The King Is Still Standing chapter 5
'anger is a dangerous tool, it can destroy everything that you hate or everyone that you love. But that hasn't stopped anyone before'
"Master! Please! Do you hate them so much has to destroy your body!?" ruby was in emotional pain this time terrified of her master, "What the heck is that thing!? The monster they're merging together?!"
"everyone get out of here!" I yelled seeing the witch raise her monstrous hand then crash it down "UUWwahhh!" they screamed running away "is everyone okay?"
"kukuku~ what do you think!? This is the mighty power of a 100 year old witch! You will die before the sun even rises!" bold claim for such arrogance "Everyone! I need you guys to get out of here and fast! This is going to get ugly!" I waved everyone to get out staying far from the battle "Kukuku! Even after witnessing my true form you still have the courage to face me! How determined are you!"
"*sigh* moka! I require your assistant!" I grabbed her attention "I'm going to borrow your vampiric power to destroy this woman" I was in front of her rearing an open palm out, but she looked hesitant "look I'm sorry for just using you for your hidden power it's not very nice of me seeing I'm a friend but the fiery anger has exhausted me quite a lot and I need your help" she looked at me considering her options "you don't have to, you can leave this to me I'll fine away to stall time while you get everyone to safety, at least you'll be safe from- mm!" she closed the gab leaping for kiss breaking away shortly after "you told me to never say weak things or act weak again, so if you must use me then use me I don't want shiva to think I'm useless" she held my hand gripping it tight "I'll never think you're useless~ in fact" I raised my hand to her chest "you are stronger than me" I shackled the chain just when the witch attack *boom! Crash!* "you are by far the biggest fool to let your guard down against me!" the old witch thought it was her victory, she was wrong. *Boom!* a blast of deadly light exploded around her hand "What is this light?! So un pure and powerful!"
"you're lucky I'm in a hunting mood, or I would beat you to the ground so much for bringing me out here just for her!" this nasty tongue, mean glow she's awake "it's been long moka, love you"
"don't plaster your affection on me, I'm here to clean your mess seeing your so weak" so mean~ and even after I was holding back the dangerous strike "alright then be my guest knock her dead" I gave her the path she needed and she took off running up the arm "Get off me you vile creature!" she swung her other arm violently slapping at moka but she dodged pushing off from the arm flying through the sky "don't think size gives you a winning chance!" she brought a hurricane kick swiping side ways at her face "A direct hit!" someone yelled out seeing steam come off the monster but the vines still moved constricting around moka "kukuku~ I know this immense strength" moka looked back to still hear her voice "this Is the mighty strength of the vampires, creature war bounded turning their energy into physical strength" the smoke cleared off and moka saw her attack hit but like rubber her face just bounced back "now since you were so lovely to bring yourself to me, I'm going to take that impressive power" the vines started seeping their way into her skin "What the hell!? It's going inside my body? AHHHHH!" the vines gripped at her power draining her of everything "This is my power! The ultimate spell that combines other organisms to me! I will use this to destroy those filthy humans! AHAHAAHAh!"
"that isn't going to happen~" moka spoke weakening by the magic "And why not Worm's meat?!"
"you forgot I'm not alone~" a brief fear sprung from her eyes as she lost track of the demon "LOOKING FOR ME!?" but he came to her "STEP OFF!" I sliced her from the waist then pushed off from her to grab moka "you okay? those looked terrible"
"they were, I was been eaten from the inside out but your attack won't hold her down for long"
"I know we need to aim for the magu in her book" I intrigued moka "you got a plan big guy?"
"yes, but it involves throwing you straight at the beast~" she became annoyed at me "sorry, but we also need a sharp object to have enough piercing pressure" she got more irritated at me "it seems that I need to absorb your amazing strength as well!" a fractured voice made its appearance "to image that I'll have two unstoppable forces dwelling inside me!" I saw that her body grew like spores oozing it's replacement "Just give up a become part of me!" the vines were fast and kept on target, they chanced me threw the sky narrowly dodging it's fearful grip "Shiva look out!" without knowing I was locked into a prison surrounded by the vines "Shit!" the raced towards me enclosing the distance further "Master stop!" I didn't die because ruby took the damage blocking her body "oh dam~ my magu broke, guess it's just a sharp useless stick now" ruby chucked the wand down to me having moka caught it "please stop her~ she's … gone too far …" ruby laid bleeding out wrapped in vines. *Chomp!* "RUBY!" if it wasn't painful already seeing a friend lay dead, she was offered up like breakfast to the beast "there… now we can be together again and you'll never disobey me like this" I swear this woman has no remorse in her heart "Are you ready?" I asked moka "you the one with flight, I should ask you that"
"heh! Always the amusing one are we? ALRIGHT LET'S DRIVE HER TO HER GRAVE!" my anger was my fuel here driving me forward getting the speed necessary for the launch "Ahhh! Just stop moving and face your short death!" she swiped furious of her misses "Just die!" she sent her vines straight at me "GO MOKA!" when I reach velocity I threw moka straight pass the vines and took the blow digging into my skin "know you place!" *shink* moka brought down the wand jabbing straight into the book's gem "you have been defeated, old witch"
"RRRRAAAAWWWWAHHHHH!" the beast howled its anger to the sky encasing the world in pure light, causing another explosion.
A new light shone on the witch's hill, the birth of life from uncontrollable hatred "I'm going to miss her" yukari spoke out to the sea of light "yeah we will all miss her" kurumu added on "I think shiva is going to miss her the most though~" yukari pointed out that I was glooming over the hill's sadness "should i-" kurumu wanted to comfort him but moka walked up first "I've never lost a friend before, this pain is too unbearable"
"what are you going to do about it?" she placed her hand on my shoulder "she only relied on her hatred and in doing so she brought the destruction of her only family, this isn't your fault you just got a glimpse of the argument" somehow I managed to hear caring words from the inner moka this time, "thank you, that makes me feel better" I looked into her red striped eyes and I only saw her compassion "oh? you might want this back" I reached to her handing the rosary back "yeah, I'll take it but I also want something else" I was intrigued, *chu~* then surprised when moka kissed me on the check "you know the other moka was jealous that you were spending more time with the others, she cares about you" she touched my heart, it was so nice to hear her say it. *beep, beep!* "sorry we're late! It was really busy traffic to get here" nekonome sensei appeared from her car with the bus behind us "yes it was a nightmare, we first picked up this girl before getting here" a shaggy voice came from the bus holding a stranger sight, everyone was shocked too see it "hehe~ you looked surprised to see this girl, maybe her master used what little strength left to save this girl" it was a girl with black raven hair and tattered clothes "RUBY!"
