Great news, I finally have the fight against Albedo done and there are no cliffhangers, Yaaayy!

Chapter 8

"Screw reality. I make my own."

In my right hand I was holding a longbow T-76 (it's a sniper's rifle) at Albedo's exposed face. What had happened was when she brought her axe down I swung my right arm to the side of the axe and diverted the strike with my left. The resulting conclusion was the axe driving into the ground beside me but I had the flesh on my left arm peeled off in the process. The strain I put on my muscles didn't help with the pain of my arm getting skinned.

Making use of that opening I materialized the rifle and aimed for Albedo's head. Honestly a Gatling gun would've been better, but that was made of several LEGO pieces in my world and this was only one. It was easier to picture.

Albedo's smile returned as the flesh on my arm healed itself. "You know that can't kill me. You've lost this match no matter what you do."

"Meh," I responded nonchalantly and pulled the trigger.

"[Iron skin]"

Bang!

The bullet was rebounded off the overseer's forehead with minor damage into my gut, but in that moment I switched hands with the rifle and slammed my right onto the ground outstretched with the palm facing down. The yin-yang symbol in the palm began glowing a dark purple with the rest of my arm.

'Remember what Cocytus suggested, larger details first and then the smaller ones. Focus on the drawing, what did it look like? Red hull, three turrets on either side with three cannons each by the wheel house at the stern with rockets built in. At the bow of the ship was a gigantic sword.'

My arm began humming loudly as the light grew brighter. Soon the ground began rumbling deeply as though something was coming from below it.

"What's this?" said Albedo confused, the rest of the Guardians in the grand stand had the same expressions on their faces.

"NOW RISE, DEUCALION!"

By my command the ground gave way to a silver object that rose higher and higher while growing wider and wider. Eventually it began slicing me in the ribs until I was cleaved in half like cheese. What the actual hell?

The pillar continued to rise with more of the shuttle coming out, only this time it was armoured platting coloured black. My top half stumbled around the rising creation till I was caught between the deck and a massive cylinder connected to what seemed to be a turret with three other cylinders coming from it. 'Cannon's, I'm wedged between the deck and lower cannons of the ship?!'

Eventually the shuttle was as tall as the amphitheater, and just as wide. Reforming my lower half back I observed the destruction of the colosseum, chunks of arena and stands sliding of the Deucalion's armour with the massive horns jutting from the top falling to the ground with thundering crash's.

"Jesus, how'd things get this out of hand in a mock battle – oh god, I'm heading straight for the ceiling!"

Still wedged, I furiously attempted to dislodge myself with my strength now but gone. Too late.

The tip of the Deucalion rammed itself into the fake starry sky, burrowing into it with me still aboard. Chunks of rock and debris struck on me leaving deep gashes all over.

In no time flat the rest of the fictional ship had burrowed its way through the equally as fictional ceiling and had gone straight into the 5th floor of Nazarick. 'It's so cold up here.'

Unfortunately the ship kept on ramming through ceiling after ceiling until it had gone through the first floor of the tomb and was now rising towards the sky. I think I might've seen a small, squishy pink bug on my way up. 'If I don't stop this now it'll end horribly-.'

"Garmadon!" yelled a voice from behind. Cranking my head around I saw Albedo in her broken armour clinging to a busted turret cannon with her axe wedged into the ship for support. "You've desecrated the Great Tomb of Nazarick, prepare to die!"

She mouthed something that I didn't hear, but once she finished she disappeared in a flash of blue before appearing before me with her axe cleaving though the air at me. At that movement I managed to wiggle free and avoid her blade as it sliced the turret off its rotator, but now I was in a free fall.

Csharrnnng!

The turret fell too until it disappeared in a series of blue pixels. As I fell I was too weak to pull the same ironman trick I did earlier to get myself out the situation.

