Chapter 21
The End is Nigh (Part 1)

Looking out the window. Green, lush land stretches all the way to the horizon. Gentle ray of warm light are shining on the land and her face as well. It is warm as Lamia commented to herself. Unlike the moment with all the blazing heat burning in her hometown. The decision she will never forget and be forgiving by anyone.

"Xiao…Su Min…Enya…So you are finally free…" Lamia lament over them. Streak of tears roll down to her cheek. Before wiping them gently. "What am I doing really…will you forgive me after all this time…?"

Somewhere in the Orient Country…

"Hmm…" Enya open her eyes slowly. Still sitting on a porch of the orient looking house, she scans the area in front of her with her eyes. Looking left and right before letting out a sigh. "There are little guards now watching me."

She grabs her witch hat, before stepping out to the open. Suddenly, an arrow came whistling from her side and landed just an inch of her feet. Enya did not move or panicky over it. But rather looking at the direction of where the shot came from before looking to the front.

"Hmm…Something is happening at the capital…This overwhelming magic aura coming from there…So they are here already? Princess Sakura…"

Enya takes a long, inhale of air. Then, she held her arm to her side and a wooden broom went flying right to her hand. She grabs it and positions it horizontal to the ground and mounts on it. More arrows fly on her, knowing that the assailant cannot let her escape from her confinement area, Enya, easily swipe her arm to her front and boom! Lightning pillars shower down from the sky as it burn and destroy the arrows. When that did not work, several armoured soldiers came out from their hiding spot and came charging at her with their swords. Enya have no time to entertain them and deal them fast and effective.

"Raijin Shot…" She clicks her fingers. One by one, the soldier drop to the ground. Strangely got paralyze suddenly. "The air is filled with them when I execute that previous spell. To make matter great for me, you all wearing metal so it amplify. To think you can confine me? Not in a hundred years! Now stay down and grovel there like a dog!"

Enya take off from the ground and fly to the direction of the capital. It is not that far as she thought it will be. Her face was surprise and it is true. True about something is happening in the capital. An all our battle is occurring in the city. Blazing fire, arrows flying, magical attack blasting the city like there is no tomorrow. Scanning the city of where the princess might be at. She felt a lot of movement coming from the east of the city. Heading toward of them. While slowly descending to the ground. Then, few arrows went flying to her direction. But it was losing momentum as it started to fall down to the sky. Ignoring the attack coming from the ground, she glides down like a bird preying on its prey to the direction of where she felt the movement. Landed smoothly to the ground, she peeks at the corner of the building and there she saw a lot of witches gathering just a few meters away from her.

"Hmm…"B" rank witches…I can take care of them easily but finding the princess is a top priority…Oh?"

Enya spotted a couple of witches among the crowd. "A" rank witches leading them. It will be messy if she were to engage them now. It is time to be sneaky instead. Following the witches from behind, hiding her magic aura and presence from them. They arrive at a certain location. A royal palace and this must be where Sakura is.

"Kill those witches! Burn them!" Someone yelled from somewhere.

"Ambush!" The witches cried before going to their defensive position.

"Ahhh…Prefect…My luck is on my side today." Enya use this opportunity to sneak pass them with all the battle occurring at their position.

Once inside, there were a lot of bodies form both side. Dead by battle with all the magic, arrows and swords wound. Enya knew they have been here beforehand. The survival one is probably already heading deep into the palace already. Then she heard moaning coming at her side. She looks down and saw a moaning, dying young witch begging to save her.

"Please help…me…it hurts…please…" The witch moan in pain. Held her frail hand at Enya.

Enya face was not concern at all. Giving her normal, emotionless expression at the young witch. Eventually, she let her up and brings to lay her frail body to the wall. It is hopeless; her wound is beyond being saved. If only a healer is here, there might be a chance she might live.

"Where are the others?" Enya asks her.

"They…are heading…the chamber…room…the royal…family…" Her voice begins to get frail. She is losing a lot for blood and going out cold soon. Enya rest her forehead onto hers. Looking at her with her reassuring face everything is fine.

"You have done a good job. Everyone will be proud of you. You don't have to suffer anymore. Just let it go my little one." The girl let out her wearily smiles before tears drop to her cheek.

"Sniff…Mama…I miss you…I…love you…mama…mama…" Her voice gradually lower until she went dead silence after that. Smiling away before her last breath.

She is gone. Gone to the world in the other side. Enya kisses her forehead before whispering to her. "Be at peace little one." Kissing her forehead once again before heading to this chamber room she mentioned. That woman, she despise above all, will pay for this.

Enya does not have to use her search magic. Only by following the piles of corpses along the corridor of the palace. Turning every corner to see this bloody massacre done by the witch side mostly. At some point, she felt like as if she is being watch. From someone or something that she cannot be sure. Lingering on that thought eventually came to stop when she heard a voice of a man begging for mercy. The next thing she heard is blood gushing and the choking voice of blood in the throat. Peeking at the corner, a couple of witches are standing guard duty outside a room. One of them is holding up the body of a man with his throat being slit open. His blood is flowing down like flowing water.

