Chapter 16
The Creepslayerz reached to the museum while avoiding parts of the battle. They cautiously walked through the hallways keeping their guard up. "The museum. Right where our first mission started huh?" Eli reminded Steve.
"Yeah one of the best choices in my life, well the good stuff anyway." Steve smiled.
"Hey look over there."
Eli pointed to some light behind some curtains.
They opened the curtains slightly which appeared to be the same room where the Killahead Bridge was placed the first time trying to unleashed Gunmar from the Darklands.
Skrael was holding his staff and just standing there like a statue. His eye were covered in frost as that was his appearance. He pulled a smirk on his cold face as if he were expecting his enemies.
"Attack!" Skrael ordered as a bunch of Orcs jumped down from the upper level of the museum.
The beasts pulled out their swords while Steve pulled out his axe and Eli did the same with his serrator. Steve was fighting with one Orc as he swung his axe in different directions as the monster was blocking it with his sword. Eli did a backflip to prevent an sword slash, he dueled the beast head on. Eli grabbed the Orc's arm and stabbed it through it's chest.
Steve kept on fighting that one Orc. When he tried to block an incoming sword with the stick of his axe, it braked apart.
"Hey that was some well earned material." Steve growled.
Steve kicked the Orc and grabbed the hilt of it's sword and ran it right through the monster. Now with a sword as his defense, Steve dueled another Orc with the skills he learned from Lancelot, the bravest, funny and kindest mentor there was to Steve.
Steve killed the nasty thing while Eli sweeps the last Orc's legs and and killed it when it was down.
The Creepslayerz seemed pretty proud of themselves at their improvement as protectors of Arcadia. They did their long awaited handshake.
"Creep." Steve said.
"Slayerz!" Eli finished.
The Creepslayerz put their swords at the ready as Skrael was approaching them with an evil grin.
"Pathetic mortals, spending your final days fooling with our playmates."
"Won't be for long when you're the one who's going down!" Steve smirked.
"You're about to be slayed literally and figuratively." Eli finished pointing his serrator at him.
"It's you who's gonna be dead before you can do anything to prevent the world's remarkable rebirth." Skrael blasted his frost powers at the Creepslayerz as they took cover.
Steve emerged, dodging the ice as he ran towards Skrael and gave him a kick to the face. Skrael snarled at him just as he found himself blasted from the back by Eli.
Skrael speed himself back from his opponents and put both hands on his ice staff again. "Enough of this child's play!"
Skrael launched a huge amount of deadly ice at the Creepslayerz just in time for Eli to use his serrator as a shield for him and Steve.
It seemed that they were no match for Skrael's magic. But just then someone had entered the room. She was glowing full of enchanted nature elements. Her golden hair was blowing more beautiful. Her eyes were glowing as light if she was born all over again.
It was Nari. More powerful then ever.
The Creepslayerz were shocked and amazed by her sudden appearance.
Skrael was in absolute disgust. "Nari, how are you healed?!"
"Someone more powerful then you could possibly imagine."
Nari threw every magic she gained back at Skrael while he threw his own magic likewise as they engaged into combat.
The Orcs's were getting more deadlier then ever. As the battle raged on, each of the Trolls felled one by one. Aja was looking over the battle and knew it wasn't looking good.
"Oh Kleb, this is bad." Aja said in fear.
"Have faith my Queen, just like playing with some Omens." Zadra assured her.
Douxie used magic defenses from his hands, knocking the Orcs backwards. He felt rest assured he still had potential with the little magic he has left now. "Always hated those twits." He truthfully claimed.
"You and both Doux." Archie said while setting fire on an Orc.
The Orc's started becoming very massive and we're swinging their weapons around a and killing everyone in sight. Aja and Krel stood thier witnessing the Orc army's transformation. Zadra was not that far off from her rulers.
"Your highnesses we need to spread out before they.."
Suddenly Zadra was shot in the chest by an arrow from the most vicious of the Orcs.
"Zadra!" Aja yelled in distress.
Krel screamed as he shot the Orc from his serrator. Varvatos came to assist them and helped Aja placed Zadra near an almost destroyed car.
Aja place her hand over Zadra's wound. "Hang on Zadra, we'll get you taken care of."
Zadra gripped her Queen's hand. "No carry on the fight and make sure you'll keep fighting for Ackridon 5 and for Earth."
