Chapter 7- Falling Awei (Part 6)/ The Final Battle!!!

The cold rain still continues to fall from the dark sky far above, thunder rumbles loudly from all around, and lighting scatters everywhere. Zhou Yu slowly pulls out his sword and deeply breathes hard. You can begin to see his breath coming from his mouth. His eyes have nothing but a bright red fiery burning rage and a look of determination when you look into them. Cao Cao slowly pulls out his sword as well and smirks at Zhou Yu. You can see the rain trickle down his face to his goatee. In his eyes you can also see a burning rage in his eyes but only this one is of a dark flame.

Cao Cao: "You know I thought it would come down to this moment, but I just never thought it would be this soon. It must have been your stupid pathetic ambition to find Sun Ce. The name just struck you hard. I see you did not get to kill him, what a shame. You had the power Zhou Yu... why did you not accomplish the task? Ohh, I know why, it is because you are weak inside and aloud let such a man take you over."

Zhou Yu: "You are wrong Cao Cao, Sun Ce saved me from the evil that you tainted my mind with. For that I am grateful to him, Ma Chao, and Zhuge Liang. If anything Cao Cao, you are the weak one. You have no friends, no family, no life, and most certainly you have no heart. If you had a chance to have friends and feel love, then maybe things would be different. You were made to conquer and control and I am here to stop that now."

Cao Cao: "Bravo Zhou Yu, such a heartwarming speech. You really think you can stop the unstoppable, defeat the undefeatable... YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME!!! HA!!! GO AHEAD AND TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT ZHOU YU!!!"

Zhou Yu: "I will show no mercy to you this evening Cao Cao. No mercy whatsoever!"

Both warriors removed their armor from around their chest. Cao Cao then did a strange chant and suddenly all of the Wei officer's weapons were right before him.

Cao Cao: "Ever heard of when two weapons combine to make a more powerful weapon?"

Zhou Yu turns his sword a little.

Cao Cao: "I see, not only have you heard of it, but you also managed to have such a weapon. Well then, I hope this does not come of as a shock to you Zhou Yu."

Cao Cao's sword begins to radiate a dark glow. The other weapons before him also begin to radiate a dark glow, and then the weapons are lifted up by some dark force and edge closer and closer to Cao Cao's sword. Then all the weapons touch the sword and the dark glow gets bigger and stronger, and then all the weapons disappear and Cao Cao's sword changes. Cao Cao then looks at the inscription written on the blade.

Cao Cao: "Overlord's Wrath... a very nice blade, a blade with dark powers flowing through it and into my body as well. Impressive, is it not Zhou Yu?"

Zhou Yu: "Well, I have nothing to worry about. Now if the blade were in the hands of a skilled swordsman, then I would be worried.

Zhou Yu smirks.

Cao Cao: "IMBESCILE!!!"

Cao Cao charges up and fires a death blast at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu shoots one of his blasts into the other, but it only made Cao Cao's blast more powerful. Before the blast got to Zhou Yu, he quickly deflected it back to Cao Cao. Cao Cao absorbed the blast into his sword.

Cao Cao: "LET US SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS MORE THAN ONE BLAST THEN!!!"

Cao Cao shoots the blast he absorbed back to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu gets ready to deflect the blast again, but the blast separates. Zhou Yu was able to deflect one, but the other hit him hard in his chest. At that moment everything became dark around Zhou Yu. He slowly began to fall to the ground, and then he was being constantly hit by other blast. Once Cao Cao was done shooting his many death blasts at Zhou Yu, he went up to him and punched him in the face. Zhou Yu fell down, not breathing, motionless, and you could see nothing in his eyes. Cao Cao turns around and looks down upon Xiao Qiao.

Cao Cao: "Look as your pathetic husband dies. He was not even worth my time."

Xiao Qiao begins to cry.

Xiao Qiao: "Get up Zhou Yu... GET UP!!!"

