Chapter 11: Sacrifice
"Celestial Strike!" "Halo Blade!" "Wings of Heaven!" "Fires of Hell!" Everybody kept attacking Ryoko, but nothing worked.
Ryoko just laughed and sent them all slamming into trees.
"STOP!" Rose's clear determined voice stopped everybody, drawing their attention to her.
"Stop trying to kill them and fight me, one-on-one. Then we shall see who's the strongest one of all." Rose held a dagger in her hand, with all the symbols of the elements of it.
"Hyaa!" Rose charged at Ryoko, slashing in all different directions.
Blood spilled.
Finally, Ryoko had Rose exausted. He was going to kill her.
"Ha! I still win, Ryoko." Rose said, smiling faintly. She still had the dagger in her hand. She plunged it into her chest, into her heart. A light shone from her body, but only for a brief moment. Then the light disappeared and blood spilled. It was a sacrifice.
"ROSE!" Len yelled.
Rose fell to the forest ground. Hao picked her up.
Meanwhile, Ryoko withered in pain, seeming to shrink and shrivel up.
"You fiend. You killed the only one I truly ever loved." Hao stood up, and with a flash of his sword, slaughtered Ryoko.
Ryoko screamed and was no more.
Hao cradled Rose in his arms, his tears spilling onto her cheeks.
