The Sacrifice of a Warrior
Felix and Chaos stood there, looking at each other, not one moved to draw their swords. They seemed to be statues. Chaos then spoke
-"If you're trying to wait for those four brothers then you're wasting your time, they aren't coming. I made sure of this"-
-"Don't worry I wasn't waiting for them"- said Felix. Finally he pulled out his sword, as did Chaos. Chaos was the first one to attack by actually running straight forward for a thrust. Felix side-stepped out of the way and went for a thrust of his own, though Chaos deflected it. He then attempted a left slash, which Felix parried. Chaos started to swing his sword uncontrollably making Felix back away while parrying most of them. Chaos then went for a horizontal slash it almost got Felix but he managed to put his sword in the way just in time. Now the two of them were looking at each other, none happy about it.
-"Impressive, haven't used light energy and you've actually been able to fight up to me"-
-"Yeah, well it just shows how strong you are"-
-"You think this is my complete strength? Fool"- said Chaos. Felix looked at him puzzled, they were evenly matched and surely that was all he had. However if he was telling the truth then he would be in big problems. He was thinking so much he didn't notice Chaos pulling out three claws from his gauntlet. Felix barely dodged, and the attack did its toll on him. He had received a direct slash into the ribs section, blood was dripping from the injury. Chaos grabbed Felix by his neck.
-"Look at you, a wounded animal can't defend itself from predators, and I've just become the predator"- said Chaos
-"Maybe so, but a wounded animal can always fight to the bitter end!"- said Felix. He cast "Spire". The attack got Chaos, and it did its toll on him. Chaos had been brought down to his knees. Felix didn't waste time and followed up with multiple spires finishing with a Clay Spire. The attacks took their toll on Chaos.
-"Damn you Felix, that's it!"- said Chaos, a dark aura began to surround him. The wind began to spiral around him and he was soon engulfed in a Dark Tornado.
-"What the hell?"- said Felix. The tornado kept blowing, strong and unstoppable. And just as it was made it disappeared, leaving a stronger and fiercer Chaos. Chaos was covered with what seemed like a purple armor.
-"What do you think Felix?"- asked Chaos
-"I think you look pathetic"- said Felix
-"Haven't you ever seen this material... Oh right, your not from around here. Ok I'll fill you in; this is the famous Chaos stone. A rock which sealed inside holds deadly powers, and when unleashed gives them to whomever unleashed it. This stone is unbreakable, not even your light powers will be able to break it. Furthermore your attacks won't even flinch me, I doubt you have a chance of winning so tell you what, give up and surrender yourself to us and I'll spare you"- said Chaos
-"I'll take you down even if I have to die trying!"- said Felix
-"You heroes always say the same. Alright, prepare to die!"- said Chaos as he disappeared from view. He appeared on Felix's back and punched him right in the back. This had made more than just hurt, he could tell there was something broken.
-"Did I forget to mention that the armor gives a boost to my powers?"- said Chaos laughing
-"You might have mentioned it, but I wasn't paying attention"- said Felix slowly getting up
-"Pathetic and I'd have thought you'd be a worthy opponent"- said Chaos
-"Don't worry I'll take you down"- said Felix, he began concentrating his energy in attempts to transform into his light form. However the more he tried, the less he could transform
-"That won't work down here"- said Chaos grinning maniacally
-"What?"- said Felix
-"The light of the sun is what made you transform in that mountain. But since the rays of the sun don't get down here you won't be able to transform unless you pull out the move you made back at that village"- said Chaos
-"Then lets take our fight outside shall we?"- said Felix he cast "Grand Gaia". The made a great hole in the center of both Felix and Chaos which closed in a little while. The sun's rays had reached their destination. Chaos gave and applause to Felix
-"Impressive Felix, quick thinking there, but if you think you'll be reaching this light then your very wrong!"- said Chaos. He made his same move again this time grabbing Felix by the arm and throwing him against a wall. Felix once again slowly got up, this time staggering when rising. Chaos didn't waste time in following up with another attack, this time chocking Felix and throwing him against the wall, almost breaking the wall completely. He approached Felix and grabbed him by the hair
-"What's the matter Felix? Lost all sense of talking?"- He began approaching the hole in the ceiling showing light.
-"Isn't it horrible Felix? How close yet how far you are from the very light that gives you power?"- said Chaos giving a maniacal laugh.
-"Not so fast brother"-
-"…It can't be"- Chaos said turning around fearful. Matt, his brother was standing there, surrounded by the team and the Light Brothers.