"I want to see the royal family being torture inside. But I guess I can entertain myself from this fool."

"You are one sadistic girl you know that. Stop it already." The other witch shows a sign she does not enjoy this.

"Are you nuts? This is for our sisters for dying by their hands. Besides, we have been waiting to destroy them for a very long time already. Enjoy this moment while we can."

Enya watch silently. Disgusted by the fact what the witches she once knew have turn into this. Unlike when she was in during the days of their prime. Enya steps out from her hiding stop. Silently walking up to them. But that is not her attention to catch them off guard since they already felt her presence.

"Hmm? Who are you?" The sadistic witch asks. "What are you doing here? Which unit are you from?"

"Forgive me but I'm under the 29th Witch Magic Reconnaissance Unit. I'm here to deliver a message to your commanding witch in charge."

"The 29th Recon Unit? I think I have heard of that but they…"

"What message?!" The one that kill the man ask rudely. "Who…is your commander in-charge first thing first?

Enya went silence for a moment. Looking down to the floor before looking up at them. Staring with her serious, angry looking eyes. She then finally let out the words. "The treacherous witch that betrayed me and my unit. My family and friends kill by your so call commander…Rosie Campbell."

"What!? Who the hell are you!?" But it was too late, Enya already in front of her, sending a huge electric discharge onto her body. Falling to the ground from the shock. Paralyze while at the same time feeling the agony of pain Enya ever let it out on anyone.

"Argh…I can't…ah…please stop the…argh…please…" The girl went drooling and trembling in pain.

"Pathetic…what is the use when you can't counter or let alone defence herself from magic attack. You." Enya turn her attention to the other one. Which she already trembling in fear.

"Please forgive me Lady Enya Ashburn ma'am! I know who you are! Our commander is inside! Please spare me milady! I…I…" Her fear is enough to make Enya laugh at. Enya let out a small smile at her instead.

"Stop your mumbling." She points her finger at her. "You should be honour that I spare your life. Now, rest."

The next moment, the trembling witch drop flat to the ground, out cold from the voltage sent to her head. Hopefully it is not too much to hurt her but enough to pass her out for some time. Enya place her hand to the door, she felt a dozen of presence gathering inside. At the other side of the chamber, there are four people. Two are dead, presuming they are foot soldiers, one is wounded and the other one is small looking in size.

"Princess Sakura…" Enya hands emit a discharge of electricity. Before blasting the door. "Knock knock. Enya Ashburn is here. I came just in time I guess?"

"What!? Who goes there?!" One of the witches desperately trying to catch at the glimpse of this person.

"Stay calm! Protect Lady Rosie at all cost! Hold your ground from their attack!" The other one shouted.

The debris and smoke eventually swept away by the wind. There, Enya is standing proudly in front of these witches. Just her luck indeed, they all are "A" rank ranking witches but except one. The commander herself. The double "S" rank witch, Rosie Campbell.

"Enya?!" Princess Sakura was surprise but went concern next. "What are you doing here?! They are powerful witches! Please run away!"

"You idiot. After I came all the way here? Not a chance. I'm going to rescue you princess." Enya walk up to the witches. "It's been a long time Rosie."

"Oh! Enya!? Is that you! What a surprise! I knew you would be in this country! My plan is right on course!"

"You bet I am! Unless you are near blindness right when you are born. How's your promotion going bitch?" Enya grin at her.

"Hmm? I see you have recovered. Impressive as always of you…Hehehe…" She laughs sweetly to herself. "It was great holding the title of Commander. But…are you now crawling back to me and begging for mercy now? Or to join me as my subordinate or perhaps…you came here for…vengeance?"

"None of the above. I prefer to make you mine instead. Ground you to the ground. Stepping your face. Whipping you inhumanly like a pig you are. Oh…I have so many ideas to do on you."

"Sadistic aren't you? Don't you think?"

"You bet I am now bitch." Enya, despise begin overly begin rude, speak normally to her. Same goes to Rosie. Hiding her true nature of what she really is. A sadistic bitch.

"What!?" Cried some of the witches around Rosie. "How dare you insult Lady Rosie you insolent fool!"

"We will make sure you take those words back to your grave after well rip you apart!"

"Ahh…" Enya scratches her head. "What a stupid bunch of rookie. So easily being use by that bitch…"

"Sakura…" A middle aged man said in his wearily voice. "Who is that girl…she's…different from the others…"

"Father…She…our allied. Our saviour…" Sakura said, putting pressure on his wound. It is not that serious but he will die from the loss of blood eventually. But to save both of them now? It is not an easy task now if Sakura were to ask Enya.

"I see…Go with her then…Run away from here…until you are ready…come back and rebuild this empire like I said about just now…Be strong now…"

"Hahaha! You are pathetic and worthless emperor. Giving hope to this girl? I ought to crush her hope and she rebuilding this empire? I rather drown it with blood and fire and reclaim this land as ours."

