Chapter 13
The Slammoids gave a screech and charged for us. There were five of them. They were Queen Kala's first line of defense and what a defense they were. Harvey turned into Humungousaur and charged ahead. Rosie and Isa collapsed the dirt from under the beasts. Unfortunately moving the Earth wasn't going to aid us this time. The Slammoids were known for being exceptional diggers.
"Rosie! Isa!" I shouted. "Dirt won't work! Try using-ahhh!" As I shouted a Zaroffian dove from a Slammoid and landed on top of me. He had a sword at my neck. I used my powers to levitate him off me. I spun him around using my mind and tossed him straight into a Slammoid. The earth shook and even the smallest of pebbles rattled. We needed to take out those worms first. While I fought off a Zaroffian, Humungousaur grabbed one of the Slammoids by its mouth. The beast tried to bite into him.
He turned it on its side twisting its neck and killing it instantly. He then dove forward into a cloud of dust to grab another; only this one decided to shoot acid his way. He evaded and dodged the spray of its spit. It missed him by a hair each time. Humungousaur then transformed into Diamondhead. He shot crystals from his fists at the beasts. Their riders had fallen and were on the attack from below. They used their swords to block the blows from the crystals. I could hear the clanging of their swords in the distance.
As Harvey took down one of the Slammoids, Rosie in her Anodite form created vines to wrap up the Zaroffians. They didn't stay tied for long. Isa tried to aide her by capturing their feet in stone from the Earth. They were incredibly strong, but doing this allowed Rosie to cut them in two with her vines.
"I wish we could blind the worms somehow!" Isa cried out.
"I know me too!" Rosie screamed.
Mira and Anna watched as Isa, Harvey, Rosie and I made our first moves.
"Mira I have an idea!" Anna exclaimed.
"Great! What is it?!" She replied and tossed a fireball at Tyson. To which he caught and smiled. Mira gasped.
"Put water and heat together what do you get?!"
"This is no time for science lesson Anna!"
"Steam!"
Anna waved her hands and created a long flow of water. She cascaded it over everyone and Mira shouted as she hit it with a fire blast. There was a burst of energy and then fog appeared. We blinded the enemy.
"Alright!" Anna shouted and high fived Mira. I ran over to Harvey.
"Harvey!"
"Yeah?!"
"I remembered that Petrosapien crystals are a huge weakness of the Slammoids if you hit them in the mouth."
"Good to know...but now that we've been separated by fog I won't be able to hit them directly."
"Leave that to me. Jesse! Get ready to clear the air!"
"Got it!"
I closed my eyes, my mind acted like a third eye. I could sense where everyone and everything was by my mind. I could once again predict the moves of any target I wanted."
"Get ready Harv..."
Harvey lifted his fists.
I held the side of my head.
"Right! Now!" I shouted. Harvey groaned and shot directly into the mouth of a Slammoid as it appeared from the fog.
"Left! Behind me!"
He shot two more.
"Thats four Bry...where's the fifth?"
"Hold on give me a minute..."
My vision flashed and I could see the creature digging through the soil. It was at my feet.
"It's here! Under me!"
I dove foward and rolled out of the way as it tried to attack me. Harvey shot it as it came up out of the ground. Once the Slammoids were all taken down Queen Kala released more Zaroffians.
"Now Jesse!"
Jesse swished his hand and the fog evaporated.
"They must be stopped now!" I heard Queen Kala yell out. "Go! Kill them!"
The Zaroffians were attacking left and right, this time they had blasters. One laser hit Harvey's shoulder.
"Harvey!"
Several small pieces of crystal shattered from his shoulder and he fell to one knee. Some of the Zaroffians had swords and attacked my sisters head on. They used their powers over the elements to the best of their ability. Mira created a flame circle around herself. She then tossed fire balls at the Zaroffians. Isa used solid stone and tossed them. Anna used her water, and with Jesse's help created ice. Justice was using bolts of lighting and in one swift motion he took out more than 20 of the Zaroffians.
King Kayor only cowered in fear behind a rock. At one point a Zaroffian grabbed Anna from behind causing her to shoot her water at Justice. He retaliated by flicking electricity at it. There was a flash and it began to rain over us. I took out another Zaroffian before checking on Harvey. We were getting outnumber, overpowered, and overtaken. Yet, Queen Kala still had her strongest allies in reserve. She was determined to beat us when we were down.
Harvey fell and transformed back to his human self. His shoulder was bleeding.
"I got you Harv!"
"Bry...if I die here-"
He groaned as I stabbed his wound with my thumb.
"Tell me later."
Lasers fired all around us. One grazed my face as it missed my head by a few meters and cut open the side of my cheek. It began to bleed. Suddenly a vined dome appeared around us.
"Rosie..." I breathed.
"Come on Harvey...I need you to take out the Zaroffians guns."
"I...I'll try."
He transformed into Big Chill and went intangible. Even though I knew it hurt him he flew upward and down toward the enemy freezing their guns. The guns then shattered and crumbled like glass. The dome around me disappeared and Rosie flew down to greet me. She transformed into her human self. Her lip was busted and she was dirty from head to toe. So was everyone else. The rain mixed with the dirt and created grime. The long rain started to turn the field into knee-deep mud, making it difficult for the Zaroffians to move about.
