Chapter 39: Birds VS Mercenaries
[As the gang continues to climb the tower, Emira and Edric are left to fight off the team of Pyro and Mohawk.]
[Mohawk jumps into the air, and attempts to stab Emira with her Dagger, Edric blocks the blade with his leg, surprisingly it didn't go through his skin as he swiftly flung the knife into the corner of the room]
Mohawk: You two just couldn't resist a rematch huh?
Edric: Not just a rematch!
[Edric performs an ax kick onto Mohawk's head, she protects herself, only to be met by Emira's flame]
Emira: We're aiming to win this time!
[Emira and Mohawk exchange a few hits to one another, with Mohawk being the faster combatant, she gets a few cuts onto the surface of Emira's Skin]
Emira: *gasp*
[Emira releases a flame wave pushing her opponent back]
Mohawk: What, a few cuts aren't gonna do you any harm?!
[Pyro steps beside her and launches a huge ball of flames at the twins]
Edric: Not gonna happen!
[Edric generates enough lightning to counter the ball causing an explosion across the room]
[The smoke made it difficult to see for the Blight Twins, Edric tried to get it out of the way, his eyes widened when he noticed the Silhouette emerging in front of him, Edric kicked it out of the way but felt nothing. As he looks around the area, he could hear Mohawk chuckle from all sides, he turns to Emira who is raring to get back into the fight, she immediately nods at him, Edric knew what he needed to do, He begin to perform the Flare to generate a whirlwind that blows smoke away. Emira sees Mohawk coming from above, and she immediately guards her brother with a fire fan]
Mohawk: You're right where I want you!
[Mohawk closes in on her ear to whisper, Emira then covers her ears to avoid the events that happened before, leaving her open and giving Pyro a clear shot]
Pyro: Burn!
[Pyro launches dozens of fire balls at the Eldest Blight, while some manage to land on impact, more lightning balls defend it]
Pyro: What?!
[Pyro looks ahead and is hit in the face]
Pyro: GAH!
[Pyro rubs his face and looks Edric who launches (or kicks) two more his way]
Pyro: Really?
[Pyro takes the hits and immediately goes after Edric]
Emira: No you don't!
[Emira swoops in from above and smashes Pyro into the ground]
Pyro: You honestly think you two could beat us! After our last encounter?
[Emira flies up once more, gearing up for another dive]
Emira: That's because we weren't prepared!
[Before Emira could swoop down, she feels a jolt of lightning hit her in the stomach causing Emira to crash onto the floor]
Emira: What the heck?!
[She gets up and sees Edric beginning to attack her without hesitation]
Emira: Ed! What's wrong with you?!
[She notices his eyes]
Mohawk: Yeah, while you were distracted with Pyro, I took it upon myself to get your brother to do our dirty work!
[Edric speeds up and runs circles around his sister]
Emira: ED! SNAP OUT OF IT!
[Emira attempts to summon her flames, but has no luck in creating any]
Emira: What?!
[Mohawk begins to make a snide comment]
Mohawk: FYI, the vortex sucks away the oxygen! No oxygen means your flames won't work! You know, just to make this even more fun!
[Mohawk joins Edric into making the vortex stronger. Emira begins to lose oxygen and falls on her knees]
Emira: (DAMMIT! I CAN'T BREATHE! GOTTA DO SOMETHING!, anything!...Ed please snap...out of it...)
[Emira faints for a bit as her memories begin to flash before her eyes]
[From the moment she was born, Emira knew one thing for sure, she had to share her life with her twin brother. Growing up the two got into various shenanigans, pranking adults, kids their age, even their younger sister. Even when they did have friends they chose, their parents told them that Blights only associate with the strong forcing them to cut ties with the "weaklings" that hold them back]
[In their room, Edric begins to cry, sits besides him to console her younger brother]
Edric: Is it always going to be like this?
Emira: Like what?
Edric: Are we just going to keep letting go of everyone that has shown an ounce of meaning to our lives? Just because Mom and Dad don't approve!
[Emira pats his back]
Emira: I don't think we should see it that way.
[Edric turns his head and asks Emira a question]
Edric: How can you be sure?
[Emira smiles gently and hugs him]
Emira: No matter how many people Mom and Dad force out of our lives, you know who we still have?
Edric: Mittens?
[Emira chuckles a little bit]
Emira: Technically, but as long as the both of us are alive and well, we'll always be together, because if there is anything in this world that I fear the most, it's losing my awesome twin brother.
[Edric smiles a bit]
Edric: Really?
[Emira pokes Edric face and uses her two fingers to make her brother's smile bigger]
Emira: Just stick with me and I know we'll be fine. From this point it's us against the world, okay?
[Edric hugs his twin, as she hugs him back, years later they take care of Amity as she cuts ties with Willow, the years go by and we enter the moment the Blight Siblings help Luz train to fight Grom]
Edric: You wanna say our deepest fears, one...two...