'You know, this sucks. All I wanted was to have fun, grow old happy and die with satisfaction in my world. But nnooo I had to get dragged into another and fight to survive. Guess the silver lining is that I'm now a fictional character of my design. Now I have to fight Albedo an - oh here she comes now,' back on the soaring ship that was now beginning to level out, Albedo had leapt off in a dive with her hair flapping in the wind and with her axe by her side as she plummeted. '… You know what, screw this. I declared I make my own reality and that's what I'll do.'

Letting my arms flap lazily in front of me I concentrated on a LEGO creation six-by-six with a height of twelve blocks. Purple lightning sparked before me and four large barrels with vast amounts of copper tied into a solenoid in each materialized. The four solenoids were connected together by two disks on each end and coloured silver. Grasping the materialized object, that was no bigger than I was, with both hands I glared back at the oncoming beauty.

"Hey Albedo, meet another science friend of mine. His name is magnetism!"

Focusing on both my hands I sent an electric current through the solenoids through one and dropped the temperature in the other. Suddenly my iron arm and leg slapped onto the electro magnet and were held firmly in place. Looking back at Albedo with my one good eye, she was still hurtling towards me, but something was different in her descent.

Her arms were flailing about as through in panic but after moments of hurtling through the air she slammed into the electromagnet with the massive thud that sounded like she was winded. The two of us now were now falling attached to the magnet.

"What the hell is this Garmadon? What have you done?" she yelled over the whistling wind.

"Clearly you don't know the laws of magnetism. By the way, ever seen Kung Fu Panda when Shifu and Tia Lung are fighting and end up falling back to the temple?"

"What?!"

"Didn't think so."

Panic flashed over Albedo's face as she struggled to break free with both of us falling to Nazarick. Closing my eyes, I awaited the moment of impact.

"[Greater teleportation]."

"Huh?" my vision was engulfed with a flash of white and when it cleared I found ourselves amongst the rubble of the amphitheater. My first thoughts were that Albedo had pulled a fast one on me. "You cheater! That was supposed to be the grand ending where we both crash land and you tire yourself out while I lie dead from the fall and your fallen strike, then see if I could resurrect myself. Don't think I can do that though (he can't)."

"You idiot, fallen strike wore off from you already, and do you think I care what you think? [Maximize magic, multiply] [singularity]."

Several black orbs appeared around us, growing to the size of basketballs. The surrounding rubble began breaking down with its pieces trailing towards the orbs. The same thing began occurring to the electro magnet and Albedos armour.

"Wha - are you crazy, you'll die if you use this spell," I cried, and then I feeling an ever growing itch on the side of my face and left arm. Looking down my heart stopped, my arm was also crumbling away and turning to ash. My healing was taking effect but it crumbled as well.

"If it kills you I'll gladly do it for the glory of Lord Ainz Oal Gown. May his rain last for eternity!" she cackled as her face began crumbling and sucked into the orbs.

'Shit, I can't do anything while I'm stuck to this magnet – ow wait,' I stopped freezing the electro magnet with my left arm and raised it to the orbs. "How about thiaaahhh!"

With my arm being so close to the singularity, it got sucked in an instant down to half my upper arm.

'Well this is a shit fest of a situation I'm in,' I yelled internally, waving the stump around. 'The only other arm that can do what I need to do is made of iron and stuck to an electro magne – what if I stop sending volts into it?'

Brining the manipulation of electrons to a halt, my right arm stopped generating electricity and I tried to move it. It didn't even budge.

'Jesus what are the other elements in this thing? Did I accidently aline the molecules and turn the electro magnet into an actual magnet?!'

Panicking even more, I began kicking the magnet while my other leg was now crumbling away. Back at Albedo, she's already lost her hair, horns, ears and down to her elbows. The frightening overseer was still disintegrating before me.

'Think dumbass, think. Magnetic fields grow stronger the colder the North and South sides are, so I need heat it up now! Now, now, NOW!"

