Academy Chronicles: Rise of the Skylanders
Chapter 25: The Final Battle
The Skylanders made their way down the hill, weapons drawn and elemental powers blazing. With Sonic, Sayaka and Spyro leading the charge.
Looking at the charging army, Izanami uttered a mere chuckle.
"How pathetic. They assembled an army, but they only meet their doom. Monokuma, deploy the barracks."
"Can you gimmie some time, lady?" Monokuma coughed. "I just survived a friggin jet crash! Gotta check on the machine with the cubs, hold the line will ya?"
The bear ran off.
Ronin meanwhile roared in anger.
"My R.E.X! Again! Can that stupid hedgehog and that stupid girl stay away from my stuff!"
Whipping out his pistols, Ronin takes aim.
"You all are paying me triple for this."
"If you can fuckin' survive it." Kurokuma laughed, digging into his chest cavity for a rocket launcher.
"I mean, I'm totally fine, I'm too awesome to die. But you? I'm not so sure of."
"That makes both of us." Ronin said.
"Oh, so I'm riiight?" Kurokuma asked.
"…No."
Kaos meanwhile snapped his fingers as the factory behind them began to chug. Windows flash as manufacturing of Liberators began. The doors slammed open as the programs already made are sent out to cause some havoc.
They looked like human beings, coated in armor found on Kevin Flynn's Grid in the world of Tron. In fact, exact copies. Their neon lights blazed with a variety of colors, reflecting their elemental alignment.
Reaching behind all their backs in unison, they draw their weapon, Identity Discs for battle, letting out a mighty battle cry towards the incoming Skylanders.
"Ahhh, disposable armies! Now you know it's a finale!" Neptune smiled before engulfing herself in light, becoming Purple Heart and drawing her sword.
"Don't get cocky everyone! Everything's on our shoulders!" Sonic warned before spinning into a ball and leaping onto the first Liberator.
Slashing its head off, it turned into cubes. Transformium cubes, the substance a Liberator becomes in defeat.
Holding his hand, the hedgehog began to channel the Transformium and thrusted his hand forward. This caused the Transformium to morph into what he imagined it to be, an automatic turret.
The turret began to gun down any Liberator in the way while the eight Giant Skylanders fell next to it, smashing and using their size the crush any Liberator in the way.
Meanwhile, Spyro flew next to Sonic.
"How'd you even do that?" He asked.
"Just imagine what you want it to become and mentally tell it to go!" Sonic told the dragon.
Spyro, stroking his chin dove down to the remains the Giants left behind, closing his eyes as the Transformium swirled around him.
"Heheh! Alright!"
Flapping his wings forward, the Transformium is sent flying, becoming miniature meteors and piercing several Liberators.
Looking at the carnage taking place, Kaos let out a mighty laugh.
"Hah! Hahaha! Two can play at that game, Skylosers!"
Kaos thrusted his own hand forward, controlling the Transformium in front of him to make metallic trolls.
"Go, my minions!"
The trolls lept up, climbing on a set of Fire Skylanders trying to redirect the flames of the smoking R.E.X to the enemy.
Sayaka, seeing the sabotage in play called out to someone while slicing some Liberators apart.
"Transfer Student, light 'em up!"
Homura looked at where Sayaka's looking at. She took into account on what's going on that she reached into her shield for a flamethrower before running into the battle. Pop Fizz joined the fray, shaking up a fiery potion to help the Magical Girl.
The two put their flaming weaponry to use, shooting and throwing at the Trolls, melting them into a grey puddle.
And since the Fire Skylanders are immune to incoming fire attacks, they're once again free to strike.
"Thanks!" Eruptor called out, commanding his troops, Ignitor, Hot Dog and Torch to control the fire at Izanami.
Before they could, though, gun shots began to fire at them as Ronin struck mercilessly with a vengeance.
"Don't burn my ship even more, idiots!"
Ignitor went behind the Skylanders and stood backwards so his back shield could reflect the bullets, while Homura covered more ground with her shield.
As Ronin got closer, he is then scooped up by the dragon Cynder and is lifted into the air.
"This ain't a flight I'm willin' to take part in!" Ronin quipped, pointing his gun to Cynder's neck.
"You think?" She asked.
And a singular slice cut through his gun barrel in a flash as Purple Hear flies past them.
"Yeah, you think?" Purple Heart chuckled.
"Yeah, I think very much so."
The mercenary then materialized a samurai sword into his hand as he swung, catching Cynder off guard as she dropped him.
Meanwhile, the Fire Skylanders began their assault on Izanami as a gush of controlled fire pushed her back. The goddess winces at the impact before looking at the ones responsible.
"Insects, all of you. Looks like I have to get my hands dirty."
Expelling her coat, revealing her battle gear, an electrical circle forming around her and hovering in mid-air, Izanami loomed over her subjects, still using fire at her.
