May 13, 2021:

Hey, everyone! Sorry I am late again, been busy irl and stuff.

So, next chapter is here. I hope you enjoy it. I was going to put music in here, but its almost Friday, so I will leave that for now.

Now, without futher do, here is it :D

Chapter 58: The fallen sister.

Iridia and Alan were jumping over some stones that were the only path to cross a pool of lava. They were walking normally a few minutes ago, but then, they sensed the energies of some of their companions clash with the energies of dark beings, one of them being Exia.

"You sure is that witch?" asked Iridia with intrigue.

"I am sure of it." Alan said, as he jumped from rock to rock. "I have meet her several times. I know the feeling of her aura. She IS there."

"And the others?"

"I have never felt them before, but some of them feel similar to one of the Archfiends me and Chisato fought on the Palace, so I think they are their companions or something. Another felt similar to the auras of the Elemental Heroes, and kind of similar to a Sage's aura, so I guess that is the Sage of Fire in there too."

"So the witch, some Archfiends and the Sage of Fire. Great." Iridia said in disdain. "But…what about the other one? Feels familiar to you?"

"I never felt it before." Alan responded in anger. "But… it DOES feel familiar."

"How so?"

"I…don't know…"

Alan didn't told her, but he KIND OF know that energy was. Kristal and her sisters have hugged him so much, and in the case of Kuarzo and Krysopa pressed their boobs on his body, that even if he didn't want to, he has discovered that their auras have a 'similar' feeling between them. He could feel Kristal, Kuarzo and Krysopa in the chamber of the crystal, while Karoita and Kainita were still in one of the tunnels.

So…when he felt an energy very similar to the sisters but covered in darkness, he could only think of the worst.

'Don't tell me one of the sisters is EVIL!'

"S-Sister Koralia…"

Kristal's eyes were wide opened, fixed on the woman in front of her. She was an exact replica of Kristal, almost like Kunzita, the other sister they meet on the Magical Library, was very similar to her in appearance. However, this woman had darker skin, white hair and red eyes, and her mage uniform, while similar to her's, was red and black in color. It was like looking at a darker version of Kristal.

But she wasn't…

…she was her sister.

"Hello, sis Kristal." Said the woman. "Kuarzo, Krysopa. Long time no see, sis."

"Koralia neesan!" Exclaimed Kuarzo in surprise. "W-Where have you been?! We though we lost you years ago!"

"I have been…around."

While the 3 sisters were in shock, the other 3 males were confused…specially Steve.

"Woa woa woa!" Steve exclaimed. "Kristal, who is this woman that looks JUST LIKE YOU?!"

"She IS our sister!" Exclaimed Kuarzo.

"What?! Another one?! Just how many sisters do you girls have?!"

"Not now, Steve!" Kuarzo expressed, before looking at the red woman. "Koralia! What happened to you?! Last we heard from you was-"

"Five years ago, right?"

Kristal looked at her 'sister' as she began to remember.

Five years ago, a group of students went into an excursion, along with several masters, to the Asgan Continent. It was normal for them to do so each year, so the students were very excited. Koralia was one of them. The young 11-year-old went with the group and they camped close to one of the cities on the north coast.

However, an anomaly appeared close to where they were camping, and so they had to flee. Unfortunately, Koralia's group was very close to this anomaly, and soon the rest of the groups have lost all contact with it. All of the people in that group were lost.

Except for two…

Kristal and Krysopa.

"Run, sis! It's getting close!"

The young girls, Kristal, Koralia and Krysopa, were running through a dense forest. They were running with all their might, as if something was chasing them.

And that something…was darkness…

Minutes ago, a group of young students and a couple of Masters were camping in a clearing. Kristal, Koralia and Krysopa were there, but they were about to leave the group as they wanted to get some apples. However, in that moment…something happened.

From the middle of the clearing, where all of the group were, a magician circle appeared and then, a mass of darkness began to appear. It then expanded fast, and it consumed the Masters and many of the students in a short amount of time. The rest tried to flee, but they too were consumed by the mass of darkness, that expanded faster and faster. Soon, it was a large blob of darkness.

That is when the 3 sisters, who were the farthest away from the center, decided to run.

For the five minutes, the three 11-year-old girls ran for their lives. Their legs were giving in, as they just depleted the very little magical energy they had, and so they couldn't fly away. The mass of darkness was following them like it was sentient, chasing them across the forest, consuming any tree or any animal in their way like it was nothing.

