Merry Christmas and Frohe Weihnachten^^
I am sorry that it took so long, but first i had some kind of writers block. I just didn´t knew what to write. And then the whole X-mas business kept me busy, so i hope for your understanding.
I am still hoping for reviews for chapter 34, because it it really important for me, but like i told you, i won´t force you do do anything.
35. Bond of Brothers
The landscape was covered in ice and snow. Jack´s blood tainted the snow black. Craters and other destruction were the aftermath of the fierce battle that took place here. But this battle was now decided. Kamui was on his knees, he no longer had the will to fight, while Jack stood now triumphantly in front of his enemy. Slowly Jack walked to Kamui to finish him and claim the prize that was now his. He concentrated energy in his pincer to land the killing blow. Despite his approaching enemy and the warning words of his inner circle Kamui did nothing. He could hear them, but he wasn´t reacting at all. His mind in disarray he could not process what was happening around him. "It is kind of sad that it ends like this, Godslayer" Jack began. Then he closed in for the kill against his defenseless opponent, but a blue glow and a high heeled kick in the the face showed him that this battle wasn´t over yet.
Haishel had left Delf´s edge and would continue the battle. With one powerful blow she send Jack flying backwards. Depore and Ren also left the blade but they stayed by Kamui´s side, he needed the closeness of his apostel more than ever. Kamui spend most of his life together of them, so their proximity put his soul at ease, exactly what he needed now.
"I guess you are the mighty Haishel?" Jack asked after he regained his senses. "I don´t have to reveal anything to a lowlife like you. Celica wiped the floor with your ugly face till you started cheating. And for that, you will pay with blood, pain and you life!"Only Haishel and Kamui´s wives called him by his real name. The other Silverwings, like Xeronos and Zordag adressed him as Kamui or more formal as Archon. But most people addressed him as Godslayer, more an insult than an honored title.
Haishel was definitly not amused right now. Under other conditions that would have been a great opportunity. Oh how she loved a decent fight but now it was not excitement of the coming battle that was strong in her, but anger, rage and pure hatred for the one creature that dared to hurt the man she loved in such a cowardly and pathetic way. Haishel knew that Celica needed her right now, she would have to end this battle quickly. She was as strong as Kamui in his battle form 2, so without Ren and Depore this battle would be difficult. Together they could defeat Jack easily, but if those two also left Celica´s side...no, Haishel tought, she would have to do it alone, with Delf as her weapon she should be able to do it.
"Listen up, you two" she said telepatically "we will throw what we have against him to distract him, then we will get out of here. It is way to dangerous to fight with Celica in this state and this close, so we will bring him to the other champions and then i kill this thing." "Wait, Haishel" Ren said " if we fight together we could beat him, but with master´s condition..." "I never said you two will also fight. You stay at Celica´s side." "Are you crazy?" Depore called out to her "You have seen how strong Jack is, do you intend to fight him alone?" "Don´t underestimate me." "But.." "No buts! Or do you have any other great idea?" Ren and Depore were both silent, Haishel was strong, they trusted her, she really had a chance to beat Jack, but it would be difficult and dangerous. "Get ready!" she shouted as Jack attacked.
She blocked his attack with Delf and then the two demons engaged in combat. Kamui´s levitating weapons appeared again, but this time they surrounded not him, but Haishel. She was alone, so she had to manage all of them without relying on others like Kamui could, but still she wielded so much weapons with great efficiency. And she herself was also an expert fighter. Thousands of years of battle´s forged a truly fearsome warrior. She showed Jack why exactly she was the infamous demon of earth. Unlike Kamui, who had fought his entire life because he had to, she fought because she loved it. She began this battle with anger for her enemy, and she still felt that way, but she could not deny the sensation that was spreading trough her body. Almost nothing brought her as much satisfaction as fighting against a strong opponent. Well, beside the truly mindblowing sex with Kamui.