Focusing on the molecules under my hand I rapidly vibrated them while trying to lift it. Very slowly it began to loosen, but at the same time the itch on my head had spread.

'Okay, tricky part now. I need atoms with an atomic number of 92, but that's gonna be hard with atoms that only have 2….. Of course, the magnet must have titanium in it, I could use the 22 protons in each of its atoms to create the uranium!'

At this point I couldn't feel my lower half and the decay was reaching for my eye. Amongst the vibrating molecules in the magnet I managed to convert the protons and electrons from four atoms to one and transmute a single uranium atom with a left over oxygen particle. Moving to the next group I repeated the transmutation.

Eventually I had a dozen or so uranium atoms as finished products but was losing vision rapidly. 'Guess this'll have to do. If I don't act now I never will.'

Zeroing in on the left over oxygen atoms I began tearing the protons out of each nucleus and hurling them at the decaying uranium.

"…."

"…."

"…."

Nothing was happening, the nuclear reaction I was hoping for wasn't occurring. My vision was now but a speck but I could still see Albedo who was probably feeling as worse as she looked with parts of her skull showing. The last thing I saw before my world fell dark, were green sparks around my hand.

"….You're dying way too early pal. I grant your wish and this is how you repay me? I expected better," a feminine voice said depressed.

'Oh boo hoo hoooo. It's not up to you on how I do things, I live the way I want to and die the way I want to. Not that I wanna die right now. And what do you mean 'grant my wish,' I never made one to a voice in my head.'

"I'm not a voice in your head; you're on the border line between life and death here so you're in mine."

'So your head's purgatory? That's gotta suck. Any chance you can help me out here? I don't want to go to the other side just yet.'

"No I won't, you're about to die so you're going to remain here for-."

'What does the fox say? Nananing ning ning ning ning ning. Nananin ning ning-.'

"What are you doing?"

'I'm singing the 'what does the fox say?'. What the fox say? Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow! Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow! Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow! What the fox sa-.'

"Please stop. That song was popular in 2014 but I have no interest in it anymore."

'No way, it's my favourite song, and since I have time to kill I'm gonna sing it to my heart's content. Your fur is red So beautiful Like an angel in disguise-.'

This went on for a while and the voice was saying nothing. I was beginning to think it had gone away.

'-hiding in the woods-.'

"Fine, shut up! Just please shut up. I'll give you another chance but you had better not come back anytime soon, or at least until you complete what I sent you there for. If you come back before then I'll spill the beans to everyone about your darkest secret in your world and sentence you to an eternity of pain and suffering."

'Okay, but what's this mission?'

"I'll increase your healing alongside the stats you set for yourself. Just don't fuckin come back."

'You still haven't answered my question.'

"You shall now return. The nuclear reaction you tried to start with the uranium is about to happen."

'What-?'

Wwoooooouugggghhh! Boooom!

An explosive force blasted me off the magnet and slammed into the ground with pain singing all over. Despite that, light slowly creaked into my eye and the feeling of my legs returned to me. Opening my eye, the first thing I could see was the starry night sky and a giant tear in it.

Hoisting myself up, chunks of rubble slid off clunking to the ground. 'Shit, fffffaahhh, I forgot to ask who that person was. What evs, I might just call her Geader for now (mix of reaper and god),' I thought, surveying the area.

It was a war zone, the once tall and proud amphitheater of Nazarick was now reduced to so much broken stone. A fair way away, Aura, Cocytus and Demiurge were searching amongst the rubble. I opened my mouth to call out but a groan stopped me midway. On the other side of the crater that was before me (no doubt made by the explosion) laid a heap of torn metal and so much exposed bone.

"….Albedo," the once beautiful, but scary, Gaurdian overseer lied half dead, most of the skin on her face was along with parts of her head and all four of her limbs were down to the base. She looked like a limbless mummy from a horror movie, but cheesy.