We then heard Big Chill scream the Loboan jumped him and began to claw at him. Big Chill tried to cover his face with only one good arm.
"Harvey!" Rosie and I cried out together. I started to assist Harvey when Rosie was jumped by Margalos. She grunted and transformed back into her alien form to fight him off. Meanwhile Sean was fighting Anna, Bentley was fighting Isa, and Adrien was fighting Mira.
"Air and fire don't mix girly." Adrien told Mira.
"Don't call me girly!" Mira shot a fire ball at Adrien, he blew it out before it got to him. Mira's side was bleeding, I'm not even sure how that happened I wasn't watching. I couldn't there was far too much going on at once. I was anxiety ridden. Even Anna and Isa were injured. Anna had a cut under her eye, and my God Isa's nose was broken and bleeding down the front of her shirt. I promised Mom and Dad I'd keep them safe. It can't end this way. I then heard Jesse scream. My breathe quickened as I looked over at them.
Tyson had Jesse pinned down to where he couldn't move.
"Still got those scars the boys and I gave you Jess? How bout a burn to go along with them!"
He tighten his gripped on Jesse's wrists. His hands started to heat up until he was blasted by a bolt of lighting into the wall. Justice whose ear was bleeding down his neck helped Jesse to his feet. Jesse had a few small nicks of blood on his face.
"Thanks..." He breathed.
"Yeah..." They were both suddenly hit with a burst of flaming energy coming from the wall and thrown backward.
"No!" I hollared before being grabbed and held back. It was Immor.
"Oh Ssh ssh ssh!"
I fought in his arms for him to let me go. I then head butted him with the back of my head. He growled and held his nose for a split second before jumping on top of me. I hit the dirt face first. I turned over and grabbed his hands as he tried to grab my head; and get inside my mind. He almost poked my eye out. In anger he grabbed a piece of crystal nearby that was left over from Harvey and the Slammoids. He slapped me across the face with it.
I let out a scream and blood began to leak from the side of my head. I felt it run down my cheek. Immor's eyes were cold, and he stuck out his tongue as if to devour me. He grabbed me up and pulled me by the head to his lips. He began licking my blood. It began to sting. I then kicked my legs and rolled over on top of him. I punched him hard in the face and got to my feet. Everyone was losing. I had to do something.
I threw my hands up and created a large force field over everyone. I then levitated all of Queen Kala's army into the air. I swished my hands and brought them back down with a hard thud. Rocks, mud, and dirt kicked up in the atmosphere. Jesse waved his hand and cool air evaporated the debris. As his cool air power mixed with Anna's rain it began to snow. It made the arena slippery to which I slid all of Kala's minions into the wall beneath her. The snow became trampled. It was stained red with both our own blood and the blood of our enemies. The wall collasped and Kala screamed as she fell foward into the snow. She growled and got to her feet.
My family and friends joined me in the center. They were severely battle damaged. Harvey was human again, and holding his shoulder. I looked at Rosie then back at Kala. Using my mind I forced her cane from her hand into mine. I snapped it over my knee and threw the gem on the ground. Rosie threw an energy blast at it, and it disintegrated. Rosie glared at the Queen.
"It's over Kala." I breathed.
It grew quiet. Her own kind were in disbelief. She then let out a laugh and cackled. Her fallen most deadliest of allies got back on their feet. Only Tyson, Adrien, Bentley, and Sean no longer had their powers or their memories. Probably as a result of the gem being destroyed. They were battled damaged also. They swiftly ran over to my Uncles.
"Just, Jess?! What's going on?!" Tyson hollared.
"Not now guys." Jesse mumbled.
As Queen Kala finished laughing and the echo of her laugh faded around us she inhaled.
"It's over is it? Like this is some great triumphant in your book?! Eh, Bryan?!" She cackled again.
"Kala stop! It is over!" King Kayor called out. He walked through us.
"You have brought enough death and destruction to this planet not to mention the other planets you involved in your sick game! Our people have seen you for who you truly are! Power has always been your main focus! I married you in an attempt to change you. When I saw that you could never be changed I called in the help of these brave warriors! They did as you have asked and it is now over!"
King Kayor was standing up to her, possibly for the first time in his life.
"They proved that they are strong, and that you my fair Queen are unfit to be Queen, as King I revoke you of your title and all rules you have set. From now on The King rules and what I say is law! Goban!"
Goban walked up behind us.
"Take my ex wife to the dungeons!"
"No! Kaiser you can't! Immor stop him!"
"I don't think so!" I waved my hand and pushed Immor into the wall with my mind. Rosie wrapped him in vines. The Loboan only cowered like a scared puppy. Margolas started to run and Jesse created a tornado to keep him spinning in.
"And...and open a portal send these evil creatures into the Null Void!" commanded King Kayor. The crowd then cheered as a portal opened up for us to rid the field of our foes. The entire colosseum was in an uproar.
"People of Galia from this day forward there will be no more battles or executions!"
The cheering grew louder.
