And now... The final battle of War of the Elements!

...............................................................................................................................................................................

BlackDemon567: ...I'm scared, so I decided to update quickly... This isn't quick enough, is it?

Princess Viv: That was disgracefully short. I hope this one is better!

LuceScuro: Thanks! Hopefully they're even more interesting in this one!

digi148: Thanks! ...But you're reviewing chapter 4? GunDeSol... It didn't even come up in the end... And I was intending for it to...

Michirure: No, Alex isn't evil. He seems to be evil now, perhaps even more in this chapter, but it's just that he's a little too power hungry.

Michirure:... Do I have to do a reviewer's review twice for you everytime? -;; No, my fanfic is crappy. I think so, seriously. I mean, consider the fact that I have 11 chapters (Not counting this one) and 60 reviews? 60?

Chapter 12: The Last Battle

...............................................................................................................................................................................

"Everyone! Strike him with the best you can! Odyssey!" Felix yelled, charging forward. Isaac was immediately beside him, casting the same Psynergy. Every adept charged forward, unleashing their most powerful spells repeatedly.

A dark aura had surrounded Alex and the Wise One, absorbing the blasts of psynergy.

"Fools! My aura will absorb energy to become more powerful than before!" Alex laughed maniacally. He seemed to have turned into an entirely different person. His eyes were red and the expression on his face made him look insane. "Now, it's my turn! I'm going to test my new power!"

He raised the Shaman's Rod, which glowed. The eye of the Wise One shone, and a beam of dark blue light shot out, destroying everything in its way. He aimed it at Lalivero. The remaining buildings crumbled.

"No... My..." Sheba's eyes filled with tears.

"Bwahahahahahahaha!" Alex pointed his rod towards Prox. Streams of fire shot towards it, surrounded by icicles and bolts of lightning. Prox, like most other kingdoms, was utterly destroyed.

Menardi raced swiftly up. "Alex! What in the name of Mars are you doing?!"

"I have no need for your help anymore!" Alex hissed, pointing his pointy weapon at her. Jets of water from the Wise One flew towards Menardi. Saturos grabbed her and leaped away to safety.

"Menardi! He has no intention of helping Her Majesty at all!" he cried.

"Right you are!" Alex roared. "With this power I can rule the world!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Piers yelled. I can't believe I once trusted this... this...

"You're causing destruction everywhere! There isn't anything left to rule!" Isaac yelled furiously.

"Ah, but I will recreate this world. The people will respect me as their king!" Alex said. He glanced at Piers and Mia. "And there's one more left." His rod moved to point southeast. Mia's eyes widened.

"Alex... You... You're not thinking of... You can't..."

An ice beam shot towards the eastern ocean. It froze the mist covering Lemuria, and sharp shards of ice dropped onto the island, attacking many Lemurians and revealing the location of the island. Large boulders flew to Lemuria, crushing the buildings and injuring the confused islanders.

"Damn!" Piers cursed in an unprincely way. "How are we going to stop him?"

"Nothing can stop me now! NOTHING!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!"

Thunderclouds began to gather as the sky darkened. Hurricanes appeared as well, and a sea of flames appeared, spreading all over the ground.

Hamma hurriedly spread her hands. Purple energy erupted from her palms and surrounded the group. They were lifted high up above the clouds by the barrier.

"You can try to hide, but you can't run forever! I will kill all of you, sooner or later!" they heard Alex yell.

"How did things turn out like this?" Menardi moaned, clutching her head.

"I hope you're satisfied!" Xyrho snapped. "Now the land is in pieces!!"

"We never wanted this to happen either..." Karst whispered.

"Tell us why you worked with Alex," Ivan urged. "And Hsu..."

"The Queen of Prox, Remedi, had been poisoned a long time ago. We couldn't find any cure at all. Alex told us about the Wise One. He said that the Wise One would be able to cure Queen Remedi... So we agreed to his plan. Hsu was with Alex," Saturos replied glumly.

"It seems that there is only one possible way to stop Alex," Hamma said softly.

"You want to summon the gods?" Feizhi gasped, holding the still unconscious Hsu.

"It's the only thing that will work. Hamma's barrier may save us, but the rest of Weyard is being hurt down there," Ivan said. "Everyone, get out the djinn. We're going to call all the gods down to help us."

All 72 djinn were soon on standby, squeezed together in Hamma's barrier.

"We're counting on you."

The djinn started to glow brightly. They shot towards the sky, gleaming. One by one, the immortals flew down, radiating with power near the barrier.

"I don't believe we'll lose with this team!" Jenna exclaimed.

"Not necessarily true," said Torch, who was holding on to a gigantic meteor. (I couldn't make Meteor a speaking fireball promoted to god!) "The Wise One is a very powerful god."

"We'll just have to try. It's our only hope now." Isaac jumped down, followed by Charon, Judgment and Ramses.