Cao Cao picks up Xiao Qiao and she begins to scream. He slaps her in the face and then she falls to the ground. Cao Cao then picks her up and continues his brutal assault on Xiao Qiao. Zhou Yu still sees nothing but darkness, but he can hear his wife crying, screaming, and being attacked. Zhou Yu's sword begins to glow with a bright golden glow and Zhou Yu returns back to normal. Cao Cao picks up Xiao Qiao and before he slaps her again, he is tapped on the shoulder. Cao Cao puts Xiao Qiao down and turns around to see Zhou Yu standing before him, his eyes grow big and wide and Zhou Yu punches Cao Cao in the face many times. Cao Cao stumbles back some. Zhou Yu strikes at Cao Cao with his sword, but Cao Cao blocks with his sword, Cao Cao's sword pushes Zhou Yu's blade away making Zhou Yu back away for the moment.

Cao Cao: "Looks as if my sword has more power than your pathetic one. It would take a great force of good and light to even compare your swords power to mine."

Sun Ce of all times pulls Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, and Yukimura over to him and whispers to them.

Sun Ce: "Wait, if I can go around and collect everyone's weapons from Shu and Wu and bring them here, then could that be possibly enough for Zhou Yu to fight against Cao Cao."

Zhuge Liang: "It could be possible, but you would have to hurry."

Yukimura: "We can get the job done faster if we all went."

Ma Chao: "I agree!"

Our warriors then began to go collect every general's weapon. Sun Ce stops at the door and turns back around and looks at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu then looked over his shoulder at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce: "I will be back as fast as I can Zhou Yu, just hold him off."

Zhou Yu nods and then attacks Cao Cao. Sun Ce runs down the stairs to join our other warriors.

Cao Cao: "Now where are those imbeciles heading?"

Zhou Yu: "You think I have any idea of what they are planning? Just shut up and fight."

While those two warriors fought, Xiao Qiao began to cut her ropes by using her metal fans at her side. Meanwhile, the general's on the third and second floor were all told to pile up their weapons in Cao Cao's room near the stairs. Then they continued down stairs and collected any general's weapon that may still be on the first floor and basement floor. Back at the fight, Zhou Yu was having no luck, every strike bounced off of Cao Cao's sword. Zhou Yu was beginning to get tired. Cao Cao took this advantage to attack Zhou Yu. He dodged most of Cao Cao's assaults, but in his state he could not dodge them all. Zhou Yu first got struck in the left arm, then on his sides, his back, and eventually his legs. Cao Cao was also able to cut Zhou Yu's headband off of his head. Cao Cao was about to deliver the final blow to Zhou Yu, but Xiao Qiao was able to free herself in time and began using her metal fans on Cao Cao's back. Cao Cao had over a dozens of cuts on his back and a few on the back of his neck, he turned around to then strike at Xiao Qiao, but Zhou Yu then took this moment to attack Cao Cao. This infuriated Cao Cao, for he was getting more cuts on his back. He knocked Xiao Qiao away and then he turned and knocked Zhou Yu away. Zhou Yu slowly picked himself up, but then fell to his knees. Cao Cao then walked slowly towards him and pointed his sword at Zhou Yu.

Cao Cao: "This is where it ends, no one else is here to help you... no one else is here to watch... so I will make you this offer. Join me or perish."

Sun Ce quickly ran up to the third floor carrying almost half of the weapons they were suppose to collect. The other half was already in Cao Cao's room by the stairs. Sun Ce rushed into that room where Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, and Yukimura were waiting.

Zhuge Liang: "Amazing Sun Ce, Zhou Yu will be proud of you. Here are the rest of the weapons. We shall help you carry them up there."

Sun Ce: "NO TIME FOR THAT JUST GIVE THEM ALL TO ME!!!"

Zhuge Liang: "But..."

Sun Ce: "JUST DO IT!!!"

Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, and Yukimura hand Sun Ce the rest of the weapons and their weapons as well. Once done, Sun Ce runs up the stairs.

Sun Ce: "THANK YOU!!!"

They follow Zhuge Liang up the stairs and all the other warriors follow as well. Meanwhile, Cao Cao awaits Zhou Yu's answer.

Zhou Yu: "Well... I would rather perish than ever join you. It is like I said earlier... You have no friends, no family, no life, and most certainly no heart."

Cao Cao pulls back his sword, but then hears something. Sun Ce runs outside and slips. He threw the weapons off to the side, so that the weapons would not crush him and then he hits the ground but then quickly gets back up.

Sun Ce: "I DID IT, I GOT THEM ALL!!!"