[At the same time]
Edric: being alone forever!
Emira: Being stuck with you forever.
[Edric frowns, and Grom goes on with them being stood up by their dates]
Edric: So...I guess you're stuck with me again? Well we have pranked numerous people throughout the school, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is a way for them to get back at us..
[Edric stops and notices Emira is crying]
Edric: Is everything okay?
[Emira wipes her tears]
Emira: It's just, I was really looking forward to Grom, but our dates didn't show up, our night was ruined, and now it's just us again. I just wanted tonight to be perfect.
[Edric then gets up and gives her a hand]
Edric: I mean, there is still music, playing, do ya wanna dance with me?
Emira: Dancing with my brother?
[Edric chuckles]
Edric: Come on, remember what you told me.
[Edric puts his fingers on Emira faces and forms a smile]
Edric: It's us against the world, so just stick with me and you'll be fine.
[he takes his fingers off]
Edric: Now are we gonna do this or what?
[Emira wipes all her tears and both leave the bench to dance. As they slow dance]
Emira: You know, one day we won't be able to hang out as much as we used to. We'll both get married, and maybe start families of our own.
Edric: Funny assuming someone would wanna marry you.
[Emira steps on Edric's foot]
Edric: Okay okay, maybe you'll curse 3 out of five suitors!
Emira: Assuming you don't curse them first.
[Both begin to laugh]
[Back in the present time, Emira lies on her stomach, with the thought of her brother being controlled like that, she knew she couldn't stand by and let it happen.]
[She slowly gets back up and walks to the edge of the vortex]
Emira: Gotta time this right!
[Emira wobbles but forces herself to keep place]
Kotoha: (When it comes to someone circling you, just give them a good tackle at the edge, always comes in handy)
[Emira closes her eyes and crouches down, slowly waiting for the right moment, in 3 beats, her eyes shot open and hurled herself, tackling into Edric, dropping them both to the ground and breaking the vortex]
Emira: Sorry about this Edric!
[Emira generates a huge flame from her hand and smacks him in the head]
Emira: PHOENIX FIRE FIST!
[The blow was hard enough to snap him out of it]
Edric: AGH! GET OFF OF ME! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!
[Emira gets him up and squeezes him tightly]
Emira: EDRIC IT'S OKAY, YOU'RE OKAY!
[Edric calms down little by little, until Emira pokes his face and forces a smile]
Emira: Remember, in moments like this! It's us against the world! So stick by me and we'll win this fight!
[Edric knew that Emira wasn't controlled, knowing his sister saved him meant a lot to him]
Emira: Are you and I gonna finish this or what?
[Edric nods]
Edric: Let's get it done!
Emira: OUR WAY!
Pyro: He broke free!
Mohawk: THEN DO SOMETHING!
[Pyro activates his arm cannons!]
Pyro: Scanning targets!
[Edric and Emira form a spell circle together to create fire and Lightning Chain to hold the big man down]
Mohawk: You think Magic is gonna help you this time! Then you thought wrong!
[Mohawk dashes at the two, but is intercepted by Edric]
Edric: From this point we're going all out!
[Edric and Mohawk move across the room like pinballs in a pinball machine crashing into the wall and themselves entirely]
[Emira releases her chain and attacks Pyro]
Pyro: You surprise me Ms. Blight!
Emira: I'm just getting started!
[Emira draws a spell circle and creates flaming objects (Flaming sword and boxing gloves) Emira grabs the sword and slashes Pyro, Pyro punches back twice, once in the stomach, and another to the face, Emira counters with the boxing gloves smacking him in the same areas]
[She creates Flame fans and dances around the Machine, Pyro gets up and targets her once more but is baffled by the many illusions of herself]
Pyro: AGH! ENOUGH OF THIS!
[Pyro rapidly fire multiple balls of flame, only poofing away the illusion clones]
Pyro: WHAT?!
[Mohawk on the other hand is keeping up with Edric]
Mohawk: You Blights are just so infuriating!
Edric: Our parents are a pain in the ass!
[Edric spins his arm and fire a lightning bolt]
[Mohawk dodges]
Edric: But we're the youngest and greatest tricksters in the entire Isles itself!
[Mohawk mockingly laughs at that remark]
Mohawk: Youngest and Greatest?! You couldn't even compete with the likes of me!
[Suddenly a Thunderbolt in the shape of an Anvil came falling from the sky]
Mohawk: WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?!
[Edric laughs]
Edric: Suck on this bitch!
[Edric zooms across the room in the same way during their fight, while doing so more objects fall from the sky, throwing Mohawk off guard]
Mohawk: You really think something like this can distract me!
[Mohawk tackles Edric and activates her fragment]
Mohawk: Then let's see how controlling you a second time helps you!
[Mohawk begins to whisper into his ear, but then notices there is no effect]
Mohawk: WHAT?!
