Yay! Thanx to my reviewers. What would I do without ya? And by the way, the
two groups teaming up was my "original idea". But then it actually
happened. Oh well. Anyway here's chapter 17
Blurbs of color whirled past them as they spun forth to the aerie of the Mars Lighthouse. Their adventure flashed before each of their minds, playing like a movie. Suddenly, all the movement and the spinning stopped abruptly. They looked ahead, and peered into the monstrous chasm before them that was the Mars beacon. They had to find some way to block it from being lit. The entire crew surrounded it. And only moments later, Saturos and Sastroni appeared, in a flash of color and movement, just as the party did. While Saturos looked completely mortified that he was going to have to face them for a third time, Sastroni looked simply amused. It had seemed that she had planned for this to happen. She looked around, from Felix to Isaac, and everyone in between, and smiled.
"Get out of the way" She said in a low voice.
"Never" Isaac said back in an equally low tone.
"Get out of the way, or I will MAKE you get out of the way." She said, more loudly.
"I'd like to see you try Sastroni. Did you want another beating?" Felix cut in.
"You were lucky to survive the first encounter, but I promise it wont happen again." She said. And then, she raised her hand, but didn't say anything, "This is your last chance. Get out of the way or you will all perish." She said simply. And so with that, her body emitted Psynergetic rings, and she said the word " Cataclysm " And millions of fireballs hit them, but unlike their first encounter, (it had pretty much felled them all) they were barely affected. This surprised Sastroni, and a look of nervousness overtook her face. With that, she blasted Garet with Pure death, and although it felled him, She left herself open, which everyone seized the opportunity to launch their most powerful attacks.
"Annihilation!" "Hell's Inferno!" "Spark Plasma!" "Mega Tundra!"
She was devastated, flew backwards and dropped to her knees. At this moment, everyone used their best summons, as they had prepared them before the battle. And as the gods returned to their heavenly haunts, Sastroni fell to her knees, and then collapsed totally. She was felled.
The party erupted into a flurry of cheers. They had stopped the lighting of the Mars lighthouse. All of them, that is, except for Isaac. He knew it was too easy. The attacks may have succumbed her, but Saturos still had that star. They hadn't won. Not by a long shot. Just as Isaac was about to notify the group, Saturos did exactly what Isaac had expected him to do: chucked the Mars Star towards the beacon as hard as he could. Isaac dove in front of it, but he was far too late. The Star plummeted down into the hole, clinging and clanging all the way down. They were as good as defeated. Without surprise, or any of their summons, they certainly wouldn't have the same attack strength. And Sastroni and Saturos' power would double, because the beacon of fire would replenish their psynergy. This was about to become the most intense task ever laid upon any being in Weyard. But before Sastroni could get up, Isaac and Felix dove straight at Saturos, and swung their mighty weapons. Both sliced him into intense bleeding, but the energy rippling off the lighthouse healed the wounds instantaneously. He grinned at them, and pointed to his stomach as though they hadn't noticed the repair that had just occurred. They immediately tried again to cut him, but he was again healed. Isaac stepped back a few paces, but Felix kept slashing. At this point, Sastroni regained her feet. And Isaac's stomach was filled with a feeling he hadn't felt in a very, very long time. It was fear. Not just butterflies, but gut ripping fear. His voice shook and broke as he tried to draw their attention to the horror that was taking place. But it was just about to become worse. The amulet around Sastroni's neck began to glow, and then her entire body turned deep blood red, and a large suction cup-like thing shot out from her stomach. It clamped its jaws a few times, and then turned to Saturos. He had a look of deep satisfaction appeared across his face; He spread out his arms, slightly tilted back his head, and closed his eyes. Then, he floated in the air, and then jerked suddenly so that his body was aiming in the direction of his daughter, and flew into the mouth of the leech. It closed, and drew into her body momentarily, as though savoring a tasty meal, and then reared out again, this time pointing at Garet. Sastroni was becoming less red by the minute; but with Saturos added into her she had sprouted an extra 2 arms. For trapping other victims, thought Isaac. Just as Isaac had predicted, she flew at him, and pounced using her new arms as pincers. The suction cup opened more and more, until it was large enough to swallow him hole, but before she had the chance, Isaac, Felix, Jenna and Mia all group attacked her and she flew off him. Angrily, she stood up, and muttered the words "pure death" in a voice totally unlike her own. This was the purpose of the amulet. To morph her into the ultimate destruction machine. The ray of flame and black glowing light struck Garet clear-cut, as though he hadn't even seen it. She took another plunge at him, and he too was swallowed into the murderous abyss. Sastroni was positively beaming, as she grew another 6 feet into the air, sprouted a new set of pincers, and turned her sights on Jenna. But she had gone far enough already; everyone was ready to strike, hatred burning in his or her vision. They also noticed that Sastroni hardly looked human. She had a huge set of gaping jaws, which sprouted awkwardly out of a scaly monstrous looking face. Her body was hunched, and she towered over the rest of them like a skyscraper. The all preformed their best psynergies, along with a few regular strikes to the fastest ones. But this had a minor effect, and she trudged towards Jenna. This was probably the last piece of the puzzle Sastroni needed to complete her powers. Jenna hid herself in behind Brady; She was shaking with fear. Brady took stance, and attacked with all his might. But Sastroni grabbed him in midair, bit him across the stomach, and hurled him down back to the ground. Jenna tried to run away, but she had no chance, Sastroni pinned her to the ground, and the leech closed around her body; She was consumed. Sastroni grew several more feet, and more arms came stretching out. Her face turned the same pale gray color like all the other people from her hometown. She was again able to speak full sentences and looked at them like ants, trying to decide whom to squash first. It turned out that this choice was Mia. Their healer. Mia tried to block it, but Sastroni's psynergy had increased 3 fold; Mia was felled instantly. Isaac and Felix glared up, but they had no clue on how to destroy her. The both futilely tried using several kinds of djinn, but each proved quite ineffective. Once they had enough on standby, they unleashed their summons at the same time: The effects combined did damage her, but not nearly as much as they expected. Sastroni raised her scythe; it had magnified with her body, and explained to them what had occurred.
