Chapter 33: It's My Turn

Nothing could prepare anyone from a fight so brutal. When the swords are held by their masters then that means anything will go... No matter how much they hated it. To the point of no return that they would battle as only one would be the Victor. Even when it seems that Victory is a blessing or a sense of pride, the fear of losing builds up like a wall to a building to an empire. An empire full of nothing but fear... Some can overcome it, but others fall to the point of no return.

"She's good..." Annelotte was fighting a very dangerous opponent. This woman... Everything about her was off the charts! Her defense, offense to her speed and maneuvering. No matter what she tried, Aldra would see it coming. "I need to find some way to lay even a finger on her! If not..." Her hand travelled to her Red Jewel as she felt the power overflowing from it! If she used it now then everything would be a waste. "I'll have to resort to drastic measures."

Aldra stood there thinking on how to finish this fight. "Sir Belphe!"

"HUH?!" The demon bear sounded both surprised and exstatic. He hovered to the housewife who shoved her entire forearm into his body! "I can't believe you're doing this! In front other people too!" Aldra took back her arm to reveal what seemed to be ladle? What would she need a ladle for?

"Sir Delgore!"

"Since you want it so badly..." The frog plushy floated towards the Housewife as she opened it's mouth to find it filled with a strange broth. With just one scoop, she flung it with ease at the Princess Knight! Every radar in her head told that stuff was bad! She dodged it as quick as she could, but felt a strange burning sensation on her leg! She witnessed the liquid from that demon's mouth melting a spot in her armor! This woman... She is a force to be reckoned with...

In the deepest pit where the arena was held, the other 3 had their own problems. Everything about it was trashed! It was so horrible that the people who wanted to see the fight evacuated!

''Okay... Question...'' Shizuka was breathing heavy. Anarista was quite the opponent thanks to a certain Witch! ''Does anyone... Have a plan...'' She lowered her head while raising one finger before continuing. ''To take this bitch down?''

''No...'' Tomoe answered while trying to cover her breast since her kimono had rips and tears in it. "Nothing is coming to mind right now."

''Sorry...'' The Sun Dancer said feeling worn out. ''Gotta admit; She's good...'' They could all agree on that.

''CURSE...'' Oh no... ''WAVE!'' They jumped away from their cover to find now in pieces. Anarista stood there on the spot with a destructive aura as her eyes glowed yellow. ''How weak... I was hoping for something more... Accelerating.''

''How's this?!'' The female ninja threw an army load of smoke pellets to help the playing field just a bit. However the Assassin had other plans as she jumped up from the smoke with a twisted smirk.

''You're mine!'' She had her sights set on Shizuka as she stood on a destroyed with her arm transformed into a blade. Anarista's shot a Curse Punch as the Kunoichi dodged it on time!

However she couldn't dodge a rib shattering kick which made her cough up her own blood! And with that Curse Energy it hurt WAY worse! ''D-Damn!'' Her body was caught by her...

''After you it's that blind bitch.'' The Assassin spoke while fondling Shizuka's body. ''And after that, I'll make sure you're just stress relief for The Swamp Witch...'' Before she could continue further however, something started to wrap around her limps!

Her eyes did not fool her as they were tentacles! ''You forgot me.'' She tried to turn around but the tentacles were stronger! These things belonged to Luna Luna! They began to explore more with one going down her throat, two sucking on her breast and the fourth going through her panties! ''Tomoe, now!''

With enough strength to her neck, she turned a bit to see the Warrior Priestess held her katanas in front of her with the blades shining beautifully. "Lunar..." She rotated the blades around her body to create a full circle like a full moon! "Slash!" Tomoe brought down her katanas with the light flying through! Luna Luna quickly took off her tentacles to dodge the incoming strike as it went straight through the Assassin!

Anarista yelled in bloody murder, feeling like she was sliced in half! She clutched her body with a cold sweat breaking out. No blood... Just pain! Pain! "W-What the Hell did you do?!" She shouted at the Sword Saint Priestess who walked towards her as she pulled out a strange paper charm. "You bitch...! When I get my hands on you...!"

