"Ryudo!" Shouted Millenia, "Get down!"

Valmar had recovered just enough to attack. Flames sped towards Elena, Tio, Roan and Ryudo. They didn't move. Millenia thought they were insane until Ryudo suddenly raised his blade and the flames split in two upon impact… except it wasn't his blade. In his hands, Ryudo held…

"The Granasaber!" Gasped Millenia, "but…"

"I told them I couldn't come without it." Laughed Ryudo.

His face suddenly became much more serious and a familiar gleam touched his eyes.

"And now, we've got some major payback to give." He said softly, lifting the sword carefully, "Skye, if you'd be so kind."

Skye suddenly flew through the door and lifted up Valmar with strength unimaginable. If they hadn't seen it before, it would've been unbelievable.

"Melfice," Said Ryudo, instantly taking charge, "When Skye drops him, attack with everything you've got."

"But…" began Melfice.

"Don't argue! Just do it!" Shouted Ryudo.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could already see Skye preparing to drop the wriggling mass. Melfice nodded and took a better grip on the handle of his sword. Millenia looked from one to the other. They looked so alike. Both so determined, concentrating, counting every second that passed, preparing to attack.

"Three … two … one!" Called Ryudo and both thrust the swords upwards, into Valmar's belly.

Valmar screeched in pain. The sound was unbearable. It made them feel as though their ears were bleeding.

"Everyone attack!" Called Ryudo.

"Impact bomb!"

"Lotus flower, bloom!"

"Golden Hammer!"

"Beast King Slash!"

"Arrow Shot!"

With each attack, parts of the beast fell away and it screamed louder, but it wouldn't die.

"Damn it!" said Millenia, "I needed that to work!"

"We'll win Millenia!" said Melfice, putting a hand on her shoulder.

As Elena and Tio at them, they both realised the same thing, but now was not the time to get giggly about it. (As if Tio would ever giggle anyway?)

"What are you two looking at?" Asked Ryudo, "We need you help over here!"

Elena and Tio suddenly realised that Mareg and Roan had been backed into a corner and no amount of attacking was making the mass which was Valmar back down. This seemed impossible, but they needed to help Millenia. They weren't going to lose her over something as stupid as Valmar wanting his wings back.

"Stand back!" Called Elena, going down on one knee and pulling out another bomb.

Roan and Mareg immediately ducked down and back, arms over their heads. Elena aimed and suddenly stood up. In her hands she now held not one bomb, but five. With all her strength, she flung the five bombs at Valmar and they exploded upon impact. A large chunk of Valmar flew into the air and landed with a squelch at Elena's feet.

"Ew …" she whispered, "that's sick."

"But it worked!" Said Millenia.

"How are we going to do this?" Asked Tio, watching Ryudo plunge his blade hard into the side of Valmar.

"We'd better think of a plan …" said Millenia.

"I SHALL NOT BE DEFEATED!" Screeched the high voice of Valmar, "I SHALL RECOVER MY WINGS IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO! NO ONE WILL DEFEAT ME! I AM AN ALL POWERFUL BEING!"

The sound was so unbearable that they sank to the ground. However, something occurred to Millenia. She hadn't been able to use her wings in the world of the living … but they weren't in the world of the living anymore and she wasn't alive! She could almost feel the wings sprouting from her back, giving her power, making her feel whole. Is this really what she'd been missing all this time? No, but by being reunited, she was one step closer to finding what she needed to be herself again and she wasn't going to waste this chance.

"Millenia?" Gasped Elena, "How did you do that?"

Millenia opened her eyes and looked around. She smiled softly to herself and got up onto one knee.

"You want wings Valmar? I'll give you wings!" She called and rose into the air, supported by two tremendous black wings.

"How did you do that? Your wings were removed! You no longer have your powers!" Called Valmar as Millenia rose high into the air.

"You see," laughed Millenia, with the old glee she used to show when fighting an enemy, "You can't remove the wings, because I am the wings! The wings are who I am! I'm not possessed like Melfice or Ryudo were. I AM THE WINGS OF VALMAR AND I USE THEM HOWEVER I WANT!"

Millenia summoned two glittering balls of black and purple energy in her hands. Her eyes seemed impossible to see through the blackness engulfing every part of her. Millenia gave a small snort of laughter and a small smile.

"This …" She laughed gently, "Is my way of thanking you."

With that Millenia threw the balls of energy at Valmar. She then created two more and threw them and continued until she eventually sank to the ground with exhaustion and looked up and the countless amount of energy began to spin around Valmar until…

There was a deafening crack and the loudest squelch they had heard and Valmar exploded, spraying them with pieces. Millenia let herself smile gently, before everything faded into darkness and her head struck the ground.

(A/N) I'm sorry I haven't updated in ages, but a lot has happened with exams and going on holiday for two weeks and my aunt died and we spent ages up in Birmingham. Sorry, I'll try to finish this story asap. Luv Becky. xxx