Zadra let go of Aja's hand and grasped her final breath as her eye gently closed.
Aja felt her tears fall while Krel and Varvatos watched in sadness.
Aja sniffed her nose and got back on her feet. Her face had new form of bravery.
"Let's finished this for good. There'll be time to mourn later."
Krel and Varvatos nodded in agreement. The three Ackridons went back onto the battlefield.
Douxie knocked another Orc out with his staff when he saw the army's newfound appearance.
"Come on Nari you got this." Douxie spoke softly to himself knowing that he undoubtedly has complete faith in Nari.
Jim fought like never before with his duel with Bellroc. He remembered his swordsman skills quite easily and blocked Bellroc's strikes from her staff.
The rest of the Trollhunters finished off more of the Orcs when they noticed Jim battling the fire goddess.
"Jim needs our help up there." Claire stated.
The Trollhunters climbed up the rubble on the Titan's cavern. Toby seemed to handle the climb very well.
"Ah man definitely glad Darci convinced me to go rock climbing with her." Toby said almost out of breath.
They watched their Trollhunter fought like never before when Claire spotted the heartstone being absorbed.
"Guys we gotta do something about the heartstone, it can't take any more of that dark magic."
"You and Blinky stop the magic from being absorb while Argh and I help Jim." Toby reported to the team.
"Good luck." Argh said warmly to his companions.
"You too old friend." Blinky smiled slightly.
Claire shadowed portal Blinky and Toby to Jim's while doing the same for Blinky and herself. Bellroc's next magic outburst overwhelmed Jim when Argh pounced on her.
Toby flew in next to Jim where they nodded at one another. As Bellroc used her magic to send Argh a few ways, the two best friends charged at the goddess which she now had two opponents.
Nari was using every newfound magic she to overpower her brother but his deadly ice abilities were freezing every root Nari luged at him.
As Steve and Eli watched the gods collide, Eli saw an angle from the Museum's balcony on the upper level. "Up there." He pointed out. "Keep him busy I got an idea."
"You got it."
Steve grabbed a crossbow from the medieval exhibit and aimed it at the ice god. Then Eli was on the balcony and pointed his serrator where Skrael was throwing his powers at Nari.
"Now!" Eli cried out as he and Steve shot their targets staff and broke apart, all over the floor with it's small pieces.
The ice god's face fell in horror. Nari wrap her vines all over her brother. Skrael struggled to break free and was freezing the vines. Steve noticing this, sprinted himself over to the god.
Then finally Steve stabbed Skrael with his sword.
Skrael's face were in complete shock and the god's whole body dissolve in water and ice.
Steve was panting from all he had experience. Eli ran to his best friend and hugged him with their success.
Steve shaken but happily returned his fellow Creepslayer's hug.
The two looked over to Nari, she was looking at the puddle that was once her evil brother. Then she turned over to the Creepslayerz.
"There's one more left."
Jim and Toby were an epic combo match against Bellroc. She blocked the boy's upcoming strikes as she fought with them.
Claire and Blinky made it to the dying Heartstone when it looked very weakened.
"Claire, could you use your magic to send energy back into the source?" Blinky suggested.
Claire tried to summon her magic into the stone but after a several seconds she felt tried from all her magic summoning.
"It's not working. I think the Heartstone needs to set to it's original magic. Before the Eternal Night."
Blinky was in question of what all of that meant. Then he came to a conclusion when he saw Jim and Toby dueling Bellroc. Claire began to see the connection upon Blinky's knowledge look.
Jim blocked the sharpness of the staff. Then Bellroc turned to Toby, he was successfully dodging her attacks on him. When Toby was keep her busy, Jim ran up towards them. As Bellroc turned around and brought her staff up sideways, Jim slashed right through the middle of the and broke it in half. Then Jim held his sword to Bellroc's throat.
"Your turn." Jim snarled. "Give up."
Bellroc laughed sarcastically. "It's too late, soon the world will be remade."
Bellroc knocked Jim out of her way with her broken staff.
"Jimbo" Toby rushed over to his friend.
Bellroc pulled out the sharp side of her destroyed staff as Toby brought his war hammer out to knock her out of the way.
Just then, Bellroc fatality stabbed Toby in the abdomen.
Toby grunted in pain as he covered his injury.
Jim's mouth fell when he saw his best friend wounded.
"TOBY!"