"Rosie!" Enya shouted at her. "You are here for me now. Let's settle this where we last stop."

"Ha!" She gives her stern, annoying look at her. "For a coward to say that? Running away in the middle of the match? Fine then, I shall entertain you. With my ladies first!"

She commands her witches to attack Enya. Whosoever brings her head to Rosie, she will receive a grand reward from Rosie herself. Enya stands where she is. Knowing that she will not play fair and square in the first place. She let out a sigh. Disappoint at these witches so easily use by her. Her scheming and all.

"Die! This is for Lady Rosie!" One of the witches valiantly charge at Enya with her conjure, fire blades. While some others chant their magic and hurl a couple of mid-level spell at her.

"Kaminari Shoheki…" Enya lazily swipe her arm forwards. Casting numerous electrical, energy shields around her.

Different kind of explosion explodes as it forcibly blast on her shield. Then, in that moment, that same witch wielding the blazing sword came right at Enya head. This was her chance. Slash! She hit the ground instead. Just what was that? Looking up, Enya were besides her. Staring down at this shocking, crouching witch, thinking how Enya easily dodge that? Which she attack her blind spot.

"You are so naïve indeed. Go back and train more before fighting me girl." Enya smiles. Before deliver an electrical discharge knee bash on her pretty face.

Flew a distance away before knocking out from that. This provokes the other witches more. Relentlessly giving their various tactics to take Enya down. She yawns even in the middle of fight. Commenting while at it they are boring and to call them an "A" rank witch? What a joke indeed.

"Wow…Enya is so powerful…We can win father!" Sakura happily cried with joy.

"Huff…huff…what is she? We can't lay a hand on her!" One of them cried, feeling the hopelessness in them.

"We can even take down the equivalent rank like Lady Rosie. Don't tell me she is way beyond her?"

"Quit shaking on your boot and wet yourself now girls." Enya boastfully said that. "I'm just…well…above that annoying bitch rank that's all. A quadruple "S" rank. Nothing fancy about that right?"

"What!?" The witches were taken in absolute shock. "Only the elder witch of our organization can hold that rank! We were fighting someone insanely powerful all this time!? This is hopeless! We can't beat her!"

"Oh how laughable seeing the despair and fear of these kids Rosie. I'm still strong nonetheless after your scheming and foul play back then."

"Tsk…" Rosie clicks her tongue. "Even they can't hope to match her. Should have poisoned her more than the usual dose back then…"

"Oh yeah. About you poisoning me and getting me into an amnesia state. It pains me but I resisted over the poison. I also eventually remember the next thing I woke up. Lucky if you would say."

"Eh…Enya…but I thought…You mean…" Sakura said in confusion.

"I'm sorry princess but I don't wish to be thrown into the prison. Pretended the fact I do not remember a thing. They opt for a constant watch over me instead. Where you can visit me. Me seeing your smiles and all those enjoyment moments we go through."

"But still why would you…!"

"Because I wish to protect someone when I cannot a long time ago. I don't want to lose you Sakura. I knew this would happen. War that will bring to this land. So that's why I…want something to at least protect and not losing something from it. But…if only I could've come sooner…I'm sorry…"

"I see…I'm sorry I misjudge you suddenly…" Sakura said but Enya shakes her head, telling her it is alright.

"Now, I can go all out on you. Entertain me now bitch."

"Ah crap! Protect Lady Rosie now!" One of them yelled. But Enya already right in front of Rosie. Readying her electric fist she has been charging since the beginning of the fight, she let out a shower of thunderous punch on her.

But the attack was block by her witches' magic barrage. Breaking some of it and hit some of the witches, hurling them to the wall and smash hard on it. Rosie then counters her with a close up firebolt spell. Then another and another until to the point Enya have to dodge and back away from Rosie.

"Roar of the Raging Ifrit…blasts her away…" A magic circle appears, circling at the ground where she is standing. Chanting her spell fast while performing a quick motion with her arms. She conjures out a fiery face of a fire beast while being accompanying by numerous number of firebolt around it.

Enya swiftly ready her spell. Planning to disperse that heat away and to create a moment of distraction. Thanking for that magic as she thought this to herself. Magic circle appear at where she stands. Readying her stance for the incoming blast. "Thunderous Call of the Howling Wolf, Fenrir…"

She palm strike it with all her might with the ultimate voltage of electricity releasing form her hand and boom! Fiery explosion emit in the chamber. Violent whirlwind occur in the hall. As it break the wall, ceiling and tiles into pieces. Some of the witches who stand near Enya desperately cast a barrier, but that prove to be useless in the sheer might of two high ranking magic collide. In that brief moment of staggering from the attack, Enya dashes her way to Rosie. Wielding her magic melee weapon, Kaminari no Ken. Getting close to her, drive her weapon straight for her heart. But Rosie saw it coming. Smirking at the desperate Enya attack. Rosie in a split second grabs the one of the tired witch. Pulling that confuse girl to the front of Rosie. Pierce, she got hit instead.