'Crazy bitch, didn't peg her to be this crazy in the anime. I… oh fuck my sentimental side, I can't have her dying on me now,' muscle pain absolute, the crawl over to her was like trying to move after doing something athletic that you haven't done in a long time. It frigg'n hurt!

Pulling up alongside Albedo, I began feeling light headed as I stretched out to grab hold of her. A blood shot eye snapped open and glared down at me. "Don't you dare touch me you vile human (wheeze), I's rather die than have you aid me (wheeze)."

"Shut up you suicidal angle. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and saving Ainz some trouble you'll definitely cause him."

Albedo's breathing was becoming more irregular and her eye was beginning to close again. "All I wanted; was (wheeze) to be of use to Lord Ainz, so that he may love me-."

'Tell me something I don't already know.'

"-But now I (wheeze) I (wheeze) I (wheeze)…"

"Come on women, you're on the clock!"

"…..I….," she closed her eye completely and her breathing was almost to the point of stopping. Despite the whole situation, I imagined a loud and solid beep was playing (heart monitor beep).

"Okay, times up!" I yelled, slapping my hand onto Albedo's bear skin through the hole in her armour. It was surprisingly soft. "Restore."

Red lightning suddenly traced themselves from my hand to Albedo's stumps and head before exploding out of her. The stumps of her arms and legs began to bubble and boil with bones growing out and wrapping over it. Her skin, hair and horns all returned to her face and the armour grew itself back. Unfortunately that included the hole my hand was in, so it got cut off by the new metal.

'Argh fuc-what the hell?! I do something sincerer and I lose a hand over it!'

Right now my vision's beginning to blur, and I doubted Albedo had pulled another singularity spell. "Am I about to pass ou-?" my vision gave out, senses shut down and darkness enveloped me.

Darkness, that's all I can see. Total darkness and distant voices echoing throughout my drifting conscious.

"…..Found them…. They're over here."

"Dear lord, get him off her…. [Demonic healing]."

'Wait, get who off who? Who's even taking?'

"…Lord Ainz, we can explain…."

'Lord Ainz? Isn't that the name of an anime character?'

Cracking open my eyes I came face to face with an undead face in a field of broken stone. Suddenly it all came flooding back to me and I darted my head around. Before me stood Ainz Oal Gown, three maids and a military looking guy were by his sides. Behind me were Cocytus and Demiurge who were holding up a large silver cross that I myself was both nailed an shackled too. I'm no Jesus Christ ready to be crucified you know!

Ainz's eyes flashed red and felt like he was peering into my soul I had the nagging feeling that he might be upset.
"You have a lot of explaining to do, Garmadon Edward-."

'He used my full name. This must be serious.'

"- for starters, explain why you were on top of Albedo, unconscious while she too was unconscious!"

'Shit, he doesn't think I laid her and we both passed out does he? At least I was right about this being a serious matter.'

Trying to find the words, my mouth moved with nothing coming out. "…..Well you see by the time the mock battle had ended, Albedo was in such a horrific state that I thought it be best to aid her and repair her armour. You know, like a true gentleman."

"You 'repaired' her armour? Are you saying that you repaired a legendary class set of armour, earned by Tabula after fighting countless enemies, that was somehow broken during a mock battle?"

"T-To be fair she was pulling out all the stops and I saw it fit to follow suit. Yes I broke a hole into the abdomen of the armour and I thought I'd clean up after myself. C-Cocytus, you saw me break it right? Right?" I pleaded, turning to the insect warrior for hope.

"…"

"Is this true Cocytus?"

"Yes my lord," he announced, giving a slight nod. "I didn't quite see what happened but after an explosion of fog there was without a doubt a hole in Albedo's armour."

'Thank you my friend whom I barely know.'

"But is she alright?" I asked, not seeing Albedo anywhere.

"She's resting in her room now. Explanation of armour aside, explain why the 6th floor amphitheater now lies in ruins!"

"Well, I urrgghh. You see the thing is I-."

