Princesses head up in the air, before he drove Eliminator into the trunk of the Tree of Life, and a burning light filled the world…
So... yeah. Don't kill me. Kinda like I just killed everyone off huh! Too soon..? Well, you'll live, they wont. Or maybe they will. I will say that there is a part two to this story. But, I will be taking some time to construct the storyline, so it may be at least a month or so, before I actually post it. I will try to keep you entertained with the side stories about Meanie, and Vani, and the Fall of Arendelle. Bye, and sorry.