"As you can see, my father's plan has now been completed. I have absorbed enough fire adepts to make my size and power increase. I have also taken away part of your team. Surrender now, and I may consider letting you serve me for eternity." She said simply. But Isaac was infuriated. He felt insulted. She hadn't won the battle yet. So he raised his Demon Axe, His Trusty Weapon since before the Venus Lighthouse. He had to attacks. He leapt up, and swung, slicing a large chunk of her eye out. He had wondered why she hadn't defended, but tall of a sudden he realized why. The Golden Sun had risen. It shone in her eyes, blinding her temporarily, and now she was partially blinded permanently. They hacked away at her feet, as she stumbled around, casting as many psynergies as she knew. Unfortunately, Since Sheba and Ivan had joined in on the hacking; they were both felled by several stray attacks. Isaac and Felix were all that remained. But soon afterwards, Sastroni had regained her eyesight. She slashed with her scythe, trying desperately to hack their heads off. But with counter swings and careful usage of psynergy, they were able to whittle down her HP and not die themselves. The clang of metal striking and psynergy rings flying in every direction was echoing into the new broke dawn for an hour, until, finally, they began to run low on energy and sluggishly defending. Sastroni seized this opportunity to claw Felix across the face, then the stomach, and kicked him backwards. She then, to Isaac's extreme horror, stepped on him and crushed what was possibly every bone in his body. But the next scene, Isaac will have never forgotten for the rest of his life. Felix screeching in pain, beginning to cry, and then Sastroni tossed his limp form clear off the lighthouse. Time itself stopped. He saw Felix slowly falling through the air, the expression of death cut across his face. He saw him disappear from view, and then looked over at the monstrous beast that had just murdered one of his best friends. And he roared with all his might, it must have been heard all across weyard.
"FELIX! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Tears streaming down his face, he glared with all his hate towards Sastroni. He didn't care if he was the only one against the most powerful thing ever. He didn't care that he was going to die. He just wanted to cause her as much pain as he possibly could while he was still on weyard. It was at this moment that the most glorious thing happened. Perhaps it was because of his pure nobility, or perhaps it was the great loss he had just suffered. But it was the most likely scenario, the legends. The one with two sides the their soul. He had been with Saturos and Menardi for weeks. This was the dark half. The rest of the quest was his light half. But at this moment, the Golden sun shone a beam of pure alchemy into Isaacs's heart. This filled him with energy, but not only that, he now possessed the greatest power. The only thing that could destroy Sastroni. And so he entered intense sword combat with the evilest beast in the universe. Sparks showering everywhere, he pressed onward, forcing her back, and back, until she was hanging near the edge of the lighthouse. This was his chance. He had to use the power to destroy her. He bellowed the words into the suddenly blackened sky:
"ELEMENTAL SMASH!!!!"
And with that, he dove upon her, and swung his weapon, which was blazing with the purified essence of each element. They all stuck home, and she toppled off the top of the lighthouse, the crystals on her chest, which contained Jenna and Garet, had been shattered, and they were restored to life. But Isaac's battle wasn't over yet; He left Jenna to heal the others while he used another newfound technique to ride to the bottom (Wind rider")
He scoured the trees below for the smaller Sastroni. He found her, lying in a crumpled heap, next to her father. Isaac removed the amulet from her neck, and then finished the pair the same way Menardi had perished. At the hands of the Demon Axe. He said a prayer for Felix, and then turned around. He was frozen in place. Standing right in front of him. Isaac couldn't believe his eyes. There was no way it was possible. And yet he looked upon the person standing in bloody tatters right before his eyes.