Tomoe ignored her comments as she focused on a spell. The paper charm seperated into pieces until they reformed onto Anarista's back! "That should do it."

Anarista turned to the Warrior Priestess as she withdrew her blade! "I won't lose!" Before she could even charge in at her, she was knocked out. Her body landed on the ground to see a large bump on her head. They noticed that it was Shizuka's doing since she used her ability to morph her hand into a frying pan.

"Sorry sweetheart." She didn't really mean that. "You were just a bit irritating to my ears." She morphed her hand back to normal.

"Let's make haste to Claudette!" Tomoe said as they all nodded to that. They had bigger things to take care of! "Who are you?" Tomoe asked the Moon Dancer. "Yes you."

"Oh, I'm Luna Luna. Please to meet you." Her skin changed into the Sun Dancer. "I'm a soon to be wife!"

"Soon to be?"

"She means Juan." Shizuka answered. "Gotta admit, he did pick a good one!"

"Oh! When I see that husband of mine..." Tomoe now had 2 objectives. 1: confront Claudette. 2: Beat down Juan so that he learns a lesson. He was now double screwed... "He better stay alive after this!"

Melpha was having enough fun here like everyone else. The Archbishop tested the Inquistor to her fullest potential as she was running out of breath. "Holy Pose: God's Wrath!" A large blast was fired from the Archbishop as Sigui had only little time to think of a plan! She dodged it quickly with all of her speed as the blast destroyed a piece of the castle wall! Sigui saw the aftermath of the blast... If she were hit by that then she would've been a goner. Melpha smiled at her as she spun her flail in a windmill fashion. "My, this is quite exciting."

Sigui was questioned by that. "How is this exciting?"

"Do you not feel your heart pumping?" She asked the Inquistor who stopped fighting for a moment. "It's strange... When I fought in the Queen's Blade Tournament, I didn't feel this refreshed." She placed her heart on her chest. "I think it's because I can feel everyone here... Everyone is doing everything they can." She closed her eyes to focus on the others. "I sense, I feel, I know that everyone is fighting with everything they have... They fight with a will, something for the people they love and care for." She looked at the Inquisitor. "What do you fight for, Lady Sigui?"

"I fight for the Light of God!" She covered her staff in blue flames once again. "There is nothing else I'd rather fight for..." Sigui swung her staff with the flames as they scattered across the field, but Melpha only swiped them away like nothing! Sigui layed on her back while spreading her legs in the air. "Holy Pose: Fear!" The lightshined brightly as it gave her time to attack! Fear makes the opponent unable to attack for some time. Due to their distance she used the longer one, which meant time to attack!

Sigui charged in as she started landing different attacks on the Archbishop! As she was about to land another one, Melpha blocked the incoming attack with her shield! She pushed her back to see an opening! She slammed her flail all across Sigui's body until she kicked her away! "Holy Pose: Penace!" Sigui witnessed the pose as a blast hit her! The Penace pose is used to punish sinners, but the damage is measured by their sins. For Sigui, it didn't hurt that much... "You are quite the skilled fighter, Lady Sigui."

"Thank you, Master Melpha." She bowed in respect. "But, the battle is not over... Is it?"

"I'm afraid it's not..." Melpha started to spin the flail again, but with more speed... It got to the point that it started to shine in a Holy Light. "Lady Sigui, with all my honesty..." She was ready to listen to her. "You passed." She said with love, care and honesty. Sigui could help but shed a tear of happiness, but she wasn't done! "Holy Wave!" She flung the energy right at the Inquisitor, who now needed some luck...

"Holy Pose:" She layed her body down on the ground as she arched her left leg while keeping the right one slightly bent. She grasped both of her hand on her staff as she radiated with a golden glow. "Fate!" The attack that Melpha made to hit was reflected back at her, to which she smiled. She simply spun her flail in front of her as it absorbed the attack!