"It's getting closer!" Exclaimed Krysopa, the youngest of the 3, as she was being left behind. "I can't run anymore!"

"Don't give up, sis!" Exclaimed Kristal. "The other Masters are close by in another clearing! They will know what to do!"

"What in Ra's name is that thing?!" Asked Koralia.

"I don't know! But we must run!"

The thing was, the darkness was sentient. After a while, it began sending hands of darkness, trying to catch the three girls, but they managed to evade them for now.

Then, suddently, Krysopa tripped, and she fell to the ground.

"Krysopa!" Exclaimed Kristal in desperation, as she saw the darkness have already send it's hands to get her. "No!"

The green haired girl looked at this and knew it was her end, but… then, she was pushed away. When she turned to look at where she was before, Krysopa saw that the hands have captured one of them.

"Koralia neesan!" Krysopa exclaimed, as the white haired mage tried to escape.

"Don't get closer!" Koralia exclaimed, as she tried to fight. "Kristal! Take Krysopa and get out of here!"

"We can't leave you here!" Exclaimed Kristal.

"Just go! Sis! Protect Kryso-"

And she couldn't end her sentence, because the hands immediately pulled her into the mass of darkness, where she was consumed.

"Koralia!"

"Koralia neesan!"

Both sisters looked in horror as they saw their third sister disappearing in the darkness. But the darkness didn't stop, as immediately it sends hands to caught Krysopa. However, Kristal got out of the shock and pushed Krysopa out of the way, so both of them managed to escape.

They continued running for some more minutes, until they got out of the forest and into another clearing. They fell to the ground, and the darkness jumped to get them…when it was hit by several high level spells.

The Masters from other groups were ready, because they felt the dark energies that came from the forest, so the moment they saw it, they attacked it. They tried to use the Spellbinding Circle to seal his movements and…while they DID manage to capture it, a small portion of it managed to flee, shooting into the sky and north.

After the dark being was destroyed, Kristal and Krysopa cried for their fallen sister, as a young Kuarzo, Kainita, Karoita and other sisters of them tried to console them…but it was no use, because they also lost someone important that day.

Kristal took a deep sigh, as she opened her eyes.

"You fell…" said Kristal. "You were…consumed by darkness. Then how did you-?"

"By the grace of Lord Exus." Said Koralia, and that caused the 3 sisters to feel like someone stabbed them in the heart.

"Oh no…" Krysopa said in shock.

"Oh you got to be kidding me!" Exclaimed Kuarzo in anger. "He got you too?!"

"Got me? No: he saved me from the darkness." Said Koralia, the other Dark Magician Girl, as she walked around the place.

"Saved you?!"

"Yes, I was saved. After I was absorbed by the darkness, I thought it was my end. I slowly felt myself getting weaker and weaker. But then, suddently, I saw light, and when I opened my eyes, I was in a gray sandy beach, with Lord Exus in front of me. He told me he has seen the future, and that I formed a big part in his vision to bring justice and security to this world."

Kristal, Kuarzo and Krysopa couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"After that, I swore fidelity to him." Koralia continued. "I became his apprentice, and he show me the true path of salvation."

"Salvation?!" asked Kristal in surprise. "What are you talking about?! Exus will only bring pain and suffering!"

"Not at all, sis! His plan to protect this world…is perfect."

"You are deluded!"

"No. He just show me the truth."

Kristal realized something at that moment.

'The truth?' she though. 'That is…what Alan's cousin says. Sis…you are really under his spell…'

"After many years of training, I got my title." Koralia expressed. "And since I was not bound by the sealed spell, I can go in and out of the island whenever I wanted."

"Not…bound by the spell?" asked Kristal in confusion.

"That is right: everyone who was sealed by that spell can't get out of it. However, anyone who can get inside the seal can also go outside, so I can go out there."

"That means… you were…"

"Lord Exus' agent in the outside world." Said Karoita. "But I didn't had to act alone: Miss Exia was ALSO an agent from the outside world. After all, she was born outside the seal."

"What?!"

"That is enough, Koralia." Exia warned, although she was smiling a little. "They do not need to know MY story."

"As you wish, Miss Exia." Koralia expressed. "Anyway, I swore to follow Lord Exus will, and bring security to our world."