"Lady…Rosie…but…why…ahh…"

"You suppose to protect me right? You should be honored that at the very least you live up to your words." Rosie said before tossing her to the side like a dirty rag doll. Now the other witches have seen what Rosie truly is. Her true color. She will use anyone just for her sake in her scheming and all sort of the foul play.

"Lady Rosie? What did you…why did you let…?"

"She was young and such a cheerful girl milady…Lady Rosie why!?" Some of the witches beginning to question her sudden course of action. But Rosie simply responds them with a smile. But to Enya, that was no smile at all. A sadistic, evil smile to her eyes.

"She is the necessity to sacrifice herself for my safety. Don't let it fret too much girls. Come! Continue pressing your attack on Enya. Hurry."

"We will not!" One of them cried angrily at her. "We will detain you for your action Lady Rosie!"

"You have the right to remain silent! Restraint her everyone!"

"Sigh…At least I have used you all to the fullest now." Rosie smiles. A magic circle appears once again on her feet. Casting another spell and this is not intended for Enya.

"Everyone! Get away from her! She's going for a…!" Before Enya could finish her words, Rosie somehow already kill the other standing witches with her magic. Piercing their hearts with a powerful, blazing firebolt.

It was fast and sudden. Her fire magic is raging ferociously at the witches as some of them were engulf in flame with such intensity. Yelling from the horrifying agony of pain before becoming a charred pile of flesh. Enya then spring into action. But Rosie prevented her from doing it. Wounding Enya, leaving a couple of deep, charred wound. Her magic is getting stronger. Even blocking it proof difficult.

"You're suddenly slow Enya. Did you hesitate to save them for a second there? You could have killed me during the slaughter. Ah…" Her face went full bliss. She is showing her sadistic side of her once again. "The screaming and the torture…Fire sure is my favorite among any others…"

Enya could not move an inch. Deciding what her next of course will be. If she move and attack, who knows she might engulf Sakura next. She cannot do two things at the same time. To stop Rosie or save Sakura. Then, Rosie suddenly slaps Sakura away before casiting a fire magic at her father. It was sudden and clearly she is going mad. Hearing the scream of agony coming from him, he eventually stops after a brief moment. Sakura could not believe what had just happened. Crying and begging to Rosie at the same time top stop her. But of course, that will never happen. Slowly the fire burn away the flesh and turn to ashes next.

"Father…Father…" Sakura went traumatize.

"Hehehe…" She giggles at Sakura, before caressing her pitiful, crying face. "I just love your despair…your face…"

"Rosie!" Enya call her. Biting her lips in anger but at the same moment, enduring the agonizing, burning wound. "Stop this. Let's her go. Why…why would you do this? You just need me only."

"Good thing you mentioned that. You see…" She let out her smiles. "I've hated you right from the beginning. Jealousy, anger and revolting over the fact you gained high rank in the organization at such a young age. Whereas I have to stick at doing what I do best. All my hard, earned work goes down in hopping to be someone great. Then, I have a great plan. A stupid one but surprising it worked!"

"By befriended me. Fooling me. Using me. Putting poison words of yours to the elders. Putting my name into a wanted person. Turning everyone against me. My family and friends…all of your scheming… but you just only need me!"

"I just need everyone that related to you to get out of the picture from hindrance my plan. To destroy this empire. Making my name worth to the elders. Now left you. Never thought you will befriend with this girl here. Kill two birds with one stone they say don't you think?"

"In doing that…you let innocent, young witches perish just for your plan?"

"Ah! Good thing you remind me that one." She clicks her fingers. "Of course. Those who cannot survive and follow my plan. They will just die like what you see just now." She spread out her arms, showing all the dead corpses around her. "I just want the strong to live through the ages of my people. Not like you, making peace without showing them our potential, true power. Our heritage will die out in the future if we stick to yours Enya."

"Ridiculous…" Enya biting her lips harder. Streak of blood flow from her lips. Anger is building on her. Showing her eyes. Her fearsome, serious eyes of someone wanting to kill. Someone who do not regard in doing one. "Your plan will go down. I will make sure of that. And, I will save you Princess. Wait for me and we will see envision of peace soon."

"Enya…sniff…thank you…" Sakura sob silently.

"HAHAHA! Amusing! But you forget the state you are in. I've her where I want…" SMACK! Rosie stomach was punch and blasted away from Enya magic out of the blue. She is now insanely fast. As fast as a lightning strike.

Smash right to the other side of the chamber wall, Enya ready her next magic. Then, fire pillard came showering down from above Enya. Canceling her current casting and cast a protective barrier, she begins to counter next.

"Elven shot spark!" She sweeps her hand horizontally to her front. Shooting out eleven electric blades to Rosie.

It did not end there. Rosie yet counters with her firebolt. Colliding and exploding mid-air in the middle of the chamber. Spurting blood next from Enya mouth, she drops on her knee. She is stressing her wounded body already. Covering her mouth. Still coughing blood.