"You have won." Melpha said to the Inquisitor, who still laid on the ground. She checked up on her to only giggle. "Quite the sleepy one." It was true to her word... Sigui had fallen asleep on the spot. She laid on her left side while sleeping soundly as her staff laid next to her. Melpha left her to sleep as much as she wanted considering she need the rest. The Holy Pose: Fate is quite a powerful one to use as even Melpha would feel exhausted from just using it once!

Now, she had started to Journey upwards towards the top.

"Where am I?" Mirim asked herself wandering a dark hallway. She had been in the castle many times, but she has never been here...

"Dammit! They did some remodeling..." A voice? Mirim hid from eye sight, seeing someone standing there. A woman with tan skin, long light blue hair while wearing black leather armor. In one swift moment, she had threw a knife at Mirim's direction which scared her! "Who's there?" She asked while having her blades drawn. The woman saw Mirim afraid to which she withdrew her swords. "I'm sorry, I thought you were a soldier."

"I-I used to be..." She answered. "But, I'm part of the Rebellion."

"Then that means Juan is here also." Mirim nodded to her statement. "Please to meet you, I'm Irma."

"Mirim." Irma picked up the younger one as they walked through the hallway. "How do you know Juan?"

"I'm his wife." She answered to which Mirim started to panic! She remembered that Juan told her he was married and how she tried to make a move on him! This is bad! Real bad! Irma turned back to Mirim who was sweating while murmuring unintelligible language... "You okay?"

"Y-Yes, Irma! I mean, Ma-am! I mean-" She was silenced by the older one who silenced her by putting her finger on her lips.

"Calm down." She said before patting her on the head. "Look, whatever has you in a pinch you can tell me later." She withdrew her blade as she witnessed something. "We got company..."

Irma charged in at the incoming enemy, but her attack was blocked by something massive! "Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" She saw it was... A dwarf? "Do you know who you're attacking?!"

"Ymir?"

"Huh? Cousin Ymir?" She pushed off Irma to get a good look at her. "What do you want with my cousin?!" Irma calmed her stance to show she meant no harm.

"My name is Irma and I'm a friend of Ymir."

"Irma...? Wait! The old Assassin of the Fang member?!" She was on guard now. "Nice try! But I'm not going let you go anywhere near my cousin!" She charged in with all her might as she slammed her warhammer down, but completely missed her! The floor shattered with cracks forming around them! She was a heavy hitter... Not good! "Stand still!"

"Like hell!" Irma said as she charged in with a slash to Eilin's arm! When she ran at her to get another, Eilin tried to throw a punch but missed completely. Irma instead kicked the dwarf in the back then shoved her knee in the dwarfs gut! The former Assassin kicked her away asshe was sent flying through a door! "Dwarfs are tough... She'll get back up."

"Are you sure?" Mirim asked coming out of hiding. They ran to the doors to find what seemed to be a lab. While seeing a familiar person there too who was checking up on the dwarf. "It's..."

"Hey!" It showed to be Ymir! "Did you guys do this to my Cousin?!" She yelled but saw two things... "Wait... Irma?!"

"It's good to see you too." She sheathed her blades before walking the steps. "Sorry about your cousin, but she thought I was here to kill you."

"Uh... It's fine I guess..." She said before being tossed some bandages from the Assassin of the Fang. However there was another thing that still bugged her... "What are you doing with my Hyper Vibration Armor?" Everything was now way more confusing than they should be... Mirim met Ymir back then before she became any part of this. But... Why doesn't she know who she is?!

The fight between Annelotte and Aldra still held strong! Everything about this woman was just too much! Nothing could even stop her at this rate! Aldra stood there with a confident smirk... Not even a bruise or a scratch... "Dammit... I've got no choice..." She thought before focusing on all of her power. The red gem started to glow brightly with power overflowing the arena. Annelotte's body was surrounded by the wind before becoming a tornado!