"Don't give us that crap!" Exclaimed Kuarzo with anger. "Exus is NOT a good person! He even tried to kill us! He has brainwashed Alan-kun's cousin and the Sage of Fire! He is doing the same to you!"

"You sisters just don't understand Lord Exus' view of the world, but once we destroy the 6 crystals and he returns to this realm, you will all see it!"

"Enough!" Kristal exclaimed. "We will save you from Exus, sister!"

"Yeah!" Krysopa said, as she too stood up and looked at her sister. "We will all save you! We swear it!"

"You girls have no idea." Said Koralia, as she looked at them. "Oh yeah, I didn't told you what my first mission was, right?"

"Your first mission?" asked Kristal.

"Yes. When I got this uniform, to prove my loyalty, I accepted one very important mission."

"What was your mission?"

"My first mission, was to follow Exia…and destroy the Ice Crystal."

The moment they said that, the 3 sister's eyes went wide open, as they realized what she was talking to.

"…No…" Kristal started, her eyes wide in surprise. "…No…you didn't…"

"No, you FUCKING DIDN'T!" Exclaimed Kuarzo in anger, as she realized what her 'sister' was implying.

"Yes, I did." Koralia expressed. "It was I who made that attack…that killed Krysopa's companion."

Kristal and Kuarzo had to take a step back after this revelation.

And then…they looked to their right, to see the younger of them…and what they saw broke them.

Krysopa's eyes were wide open, as tears began to roll through her cheeks. She was starting to shake, as her eyes couldn't stop staring at her recently found sister.

"…you mean…Allen-kun…he…"

"Died by my hands." Said Koralia with malice, causing the three sisters to gasp in surprise. "It was I who unleashed that spell that pierced that young mage's heart. It was actually towards you, 'sister'. I wanted you to feel the pain I felt in that darkness, the pain of having your heart being attacked by darkness, but... I guess, it was more fitting this way."

After hearing that, all strength left Krysopa, as she fell on her knees and looked down. She began to sob hard, as tears fell from her eyes into the floor. The idea that it was her own sister, that she though she lost years ago, the one who killed her loved one, fill her with despair.

"Allen-kun…Allen-kun was…he was…" She couldn't finish, as she began to cry right there. She didn't care that the fate of the world was at risk. At that moment, it was only her…

…and the pain she felt…

Seeing her young sister like that broke Kristal's heart. She began to feel the same sadness Krysopa is feeling, thanks to their bond. Along that, an uncontainable rage began to build up inside her heart.

… but it was not hers.

'Wait, then this rage is from…' She though in surprise.

"You are the same cry baby from years ago." Said Koralia with some disgust. "Pathetic."

"YOU BASTARD!"

To Kristal's surprise, Kuarzo immediately dashed towards Koralia and tried to hit her, not with a spell, but with her fists. She threw several punches, but Koralia managed to evade them easily, causing Kuarzo to get angrier.

"So it was your fault!" Exclaimed Kuarzo, as she kept punching. "It was because of you! Don't you know who you killed?! It was Krysopa's love! You don't know how much suffering and pain you have caused?! You killed her love one!"

Suddently, Koralia caught Kuarzo's fist with her hand. It was kind of surprising, but then again, she, being a Mahoro sister, has the same strength as Kristal and the others. She just smiled.

"No: I saved him."

"You WHAT?!" Asked Kuarzo in anger, as she tried to push Koralia, but she found herself being pushed back a little.

"You don't know, but everyone 'killed' by us, their Hearts will be saved by Lord Exus." Koralia commented. "He will collect all the Hearts of those fallen and, once he saves this world, he will return them all, to live in peace."

"What is this nonsense you are talking about?!" Kuarzo exploded in anger. "Exus is a murdered!"

"No! He is our savior!"

Koralia's aura exploded, easily overwhelming Kuarzo's, who was very tired and low on magic. Still, even if she was fully recovered, Koralia's aura would still overwhelm her.

"Lord Exus is the savior this world needs!" exclaimed Koralia, still gripping Kuarzo's fist. "He will guide us to a new age of peace!"

"You are out of your mind, sister!" Kuarzo exclaimed in anger. "He will only bring despair, like he did with Krysopa! He needs to be stopped!"

