Maria continued in the same position, but soon Scarlet gets a little bit mad and starts to attack Du Nord, who was just dodging and defending herself from the attacks of the little McLaren. Julia comes back with everything towards Esther, causing the two to clash arms, which generates a huge shockwave, the older McLaren soon also notices a small wound on the face of Williams and even gives a smile, this while she began to strike as fast as she could, even opening a little the defense of the blonde and even hit a punch that throws it all against the ground.
- (I am proud of you Scarlet, keep it up girl! Let's finish these damned things off! Let's not leave one of them alive! Just hurting that traitor Esther is already a good thing! But then things are tough... Esther is not the same weak as before... Before I could defeat her without any effort... Where did she get so strong?)
Meanwhile Natalie and Heather were having a hard time holding their own against Diana, who was often able to make even the two of them end up hitting each other with punches and getting angrier. The spells often cast against Cavendish were ineffective, the girl would go through the explosions and hit both of them without any difficulty.
- Up to six of you can come, and I'll hold it.
Says Diana as Natalie accidentally punched Heather after trying to hit Cavendish.
- Holy shit Natalie! Pay more attention! She's playing with us!
Says Heather extremely angry.
- It's not my fault if you stand in front of the blows! You make it hard to fight like that!
Says Natalie.
Diana stares at the two arguing and then goes full force on Heather, hitting her with a punch, followed by a sequence of blows that launches her with everything, then transports herself to where the younger Tyrrell was thrown and elbows the girl followed by a blast spell that hits her with everything as she falls to the ground. As soon as the smoke clears the brunette was on the ground. Cavendish then starts to stare at Natalie who was furious and soon went all out on the green-haired girl.
- Nobody hits my sister but me!
Says Natalie.
- Then join her.
Diana says, ducking out of the way.
Natalie was about to throw a punch but Diana dodged it, kneed her in the stomach, then grabbed her by the arm, spun her around and threw her. Cavendish just opens the palm of her hands aiming at the older Tyrrell and fires a spell that hits her right in the face and generates an explosion much bigger than the spell cast towards the brunette, who also appears unconscious on the ground after being hit by Cavendish's spell.
The one who didn't like this at all was little Scarlet who landed a punch strong enough to break Maria's defense and with it throw her backwards, she cast a spell with everything towards Diana and started to go towards Cavendish who just tried to defend himself, but was soon surprised by the child who arrived in time to catch the green-haired girl and start punching her quickly.
- You bastard! You hit my mother! And my aunt! Now you pay me! Die! Die! Die! Die!
Says Scarlet hitting Diana as she cried a little.
Diana was barely able to defend herself, Scarlet was heavy with each of the blows given to Cavendish, she could barely defend herself from the punches given by the little McLaren who finishes blowing the greenish-haired girl to pieces and then casts a spell with everything towards the older woman, it was an explosive spell that throws Diana a little backwards and as soon as she falls, she ends up being trampled by the little girl. All this while Maria looked at the scene somewhat horrified.
- (Sorry little girl, but I can't let you kill my wife. It's one thing to hit and we can even defend ourselves... But it's another thing to beat my Diana to death... A lesson you will have to learn... I am going to arrest you and I doubt very much that you will do anything against us.)
Maria starts aiming her hand towards Scarlet, who was stomping on Diana, and with that she casts a spell that makes magical ropes appear, which causes the little McLaren to fall to the ground tied up and trying to get loose from those ropes, Du Nord quickly goes to his wife and notices that Cavendish was fine, she was still conscious, but a little hurt, while the little girl kept complaining and struggling to get loose from those ropes.
- You bastards! Let me go! Let me go! I command you! If you don't let me go I'll have my mother boil you in oil! Let me go! Let me go! I'll kill you... Let me go! Let me... Ahhhh!
Says Scarlet until she starts to cry.
- She is just a child... She doesn't deserve to go through all this... She is only angry because she lives in an environment where all the people are like that too... But what about you, my love? Did she hurt you a lot?
Maria says, helping Diana to stand up.
- It hurt a lot, but I could take it, this little girl has enormous potential, too bad it's all about cruelty...
Diana says while looking at little Scarlet.
- Let me go! I promise not to hit you anymore! Ahhhhh! I want my mother! Ahhhh! Let me go! Let me go!
Says Scarlet, crying.
While these fights were over, there was one that was just beginning, which was between Esther and Julia who were very evenly matched in terms of magic power and strength, the Williams was holding up very well against the McLaren, every once in a while one or the other would hit a stronger and more powerful blow, thus getting a small advantage, but the one who showed to be stronger until that moment was the blonde.
- (What the fuck! If it goes on like this, I'm going to end up losing to fucking Esther... Scarlet, Natalie and Heather already lost... Damn)
Julia starts trying harder and harder to gain an advantage over Esther but Williams wouldn't leave a gap, she knew how to predict McLaren's every move, which made her more and more irritated, but this irritation only left her attacking with less and less precision and also made her weaker and more afraid.