"What the-?!" Aldra asked herself as a mighty wind started to form from her opponent. It was very strong that caused the demons to be sent flying through as they cracked the wall of the arena! The one watching this loved what she was seeing... 'Ymir' smirked at the power from the Half-Demon. The winds disappeared before they saw her in the armor she had taken upon...

"Hell's Valkyrie Armor: Cambion Mode!" She announced. Everything about this armor was full of power... But how long is she able to use it? Annelotte would have to figure that out later as her opponent charged in at her! Aldra used every once of strength she had but her strike was simply blocked like it was child's play! The Princess Knight pushed her off before slashing at her! Aldra tried her best to keep away with her clothes being taken away!

The housewife was given a punch to her cheek to which she felt the full force of it! She spun in the air for a good amount of time, but recovered quickly! She witnessed the power that Annelotte has gained from this armor... She charged in once more as they quickly clashed swords before blocking each others strikes! The Housewife slid past the Knight as she landed a hit right on her back! It caused her to lose some balance with the force of her attack.

"She's gotten so strong..." Aldra acknowledged her opponent who jumped up in the air as she came down with a powerful kick that broke the arena's floor! She managed to jump away into the stands where people would sit to get some distance. "Sir Belphe! Sir Delgore!" She called to the demons as they made their way to their Master. Annelotte looked around the arena to see Aldra in the stands, which meant that she was thinking of something.

Annelotte began summoning some strange energy in her hand which seemed to take the shape of a glowing orb! That already sent warning signals in her head! The Princess Knight shot out the orb of power to which Aldra dodged it within a second! She used the plushie demons to stretch out their limps to get her across the arena, but had to dodge another blast! It kept going on and on until the demons started to exhaust themselves and the stands being almost completely destroyed, save for 'Ymir' of course.

Aldra stood completely still as she got in her stance! Annelotte charged the power into her sword instead as multi colored orbs surrounded the blade! She grasp her sword tightly before sending off a powerful shockwave right at Aldra! The only thing she could do was take it head on! It came closer to her every mili-second, so it was now or never! She swung her weapon with all of her might as it caught the shockwave! However, the wave was so powerful that she was being pushed back! There was only one thing on her mind and that was the safety of her husband! With all of her might she swung her weapon as the shockwave was sent back to Annelotte!

With enough power she sliced the shockwave in half as it hit different parts of the arena which exploded on impact! The two looked at each other before Aldra charged in once again as they impacted on the ground with rubble flying everywhere! The two started to move faster than before as they were all over the arena! The pushed each other back to gain distance... Glaring at one another... "This woman... Who is she...?" She asked herself, before seeing something strange...

She saw that her opponent started to clutch her head in pain! Something was wrong! She yelled in agony before a dark pillar surrounded her. When it broke, she was back to normal... But everything was strange... Her silver armor seemed to be gold, or lavender hair black, her eyes now a bloody red. Her sword had the same effect... "Let the Demon consume you, Annelotte!" 'Ymir' shouted from the side lines.

The two charged at each other once more as sparks flew... She was an unstoppable person at this power! A tank with no weakness! "Underworld blood..." Annelotte spoke with a cold demeanor... No feeling or emotion... Just wanting to kill... "It runs through my veins..." She used every amount of power to cause the ground to break once again, as dust, dirt and wind covered both of them! Aldra kept her stance still before leaning into the Knight...

"Is it true...?" She asked her. "Are you not trying to seduce my husband?"

"Why would I?" Annelotte asked her to which she pushed off the Housewife! "I come here to confront the Queen... Nothing else!" She started up her demonic energy before it started to cover the entire arena! This power... It overwhelmed her...

"I regret the whole demon thing now..." 'Ymir' spoke while trying to take cover... When she peeked she saw the power escaping her body!

Something about this woman cause Aldra to reach out to her... She felt her power connecting to her... She didn't know why though. It's like her blood, heart and soul was in sync to hers. She felt the tears swell in her eyes.