Cao Cao then shot a death blast at Sun Ce and he was hit hard by it, so hard that it went through his body and killed him. As he fell to the ground Sun Ce used whatever energy he had left and threw his tonfas towards Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu once again had that burning desire in his eyes, but only this time it was brighter and stronger. He caught Sun Ce's tonfas and then knocked Cao Cao away. Zhou Yu begins to cry.

Zhou Yu: "Sun Ce went and collected all these weapons for a reason... that reason was to somehow combine them all into my sword and make it powerful enough to fight against your sword."

Zhou Yu grip tightens on Sun Ce's tonfas.

Zhou Yu: "His hard work shall be written down in history and I will kill you to avenge his death."

Zhou Yu's sword began to glow brighter, and all the weapons Sun Ce collected began to glow, and even Xiao Qiao's fans began to glow.

Cao Cao: "NO, THIS CANNOT BE!!!"

The weapons float towards Zhou Yu by some force of good and light. Slowly they begin to turn and circle around Zhou Yu. At that moment all the other warriors came up from climbing the stairs and saw the wonderful event that was taking place. Each weapon one by one combined into Zhou Yu's sword. Even the great Lu Bu's weapon was among them as well as Diao Chan's weapon. Once all the weapons combined into Zhou Yu's sword, the sword began to change and continue to glow brighter. A new inscription was on the blade.

Zhou Yu: "Holy Sword of the Gods."

Cao Cao shot another death blast at Zhou Yu, but the new sword created a shield around Zhou Yu and neutralized the blast. He then attacked Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu blocked every attack, until Zhou Yu's sword began pushing Cao Cao's sword away and making him back away.

Cao Cao: "HOW CAN THIS BE? I WILL NEVER LOSE TO THE LIKE OF YOU!!!"

Cao Cao attacked Zhou Yu again, but Zhou Yu slashed Cao Cao and did not stop slashing. Each time Zhou Yu hit Cao Cao with his sword, Cao Cao saw an illusion of each warrior who made his defeat possible. Last last few strikes shown Cao Cao the most important warriors of all of them Xiao Qiao, then Yukimura, Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, Zhou Yu, and finally Sun Ce was the last strike. Cao Cao stumbled back and Zhou Yu struck at him one final time. That final strike shown all the warriors that time. Cao Cao flew back and hit the concrete ground hard. Cao Cao's sword returned to normal and all the Wei officer's weapons went back to each dead officer's hands. Zhou Yu's sword also returned each warriors weapon that was able to make him able to finish Cao Cao, but the Ancient Sword of Light stayed as it was. The rain, thunder, and lighting stopped. The clouds floated away and the sun began to rise. Every warrior jumped for joy, cried their eyes out, and were as happy as they could ever be. Xiao Qiao jumped for joy and held her arms out. Zhou Yu smiled and and slowly walked towards her. Before he was half way to her something unexpectedly happened... Cao Cao got back up and grabbed Xiao Qiao from behind.

Cao Cao: "YOU MAY HAVE WON ZHOU YU, BUT BEFORE I DIE I AM TAKING HER WITH ME!!!"

Cao Cao backed up a little till he felt the ledge and he fell back on purpose, taking Xiao Qiao with him.

Zhou Yu: "XIAO QIAO!!!"

Tears began to pour down his face as he ran to the ledge, he heard her scream and then the next minute the screaming stopped. When Zhou Yu made it to the ledge, he looked down to the ground and there was nothing. A great evil was destroyed that day, but the bodies of Cao Cao and Xiao Qiao were never found. Zhou Yu even traveled the world after he buried his brother Sun Ce into the ground. Shu and Wu joined together and formed a newer greater empire. Throughout Zhou Yu's journey he was never able to find his beloved wife or Cao Cao. Zhou Yu spent the rest of his days in China and 5 years after the day of which he defeated Cao Cao, Zhou Yu died. He was put into a special tomb made by Zhuge Liang just for him. The tomb was then sealed off in a location only a few warriors knew. The new empire lasted for many years and some say that it still does exist till this very day, but no one knows why Zhuge Liang created that tomb. He did make it for a purpose as he wrote in his journal, it also states that only one pure of heart will find the tomb and be able to help Zhou Yu find his beloved wife and bring them together once again forever... The End... or is it...