"No…he needs to have his path open." Koralia said, as she began charging magic energy on her right hand. "He needs to be free to do what he needs to do to the world. Because of that, he need us, his loyal servants! I will remove the obstacles from his path, no matter if they are my sisters!"

"Wait, Koralia!" Kristal exclaimed, as she felt the powerful aura in her hands.

"Now, little sister, die by my hands and be free!" Exclaimed Koralia, as she pushed the orb of energy on Kuarzo's stomach. "DARK BURNING: ARKANA!"

Koralia released a powerful spell into Kuarzo's stomach, causing great pain on the young mage. She coughed blood, as the powerful attack send her flying backwards, and she crashed hard on the wall behind them. As the spell exploded on her, Kuarzo's uniform was heavily damaged. Large parts of her top and parts of her skirt just blew up, leaving only a small cloth that prevented her breasts to be completely uncovered. Several wounds opened on her arms and legs, as her whole body felt a lot of pain.

Looking at this, the 3 males wanted to act.

"Damn it! Kuarzo!" Exclaimed Steve, as he dashed towards his blondie friend.

Strum and Vianto wanted to follow suit. However, before any of those 3 could even approach more, three figures appeared in front of them.

The Elemental Hero / Fire Sage Beatrix appeared in front of Vianto, while two Archfiends, the Bishop Malakar and the Shadowknight Vorder stood in front Spintas and Steve respectively.

"We will be your opponents, mages." Said Vorder, as he thrust his sword into Steve, who managed to evade it at last second.

"Get out of my way, skullface!" Exclaimed Steve, as he blocked the attack with his staff.

"Shall we begin, 'Master' Spellcaster?" Asked Malakar. "I have always wanted to test my dark magic against one of your kind."

"You will pay for all the pain you have caused, Archfiend." Spintas expressed, as his aura ignited.

Vianto clenched his teeth as his love one attacked him with a fireball.

"Stop it, Beatrix!" He exclaimed. "Please, return to her former self!"

"No, my love." Said the Burstinatrix, as she charged another fireball. "I will save you!"

While they were fighting, the spell that attacked Kuarzo finally faded away. The dark skinned blondie, who was being pushed against the wall because of it, began to fall to the ground, and she would have crashed on it, if it wasn't because her older sister, Kristal, caught her in the air. She held her young sister on her arms as they remained on the ground. The Apprentice Illusion Magician's hat fell close to them.

"Kuarzo! Kuarzo! Answer me!" Exclaimed Kristal, as she saw the blood on her sister's body. "Kuarzo!"

The mage didn't answer, but she stirred a little, showing she was still alive, which was a big relief for Kristal.

"Wow, she tougher than I thought." Koralia expressed, causing Kristal to look at her with anger. "I thought that attack would have killed her, since her magic was so low her Aura Shield was very depleted, but she managed to survive it. She is a strong one, I must admit."

"Koralia!" Kristal exclaimed. "Don't you understand what are you doing?! You are attacking your own family!"

"To save them, sis." Koralia said. "Once I kill you, Lord Exus will save your Heart and he will bring you back to this world, and then, once again, we will be together, sister."

"Exus has been filling you with LIES! You are under his spell, just like Alan's cousin, the Ice and Fire Sages, and the dragon Escamut!"

"Under a spell? No, sister: I have seen the light, the TRUTH that Lord Exus predicates! He will save us all! And for that, I will have to kill you all!"

Kristal just grunted in anger. It was hard to see and talk to her sister like that. Mo matter what she says, she can't convince Koralia that what she was doing is wrong.

'Is…is this how Alan feels when he talks to his cousin?' She though. 'I…I need to save her. A Dispel magic directly to the head…but a strong one! I need to…'

"…onee…san…"

Kristal stopped thinking and looked down, seeing that Kuarzo opened her eyes a little.

"Kuarzo!" Kristal expressed. "Don't worry! I will heal you and-"

"Oneesan…protect…Krysopa-chan…"

Kristal blinked in confusion, but at the same time she knew exactly what her sister meant.

"Krysopa-chan…she has suffered…a lot…" Kuarzo said lowly. "…I don't…want to…see her…cry…again…" She said, raising her right hand. "Kristal oneesan…protect…Krysopa-chan…"

Kristal grabbed Kuarzo's hand and nodded.

"I will, sis." Kristal expressed. "I will protect Krysopa-chan and save Koralia from that spell. You rest a little."

