Chapter. 10
The Gods Eaters arrived in the snow temple as the sun set. They each rode on an orgetail except for Lance and Torri who rode on Kirito and Raven on Eve. Lance sensed the nnova was closing fast. "The beast is on it's way, find somewhere to hide and ambush it. If it's too much I'll send Torri and Kirito."
"You can count on me father!" Torri gave a salute.
"Keep him safe Torri we'll be back soon." Alisa patted Torri's arm and turned away. Soma and Ren turned away as well with Kota chasing after them.
"You think it'll be okay?" Asked Raven.
Lance made a side glance to her. "Isn't that why you're here?"
Raven smiled and gave thumbs up. "Let's go Eve." The prithvi mata walked off in another direction of the gods Eater.
"So it begins." Lance patted his griffin's head and guided it into the temple.
"I hope they will be okay."
"It'll be fine Torri. Have some faith, still." Lance took a seat on the steps outside the temple. "All of this was because of your warning. You should be proud of that."
"Thank you father. I just hope we can change events for the better."
Lance gave nod. "It will. SO, is there anyway we could thank you for this?"
"I want a little brother."
Lance was taken back by the request. "You waste no time, do you?"
"Mother said I get that from you."
Lance grinned. "That's not a, guh!" Lance felt his body feel like it was buzzing. "What is this?" His head felt like his head was on fire. He held his head with his hands.
"Father what is it?"
"I will be whole again."
Lance looked up to the sky and to see the moon. "It's, calling me."
...
"No sign of it here either." Alisa was starting to feel concerned that they haven't found the nova.
"You're boyfriend can sense it, right? If he hasn't called you then it's not here." Ren snapped at her.
"Hey check out the moon! It's freakin' huge!"
"And if the moon was our target, we'd have found it already!"
"Can it! Both of you!" Shouted Ren.
"Hey what's you problem?" Asked Kota.
"Nothing."
"It-"
"It's nothing!" Everyone stopped to look at Ren. "This nova was never in my time. Maybe saving Lance was the wrong thing to do."
"How can you say that?!"
"You don't know what my world is like, so don't act like you can understand it!"
Alisa shook her head. "If you would open up and talk about it then we would." Ren looked away.
Soma flinched and had his orgetail take cover. "The nova's here!" Everyone looked around until they show a white vajra with pink head, cape, and feet standing on the cliff. The aragami roared and jumped off the cliff.
Kota took out his phone and called Lance. "We got the nova right here! It may have spotted us, get over here quick!" Kota heard static over the phone. "That's bad... the signal cut out."
"Why didn't Lance tell us it was close?" Alisa glanced at the beast then back to her teammates. "We should wait for Raven and Torri to get in position before we attack."
Soma rode his orgetail into the open. "This monster roams free because I let it... and I will be the one to cut it down."
Ren rode out at his side. "It's just a a different colored vajra, how much harder can it be?"
The nova roared at the two challengers, it stepped forward and was tackled in the side by a prithvi mata. "Raven?" Asked Ren. Soma charged fro the nova and Ren followed."
"Are they serous?!" Kota could believe their recklessness.
Alisa groaned and fallowed them. "We can't let them face it alone. Come on!"
Eve bit on the nova but it's teeth couldn't pierce the nova's skin. The nova stood up and shoved Eve away, causing Raven to fall off.
"I'll put you down!" Soma charged for the nova with Alisa and Kota giving cover fire. The nova stood still taking each shot that seemed to have no effect. Soma leaped off his orgetail and slammed his god arc on it's head. "No..." Soma's blade didn't cut into the nova's flesh. The aragami raised it's head to back Soma back off then then swung its front paw. The force of the swing created winds that blew Soma away.
Ren rode his orgetail to the nova, he stood up on his mount and leaped back. The ogretail stopped when Ren jumped off and was crushed by the nova. In the air Ren fired his old type arc at the nova's head, to no effect. "How?"
