Chapter 5: The price.
The guardians stood ready each of them waiting for someone to make the first the move. Across the throne room stood their newest enemies the Sentinels. Finally after what seemed like an eternity. Kaleshea dove into combat The Sentinels reacting a split second later to the charge. She went straight for Phobos but was blocked by the rock Sentinel who seemed to appear from out of no 'were right in front of her.
She drew her sword and struck at the rock monster. "The creature blocking each blow with its massive fists.
"Kaleshea!" Nariko called. She ran hard at the back of the preoccupied rock Sentinels back her katana swords drawn and ready. Before she could reach him the steel Sentinel intercepted her its two huge katana swords crashed into the ground were she was standing a split second earlier. The two began parrying blows back and fourth each sword moving insanely fast.
Varsha Esme and Oni surrounded the ice Sentinel each preparing different attacks. Varsha was first in. She drew her staff and ignited the ends and began spinning it above her head. Going straight at the ice Sentinel. Esme added to the display by calling out a series of vines to hold the monsters feet in place preventing it from moving. Varsha struck several times the ice Sentinel unable to move was forced to endure the lethal attacks first in the stomach searing a hole through its skeletal like body hidden by the robes. Then smashing off one its hands. Finally the creature fell to its knees.
"These 'Sentinels' aren't very impressive are they?" Varsha stated disdainfully. Oblivious to the creature freezing the air to rebuild 'its destroyed limb and damaged torso also what appeared to be a blade of some type appeared in the creatures hand.
"VARSHA WATCH OUT!" Esme screamed she shoved her hard to one side and cried in agony has a horrible cold sensation pierced her stomach. Varsha and Esme stared in horror at Esme an ice, forged blade piercing her chest. A look of horror froze across Esme's face has her entire body turned to ice. The ice Sentinel yanked its weapon free from the Guardians torso and the pair watched has Esme fell to ground like a lifeless statue.
"DAMN YOU!" Varsha screamed. Charging hard at the Ice Sentinel. The blade in its hand grew to become a double bladed sword and the monster charged into combat against the Amazonian fighter. The two began parrying blows back and fourth with equal force.
Oni was about to join when she heard Kaleshea call for help.
"ONI!" Kaleshea yelled out has she blocked another a blow from her assailant.
"Kal! I'm coming!" Oni called she flew towards the two who were battling along the red carpet that led up to Phobos's throne. She noted the carpet and an idea struck her.
"Kal jump… Now!" Oni yelled has tugged hard at carpet the knocking the rock sentinel off of its feet and into the air. Kaleshea jumped just in time to avoid being knocked over. She then swung her sword back and smacked it hard into the Sentinel sending it flying towards Oni. She grabbed the carpet and flew around the warrior pinning its large arms to its sides. Kaleshea flew in and swung her sword into the 'creatures torso sending it flying into the thick palace walls. The Sentinel fell to floor temporarily disorientated.
Nariko was still trading blows with the steel Sentinel. The warrior finally got lucky has its heavy swords smashed Nariko's smaller blades. She fell to the floor hard breaking her hip, bone has she fell. She tried to move but the pain stopped her. She looked up into time to see the Sentinels blades coming down on her. That was the last she. Saw.
"NO! NARI! Oni yelled. Has she 'watch the faceless monster retrieve its bloodied swords from her fellow Guardians torso. She charged into combat against the Sentinel her daggers drawn and ready. The Sentinel struck she parried the blow letting the swords slide along her knifes. She then fell to floor and swung herself round to knock the warrior off its feet. The Steel sentinel was quickly up again and Esme threw out a water blast from her palm at the monster, which flew straight into the Sentinels empty hood causing it to howl an inhuman scream.
She flew at the blinded warrior only have the rock sentinel appear out of no were to intercept her attack. The creatures, massive block fist appear right in front of her. Esme was moving to fast to dodge and flew straight into the 'creatures stone fist breaking her nose. She fell back and skidded across the floor smacking hard into the wall behind her breaking her arm. She looked up in time to see the monster raising its massive fist lining it up with her head. She had no strength to dodge and even if she had her broken arm would have stopped her. She waited for the blow but it never came instead she was surprised to see Varsha staff blocking the creatures fist.
Varsha glanced at Oni and grinned at her before swinging under the monsters fist and planting her feet into its stomach, which sent it flying across the room.
"Varsha! Kaleshea called causing Varsha to turn to their leader.
"Get Oni out of here now!" she yelled.
"What about you?" Varsha called back.
"Don't worry about me," Kaleshea responded in a grim voice has she pulled out the heart of Candracar. She 'placed it into a special indent in her swords handle causing the blade to glow an intense pink has the hearts raw energy flooded through the blade.
She flew hard at the steel Sentinel shattering its swords and knocking it back. The monster fell apparently dead the blow was so powerful that its gauntleted fists had shattered.
"GO!" She called to Varsha and a barely conscious Oni.
"I don't think so!" Phobos responded has he raised his hands they sparked with black energy and the windows doors and 'any other exit was covered by a black energy field.
"We're trapped!" Varsha called to Kaleshea who was busy with the other two Sentinels. Her sword smashed through the rock "Sentinels fists has it tried to strike her and spun round to smash into ice Sentinels chest shattering it like glass.
The two warriors fell apparently dead.
"That suits me just fine," she finally replied staring hatefully at Phobos.
"It's about time you paid for your crimes," Kaleshea said striding towards the dark prince.
"No! Phobos cried in frustration. He raised his hands and a black flame engulfed him swallowing him out of existence.
"Wha- but how?" Varsha stammered in confusion.
Kaleshea seemed to have calmed down now.
"Forget him for now. We need to tend to our own," she said gesturing towards Oni who Varsha was supporting.
"And pay last respects," she added staring over to Esme and Nariko's still broken forms.
