Part 28
Sasarai's Battle
Sasarai, Dios, Thomas and Cecile make their way down the hallway where the True Earth Rune is. Sasarai could sense that something was not right. At the end of the hall, Sasarai can see Luc waiting for him.
Luc- I've been waiting for you, elder brother.
Sasarai- It's over, Luc. I'm sure you can sense the release of the other True Runes. Your plans are ruined. Give yourself up.
Luc- Mmm¼ yes, I can feel that the other True Runes have been reclaimed, but fare too late!
Dios- What are you saying?
Luc- Fool! I have already siphoned enough of the True Runes' energies into the ritual alter! More than enough to carry out my task! I shall have my way! This world will be free from these damn Runes!
Thomas- You can't! You'll destroy this continent!
Cecile- What are you thinking?
Luc- I know what I'm doing? The loss of one continent is the price to be paid to free the entire world from the chains it is ensnared in!
Dios- You selfish bastard! You have no right to be judge over our lives!
Luc- I don't expect you to understand, nor do I need you to. I'll let no one stop me!
Daggers come out of nowhere, flying right at Luc. Luc puts up a magic barrier and the dagger bounce off of it harmlessly.
Luc- Reveal yourself, Nash.
Nash- Aw! And I wanted to give you a surprise gift!
Luc- You do not amuse me!
Luc fires magical blast at Nash. Nash runs and dodges them while throwing daggers at Luc.
Nash- Temper, temper, Luc! You need to learn how to stay calm!
Luc- I've wasted enough time with you.
Luc uses the True Wind Rune to create small cyclone and picks up Nash and throws him into a wall.
Luc- Goodbye, Nash.
Luc lets loose a magic blast right at Nash to finish him. But at the last second, Thomas and Cecile run in front of Nash and takes the hit.
Thomas- Argh!
Cecile- Ahh!
Luc- That was quite stupid.
Thomas- (struggles to his feet) Say what you want, but I'm not going to stand around while you're about to kill someone.
Cecile- (struggles to stand with Thomas) And I promised to protect Master Thomas. No matter what!
Luc- Get out of the way!
Thomas and Cecile- NEVER!
Luc- So be it!
Sasarai- Hold it Luc! Your fight is with me.
Luc- You're right, my brother. Let's do it.
Luc and Sasarai face off for their duel of magic. Both fire magical blast at each other.
Sasarai- (dodges an attack) I will stop you, Luc! (fires a blast at Luc)
Luc- (blocks Sasarai's attack) No, brother! I have too much at stake! No one will stop me!
The two brothers continue to fight each other until Luc gets in a shot on Sasarai.
Sasarai- Argh!
Dios- Sasarai!
Thomas- Sasarai!
Cecile- Oh no!
Luc- Now stand aside!
Sasarai- Tell me, why are you doing this?
Luc- For freedom. To free this world from the True Runes. To free myself from this prison called life. You know, I've always hated you brother.
Sasarai- Luc¼
Luc- But I also envied you and the ignorance you lived with. You lived your life peacefully knowing nothing of the truth. While I have been burdened by the truth. Thus is my fate. A fate I will change.
Sasarai- Don't do this! Little brother!
Luc- Goodbye, brother! This will be the last you see of me.
Luc teleports away.