Kuarzo smiled…before she passed her remaining energy to Kristal through her hands, which surprised her.

"Kuarzo…"

"Just…give Koralia a good punch from me…right, oneesan?" Kuarzo said.

"…I will, sis. You just rest and leave it to me. You need to recover your energy. After all, you want to keep hugging Alan, more, right?"

"Y-yeah, I want to…" Kuarzo said weakly. "…but if I can't…promise me… you will press your breasts… on his face constantly for me… ok, sis?"

Kristal blinked in confusion, before blushing a little.

"…That you can do yourself once you recover, sis." Kristal expressed.

"hehe…that I will do…but just promise me…just in case…"

"…I promise…"

"G-great…" Kuarzo said. "Go…and kick our sister's butt, oneesan."

"…Don't worry." Kristal said, as she let Kuarzo on the ground. "I will, sis…"

Leaving Kuarzo on the ground so she can rest, Kristal stood up and began to walk forward. As she passed Krysopa, the young mage quickly grabbed Kristal skirt, causing her to stop.

"Kristal neesan…d-don't fight Koralia, please." The young mage said weakly. Kristal, however, didn't look at her.

"I have too, Krysopa." Kristal said. "I HAVE to fight her."

"…please…I…I don't want…to lose anyone else…"

Kristal stood silent. She understands Krysopa's pain and fear of losing another love one. She not only lost her love one, by the hands of a sister that she long though have died, but she was just about to lost another of her sister by the hands of the same sister. She is afraid of seeing anyone else dying.

"Sis… I know what you are feeling." Kristal said, looking forward with determination. "But…I HAVE to fight her."

"…why?" Krysopa asked weakly, as more tears escape from her eyes.

"…because it pains me to know that one of our sisters is being manipulated to do those horrible acts. I… I can't… I can't stay and do nothing while Koralia is killing innocent people! I know in, her Heart, she is in pain. I have to free her!"

"…Kristal oneesan…"

"Don't worry, Krysopa. I will be fine. You go back and protect Kuarzo. I need you to be strong for her…and for all of us."

"…R-right…"

Kristal continued to walk forward, and after a few moments, she stood in front of Koralia, separated from her by a few meters.

"So, sister Kristal." Koralia started. "Ready to be saved?"

"No." Kristal answered, as her aura began to flare up. "It is I who will save you from the darkness!"

"Can you do it? Even with Kuarzo's energy, you are still very weak, and I am completely fresh. I will beat you up."

"Sorry, but I WONT lose here!"

"Then…show me how strong you are, sister!" Exclaimed Koralia, as she extended her right arm forward. "FIRA!"

A ball of fire emerged from Koralia's arm and towards Kristal, who did the exact same.

"BLIZZARA!"

From Kristal's hand, a ball of ice wind emerged and flew forwards. Both the ice and fire ball clashed, creating a large explosion. However, after a few seconds, and for Kristal's surprise, the ball of fire emerged from the dust created by the explosion, and hit her hard on the stomach, pushing her back several meters.

"Kristal oneesan!" Exclaimed Krysopa, who moved to be on Kuarzo's side.

Kristal stood up, holding her stomach, as she could still feel the heat of the attack. Her magic power was still low, so even her Aura Shield was very weakened. She REALLY felt those flames.

"Told you, Kristal: your magic power is so low." Expressed Koralia. "You can use spells, but they are weaker than what they are used to. You stand no chance against me, sister."

"We'll see about that!" Kristal exclaimed, as she began to dash towards her. "THUNDARA!"

"You fool." Koralia said, as she extended her left hand forward. "REFLERA!"

The lightning bolts that emerged from Kristal's left hand hit and were stopped by a dome of hexagons made of light. After a few seconds, the dome exploded, sending light explosions to Kristal's direction. However, for Koralia's surprise, the Kristal that was hit by the light explosions disappeared.

"What? An illusion?" she asked. "Where is sh-?"

Suddently, Koralia looked up, and saw Kristal in the air, and in between her hands was some kind of energy.

A spell that she didn't knew.

"Take this! SHADOW BALL!"

Kristal released the ball of darkness that was in her hands, and it flew erratically towards Koralia.

"What the hell?!" Koralia asked in surprise, before she ignited her aura and raised her hands.

