CHAPTER 12: FINAL FIGHT.
(POV: Mysterious Narrator.)
As the minion swung it's sword at her, Lady did her best to dodge the attacks and to attack back, but with how massive the monster is along with the fact that it was aiming to kill her, the Magicborn had no choice, but to dodge. It was then when Lady called out to her Sorcerer-Knights for assistance as she reopened the barrier.
"Everyone! I need some backup!"
"Well you heard her guys!" Timothy said to everyone else. "Let's kick some monster arse!"
"Right!"
And so, Thomas watched as all of his friends and brothers dash off to help Lady fight the enormous monster. Once outside, Timothy began to order the charge.
"James! Billster! attack from a distance! Donald! Douglas! place down some explosives! Everyone else! Form up on me!"
"Right!"
As Billster readied to say his spell words, he handed James a glass bottle.
"What is this?" The teen in red quizzed.
"Mana potion." Billster replied. "It is a potion that restores your mana."
"Oh." James replied. "Uh... Thanks."
As James then drank the potion, Billster drew Blue-Spark, and began the form change spell.
"Évros, Vélos, Apóstasi, Megálo, Míkos, Aéras!"
The blue sword ignited into a huge blue blaze, before changing into a form of a bow and the blaze diminished. Billster then used the flame ability from his previous fight with hunter, and pulled back on the string as the flame within his hand turned into an arrow. The 14 year old then began to fire at the monster with these arrows, as James casted fireballs at it. Though everyone was doing their best, it was still not enough, as Thomas watched helplessly, desperately trying to stand up.
(POV: Thomas.)
"They need me. They need me." I thought. "But, darn. I can't fight. What can I do? I'm useless."
As I just sat in my spot, all I could think about is getting up and helping my friends with the fight. But with the injury I had, I couldn't do anything, and felt useless. Or so, that is what I thought.
"Useless? I think not."
My eyes widened in shock, for I knew the owner of that voice.
"King Pendragon?" I said telepathically. "What do you mean? I can't fight. I'm wounded."
"Indeed you are, Thomas Billinton." He replied. "But not for long. For you will be back on your feet very soon."
I was about to ask him why on earth would he think that, until my scabbard began to glow brightly. It was at this moment that the realization struck me.
(POV: Mysterious Narrator.)
As Thomas watched in amazement, Excalibur's scabbard began to glow brighter and brighter until it was blinding. Meanwhile, back outside, Lady and the Sorcerer-Knights were still fighting the monster as best they could. Suddenly, the monster punched Lady, and she flew backwards to one of the icy cliff sides. The Monster then knocked the others down with a swing of its tail, before it stomped over to Lady. The shadow minion then raised it's sword high, ready to finish Lady off. Then, as the monster swung it's sword, a flash of blue zoomed in front and deflected the attack, which sent the creature flying backwards. Lady then opened her eyes, and was shocked to see who saved her.
"Thomas?" She said in surprise.
"Hey Lady." Thomas greeted back, as he then helped her to her feet.
"But, how?!" The princess then exclaimed. "You were gravely injured."
"Well, I'm not sure if you knew." He replied. "But, Excalibur's scabbard apparently has very high level healing abilities."
"Oh, right." Lady then remarked. "Why did that never cross my mind? Uh, anyways, It's great to see you back on your feet again."
"Thanks." Thomas replied.
Thomas and Lady were about to continue chatting until a loud growl was heard from behind. The two teens then turned to see the monster getting back up, to fight once more, but before anyone could make another move, a golden beam that was shot from nearby hit the shadow minion and weakened it. Thomas and Lady then looked over, to spot a familiar face.
"No way." Thomas exclaimed.
"Proteus?!" Lady gasped.
"Hello sister." The prince replied. "Don't worry, cavalry's here now. You and your knights won't have to fight alone now."
"Who all did you bring?" Thomas asked, as his question was then answered by some more voices.
"Junior! Now!"
"Right, Cuz!" Replied a certain man with a bandana. "Take this you big bad stinker!"
The spell fired from the two figures' sigils, and the Monster gave a growl of great pain. As she looked at them, Lady knew who those two sorcerers were.
"Junior? Mr. Conductor?" She then gasped in shock.
"That's not all M'Lady!" Said another voice, as he then fired his magic bullets from his handgun.
"Mr. stone!" Thomas then exclaimed.
"Hey! Tom!" Another familiar voice then called.
"Sorry we're Late!" Another finished.
As Thomas then looked towards the origin of the familiar voices, he smiled for he saw two familiar brown haired girls, along with two adults.
"Annie! Clarabel! Mum. Dad. I'm so glad to see you guys"
"And we're glad that you, Billster and Timothy are alive." Tanya replied back. "We were so worried when we didn't see you when we got back. We called your friends' parents, and they haven't seen you nor their children either. We were about to call the emergency number, when we heard that you were here from Edward and Henry."
"So, that's where they went!" Thomas exclaimed.
"Yup." Howard replied. "And so, since pretty much everyone is here now. So what do you say Thomas? you ready to take down yet another foe?"
Thomas smirked with great confidence and he then looked at the monster, and positioned his sword.
"You bet I am. Come on!"
And so, as everyone then charged forward, the monster readied to throw another attack.
"Oh! No! You don't!" Timothy said, as he used Malstorm to create a shield of ice and snow.
"You're not going to hurt anyone this time!" Billster said as he then fired a barrage of flame arrows.
As Everyone used their sigils, projectiles and sword spells against the monster that Strea created, Thomas and Lady watched each other backs, as they charged, slashed and pierced at the monster.
"Thomas now!" She called as she then parried the massive sword one last time.
"Right!" Thomas replied, as he then dodged a punch, and used an agility enhancement spell to jump into the air. "YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"
"SLASH!" Went Excalibur as it's blade struck it's target.
"POOF!" Went the monster as it disappeared into nothing.
As Thomas then landed safely, he looked over at where the monster once stood, and before falling backwards, and blacking out.
(To be concluded...)