Annelotte stood there in the arena as she felt no control... She didn't mean for this to happen... "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry everyone..." She tried every once of power to control it, but she couldn't! Juan warned her... She could control for only some time, but now... Now she would endanger herself and quite possibly many more...

"You have nothing to fear from the Underworld." She heard Aldra speak as she stood proudly by her side. "It's difficult sometimes, but I can teach you..." The Housewife held the Knight warmly as a nostalgic feeling was sent through the both of them. Annelotte felt Aldra channeling her demonic energy with her own as it started to calm down. Her heart felt more lighter now with her soul at ease.

The darkness disappeared leaving only the two of them in the arena. Annelotte had returned to normal feeling much better now. "I guess that's it." 'Ymir' said as she saw Aldra leaving the arena. "Leaving so soon?"

"Lady Ymir, I have no suspicion that this woman is a demon after my husband." She told her with the dwarf only smirking.

"Then go." She said to her. "Hubby is waiting for you, right? You might want to get dinner ready."

"Oh, you're absolutely right!" She walked away from the arena. "Come Sir Belphe and Sir Delgore. We must make dinner."

"M-Madam, are you certain?" The red one asked as he still wanted to eat the Knight.

Annelotte stood there in the center of the arena still bewilldered by her. "Wait! Why did you help me?" She asked the other half-demon who faced her. The kind smile still on her face as she thought about it for a second.

"I don't know..." She said with pure honesty. "When I fought you... It felt like I remembered something. I just wish I knew what it was." Aldra left the arena as she had a strange peaceful feeling deep in her heart.

Nothing could stop the Princess Knight now. "Iron Strategist!" The Dwarf's vision looked at Annelotte who was pointing her sword at her. "I challenge you!"

"Is that a good idea?" She asked before pointing up to the tower. "Cause it seems you've got more important things to do." 'Ymir' simply walked away from her to somewhere unknown to her. Annelotte took her words as she made her way into the castle... She needed to confront a certain Queen.

Every step she took told her that she was taking the right way... She just hoped that everyone else was doing good.

()

"Are you sure about this?" Eilin asked her cousin who now had a bandaged arm. "I think it's highly unlikely."

"Don't worry." Ymir said with confidence all of them hid... Well, three of them hid under the table where a different Vibration Armor waited to be used. "When I 'lost' the one I first made," She looked at Mirim's body which was still covered in the armor. "I started to make another one... Took me many days and nights without any sleep to get it done perfectly."

Everyone was in place as they witnessed the door opening to see... Another Ymir! She walked in place with her clothes disappearing in an instant. As she was about to reach for the armor Mirim appeared from under the table. "I'm back... Lady Ymir..."

"Mirim?" She was startled. Not before getting angry at her. "W-What the hell are you doing?! Don't you know it's dangerous here?!" She shouted loudly which startled the girl as she took a step back. She saw 'Ymir' coming close to her as she grabbed her tightly. "Vibration Armor or not, it's stupid of you to come here dammit!"

This a very different reaction from what everyone was thinking of. They all appeared from their hiding spot with Irma throwing knives at the fake Ymir who caught them all with no problem to it. "Who are you?!" Irma asked with a cold attitude.

The Fake Ymir only giggled before her eyes changed into clovers! "Good to see you again, Kitty." She said before grabbing the fake Hyper Vibration Armor and leaving through an opened window. The weirdest part for them was that she turned into pink goo then reforming into Ymir with the Hyper Viration Armor on!

"HEY! That's for me!" Ymir shouted with fury.

"Guess that explains why it's so tight in the chest." She left the scene as they all followed her! They saw her standing there holding a Vibration Sword as she waited for them. Mirim was the first step up as she took off her cloak and grasp her sword. The two them stood there in the Sky Garden face to face... "I don't want to fight you, Mirim..."

Mirim saw the honesty in her clover eyes... "Then why...? Why did you hide the fact that you didn't send money or my letters?!"