"Answer me!" Ainz yelled, gripping my neck with a bony hand and lifting me off the ground. "How could the amphitheater, a product of the blood and sweat my friends and I shed together for over a week and cost so much, be demolished in less than an hour?!"

At this point I was beginning to see that green light flash over Ainz again from earlier. Am I the only one who can see it?

"I ca- can't bre-ath," I croaked, beginning to feel light headed and my eyes bulged out.

"[Grasp heart]!" In Ainz's other hand, a red heart beated in his palm as he slowly clenched it. At the same time my chest began to tighten inside and it was becoming harder to breath.

"Wait wait, I – I may not be able to expl- explain this to you right now (gulp) but I can do my best to repair it for you. Let me make it up to you!"

'Yeah right, how am I gonna fix something this big?'

"Yeah right, how can you repair an entire colosseum by yourself faster than my forces?"

'Can he read my mind?!'

"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear. Just give me 30 minutes and it'll be done! Please, (wheeze) ta - take my hands off this cross and put me down!"

'But PLEASE not in that order.'

"….."

"…"

"….."

The tightness in my chest let up along with the grip on my neck. I no time flat I found myself clattering to the ground by Ainz's feet, coughing and rasping for air.

"30 minutes, no more," he said, turning around and making his way with one maid and the military looking guy. The other two maids, one with an eye patch and another with a creepy fixed smile knelt down next to me. They began pulling out the nails in my arms and legs then moved to the shackles at my wrists and ankles.

'OOWWWW! Bit over the top don't you think?'

"Oh wait, could I have something to repair my eye?"

Ainz stopped midway before turning side on with a death glare. I think that's the only type of glare he can give. "There is nothing wrong with your eyes. Get to work." In a flash of blue Ainz and the other two were no longer in the area.

Moving my metal arm to my right eye, I was taken back by the fact I could see out of it. 'Okay, someone please tell me what happened.'

"Human," spoke the maid with the eye patch. "You have 29 minutes and 17 seconds to repair the colosseum. Get a move on."

"You heard her," Demiurge snarled with a frown on his face that gave him more wrinkles than I believed he had turn coats. "Chop chop."

"I don't think I like your attitude," I frowned at the formal demon.

"I don't care," he said nonchalantly, he and Cocytus began making their way. "CZ is to remain with you until the amphitheater is repaired. Entoma." Two scaly tentacle-like arms extended from under the fixed smile maid's skirt and wrapped around the silver cross. She heaved it into the air as though it were made of cardboard and moved to follow the others.

With Demiurge's back turned, I saw fit to perform the most mature action and stick my tongue at him. "Hhnnnnn."

Wounds just about done healing themselves I got up and thoroughly examined the area with my activated eye. With the crowd now gone, it was safe to say that CZ and I were the only souls in the area. I looked up and groaned at the sight of a circular object hovering in midair with blue threads weaving in and out of its outline. In the centre sat Ainz in a massive chair with Demiurge and the maid he had earlier standing at his side.

'Well I guess I can confirm that my eye is working again. Dam Ainz, watching me with his magic mirror, makes me feel uncomfortable. Bottom line, how am I gonna fix this?' I mulled, deactivating my eye and looking down at my hands. 'I could try that restoration thing again, but on a scale such as this?'

Walking over to a boulder four times the size of me, I placed my hands on it and hoped for the best. 'Restore.' Nothing was happening, not that I expected it to though. Looking down I noticed a piece of dark fabric pinned under the rock. Reaching down I gave it a tug and noted it was firmly pinned.

Squatting lower I shoved my hands beneath the boulder and gave it a heave. It budged slightly but that was about it, the boulder was firmly in place. "You know what, I'm gonna be lazy and blow it up," I mumbled to myself.

Brining up my right arm I materialized a large drill that began spinning round and round, faster and faster and rammed it into the rock as a punch, creating a hole that went up to my elbow. In my left hand I materialized a thick stick of dynamite, rested it in the hole after retracting my metal arm and lit the fuse.