"Enya!" Sakura went up to her.

"Prin…Princess! Please stay away! It's…cough! It's dangerous!"

"But you are…"

"Hurt? How about more of that?" Rosie appears suddenly at Enya face. Delivering a fire magic on her. Blasting a meter away before going for Sakura next.

"Your little princess is next Enya." Dragging her words as if she is toying with her. Materialize a fire spear in her hand. Readying to pierce that little body of hers.

Using the last ounce of her strength, she got up. Blood flowing out from her wound rapidly. Staining her clothes and floor but she cares less of that. Using her speed to her advantage. Using her body next to take the hit instead. Sizzling sound of flesh burning could be heard next. Preventing the tip of reaching at Sakura.

"ENYA! NOOOO!" Sakura screams. Horrify to see Enya like this.

"I've been waiting for this. I knew you would take the hit anyway. How's my plan and scheming going for you?"

"It's…cough…pathetic still…But I have…another trick up in my…sleeve. You felt for it…easily."

Enya cast as harmless shockwave at Sakura, pushing her away before she rolls from the force to safety next. Enya push her already, charring, fatal wound even more towards Rosie. Hug her tightly before whispering to her ear.

"All that vanquish under the absolute might of the divinities…Come forth…Spear of Odin…Gungnir…"

"You can still cast your High Level Magic!? Enya you bas…!"

A huge, electrical powered spear strikes down from above them before she can swear at Enya. Striking the ground. Exploding them both. Making a huge crater in the middle. The next thing Enya knew is hearing a baffle, distance voice calling for her. Sakura appears next to her. Getting up slowly while covering her wounds, Sakura help her to get to the flat, even floor.

"Enya! Your wound! Are you okay!?"

"You idiot…Of course I'm not okay…Oh wait. This is just a scratch…idiot…" She said before knocking Sakura head gently. "Don't worry…I can more or less resist my own magic a little…I'll be fine…"

"Stop talking or you will reopen your wound! Here!" Sakura tears her clothes to make bandages out of it.

"Let's…go princess…To somewhere safe and free from…this…"

"Until it is time. I want to rebuild my empire. Will you help me Enya?"

"I will princess." Enya forcibly smiles. Despise her being so tired and in pain. "I too want to build a place where people will leave in peace. No more…of this negativity in our life…"

Suddenly, Sakura pushes Enya away from her. This left her in confusion. Just what is she doing? Then, fiery, blazing spear pierce right through Sakura body. Leaving a huge, burning hole in her body. That moment, Enya knew she is done for.

"SAKURA!" Enya shouted at the top of her lungs.

"AHAHAHAHA!" Someone laughing madly. Rosie. She was alive all along. She must hide away her magic aura until Enya guard was down. "Finally! Finally! Next up is you Enya!"

"Rosie! You bastard! Ack! Cough!" Enya spurt more blood and her wound is reopening.

"My specialty is not fire only. Although even I cast my illusion self, your magic destruction still got me. I'll make sure to pay back that favor to you."

Enya now have no strength left. Instead, she crawls to Sakura. Her tears flow down from the side of her eyes. Her emotionless face. No words. No scream. Just the sight of her dying face haunted one's mind she is going to die soon. Enya pick up her to her arms. Putting her head to rest on Enya's lap.

"Don't…cry now…my hero…At…most I will see you…in the next…life…"

"I'm so sorry…Let's go together now. At least I don't have…to wait…" Embracing her cheek softly.

"Live Enya…See to it you will bring…peace…the way you envision it…Pea…" Her words are failing. She is fallen unconscious. But Enya body would not respond. Her mouth is heavy to chant for the next spell. Her vision is getting blurry. Her breathing getting ragged. Waiting for the end as Rosie ready her next magic.

"Ha…I can't…I'm sorry Sakura…But…but…I WANT TO LIVE! I WANT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING! SOMEONE! PLEASE SAVE SAKURA! PLEASE SAVE US!" But that was just a pointless rant. There is nothing she will expect anymore. Her end is here.

"I hear your desperation…your intention to change my dear…" Someone said. Echoing the chamber with such mysterious, serious tone.

A black portal crack open behind Rosie. There, a beautiful, tall lady floats out from the opening. She is so radiantly in the eyes of Enya. Like a knight in shining armor. A hero. Rosie was distracted then. Grabbing on her neck by this lady. Black mist is forming around them. Which begin to suffocate with Rosie coughing badly from it.

"You have been a bad girl aren't you little Rosie." The lady said with such piercing, deadly tone of hers.

"Ack! Who…are you!? Cough!" Rosie, desperately trying to pry free from her grasp.

"I wouldn't bother telling you that." Smirking at Rosie. "I heard everything. I'm admired that you wish to have your people live throughout the age. But it still disgusts me the way you do it. Eventually anyone can be corrupted by their negativity building up in them. So, I did an honor of destroying your people. Your country. Your home."