"He's right. We can't just stand here and do nothing!" Felix leapt onto Daedalus and soared down with Cybele and Zagan.

"Let's go." Piers, Sheba, Ivan, Mia, Garet and Jenna joined the gods and flew down. Hamma pulled Kyle back.

"Let them go. It is their destiny to fight."

...............................................................................................................................................................................

"You think you can stop me with a couple of measly gods?" Alex sneered.

"We'll see!" The Wise One soon found himself being attacked from all directions by the ancient gods. Continuously they attacked, using every ounce of energy they had.

Ramses threw countless boulders and rocks at the Wise One while attempting to crush him with large stone fists. The dark aura repelled the stone, however.

Cybele wrapped him up with thorny vines. The Wise One just burned them as soon as they grew.

Kirin sent blast after blast of fire at the Wise One. Not one of them touched him.

Tiamat was thrown away even before she began attacking. It was as if the Wise One did not want to attack her.

Nereid's water jets collided with Atalanta's arrows, and caused fairly large explosions around, failing to attack the Wise One.

Neptune could not survive near the flames on the ground, and soon retreated sadly.

Procne wrapped the Wise One up in her hurricanes, but he broke free of them easily.

"Together!" Thor, Judgment, Boreas and Torch (holding Meteor) attacked aura. It dissolved.

"It's working! Let's go!" Daedalus cried. Missiles from his body charged towards the unprotected Alex. Eclipse, Moloch, Zagan, Megaera, Flora, Haures and Ulysses attacked Alex, attempting to destroy the Shaman's Rod.

"Atttaaaaack!!" Catastrophe yelled, throwing blasts of thunder at the Wise One. Iris, Azul and Charon all struck ferociously.

There was a huge explosion.

"Did we do it?" Jenna asked anxiously as she sat in Iris' hand. When the smoke cleared, Alex was still standing on the Wise One, but badly injured. Wounds and cuts covered him from head to foot. The Shaman's Rod, though cracked, was still intact.

"I... won't... lose..." he gasped. "I WILL have the ultimate power!"

The Shaman's Rod gleamed and shrunk to the size of a djinni. It embedded itself in Alex's head. Before the horrified eyes of all, Alex melted into a gory-looking liquid which melded into the Wise One. Dark energy enclosed the two.

"Master Hamma!" Kite cried. "What's going on?"

"Alex... He seems to be merging with the Wise One!" Hamma replied, gazing intently at her crystal ball.

"The combined power of Alex and the Wise One?" Feizhi gasped, yet again. "We have to stop them!"

"Right!" Daedalus fired his largest missile at the mass of black. But it was absorbed in. Slowly, the smoky mist disapppeared, revealing a large two-headed dragon. Large blue wings sprouted from its back, and its body was a pale bluish white colour. One of its head was purple and the other was aqua. (Recognise it?)

"I am the Fusion Dragon!" both heads roared at the same time. (Yes, I know it's Saturos and Menardi, but...) Water shot out from one mouth, and fire erupted from the other one. The streams and jets twisted together as it shot around, destroying everything in reach. Within minutes, the gods had fallen. The adepts were alive, but barely.

"I am invincible! Mrrraaaahahahahahahahahahah!!!"

Isaac pulled himself up and glanced around him. Weyard was in ruins. Not a single living plant or animal were near. Half the life in the world had been wiped out. "This... can't be happening..."

"What are we going to do?" Garet groaned.

"Isn't ther any other solution?" Hamma cried despairingly. Feizhi bowed her head. If Master Hamma doesn't think there's hope, then everything's over! She hugged the Sol Blade.

Take me to him, a voice said suddenly. Hamma turned to look at Feizhi, who was staring at the Sol Blade. It glowed brightly and flew up, then plunged down towards the earth, landing next to Isaac. Feizhi remembered Master Hamma's words. The Sol Blade has... chosen Isaac?

The barrier around the long blade disappeared. Isaac grabbed it and pulled it out. The sword started to gleam with an unusual radiance.

Kraden, standing next to Kyle, gave a yell.

"Your Highness! That's the legendary Sol Blade! It was once wielded by Sol himself, and you might just defeat the Wise One with its tremendous power!"

"Your Highness?" Isaac looked puzzled, then swung the Sol Blade towards the Fusion Dragon. This isn't the time to think about that!

"Feh! You think you can beat ME? With that measly sword?" the Fusion Dragon scoffed.

"I can at least try!" A large, fiery meteor appeared in the sky, charging towards the ground at high speed. Isaac leapt up and whacked it hard with his new sword. The meteor raced towards the Fusion Dragon and slammed into it.

"The summon... Meggido!" Kraden's eyes grew wider. "This IS an eye-opener!"

The meteor exploded. Fragments of the rock flew around, some still alight with flames. When the smoke cleared, the two-headed dragon was climbing to his feet, panting hard.