"IF I DID THAT THEN YOU'RE FAMILY WOULD BE IN DANGER!" She shouted. "I didn't want to play with your mind, but I had no choice! Back then it would be amusing to me... But I've changed..." Her hand motioned to her stomach. "Ever since I met 'Him' everything has been different. Playing pranks was fun, killing was fun... But it all changed in the past 4 years... When I became a mother and looked out for everyone." Her memories were scattered everywhere in her mind. "If I did what you asked me too then the plan would of been for nothing..."

"Plan? What plan?" Mirim asked in confusion.

"A plan to save Gainos..." She answered while activating the Wizard Stones. "I didn't mean for you to take a part in the fight... I just needed you for a bit and when you were done I wanted you out of harms way!"

"I don't need to be protected anymore!" Mirim shouted while she activated the Wizard Stones! She charged straight at the imposter who charged in aswell. "Back then I was weak, but ever since I met Yuit, Annie and everyone else they kept getting me back up!" Mirim was able to push the imposter off. They ran through the Garden before clashing again as with every slash destroyed a column due to their power!

Mirim jumped away from her opponent as she got an idea. Mirim took a page from Juan's book by slashing one of the column as it started to fall onto the Imposter! She only smirked before getting ready to cut it apart! When she did her eyes witness Mirim coming in from above with a down slash which she blocked. The attack was powerful enough for her to be pushed where she stabbed the sword into the ground to stop her movement.

The Imposter used more power from the stones which caused her body to feel the vibration at an incredible rate! It caused her legs to almost lose balance, but she held on. "I can't lie... I'm feeling good..." She moaned before running at an incredible rate at the young woman who was ready to take her on! The Imposter attacked her with no mercy with Mirim blocking every attack she was given.

She took her stance as she countered the next attack! Her power of the Vibration Armor increased 10x as it cut through The Imposters aura while slashing at her stomach! She saw the damage she did thinking she would bleed, but the wound instead closed up like nothing. Mirim knew that this person wasn't human, but she didn't think that it could close up wounds like nothing!

"Who is that?" Eilin asked her cousin.

"I have a pretty good guess honestly." She said watching as they crossed blades while trying to push the other one off! Sparks were flying everywhere across the Sky Garden. "That Mirim though... She's really something."

"That she is." Irma commented. "She may seem weak willed and helpless, but through many trials I can tell that she has prepared herself to fight..." The Assassin couldn't help but smirk at this. "Mirim is quite special with the Wizard Stones."

Knowing who the winner would be was in point blank range for her. Their power increased as their aura did aswell. "I-I don't know how much longer I can hold this~!" Mirim shouted feeling like she was about to pass out from the Vibration.

"Yes! Yes! I love it!" The Imposter shouted as she started to take her true form. A pair of pink bunny ears appeared first as her breast became more bigger. Her body growing taller as her hair turned pink with her face changing aswell. "I can't hold back!"

"Thought so! It's that pink slime, Melona!" Ymir couldn't believe she was seeing her after some time.

"W-Who are you?!" Mirim asked as she saw the girl escaping the scene. The last thing that happened was a large explosion of wind happening that blinded their eyes. When it died down they witness the girl passed out from the vibration, but they also Melona holding her dearly.

Irma was the first to take action as she ran towards the pink slime. "Melona!" She looked at the former Assassin of the Fang member as she sat on the ground to check on Mirim. "Is she alright?"

"The poor girl is just tuckered out." She answered with some of Mirim's hair away from her face. "I'm guessing you know everything?"

"The only thing we know is that there's something wrong with Claudette." She answered. "Is it the Swamp Witch?" Irma was only given a nod from the Protean Trickster. Melona carried the passed out girl in her arms as they walked to the Dwarves.

"It's been some time, Ymir." Melona said to her.

"Guess it has. You look different." The Iron Strategist looked up and down Melona's new appearance. Instead of the revealing jacket with shoes, she looked WAY more elegant in the new dress and high heels.

"Thanks for noticing." She smiled. "Now then, let's hurry up to Claudette."