- Keep calm Julia, you'll never beat me that way.
Says Esther as she defends herself.
Esther used her hands and feet to easily defend herself from any attack that Julia tried to hit, but Williams didn't attack the girl, she just kept talking about the whole fight, gaining as much time as possible.
Meanwhile away from there at Leeds Castle, Harriet and Freya finish talking to the prison administrators about leaving cells with space to spare. Victoria was already a bit nervous, even more so because the two witches took a while to leave.
- Let's go!
Says Victoria in despair.
- Okay, now we can go.
Says Harriet.
- Now? We were supposed to go minutes ago! We won't make it in time...
Victoria says until Harriet and Freya put their hand on McLaren's shoulder.
Victoria in practically an instant is transported to Terre Sapphique, which leaves McLaren in shock, the two immortal witches soon take a deep breath and give the redhead ropes and handcuffs.
- What?
Victoria says.
- We are not goddesses for nothing, now go, get those witches from Lesbiland, we will be waiting here, we can't interfere more than that, since our magical power is beyond what you can understand... Victoria McLaren this is going to be your big day to prove how you can be a great witch and future supreme leader, arrest all these witches.
Says Harriet smiling at Victoria.
- I'm sure you will, we are blessing you with immunity to gunfire, plus this rope is infinite, so you will tie up every single witch that attacks your home... Now go! You are a witch worthy of this title of supreme leader!
Freya says.
Victoria then looks at Terre Sapphique and all she could see from afar was the desolate town, it was destroyed buildings, smoke was coming out of the houses, but it was from explosions and fires, slowly McLaren approached the town, and was shocked, the witches of Lesbiland were some dead and the survivors were killing some from Terre Sapphique using swords, which soon the redhead tried to stop a death from happening by tying up a witch.
- Gotcha!
Victoria says.
- Victoria! You came to save us!
Says one of the citizens of Terre Sapphique.
- I will arrest them all, I will try my best to save the city!
Victoria says.
Victoria is going through the streets of the city, with the rope holding each of the witches of Lesbiland, they were trying to attack McLaren with swords, the army was having a hard time counterattacking, even more so because the witches of Terre Sapphique were also helping by surrendering a good part of the enemy witches.
Lesbiland Army: 1098 (1302 casualties)
Army of Terre Sapphique: 997 (293 casualties)
Victoria was able to quickly surrender each of the witches and bizarrely each of the captured and bound witches were transported to another place, where it was Leeds castle, they were slowly getting into jail, just as Lesbiland's witch army was getting fewer witches compared to the sapphic ones.
Meanwhile on the outskirts of town, Esther was slowly making Julia more and more tired, she could no longer hold on trying to attack Williams who was practically humiliating her in that fight, attacking as little as possible, it was getting to a point that McLaren even started to cry.
- Damned! Damn you! Damn you! You blonde motherfucker! I'll kill you! You deserve to pay! Esther! I'll finish you off! Stop defending yourself! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Says Julia trying to hit Esther and practically crying with rage.
Esther even stopped defending, Julia kept constantly beating her chest crying with rage, until Williams ended up hugging McLaren, she kept crying like a child, but then soon the redhead ends up smiling takes a dagger from her pocket and just as she was about to strike a blow to the blonde, someone casts a spell that causes the blade to fall from the younger girl's hand.
Esther noticing that she was going to be nearly stomped, she pushes Julia and causes her to fall to the ground, Williams soon looks at her with a look of disappointment while McLaren was kneeling on the ground, she looked around, Natalie and Heather were unconscious, look at daughter Scarlet and she was whimpering looking at her mother. It was a "mommy, why did you wash me here" look, the little girl was feeling disappointed in her own mother.
- Julia... Why... I'll answer you why? Why did you do this? Why all this? Honestly Julia McLaren, what did you gain by attacking us? What did you get out of it? Just because you were angry and resentful of Victoria, doing all this didn't make you better than her, didn't make you stronger, didn't make you gain anything more! Julia... Stop thinking about it... Give up this way of thinking about revenge... Surrender, end this attack, only you can end it all... Look at your daughter, look at your girlfriends Even your oldest daughter, do you think they are enjoying being forced to do what you want? Have you ever stopped to think about them? Have you ever stopped to think that all this climbing to power wouldn't lead to anything? That not all people think like that, not all women are perfect and untouched by men... Not everyone is the same... We have our differences, and we must live together with each other... Accept our differences and embrace each other... Extremism will only lead to more war and war, this will only create a cycle of endless hatred Julia...
Says Esther holding out her hand to Julia.
Julia just slaps Esther's hand and then shows her middle finger, she even wanted to attack, but she knew it wouldn't be worth the effort, so she just sat there on the ground looking down while Esther looked at her, Williams was sad, she didn't even celebrate winning against McLaren, she even felt bad, because she didn't want to get to the point of doing that.
