1All right, the final round. Only one angel will come out of this alive. I wonder who? Okay, I won't leave you in suspense. Enjoy!

Chapter 22: The Final Round

The Renegades and angels attacked the field for the third, feeling completely rejuvenated after Storm's spell. Pronyma watched in horror as her troops began to fall like flies. Her troops couldn't stand up to Storm's troops who were at full health.

Storm turned Pronyma's attention away to the battle below as Storm rushed at her full speed and tackled her, soon bouncing off of her with her Outburst attack. Her attack powers were boosted with her new form, causing Pronyma to fly through the air. Pronyma opened up her wings like a parachute to slow herself down. She flew back at Storm who was ready for anything she could dish out.

"I'm tired of this, watch your troops begin to fall. Meteor Storm!" Pronyma yelled as a large group of meteors began to descend upon the field. Storm was hit by one and it threw her into the ground. She was underneath the meteor and used a blast of mana to blow it apart, freeing herself from under the ground. She flew back up at Pronyma, who couldn't believe that she was able to survive the attack.

By now, the light around Storm had caused the sky around the battle to turn from pitch black to gray. She flew up to Pronyma and prepared for another spell. "Holy Lance!" she cried as Pronyma was engulfed in a bright light and was attacked by what appeared to be spears made out of rays of light. Pronyma cried out in pain at the attack, but refused to give up.

"Okay runt, this is going to end now," she said as she flew over to the other end of the field. Storm had no idea what she was doing but soon saw her beginning to chant a spell that Storm had never heard before.

"Holy powers, bring darkness and suffering upon the world. Destroy everything, leave no survivors. Now is the time of Judgement, run while you still can. Apocalypse!" Pronyma yelled as the sky grew dark again and a darkness poured out from Pronyma and began to cover the field. It was killing everyone it touched, even Pronyma's own army. At this point, Pronyma didn't care who she killed as long as Storm would die.

Storm knew she had to do something to stop the attack, but didn't know how to. She was running out of time and noticed that the darkness was coming closer to where her friends and family stood and she knew that if she didn't stop it they would die instantly. She began to look for any source of power, calling upon the strength of her whole body, mind, and soul. Suddenly, as her pleas for help were being answered, she felt all of her power flow to the surface. Anna was calling to her as they both began to chant, their voices overlapping each other.

"Sacred power, shed thy light upon the land. Cast these corrupted souls into eternal damnation, so others may live peacefully. Divine Judgement!" Storm and Anna both yelled as a huge explosion of white light erupted from Storm and flew quickly over the field. Storm was engulfed in the light and Kratos wasn't even able to see Storm anymore through the bright light. The light hit the darkness from Pronyma's attack. The two forces seemed evenly matched, but Storm's light seemed to gain ground as all of her soldiers, her friends, and her family all prayed and hoped for Storm's success. This hope added power to Storm's attack as the light shot through Pronyma's and hit the angel head, sending her to the ground.

Storm saw another vision as the light began to leave her and she gently floated back down to the ground. She was in the place she had been before when she had once talked to her mother. Her mother was standing across from her with a smile on her face.

"I can not help you anymore Storm, I've used all the power that I had and now I must return," Anna said.

"No Mom, don't leave me, I need you. Besides, you just got here," Storm cried.

Anna walked over to her and gave her a big hug. She looked at the necklace around Storm's neck. She smiled at the small token from Kratos. "Don't forget, it doesn't matter how far away we are from each other, you can be sure that I will be looking at the same sky as you are and I'll be thinking of you," she said as she let go of Storm and wiped away the tears from her face. (Chap 8)

"Mom...," Storm barely whispered as she watched Anna walk into the distance.

"Storm, please be happy, remember I love you all," she said as she disappeared.

Storm landed on the ground and looked all over. Her white wings had disappeared and she wondered where Pronyma had gone to. She revealed her blue wings and flew across the battlefield to look for Pronyma. She saw Pronyma getting off of the ground, her black wings were gone. Pronyma noticed Storm, and full of rage tackled her head on, knocking Storm into the ground.

"I will make you suffer you worthless maggot. How dare you try to take Derris Kharlan away from me. How were you able to defeat my most powerful form?" Pronyma yelled.

"Prophecies aren't always true," Storm smiled as she teleported herself behind Pronyma and hit her with a blast of mana, sending her flying across the field. Storm flew up into the air and Pronyma quickly followed, with hatred in her eyes. She hit Storm with her Aggarasium attack, followed by her Leonasium attack.

Kratos and the others were making their way to different sides of the field to see if they could aid Storm in her fight. They were all very far away from where Storm and Pronyma were battling at.

Pronyma kicked Storm into the ground. Storm hit the ground and felt the last of her strength leave her and she was unable to move. She struggled to open her eyes, and was unable to pull out her wings. She opened her eyes and saw Pronyma land in front of her.

"I guess the prophecy was true," Pronyma laughed as she prepared to strike Storm. "It's about time that you die!"

Storm closed her eyes, preparing for the final attack. She was unable to move and awaited her end. She couldn't believe that after all the work and all of the fighting Pronyma would still gain control of Derris Kharlan. All of the fighting had been worthless.

She didn't feel any pain, in fact the only thing she felt was something wet on her. She opened her eyes and saw Pronyma standing over her, bleeding from her stomach, a sword sticking through. The look on Pronyma's face was one of pure shock. Storm looked to see who had attacked her. She saw Zelos behind her, anger in his eyes.

"Don't you dare touch her!" he yelled as he pulled his sword out from her. "Now, burn in hell!" he yelled as he threw the sword into her once again, killing her instantly.

Pronyma fell next to Storm, her body, disintegrating away as her life finally ended. Storm looked up at Zelos as he helped her off of the ground. She hugged him tightly and he returned the embrace.

"You know, you can be really scary when you're overprotective," she laughed. "Thank you."

"No problem, there's no way that I'm going to let someone like that take you away from me," Zelos said.

She looked into his eyes, and he looked into his and they kissed in the middle of the field. They kissed very passionately for what seemed like forever. They both lost themselves in the kiss, melting into one another. Soon, the kiss was broken, by none other than Kratos.

"Okay, save that for when you're married," he said.

Storm looked around and realized that all the Desians were gone from the field.

"Where'd all the Desians go?" she asked.

"When he saw Pronyma die, Forcystus had them all retreat, or at least what was left of the army. He managed to escape, but we'll catch him later. I'm just so glad that you're okay," Kratos said as he hugged Storm.

"I can't believe that the prophecy was wrong," Lloyd said as he ran up to the group.

"Well, the prophecy didn't include Zelos," Storm replied as she smiled at her fiancee'.

Well, that's it here, I will make like one more chapter so that everyone knows what happens after this battle. My little epilogue. Anyway, I hope you liked it, I know that it was kind of short, sorry. Anyway, please review and tell me what I should do next with Storm. Thanks!