"Fire in the hole!" I yelled, tossing the drill to one side and jumping behind some rocks, awaiting the explosion. CZ was apparently tacking cover with me.

Moments passed and yet there was no explosion. Popping my head over the top, I was half expecting the dynamite to blowup in my face, but it wasn't in the hole. "Oh right, ha ha, it timed out."

Frustrated, I shoved another stick in the hole again, but held onto it till the fuse reached the cylinder.

Boooomm!

The explosion blasted the rock into smaller chunks along with my arm. It felt worse than when I cut it off back at the adventure's guild, big surprise. With the coat now relieved of captivity and my arm growing itself back, I picked it up but of course it had to be torn all over with bits and pieces missing.

"Restore."

Lightning sparks flashed over the seams mending the tears and growing back pieces that were missing. I was about to slip it back on when an idea struck me. Holding it in front I tore off one of the sleeves and held it in my left. In my right I held the original piece.

"Restore."

The torn coat in my right grew back its sleeve, but the sleeve in the left just remained the way it was, a torn off sleeve.

'Just as I thought, chances are my restoration power only works on the largest piece of the broken object, in this case my coat. So for the amphitheater, it won't work on rubble,' I thought as I slipped the coat back on. Taking a knee, I rested my hands on the ground. "Restore."

The red sparks faintly danced on every rock around CZ and I. Very slowly they began vibrating, but that was it, they weren't moving at all. With no results yielded I stopped what I was doing.

"It's way too big. I won't be able to repair the amphitheater with my current size….. hey CZ," I called the automaton maid. "Do you know where the centre of the arena is?"

"Yes, fellow me," she said bluntly. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought CZ was dead inside. Wouldn't have been the first one I've met today. Darting over rocks and crumbling walls, CZ ran in a random direction with me close at her heals.

Eventually CZ stopped and stood awaiting my arrival. "So it's just right here?" I asked, standing next to her.

She gave a quick nod in confirmation. "You have 22 minutes and 43 seconds remaining."

"Plea-please don't. Don't stress me out any more than I already am," I groaned. "This day isn't turning out to be a pleasant one, wonder when it started. Hey CZ, can you help me restore the amphitheater."

"No, you are to do it on your own as per the agreement with Ainz."

"I know but all I need you to do is basically run around and leave a paint streak behind-."

"I will not."

"Aaarrgghhh, fine."

'At least she showed me the centre.' I thought, marking the centre with an X. 'Okay, so if I want to repair the amphitheater I'll need to be bigger. But I don't think I can do that. Best chance is to use my blood as a catalyst since it doesn't turn to ash like my limbs do. Spread myself far and wide, demon summoning style. But I'll need heeellp…..'

I turned back to CZ with a smirk while she still had her poker face, a dam good poker face. "CZ Delta, do you know what Ainz's most embarrassing secret in his life is?"

CZ looked at me with her solid face before raising an eyebrow at me. "His most embarrassing secret? Please elaborate."

'God I hope Ainz hasn't stopped watching this.'

"As you probably know, I'm from the control dimension where everything is written and decided upon, so it would make sense that I'd know peoples darkest secrets. For instance, I know you occasionally love cute fluffy animals more than the Supreme Beings. Now, I can either tell you Ainz's secret, or you can help me with a simple task that won't be in direct violation of the agreement."

"I refuse to aid you. I am listening."

"Long ago, before you were even born, Ainz was a young person going through a metamorphosis called puberty and it took him more than 5 years to go through. During this time he had powerful urges that could only be satisfied with the contents of a large box which he kept hidden in his room."

"Please elaborate, what was in the box-," cutting herself off, CZ raised a hand to her ear and shortly gave a couple of nods. "Understood. Lord Ainz requests that I help you to the extent that it will not breach the agreement made. But only on the condition that you, by my lords words, 'shut your fucking mouth'. End of message."

