Auzzie concentrated his craft into the best shield he could get out of it as the power from the orb crashed into him. Then, Rainalia and Auzzie both fell to the ground.
Ghost ran into the room in time to see the two fall down. He was at Rainalia's side immediately. She looked up at him.
"So you're here. I'm glad I get to see you again," Rainalia said.
"Of course you get to see me again. You will always be able to do that," Ghost said.
"No, not after this. I used the apocalypse Ghost. This is the one time you can't save me from the Spectre's Circle. No matter how hard you try or how hard you want to. I love you Ghost," Rainalia said softly.
"Don't die dammit! You can't just leave me here alone. What am I supposed to do now?" Ghost said, trying to keep the emotion out of his voice with little success.
"Live my love. Live. Here," Rainalia said as she placed her hand on Ghost's forehead.
Ghost felt a slight tingling go through his body. The interlocking diamonds on his shoulders disappeared.
"You released the seal?" Ghost asked.
"Yes. Now you don't have to worry about me seeing your power. Goodbye my love," Rainalia said as her silver eyes closed.
"She's dead. What will you do now? Will you run, or will you try foolishly to kill me?" Auzzie said as he stood back up.
Ghost straightened up. A tear ran down his face and froze into ice. It then shattered. He turned to face Auzzie.
"It's time for you die Auzzie. Rayna has released the seal on my true powers," Ghost said, his voice cold once more.
Instantly, the air around Ghost dropped in temperature. He began to walk towards Auzzie, his footprints appearing on the ground as patches of ice, then melting away.
"Regardless of how strong you are now, you are still no match for me," Auzzie said as he shot a bolt of lightning into Ghost, "DIE!"
Ghost took let the electricity course through his body without even flinching.
"You'll have to do better than that if you want to kill me. Perhaps you really aren't as strong as I thought you were, although the scar still burns sometimes," Ghost said, voice lacking emotion.
"Ah, so I did scar you then. Well, I think I'll add some more scars to your body," Auzzie said as he readied his bo staff.
"Alright. Try to," Ghost said, voice still distant and emotionless (a/n: from now on, put absolutely no emotion into Ghost's voice).
Auzzie ran at Ghost and swung his staff. Reacting at the last second, Ghost pulled out his daggers and struck twice. One to deflect the staff, the second to kill Auzzie. Only the first worked. As the staff got blocked, Auzzie dodged out of the way of the second dagger.
"So the sealed held off more than just your control over ice. Then it's time for me to stop playing around as well," Auzzie said.
The air around Auzzie began to crackle, as if it was alive with electricity.
"So here we are. Two witches with comeplete conrtol over a different element facing off against each other while the stupid witch hunting group has no clue where we are. The fools are off chasing a nothing that I left in the hotel room back there. By the time they get back, only one of us will still be alive. Who shall it be Ghost? Will the cold grip of ice triumph over the power of electricity?" Auzzie said.
"That we shall see," Ghost said.
"Not one to talk during a fight. You've grown up since that scar. It's truly a shame you have to die," Auzzie said as he shot another bolt of lightning at Ghost.
Ghost deflected some of the lightning but was still struck by some of it. He barely felt the pain, as his body had been numbed by the cold surrounding him.
"You'll have to do better than that. Or maybe I should attack this time," Ghost said.
Ghost charged at Auzzie daggers trailing behind him. He swung the dagger in his right hand only to have it blocked by the staff. He quickly whirled around only to be blocked agin.
"So, you got faster," Auzzie commented.
"Bite me and go to hell," Ghost said as he continued his attacks.
"I'd really rather not. You see, I like living up here. It's not that hot," Auzzie said, blocking another one of Ghost's swings.
"Well, if you would rather be cold, ICE SPIKE!" Ghost said as he leapt away and slammed his hand into the ground.
Instead of multiple paths of ice spreading from his hand, the ice burst out of the ground in a path straight towards Auzzie. The spike shot up and then exploded sending ice shards in every direction. Auzzie took some cuts from a few shards but had managed to dodge most of them. He focused on his craft and expelled more lightning towards Ghost. Again, Ghost deflected some of the electricity and took the rest of it into his body. The battle continued in this manner for a couple of minutes and then Ghost let a smile play across his lips.
"You've lost Auzzie," Ghost said, panting.
He had seared flesh across his whole body, but he didn't feel anything. Auzzie just looked at him.
"You're crazy. We both knoiw you can't keep fighting much longer," Auzzie said.
He was just as battered as Ghost, except that instead fo the seared flesh he just had cuts lining his body.
