Chrono Crusade: Horns of Time


Chapter Twenty-Two: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny Pt. 1


"Unwilling though I was to follow my namesake's instructions, it has all come down to this. The ultimate risk, for the ultimate prize - day of reckoning with those who made us slaves."

-Megatron, portraying the slavish origin of the villain. (def. from wikipedia)


"Foolish boy you cannot win!" Logan shouted as he confronted Joshua's charge.

The rest of the group attacked as well. The apostles, the sinner Chrono and Rosette stood at the sidelines either unconscious because of the pervious attack that was made to them or half conscious because of the situation that had transpired and that had awaken them. They were all taken care of by the sisters. Viscount and the rest of the devils tried to confront Logan by an all directional charge however it was proven useless. Logan swiped his left hand and he created a wave that sent them back flying.

"No good," Wid yelled. "We're doing next to nill on this guy."

"You think that would be obvious to you right now?" Aion asked him.

"Hahahahaha," Logan laughed at them, "is that all you got?" Joshua tried for a frontal strike again but Logan blocked the attack. He sent Joshua flying in which he landed on his feet. Wolf, however, slashed him from behind, momentarily hurting Logan.

"Don't get uppity, you amateurs!" Logan yelled. He flew up to the sky and with two hands created a ball of dark purple light. Joshua was about to attack again when Wolf yelled at him. "Don't go!"

Joshua turned around, halting his attack. Wid got to his attack stance, "Enough of this bullshit!" and with Fiore headed towards Logan. Logan smiled and released the light, engulfing the two and turning them into stone. The two figures dropped down to the ground.

"Sister!" Statella yelled and attacked Logan with her Jewel Knight while he was descending. However Logan dodged the attack and punched her in the gut and sent her to a boulder. She lay there, unconscious.

"Damn it all to hell!" Aion yelled. "This scum is proven to be a handful."

"No kidding," Joshua replied.

Logan laughed again, "I told you it was a futile effort. Now who's next?" Logan was about to attack again when a blond haired man appeared with a cross sword. He dodged the attack again. The man regrouped with Joshua.

"You're…" Joshua realized, "you're Remington!"

"Glad that you remembered me," Remington said with a smile. He looked at Rosette and turned to Aion. "What have you done?"

Aion shrugged, "What do you think?"

"Later," Viscount said, "Logan is about to attack again."

"So you've come with a new friend, eh?" Logan gave a smirk. "I'll finish you all off all the same." Logan charged with his spear when suddenly a man in a trench coat appeared and held his spear and thrusted it up in the air. He went to the others.

"Sinner Aion…it seemed that a new enemy has appeared before you."

"Don't give me this now, DeFaux!" Aion said to him spitefully. He turned to Joshua. "So the apostle of hope has gained new powers, yes? I sense your power…it has grown…"

Joshua gave a nod. "Glad that you can help. After we defeat this guy, you can do whatever you want." Everyone started in their attack stance and DeFaux turned into his true form. Logan looked angrier and angrier. Then, he smiled.

"If we're playing cat and mouse, maybe we need some cheese!" Logan said and headed towards the others.

"Dammit!" Joshua yelled to the others, "Guys, look out!" Caught off guard, the sisters screamed however no pain went to them. Instead Chrono held off the attack and thrusted it back at him.

"Damn, you live!" Logan said spitefully and headed back to his original position. Chrono fell on the ground, unconscious again.

"That devil doesn't know when to quit," Aion said admirably.

"We need to think of a plan to defeat Logan. We're getting nowhere."

Remington thought for a moment. "Wait a minute," he said pointing, "what's that around his neck?" All of them looked at Logan's watch.

"The watch, that's it! If we can hit the watch then his Devil's Fusion will be gone and we'll be free to attack him."

"Don't forget," Viscount said to him, "he has erected a shield around him so we'll have to take that down first."

Joshua thought for a moment and then something caught his eye. He saw Rosette holding her gun and winking at him weakly.

"Don't worry about that. Take down the shield; I'll take care of the rest." They turned to Logan who was now laughing.

"Plotting my demise? No matter. Once I defeat you all everything that I do will be that of a distant memory!"

The devils, Remington and Joshua looked at each other.

"So enemies have become allies," DeFaux said to Aion. "Don't get used to this. I am merely helping to defeat a common enemy that plans to disrupt the order to things. Once that is done, you are mine."

"Likewise," Aion said. He turned to Joshua.

"Joshua…you're not the Joshua I know..."

"I know, I'm a dissimilar person where I come from. Someone mentioned to me about a dream you had; a dream for the ultimate freedom."

"Yes…where are you getting with this?"

"Let's make a bet. If we can defeat Logan then you and your sinner crew disband and abandon that dream."

Aion thought for a moment. Then he said, "Kid that must be the stupidest thing I ever heard. However since we're making our final stand here, I'll agree to this ridiculous wager." They shook on this. "This is because your other self has become…close to me during the last few years."

"Later," Remington said to them. "Right now, let us turn to the task at hand."

The evil aura around Logan started to go stronger. "Soon the world will be mine. There's nothing that anyone can do."

"You talk too much," Joshua yelled back. The group went to a head-on collision with Logan with both parties yelling.