Preparing to cast a blast of deadly dark magic, an arrow appears and passed through it, dispelling the attack. Izanami turned to see Madoka and Sonic, standing there.
"As I said before, had enough of your shit." Sonic stated.
"…Hedgehog." She growled before speeding into Sonic who jumped at shot a burst of Transformium at her before landing and looking at Madoka.
"Give other Skylanders backup, I got this!" Sonic told her.
"G-Got it!" Madoka said, running to a crew of Skylanders being attacked by the Monokubs.
Sonic's hands set on fire thanks to his sword, his eyes blazing white and stood up against Izanami. The leader of the Disciples, and the leader of LOSE. Face to face at long last.
"Can you wear any less clothes at this point?" He mocked at Izanami's attire. "At this point, I'd rather see Mephiles."
"Millions of years old, and still acting like a child." Izanami pointed out. "Once we annihilate you all, the multiverse is next."
"And the feeling is mutual. I'd much rather see Ragna the Bloodedge at this point."
Sonic then got into a fighting pose.
"Well, I'll tell him you said hi."
Sonic ran ahead, slamming his sword overhead to hit Izanami, but Izanami countered with her own hand, which didn't even seem to drop any sort of blood from that strike.
"Is that all you've got?" She asked.
"Not even close." Sonic said as the sword's lights turned brown, switching to Earth mode as the weight forced Izanami's hand to go down and remove the sword.
This gave Sonic enough time to do a spin kick in her face. Izanami floated back in recoil before ramming into Sonic and driving him into the ground. The hedgehog began punching her at such a close distance. He rematerializes his sword and began to slash at her.
All the while, Sonic continues to take damage from being dragged across the soil. But in time, Sonic kicked upwards with enough force to kick Izanami back.
Revving up his feet, Sonic sped up and homing attacked Izanami again, and again. The goddess spun around in confusion, trying to register where he would strike next. However, in time, her electric wheel register for her and used lightning struck Sonic down.
"Gah! Cheap move, girl!" Sonic groaned.
"All's fair in love and war!" Izanami shouted, forming a dark fist and smacked Sonic in the face, kicking with a dark strike and finishing off with another lighting stun.
Sonic however countered that with his sword as it swapped to Lightning mode before trading blows with Izanami.
The two began duking it out, neither willing to give up. Fists flew, weapons clashed and powers were unleashed until Izanami bought enough time for someone else to strike.
"Gkkkh!"
Struck with blue lightning from behind, Sonic's eyes turned to see Kaos cackling as he has the Sentinel in his grasp.
"Surprised, loser?!" Kaos laughed.
"Farewell, my adversary." Izanami smiled.
"Come on, come on! Stop smiling and destroy hiiim!" Kaos demanded.
Izanami merely closed her eyes as her own lightning struck Sonic as well, sending him floating in the air. The hedgehog vibrated uncontrollably but eventually grinned.
"Huh?! He's smiling… WHY are you smiling?!" Kaos laughed.
"Because you'd think I'd ever fight alone." Sonic weakly stated.
And just then, Kaos is kicked out of the way as Sayaka came to the rescue.
"Hang on, Sonic!" She called out before chucking a sword at Izanami's lightning, directing it back to her as it holds the blade in place before she stopped.
As Izanami gained her bearings, she saw that Sayaka has already casted her healing spell on Sonic as the two stood with swords drawn.
"You ready for this?" Sonic asked.
"Always." Sayaka smiled.
Kaos himself also got up as he slammed his fists on the floor, creating watery sharks from the ground.
"Attack them, my DOOM Sharks!"
Izanami did something similar, sending out a black wave of energy from the opposite side.
But Sayaka and Sonic were ready, charging up golden energy in their hands as the blasted away, shooting at the attacks, wiping them out before charging at their foes.
Back in the fight, Tails has constructed himself a minature Transformium battle station, outfitted with automatic guns of all varieties, shooting down Liberators who come close alongside some Tech Skylanders, Drobot and Trigger Happy.
"Heehee! Shoot, shoot! Mine, mine, mine!" Trigger Happy cackled.
"TARGET ELIMINATED. PROCEEDING TO NEXT THREAT." Drobot declared with every subsequent defeat.
Meanwhile, Kurokuma tried to shoot down parts of the station, reducing it to Transformium, but it's still very dense to eliminate quickly.
Tails, using his Enerbeam to throw Liberators to the ranged destruction that is his battle station with one hand placed his hand on a communication module with the other.
"Makoto, Kyoko, where are you?" He asked. "These things just don't stop coming! We need you to shut down that factory!"
The war continued to wage on, but the Skylanders are still outnumbered as the supply of Liberators are unlimited.
So even though the Skylanders and Disciples may not be losing… they aren't exactly winning, either.
