Chapter. 48

"Is this a fucking joke?" Shouted Vincent.

Jade pointed to Vincent. "You brought this on yourself Tyrant."

"I didn't do anything to the amethyst!"

"I don't care."

"You know we can't trust Teal. This is what she wants!"

"Then she's getting what she wants, for now."

"So you know you're being played like a God damn marionette and you're still going through with this?"

"Maybe, but look what it's done. The legion demands blood, your blood. Now fall with some dignity to keep the legion staple."

Vincent drew his sword. "I don't give a damn about your fucking legion! All you had to do was let me go and that would've been the end of it. You just had to let me walk away, but now this. I'm not going down like a bitch!" Vincent kicked off the ground and charged at Jade.

Jade clapped her hands to summon a crystal spear with a golden head that glowed white. "Judgement blow!" Jade lunged her spear and Vincent leaped to his right, firing his blaster to keep her back.

"Blaster shot!" Vincent carefully fired laser bolts at Jade who failed to deflect them with her spear as she backed away. Vincent stopped to keep his blaster from overheating.

Jade spun her spear then struke the ground, the spearhead glowed sliver and to rods extended from both sides under the spearhead. A pale cloth unrevealed from the rods and Jade held up her hand to opal legion. "Rise warriors of the opal legion! You're ruler commands you to fight!" Five members of the legion watching had pale white rings appear above them and lower over them, scanning the players to create grey copies to stand beside Jade. "Go!" Jade points to Vincent and the copies run.

"Blaster beam!" Vincent fired a beam at the first copy and watched it turn to ash. The second one reached Vincent and threw a punch, Vincent spun around the copy and sliced its head off then shot a beam at another incoming gray avatar. The last two were carrying large shields, trying to crush him from both sides. Vincent leaped back just before the shields slammed into each other. "Royal cut!" Vincent dashed to the avatars and cut them both in half.

"Blaster shot." Vincent ran to Jade and fired more laser bolts at her, this time Jade was taking the shots. This time Vincent stopped when his blaster's heat was half full.

Jade held her hand to the opal legion once more. "Opal legion, come forth! Your ruler commands it!" Jade's hand became a fist as five more legion members were scanned and copied. This time Jade copied two red avatars each armed with rifles, two greens, and a blue with a great axe. Jade pointed to Vincent, the reds opened fired as the greens rushed towards Vincent with the blue behind them.

Vincent dove to his left and ran to evade the incoming bullets as the others chased him. Vincent stopped and held his blaster to the reds. "Charge shot!" Vincent unleashed a large beam to take out one of them then he was bashed in the back by one of the greens. The blue stood over Vincent and raised its great axe to cut him down. Vincent rolled out of the axe heads way then slashed at the blue's legs, cutting them off and blue's body fell back.

"Royal cut!" Vincent stood up and sliced through the green then fired at the blue to end it. The last red kept firing at Vincent to chip at his help. Vincent ran to the red as his fired his blaster trying to hit it. The red stopped shooting to reload, Vincent ran as fast as he could and cut down the red.

Jade held her hand to the opal legion again. "Rise opal legion! Your ruler commands you to fight!"

"Do you have anything else?" Jade summoned two more green avatars with three metal avatars. "No range? She's turtling up. I need to get closer or this'll never end." Vincent dashed at the copies with his blaster firing at them but the green avatar's shield held up.

Vincent jumped over the green and swung his sword at the metal avatar which moved out of the way. One of the metal avatar jumped onto Vincent's back, Vincent grabbed onto the avatars arms and hurled them to the ground.

One of the green avatars smacked its shield into Vincent's back and sent him to the ground. Two metal avatars tackled Vincent and held down his to keep him on the ground while one green avatar pushed its shield into Vincent's back.

Jade lifted her spear as the cloth rolled up and the two rods retracted. "It was a good show, it hurts me to do this-"

"Bullshit! you'll sack anyone to keep your image of knowing what you're doing!"

As the legion cheered for Jade Corina slammed her fists on the barrier. "Stop this Opal! This isn't right! You can't do this, we owe so much to him!"

Jade turned to the legion, stepping closer to Corina. "He's been nothing but trouble since he came into the legion. A rabid dog to be put down."

"You know that's not true." Levi stood beside Corina. "The amber and sapphire legions fell to him, the ruby fell to him."

"The legion is on the verge of falling apart. His sacrifice will keep it intact." Jade turned away from Corina and Levi, walking towards Vincent who struggled against the copies.

"Tyrant!" On the other side of the battle field Rebecca stood along, beating her fists on the barrier and sending requests to join the fight.

Jade brushed it aside and looked to Rebecca. "The pet wanting to defend her master." Jade pointed her spear to Rebecca. "When I'm done with your boyfriend you're next. You have two choices. Fight me and join him, or bend the knee to me and live."

"Stop this, please! I, I can't lose Tyrant!"

"Then swear loyalty to the opal, swear loyalty to me."

"Rose!" Vincent shouted. "Don't do it! Never bow to anyone!"

"Definite to the bitter end." Jade walked towards Vincent. "But it ends here."

"You don't know anything about me." Vincent engaged his incarnate system, his arm engulfed in flames. Vincent ripped his arms away from the metal avatars then pushed himself to his feet. Vincent swung his arms to take off the metal avatar's heads, followed with punching the third one through the chest.

The two green avatars rushed at Vincent with their shields up. Vincent punched through one of the shield and grabbed the avatar by the arm and swung them into the other, knocking them down. Vincent finished them by stepping on their heads.

Jade raised her spear and thrusted it into the ground, the rod extended and unfolded the pale cloth. Jade held out her hand and the entire opal legion was surrounded by pale rings. The legion was scanned and copies were conjured to the battlefield, circling Vincent.

"Well come on then!" The avatars charged at Vincent, Vincent fought off the avatars a best he could but there were too many. Each copy Vincent defeated Jade would recreate it. Vincent's punches were slowing down. One of the avatars got a hold of Vincent's arm, Vincent threw them off but another held on to him, then another until several dragged Vincent to the ground.

The avatars piled onto Vincent, keeping him down. The remaining avatars stepped aside as Jade walked closer to Vincent. "You power is strong but mine is stronger. To be a leader your will must be unrelenting."

"A strong will isn't everything. Strength is nothing without wisdom."

"What do you mean?"

Vincent grinned. "Sometimes to move forward you have to more backwards. Sometimes, You gotta take a loss."

"What do-"

Vincent swung his right arm, pointing his blaster at his head. "Charge shot!" A laser launched out from the blaster, vaporizing Vincent's head.