'Ha ha haaa, and my finger were crossed the whole time.'

"Okay, great. Now, are you able to store large quantities of liquid in your body in addition to your own?"

"To an extent."

"Great," I began, kneeling down and running a metal finger through the dirt. "This is the plan; I'm going to saw at my own arm over and over so that I bleed, a lot. You'll then be taking in that blood and creating the following pattern on the amphitheater. Like so," tracing my finger in a circle to outline the colosseum boundary I ran a series of S's inside that rotated. In the end the diagram was a circle with a spiral leading into the centre. "The centre of course is the X over there. Be sure not to get any blood on the rubble, only on the amphitheater floor. Got it?"

"Affirmative."

"Great, let's get started," I announced, materializing a hack saw in my right and began sawing at my left. I gritted my teeth through the pain.

'Drrrgghh, this hurts more than simply cutting it off!'

Back and forth, back and forth. Blood sprayed everywhere as the teeth tore at my flesh, as it did a thick trickle of blood gushed out and splattered on the ground while the red lightning sparked around the wound. The sawing I could deal with, but what CZ was doing creeped me out. When she said she could contain other liquids I didn't think she'd take it in through her mouth! Oh god!

After a minute of sawing CZ had her fill and she began running around the amphitheater spraying my blood with something that looked like a water gun attached to her waist. Once she ran out I gave her some more, hacking at my arm all over again. This went on for a while till she came back saying the pentagram was finished.

"Objective complete. You have 2 minutes and 16 seconds remaining."

"Okay okay, thankyou fffaaarrghh," hissing through the pain I dropped the saw and gripped my arm as lightning sparks healed the gash. After healing I moved over to where I had marked the X, now covered in lines of my own blood, and placed my hands in the centre. "Restore."

'God I hope that voice in my head did what I hoped it did. I'm basing my future on a hunch here.'

"…."

"…."

"I don't-."

Fzzzzzzzchchczzzzzzz!

The blood below glowed a deep crimson before re lightning, much bigger than the ones that heal me, raced throughout the blood trails. They darted from rock to rock and arched through the air racing towards the outer layer of the pentagram.

CZ stood behind me on edge and was following the path of a bolt that weaved in and out of a blood trail. Then the ground began to shack and I had a sinking feeling as it felt all too familiar.

'Please not another space ship.'

Suddenly lightning erupted from the boundary around the colosseum that branched out to the levels above and striking the edges. It looked like a giant tree made of red lightning. CZ was now jumping all over the place while holding a hand to her ear again and yelling something I couldn't make out. Around us, the lightning that hummed on the boulders grew in intensity as they slowly lifted off the ground.

Some shot to the sides of the amphitheater, fitting themselves together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Walls and seats repaired themselves as though time was being rewound, but it didn't stop there. The remaining rubble soured higher than the horns of the arena.

The ones that did began interlocking with the broken edges of the gaping holes the lightning reached for of every level. When the last of the broken rock became whole and lined itself with the hole in the sky, the lightning show seized to be. The lightning tree retracted back into the pentagram and everything was swell. What a load of bull!

"Hey, um, CZ. I don't question the way how you're marveling at my work, and how awesome it is. But can you give me a hand please," I asked the maid who was now back to her poker face expression but still held her hand to her ear as she starred down at me. "I need you to cut off mine, they're kind of fused here. Pretty please?"

During the reconstruction of the amphitheater, I had sunk into the ground up to my elbows and thighs. A possible side effect of using so much of my healing ability on a large scale. But then the loss of blood quickly caught up with me and I began blacking out.

'If this keeps up, I don't think I'll be able to fight Shalltear…'

Okay, that's the chapter. already got a head start on the next but I need time to make sure it makes sense. If I might've made Albedo seem weaker please let me know. I've got this nagging feeling that I've forgotten something about her that's very important. Look forward to posting the next chapter, bye.
