Chapter Fifty-One: Fighting Together
Lok's POV
I felt a rumbling in the Earth, again, as I tried to keep my balance when I saw a Temple ascending from the ground. I heard a Titan, Bazela's Hive more specifically, screeching on top of the Temple hearing Betrayer speak about rising again.
He asked who was with him before I heard gasps from the Messengers after Shauna said 'we are' with Wind stepping forward with her. When she heard the gasps I saw her glare at them before she said they all do.
Betrayer said everyone should listen because he's come to herald our doom which isn't surprising in the least. He said the Blood Spirals will inherit the Earth and after a while Sophie spoke saying the Casterwills and Huntik Foundation will destroy him together making me sigh and Betrayer laugh.
Betrayer said that our strongest has already been destroyed but I can't tell them the Betrayer is wrong because I don't know if everyone will believe me. Sophie gasped stumbling back when she heard that and I knew that what he says next will destroy everyones' will to keep going.
I especially knew that when he said 'listen to the truth and despair' like people seem to always do before he said 'Dante Vale is no more' which is a lie. I frowned fisting my hands when I heard Betrayer say that he feels his enemies, my allies, will to fight has drained away.
When Shauna said that Dante destroyed the Red Comet I clenched my teeth trying to think of a way to tell them Dante isn't dead and if they won't believe me I have to find a way to get them to fight again. Betrayer said that he can use his own powers to trigger the Spiral Mark, calling down the Nullifiers with the activation.
I saw various paths of red energy flowing from the Betrayer, he said that Dante merely delayed the Fate that will destroy mankind and I got tired of trying to think of a plan. When I heard him say that what Dante did was worthless, was meaningless, I was beyond angry
"You're angering me so much right now" I said casting Hyperstride breaking the stairs that led to the top of the Temple the Betrayer was on. I let a pillar of blue fire surround me like a Cylindrical Barrier before I yelled making it go higher closing the top from what the blue disk at the top seems to be doing.
"I'd hate it if Dante had to waste his time on someone like you Betrayer" I said before he tried to grab me with his palm but the Barrier stopped him. Cherit told me to rally the Troops and when I saw the Headset I knew what he meant.
"I can still feel Dante everyone and for those who don't know what I mean Dante would not have sacrificed himself if he didn't believe in us" I said before I continued. "He stopped the Red Comet to save us because he knows that we can do this without him if we work together" I said continuing again.
"We're all a part of Dante's Plan, the Casterwills, the Huntik Foundation, all of us are a part of Dante's Plan" I said finishing. "Dante and I know that we can fight on, that we can win" I said before I casted Bladecall calling out the Willblade.
I slashed the Blade asking the Titan inside the Willblade to attack causing a torrent of orange to appear almost hitting the Betrayer if it wasn't for the Barrier he put up. I saw only smoke from when the attack finally hit him so I jumped out of the Barrier telling Cherit that he has to be here.
I waved the Blade in front of me before I turned around when I heard a sizzling sound from behind me. I was too late to dodge in anyway so I ended up falling off the Temple despite stopping myself just before I would've fallen off.
I had lost my balance when I stopped myself making my heels dip off the Temple which is how I fell. I did a forwards Somersault when I was sixteen feet or so off the ground creating more wind resistance than before landing on my feet for a few seconds before I fell on my butt but I didn't hit anything that could threaten my life (1).
"Whether the Titan is still in my Dad's Holotome or not can you get it for me?" I asked Cherit and he nodded before I heard Sophie coming up to me. I know it's her because of the light footsteps and because Sabriel and Sorcerel were asking if I was okay and how I survived the fall.
She came over so I opened my eyes when I heard her call my name before I saw she was shocked and worried. She invoked Enfluxion who started attacking the Messengers, I got up after a while when my vision wasn't so blurry from hitting the ground calling out Baselaired.
"Buy me some time and take out the Marauders" I asked him before he nodded going after them. He returned one to their Amulet before he fell getting up when one was running towards him, he attacked him various times before returning that one to his Amulet.
A third Marauder knocked him down making him plunge his sword into the ground getting it stuck there. When I saw him trying to get it out so I asked him to activate Shooting Slash when a Marauder was about to attack him returning the Titan to his Amulet.
I asked him to return telling him he did great before he did so. I walked back over to where Sophie was seeing Cherit with the Holotome but I'm still not sure whether he is the Holotome or just inside of it.
"Thank you Cherit now let's see" I said putting it on the ground as I kneeled down pressing a button. As I had thought he is the Holotome not inside of it, it shocked me backwards not letting Cherit touch it as it spinned in the air flinging Cherit towards me.
It floated in the air for a few seconds before it sent a beam of energy at Sophie who was knocked backwards because of it. Betrayer said he would handle it from here making me stand up before he asked me if I was so gullible as to try and use Dad's Holotome when I know he was impersonating my father.
"That wasn't the reason I asked Cherit to get it, I wanted to see where exactly the Titan was in the Holotome" I said before I continued. "I said I knew the Titan was pretending to be the Holotome but I didn't know where exactly, whether he was the Holotome or if he was a part of it" I finished.
He told me that Rassimov had his uses because he planted it in the Professor's Study the night we raided. "I knew there were longer cracks in it than in my Dad's old one, and there were actually two times that I was actually able to talk to my Dad" I said before Sophie said that he needed the Willblade to activate the Spiral Mark.
She asked, after saying that, why he led us to Umbra or Phoenix making me chuckle dryly at her. "Because he knew they couldn't save us from whatever he's about to do, the only reason he led us to them was because we wouldn't have gotten here if we didn't have them" I said making Betrayer nod.
Demigorgon appeared after the Holotome disappeared getting bigger till he was his regular size, I heard the Betrayer say the Titan's name in his raspy, dry voice once he was his full size. His full name being Demigorgon, the Legendary Titan of Betrayal, Betrayer said that Demigorgon is the strongest of his Titans and has limitless potential because of that.
Enfluxion tried to stop the attack from Demigorgon but instead, because the attack was too powerful for her to stop, she opened a hole in the ground making Sophie and I fall through it. I felt a rock on my chest and a bigger one on my right side as I had my left shoulder under Sophie's head keeping it there with my hand to stop her from hitting her head on a rock when we fell.
I didn't hit my head thankfully but I still heard the Betrayer laughing evilly saying that our fate was sealed and I knew he was talking about Sophie and I. I heard King Basilisk being invoked making me smile since I know he's Zhalia's Titan.
After a while though I heard him being crushed by Demigorgon hearing Zhalia hit the ground. I know I heard two voices cast Dragonfist, one was Harrison the other Den, making me smile wider because that means he's changed if only slightly.
A/N: Hello, I finished writing this at 5:24 P.M. on November 2, 2016.
1) I don't really know how you can survive that height but I read an article about falling from a 47-Story-Tall Building and surviving so I followed most of those for this.
I do hope you like this chapter and story and will continue reading.
