Chapter 18: Battle of the Voice

"K…Kuchinawa" Sheena stuttered, "What are you doing here?"

"I suppose I should explain it to you inferior beings" Kuchinawa answered, revealing angel wings much like Yggdrasill's. "I was searching for immense power, a power to destroy you, when I came to Exsphere shards. They had tremendous power, so I equipped the shards in different places of my body, places on my arms, as you can see." He showed his right arm, adorned with Exsphere fragments, for a minute, then continued on, "I was able to do so many more things, cast magic, summon the power of Derris-Kharlan, and your favorite, telepathy."

"So that's how you did it." Sheena mumbled, "Go on."

"A voice, what actually seemed more like pure power spoke to me, ' I am Mithos. You want to avenge someone, don't you? Use these. ' He then said something about the two worlds, and a corrupt Mana Tree."

"Mithos' insane side…" Zelos mumbled.

Sheena glanced at him. Kuchinawa went on, " I can come to here as I please. Drawing you here, Sheena, I will kill you!" Kuchinawa whipped out a lance. Than an axe. Then a sword. He then reverted to a katana, showing off how many weapons he had.

Sheena was stunned for a minute, but then drew out her weapon, "I apologize. I can see now there's no other way, but I won't let you destroy the new world for vengeance of me!"

Sheena flipped her katana upwards, pointing it at the sky. She knew that now, this would be the end of her journey. Zelos took out his blade as it gleamed against the moonlight. Kuchinawa began to attack Sheena, but Zelos stabbed him straight in the back. Sheena's once friend turned around and hit the gleaming knight with a spear. Sheena jumped over a powerful circular swing and aimed for Kuchinawa's head. However, she was held back by some invisible power. Telekinesis. The female ninja was thrown aside and Zelos parried another spear attack. Sheena then got enraged. Why did Kuchinawa have to do this! Orochi had forgiven her. It was very frustrating for her as she thought of a tactic. Getting more fighters would help. Keeping them out would be tough. But if she combined two previously learned strategies…

"I got it!' Sheena yelled, "Mistress of Stars, come to my aid and fight! I summon thee, Astra!"

Astra came upon command and began to slash at Kuchinawa with her scythe. Lavender sparks appeared next to Sheena. The time Astra could stay out depended on Sheena's mana. The female ninja knew another Summon Spirit that would work…

"Keeper of the sacred space, come to my aid and fight! I summon thee, Universa!"

Universa came out and began to attack Kuchinawa with his weapon, the sword. Zelos performed a Unison Attack, Sheena using Frozen Earth, Zelos using Lunar Pyre, Astra using Circle Crush, and Universa using Depth Ravager, a move Sheena and Zelos had never seen. The attacks all formed together to make Infinite Land. A green field starched across the battle zone and then turned to ice, magic circles erupting from thin air. Some engulfing Kuchinawa. After this, the earth broke and rocks flew up from the ground, and small rocks flew across the air. Kuchinawa fell over, giving Zelos the opportunity to use a Magic Lens. The health of Kuchinawa was still very full. Astra and Universa disappeared, Sheena's mana depleted. Zelos used a few Pineapple Gels on her, so her magic power was restored. Kuchinawa came up, almost slaughtering Zelos with a series of quick attacks, sparks falling from nowhere, flames rising up to burn Sheena's comrade.

"You little…!" Zelos yelled, "Take this! A new spell! Ice Crosset!"

An huge icicle fell down on Kuchinawa, splitting into four paths when it landed. Kuchinawa shrugged it off and began to cast tornadoes upon Sheena and Zelos. Then, while the Gleaming Knight was stunned, Sheena was hit with a massacre of axe strikes. One final blow was aimed to the heart…

"Not after I've come this far!" Sheena yelled, "Heaven's Blessing!"

Angel wings spread across the field, healing Sheena and Zelos while impaling Kuchinawa with feathers. He, again, ignored the damage and Sheena saw the brutal attacks on Zelos, not having enough time to react.

"STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Sheena screamed, stabbing into Kuchinawa's arm with great force. An Exsphere shard broke, severe damage finally getting to Kuchinawa. Sheena saw his face distort with pain, and yelled, Zelos, the Exsphere shards!"

"You're not going anywhere!" Kuchinawa yelled, enveloping Zelos in a multitude of attacks, Sheena also was sucked in, and then they were both tossed aside. Sheena used two Miracle Gels on Zelos, and one on herself. Zelos stabbed another Exsphere shard, and got lucky. Suddenly, the shards glowed, Kuchinawa staring up a spell. Sheena took this time to quickly summon Cresenta and Undine. They both got two Exsphere shards down, twenty six remaining. Kuchinawa did not stop his spell, but a barrier was put up. The two Summon Spirits easily destroyed it, but then Kuchinawa's spell was released. It was Earth Bite, a spell in which a blue sphere appeared and stunned the target then enveloped them in scaly brown hides of earth. Sheena barley avoided, and began to Summon Volt and Efereet to the battle field. Strangely enough, her mana was not running low, because Zelos kept using Orange Gels on her when they had the chance. Volt and Efereet came and the four Summon Spirits blasted Kuchinawa with many spells, destroying ten Exspheres. Sheena then knocked away Zelos as she took the full effect of Holy Lance spell from Kuchinawa.

"Alright," Astra yelled, while attacking with her scythe, "Sir Volt, is it? Please, try to cast the ancient spell, Indignation Judgement! Up here, I may be able to combine a spell!"

Volt obeyed, remembering the how to cast the spell perfectly. Five bolts struck the enemy, then an azure winged sword was released, and landed on Kuchinawa, followed by a blue dome. The sword stayed put, immobilizing Sheena's enemy. A lavender sword fell from the heavens, pursued by many stars. After this it exploded in a purple dome of starlight. The other sword also disappeared, Astra and Volt yelling in their languages, "Blades of Indignation!" These calls were answered as multi-colored blades rained down, erupting in stars and thunder as they crashed. All the Summon Spirits then disappeared . Sheena's man was depleted yet again. It was a good thing that only…wait…only ONE shard was left! I gleamed for a minute right on Kuchinawa's heart. Zelos tried to strike it, but was thrown aside, not noticing Sheena from above…

"AHHH!" the female ninja screamed, "We will end this!"

Sheena somersaulted in the air at Kuchinawa, catching him after his attack on Zelos, who then collapsed. A horrid scream was heard as Kuchinawa died. He faded away.

"We…we did it." Sheena mumbled, then let loose a yell being hit by tears, " Zelos, we did it! Zelos…?"

Zelos did not move. He did not flinch, or even breathe.

"…Zelos?"