Haishel unleashed a powerful energy wave and Jack was forced to block that attack. Ren and Depore used the chance that had opened. They stopped Kamui´s treatment for a moment and both forged a great part of their power in the weapons that orbited Haishel. Those weapons glowed with intense light and crushed full force into Jack. Jack concentrated his power into his armor or else he had no chance of withstanding such an attack, the sudden power up of the weaponry caught him off guard. Lot´s of snow and ice were awhirled by the impact of such an attack. The moment Jack could see clearly again, his enemies were gone.
The champions and summoners didn´t knew what happend. They could feel the power of the Godslayer and his enemy, so they could get a rough scheme of what must happening between those two. The power of the Godslayer was dominant for a while and they could feel that his enemy was getting weaker and weaker, indicating that the Godslayer was winning. Then his energy felt drastically and soon later complettly vanished. At this point the League began to worry. If even the Godslayer had lost, who else could beat this creature, Xeronos hadn´t showed himself so far. Especially Sona´s and Kayle´s worry reached a whole new level. Then another energy appeared. It wasn´t Kamui nor Xeronos, but after a short battle this energy was gone aswell. Only the energy of this unknown enemy was constant.
"Something is coming!" Nidalee shouted. Her beastial instincts were the first to detect that somebody or something was approaching their position. All fighters of the League readied their weapons. After a short while 4 persons landed right in front of the forces of the League. That was truly a side to behold. Three were beautiful women, every single one of them looked like she escaped every man´s dream. But those thoughts didn´t last long, because two of them were shouldering the limb form of the Godslayer.
Instantly they were surrounded. "What have you done to the Godslayer, speak!" Kayle readied her sword. "Cheh, annoying humans" Haishel said as Depore and Ren sat Kamui´s body on the ground. "We would never hurt our master!" Ren shouted. "Your master? You mean the Godslayer is your master?" Sona didn´t wait for an answer. She rushed to Kamui´s side, but the moment she saw him, she froze. On the ground sit the Godslayer, but it was nothing what she would expect. Great parts of his clothes and hair were covered in snow and ice, his clothes were torn and covered in blood. Deep sorrow were on his face, especially in his blue eyes. But what had truly shocked her was his appearance. His enitre frame weren´t atheltic anymore, it was slender and delicate, expect for his now developed womanly breasts. Kayle joined Sona and shocked aswell "Is that..." "Yes" Haishel answered her. "That really is Celica. But you call him Kamui or Godslayer." "But what happend?"
Before Haishel could answer a cold wave hit them. "There you are, Godslayer!" Jack said. "Damn" Haishel cursed. She had hoped that they could hide him before Jack would arrive. Haishel turned to Depore and Ren "You two stay at Celica´s side." Then she turned to Jack "You are fast, i admit, but isn´t it utterly stupid to charge into your own downfall?" She just wanted to charge at him, but then someone stopped her. Kamui grabbed her hand. "Don´t leave.." he whisperd softly. She could see the lonliness in his eyes, his despair. It was a heartbreaking scene, not only for Haishel, Depore and Ren, but also for Sona and Kayle. The once almighty Godslayer, who never showed any kind of weakness, who possessed power greater than any champion of the League, now totally broken, begging that he wouldn´t be left alone. Sona couldn´t take it anymore, she embraced his now female frame and cried against his shoulder.
"He is right, you shouldn´t leave him, he needs you more than ever. All of you." Rengar called out. "I will fight this thing." "You?" Kayle asked incredulous. "Haha" Jack began to laugh. "Who do you think you are? Die!" An ice blast crashed were Rengar was standing and covered the area in ice. "Does anyone else want to die?" But then Jack widenend his eyes in surprise as the ice shattered and gigantic cold aura filled the area. In the center stood a warrior, clad in ice blue armor, armed with a naginata. A frozen tail and a pair of wings sprouted from his back. The person turned to Jack. "I am Xeronos, the Breath of Winter."