"He survived even that attack?" Hamma collapsed against the wall of her barrier as the wounds on the Fusion Dragon closed and healed.

"Don't you see? I am invincible," one of the heads said softly. "Any damage inflicted on me will be healed instantly."

The other head stared at Isaac.

"You're good, Isaac; you would have gone far. You should have ran when you had the chance. Now, you will die."

Bright purple beams shot out from both mouths. They collided and blew up, spreading the blinding light throughout all of Weyard. The explosion engulfed everything around.

When the light intensity finally dropped to a comfortable level, Isaac had disappeared under several large rocks. Everyone was speechless.

"It's over," both heads of the Fusion Dragon said, smirking.

Suddenly, the rocks moved. They rolled off as Isaac floated up, surrounded by a strong barrier.

"It's not over. It's never over until I say so. And I don't say so," an unfamilliar voice said.

The dark sky brightened. A large golden haired man rose from the south and soared towards them. He had eyes the colour of fire, and on his face was an expression of pure fury.

"Sol!" Iris exclaimed in amazement. "He's awoken after all that time??!"

"Luna too," Megaera added as the female goddess of the moon flew towards them from the west side of Weyard. She, too, looked furious.

"The Sun and the Moon? Are Sol and Luna the sun and moon or gods of the sun and moon?" Kraden's eyes looked ready to pop out, and he sounded confused.

"...I am the strongest in the world," the dragon said haughtily. "You cannot defeat me!"

Sol and Luna said nothing. They flew to the two-headed reptile, circling him slowly.

"If you won't attack, then I will!" The Fusion Dragon opened his mouths. Sol immediately darted to one of them and threw an enormous red energy ball into it. Luna did the same with the other mouth, with a blue energy ball. The heads exploded, but almost at once grew out again. Roaring in rage, it flew into the sky and shot countless energy beams down. Each one was black and filled with destructive power.

Sol raised his left hand and abosorbed the beams. The same energy beams flew out from his right hand, aiming for the Fusion Dragon. It tried to dodge, but the beames homed in towards it and exploded. It cried out in agony.

As everyone else watched in speechless amazement, Luna swiftly bound the winged lizard up with long sashes. Sol burned of one of the heads with sacred fire, destroying its ability to regenerate. The Fusion Dragon cried again, struggling hard. Sol grabbed it from behind, forcing it to keep still.

"Venus Adept Isaac! Destroy the Shaman Rod on his head!" Sol ordered.

Isaac's eyes opened. Slowly, he lifted his head and stared at the god. The barrier around him disappeared and he landed on the ground. Leaping up, Isaac drove the Sol Blade into the rod. The wood started to crack. Everyone else gasped as the Fusion Dragon struggled furiously, breaking Luna's sashes. She drew back, horrified.

"No..."

Hamma bit her lip as Isaac's forehead creased. "He's losing confidence..."

"Then we'll give him confidence!" Jenna said firmly. She raised her voice. "ISAAC!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!"

Felix understood what his sister was doing. "Go for it! Give it your best shot!!"

"GO ISAAC!! DON'T YOU DARE TO LOSE TO HIM!!" Garet yelled.

"I believe in you!!!" Mia called, tears streaming down her face. "Don't lose hope!!"

The others started to yell encouragements to him.

"I... I won't give up," Isaac gritted his teeth. "For Weyard!!!"

The Sol Blade drove in deeply. Bright light shone from the cracks, then the Shaman's Rod shattered. The heads screamed loudly, writhing in pain.

"NOW!" Sol released his hold and raised his hands. Golden chains appeared at his fingertips. Luna stepped forward and created silver chains.

Together, the two immortals bound the roaring creature with the chains. They glowed brightly. The Fusion Dragon collapsed and sank into the ground, unmoving.

"Is it... dead?" Feizhi whispered.

"It is over now." Sol replied. Luna flew up and gleamed. Rays of bright moonlight shone over Weyard. The earth and rocks started to move. The dead revived and grew again. Plants, animals, humans and monsters had their lifes back.

Within a few seconds, Weyard had turned back to what it was before the Magma Cannon fired.

"The Wise One and Alex have been sealed. This world is safe now..." Luna said, smiling at Isaac.

"We know we can trust you. The world has never been in better hands..." Sol said. He and Luna soared off separately and soon disappeared. The sky had darkened into night and the full moon was shining in the middle of the pitch black sky.

"Everything's all right now," Isaac whispered before he collapsed.

...............................................................................................................................................................................

Ahhhh... Finally finished... (Went through it three times before I was satisfied)

Was it unexpected? Forgive me for the use of the Fusion Dragon... I just thought it was canon to have him for the last enemy...

Jake, I hope you're not mad at me using that phrase... 'It's not over. It's never over until I say so. And I don't say so.'

Please review! I really want to know your opinions on this chapter. It's not as long as I wanted it to be, but...

Next chapter will be the final one!