-"Something wrong you look like you've just heard a ghost or something"- said Garet
-"Felix, let him go you beast!"- Jenna said casting Dragon Fume. Chaos threw Felix at them who Mia concentrated and healed completely
-"This is impossible, how did you cross that portal?"- said Chaos angry
-"Same way I crossed it"- said Matt
-"Concentrating your so called "light energy" that wasn't even real, it was made so that you would cross once. When you were on your way here you would've died and the lighthouse powers would've been ours for the taking. How did you find light energy?"- said Chaos growing with wrath at the sight of Matt
-"How do you think Felix and Isaac found they're light energy? We all have light energy Chaos; I found this out while venturing out there, when you made me pop up in that place where these people came from, Mt. Aleph!"- said Matt
-"He's… from Mt. Aleph?"- asked Felix
-"Not exactly, he used a portal inside Mt Aleph, he made a swift escape out of the mountain and nobody had seen or even sensed him. That would've had to have been the very day we were returning to Vale. However the trip had taken a lot out of him so he needed to rest what little energy he had left, it was either a pure coincidence or true destiny that you bumped up with him"- said Mia
-"Enough, I'll kill you all if I need to, I wont die at the hands of children"- said Chaos
-"Hey, Kraden isn't a kid!"- said Garet
-"This isn't the time for jokes Garet!"- said Kraden angry
-"Guys, lets focus, I need to get close to that light, you have to distract him"- said Felix. Matt had already begun sparing with his very own brother. However even with all the movement Chaos didn't allow anything to get close enough to the light. Garet attacked him from behind with a strong Pyroclasm but nothing seemed to harm him. Nott even the four brothers together, it seemed as if Chaos was truly invincible. To make matters even worse he made no effort whatsoever in getting rid of all the attacks. He merely planted his arm on the floor which made millions of purple rays sprout out, harming anything close by.
-"Not even you so called mighty heroes can take me down, give up!"- said Chaos, he didn't notice Matt quickly sprinting and grabbing his arms. He had actually trapped Chaos by merely holding him by the arms. Or so everybody thought of it that way, he was grasping the gauntlets which even though were part of the armor couldn't be taken off.
-"Damn you Matt let me go!"- screamed Chaos
-"Felix move!"- Matt told Felix, who wasted no time at all. He sprinted as fast as he could for the light which made Chaos panic and this came up with nothing more easier than killing his own brother. He concentrated energy in his arm and created a razor sharp blade which went right through Matt. This made Matt let go but Chaos had been to late, Felix had already reached the light and to Chaos's dismay, his brothers sacrifice wasn't in vain. Felix transformed and he was in no happy mood.
-"Do you think you can defeat me even if you have transformed?"- asked Chaos mockingly
-"You sure seem very concerned, is it fear?"- asked Athurn who had been itching to talk for a long while now. Garet and Piers had managed to get Matt out of the way and Piers and Mia tried all they could, concentrating to heal Matt.
-"Chaos, you have murdered your very own blood and yet you fell no regret or remorse for this? You are nothing but a soulless creature whose very body will be consumed by the void. I will end your life here and now!"- said Felix this said he dashed not given Chaos time to react. Chaos however dodged but was harmed by a piercing ray of light that Felix had sent after him. Not even the armor itself protected him, a large crack was left where this ray had hit, and it was bleeding. Again Felix dashed this time not attacking with the sword but rather shooting millions of small rays which weakened the armor and in time made a hole in it. Felix then concentrated all attacks on that very spot. Even though Chaos dodged or parried he was also attacked by psyenergy from Garet, Jenna and the brothers. Chaos had had enough and swiftly made a move, actually getting close to Felix and being able to slash him, though the wound wasn't deep enough to be worried about. Chaos had put himself in his very own doom, getting close to Felix. Felix didn't even wait and actually gave a very deep wound on Chaos who back stepped just before anymore damage could be made.
-"Damn, how can… this, be happening?"- said Chaos holding his wound
-"You brought this on your own account"- said Felix. Chaos looked at him,
-"How about we finish this, one last strike"- said Chaos
-"Do you think you can beat me? You can barely run! Give up now!"- said Felix
-"We Alchemic Beings never give up!"- Said Chaos dashing, Felix did the same. A strong slash had been heard but no one could tell who won. Felix fell to his knees at this moment
-"I might've lost… but I don't think you'll be able to help your friend against our king later… Felix"- said Chaos falling head first into the ground. Felix walked towards the others, holding the wound given to him by that last blow, he was right, Felix wouldn't be able to help Isaac like that.
-"How's Matt?"- asked Felix
-"… I don't think he'll make it"- said Mia
-"…Fe…Felix"- Matt struggled to say
-"Hey, you did a brave thing there, dumb, but brave"- said Felix smiling at him
-"My… bro… tha…thanks… I'll finally… be… together…with my… parents…"- said Matt as his very last words. At that very instant the elements he had inside of him broke free returning to the lighthouses. Jenna took her hands to her eyes clearing her tears.
-"May the light of Alchemy shine on you Matt"- said Felix
-"Damn… I can't believe we couldn't save him"- said Athurn
-"Yeah, but now isn't the time, lets finish of this nightmarish world, lets take out their king!"- said Ian
-"Yeah, Isaac will need all the help he can get"- said Mia. They began running behind the trail Isaac had took in hopes of saving Isaac, and finishing off this hellish nightmare