"What…My people? My home? You…YOU DESTROY THEM!? WHY YOU!"

"Let's just say it is a payback for what you did to my dear Enya. No hard feeling now. So, let us close the curtain here." The lady places her free hand to Rosie heart. Before her fingers begin to sink into her flesh. Rosie was yelling in pain. But at the same time, crying and laughing away from the pain. She is indeed a crazy sadistic bitch.

"Ah? So you did live up your name little Rosie. Impressive but now engulf in eternal darkness." She then rips her heart away. Still beating for a second there until she crushes it with her bare hand. Additionally, the lady breaks her neck with that slender arm of hers. Dropping to the ground like a rag doll. Karma is a bitch like they said.

The lady turns her attention to Enya. But her body is giving way. Drop flat on the ground, holding Sakura cold hands with hers. The lady stare down on the wearily, wounded Enya before smiling away.

"I can save your princess. But it will come with an ultimate price."

"I don't…care…I beg you…please save her…"

"Serve me. To create a new world of your envision you want. Sever all ties of this world and I will carry on your words. Enya Ashburn. Will you come with me?"

"Yes…" Enya did not hesitate for second thought. "Please…save…" She then went out cold. Watching her vision get more blurry. Watching as darkness descends on her. Next thing she felt is a warm sensation thought out her body. Her body being lifted. The feeling of someone embracing such warmness came next. That is when she heard of someone voice. A sweet child voice like Sakura.

"Enya…wait…"

Somewhere in Gensokyo…

"Enya you…" Marisa wipes her tears away. "Even still…you kept the pain to yourself…"

"Hey Marisa!" Aya called her out. Peeking into a well lit room with soft beds, dressing table and bookshelves. It is a more or less like a standard living quarter for a normal person. "You have been there for quite some time. Ready to go?"

Marisa takes the journal of Enya Ashburn and shoves it inside her dress pocket. Hoping to read more about her fellow magician and hopefully came to understand more about her and her friends. "Yeah…" Marisa voice was quite saddened. Until she brush such away feeling before going back to her usual self. "Let's get going!"

Along the dim, candle fire corridor, everyone could not control their anxious feeling but their alertness around the surrounding is top notch. Mindful of the area for possible ambush or traps. But strangely not Tania. Walking normally as if she knew there is no danger. Silently walking as if she knows the way around.

"Tania-san." Kizaru calls her out. "You are awfully quiet. Are you perhaps not feeling well eh?" Dragging his words as always.

"Hmm?" She turns to look at the others. "Oh! I'm sorry about that. It's just that. I never thought I will be walking along this corridor once again…"

"Hmm? What do you mean by that? Are you hiding something particular from us?" Shikieiki sounded like she is questioning her.

"Stop that Enma-sama." Eirin came right beside her. "She is on our side. You don't have to feel suspicious over her even though she is our enemy sister."

"It's alright everyone. I'm used to that kind of remark." Tania smiles, even though she is being view as the enemy still. Well for some which Shikieiki is one of them. "But talking about this corridor. It reminded me of the one back in my home. I beginning to think this is my house."

"What? Are you sure? Now that's the reason why you know the way around." Akainu said.

"Well…yes…but this is all but an illusion created by my sister. My home was destroyed by her a long time ago. She was so furious. Furious the fact my people just stood by and watch humanity slowly becoming corrupted. Furious that we did not do anything. One day, she made up her mind. Disgusted by her own people and not wanting anyone to interfere her doing, she killed everyone except me. I know deep inside her there is still light in her. I want to save her from the darkness looming in her heart."

"So that does explain pretty much everything why she wants to engulf everyone into eternal darkness? Eternal, silent peace. "Aokiji sounded a bit of disagreement. "Personally for me, she is just merely using this fast method. Coward to face the reality of what the nature of people can do. But I do believe people can change still."

"When there is good. There is evil. It is the balance of all worlds to coexist. We mustn't let her upset the balance."

"Indeed you are correct Enma-sama." Tania agrees, nodding her head. "If worse comes to worse. I will stop her myself. Even I have to kill her."

Everyone then went silence. Knowing it must be hard of her to accept that. Killing her flesh and blood sister in this battle to come. Few minutes pass, they came upon a cross junction of the hallway. Tania chooses the right corridor stated that if she is not mistaken. Considering that she did mention along the way there are a bit of changes in the place. It is as if it is mix with different layout of different person housing. But more or less, it still retains the same nonetheless. Then, they heard something in the other side of the hallway. Enemy. Their first thoughts but who could be it be? More feeble dark minions as usual?

"Do we take care of them first? Or we ignore them?" The Prismriver sisters asking for everyone opinion.

"No…we will retreat little by little until we gather them in the hallway. Let's get a move on first." Tania said.

As when they take a few steps following Tania from behind, a sound of something hit onto a wall could be heard. Turning around, Tania was taken by shock that some of the girls bizarrely cannot pass through where Tania is.

"What! What is this?! We can't get through Tania-san!" The scarlet sisters are block by some kind of invisible wall.