To Kristal's surprise, Koralia caught the ball of darkness, although it was so strong that it pushed her back, and threaten her to overwhelm her. However, after igniting her aura to her max, Koralia managed to resist it, and so, after a few seconds, the ball of darkness consumed all the energy it had and disappeared.

"…It can't be." Kristal said, as she landed on her knees after releasing that attack. "…I used all of my energy in that…"

"Wow, sister Kristal, you surprised me." Koralia said. "Using all of your energy on a spell that I didn't knew on the hopes to catch me off guard. And not only that: that spell you did…it was VERY close to the darkness."

"Indeed." Exia commented. "I like that one. Maybe I will try and use it one day myself."

Kristal began to breathe deeply. That spell took almost all of her energy, and she was getting close to depleted. She didn't have any time to rest since the battle with the Black Dragon Escamut, and so, her magic energy was so low. The little energy Kuarzo gave her was…really nothing, as Kuarzo was as tired as her. But not only that…

Koralia was WAY stronger than she though.

"You get it, right?" asked Koralia. "Did you really though I would be just as strong as you, when Lord Exus blessed me with dark energies and a rigorous training? No, I am way stronger than you, Kristal. Even if you were completely healed, I would have beaten you and Kuarzo."

This was bad. She had no potion or ether left. Using Cura would heal her wounds but her magic energy would still be low. She could use Regen and try to resist but… with how strong Koralia is, she had no chance.

"Damn it… I can't lose!" Kristal exclaimed, as she stood up again.

"You stand no chance, Kristal!" Koralia exclaimed. "Face it! You will not defeat me alone!"

"She is not alone, sister!"

Kristal, Koralia, and everyone from the room looked at one of the 4 doors, where they saw three mages were entering the chamber. It was Duncan, Karoita and Kainita.

"Oh, boy, the reinforces have arrived." Exia mocked. "Two more sisters, Koralia."

"I can see that." Koralia expressed, before looking at the newcomers. "Hello there, sister Karoita, Kainita. It's good to see you all again. You don't seem surprised, at all."

"Oh, believe me, we are surprised, 'sister'." Karoita expressed, looking at the other sister with some anger. "But we heard everything you said, from the moment you appeared."

"Oh? May I ask HOW?!"

"Our Masters foresaw some problems the moment the dragon Escamut told us this Temple was like a dungeon. Before we even took a step inside, they used a small spell between them so that we could hear what happened if we were to split into groups. The moment Master Spintas and Vianto arrived here, they activated that spell, so there was a way for us to hear what was going on, as long as we were with Master Duncan."

"Was that wise? You all are low on magic, so…"

"A small price to know what happen to our companions in case we get separated."

"Well, congrats! Now you know what happen and why I need to kill you all. It's that, or you come with us and let Lord Exus told you his truth."

"No thanks, sister. I don't want to be mind controlled by anyone."

"Mind controlled? No, sister. I have seen the tru-"

"Kainita?"

The Silent Magician Kainita nodded and took a step forward. She closed her eyes, before he opened them again, as they turned white. She looked deeply into Koralia's eyes, trying to search for something…and it was easy to find.

… the darkness in her eyes.

"There is no doubt." Kainita expressed, as she turned to look at Karoita. "Sister Koralia is under the spell of Exus, the same spell that affected Alan-kun, Alan's cousin and the dragon Escamut. She is being controlled."

"Still saying I am controlled?" asked Koralia with some anger.

"Well you are, sis." Karoita expressed. "Kainita is an expert in seeing through illusion spells. You are under a combination of illusion and mind control. Heck, I don't know if you are even understanding what we are saying or you are hearing something different."

"I hear you completely fine, sister. But seems you will need some convincing. I will make you see the light of Lord Exus!"

"I'll like to see you try, sister!" Karoita expressed, getting on guard.

"Oh, I will. However, I just heard something…interesting." Koralia said, before looking at the Silent Magician. "Sister Kainita."

"Yes?"

"Just a moment ago, when you were saying about me being 'mind controlled' you said…something."

"Something?" Asked Kainita in confusion.

"Yes, something. A name…with a –kun at the end. What was his name again?"

Kainita opened her eyes in confusion.

"What about Alan-kun?" asked Kainita.

"That name, Alan. I heard sister Kuarzo saying the same name with the –kun at the end." Koralia said. "He is the Keyblade Champion, isn't it? This Alan boy…is someone important to you and Kuarzo…right?"