[Edric smiles and poofs away, revealing it to be just an illusion]
Mohawk: You little!
[Edric kicks her in the face]
Edric: Hey Em! I think it's time to end this don't you think?!
Emira: HELL YEAH!
[Both Summon their Spirit Power]
Emira: Phoenix! Lend me your power!
[A Fire as big and hot as the sun blocks their enemies means of escape]
Emira: Fire Fist! Flame Nova!
[Emira launches the ball, but Pyro pushes it back]
Edric: You're not getting away that easily! Thunderbird! Lend me your power!
[The Thunderbird summons the most enormous bolt of Lightning you can imagine, landing on Edric his speed increases 100 times than it normally does]
Edric: Thunder Leg!
[Edric summons illusions clones with the exact speed, one that circles them, while making the others bounce off each other and crashing their kicks into their opponents]
Edric: Quintuple Crash!
[All five illusions disappear as soon as Pyro drops his guard]
[Edric gets out of the way so the Flame Nova can take its effect, blasting them both away]
[Edric and Emira cheer and are about to hug, but Pyro yells in the air as he begins to rage]
Pyro: You two honestly think it's over!
Edric: That wasn't enough!
Emira: You have gotta be kidding me!
Pyro: Oh we were just getting started!
[Pyro launches himself at the twins and lariats the both of them into the ground, he lifts them up and throws them into a corner]
Pyro: When I first laid eyes on the both of you, I thought you'd be well trained fighters that serve well! But after seeing your performance! I see that you both show no honor in the field of battle!
[Pyro begins to charge up]
Pyro: Dirty tactics! Useless pranks! You both continue to impress yet utterly disappoint me! It just goes to show that people like you don't deserve any respect in this multiverse! But don't worry!
[Pyro raises his arms, and clasps his hands together]
Pyro: I'll make sure that they forget you! Pyro Jack! Lend me your aid!
[Pyro Jack emerges from his owner! And grants him more firepower than ever, his mechanical arms begin to unlock revealing several types of cannons, guns and missile launchers the reticle on his mask locks on The twins]
Pyro: Target lock!
[The Fire begins heat itself up]
Pyro: Burning Annihilation! Eliminate!
[Pyro releases all the energy he has hurtling towards the Blights as fast as light, the siblings brace themselves for impact accepting their death, with their eyes closed and all hope lost, all that was heard as a simple gunshot and crackle in the air]
Edric: Are we dead?!
[both of them open their eyes and notice the Giant Block of ice that was once a Burning Flare]
Emira: What the hell?!
[Pyro shocked as well has eyes all over the battlefield]
Pyro: WHO DID THIS?! SHOW YOURSELF!
[With a tap of a finger on the ice, the block shatter into crystals and snow falling all over the area]
Emira: NO WAY!
[Footsteps going towards the Blights Twins, Emira and Edric can't believe their eyes]
Edric: What the?!
[Spinning a gun on her finger, she grabs it by the handle, and tosses it to the ground, forcing it to break]
Edric: You have gotta be kidding me?!
[Staring at the super hero type costume it makes its way from the foot up revealing it be none other, than Boscha herself]
Boscha: What the heck are you losers doing here?!
Emira: BOSCHA?!
[Coco catches up to her student]
Coco: Boscha, how many times do I have to tell you to stop it with the flashy entrances?! Your teammates almost got killed!
Edric: COCO?!
Coco: Hello there! Nice to see you two again!
Emira: How did you two even get here?
[Coco begins to treat their wounds]
Coco: Don't worry about that, right now, we have enemies to take care of.
[Mohawk gets up from the attack made by Ed and Em]
Mohawk: Son of a bitch! What's going on?! And who the hell is that?!
[Boscha grins like a madman]
Boscha: Hey Coco! Take care of these pathetic excuses for fighters! I'll handle them!
[Coco giggles]
Coco: You could have worded it better, but I guess you've been dying to fight! Very well then! You're clear to engage!
[Boscha's smile widens as she begins to laugh]
Boscha: Now I can go all out! SPIRIT POWER!
[Boscha's white aura explodes with an endangering presence]
Pyro: Interesting!
[Boscha, top eye opens and reveals it to be Dark Blue and red]
Boscha: OLD MAN WINTER! JACK FROST!
[The Spirit Emerges revealing a lanky armed demon jester, with white skin and blue clothing, holding a wooden staff that surrounds his summoner in Stalagmites of ice]
[Mohawk and Pyro gearing up for another fight Boscha gets their attention]
Boscha: Seeing how you guys fought, I can tell you have a lot of game!
[Boscha smiles evilly and cracks her knuckles]
Boscha: But now that I'm here! You're in for a world of hurt!
[Boscha summons her guns and points them at her two targets]
Boscha: Now think fast!
[Boscha fire a bullet and it shatters the screen]
END!