The nova had enough and rushed to the downed Soma. Alisa charged in on her ogretail, changing her arc to sword mode. The ogretail jumped to get above the nova but the beast leaped as well and took a bite out of the ogretail. Alisa was sent fling over the nova and took a swing at its back. Her sword bounced off sending her further into the air. "It's too strong..." Alisa landed on her feet and slid several feet.
The nova turned Alisa and summoned five pink crystal spears, firing them at Alisa. Alisa raised her sheild but the spear's combined force was too much and knocked her back, Alisa dropped her god arc and rolled along the ground.
"Oh God..." Ren was shacking at the raw power of the aragami.
Soma stood back up with his arc held low. "Face me!" The nova spun back to Soma who charged in and swung his arc. The nova blocked with it's right leg but Soma took another swing and hit its head. The nova roared and swung its front legs at Soma, without a window to attack Soma kept jumping back.
"Disengage Soma! We gotta get out of here!" Shouted Kota.
The nova stopped attacking and Soma rushed in, the pause was a trick as the nova called pink lighting around it. Soma was electrocuted and thrown back once again. The nova slowly closed in and was shot by Kota. "Soma! Talk to me buddy!"
The nova backflipped on top of a temple building and created a sphere of red energy over it. "Ren get Soma!" Kota saw Ren was frozen, he fell to his knees and was breathing hard. "Not good!" Kota and his ogretail ran in front of Soma to block the sphere, Soma's ogretail stood up and did the same.
The prithvi mata fired ice spears at the nova but to no effect. After the nova attacked Soma it pounced on the aragami and bit into it back.
"Eve!" Raven swung her scythe and struke the nova in the leg. The scythe didn't cut through the nova's skin, the nova kicked raven away with the leg she tried to stab as it ripped off half of Eve's cape before it could get the nova off. Seeing the carnage Ren was filled with fear and ran to hide.
...
Lance picked up his arcs and stood up. Torri placed her hands on his arms. "Father you-"
"They're being slaughtered out there!"
"You can't!"
"If I don't go they'll die!"
"If you do go you'll die!"
"Then help me! That's what you came here for isn't!?" Torri lowered her gaze and let go. "Get on Kirtio and give me air cover." Lance ran out as Torri climbed on the griffin.
Lance turned to the stairs and jumped down them. Lance stopped when he saw Alisa laying in the snow, he ran to her side, putting down his god arcs and held her in his arms. "Aly..." Lance looked around and saw his comrades down, their ogretails dead, and an injured prithvi mata. Passed them all was the nova, staring at Lance.
Ren peeked out from his hiding spot to see Lance slow lay Alisa down. "What can he do? It's hopeless."
Lance picked up his weapons and stood up. As Ren watched he could faintly see a black mist forming out of Lance's back The nova roared and Lance screamed louder, enough to silence the beast. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
Lance and nova charged each other, the nova swung its right paw and Lance slid to its left, hitting in the side of the head with his right arc. The nova eyed Lance, almost mocking him.
"I WILL KILL YOU!" Lance struke with his left arc then again with his right, he kept the momentum to spin and strike with both of his weapons.
The dark mist was getting thicker as Lance fought, giving Ren a sense of horror. Ren caught a glimpse of Lance's face, it was full of rage like a wild animal.
Torri fired down from the sky, hitting its back. The nova leaped back and roared to create five crystal spears. "NO!" Lance held up his left arc as it changed into gun mode and fired a sphere of light into the sky. A ray of holy fire came down on the nova, destroying the spears.
"There won't even be a memory when I'm done!" The blood art had no visible effect but Lance continued to attack. He jumped at the nova and slammed both of his arcs on its head. The nova raised its head to throw Lance back. It turned around and conjured an red energy orb to throw at Lance. The attack knocked him through a building and lodged him in a wall.
"Father!" Kirito landed and Torri climbed down. "You won't kill my father again!" Torri pointed her weapons at the nova and fired. The beast turned to her and Torri heard a loud ringing in her ears. She dropped her mother's god arc as her other returned into her body as she fell to her knees and covered her ears. "NO! Get out! Out! Get out of my head!"