"Hold on, just what is going on?" Eilin asked in utter confusion. "Nothing is making sense!"

"I'll tell you on the way!" Melona said as she ran with the others following her. Whatever is happening, it's not going to be pretty!

()

Everything wasn't pretty right now... "GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Shouted a very angry half demon who was being blocked by a crowd of Knights. All of them charging right at him, but he didn't care how many. He grasp on the knights legs as he used it to swing it's body around to slam into others! He pulled out his sword as he swung every angle against their armor before they all were in pieces.

The Half-Demon kept running until he made to the Castle Main Room... All he had to do was take the staircase to the top. The staircase will take him to the top of the castle where the Queen awaits. Before he could take a step he felt the presence of a demon coming up behind him! He saw it was one of the knights, but its helmet removed! It's skin was pale like ash with it's hollow white eyes! Before it could even attack a loud bang was heard as something pierced it's head!

Eli looked to see where it came from... And it was none other than him! "Hey Kid." Juan said holding out a pistol before putting it in it's holster. "What're you doing out here?"

"You again?!" Eli was angry enough as it was. "Forget it, I don't have time for this!" He walked passed the King as he gripped his shoulder.

"I wouldn't go up there..." He told him before Eli withdrew started to slash at him, but Juan grabbed the Younger ones wrist to stop the attack. "It's better if you leave it to the pros." Eli tried his best to get out of his grip with all of his strength but he couldn't even budge! Not until Juan let him go on purpose with a kick to his back that sended him into a wall. However, that didn't stop him as he pushed himself out as he was now transformed again!

"You're point being?" Juan knew that this guy was on short fumes right now.

"Everything's getting out of hand and because of that, we need everyone out of here." He told him casually. "Do me a favor and get outta here, Kid."

"Kid, huh?" Eli smirked before pacing forward. "I think you'll be blushing pretty pink when I KICK YOUR ASS!" He slid across the room with his blade covered in a hellish red energy! He swiped it at the Rebel who jumped over him like it was child's play.

"Didn't your parents raise you to respect your Elders?" He asked without a care in the World while getting a glare from him. They charged in at one another before seperating again, but this time Eli was chasing him around the room at break neck speed! He was able to get him in his with a large swipe that caused the Rebel to be sent into the wall. This made the Half-Demon smirk, but didn't see his opponent coming back at him!

He felt the full force of the Rebel's blade hitting him so hard he went through two other rooms! Juan only smirked before seeing the Half-Demon coming at him in full sprint! He grabbed onto the Rebel where he made rammed him through the wall then charged up all of his attack in a single punch! So strong it sended him flying through the walls of the castle until he found a pillar that he used to turn in the other direction! Eli saw him coming a mile away as he tried to block the attack with his blade!

Instead of an attack with his sword, he instead kicked the blade that the back rammed into Eli's face where his nose started to bleed! It caused him to stumble back where Juan got the opening he wanted! He started to punch the Half-Demon all across his body where he felt his bones breaking. He finished it off by transforming his pistols in shotgun and charging them up into a large blast that launched the Half Demon across the room! He stood up slowly to see Juan leaning foward while motioning him with his finger to fight him more.

Eli shot himself forward once again as the two of them clashed sword once again! Both of the Half Angel and Half Demon seemed to be everywhere at once! Their speed never slowed down for a second as they battle caused more destruction then it should! The two of them in the center of room as Juan smirked with how powerful Eli is as an opponent... "Not bad." He commented as the two of them broke off before charging a powerful energy in their blades before clashing together!

It caused a blast which made them slide away from each other to gain more distance. The dust cleared for Eli to get a good look at the King who was now in his Cursed Demon Form. His sword was replaced by the blood red sword that the Fallen Angel wielded. He saw the King's focused his vision only on Eli as the two them started walking forward... When it came they charged at the same with their sword clashing together! Every attack was block and every block was countered! It was an amazing sight with them being surrounded in a vortex of their aura as the only thing coming out was wind and destruction from their power!