"With out the seals Rayna placed on me three years ago, I can show you my ultimate move. Sadly, I won't be alive to see what your dead body looks like, as the attack drains the life of the caster. Oh well. Nothing can stop the Final Apocalypse. Or at least, I've never known anything to. Spectre's Circle Final Apocalypse!" Ghost cried.
The walls around the room lit up. All of the scars on the walls caused by the elctricty began to hum with raw power. Blue lines began to appear, and then a light mist seemed to seep from the lines. The mist hovered over Ghost and began to take shape. What appeared to be people's bodies began to dirft out of the mist. Ghost stoiod there as the bodies stood next to him. When the last body had descended from the mist, Ghost looked at Auzzie and said a single word.
"Die."
He then flipped a dagger over and stabbed himself. As he fell to the ground, a body similar to the ones that had come from the mist rose from his dead form. As one, the bodies began to move towards Auzzie. Auzzie did his best to try to kill the forms, but because of the fact that they were already dead, he could do nothing as they overwhelmed him and began to drain his life force away from him.
"Damn you...Ghost," Auzzie said as the last of his life was drained away from him.

Raven's Flat (bet you didn't think we would ever get back here, huh?)
"SO basically the three witches killed each other for us? Wow, and we didn't even ask them to," Sakaki said casually.
"Basically we got lucky. I investigated the place where the battle was fought. The walls were completely torn up and their blood covered most of the floor. Rainalia was lying on the ground, one leg completely fried, and Auzzie looked like just skin and bones. Literally. The strangest body was Ghost's. It looked like he had stabbed himself," Amon said.
"So we had a suicidal witch?" Sakaki asked.
It was Robin that replied.
"No. Ghost used a forbidden attack to kill Auzzie. In order to use the attack, your opponent must create the symbol, and you must sacrifice your own life for it to work. The power of the Spectre's Circle is actually strengthened by the nbumer of people you have killed. The Final Apocalypse, what Ghost did, takes the suls of every person that has died at your hands and recreates their bodies. Then, you kill yourself to add you soul to the mix and the bodies overwhelm your opponent and drain the life out of them. It's what you could call a last-ditch attempt to kill your opponent."
"And you know how much about forbidden witchcraft, why?" Michael asked.
Robin shot him a death glare. While not as potent as Amon's, Robion's death glares tended to work because of the 'I can reduce you to cinders' aspect of it. Michael quickly decided to shut up.
"So what do we tell Zaizen?" Sakaki asked.
"Exactly what I just said," Amon replied.
Robin got up.
"I'm going to go out for a bit now," she said simply. She walked to the elevator, went down, and exited the building via Vespa.
Harry's"Hello Miss Robin. The usual?" Master (bartender dude) said warmly.
"No, not today, thank you. Do you remember that man that came in here a couple of days ago?" Robin asked.
"Why, yes I do. Very quiet person. He always seemed to keep to himself. Why do you ask?" Master asked.
"He was a witch, apparently from America. He could create and manipulate ice, and he even scarred Amon," Robin said.
"Really? That will be one to hear from Amon later. What do you mean by 'was a witch'? Did he die?" Master asked.
"Yes. I was wondering if you knew anything else regarding the Spectre's Circle."
"Ah, this again. I'm afraid I have told you everything I know about that symbol."
"Did you know that that man could perform the Apocalypse?"
"So that's how he died. Yes, I knew that he could perform the Final Apocalypse," Harry said.
"Why didn't you tell me he could do it?" Robin asked.
"Because I knew he wouldn't use it on the hunters."
"How?"
"He told me so. He was a very perceptive person. He knew that you would come to me for information on the Circle after your fight in the park over there, so he told me everything about the attack."
"Thank you very much. Just one more question," Robin said.
"What is it?"
"What was it that Ghost would order when he came here? I would like one please," Robin said.
Master smiled warmly, "Of course."
Robin sat and watched as Harry turned and prepared a drink. He set the beverage in front of Robin. It smelled sour, but Robin picked it up and blew on the contents.
'One last drink to you Ghost,' she thought as she downed the liquid.
Well, that's the end of my fic. Recently I began to think of a different way to make things work out, which would lead into a completely new story. If you care, then a) let me know in a review, and b) keep reading. I shall discuss this idea with my beta at some point and we shall reach an agreement. Also any critiquing/ideas would be very much appreciated. It's also not good for my morale if I'm sitting here, my best story has 10 reviews, and I look at Rozefire's profile and her best has literally 9156. Of course, that story also has about 30 more chapters than mine, but whatever. also, take the fictionpress link in my profile and read my original fiction there. but make sure you set aside some time before you do.