Kainita didn't liked where this was going.

"…what about it?" the silver haired girl asked.

"Well…" Koralia started. "One of our missions is to capture the Keyblade Champion and bring him with Lord Exus, so, when I see him, I will capture him too, and will bring him with m-"

"NO!"

Everyone turned to look back, to see the young mage Krysopa, who was kneeling besides Kuarzo, looking at Koralia in despair.

"Leave Alan-kun alone! He has nothing to do with this!" Exclaimed the green haired girl, as she felt tears pouring from her eyes.

"Oh my!" Koralia expressed. "Even little Krysopa seems to like that boy! That human has really made some impact in you all, sisters. What? Are Kristal and Karoita in love with him too?"

The two mentioned looked at Koralia sternly, and this told her all she needed.

"Very interesting." Koralia said. "So…if I save him, you will come with him too. That settles it: I will capture him when I see him!"

"We will not let you!" Exclaimed Kristal in anger. "He…he is not only someone important to us, but he also represents the hope of this world. We will not let you corrupt him with darkness!"

"Oh? And what will you do, Kristal? You are too weak!"

"That is why she has her sisters." Karoita said, as she and Kainita stood beside Kristal. "If you attack one, you will have to face all of us!"

"Don't you forget? I am also your sister, Karoita."

"Yes, but you are under Exus influence!" Exclaimed Kainita, the Silent Magician. "Sis, we will save you. I swear it!"

"Well then…come and try, sisters."

Kristal, Karoita and Kainita stood firmly, as their auras flared. They knew they were at a disadvantage, as even if the three of them face Koralia, she was fully powered, and stronger than them. They had to use all of their strength.

Then, a fourth one joined them, standing behind Kainita.

"K-Krysopa?" asked Kainita when she noticed the younger mage. "What are you-?"

"I-I will fight too!" said Krysopa, who's face still had the trails of her tears. "I will join you, sisters."

"But Krysopa, you-" Karoita started, but was interrupted by the green haired girl.

"Koralia killed Allen-kun…" she said, weeping a little as she said that. "But it was because she is being controlled. I…I have to fight and help her, or else, Alan-kun will suffer too. I…I can't let that happen!"

"...You are going to be ok, Krysopa?" Kristal asked, looking at her from the corner of her eye.

"…I will, sis. Let me fight! I want to protect Alan-kun and save Koralia oneesan. Please!"

Hearing this, Kristal just smiled.

"We count on you, Krysopa." Kristal said. "Let's save sister Koralia…together."

"Yes!" Krysopa expressed.

At this, Koralia just stood still. Somewhere in the depths of her heart she felt a sting, a small stab when she saw all her sisters trying to fight her. But it wasn't because she felt betrayed…

…it was because she felt sad…

However, Koralia's conscious mind ignored this feeling, and looked at her sisters with malice.

"It doesn't matter if there are 4 or 6 or 10 of you, sisters. You will NOT defeat me!" Koralia exclaimed, as she ignited her own aura. "Come! I will save you all!"

Kristal looked at her corrupted sister, and sighed. She couldn't believe she will have to fight one of them, but it was necessary. She was determinated, no one would stop her.

She will save… her sister…

"Let's go, sisters!"

"Yeah!"

The four of them jumped in different directions, all forward to try and surround Koralia. They had spells on their hands and then toss them towards her corrupted sister…

…who just smiled…

…as her heart weep in despair…

Author Notes:

AND DONE! What do you think?

So, then idea of an 'Evil Kristal' was played with in the old version of the fanfic, but it was a one-chapter villian. This time, I decided to make her a sister controlled by Exus instead of being a Kristal possessed. Because of Exus magic, everything she thinks is twisted, hence why she thinks killing people equals salvation. then again, what is Exus doing with the hearts of those his minions kill?

And yes, she is the one who killed Krysopa's love one. Originally it was going to be Exia, but I think this will make it more tragic, being that the killer is one of her missing sisters, and not by their own choice. Now they cant have their revenge on her...but they can free her. Would they be able to do so?

So...what will happen? You will see soon!

Next chapter will be in two weeks. Im thinking Monday, but as usual, it could be during any day of the week, depending on how busy I am.

Anyway, see ya next time!

See ya!