"Huh? How did we…" Tenshi and the Prismriver sister out of the blue at the other side of the hallway. Same result. Could not get through the other two groups.

"What the!? We too!?" Aya, Eirin and Shikieiki end up in the other hallway as well. Separating the whole group into four. To matter worse, the noises are getting closer and closer. Moaning and low roaring were echoing at the distance.

"Damn…" Marisa clicks her tongue. "Me, the admirals and Tania only going the right way? Just when I need more firepower on this final fight."

"This is my sister doing. Her illusion…to separate us…perhaps I can destroy it away…"

"No." Shikieiki stops her. Putting her rod to her mouth. Showing her seriousness to everyone here. "You must make haste. There is no time. Once the barrier of Gensokyo collapse, it is all over for us. Stop her Tania-san. I trust you can fulfil your duty yes?"

"Don't worry about us. We will make our way there ourselves. These monsters are nothing!" Aya said. Boosting the courage and morale to everyone.

Tania looks at everyone. Nodding their heads at her. Reassuring her it is alright to go on ahead. "Thank you everyone. Please be careful."

"Hehehe! Tell the enemies to be careful actually!" Tenshi boastfully cried that.

"Don't drag me down tengu-san. I wish to hurry up to meet Lamia."

"But of course Enma-sama…You can absolutely trust this tengu…heh heh heh…" Aya nervously said to her.

"Hmph…I'm sure…" Shikieiki not impress by her words on that.

"There there. Let us not get into a fight now." Eirin stands between them to assure they are not to brawl each other next.

Every one of them head to do their respective doing. Tania immediately waste no time and lead the way for the remaining member of her group. As they press forward, good thing is that there is nothing attempts to slow them down. But still, anxious as always. Tania then stops suddenly. Looking at the solid, crack wall at the side of her.

"We are here. She's at the other side of this wall…"

"Hmm? I don't see a door…Another illusion?" Akainu touches the wall.

"Sister…" She speaks in a low tone. "We are here. Let us in…" She touches the wall.

Strange symbols and magic circles begin circulating the surrounding of the wall. A double large wooden door appears in front of them. Slowly, it opens. Making a creaking sound of the rusted door joints. Echoing the vast, hall that appears in front of them. On each side of the hall, a number of tower glasses were parallel to each side of the hall. Looking out of it, everyone saw a vast, green, and lush plain. Ray of light shines warmly on their body into some kind of positive sensation. Flowing from the head to toes. Over at the other side, they saw her. Lamia facing her back at them. In front of her is Reimu, seems fatigue as she lay on her side. Sweating and breathing heavily, she is bind to some kind of black, misty chain on her hands and legs. Marisa could attack Lamia and rescue Reimu. But teamwork came right in her mind. Knowing it is best to coordinate their attack rather than going solo.

"You guys…" Reimu say in her tired voice. "You are late…hahaha…"

"Reimu…thank goodness you're alright…" Marisa said.

"Sister…" Tania calls her sister out.

"Did my girls finally at peace? Were they…happy? Smiling?" Lamia turns her head to the side, glance at them with her sad, teary eyes.

"Yes…there are sister…" Tania, clenching her chest, says in a soothing, calm voice.

"They knew about me controlling them. But still…" Lamia walks up to Tania, before stopping a meter away from her. "They wouldn't blame me for it. I was at first using them for my ambition. But the more I'm with them, the more…I'm open to them. Something I started to care about…those sweet girls of mine."

"Sister…" Tania went closer to her. "You don't have to do this anymore. Let's go home. We can start everything anew. Please…I don't want to…lose you. Like we lose the others…"

Lamia was silent. Shocked. No matter how much Tania got hurt by her, she will still say such thing. Let it all be the end now. Whispering those words and embraces her sister softly. Sobbing softly on her chest. Telling her it is not Lamia fault and Tania wants her to let go all of this and come back. Lamia, still keeping her silent, grab her little sister shoulder and push her gently from each other.

"Sister? Please…I beg you please…" Tania with her teary eyes, not wanting to hear what her next words will be.

"It has already been done. I casted every ounce of my power and magic for the finale. I will perish alongside like my people when all of this is done. You do know what I mean yes?"

"But why would you…You should not use all your power or else…!"

"I will die either way." She smiles at long last. Not that evil intention but something likes her good side of her. "Either you and your friends kill me or watch the last of the barrier destroy and engulf all in darkness. Stop me. End me. And save everything you hold dear. Come now. Time is precious with every second we stand here."

Lamia materializes her staff on her right hand and points it at Tania next. "Kill me before it's too late my sweet little sister…"

"It looks like…" Aokiji body begins to turn to ice. "This is your final answer. So be it."

"The show is ending soon indeed. And we will make it fast and end your long miserable." Kizaru said.

"You are ready. I shall deliver absolute justice on you. You should be honor for that." Akainu fists the cover with magma. The excess magma drops to the ground, making a sizzling, frying sound on the concrete ground.