When they broke out, Eli tried to slice the King in half who caught the blade in his left hand! His blood dripping slowly on the blade to the floor as he placed his sword on the ground. "Play time's over..." He covered his fist in a powerful energy one where Eli had a bad feeling about it! Juan reeled his fist back before punching the half breed so hard that it caused Eli to revert back into normal. The King saw that winner was decided so he returned to normal with his sword back to what it was.

However, he stood back up to charge at the Rebel once again! Juan only sighed as he dodged the attack easily and pushed the Knight to the ground. Eli tried to get back, but found it difficult with the King having his sword near his throat and his boot on his chest. "D-Dammit..."

"You cooled off yet Kid?" He asked the Knight who kept glaring at him. "What's wrong, huh? You're glaring more than usual?"

"It's because you were just toying with me... Weren't you?" He asked with the Rebel simply getting off of him and placing his sword on his back. "What's going on?"

"The Swamp Witch." He answered. "See, for sometime now things been getting crazier than usual." Juan began pacing around the room while looking up. "After all our fighting we got news that the Swamp Witch took my kid captive with a curse... She even put curses on others too. Leina, Risty, Tomoe, Alleyne and finally... My kid. For all I know, she could've put a spell on Claudette as well."

"Is that why demons have been appearing?" He asked him to which he nodded. "I have to go..."

"Look, I told you tha-"

"I KNOW!" Eli shouted at him. "But if I don't then I can't save Eva or Nowa..." Juan's eyes widen with the fact he said 'Nowa' in that statement. "I can feel Eva calling out to me at the top. I have to go or I can't call myself a Knight! Please... Let me fight!"

The Rebel looked at the determination of the man who stood in front of him. He acknowledged his bravery/stupidity and... "Jeez, you remind me of myself from back then..." Juan smirked. "Then what the hell are you waiting for? Get your ass moving before I change my mind!" He pointed upwards to where everyone was going. "I'll see you there..."

"Thanks." The Half Demon placed his sword on his back before continuing. His feet carried him past the Rebel who had his arms crossed.

"Hey! What's your name?" Juan asked him.

"Eli Hunter." He answered as Eli continued his journey until he ran up the steps and out of sight.

"Good luck, Kid." The Rebel began to walk to the steps, but he saw something else instead... It was Agathe who stood there with her blade in her hand. "Whoa... Nice outfit." He said to her to which she just giggled.

"I dress to impress." Agathe tore off her clothes and took off what seemed to be a wig aswell! It's when she fully showed who she REALLY was. When she changed completly, there she stood... Her beautiful and shameless body, the snake used as a pair of panties. Her breast were covered by a chain mail bikini top as a snake pendent hanged around her neck. On her shoulders were pauldrons that had a turtle shell design to it. On her wrist were a pair of vambraces. Her legs were covered by white boots that had a spike on the toe of each boot. Tied to her tie was collection of throwing knives with a dagger aswell. The most noticeable thing was how her hair was now loose as her bangs moved to the right and shorten to her shoulders. "And it seems you've been working out."

"Thanks." The two kissed deeply before they seperated. "I'm happy to see you again, Echidna."

"I'm happy too." She placed her head on her husband's chest to which he played with her hair. "You like?"

"Yeah, it's cute." He admitted.

"How about me?" They turned towards the Benevolent Bandit of the Wild who walked with her hands on her hips. "No love for this gal?"

"Risty! You're okay!" Before he could even do anything, his Wife grabbed him by the collar as she had him in the tango dip position.

"No duh." Risty had the look of a predator before kissing her Husband with as much passion as she could do. When she was done she let her Husband fall on the floor as she gave a sigh of relief like stress escaped from her body. "I needed that."

"You think it was smart for him to fight with us?" Echidna asked as Juan got back up.

"Not really, but I think he can do it." He answered the question.

"And if he messes up?" Risty questioned with a smirk.

"I'll just have to kick his ass." All them departed to the top of the Tower... There, awaits a trial of greatness...