Meanwhile in Terre Sapphique, Victoria was finishing tying up all the witches of Lesbiland, she was going so fast that she managed to tie up the equivalent of 800 witches in a few minutes, thanks to her great speed in casting the magic ropes. This gradually filled the prisons of Leeds Castle. The remaining witches from Terre Sapphique took the dead bodies of their companions and buried them in the cemetery, while the bodies of the dead in Lesbiland were piled in a pile on the outskirts of the city.
- Victoria! Victoria! Victoria! Victoria! Victoria!
The residents of Terre Sapphique say,
- We are succeeding... We have won another war... Now what remains is to yield the leader of it all...
Victoria says.
Victoria was winning handily, Lesbiland's overwhelming army eventually retreated, many of these witches decided to run away and desert the town, since they had nothing to lose and it was only a matter of time before they were all gone, so much so that McLaren only let the remaining ones run away, since some could go back to Lesbiland and get their things, since Julia would probably still be in Terre Sapphique. As soon as the last witch of Lesbiland is tied up the redhead announces to everyone in the village.
- That was the last one, we of Terre Sapphique! We won a war!
Victoria says.
- Did we win?
Says the resident of Terre Sapphique.
- We won!
Says Victoria clenching her fists in happiness.
The war between Lesbiland and Terre Sapphique is over quickly, without causing too many casualties for the sapphic women.
Lesbiland Army: 4 (2396 casualties)
Terre Sapphique's Army: 1053 (338 casualties)
Victoria waves to the girls in the village and leaves from there to where she sensed Julia and Esther's presences, when she arrives she finds her sister sitting on the ground curled up, as do Natalie and Heather who were waking up after being unconscious for a long time, They look at the defeated younger McLaren and are in shock, as soon as they get up they run to Scarlet who was still tied up and untie the girl, the older McLaren just goes towards her sister and puts her hand on her shoulder.
- Are you satisfied... I know I'm not... Julia... After all these years, this was your plan? You did it at the cost of many lives, just to make your dictatorship possible, all because you wanted a better world for yourself... In the end you did not differ much from Mildred Berger... Even with different purposes, you were promoting the same thing... At what cost? Why should it bring any benefit? We are witches... We have suffered much prejudice for being witches. We struggle year after year to make a good impression. What you or Mildred wanted was that only a group of witches could get along... Women and more women would feel afraid because of these silly restrictions... Look at how the people of Lesbiland live... Nobody there should respect you Julia... People are afraid of you and your enormous magical power... All this for what? Because she got angry with the fact that she was Saoirse, all this because I always contradicted her with her miraculous plans... Because they were wrong things, selfish things that affect others I always promoted that you can have the freedom to do whatever you want, but your freedom ends when it affects other people's individual freedom... But what can I do now... I could just reach out and hug you Tell you that everything is fine and we'll come home... But no... Not this time... You're not a child anymore, I can't go around patting my little sister on the head every time she makes a mistake... I just hope... I really hope that you reflect a little... Think about the things she has done... I promise that I will visit her whenever she wants, that I will treat her with a lot of love... Julia McLaren... I still love you... Sisters are for that... to pick up the younger one and correct her... I will never give up on you.
Says Victoria holding out her hand to Julia.
- It's no use Vic...
Esther says.
In fact it did a lot of good, Julia this time did not deny it, she touched Victoria's hand, stood up and hugged her older sister, the younger one kept crying tirelessly, while the older one also did the same thing, all the violence that would happen in a war was stopped, even Scarlet looked differently at the two. After the hug was over the younger McLaren hands over her hand to be handcuffed.
- What am I going to gain by trying something else... I lost on this shit... My plan has gone to shit now... Okay Victoria McLaren... It's your daughter. You can have Caroline. Just let me do one thing before they send me to prison.
Says Julia.
Julia slowly goes with her hands cuffed to Scarlet who was still in shock and also trying to understand what happened, until the older McLaren smiles at the little McLaren.
- Scarlet... Mother Julia has done wrong... I won't be able to go back... But please... Listen to your Aunt Victoria... She'll know how to take care of you... She'll treat you well... As your mother's last wish... Respect your sisters... Respect your aunt and I promise to come back and give you everything you want.
Says Julia smiling at Scarlet.
Then Julia is transported to the prison, as well as the handcuffs are placed on Natalie and Heather as well, who go to prison soon after, Harriet and Freya wave to Victoria from afar and leave from there, transporting themselves to Leeds Castle, where McLaren would return a few days later for the Lesbiland witch trials.
The witches of Terre Sapphique were celebrating in the town, but Victoria felt bad, she felt sad, she felt useless, she felt guilty because she thought that what had happened was her fault, that she should be a kinder and fairer sister, that she should pay more attention to Julia. With the end of the conflict the witches of Terre Sapphique soon go to their hiding place to get the old women and children to celebrate with them.
See you, war witches...
