Chapter 24: Round 4…Duel! Okay, That Makes Sense.

Akiba/Sometime Later

As the Adventurers watch many goblins get slaughtered by an army of Grimm that Initiate 2575 have summoned. Many of the Adventurers have mix reactions to him such as confusion, as in why is he helping them and what are these creatures? Others are happy because they got reinforcements and forgot that the Grimm are monsters too. Shiroe tries to contact Akatsuki, Kanami, and everyone over at Seven Falls Fortress, but to no avail. Yet he noticed that the goblins are acting strangely, some of the goblins started acting weird with some started to retreat and others started to fight among themselves. Shiroe then said to Naotsugu "Hey Naotsugu, did you notice some of the goblins acting weird?" "Yeah I noticed that. Could it mean that the Goblin King is dead?" "I guess, but I try to contact the others yet there is something wrong with our telepathic communications."

Seven Falls Fortress/Hallways

As our company of heroes travel further and further into the labyrinth till took a breather for a little while. Roe2 then asked "Hey Weiss, how does your summoning glyph work?" Weiss answered "Well it is a family thing and is rare for anyone to inherit the same semblance. The summoning glyph is meant to summon foes that we have slain previously in combat and bring them to fight for our side." Roe2 then thought about it and said "So it's like necromancy in a way. The way to describe it is similar to necromancy the way to summon spirits or souls of your foes to fight for you." "Actually the creatures of Grimm don't have souls and lack an aura." "Yet even without a soul, it does sound like necromancy in a way." Yang then said "It does sound like it and if I die, don't resurrect me like that okay, Weiss." Akatsuki approached with everyone else and said "Alright, let's get going."

The group went further down and finally made it to the Goblin King's Lair but only to find the Goblin King is dead. Arthur then appeared, applaud, and said "Welcome to the Goblin King's Lair, sorry to inform you that the king is dead. Because Merlin was controlling that hideous creature and you defeated him, we had to kill this fat and ugly freak." Everyone then gets into battle position to fight against Arthur and said "Galahad, stay out of this. The pleasures are all mine" then pulled his black sword out from his chest and said "Behold! Darkcalibur!"

"We have been watching you through the monitors. So I won't be taken by surprise." said Arthur pointing his sword at the group. Kanami then said "Alright! Let's rock n' roll people!" Elias said "What's rock n' roll?" then everyone spread out into different directions when Arthur's sword starts to glow and fires a black energy slash with a glowing red aura. Ruby shouted "CHECKMATE! ENABLER!" Weiss cast a glyph under Blake's feet that is in the form of a clock with gears that increases Blake's speed and reaction time that causes her to unleash a flurry of purple energy slashes yet he uses his own slashes to block hers then Yang & Ruby combine their shots together to hit Arthur but he had an energy shield in the form of a rectangle. Kanami and her party started to charge in along with Akatsuki while Roe2 summons her new water minions to attack him.

However, Arthur used a telekinetic power to absorb Roe2's new weapon that give Darkcalibur an icy appearance. Roe2 ranted "Hey! That's my new weapon you jerk!" Akatsuki sneaks attack Arthur, but she became frozen in ice when he stabbed her in the arm. Yang ran over to Akatsuki saying "Hold on Akatsuki! I'll warm your cold personality." Weiss shouted "NOW IS NOT THE TIME YANG!" then cast a red glyph that shoots fireballs at him until Arthur used his telekinetic powers again to take away the Lance du Luc that gives Darkcalibur an icy and electrical appearance that deflected Weiss' fireballs by accelerating the speed of the ice balls he created and extinguish them. Yang got Akatsuki out of the ice and fall back to the group. Elias turned to Kanami and said "Kanami, do something about the gauntlets quick!" Kanami said "What?" then her new gauntlets got taken away and absorbed into Darkcalibur with the blade taken on a robotic appearance. Then Blake said "How are we going to take him down?" Arthur then summoned water minions that are giving off electricity and have molten metal fists. Yang said "Oh great! That is not what we need!"

Kanami said "I have a plan! Ruby, my guys Roe2 and Akatsuki can keep his minions busy, you and your team take down pretty boy!" Ruby shouted "Right! Weiss! Blake! You guys focus on the front, Yang and I attack the rear." All three of the girls said "Right!" Blake and Weiss charged at Arthur and all three attack and parry with their swords while Yang and Ruby charge at him from behind with Yang power throwing her sister at full force while Ruby prepares to slash. But he deflected her with an electric blast then Yang got her with Ruby saying "I'm okay!" with sparks fizzing in her hair. Then Weiss used a glyph to deflect Arthur's blow then Blake parried his sword into his chest then Arthur screamed in pain. Because of that all the minions disappeared then Akatsuki and Leonardo charged at him while shouting "ASSASSINATION!" Then Darkcalibur exploded with energy that caused major damage to Arthur.

Arthur stumbled backwards in pain with shadows coming out of his chest. Then he fell down on his butt then shouted "GALAHAD! I NEED HELP, NOW!" Galahad came down from a ledge then puts her finger on his lips saying "Now, now Arthur. There is no need to shout." Then her eyes turn black with her pupils and blood veins glowing red and said "I'll help you...by putting you out of your misery." Arthur's face was showing dread and horror as Galahad's head comes closer to him. She opened her mouth wide and took a chunk out of his neck while Arthur screams in pain as she munches on his throat. Then Arthur dies by evaporating into shadows. Galahad got up with black blood dripping from her mouth.

Weiss: "Okay, that is seriously messed up!"

Ruby: "I think I'm going to skip any meat dishes for a while."

Blake: "Why did you do that?"

Yang: "You guys are seriously messed up!"

Galahad said "That's okay because each and every Initiate are given specific traits and as for me..." giant red spider-legs came out of her back and large blue blades from her wrist and said "I am a Ghoul!" then makes an evil laugh.