The three admirals stand proudly. Readying their full power against their final opponent. Lamia knew the odd. Her wound is taking a toll from all the previous fights she had. She nods her head. Smiling away she is ready for the final showdown.

"Let's go! Let this be the end of everything Lamia!" Marisa run to her and make her first move. "Green Spread!"

"Show me your unwavering resolve!" Lamia staff glows with immense darkness before sending a volley of energy balls at them, colliding some into Marisa magic.

Tania deflects some of it away. Hesitate at first. But it has to be done. She has to end it. Point her staff at Lamia next, she conjure a volley of her version next. Which in turn Lamia easily deflect them away. Keeping the explosion at the side of the hall.

"Partisan!" Aokiji materialize dozen of ice spears. Hurling them at her only to be stop by a barrier she invokes.

Behind the wall, she is preparing another spell. But Kizaru and Akainu went to her sides. Delivering their respective physical imbue power of theirs at her.

"Hell Hound!"

"Be careful now." Kizaru said calmly.

"Come forth my minions. Serve me death do us apart…" Slamming her staff to the ground, numerous numbers of different types of creature rose up from the ground. Taking the full hit and blast before any of it could notice it or attack them. They were just for taking the hit but still, some manage slip out from harm way. Proceeding to the others for the kill.

"Annoying creatures! Hiya!" Akainu ferociously strike down one of it.

"Dark Conjure!" Summon her dark spears at everyone.

"This is it! Charge up!" Marisa points her Mini-Hakkero to Lamia. "Love sign! Master Spark!"

"Together now Marisa-san! Hiya!" Tania did her version of her beam.

Then, both of the beams intertwine into one other. Making the beam stronger and larger than their single power output. Boom! Lamia barely blocks that with her staff. Too much distraction to block that only to be strike from the rear by Aokiji ice attack. It pierce her body with the sub-zero temperature icicle blade, Leaving her defensive capabilities drop to zero as she took the full blast of the beam. After the blast, it left a thick smoke and debris are everywhere. Marisa uses this chance to hurriedly go over to Reimu.

"You alright Reimu?" Marisa trying to touch the chain but it is somewhat hot to touch.

"I'm fine…I took quite a blow form her. Use this time to recover anyway…" Reimu said while getting up slowly.

"Damn these chains! Reimu stick your arms and legs out." Marisa readies her device to shoot at it.

"Don't blow my arms away now…" Reimu chuckle so does Marisa.

Then, after somehow manage to destroy the chain apart, Reimu stands up and stretch her body. They look at Lamia fighting off all sorts of magic and attack. To the point she got thrown off again and again from the attack and blast of the magic countless time. Thrown to the wall and smash on it Stopping her for a brief moment and surprising she is still alive and kicking. Leaning her body against the wall. Lamia is struggling to get up using her staff as a support. Her clothing is tattered from all the attack. Her wounds are visibly clear showing with blood staining on her clothes. As well staining the ground from the drop of blood from her wound.

"Sister… Please stop…I don't want to see you suffer anymore…"

"Hahaha…"Lamia let out her wearily laugh. Looking up at Tania with her bloody face. "More like I making you suffer all this time. This is nothing as compare to anyone I've done to. It is time…"

Suddenly, the surrounding area change. It starts to shakes violently. Breaking the foundation of the hall and breaking the glass at each side. Their vision start to swirl but moment pass, it went back to normal. But not in the hall anymore but somewhere in the middle of a town. A town square. Empty, deserted town they are in next.

"I believe…" Aokiji keep looking around him. "We have seen this place before…"

"Yes…this is my hometown before my sister razes it to the ground. But there is some other places I never…"

"Akainu…look…Marineford…" Kizaru pointed out for me. Looking at the distance, it is true. A destroyed part of the Marineford building got destroyed. Leaving it afloat in the mid-air. While there are some others more. A number of damaged and destroyed marine ships.

"Our world…is being destroy slowly? But we can still make it…" Akainu sounded calm despite what he is looking at.

"Everyone…welcome to the Void of the Passing." Lamia is floating down from her levitation in the air. "How do you find this world of mine I told you about?"

"You surely have a bad taste. Filling all sort of wrecks. Except this town though. This is what I call peaceful."

"Of course. This is not what I expected. This is result of that powerful youkai Yukari-san and my sister when they interfere my doing. Without them, it will soon be the end. But not now, you still have time. To kill me before my spell came to its effect. Now, let us enter the final phase of my power!"

Numerous black portal crack open from behind Lamia. Showing its dark void inside. While oozing out black tar and thick mist out of it. Covering everything and anything into a misty, dark arena next. Her face appearance is changing. Streak of dark line are protruding on her face. Eyes as red as a crimson blood. Her tattered, dark misty cape is fluttering from side to side. This enormous, wicked, deadly aura is what Tania all this time. Has she gone to her full power yet? But still, Marisa and her group have the firepower advantage. They can do it. For they must to save the fate of the two worlds.
